When we don’t get what we’ve prayed for, asked for or set intentions for it can put us in a cycle of feeling frustrated, disappointed, bitter and angry. We quickly go from it’s not working to I’m not worthy. We can feel like we’re being ghosted or “left on read”, like we never get our prayers or manifestations answered. The truth is there is ALWAYS an answer but your answer bias may be in the way of you receiving it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

Getting stuck in old habits and expectations is how the majority live. They keep expecting it to be this way so that’s the way it is. But where did these expectations come from and how do we change them? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

It’s easy for us to get stuck in the symptoms and surface level of what we are experiencing in our life. The triggers and things that we are experiencing are often just that and we need the right questions to help us dive down to the cause so that we can create real change, and make some real progress. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

I love questions that pierce through my mental anxiety and pop me out of the bubble of stress and overthinking that I often get stuck in.

When you are in survival mode and in a state of deprivation, you have been taught to be very afraid of binging or over indulging, and that fear is what actually keeps you in survival mode. The binge after deprivation is normal and it is actually a very important step and creating a new normal and a new experience for yourself at a new level. *I want to be clear that this episode is about money, love, time and other concepts like this, not about eating disorders.* --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

We always are looking for solutions and answers, trying to get the problem to change but what experience and age has taught me is that the problem actually never changes. It’s easy to feel like we are stuck in a problem that will not go away or to feel like we can’t find solutions or answers that we need to change the circumstances we are in. Understanding today’s topic allows me to move through problems, circumstances, and situations easier, and to feel like answers and solutions are always at my fingertips. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

We’ve been taught a lot of things about goalsetting and manifestation. One of those things is the importance of detachment but as a fellow control freak, I like to feel like I am in control, and I tend to get very attached to achieving that specific goal. So let’s talk about how I’ve learned to detach and understand why that is so important. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

Part of me thinks this episode is a little controversial just because of the title. I encourage you to listen to the whole episode so you can understand what it is. I’m talking about. Our need to try and live a life that is “all good” keeps us stuck, uncomfortable, and quite frankly, miserable when that is not what we’re meant for. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

It seems like the decisions about letting go of things, knowing what to let go of and when to let go of them is one of the hardest things for people to feel OK about doing. The times that I see the most personal gaslighting is around the decision to leave or let go. So let’s get specific to know what to let go of and when to do it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

It’s really easy for us to get caught up in the busyness of life; all the errands, appointments, work, & to do lists. But being caught up in the busyness makes it hard to be aware of what our body & intuition is telling us we need & when they’re telling us we need it. Which then makes us live in a tank that isn’t full. So what do we change so we can live with a full tank? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

We love to earn that badge of honor for working hard and making lots of sacrifices. Let’s dive into what hard work and sacrifice truly mean and how they get to support you in creating the life you want for yourself.

The transition from fantasy to anticipation (see previous episode on co-creation) actually involves 3 parts and today I want to break ‘em down and figure out which piece you need to do some work on so that you can start living with faith-full prayers and create the life you’ve been dreaming of. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

THAT happened. No matter what “that” was, something IS next. What happens when we get sucked into reliving the past or worrying about the future & why being present is the only place you can actually make changes & move forward from. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

Being able to love others starts by first learning to love yourself. But how do you do that? What does that even mean? Hint: it involves “going far away”. People often underestimate the importance of “going far away” when making big changes, to be able to find your truth, find yourself and especially when we’re seeking the ability to love ourselves. Whether you’re making small changes to a few habits or big life changes and going in the completely different direction, the far away part is critical. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support

Externalizing some thoughts that got stirred up in a recent conversation with a friend about being allowed to react verses being in reaction to something. The subtle difference is actually very powerful & may be the game changer you’re looking for in your self expression & alignment in life right now. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/butfirstcoffee/support
