Today's episode is about a breakthrough I'm having. I am noticing that the "break" I'm trying to take at the end of the day involving weed, sometimes alcohol, YouTube videos and snacks is really just setting me up for chaos the next day. I don't feel great, the house is a mess and I just start the cycle all over again to want another "break" again. Instead of denouncing this as just bad, I try to look at what it's giving me. The insight I found is that it is protecting me from making progress, or having the time and space to make progress on the big questions like who I am, what my purpose is and how I want to spend my life.…

Accepting Feelings of Loss, Grief and Disappointment 14:28

This morning I attended another day of Weaving Well Through Illness, a series put on by my teacher Quynn Red Mountain for a small group of us that are living with different, often chronic, health conditions. In today's circle we talked about grief and resentment as well as loss, disappointment and sadness associated with our experiences. I felt inspired to share with you a time where I experienced all of this as a way to help me continue to grieve and process through these challenging emotions.

The Truth Comes Out | My First Hypnotherapy Session 18:50

4 years ago18:50

18:50

Today I had the chance to try hypnotherapy for the first time. My facilitator was my new friend Kyle Ross and he led me through a deep dive into my subconscious where I relearned old lessons from a new perspective. Our goal was to explore what is holding me back from being my full self, speaking my mind and being the leader I truly want to be. In all that I also got the strong truth that my inner authentic self REALLY REALLY wants to spend more time outside doing magic. According to my 4 year old self magic in the woods is the "best thing ever" and as a free and well resourced adult I should be doing it all the time. This fits very nicely into me being given the opportunity to lead the Greater Seattle Witches Group just yesterday. I think my goals to be a community leader and a magical person are coming together in ways I don't think I could have possibly imagined, but totally love. Happy full moon everyone, magic is in the air! To connect with Kyle for Hypnotherapy and NLP sessions visit www.yourownuniverse.co.uk…

This morning kind of shook me up because my grandma came home from a 10 day vacation and wasted no time telling me I'm too skinny and must not be eating. It was a lot for me to hear, because I think I am doing really well, even having gained a bit of weight back over the last few weeks after it dipped. I can handle the concern, what I can't handle is being told that I am not eating full meals when I am and that she would be nagging me to eat more calories when I already eat 2,200 a day most days. I had therapy right after recording this and I am doing better. Mostly I am just proud that I stood up for myself and let the conversation when I didn't want to have it any more.…

For all the new people here, hello! My name is Rebecca and I have been living in isolation for over 5 years due to mental and environmental illnesses keeping me housebound. Now that so many of you are in quarantine because of the coronavirus, I thought I would get back online and see if I can help in some way. I look forward to hearing from you. #ExposingIsolation Exposing Isolation is brought to you by BeScentFree.com , a Sapient Living production.…

I'm in an uncomfortable situation at the moment. I want to figure out a way to make money so all the pressure isn't just on Thomas to pay for everything, but my energy and moods are so inconsistent that I've just been using what energy I have to manage our home. Anyway, I go back and forth constantly about making a cookbook. Right now I feel like I could/should but I'm nervous. I really don't have the spoons to put work out right now.…

Today what started as a joke turned into a extremely straight forward explanation of what I do. My company, Sapient Living, is a resource for people who feel shitty, who want to feel less shitty, run by people who know what it's like to feel shitty. You know from listening to this show that I have been housebound due to chronic illness for over four years. My husband and co-founder of Sapient Living, Thomas, grew up with Junior Rheumatoid Arthritis which we only got under control a few years ago with the Sapient Diet. Whether you are struggling with your physical or mental health, lifestyle, job, motivation or anything else, there is a good chance we can help. We certainly want to try.

This has happened before when I felt totally safe for a moment, like my body doesn't know how to stay animated if not for the stress hormones making it go. Luckily Thomas was there for me which allowed me to feel safe in the first place and showed me just how loved and taken care of I really am. Today I am doubling down on taking care of myself and I am happy to have this "second chance" to show myself the love I wish I had the first time something like this happened.…

Though the power of a horrific dream and being forced out of bed this morning with the beginning of a UTI (which I hope I have now cured) I learned some very important lessons. Mostly that if I don't take myself seriously, take control of my own well-being and maintain exceptionally high standards for what I accept as right and good, I'm going to end up living in a future that I did not help create. If I do not do this I will end up leading my people though the dark instead of leading them (you?) into the light. So, I now commit myself to the most rebellious act one can commit in today's society, I will unapologetically love myself first.…
