With many of us in the United States feeling like we have experienced a huge setback as a country, the concept of “resiliency” has been very present in our sessions lately. What makes someone resilient to life’s hardships? Is this a natural and innate force, or is resiliency something you need to work at developing? Whether resiliency is fixed and found, cultivated or grown, we ultimately marvel at the mind-blowing power of love and our hearts’ determination to continue to seek loving connections.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and the Inspired Being Podcast aims, in part, to include a grounded spiritual perspective into our everyday life. Yet spirituality can have a dark side, as anything else, from whitewashing experiences, denying our own feelings, to outright manipulation and abuse. We shine a light on how spirituality can go bad and things that can be done to ensure a healthy, full, autonomous exploration.

Happy Halloween!
We are offering our episode a day early this week to come out on Liz's favorite holiday, the Hallowed Eve. We spent all our time last week focusing on the veil between worlds, so this week we discuss a smattering of Halloween superstitions, including black cats, spiders, masks and costumes, and much much more. What if the Grim Reaper has gotten a really bad rap?

Welcome to the first of our two-part spooky season episodes! This time of year is rich with the magic and mystery, and as is commonly mentioned, the "veil" thins. We discuss what the veil is, what it means for it to thin (including wondering if if ever thickens), and how to approach this season with grounded curiosity and a sense of potential and creativity.

At the heart of therapy and personal growth resides our belief systems. Formed when we're young and vulnerable, it is common for many of us not to question these until we're offered a call back to "reality," while others of us are routinely on the lookout for new information. In this listener-suggested topic, we explore how our beliefs shape our lives.

Where do you find your motivation to try something new, to change, or to simply keep progressing? With the New England autumn upon us, we have found many of our clients preparing for a long, dark, dragging winter that is leaving them feeling unmotivated. In order to find what motivates you - and keeps you motivated - Liz proposes it's important to find your "why." With a little psychology and a brush up on the Stages of Change, we explore the concept of ambivalence and how it often is a sneaky factor in why we do not stay motivated in our efforts to change.

As a follow-up to our conversation on Love Languages, we discuss what it means to receive good things. We have both worked with clients who have had difficulty accepting in new things for a few reasons. We explore a few of those, and discuss that to welcome in some things, we have to be willing to let other things go.

It's nice to listen to a podcast where someone else has picked the topic - no additional "mental load" required. Continuing in the flow of episodes with a focus on relationships, we explore the relational aspects of who takes on the burden of planning, organizing, and leading. From group projects in school to picking movies for a night with friends to family relationships, let us take the lead in this conversation on what helps partnerships truly thrive.
