    EP281: Values to Guide Clarity and Direction
    2026/02/12
    The past week felt like it stayed with me longer than I expected. After getting back from New York and everything surrounding my Aunt Ronnie's service, I noticed I was still sitting with that feeling of surrender I talked about in the last episode. There were so many moving parts with the travel and the weather, and even though everything worked out, I could feel how tired I was from trying to hold it all together. What helped was coming back, again and again, to what I could actually control, and letting the rest be what it was. As I was settling back into my routine, I started thinking about alignment and how I find my footing when things feel uncertain. I'm always learning, always taking something new in, and recently I started a course on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. On the very first call, we were invited to look at our values, and I'll be honest, I didn't think much would come up. As I sat with it, I realized some of my values have changed because I've changed. That clarity felt grounding in a way I didn't expect. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down and spend some time with the values that are guiding you right now, and notice how they may be shaping the way you're moving through this season of your life. What values feel most important to you right now, whether that's your top ten or just a few that truly stand out?What qualities do you most admire in others, and how do those reflect the values you hold?Which values are guiding you in this present moment, especially as you move through uncertainty or challenge?How are these values helping you envision the person you are becoming?What values feel connected to who you are right now and who you want to be moving forward?How do these values shape your choices, actions, and daily habits?In what ways do your values act as motivators that help you go after what matters most to you?How are your values showing up in your life right now, both in visible and subtle ways?How can your values serve as living guides that support your highest and best self?How do your values define you when you are at your best?How do your values influence the way you show up in relationships with others?How can you honor shared values in your relationships while allowing space for others to live those values in their own way?Where might greater clarity around your values help you communicate boundaries or make agreements with others?How can you create more alignment and mutual respect in your relationships by naming what truly matters to you?How can you apply your values awareness to your career or daily work?Are there areas in your career or relationships where something feels off or out of alignment?When you notice imbalance or discomfort, how can you return to your values as a compass to guide your next choice or action? I'd love to hear what values are guiding you right now. Whether it's your top ten or just one or two that feel especially alive for you, notice how you're holding space for them in this season and how they're shaping the choices you're making. Thank you so much for being here and for showing up with such openness and self-awareness. I'll meet you back here next Thursday for our Wise Walk, and until then, prioritize fun, read the signs, trust your path, and get your Stride On. In this episode: [03:23] How the Celtic Wheel of the Year is just another opportunity for us to align with the universe, seasons, and the flow of nature.[04:26] As I defined my values, I realized that over time some of them have shifted. Knowing your values serves as a living guide for all of us.[06:12] As I went on my own Wise Walk, I realized that focusing on my values was more difficult than I thought. It took me a while to target my top 10.[07:02] Kindness is a fallback value for me. I also love being of service to others. Love and gratitude are very connected, but I honed in on love.[08:16] Other big ones for me include learning and growth, adventure in nature, and openness. Balance and freedom were also very important to me.[09:16] I also wanted to show up authentically as myself. Health is also a priority and part of my top 10.[11:20] My top 10 are kindness, service, love, learning, adventure in nature, openness, balance, freedom, authenticity, and health.[13:10] One of my values is health. This is also the value of many of my friends, but the way health shows up is unique for each of us.[15:48] I was speaking with a client about career values and growth. They've now admitted that this isn't a value that they're passionate about anymore.[16:55] They now have a career value of stability. Getting clear on this was very powerful.[18:24] Identifying my values as a living guide is going to increase my decision making and help me feel more aligned with my choices.[19:02] This exercise will also help reduce internal conflict or conflict with others. Memorable Quotes: "Living in alignment doesn't mean life gets easier, it means you trust yourself more when it gets hard."...

    EP280: Finding Peace in What You Can't Control
    2026/02/05
    This past week really tested my need for control. I had a lot going on emotionally as I was getting ready to travel back to New York to honor the passing of my Aunt Ronnie. There was a snowstorm moving across the country, flights were being delayed and canceled, and plans kept changing. Emotions were already high, and with everything unfolding the way it was, I had to keep reminding myself that there were things outside of my control that I just had to accept. As the week unfolded, I could feel anxiety start to creep in with all the unknowns. I can't control the weather or the flights, but I can control how present I stay and how I choose to show up in the middle of it. This is a reflection on surrender and releasing that grip. I share a story from my teenage years as a lifeguard, helping a frightened little girl learn how to float, and how breath, trust, and letting go allowed her to be supported by the water. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down and reflect on where you may be holding on too tightly, and become aware of what you can control or release to help you discover peace and freedom amidst the uncertainty. When you notice anxiety, stress, fear, or a lack of safety coming up, how much of that is a need for control, and how much might be a trigger from something else?Are you able to identify the root of that emotion and consider how you might respond differently so you can reduce anxiety, stress, or fear?How do you gain awareness and focus on the present, when you're facing resistance or situations that are outside of your control?Is there an area of your life where you realize that you may be trying to control something that isn't actually yours to control?As you take yourself on a Wise Walk, can you notice what's triggering your stress and consider whether more realistic expectations might help you feel supported and grounded?Can you visualize yourself floating, breathing, and being supported by what's around you, trusting that you are safe and worthy, exactly as you are?Are there tasks or goals in your life that are distracting you from where you want to go, or are they supporting you in feeling more at peace and showing up the way you want?Can you feel good about the small steps you're taking so that even when things don't go as planned, you know you that did what you could?If circumstances don't allow you to show up in the way you originally intended, how might you still be present in a different way, whether in spirit, intention, or connection?Can you shift your energy away from needing things to happen in a very specific way and open yourself to new ways of participating through the things you can control? It's my hope that we can float together. That we can surrender, release, and find a little more peace, letting Mother Nature, the water, and the elements support us along the way. As always, I'd love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so please feel free to reach out and send me a DM. I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping that you feel supported in all the ways that really matter to you. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk. In this episode: [03:44] When I was in high school I was a lifeguard at the Marriott Hotel. I remember helping a five-year-old girl who had a fear of floating. [05:55] I coached her on how to let go and to let the water do the work for her. She needed to release anxiety, stress, and control. The more she released her tension and grip, the easier it became for her to float.[06:19] This is true in life. If we're resisting, we're fighting against the grain. Accepting safety and support can appear in a way that we're not used to.[07:01] The art of surrendering is what will keep us afloat. I needed to remind myself of this during this stressful week with so many factors coming into play.[08:08] The best thing I can do is surrender and do the things I can control. We need to see surrender as a strength. It's not defeat.[09:20] I'm also separating from holding on too tightly, expecting things to happen the way that I want them to.[10:47] I feel safe and supported right now from the Universe and the individuals who decide whether it's safe to fly or not.[11:08] I'm going to stay in my lane, and visualize myself floating in the water.

  • EP279: How Love and Impact Live On

    EP279: How Love and Impact Live On
    2026/01/29
    Over the past eight months, I've lost two dear loved ones who had a profound impact on my life. They lived fully, with vibrant energy, wisdom, kindness, and deep care for others. While I'm heartbroken that I no longer get to experience their physical presence here on earth, I also feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the love I was able to receive from them, love that was unconditional and deeply shaping. One of them passed just yesterday, so forgive me if my emotions rise as I share, but in the midst of the sadness, I find comfort in knowing that even though I can no longer see them or hear their voices, their spirit lives on. And the love and impact they had on me and so many others remains. This episode is a reflection on that truth that love and impact don't disappear when someone is gone. They continue through memory, through values, through the ways we show up for others because of what we were given or what we received. On today's Wise Walk, I invite you to slow down with me and reflect on the people you've loved and lost, and consider how their presence still guides you, shapes you, and lives on through you. As you reflect on the loved ones you have lost, how does their love and impact continue to live on in you today?In what ways were they a role model for you, and which of their qualities are you consciously choosing to carry forward for yourself or the next generation?What messages do you still receive from them, and how do you notice their guidance when you are at a crossroads or facing an important decision?What stories from your past bring their presence alive, and how can you retell those stories so others can appreciate how they lived, showed up, and influenced you?Is there someone in your life who has recently experienced a loss, and how might you invite them to share a meaningful story about the person or animal they loved?If you are unsure what to ask, what real-life challenge could you share while inviting their loved one's wisdom through a question like, what advice do you think they would offer me now?What other ways come to mind for helping someone you care about honor a memory and keep it alive through conversation, curiosity, or shared reflection?How are you showing up and leading by example for the people you interact with each day?In what ways is your love and impact staying with others, long after the moment has passed?How are you mentoring others and sharing your wisdom from a place of openness, authenticity, and unconditional care?How are you living your values in a way that inspires others to find their passions, live by what matters most to them, and step into their highest and best self? I hope that whatever you and your loved ones are going through, that you have the ability to start looking at the love and impact around you, both living and passed on. Cherish it, because that's what this is all about. As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, so feel free to reach out and tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [02:59] There's a saying that we die twice. The first time is when we physically die, and the last time is when people stop saying your name or the memory of your spirit and impact dies. [04:00] I'm grateful we get to keep memories alive by holding our loved ones in our hearts, sharing what we learned from them, and continuing values and traditions they impressed upon us.[05:02] My loved ones are mentors that have kept me grounded and kept me in check. I love the acceptance and willingness to be vulnerable with each other.[06:04] My friend's dad recently passed, and she's been sharing stories about her connection with him. We have the ability to keep each other's loved ones' memories alive by being curious.[08:09] I asked my new friend a question about her father, and she started telling me stories about his time in the Navy. He respected rank, but he wasn't afraid to put his foot down and even told an Admiral why something wouldn't work.[09:12] It was wonderful to hear her voice light up when she shared a story about her father who showed up and was able to lead by example.[10:15] When I reflect on the love and impact of my loved ones, I think of their magical confidence and how they led by example.[11:29] The lesson my uncle was trying to teach me is if you have self-belief anything is possible.[12:02] I hope I can instill love and impact in others. The beautiful thing about loss is that you take stock of what you have.[13:38] The other big takeaway is how each of us have the ability to make each other feel special. Feeling seen, heard, and understood is impactful and carries legacy.[14:29] There is no direct path for healing from grief. If you are experiencing any grief, any loss, just know that you have love and support even in the Striders community and it takes as long as it takes.[15:05] Show up and be curious and caring for those that you care about.[16:03] I'm going to approach the ...
