Getting personal today, but if you have ever felt insecure, aka if you are a human you will be able to relate. I felt insecure recently, not because of anyone else, but because of my own underlying thoughts. Then I did an experiment and let this emotion wash over me and here is what I learned. If you want to learn how to work through emotions without avoiding, buffering or feeling ashamed of yourself learn how to get coached by me in the show notes for episode 25 here: www.AliveWithPurposeCoaching   

I wanted to save this last listener question for its own episode because so many people struggle with choosing their life path. It could be anything from where to live, your career, picking a partner or deciding to have children or not. If you think you are at a fork in the road and don't know how to choose, don't miss this episode.

I work mainly with one-on-one clients and small groups as a coach. However, a big goal of mine is to help as many people as possible learn the power of managing their minds. Because of that I like to offer all sorts of free things (like this podcast) and last week I put out the call to all of you to send me a problem or issue you are dealing with and I would coach you. Today, I answered some questions about dealing with a child's feeling about spending time with her dad and a yoga teacher's relationship with a client who shows up late, doesn't accept help and is disruptive in class.

Today it's all about how to recalibrate after you lose it. I created a whole lot of drama after a road incident. Luckily, I was able to coach myself out of near mania and into a space where now I not only have compassion for the other person in the situation but I also have compassion for myself (despite how I felt about my reaction). If you ever feel out of control or like drama just "finds you" do not miss this episode. PLUS, I am now taking a handful of 1:1 clients.

Mom's put pressure on themselves in many ways. In this episode I share how my own feelings of guilt prevented me from enjoying my own space and how a coaching session has helped me begin to deal with it. This episode is all about seeing feelings of guilt and thoughts like "I should be doing more with my kids" might not be as sweet and lovely as you think.

Some of our thoughts are clearly a blockage to achieving goals. "I can't do it" "I have never done this before and I am going to fail" Those are very obvious, unhelpful thoughts. However, in my mind the thought that is a real dream killer, at first sounds reasonable but I promise you it's a brutal one. That thought is: "I am too busy" Today we stop wearing "busy" like a badge of honour and see it for what it is...an excuse.

Being 'Alive with Purpose' to me means that I want to use my time and energy to do something wonderful in the world. If you are spiritually open to the idea that our lives are meaningful, that also has probably led you to some kind of self-awareness practice. It might be yoga, meditation, working with a Life Coach, but many of us make the time to learn about our habits but don't take these insights far enough. Today is all about how to use self-awareness not to beat yourself up or get overwhelmed by things you think of as "flaws" but how to use your hard won insights to your advantage.

Fear and anxiety are part of the human experience. But our reaction to these "states of being" is often trying to resist or deny these emotions OR reacting to them in ways that are not helpful in fulfilling our life's purpose. In part two of my conversation with spiritual teacher Jeff Carreira, we discuss how to be free within our experiences of fear and anxiety. He offers you some very practical ideas for what to do during times when we feel contracted and we talk about how you can shift from fear and anxiety to a new perspective using my story of going through a personal health crisis.
