Episode 13 - Meg's 2023 Reflection

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 14:00:00 -0600

It's almost 2024! Very grateful to end 2023 with this episode - Meg's 2023 Reflection <3
She stretched out of her comfy zone, is squashing more and more fears & pressing the "f*ck it" button!

Here are some highlights:

recently came to the realization that she is worthy & has value - and reminding us that we all are worthy & valuable
craving early in life to know her purpose here on earth
connecting back to God
2023 was the year of "compassion" for herself, for family members, for all others, for animals
the feeling of coherence
her ending of repeating history, generational trauma, detaching from labels of "mental health issues", "depression", "anxiety"
processing through her emotions by meditation, affirmations, breathwork
her growth in awareness of emotions and what works for her to work through them
growing up in the bar life, realizing her future was laid out for her and she walked the path without much creation of her OWN until about 8 years ago
her unhealthy relationship with alcohol
having compassion AND learning to set boundaries
shoutout to her first "mom friend" Amy! Please let it in - you are an angel on earth!
realizing a belief of not wanting to let new people in, was actually a resistance to something she didn't know she needed - community!
stretching out of her comfort zone in social events
showing up for others despite the discomfort/anxiety, without relying on alcohol
asking herself why she never wanted to commit in the past, realizing her love to support others now outweighs her fears of committing
doing "new", squashing fears! doing something weird - a Steel Mace Flow performance coming up!
finding her sweet spot in sustainable eating & living supported by a healthy mindset, self-talk, thoughts

Episode 12 - Court's 2023 Reflection

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0600

Thank YOU for coming back to The Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast! Merry holidays to you & yours!

Flying solo in this episode as my co-pilot Meg is plugged into her own health & family during this holiday season - send her prayers & high vibes!

Decided to take this moment to reflect on the year of 2023 from my perspective... it's been EXPANSIVE! Sooo many eureka moments came to light from all of the darkness that i've experienced since my earliest years.

Here are some highlights:

this episode is "action" following all of my growing awareness to these traits of me that I no longer want to be victim to: perfectionism, self sabotage, procrastination, feeling dumb, to name a few
thus, I am showin up to keep growin up - emotionally
the light-lessons that appear from the darkness often don't come until we CHOOSE to look within the darkness to see them... instead of "avoid" which I've always done until self-development came into my life
much of my darkness stems from the emotional disconnect in the home I grew up in
getting to the root of these insecurities has allowed me to move through them and on to the brighter side
just turned 40! the older i get, the younger i look and feel!
using the metaphor of life as an amusement park, every experience is a ride within it
"collaboration" has been my superpower word for the year of 2023, maybe even for the rest of my life! gonna keep wearing it until something else replaces it... which I'm not sure what could, it feels THAT POWERFUL!
my biggest revelation from my 6-month self-transformation course was my darkness connected to "family" and how I've allowed that darkness to bleed into my 'now' family - and the brightest light i discovered and have no reclaimed my power within all my family connections

It means a lot to utilize this thing called a podcast to connect with you all. I TRULY want to hear your own reflections that come to mind as you've listened or when you tune back in... with any dark moments in your life where you found a better or more magical outcome - if you're listening on Spotify - comment in the Q&A box under this description. If you're tuning in from apple podcasts - leave your reflections in the reviews. Grateful to connect with you in all the ways!
