It's easy to get caught up in black and white thinking. We can see the world in terms of right and wrong, or good or bad. This is the home of the ego and the voice of judgement that lives in our mind. I don't know about you, but this is a hard place to live. Love is conditional, peace only comes when everything is going the way you want it to, and since we don't have control over the external world, this is also a fragile place to live. In this episode I'm going to share a simple story with you that can help us unlearn this dualistic thinking and see the world with more inclusion rather than judgement.

Cancel culture is not my favorite thing. I do admit, there is a sort of thrill the ego gets in being able to cling to what it thinks is right and metaphorically destroy opposition by cancelling someone through unfollows, unsubscribes, or public declarations of rejection.

But you know what? The thrill is totally short lived. And it's empty. And more importantly, it is a place of contraction not creation.

When you live in duality (black and white thinking), cancelling any voice that is different than your view can be an automatic response. But the more we can expand our mind and heart into non-duality (oneness), the more we can find and retain connection with the beautiful humans around us.

This is most definitely a practice...AND...it's worth every effort.

One of my favorite lessons from Autumn, is the importance of letting go.Mother Nature makes the process look beautiful and graceful, and dare I say, "easy".But is it easy? How easy is it for you to let things go?

It all depends on how attached we are to something. The tighter we are grasping at something the harder it will be to let it go. In this weeks Co Create Podcast I'm sharing a framework that has forever changed the way I view attachments. It comes from author Don Miguel Ruiz Jr, in his book, The Five Levels of Attachment.

We all have a window of tolerance for what we are willing to feel before we go into contraction and block ourselves from going any further. This happens for both ends of the spectrum. We have a window of tolerance for how much suffering we will endure and how much happiness and joy and pleasure we allow ourselves to feel as well. In this episode I'm going to share with you how I personally learned to go beyond my edges when I thought I just couldn't handle feeling more.

Toxic Productivity is an easy trap to get caught in. Our society has placed high value on outputs and outcomes and the pressure is high to always have something to show for your time spent. Productivity in and of itself is neutral. However, when we become obsessive and use the focus on outcomes to drive our life it robs us of the gift of living in the present. Let's find balance so we can be better co creators.

I'm back from summer and lots has changed! Including the name of the Podcast! I explain all the details in my first unscripted episode (in over ten years of podcasting!). Some topics I cover include:
1. Creation is cyclical (the spiral) more than it is linear.
2. How we often need to change our context and have a beginners mind to learn
3. How unconditional love fits into creation.

I am diving into one of the most challenging parts of being a modern human. How much do you care about what other people think of you?
Often times our fears about other people's opinions are the very thing that keep us from making change, from speaking up, from doing the thing we know deep down we need to do, or even pursing our own dreams. If we get trapped in people pleasing and abandoning our own sense of self at the risk of not being liked, long term the results are far worse than they would have been otherwise. I'm sharing my own journey with this ongoing fear and how caring less about others opinions has actually helped me build the skill of trusting myself more and more.
