Loving Leadership

My Final Episode | Namaste

I have deeply enjoyed creating bi-weekly podcast episodes and newsletters with you; exploring themes and practices together to discover what it truly means to live a life of connection to who and what we really are. This will be my last episode for LYP. I will no longer be sending out my bi-weekly newsletter and I will keep my website accessible for 2 more weeks before taking it down. The LYP Podcast is hosted by Spotify AB which is a free platform and therefore all of my past episodes will still be available for listening to as often as you’d like.  The next step for me on my journey has been to create The Living Legacy Project. Which aims to capture individual’s stories in their own voices. We help families create audio recordings of their loved ones to have for themselves and for future generations. If you are interested in learning more about The Living Legacy Project or sitting down with us for a Life Story Session for yourself or a family member, please reach out.

For being a part of this CoCreative journey we call life, it's been an absolute pleasure. -Namaste

Loving Leadership

In this week's episode we explore the mind layer and what it means to assume the role of "loving leader," both on and off our mats. Our mind loves to bounce all over the place, to collect information, to get lost in our sensory experiences. The mind becomes useful when we take on the role of “loving leader,” when we decide that to experience moments of calm, stillness, and clarity, we must guide our active minds back to our side again and again.

Acceptance

In this week's episode we explore the practice of acceptance. To accept who we are, what we are, where we are, what we have, isn’t about giving up, it’s choosing the path forward with a little less resistance, a little less judgement, and a little more allowing, a little more understanding, compassion, and grace for ourselves, for where we are in the process of growth.

I Am Allowed

In this week's episode we explore a concept we hear so often in yoga classes; allowing ourselves permission. Allowing ourselves permission becomes it's own practice in shifting the way we think and approach life. As we recognize our own authority and power to choose, we cultivate deeper acceptance, awareness, and trust in ourselves. We can reinforce this mindset shift both on and off our mats with the statement "I Am Allowed to..."

Make Peace

This week I invite you to make an intention to daily practice a self care activity. Yoga is wonderful but it doesn’t always have to be yoga, you can choose to mediate, go for a walk, or a swim, or do something creative. Just like the dishes, your body and emotions won’t go away, they need continual moments of release to keep things flowing. Self care activities allow the same exhale and sigh of satisfaction that comes from a beautiful and clean kitchen, ready for our next delightful meal. Welcome to The Edge Podcast.
