    Powerback 203: Increase your capacity to receive

    Powerback 203: Increase your capacity to receive

    Today, we are digging into the topic of receiving. As a very strong-willed person who is typically the one that everyone else goes to switching over to being a receiver versus always being a giver, doesn't always come quite so naturally.

    So, in this Powerback® episode, I'm going to share with you a couple of different ways that you can start to increase that capacity so that you can start to receive. Look, I'm not telling you to stop helping people, I'm suggesting that perhaps you start to help yourself first.

    We’ll go through:
    A time when I caught myself about to turn down some assistanceWhat receiving means in the first placeWhat stopping and minimizing looks likeWhy receiving can be so hard with a mindfuckery twist3 simple steps to increase your capacity to receive

    Powerback 202: 5 Witchy methods I use to connect + expand with

    Powerback 202: 5 Witchy methods I use to connect + expand with

    I am a girl of the earth and of the universe. When I learned that these are parts of who I am and that they actually really helped me not just to connect with myself, to get more grounded, and to get more centered, but these methods also helped me find clarity, peace, and solitude.

    I get that there might be ways to do certain things. But just like I teach you in just about every topic and aspect, there's no right or wrong way to do something when it is fully in alignment with you.

    So, my goal today is to share some of the things that I have found to be really supportive for me and maybe that will inspire you to find something that works for you as well.

    The methods that I'm going to share with you in this Powerback® episode have been an incredibly simple yet profound way that I've been able to manage and tap into both of those things.

    We’ll go through:
    3 Fun facts about meMethod 1: groundingMethod 2: creating simmer potsMethod 3: airing outMethod 4: tarot and oracle cardsMethod 5: seek guidance from mentors

    Powerback 201: What are you talking yourself out of?

    Powerback 201: What are you talking yourself out of?

    Today, we're talking about talking yourself out of things that actually could bring you a lot of joy.

    Now, we're not talking about the big stuff this time. We're talking about the small, incremental, tiny moments in your day that you feel a tug to lean in, you feel a calling to do, but then inevitably, your brain gets involved.

    Then it's like, “No, I don't have time”, “I shouldn't do that”, “I should get back to work”... insert 18 million different shoulds. The point is that you end up talking yourself out of doing this thing and just continue to spin in the hamster wheel.

    So, in this Powerback® episode, we're gonna take our power back by leaning into those simple joys of life. Learning how to recognize when you have those tugs, and then giving yourself permission to follow through with them. It's really interesting how some of the smallest things can bring us some of the biggest joys.

    We’ll go through:
    What I mean by talking yourself out of stuffWhy we talk ourselves out of life’s simplistic joysHow to start accepting these moments of joy and fulfillmentReframing how you look at honoring your wants and desiresNotice when it happens and practice receiving

Telling it like it is!

No fluff, actual advice, it’s a must-listen!
If you’re looking for a podcast that tells it like it is and gives you actionable advice to move forward with your goals, this is it. You’ll feel inspired and ready to take action after listening.

Real, Raw, Relatable

I recently found the Gutsy Podcast and felt immediate relieved when I started listening to this level of authentic conversation combined with tangible strategy. Entrepreneurship can be incredibly isolating but having this conversation in my pocket to listen on the go has given me the continual reminder of collective struggle & potential for success when we collaborate together.

LOVE!

I’ve listened to both solo and guest interview episodes, and I love them both! There seems to be a little bit of something for everyone, and I love LA’s “you’ve got this and I’m right there with you” energy.
