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 Why are we using outdated information to determine our impact on the world?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?

Your Soul is Going to Get what It Wants: Even if It has to Crash Your Life



Your Soul is Going to Get What It Wants. It’s the inevitable outcome. Your Soul came here for something. And you can try to escape it, but your Soul will, one way or another, demand it anyway. If you don’t surrender to Its voice, you Soul will Crash your Life so that you have nothing to cling to.

We’re coming into a completely new phase in 2020. We’ve ending a 35 year relationships cycle is how we spent 2019 (and a few years running from the change prior to 2019, if we’re honest).

Law of Attraction Manifesting in the old phase and cycle is shallow and simplistic. Often we demand what we think we want and refuse to listen to the deeper voice telling us what we really came here for.

When you submit – your Soul will tell you to do scary things. Like raise your vibration and get out of relationships you deeply care about. Like change what you’re doing for money and work. In other words, CHANGE.

If you dare, commit to the TRUTH of your life. Who is in it. How did you get here. Are you getting what you really want? Are you projecting good on other people to maintain those relationships.

Are you willing to live a death to be reborn and resurrected as a better, brighter, lighter being?

NO? Then prepare for the crash. Because your Soul didn’t come here to do nothing. Or to stay the same as it was. Consciousness is living itself through you. And it will do it, with or without your struggle and angst and clinging.

The Secret? Is that when you surrender to it, and follow where it leads – regardless of the grief and loss and terror and loneliness involved – there’s relief and lightness. The burden you were clinging to and carrying as your own falls to the ground and you wonder “Why did I think I needed to Carry that? How did I ever allow that nonsense to happen? What was I thinking?”
