Why You React Before You Think and How to Stop — A 2-Step Process

We all have trouble thinking before we speak and act. We want to be present and flow, but we also want to be careful and thoughtful of what we do.  So how do we think before we act and still be present? How do we stop impulsive behavior, giving into addiction and addictive urges, and reacting from anger or losing our temper? Why do we sometimes say something we don't mean, act impulsively, or hurt others unintentionally? And most importantly, how can we become aligned in our words, thoughts and actions so that we no longer have to watch we say and do? In this podcast, I share a simple but powerful 2-step process for maintaining our presence, our wisdom, and our peace and clarity so that we can always act in the most skilled and beneficial way that leads to longterm peace and wellbeing for ourself and our loved ones.

How to Let Go of People Who Left (and Those You Must Leave)

One of the hardest times in anyone's life is when we lose someone who is still alive. Perhaps they cut us off, perhaps we cut them off, or perhaps it was mutual. But either way, the pain, regret, blame, and open wound of hope make this type of loss particularly difficult. There are countless books written about grief. When someone we love passes, friends and family offer their support. But when we lose the living, we often suffer alone. Taking time to grieve seems strange and futile. So what can we do when a hole is left in our heart by someone who still walks this earth? In this podcast, I share my own personal stories of family estrangement and family separation, abandonment and betrayal. I talk about what helped me get out of the darkest place of my life. I discuss the lessons I learned, what I wish someone had told me, and the healing that is possible.
