2024-08-0550 minLet's Get IntentionalGiving yourself feedback: Can you truly look in the mirrorHow easy (or hard) is it to be honest with yourself?

I'm reflecting on alignment and talking about how we need to understand we don't reach alignment and stay in alignment. We might reach it one day and get thrown off course the next day.
Alignment isn't static. It's not a state we reach and stay in. It's a state we reach, re-reach and then reach again.
Do you believe the journey is linear? If so, it's time to rethink your path. This is not one single hill. This is about constantly recalibrating and adjusting.
Will you recalibrate this week, this month?

What if you stopped quitting? What if you just kept going? What if you kept going because your life depended on it? I have started and stopped on many occasions. It's hard to get restarted. This time I plan to not quit. What's my secret? Surrounding myself with people who are also on the same path. Don't start with an end goal in mind. Start with your future self in mind. Start with how you want to feel when you reach 50 or 60...

It is an action or intervention, it is an area where we wish to produce a particular effect. We can choose agency over many aspects of our lives but often we sit back and prefer not to act.

I met a woman while away who shared that the only voice she hears is her inner critic. She hadn't considered that there were other options. In this episode we explore commitments, accountability, community and inner critics.

Join me as I reflect on my own experiences with loss and how it impacted me. Grief is a process folks. It doesn't ever end. It changes over time. I recently heard a saying that struck me.

We need to be intentional about them (as with anything in o...
