Forced to Re-Choose: How do we take care of ourselves and others?



What do we do with our feelings during times of transition and trauma? Do we choose how we feel? Should we shut our feelings up? How do we make choices when fear, anger and frustration bubble up? How do we respond to this kind of shake up in our systems?

COVID, Coronavirus, quarantine, shelter at home, economic crashes and an abrupt halt to millions of jobs brings up really intense feelings. What do we do with this anxiety, fear, anger and trauma?

In this podcast, I talk about how attempting to control our feelings lead to destructive behaviors toward ourselves and others. When we tell our emotions to shut up we lean toward addiction, shaming ourselves for perfectly natural and valid responses to danger. We are not imagining the danger to our livelihoods and the abrupt transitions we are making in our economy.

This is a time of re-choosing. So how do we re-choose? How do we make the transitions required in the way we work, the way we think, the way we vote and the way we get our needs met.

This podcast challenges conventional wisdom, old paradigms and beliefs that are no longer practical or helpful in the way we live today in 2020. When faced with a dramatic halt, how do we know which way to go? When faced with forced change how do we deal with our personal emotions and kindness to others?

How are global resources distributed and it is sustainable, helpful or beneficial? With all the fake news, agendas, corporate misleading and mistrust how do we know what to believe or which way to vote?

With new information, new science, new discoveries how do we interpret what the Golden Rule is? Why are we using outdated information to determine our impact on the world? How can we dump trigger words like Love or “Do Unto Others” when they are no longer useful in centering our values and behavior?

What Was Working Stopped Working



What do you do when everything that was working stops working? How do you begin manifesting again? How did you use Law of Attraction to make this happen? How do you deal with the gap when you’ve lost everything, but the new thing hasn’t come yet? How to do you set new boundaries and stand up to everyone who gets furious about the new rules?
Try Elixonol CBD, traceesioux.com/CBD is sweeping the nation because of its potent health benefits. I use the oils to reduce stress and to stop clenching my teeth at night; I use the rubs to loosen muscles and treat aches and pains; I use both to cure a migraine (I swear it works!); and check out the skincare products too. Some of my friends use it for arthritis, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, high blood pressure, acute pain and insomnia. Some people have been able to reduce or eliminate anti-anxiety meds and even anti-depressants. (I keep taking the anti-depressants and you should too unless you talk to your doctor.) CBD reduces stress and inflammation. Almost all disease is caused by stress and inflammation, so reducing those factors has to make you feel better, right? At least that’s how I think of it. Give it a try. What if it helps?

Your Purpose is Your Purpose. Why Can't I Just Be a Nurse?



So many times on the path of being a writer, a creator, an entrepreneur and a seeker I have demanded of the Universe, the answer to this question: Why can't I just be a nurse? Nurses help people, provide a worthy good and best of all, get a steady paycheck going down a well-worn path. While I, on the other hand, am told to go down nearly invisible paths with no idea what the “pay-off” will be, if there is any at all in the name … art? purpose? plan? meaning? self? “Forget it, I'm going in this door!” I will declare to the Universe, as I try to open the one for being a teacher or I send out resume after resume attempting to appease ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE (except for my Soul and my kids) to get a “real job.” ALL. THE. DOORS. SLAM. IN. MY. FACE.Maybe you can relate? Have you ever gone through a period in your life when all paths scream NOOOO!! When every attempt to choose a door is met with thwarting and failure and rejection and outright firings? Welcome to the party. We're in this together. If you know your body, the Universe and your Soul are trying to get your attention but you can't figure out what they're saying you'll want to read Soul vs. Ego Smackdown: How to say YES! to your Soul and tell your Ego to Suck It. I wrote it just for you. Oh, and you heard the commercial – if we're going to get through this together we need to dose up on some stress and inflammation relieving CBD.
