Over the past few episodes I've been talking about elements of a soul-honouring life.

Today I'm talking about how when you recognize that your capacity shifts in new life seasons, and how honouring your wiring and capacity in different seasons of life - is an important way that you can befriend yourself and also create a sustainable and soul-honouring life for yourself.

Key ideas you'll learn about in this episode:

1. What it means to honour your wiring and capacity.
2. Why this matters to you as a midlife woman. And why this feels challenging our counter-intuitive to you.
3. The reasons that learning to do this not only helps you rest and restore but also helps you EXPAND your capacity for the fullness of life.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Learning to fully love and respect who you are and how you are wired supports your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Constantly judging yourself as bad, wrong, or broken because you cannot keep up with a societal expectations or your conditioned expectations on yourself is harmful.

Giving yourself permission to be your True Self, unravelling all the old beliefs about how you "should" be or all the ways you learned to perform or prove yourself is freeing and hopeful.

This is one of the kindest and wisest things you can do for yourself. I know that bills still need to paid and this doesn't magically fix hard circumstances in this season of your life. But if you can be on your own side, and lay down shame and judgment, life will feel a whole lot easier and kinder.

In this episode I share one of my favourite empowering and life-giving practices. It offers a huge ROI in my life. And I've seen the change that happens for others when I teach them this practice.

A soul-honouring life is an expression of True Self in the world. Last episode I focused on how knowing your Core Values helps you be your True Self and make decisions aligned with what truly matters to you.

It takes a bit of time to not only identify your Core Values but also to learn how to use them in practical ways - or how to live them in concrete ways. And some people feel overwhelmed by figuring out their core values at first.

So today I'm sharing how you can receive most of the same benefits in an easier to access, and even less-threatening (or activating) way. Which brings us to my favourite practice of choosing 3-5 Mind-Body-Spirit Intentions each year.

Mind-Body-Spirit Intentions (or MBSIs) are words that reflect your current growth edge and how you want to feel in your body and life. They paint a vivid mental and emotional picture of who you want to be in your life.

MBSIs are not magic fairy dust or wishful thinking. When you name your Mind-Body-Spirit Intentions for the year, you are simply naming (or claiming) what you are committed to practicing.

In this episode you'll learn;

1. The 3 key filters for my life.
2. What distinguishes a core value from an MBSI.
3. The difference between an outward orientation and an inner orientation (and why it matters to you).
4. How our experience of life can shift even radically depending on how we show up to it.
5. And why the most important thing to remember is that every day you get to ask ourself "will I practice, or will I not?"

One of the most common search terms on my website or in google that bring people to my site is "how to find your core values" or "what are my core values."

Your Core Values are an expression of your True Self in the world.

I created a 5-hour workshop to help you not only identify your core values, but understand why this is so beneficial, and how to apply (or live) your core values in practical, intentional ways.

If you're interested in more than dabbling and are ready to truly understand your core values and how to embody them or walk them out to "live on purpose" then I encourage you to buy the workshop.

In this episode I share

3 things that drive the show in your life - your root motivations. The things that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.

5 key benefits of knowing your core values.

5 reflection prompts that will grow your self-awareness and point you toward your core values.

Next week I have a new resource coming that will help you name what you want and bridge the gap between current reality and the desired outcome.
