CONNECTION.

We are hard wired for it biologically. Our bodies NEED it or we get sick + slowly die.

We are soft wired for it emotionally and spiritually. We’ve seen the mental health effects of isolation.

We crave to be seen, loved, appreciated, trusted and respected. 

We desire to be wanted and understood by others. 

It's IN us to love well and lead well.

It doesn’t matter if you are a CEO running a multimillion dollar company or a stay at home parent, we simply can not connect to anyone in honest, intimate and inspiring ways until we connect with ourselves authentically.

Connection heals our wounds, awakens our souls, and invites us into our most authentic, courageous, and integrated selves.

Today I am joined by Karen Hardwick,  psychotherapist turned leadership consultant with a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and author of “The Connected Leader” and we are talking about the Art of Connection + how to overcome the...

How do we begin to heal, restore and rebuild trust after it’s been broken?

Perhaps there's been an affair, emotional or physical cheating, or trust has been broken in other ways:  confidentiality was broken, financial mistakes swept under the rug, lack of follow through on empty promises. Lots of words and no action to back it up.

Nothing feels more painful, confusing and disheartening at the moment.

Anytime we enter into an agreement with someone,  it often comes with a whole set of unspoken expectations and hopes of how things are going to be, and when they don’t go according to plan, we become shattered. Regardless of our story, we know that if we don't honor and heal the pain of the past, those wounds will remain open and we will inevitably end repeating those patterns over and over again. 

In today’s episode I am breaking it down into two sections:

Part one is for the person that broke the trust. 

• What does Radial Ownership look and sound...

Today we are celebrating ONE full year of the UNTAMED LIFE podcast and I am diving into the SPECIFIC things I believe PUT US into the place of Abundance, Overflow and Alignment.

That’s correct. We get PUT THERE. And how we got PUT there is by setting down our own agenda and  getting OUT of the way.

Just over a year ago I felt the call on my heart to create this podcast and to not hesitate! At the time I felt highly unqualified and wasn't even sure what the format would end up being. Yet - here we are celebrating 52 consecutive weeks of recording and releasing episodes without a single blip or break! That’s some massive progress on so many levels.

MOST of my life I have resisted consistency + commitment in the name of “freedom” and flexibility and yet the journey proves that when we move and swap our self serving hearts for ones of deep service - we enter the space of ULTIMATE FREEDOM.

What is paradoxical is that living IN the space of ultimate freedom...

What to DO when nothing is working....

Feeling Stuck, Stalled or Contracting? How do you tap back into Momentum and get back into the FLOW again?

We all hit those spots - Where all of a sudden, it feels like nothing you are doing is working right & what always used to work to get results, is no longer working. In fact, it may even be causing more problems than anything. What gives?

I believe this is the exact moment we are on the cusp of a breakthrough or upgrade and the way through it without breaking everything down is to move into the space of momentum where things are flowing naturally, vs being forced.

In today's episode I am talking about the KEY areas where we get stuck and HOW to move past them:

• How to move beyond frustration and discouragement
• How to open up energy when you are feeling drained/exhausted
• How to lighten the load when you are feeling burdened - heavy, weighed down
• The ONE fast thing I do to clean things up and set myself up to MOVE Forward
• The...

How do you KNOW what kind of King, Queen, LEADER you truly are?

HOW do we determine if we are succeeding or running this thing, this marriage, this company - off the rails?

I believe as leaders The ripple effect of our influence will have an impact on generations to come. 

It’s easy to view ourselves through both rose coloured, delusional glasses - in complete denial about what we are actually leaving as a legacy…

or  through really harsh ones where it feels like we can’t seem to do anything right.

Good, bad and everything in between - you are leaving a MARK on others and you have influence right now. The question then becomes - what INFLUENCE am I having on others?

Simply put the TEST is this:  What is LIFE like for the people we have been entrusted with?

Is your kingdom thriving or struggling right now?

We have all been entrusted with some kind of kingdom - no matter how ‘big’ or ‘small’ it may seem in your eyes. Big and...

It’s a dangerous place to be. 

That place where you begin to notice you have lost your inner fire, your vision suddenly becomes blurry, your thoughts unfocused, and you are tired - exhausted.

You are tired from fighting constant battles, tired from putting out one fire after another, reacting to everyone and everything around you instead of LEADING with conviction, clarity and certainty. 

It’s a dangerous place to be when you forget your REASONS to fight FOR something better - for yourself, for your children, your family, your future generations - and you start fighting for all the wrong reasons. 

If we don’t learn to fight FOR the RIGHT reasons, we will eventually pass on the responsibility of breaking the chains of the past, healing generations of pain and wounding and installing NEW standards for what life gets to look like - onto someone else. 

In today's show we are talking about

• REMEMBERING what the fight is actually FOR 
• RECLAIMING...

Are you struggling to FEEL the love inside your relationship? 

Have you ever found yourself saying “Clearly you don't love me because you said this, or you did that!” 

How many times do we throw these daggers at each other? 

How many times do we allow ourselves to confuse someone else's behavior with our identity or worth?

How many times have we operated from a distorted view of what love actually IS?

I spent years of my life feeling terrible inside of relationships because I didn’t have an understanding of what love actually was. I had an idea. I had expectations. I had illusions I was holding on to. But I did not UNDERSTAND love, let alone loving behavior. 

Everything changed for me when I came back to the true power of LOVE. It was here that I learned the places I was out of integrity + the ingredients that were missing all along. 

In todays episode we unpack:

• Is LOVE enough inside relationships?
• What are the missing ingredients to...

Do you have a clear VISION for yourself and as a couple?

Today. I am joined by one of my favorite humans on the planet, my husband, Mark. We are here to celebrate with you guys and share a personal story of our most recent UPLEVEL as a couple!  

Welcome to Project GRAVITAS! 

We just merged two homes and this has been a monumental step for us. Today we are sharing our vision with you, and with that, some of the insecurities, the doubts and the fears that showed up IN the process. 

Whenever you're expanding, moving into new seasons, growing as a couple or individually - there is going to be some ‘turbulence’ along the way.

We had to come to a place where we would both ditch our personal agendas and lead with the intention to be open to God surprising us, leading us, and being open to receive more than we imagined possible - while completely...
