S3E1: A Year of Something Amazing

You might need a bigger jar. Have you ever heard of the Something Amazing Jar experiment? I learned about it last January and did it for the year. The results were eye-opening. In today’s episode, we talk about a way to view our lives that just might illuminate parts of us we weren’t aware of. Instead of looking at goals and resolutions, how about being on the lookout for the good or amazing in our everyday lives? Join me as I share what I learned from doing the Something Amazing Jar experiment for a year. You might find out how you can tap into what is good - or even amazing - in your own life.

S2E17: Perfection is the Enemy of the Good

“Perfection is the enemy of the good” – we’ve heard this phrase around. Attributed to French writer Voltaire and from a French proverb - l'ennemi du bien est le bien – it reminds us about how we can trip up if we get bogged down with thoughts of perfection – so much so it can stop us in our tracks. In today’s episode, we talk about perfection. We talk about mistakes, making decisions, and doing it anyway. Maybe this story will help you see where you are letting perfection be the enemy of the good in your life. In Conscious Motion is a reader-supported publication.

S2E16: Being Real

What does it mean to be real? We often mean being authentic. But how do we be our authentic selves in a world that seems to celebrate us wearing a mask? How do we BE in the world, with our messy stories and not overwhelm others? Brené Brown offers insight in her book Rising Strong about how we can access the stories we have, deal with our emotions, and embrace vulnerability through a simple concept called curiosity. Listen how an encounter brought out questions of what we need in relationship to be vulnerable. In Conscious Motion is a reader-supported publication.
