PODCAST
YOU, ME, & THE ELEPHANT
Podcast hosted by Dr. Deb with Crystal Clear
Episode 45: Ever feel anxious?
In this episode, I ask for you to imagine that we are each sitting in a circle with one another, listening, self-reflecting and gaining a deeper understanding of the influences that impact how we find safety within (or don’t) and how well can we traverse the precariousness of life.
Episode 44: How good can you stand it?
This episode is filled with somatic check-ins, personal stories, and as always curious questions as we sit down with the elephant of goodness and consider what it means and what it feels like to experience goodness in your life and in your being.
Episode 43: Reciprocation - After the Episode
As I mentioned in the previous episode, a more profound understanding of unpacking Reciprocation, specifically within our closest relationships landed AFTER I was finished recording. It prompted a tuned-in self reflection which led to a greater understanding of the essential components to Relational Reciprocation.
What are those things that make you feel alive, seen, heard, and loved? Although this answer on a granular level may be different for each of us, there are some elements that seem to be universal.
Episode 42: What does it mean to reciprocate?
In this first installment, we explore our basic understanding of reciprocity and how it shows up in our relationships. Have you ever felt exhausted because you feel like you are doing everything or giving so much but not feeling supported or like anyone else is as invested or understands you?
Episode 41: Are you resilient?
There seems to be a perpetual pressure of not showing how we really feel and choking back the frustrations and tears of life. Have you been there? Is it possible that offering a more connected and embodied understanding of what it means to BE RESILIENT could be of value?
Episode 40: Change?
“The one constant in life is change.” How many times have you heard this? Change simply means shifting something enough that it lets your body/mind pay attention differently. Knowing that change is inevitable, doesn't it make sense to spend a moment considering how you do change, or not do change? Join me in the dance of CHANGE and let’s discover how to “be (more of) the change you wish to see in the world.”
Episode 39: What type of mask do you wear?
In this episode, we dive into the dichotomy of physical and metaphorical mask wearing and some of the common masks we wear to empower ourselves and also the common masks that may be hidden (even to ourselves) that hold parts of our being’s expression hostage.
Episode 38: What is in a question?
This episode is centered around how we get to enough curiosity, humility, and trust to discover more about ourselves, others, and the life we live. Each episode invites you in through a QUESTION. This episode explores why that is so, and what a question can offer us.
Episode 37: Do you belong?
What did you think about most today? Which thought patterns seem to have a hold on your attention? Do they give you access to more energy, peace, and perspective?
Episode 36: What are you trying to prove?
The other day my inner thoughts were about 10 steps ahead of my body. I could feel a sense of urgency that didn’t seem to match what I was actually doing in that moment. I invite you to consider some of the things that may promote this kind of internal pressure to prove, be good, and/or do better.
Episode 35: Do you ever get lonely?
In this episode, we unpack loneliness…what it is, what is inside of it, and how we can navigate and support more connected lives for ourselves and our loved ones because of it.
Episode 34: What do you see?
In this episode, we will take a moment to discern what allows you to see…or not see. You will discover that what you take in (see) every day impacts how well you can receive. In addition, we will also look at how our world is set up to make us addicted to multitasking, burnout, and addictive habits in general.
Episode 33: What is mother?
Mother’s Day can elicit a range of feelings depending on our personal life experiences. What is a mother, what is her role, and how can we explore these questions through the lens of archetype vs a person?
Episode 32: What does it mean to sustain your life?
A question I was presented with recently was, “Where in my life do I sustain and where in my life do I maintain?” Have you ever been asked a simple question that feels out of proportionally complex to answer? This conversation ended up being very helpful in noticing where I am currently maintenance heavy and where I am maintenance light. Join me in the episode.
Episode 31: What do you expect?
In this episode, I adventure into what lies behind our expectations, how reconnecting with the mystery of life influences how and what we expect, and how re-visiting Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements may support us in updating and enriching our relationship to EXPECTING.
Episode 30: What are you saying?
This episode is simply filled with three baseline observations on how what we say can reveal what’s happening on the inside and within the dynamic of your relationships. Sometimes we use avoidance languaging, sometimes we come out fighting, and others we just simply freeze.
Episode 29: Are you enough?
Are you enough? Do you have enough? Have you done enough? It seems as though our relationship to “being enough” lies underneath a lot of our behaviors, like reducing a fraction to its simplest form. When we do hold on to or try not to look at the “enough” conversation, it either implodes (creating exhaustion, anxiety or dis-ease) or explodes (impacting and possibly damaging our relationships).
Episode 28: Do you like money?
What is your relationship with money? Do you smile when you think about money or is there a pit in your stomach? The one thing I’m certain of is that it has played (and plays) an important role in your life, regardless of what kind of relationship you have with it.
Episode 27: How do you nurture your creativity?
Where does creativity come from anyway? Some of us associate with being creative and some of us don’t. Or, sometimes we just don’t know. Join us as we get CREATIVE on our understanding of the remembering of Self and the power that lies within our creativity.
Episode 26: What does your pet teach you about life?
This is an episode all of humanity needs. Oh, how our four leggeds love to teach us so much! This was a “conversation that almost wasn’t." Then, by the magic of the field around us, everyone seemed to be talking about the beauty and love of their pets!
