Send us a textWhat if the road you're on leads you to where you are going? Do you like the current results of your actions? Or is it time to course correct?  Today we explore this idea through the story of Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol.  We all have an opportunity to self reflect on what it is we are creating. We are always creating something. Whether it be consciously or unconsciously.  Why not become a conscious creator of what it is you would like to experience more of? Follow me on instagram and tiktok @maryannwalker.lifeBook your session at www.maryannwalker.life 

Send us a textWe all see the world through our own lens. And sometimes that lens is foggy or distorted, which can make it harder to see people and situations clearly. Today we are going to talk about my experience with jury selection and how becoming aware of our own bias can help us to become conscious creators of the life we want to create. You can find me on instagram @maryann.walker.life and tiktok @maryannwalker.life And, as always, you can find me on my website, www.maryannwalker.life See you there! 

Send us a textMy guests, Tami Gabbitas, defines a trigger as a disproportionate response to the present caused by an event in our past that we have not extended loving compassion towards. In todays episode Tami shares her steps for navigating triggers.  Tami Gabbitas is an Energy Healer and Life Coach based out of Queen Creek, Arizona. She’s a mother, wife, former Elementary School Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, Trauma Survivor, and women empowerment advocate. After experiencing sexual abuse at a young age, Tami lost her voice for 15 years, even coming to doubt her own experiences. When she finally sought professional help, she was met with betrayal at the hands of a health professional. Eventually, Tami found a supportive physician who helped her identify her trauma and provided helpful resources. Since then, Tami has devoted her life to bringing a sense of love and light to women from all walks of life. With nearly a decade’s worth of experience, she taps into her intuitive abilities to help Women heal from trauma. She uses a combination of Coaching and Energy Healing to help victims find their voice, step into their power, and take their pain, and turn it into purpose. To register for my compassionate souls group coaching, click here: www.maryannwalker.life To contact Tami, find her on instagram @strength_to_surrender

Creating bridge thoughts is the key to stepping into something new. If a certain phrase doesn't resonate, try adjusting it a bit. For example, if you have resistance around the phrase, "I love myself" you may want to adjust it to "I am learning to love myself." *Meditation begins at 6:53**Music provided by www.bensound.comI am so excited to share this offering with you!  This package is for those who love. For those who serve. For the sensitive ones. The healers. The helpers. The feelers. This is for those who give so much of themselves that they often struggle with compassion fatigue or burn out. Are you someone who reliably shows up in amazing ways to support others, but also struggles to show up for yourself? Do you say YES to friends and family members, but often say "no" to your own needs? In friendships and romantic relationships, do you find there is an imbalance between the giving and receiving? If so, this is the course for for you! Starting Tuesday, January 3rd, we will meet weekly as a group to learn how to stand in our own power through:Setting healthy boundariesExpressing wants and wishes unapologetically Letting go of our manuals for ourselvesLetting go of our manuals for others Taking ownership of what our thoughts are creatingLiving life "on purpose"Demonstrating integrity by showing up for ourselves when we say we are going toAnd so much more! You have such amazing strength and power. Now is the time to access that strength, compassion, and unconditional love for yourself!Join me for 6 weeks and see how your whole world opens up!Includes:One group coaching call per week ($720 value). This call will include education as well as be an open space for asking questions and coaching.  Are you unable to attend live?  No problem!  Classes will be recorded so they can be watched at your convenience.  Coaching in a group setting, ie- listening to and learning from other peoples experiences, helps the brain to decrease its natural resistance to change  and be more receptive to new ways of thinking and being. This can speed our development of new neural pathways. Another bonus to the group setting is it lets you know that you are not alone in your struggle. There is strength found in community.  When you join, you will also be gaining access to a closed facebook group filled with other compassionate souls, like yourself. This is a safe space for exploring  the concepts shared in class as well as for sharing your personal  journey and successes with those on a similar life path.*An email with a link for the private group will be sent out December 27th, one week before class begins.*Class Details:Calls will be held Tuesdays at 10:00 AM Central Time via zoom January 3- February 7Calls will be recorded for those unable to attend liveIf you have questions you would like addressed in class, requests can be made via email The first half of class will be education, the second half  will be group coaching.Group coaching can be around any of the ideas shared in class or  whatever is coming up for you at that time.  I can coach you on ANYTHING!

Send us a textNot only do we have a manual we carry around for how other people "should" show up for us, but we have a manual for what the holidays "should" look like too. And these holiday manuals are anything but Merry and Bright! They create resentment and hurt feelings. Today we will explore how to proactively create the holidays you want while still allowing people to do whatever they are going to do.  So yes, even if that certain family member puts you on the spot, just like they always do, you can navigate it from a place of clear confidence. You've got this! 

Send us a textDaysia Reneau may have been eliminated from The Voice, but this is only the beginning for her! Not only does she have an amazing set of vocals on her, but her mindset is inspiring!  In todays episode we will be learning from her example of intentionally seeking out ways that our current circumstances just might be perfect for us.  When you worry that you might be at the end of your path and you aren’t quite sure how to proceed, follow her example and ask yourself, “How is this perfect for me?” Whether it’s a change in career, a change in relationship or any other change in circumstance, nothing is a failure when you intentionally look for evidence of what is possible and how this is perfect.  

Send us a textFeelings are a big deal!  We write songs about them, we talk about them, we share them with others... We seek out them out! Feelings shape how we show up in the world. They are SO important for so many reasons!  Today we are going to address some of the reasons why they are such a big deal.

Send us a textWe all grieve differently. And that's OK. Whether you are grieving the end of a life, a relationship, or a situation, I hope you will find some peace in knowing that wherever you are at in the grieving process, it's going to be ok. 

Send us a textOur brain is ALWAYS working. And it WILL find what it’s looking for.  One of the big jobs of being a human is to become the boss of our own brains and think on purpose. For example, rather than letting your brain show you all the reasons why you and your partner aren’t connecting in the way that you would like, intentionally ask it to look for ways that you and your partner CAN connect! Rather than letting your brain replay that same story of abandonment over and over again, intentionally give your brain the assignment to look for ways your life is super amazing right now!  In this very moment! Rather than letting your brain tell you all of the reasons why you’re stuck, intentionally give your brain the assignment to look for simple ways to create momentum! What might happen if you were intentionally looking for all of the things you were doing well right now?Book Recommendation: Feeding your Demons : Ancient Wisdom for Resolving Inner Conflict by Tsultrim Allione.  Get your copy here: https://amzn.to/3SXXqJA

Send us a textAll of us want to raise children that are competent and capable.  In order to do this we must help them to develop their prefrontal cortex. This can be done by helping to create a safe space for learning, allowing consequences to do the teaching, acting vs reacting as a parent by activating our own prefrontal cortex, and working to create a relationship where we can keep the door open to influence (vs control) with our teen.
