Grief is meant to be a contained experience, not a life long process. The major pain needs to be felt and released instead of identified with. In this episode, I talk about grief, how to keep it contained, and what the process can look like when awareness is brought to it and it is better understood.  If you enjoy this episode, please consider sharing, liking, and subscribing.

We get taught to let the outside world affect us, whether it needs to or not. It is one of my missions in life to help stop this cycle of permanent unhappiness that people are in because they cannot disconnect from the chaos around them. In this episode, I'm showing you how to begin to disconnect from some of the chaos around you without blocking everything out or never caring about anything or anyone again. What I'm showing you is that disconnecting doesn't mean not caring, it just means we show we care differently. Come have a listen to learn more.

Biology is the body parts you're born with. Gender identity is how you dress up the body. The two are not nor should they ever be connected to each other.  Listen in as I talk about these concepts and why they need to be separate from each other.

Today was kind of a catch-up episode talking about all the things that have shifted in the last couple of weeks and where that's led me. it's been a fascinating journey that as always, I love to share with you in as many ways as I can. The whole point of all this is to give you permission to shift. It's okay to change it up and do your own thing. Allow your life to change around you. You'll be so surprised what happens when you do that and you'll find it's not nearly as scary as your brain would have you believe. The world does not fall apart when you change things, it actually comes together beautifully. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and subscribe. It would help me tremendously.

Self-love was a by-product of a bigger healing journey for me on this path. Healing was a survival mechanism for me at the time. It was a means to an end. I had external goals and I understood that healing would get me those goals, so I did it. If self-love had been my first goal, I probably wouldn't have bothered healing because I would have seen it as a sidetrack or a distraction. If self-love is an issue for you listen in and let me know what you think. Don't forget to like, share, and, subscribe. It helps my little podcast immensely!

I'm working through some doubt that's come up in the last few days and it's giving me a hard time. The doubt is coming up around a new cycle in my life that is trying to come in. I'm unsure of the future like everybody else, and it's creating some doubt around whether I can trust this new experience or not. Am I okay on my own? Can I take responsibility for myself?

Hopelessness. We all feel this at some point in our lives, some more deeply than others. Do you feel hopeless? If you do take heart and have a listen to this episode. I've been in a feeling of hopelessness for many years because of repeated failure due to karmic cycles I hadn't broken yet. After breaking those cycles, I continued to hang onto the hopeless, which continued to perpetuate the cycle. I spent the last few days understanding myself and the hopelessness I felt and now I'm sharing what I've learned from that experience. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and subscribe. It would help my little podcast greatly! For more information on this podcast, please visit spiritualityunpacked.com.

The argument we have with ourselves looks like fear, insecurity, doubt, worry about other people, not giving ourselves permission, and complaining about the problem with it. We focus far too much on what's wrong with what we want to do instead of just allowing ourselves to do it. In this episode, we talk all about the argument and the fear and how to get the heck out of that so that we can move on with our lives. This is all about allowing ourselves to be happy and be okay in our lives. You get to do that for yourself and you don't need permission to do it. Please like, share, and subscribe to this podcast from whatever your favorite platform is. It really does help me out a lot!

I'm in a transition. My name has changed. You're not losing it. You didn't miss anything. The branding got an update and so did the intro and outro. I hope you enjoy them! In this episode, I'm explaining what's going on and why. I'm also hopefully giving you permission to free yourself to be who you are as well. My goal is to be as authentic and real with you as I can and this is part of it. So, come along with me on my journey with a new identity and let me know what you think.

Today I wanted to share my experience of playing in that proverbial mud puddle. What happens when we find ourselves mad, upset, and frustrated with the journey? What do we do when we feel like we're stuck in a loop and unable to get out? Listen in to find out how I handled that yesterday and gain some clarity on how you can handle it for yourself. You don't have to stay stuck. Don't unpack and live there. It's okay to hang out temporarily, but recognize that you're just moving through and allow yourself to do that.
