090: What Are Your Needs?
No matter how organized your calendar is or whether you have it color-coded, if you're not living out your needs and values, you're still going to feel unfulfilled! Often we trivialize the things that really matter to us–dismissing our needs and values to keep the peace and avoid conflict in our work and home relationships. Knowing and naming your needs is such an important way of living FULL CIRCLE! On this week's episode, we'll start our exploration with needs and discover together: What are needs? How can identifying your needs and understanding others improve your communication and connection in personal and professional relationships? How can resistance be an indicator of unmet needs?

087: Craft It! - A Modern Day Rule of Life
Are you tired of reading self-help books and striving to find the next great method or plan to organize your life? It can be exhausting and nothing seems to fit perfectly. I've been there and the struggle is REAL! In order for a method or framework to be sustainable, it has to be crafted around your story. The REALIFE Process® is a framework that gives a foundation or scaffolding for you to build your best REALIFE and REALWORK around. This week on the podcast, we'll continue our discovery with the difference it can make to have a Modern Day Rule of Life. Last week we started the journey with COMMITTING to live within a healthy pattern of behaviors, rhythms, and routines. This week we're moving forward from DISCOVERY to DISCERNMENT around what's working well and what needs to shift in our REALIFE. Discernment is different than decision making! It's a deeper way of moving forward intentionally with intelligence from all 3 Centers–our head, heart, and gut. As we unpack that practice of discernment, we'll consider these three questions together: Who am I? Where am I right now in life? What do I want to grow into? Make sure to download the FREE Discernment Guide Resource as you begin practicing this deeper way of making decisions with FULL CIRCLE wisdom. REALIFE Resources: 061: Using the N.O.W.

086: Commit to It! - A Modern Day Rule of Life
The Enneagram is a valuable tool for self-discovery and when coupled with REALIFE application, it becomes more than just informational–it's transformational! This week on the podcast we're going to continue to broaden our exploration and look at how whole self awareness can be used to produce sustainable changes! Together we'll explore: What is a Modern Day Rule of Life? How does behavior shape our actions or reactions? How does recognizing behavior patterns open space to create new rhythms and routines? In addition to the FULL CIRCLE wisdom of the Enneagram, our REALIFE Process® Team loves a resource called the 'FASTER Scale.' It's an incredible tool to help you bring awareness to how you're 'doing' and the state of your 'being' in order to take steps toward wholeness and recovery. Learning to recognize and respond to our whole self allows you the opportunity to lean into change–to develop and commit to new patterns and pathways that lead to greater freedom. And that's what a Modern Day Rule of Life is all about!

085: A Modern Day Rule of Life
How do you want to live, so that you can be who you want to be? The Enneagram gives us great glimpses into how and why we think, feel, act, and react the way we do. Alone, it provides great whole self wisdom but combined with application into our everyday life, it allows our "doing" to reflect our best sense of "being." That's where the Enneagram becomes transformational! Designing a Modern Day Rule of Life gives the Enneagram "legs" to put our discoveries into action and embrace a more harmonious way of living. So what exactly is a Modern Day Rule of Life? "A rule of life is a commitment to live your life in a pattern of behaviors, rhythms, and routines. It is meant to be crafted with through discernment, in partnership with God, as you consider the way God designed you and the values He has inscribed upon your heart. Once discovered and written, it serves as a tool or framework that can help you make decisions for your life and determine how best to order and align your days." On the episode, we'll explore the value of creating a Modern Day Rule of Life in order to live more fully and sustainably!
