Be Sure To Do This When Setting Intentions
In the final episode for 2022 and as we head into that time where new intentions are set, please, listen to today's episode before you get busy setting new goals and intentions. The more I do this work, the more it becomes obvious that a greater force, far greater than my little human ego self, is asking me to surrender more into the unknown and trust it. That in surrender, a certain space is created for deeper parts of us to speak to us, sharing with us matters that matter deeply. I get it isn't easy to hand over your life to an invisible force, but as time as passed I can see that I previously I have tried to control too many outcomes, set goals from my ego and haven't left space for my heart to speak. As this has shifted, what I've needed, not wanted, has come to fruition.I hope you enjoy the final episode for 2022.

2022 Reflections
I set a theme at the beginning of each year and for 2022 it was, flourish.In my little human mind I had it all mapped and planned out, thinking, "bam, I'm gonna flourish from the get go!" Well, if you've listened to this episode at the beginning of the year, you'll know that I was quickly sat back down by the Universe and how quickly that plan went out the window. This year I have flourished but in ways I originally didn't intend. Something deeper took over and I learned a heck of a lot. Today's episode are my reflections and learnings from the year, plus four questions to ask yourself to reflect on the year that's been. I hope you enjoy.THE LEGENDS COACHING PROGRAMThe Legends - Check it out here! 20 spaces for 20 women.

When You Act On Assumptions
In October I wrote my journal, "stop holding them in a particular shape. Stop bracing yourself for how think they are going to be. Release them from the shape you're holding them in. Instead, meet them where they're at." This was after I noticed that I was basing my behaviour on how I thought certain people in my life were going to behave. I was going into my, well they always act that way, so because they're like that, I'm going to be like this! It kept me in a low vibe dysfunctional pattern, assumption land and gave no space for anyone to be anything other than what I perceived them to be.More on this in today's episode.

How Do You Resolve Inner Conflict?
We all have choice to deal with inner conflict and pain in powerful ways; with integrity. It takes consciousness and presence which can be hard at times, but it is possible.What makes it difficult is the surge of emotions that stir throughout the body when someone or something touches a wound. When we don't know how to slow this process down, we resolve the pain and inner conflict in less than helpful ways. Handling conflict with integrity means you choose not to respond from yourpain. This means we spray less of our own hurt onto others, the world or ourselves and take greater self responsibility. THE LEGENDS COACHING PROGRAMThe Legends - Check it out here! 20 spaces for 20 women.

Whose Mountain Are You Climbing?
Are the mountains, aka goals, you're climbing, yours? Or are they what you think you have to climb in order to feel more worthy, more enough, more important or more whatever? Or are they societal mountains that you've adopted as you're own, only to make your way to the top and ask yourself, "is this really what I want?"Today's episode will have you take a step back and ask the question, "are the mountains I'm climbing mine? If not, whose are they? Are they ego driven or heart driven?"Have a pen and journal with you to note the questions down and give yourself some space to answer them.THE LEGENDS COACHING PROGRAMThe Legends - Check it out here! 20 spaces for 20 women.

Discomfort With True Space And Time
Do you find yourself wanting more space and more time to breathe, to be, to ponder and do as you please? Do you also find that when you have that space and time to do as you please, there's a part of you that resists it, finds it uncomfortable wishes you'd never created space in the first place? If so, then welcome to the, "I live with two opposing forces in me Club that seek different things!" In today's epidise I share how my current coaching clients and I were only recently discussing this and how their ego's find space difficult, because it allows them to ask themselves deeper questions and have greater connection to themselves.

Such Is Life
Well, one week has gone by and my beautiful Grandfather passed. The night before he left this world I got to sit with him, kiss his forehead and tell him, "I love you." A precious moment I'll forever cherish.Amidst the McFlurry of emotions this past week, there have been some incredible experiences that have brought joy and juice to my heart. That really is life isn't it - one moment it can rip open your heart and the next it can fill it with love. That's how the last 7-days have felt; the human experience in full flight! Such is life.UPCOMING LIVE EVENTSSunday Meds - Get your tickets here! Sunday November 13th!

Rushing To “Feel Better”
I'm watching my ego as it tries to "make things better" as I currently experience the emotion of sadness and feeling of anxiety. The sadness is linked to my Pop being palliative and the anxiety is linked to family tension and dynamics. Both situations are linked to uncertainty. How long do we have Pop for? How long will the family dynamics be tense? To try and ease the discomfort in not knowing, my ego is looking to feel better, faster. This means skipping over how I currently feel which will eventually lead to being overcome with feelings it's trying to run away from and appease. Today's podcast shares how I am being WITH sadness and anxiety, rather than rushing to feel better or being swamped by the feelings. A fine dance, that's for sure.UPCOMING LIVE EVENTSSunday Meds - Get your tickets here! Sunday November 13th!

When Enough Is Actually Enough
I had a great realisation about a week ago when I saw my Kinesiologist, Elena Pilch. The way I have chosen to live my life, the space, the time, the choice of how I work, who I work with, etc is enough. The way I used to work was more hectic, leading to burnout, and my ego believed that when we hit burnout, THEN we've done enough!So the past pattern was, "work until you're flatlined, because ONLY when you're on your knees with zero juice and life-force can you say you've worked your ass off and proved your worth!" Hands up how many of you do that?Today's podcast shares more on this. Enjoy. UPCOMING LIVE EVENTSSunday Meds - Get your tickets here! Sunday November 13th!

When The Worst Thing Turned Into The Best Thing
Before every ZEROFKS dance party, the dream I have the night before is that the sound system fails. Each event it’s never bombed out, but at the last event, it did.Mid dancing our assess off, the power went out — no lights, no music, 250 sweaty legends in a room. Ahhh, the dream (nightmare) came true.Within a matter of a minute Nicole — @theartisanssolutions was up on stage. A woman I’d never met until last night, standing in front of everyone creating a magical moment where the whole room started singing acapella to whatever song she started singing. Her dear friend @jessicaroberts_official nudged her to get up and buy us time until we got the system working again. What a friend!The deep fear I had turned into one of the best ZEROFKS memories where the definition of community came to life! Still blown away from this moment. Nicole and Jess, you’re my hero’s.
