Episode 16: Dropping Highly Manipulative People

Episode 18: Dropping the Armor that Blocks True Surrender

In this episode of EvesDropping, Emily and Meg dive deep into the spiritual practice of surrender—and what it really means to advocate for yourself when you're in the thick of struggle. We explore how to let go without giving up, and how to recognize the subtle ways we grip, brace, and resist life through our bodies, minds, and expectations. Together, we unpack the concept of God consciousness within us, not outside of us, and what it means to co-create with the universe from a place of trust rather than force. This episode is for anyone who’s ever tried to will something into being and ended up exhausted—or wondered what it would feel like to open up to possibility instead. We talk about the shift from “I have to make this happen” to “I am willing to see this differently.” We also offer 5 principles of self-advocacy to support you in reclaiming your voice, even when you’re walking through the unknown. Inside the episode: • What it means to drop the armor and soften into truth • Recognizing resistance in your body as a sacred signal • Reconnecting with your body’s intelligence • The role of faith in co-creation and how quantum physics mirrors this • Moving from control to conscious participation with the universe • How to ask, “What truth is here for me?” when life feels heavy This one’s an invitation into deep trust. Not blind trust—but embodied, courageous, truth-rooted surrender. Come listen in with us. ***Original Art by Meg Miller***

Episode 15: Dropping the External Definition of You

Discover Who You REALLY Are - From The Inside Out Emily and Meg invite Hannah, a Quantum Human Design Specialist (birthingmybeing.com [http://birthingmybeing.com/]) to help us all on our quest for self-discovery. Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science to help you understand the power and beauty of who you truly are. It provides particular insight into your gifts, vulnerabilities, personality, life themes, psychology, and health. Human Design teaches us to live authentically according to the energetic blueprint we were given at birth. “This is an INSIDE OUT modality. It is not just another self-help tool, it’s more deep. It makes us go within. These characteristics are already in you, so how do we enhance them?” “Human Design is different than all the oversaturated self-help out there because self-help still requires you to go outside yourself for the answers. With Human Design, you go inward.” “For more flow and less frustration, the big key is getting people attuned to their own inner awareness and then using that information to work with the outer reality.” Original Art by Meg Miller For further exploration, we loved the book: Introduction to Quantum Human Design 3rd Edition by Karen Curry Parker [https://www.amazon.com/Karen-Curry-Parker/e/B008TVDTP0/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1] #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts  #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #denverpodcast #self #selfdiscovery #whoareyou #insideout #relatable #podcast #funnypodcast #bingeworthy #bingeworthypodcast #you #humandesign #authenticity #selflove #speakyourtruth #authenticself #humandesignpodcast #grlpwrden #birthingmybeing #humandesignreading

Episode 14: Dropping the Dance of Being Nice

Are You Behaving in Ways that Are Getting You the Opposite of What You Are Seeking? Emily defines assertive communication as self-advocacy. Meg defines her communication style as the clarity and honesty that begins internally so she can be more steady in stating her needs. They offer how they work with each of their styles and explore “mean girl” culture, how to get attuned to ourselves first, and how not to get triggered in our responses. “If you don’t talk about it, your behavior will show it.” “How do we emotionally manipulate to get what we want in passive-aggressive ways?” “There are energetics and tensions people can feel behind your communication.” “How much is my responsibility in this conversation?” “What is the difference between choosing versus feeling compelled as an obligation?” “Am I doing this from a place of worth instead of having to prove, defend, or beg instead of connection, attunement, or mutuality?” “With increased clarity and simplicity comes confident authenticity.” “The simplicity comes when you stop focusing on analyzing their behavior and putt it back on aligning with your values.” “Keeping the peace doesn’t work because we suppress our needs to play nice.” “Are these MY facts or THE facts? What am I making this mean?” “Our minds can easily make up a victim/villain story and then offer up ‘fake conviction’ with blame.” “Good communication asks a question instead of assuming. It comes from a space of curiosity instead of blame.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: @MarkManson For further exploration, we loved this book: Crucial Conversations by Joseph Grenny [https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Grenny/e/B00BCO0FQ2/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1], Ron McMillan [https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2?ie=UTF8&field-author=Ron+McMillan&text=Ron+McMillan&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books], Al Switzler [https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_3?ie=UTF8&field-author=Al+Switzler&text=Al+Switzler&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books], Kerry Patterson [https://www.amazon.com/Kerry-Patterson/e/B001H6IU6C/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_4], & Laura Roppe [https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_5?ie=UTF8&field-author=Laura+Roppe&text=Laura+Roppe&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books]   #vulnerability #gratitude  #empowered #sweetrevenge #surrender #youareworthy  #surrender #crucialconversations  #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts  #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #meangirl  #emotionallabor  #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #denver #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior  #useyourgifts [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/useyourgifts/] #youaremorethanyouthink [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/youaremorethanyouthink/] #thinkingofyou [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/thinkingofyou/]   #trust  #spreadinglove [https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/spreadinglove/]    #motivationeveryday   #startyourevolutionbaby
