How She Really Does It

In today's (headphones-on) episode, I'm asking you what "good enough" is for you. I'll walk through why this concept is so shame-triggering for many people and talk about why you are good enough already. We'll also touch on the importance of accepting our imperfections and our story, why you'll never be completely free of shame, and why measuring yourself against the "good enough" standard is a distraction + waste of precious time.

Oprah calls today's guest the "Marriage Whisperer." Harville Hendrix is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Getting the Love You Want. It’s one of my favorite and most valued books of all time.  Harville Hendrix and his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt created Imago Relationship Therapy, a form of marriage therapy that takes a relationship approach rather than individual approach to problem solving in a marriage. However, even the "Marriage Whisperer" can have marital problems.  After years of marriage Harville and his wife Helen found themselves in the same situation as their clients - their relationship was in trouble and on the verge of divorce.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://howshereallydoesit.com/podcast/harville-hendrix-marriage-ww/

Today I'm breaking down my model of capacity + energy as a form of time management. Instead of feeling like a failure whenever I don't accomplish whatever my time block says, I keep track of my capacity + energy for coaching, self-care, swimming, and everything else. I talk about how to figure out what your capacity is, why you should accept where you are right now, and how to sustainably build your capacity over time. And I also share some of my experiences with feeling like I'm going to break my capacity, and what to do when that happens. Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/2wIcYt5

This summer, I’m rebroadcasting some of my favorite How She Really Does It episodes from earlier years of my show in a 12-week series called Wisdom Wednesdays. I’m bringing these twelve shows back to the surface for you so that they can bring a little bit of wisdom into your life each week (without you having to dig through 600+ episodes). In this episode, I interview the late Dr. David Hawkins. Dr. Hawkins was a nationally renowned psychiatrist, physician, researcher, and lecturer. He was also an internationally known spiritual teacher, author, and speaker on the subject of advanced spiritual states, consciousness research, and the Realization of the Presence of God as Self. In this episode, he and I discuss one of his best selling books Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior.

I don't do interviews much anymore, but sometimes I come across someone with a story that I think my audience just has to hear. That's exactly what happened with today's guest, Tembi Locke, when I read her memoir From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Home.  Tembi's story is one of courage, connection, loss, and grief. But more than anything, it's a story about the power of love to help us build bridges to other people and through difficult times.

I changed my story about money by learning how to manage my mindset.  In this episode, I'm sharing my story about money, shame, and how I realized that money was just a neutral - not good, or bad, or straight-up evil. I'm talking about why your relationship with yourself is the core of your relationship to money, how we pick up ideas from society that we don't really believe, and how to rehabilitate your relationship with money.
