The Bluff Council PodcastTHE BLUFF COUNCIL PODCAST - Ep. 100 -There's Something About Mary & On Golden PondThe Bluff Council is turning 100 and just as you would expect, we are confused, cranky, and constantly screaming our thoughts into the void. In celebration of this momentous event, we are doing something special: two films in one episode! And what a natural pairing: "On Golden Pond," the 1981 classic starring Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn, and Jane Fonda, and that focuses on the challenges of aging, complex family dynamics, and a genuine fear of mortality, and "There's Something About Mary," the 1998 movie where Cameron Diaz smears c** in her hair. Oh, but it is so much more than just that...2024-01-291h 07

The Spiritual KnockoutWhen the vision pulls"Your pain will push you until your vision pulls" - Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith
A lot of people are saying 2020 didn't turn out the way we thought it would. But the idea of "2020 vision" and "clarity" that we started the year with hasn't been disproven... Think about it... much more clearly are we seeing the world now? the structures that we are dismantling... the new insight we have into what we hold dear and what makes us happy... it's all there. We are in the middle of a rebirth. The universe is constantly putting us in painful situations...2020-06-3009 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWhat's my next move?Now that the dust is beginning to settle we can see that the world and everything in it has changed. People have changed. Landscapes have changed. Rules have changed. Rights are, and will, be changing too. So for my entrepreneurs stepping back into their business are begging the question, "What's my next move?" Well dear, the same way we can see and feel change all around us, we need to look within our selves to see what has changed and how that shift will guide your next steps. Ask yourself, what is your "why?" Has it changed? Why did...2020-06-1605 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWorking at home or at home working?It feels like the finish line for quarantine keeps getting pushed back. Some of you might have started already, some of you might still be waiting for the green light, and some of you might be facing the reality that your workplace has forever changed. Businesses like Shopify for example have committed to remote work indefinitely. So as we realize that this may not be as temporary as we thought and business needs to push forward, let's take a second to talk about the dichotomy of working at home, and feeling at home working. How can you create the...2020-06-0806 minThe Spiritual KnockoutPut your guns downThis episode gets real with whats going on in the world in terms of inequality of everything. Vibration is where it begins. Today we clean the slate and I ask you to put your guns down.2020-06-0304 minThe Spiritual KnockoutImportanceWhen everything you're doing seems to carry the same weight of importance, it's hard to keep your priorities straight and feel that you're giving your all where it counts. Stop. Take stock of what tasks you're trying to complete in any given day or week and realize what things are REALLY important to you. What purpose is this task serving? Whether it be work, your kids, or your relationship, the important things deserve your uninterrupted attention. Don't spread yourself too thin or make promises that you can't keep. Make sure that the important people in your life understand that...2020-05-2606 minThe Spiritual KnockoutOn the cusp of greatnessGreatness isn't simply given. It doesn't fall into your lap. It may come at an unexpected time, but greatness is never fully realized until you take action. So if you're in the midst of a major energetic change will you know what to do? Can you recognize when greatness is upon you? If you can, do you know how you'll react? In this week's episode, I talk about the instinctual reactions people have to such major moments of up-leveling - flight, fight, and fear - and what happens when you sit in each. I know I have!2020-05-0507 minThe Spiritual KnockoutYour Shit Stuff and ThingsIt's storytime! This week's lesson is all about getting out of your own way and realizing when you're shit, stuff, and things are holding you back! Before I came into my own as the Spiritual Luxe I was an entrepreneur in other ways. I've always been a 'hustler' of sorts but I didn't always work for myself. It took some major self-growth before I was able to step out on my own and start my own business. In this week's episode, I'm sharing a little piece of my entrepreneurial journey with you; how I had to lose, and lose...2020-04-2818 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWhat is you're identity?This week I'm bringing you a bit of an interactive podcast. Since we have the time and space to reflect, I thought we should do just that. For all my entrepreneurial brothers and sisters, I ask, "who are you?" It's fascinating to see how people choose to identify themselves. The characteristics, qualities, and qualifications that come to mind when asked what makes you, you. So get out a pen and paper and following along with my quick little exercise this week and let's get down to business!2020-04-2105 minThe Spiritual KnockoutResponse-ableWe're over 3 weeks into quarantine and it's time to take responsibility for ourselves and our lives. Now that the panic has settled it's time to take back some ownership of our lives, our families, our relationships and our habits. Some of us have been pushing too hard, some of us haven't been pushing at all. Now that the initial shock as sunk in, I challenge you to re-evaluate what you are responsible for. What are the stuff and things that are coming at you? What do you need to be responding to? How are you responding to the situation...2020-04-1410 minThe Spiritual KnockoutF*ck it!It's trying times ladies and gentlemen. We're all going through it, literally. Some of us are reacting by meditating, some are re-learning relationships with their loved ones, some are relaxing and others - like me - are grinding their gears. This week is a friendly reminder that sometimes you can get TOO into your own shit. Sometimes you're pushing when you need to be following the cosmic pull. So how do you know when it's time to hustle and when it's time to say F*CK IT ALL!? Listen up to find out.2020-04-0708 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWelcome to the fifth dimensionToday is April 1st, 2020. It seems the world is under quarantine, but it's also a time of great cosmic shifting. We have been living in the 3rd dimension for quite some time and that's all changing right now. You can see it and feel it all around us. We're shifting from a time of ignoring things that were working unseen, below the surface, to having to deal with them as they've become exposed -right out there in the open. It's time to shed your old patterns of behavior, shift your perspective, and accept the new global frequency that is...2020-03-3117 minThe Spiritual KnockoutDistractionQuarantine is in full effect which means, for most of us, our daily routines and the structures we usually adhere to have been disrupted. We have entered a stage where we are essentially forced to let go of so many of the things we hold dear. However, if we choose to look at how this is impacting our spiritual, mental and emotional spaces, you'll notice we are also being forced to let go of the things that we have used as a distraction. For right now, the responsibilities, work, and chores that we typically use to help us run...2020-03-2409 minThe Spiritual KnockoutThe Journey Back HomeIn this time of global chaos, it can be frightening to tune-into the media. It's a balancing act between staying informed, discerning fact from hysteria, and maintaining your own sanity. So this week I want to shine a little light on my thoughts on the matter. Not in relation to politics, health care, or protocol, but rather taking on the perspective of how this global scenario is impacting our mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. How can we take this time of forced isolation and do what we can to seize this opportunity for re-alignment and returning to home...2020-03-1707 minThe Spiritual KnockoutThe Answer to EverythingI've done the research, read the books, and watched the movies, so I can say that I've finally figured out the answer to EVERYTHING. Are you ready? It's love. Every answer to every question ever can be answered with it. We need to start recognizing that love isn't necessarily a romantic relationship. Love is family, friends, partnership, and most importantly, love is how you view and treat yourself. This episode I talk about how to think about the; who, what, when, where, and why of love for any problem you may come across so you can find the answer...2020-03-1008 minThe Spiritual KnockoutLeaders Are ReadersThe year is still young which means you have ample time to form positive habits that will help you get on the right track for the rest of 2020. This week I'm talking about one habit I am very passionate about; feeding your mind through daily reading. Readers are leaders! I get some of the best new ideas, major breakthroughs, and creative inspiration from reading books from different genres, times and authors. It's so important to challenge your thinking by exploring different perspectives. As entrepreneurs, we tend to get so caught up in the business side of things; reading through c...2020-02-2507 minThe Spiritual KnockoutAre you running a business or building an empire?Are you running a business....or building an empire!? If you're not sure yet, it's time to figure it out. Grab a pen and paper and start writing my darling because I have some very important questions to help you think about yourself and your business on a grander scale. Are you seeing your business as something bigger than yourself and your team? Can you see where you fit in globally? What led you here? Why do you wake up every morning and do what you do? If you haven't asked yourself these questions yet, then it's time to...2020-02-1806 minThe Spiritual KnockoutAccessWho has an all-access pass to Y O U?! Think about it. It's been said that you are the sum of the 5 closest people to you. While I don't find that to be 100% true, the people you keep in your company DO directly impact your energy. They have the power to raise and lower your vibrations if you let them. With that in mind, this week I have an exercise for you. I want you to write out a list of these people. Not your favorite people, but the ones you are consistently surrounded by. The ones who you...2020-02-1107 minThe Spiritual KnockoutHow to celebrate your victories in silenceIn this age of social media, we've become pretty accustomed to seeing other's success: the awards, the accolades, the trips, money and stuff and things that come with it. But success doesn't happen overnight and often the biggest achievements are the ones that aren't so flashy and tangible. It's the inner work done. The changes in your habits. The plans made and followed through. As an entrepreneur, it takes a long time to see the kind of insta-worthy success that we are inundated with, but that doesn't mean that the small achievements along the way aren't worth celebrating in...2020-02-0407 minThe Spiritual KnockoutThe root of a decisionToday I'm diving into decisions. What does it mean to decide something? Well, if you break that word down it literally means to cut yourself off from any other possibility! That's some deep stuff, which is exactly why there's no half-assing a decision! It's a commitment. Reflect today on how many TRUE decisions you've made in your life where you knew that what you chose was EXACTLY what you wanted with no hesitation (and no your McDonald's order doesn't count girl!).2020-01-2804 minThe Spiritual Knockout1, 2, 3 Failure!This one is for all my fellow entrepreneurs out there! It's a tough path to travel, one that will knock you down and out over and over and over again. But if it's what you are completely in love with - trust me - it's worth it! I'm so excited this week to let you know it's not only okay but necessary and natural to fail in your business... until you don't! You need to fall in love with failure to succeed. The great thing is, failure is something you can ALWAYS learn from. Take the opportunity to survey...2020-01-2107 minThe Spiritual KnockoutSpiritual MomentumThis week is all about utilizing your momentum in your business. Personal momentum, success momentum, productivity momentum...These are all amazingly powerful forces when it comes to getting shit done! We often find we pick up momentum once we've already started to knock things off our to-do list and are in alignment with our goals. This is the sweet spot that you really want to capitalize on in order to push yourself and your business to the next level. This episode I'm sharing with you my 3 tips on how to keep and leverage your momentum to uplevel. It's not...2020-01-1407 minThe Spiritual KnockoutPatience is actionToday's podcast is all about the importance of patience. We've all heard the phrase "patience is a virtue" (pat on the back to all of you who have mastered the art of tolerance), but I want to shift your perspective to understanding patience as an action. A choice. It's one of the biggest lessons people need to learn about when trying to [ding-ding!] manifest! Sitting and easing your thought, your mind, and aligning your spirit rather than rushing or forcing things to happen. Patience is allowing inspired action to come to fruition. To all my fellow hustlers out there...2020-01-0704 minThe Spiritual KnockoutIt’s the end of an era!HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR! To all of my loyal listeners and lovely luxers I wanted to end this year off with a HUGE thank you for supporting me along my journey. You are my fuel and my motivation! With that, this episode is about closing the chapter on 2019 and entering a new DECADE with the right mindset. I'll be the first to say resolutions are B.S! Stop setting empty goals and start making full promises. Let's resolve our issues with the past and start manifesting a better future [spoiler alert manifesting is my theme for 2020] and I'm here to...2019-12-3106 minThe Spiritual KnockoutMy gift for you this holiday seasonChristmas is such a magical time of year. The alchemy of the universe really comes into play when we find those silent moments and recognize the little miracles popping up all around us. As a mother, a daughter, and someone who's job revolves around working through things with others, I'm blessed to see those little miracles and big steps happen right in front of me all the time. It recharges my soul and lights my fire! This year I'm so grateful to have been able to share my space and time with you in more ways than ever, and...2019-12-2408 minThe Spiritual KnockoutGoals!There are only a few days left, not only in this YEAR... but in this DECADE (cue major life realization and panic)! Are you ready for 2020? Just as I encourage you to set up your Mondays on Sundays, your next year starts NOW! I teach goal setting and productivity throughout the year (because setting life goals should not start and stop in January!) but the end of the year always provides a universal and energetic cue for us to mentally, emotionally and spiritually plan ahead. In this week's episode, I'm giving you a quick and dirty version of my c...2019-12-1111 minThe Spiritual KnockoutFear is holding on one second longer“Courage is fear holding on one *minute longer” one of my favourite quotes by George s. Patton (*correction from my podcast when I said Maya Angelou! Forgive me Maya I didn’t mean to misquote!) This is one of my favourite quotes and one I preach to all my clients. You always hear that it’s important to face your fears. I stand by that belief. The hard parts in life are the parts when you have the biggest opportunities for growth. But before you get to the point of facing your fears I believe it’s more important to underst...2019-12-0311 minThe Spiritual KnockoutHow to deal with traumaTragedy and trauma are part of the human experience. Some of us experience it more often than others, but to a degree, it's something we all must face at some point. As much as we want to protect ourselves, and our loved ones from the pain and damage of trauma, what's more, important than shielding ourselves is to learn how we can deal. Today I'm coming to you from a place of experience. I've been through my fair share of trauma in my life and I can tell you now, you can get through it. In today's podcast, I'm...2019-11-2610 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWho told you that?Throughout the journey of our lives, we are constantly learning and observing to pick up information. As children, we are taught to listen to our elders to learn from their wisdom. But it's important to separate facts from opinion. To be able to distinguish what beliefs about the world and about your life have been gathered by your own experiences and supported by your own opinions, and which ones others impressed upon you. In this week's episode, I am giving you some self-work to do. I want you to take a look at your life, and the beliefs you h...2019-11-1906 minThe Spiritual KnockoutMasculine and Feminine EnergyToday's episode is all about understanding and accepting our masculine and feminine energies. We all naturally have both sides to us. Some live a little more in one or the other, but different energies tend to take over different aspects of our lives. I tend to lean into my more aggressive, action-oriented masculine energy in business however, I love to dive into my divine feminine energy when I practice my spirituality. Both are strong in different ways. Feminine energy is all about the calm, flowing, soft strength. Masculine energy is about the focused, black and white, driven strength. This...2019-11-1210 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWe're all addictsAddiction is a scary word. It evokes extreme thoughts of hard drugs and alcohol - which are real addictions that real, and high functioning people can have without you even knowing - but it goes beyond those forms. People can be addicted to sex, social media, food, shopping, even working out. There are many forms of addiction, but what holds true for them all is that they are attached to some strong emotion. Many addicts I've worked with will describe a "numb" sensation when they satisfy their addiction. I've been there too, and I know how it feels. But...2019-11-0510 minThe Spiritual KnockoutGrowth can feel bat shit crazy!We have all had these moments. When you feel lost, confused... even crazy. Don't get lost in the struggle, where you can no longer see your path. These moments are normal and at times, necessary. If this sounds familiar, this episode is for you! But don't worry, it's all a part of this grand journey of growth. Your body might feel exhausted and your mind might feel cluttered but that's because your spirit and ego are locked in a battle and it's time for you to pick a side (hint: the answer is almost always spirit!). You need to...2019-10-2926 minThe Spiritual KnockoutWhat to take from your toxic relationshipsNo matter how small you keep your circles, or how happy you are in your most intimate relationships, each and every one of us has encountered a toxic relationship. A toxic relationship is one that will drain you, hurt you and keep you in a loop of negativity for some time. As important as it is for you to successfully make it out of these relationships, what's almost more important is what you do while you're in them. We experience toxic relationships for a reason. Whether it be your co-worker, friend, peer, parents, siblings, or partners. These experiences come...2019-10-2315 minThe Spiritual KnockoutIntoxicating relationshipsLook back on your past relationships, and I don't just mean your most recent ex. I'm talking about your parents, your grandparents and any other role models you might have had in your early years. That's right we're going WAY back. Whether you realize it or not, the early relationships we observer affect the way we experience love, intimacy, and compassion. It's all about those patterns of behavior that are instilled in us by what we absorb. Think about that for a second and realize that change starts with you. Are you in a relationship that is a positive influence o...2019-10-1610 minThe Spiritual KnockoutTake a look at youWe all have vices and habits that aren't serving us. Behaviors that we picked up along our life journeys that we may want to change. When was the last time you took the time to really look inward at yourself and ask the hard questions? If it's been a while then I want you to listen up! Don't be afraid to confront the scary parts. The confusing habits of behaviours that you are tied to but want to let go of because guess what?... You can! This week I'm challenging you to challenge yourself. Give this episode a listen...2019-10-0806 minThe Spiritual KnockoutLEAN INWhen feelings and emotions come up repeatedly and throw you off your game. What do you do to fix it?

Lean in.2019-10-0207 minThe Spiritual KnockoutLiving on AutopilotWe've all heard about people living on autopilot, and at some point in your life, I'm sure you've done it too. Living on autopilot is when you're not present mentally, or emotionally, but physically life goes on. You still go to work, you still take care of the kids, maybe you even go to the gym. But while that body is moving, your head is elsewhere. A lot of people try to tell you to snap out of autopilot, to escape the mundanity of following routines, BUT in reality, sometimes it's that autopilot that can help us get through...2019-09-2407 minThe Spiritual KnockoutAlignment Vs. HustleAre you working on that daily grind and really putting in the effort but still not feeling the results? You can't be at the top of your game if you're not in complete alignment within yourself. Before hustle comes alignment! It's a formula you need to remember next time you're feeling stuck. It's time to check yo' self before you wreck yo' self! Monthly, weekly, maybe even daily check-ins could be the key to unlocking your ability to manifesting your goals. Practice feeling that downtime, relaxing, understanding what your mind and body needs. If you're not sure what that...2019-09-163h 53
The Spiritual KnockoutEmbrace selfishnessThis week I'm about to redefine the word "selfish" as you know it. We're raised to think it's this evil attitude that gives us an excuse to take away from others, but oh no honey! I want you to change your perspective and see how selfishness can be an empowering tool to start putting yourself FIRST. We're so afraid to be called selfish that we place everyone else above our own needs and desires. Starting today I want you to take that word back and give to yourself, make sure your happy, aligned and energized. Remember, there's a reason t...2019-09-1110 minThe Spiritual KnockoutThe Spiritual Knockout with Katherine Macri - Episode 5Adversity - Todays episode is on adversity.
