S08|05 - Coming Back to Oneself: How to Grow Your Intuition
When we forget to listen to ourselves- when we tap into others’ wisdom and look outside of ourselves- we can often feel confused and overwhelmed. We get busy with many “good things” like reading books and finding the next podcast episode. Growing your intuition won’t come from reading another book- but rather, spending time BEING with yourself and in your body. Remembering your enough-ness. And remembering that you have wisdom inside of you. Divine wisdom. You are connected to a source of wisdom that’s unending- for every area of your life. You have the answers. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Come. Listen. Remember. In this episode you’ll hear: What a life without intuition looked like (you might relate to this story too) and how hustle, numbers and books made it worseWhat intuition did to change my entire life and way of being, from parenting to business and moreHow to tell if you’re in “not-enough-ness” in any area of your life and how to shift out of that (it’s not from the head space!) Keys that helped me tap into my intuition, that might help you too- and that don’t come from a book Powerful questions that will help you create more space physically and emotionally- today!!

S08|04 - How to Grow Abundance: The Power of Gratitude, and a How-To Meditation
Have you heard that gratitude is the new anti-aging serum? Me neither. BUT- it may be just that… it lowers blood pressure, helps with stress and so much more. How do we cultivate more gratitude and abundance, while calling in more abundance and wealth in our life? This episode will dig into my current money story and brain (who else gets squirmy talking about “big money?!”- you get a front row seat to my squirm today) and leave you with practical tips to increase your ability to receive and feel abundant. On this call we talk about: How gratitude is a “pill” for our health (blood pressure and stress release), life extender, happiness uplifter, community builder and more (link to articles here and here) Meditation to increase abundance and gratitudeHow my 50k per month goal was created in WAY less time than I thought (alongside my worries, doubts, and shame-brain… you get to hear it all!) Creating and speaking things into existence was inspired by episode 136 from my friend Amber (you can listen to it HERE our also listen to our episode together when she was on my podcast HERE). Manifestation and my money beliefs have been helped hugely by my current coach and mentor Jamie (find her podcast HERE and the episode I did with her HERE on my podcast).

S08|03 - The Inner and Outer Critic: How Not to Judge Those We Love
We all know the inner critic- that mean girl that can be SO loud sometimes in our brain… “you’re sure doing that weird!”, “you should be different”, “you really shouldn’t have said that”… ya feel me?! We all have it. What we might not have seen before is how it’s connected to our Outer Critic, driving our judgment and spreading shame all over the place. If you struggle with judging, and you don’t want to, this one is for you and me both my friend. In this episode we dig into: What the inner critic is and why it’s so strong sometimesWhat the outer critic sounds like ie.

If you're anything like me... you LOVE to achieve. Get gold stars and straight A's. Write down long and difficult to-do lists and feel a little jolt of satisfaction every time you cross another thing off that list. The problem with this is that we feel SUPER good when we achieve but really bad if we don’t. I would set myself some wildly impossible goals, and only allow myself to celebrate (aka feel good about myself) once I got there, but not until then. This wasn't happening consciously for me- but in the background of my brain. I was tying my SELF-WORTH to PRODUCTIVITY. Allowing myself love, support, and connection (from me) only IF I did "good" (worked towards my goal in the way I had previously decided). There wasn't much room for flexibility- just commitment, determination, and self-control... which looked a lot like "perfection" (and felt kind of terrible too). I was completely shocked when I started learning about things like FEMININE ENERGY, and INTUITION... and that resting, playing, and spending more time in my most important relationships helped me create my goals without the headache (and less time). Join me in this important mini-masterclass and meditation. I hope it brings you some hope and healing- and if you love it- join us in The Creation Room.Check out the CREATION ROOM HERE: create and achieve intuitive goals through learning more about feminine flow, self-trust, rest and leaning into manifestation and joy. --Coaching has changed my own life, and the lives of my clients.

Eli Harwood (Attachment Nerd) is a licensed therapist, author, and educator who has more than 17 years of experience helping people process relational traumas and develop secure attachment relationships with their children and partners. Eli has three children, one husband, one cat, and an extraordinary number of plants. Today’s episode covers: Why parenting in a different way than we were raised feels so hard to do (how to get through the stuck-ness)What it means to have a secure attachmentEntitlement and boundaries (how do you know if what you’re doing is working?)How to show compassion and love without being permissive or passiveTool for you to use today: setting up a community of support and focussing on physical needsWhat a world with securely attached people would look like, and why it would be so amazingCheck out the CREATION ROOM HERE: create and achieve intuitive goals through learning more about feminine flow, self-trust, rest and leaning into manifestation and joy. --Coaching has changed my own life, and the lives of my clients.
