In today's episode I'm sending you all love and a couple things about emotion to think about, as Powerful Be-Longing goes on hiatus for the rest of December. I also invite you to join me for some free body-mind-soul love through the Wild Soul Movement classes I'm offering free through December.  If you'd like to know more and rsvp to one or more of the classes, just reach out using one of the contact resources here in the show notes and I'll hook you up! PS - this is actually episode 29...I called it episode 28 in today's show, because I can't count. Reach out at Instagram at Lisa_Hat ..read more

Today's show is a shorty - about 20 minutes or so, and it's off the top of my head...unscripted and pretty organic, so you'll get to hear me in all my spiral-ly glory. What can I say...sometimes I just want to say the words instead of writing them (but you can always subscribe to Sunday Muse, my email newsletter, for the bigger picture). What I offer in this episode is a phrase that I want you to consider: "Right now..." and why. For your consideration, beautiful souls. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Today’s show is a conversation with my friend and coach Bridgette Boudreau. I’ve had Bridgette on the show before to talk about her mosaic approach to being guided toward our purpose and joy, and if you didn’t get a chance to listen to that one you can find it as Episode 12 of this podcast. Today’s conversation is about wayward coaches. Intrigued? I hope so, because whether you’re a coach or not... or if you are a coach, whether you’re practicing or not...there is so much in today’s conversation about the influence of marketing and popular culture on us all, and how regardless of the intentio ..read more

Hello Beautiful Souls!   I’m bringing you a special conversation between myself and my good friend and colleague Dr Sonia Wright, The Midlife Sex Coach (TM).  We’re talking all about something exciting that will be happening in the world in Spring 2023: our upcoming project the YES (Your Empowered Sexuality) Sexual Intimacy Coaching School. Sonia has a goal to impact the sexual intimacy of millions of women around the world, work she's already doing  in so many ways, and certification in sexual intimacy is just another way for women to start fully owning their sexuality a ..read more

Today's episode holds an announcement I'm proud to make about a collaboration between my friend and colleague Dr. Sonia Wright (The Midlife Sex Coach) and myself, and then I get down to business talking about cutting cords. We all tether ourselves to things that, whether they were necessary, fabulous, "right" for us at the time or not, are now tying us down in ways that feel oppressive and constricting. Yet we might not want to fully see those cords because...it's scary to see them. To acknowledge them. If we're conscious of something that needs to change, we usually feel compelled in some wa ..read more

I wasn’t going to record this week, as I’m on retreat, but had a few thoughts and a worthy values exercise come to mind to share with you today so…here it is.  ..read more

Today's show is brief and simple - a gift from me to you that you may reject. And that's okay. Because *simple* is not a concept we love. Oh, we love the thought of simplicity...and then we buy a shit ton of books and classes and magazines and sessions from a simplicity mentor to simplify our life; in essence pre-undoing how we want to be. Even today, as I was recording this, I wanted to make it deeper, more complicated. I felt the urge to embellish so it would seem like more to you... but if you listen, and if you're open, it's possible you'll grasp the enormity of the simple tenets offere ..read more

On this week's episode, we return to the stew pot for a chat about identity. crisis, whether you know it as a mid-life crisis (mid life is NOT the only time these crises can happen), "the river of misery," being "person soup," or simply "what the FUCK is happening to me?" Picking up on the kettle of boiling soup metaphor from last week, I unpack some of the "why" behind the pain (and therefore sense os crisis) of such times in our lives, and how we can help this process....and note, I'm not talking about prematurely shortening it or bypassing it....by harnessing our ability to let go. I invi ..read more

Today's episode is all about being boiled alive, and as gruesome as that sounds, it's something we go through many times in our lives. It the pain of identity shifting when we are losing something that has been super important to our ego-ic self, but is imprisoning our actual self. Our soul. So, bring some ice water along for the ride and...enjoy. Poem read on today's show: Chickpea to Cook Rumi – Translated by Coleman Barks Resonate with the episode? Feeling it? Let me know!

Pretty much every story arc of the myths and fairy tales and stories most loved by humanity starts with the idealistic innocent - the one who operates by the principals of simplicity - and this isn’t wrong or bad, it just is, because we ALL start here. The Innocent then goes on a quest where every single one of those simple principals is challenged. At the end of the story arc, the innocent has reached their nirvana, but they have changed. They’re more. They have greater perspective, nuanced understanding that helps them go on the next quest, because there’s always a next. Part of that expansi ..read more
