Episode 14: Learn to Ride the Waves of Emotions: mini-intro to the book Emotional Agility by Susan David, PhD

In the mini-episode I explore a few of the intro concepts in the book, Emotional Agility [https://www.susandavid.com/about-the-book/] by Susan David PhD. I challenge you to explore how you can get quiet and practice the 4 processes of emotional agility that she writes about in Chapter 1. I invite you to imagine what life would be like if you only did the actions that led you to be the "you" you want to be! What would life be like if you weren't escaping, numbing, or ignoring the valuable information our emotions provide? Let me know your thoughts after listening!

Episode 12: Cultivating the Gift of Self-Compassion

Have you ever noticed that you might just be, "your own worst enemy?" Over the last few weeks, more and more of my clients have said this very phrase, giving me pause and diving into more resources on self-compassion.  I've discovered the amazing work of Tara Brach, and her RAIN meditation practice that I share in this episode and you can learn more about here. [https://www.tarabrach.com/rain/]  In this episode I also briefly mention Dr. Kristin Neff and her incredible work on self-compassion that you can check out here.  [https://self-compassion.org/] For more about me and the coaching work I do, you can check out my coaching website, Joan Young Health Coach.  [https://joanyounghealthcoach.com/] As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode and what you'd like me to highlight in future episodes!

Episode 11: Strengthsfest with Liz Goulding, NBC-HWC

What happens when two coaches who work with strengths get together? It's a strengthsfest! We end up coaching each other, talking about motivation and much more!  We also talk a lot about the nuances and intentionality of using strengths to be our best selves! Actually, Liz Goulding is an incredible coach who works with a framework called Strengths Profile; she coached me through mine, helping me make a lot of sense out of the parts of me that are important and work well! And, she helped me recognize the parts that don't bring me light and life, which is critical information too.  You can find out more about working with Liz and sign up for her amazing newsletter/emails on her website [https://www.alongsideliz.com/].

Episode 10: Embracing the Gray: a Key to Flourishing

As humans, we crave certainty, and this need to be sure leads us to black and white thinking in a world where many answers lie in the gray. How can we live with less stress and more joy? I believe that it's by building the belief and confidence in ourselves that we can handle uncertainty and navigate any challenges that come our way.  In this mini-episode I talk about how we can normalize the gray, find strategies through our strengths, and explore mindfulness practices like tapping, described here on this free site, The Tapping Solution.  [https://www.thetappingsolution.com/] As always, I welcome and appreciate your feedback!
