Rest, leisure, and play are things we all want, aren't they? It's what we wait and plan for, whether that's organizing vacations, or having a couple of days off at the weekend. So why is it so hard for some of us to actually do this when the time comes?

Join me this week as I show you the fastest way to figure out your relationship with rest, leisure, and play. You'll discover why disengaging to play or have downtime feels so challenging, why running on fumes doesn't benefit you or anyone else, and how to start shifting your lens on rest so you can start viewing it as a vital part of your life.

This week, I'm showing you how self-judgment shows up for us, why it's not going to lead to lower standards, and how to use the best antidote to self-judgment in your everyday.

Do you try to fix or suppress your anger, and feel guilty if you can't? Many of us have been taught to see anger as shameful, unprofessional, or even dangerous. As a result, we bottle it up, push it down, and try to ignore it. The cost of burying anger is emotional exhaustion and disconnection from ourselves.

My guest this week is Krista St-Germain, a grief expert and coach for widowed moms. She teaches other widows how to love life again after a tragic change in circumstances, which makes Krista the perfect guest to discuss agency and living with intention, even in the face of things that we cannot control.

Discover the power of your narrative about your feelings and the life-changing concepts that helped Krista through grief. Krista shares her valuable perspective on grief and loss, her experience in therapy versus getting coached, and the tools she uses with her clients who are in the thick of grief and big feelings.

Did you know that you are one human made up of multiple personalities, or parts, that interact internally, much like people interact in the external world? This is what Internal Family Systems (IFS) teaches us. These parts are responsible for the bulk of your habits, so when you understand these parts or personalities better, you have the secret to understanding your habits.

This week, discover how your habits can be explained as thoughts, feelings, and actions that originate from distinct parts of yourself. I'm giving you an overview of IFS, and sharing a practical exercise that will help you notice and name the parts of yourself that contribute to your specific habits.
