Joyful Living

What does it mean to really live in alignment and flow, especially when fear and anxiety show up? Calli shows us how to make peace with the triggers in our lives, especially to experience a more empowered and peaceful response.

If you've ever found yourself surprised by your reactions to things happening in your life or if you've ever felt like you just can't seem to get your head above the water (or at least not for very long), today's episode of Joyful Living is for you! Special guest, Tiffany Garvin, joins us with some powerful strategies and insights on how to find greater healing in our bodies, minds and spirits to expand our capacity to live more alive and in JOY.

How is your energy level right now? So often we're simply going through the motions in our everyday lives, but when we stop for a moment, we notice we feel tired, uninspired, and even bored. It's easy to brush this off as "normal" or to believe that "this is just what life looks like," but the truth is that this is all symptoms of being out of ALIVENESS.

In a day when more and more women are owning their Truth and creating with greater intention, we face some fascinating dynamics and struggles in remaining authentically in joy. With social media it's become even easier to compare ourselves and what we're creating with everyone else while all to often ending up feeling like we're lacking. These vicious cycles can cramp our creativity and limit our brilliance and genius being expressed in the world. Thaís Sky and Bri Seeley join us today on Joyful Living to discuss how to remain firmly rooted in our own flavor of joy, while also finding greater joy in coming together as women.

How do we experience joy when life situations are INTENSE + UNCOMFORTABLE... even painful? If the heat has been turned up on your life lately, find solace here because today I'm sharing some powerful insights and simple practices to support increasing your JOY NOW (regardless of what's happening in your world).

If your heart has been calling to you to create something big + brilliant and maybe you are considering starting a business or wanting to take your existing business to the next level, this powerful episode of Joyful Living is for you! Joanna Turner joins us to dish on the importance of following our intuition in all aspects of our lives and businesses, as well as leaning into ENJOYING in the process of creating.

It’s easy to devalue all we have to offer the world. It’s even easier to tell ourselves that while our dreams aren’t being realized today, we’ll get there eventually. And then the years just keep rolling by. Life continues moving forward, not stopping for us to have a chance to shift and get ahead. Sometimes to really get into the life work that’s been calling us from our heart and soul, we get to make BIG + COURAGEOUS shifts. And sometimes (most of the time) not everyone in our world will understand or cheer us on.

One of the most life-changing concepts to understand is that our stories determine our reality. The stories we tell ourselves about the situations we find ourselves in as well as our stories about our relationships and every other part of our lives create the lens that we perceive everything through. When we understand the power of our stories, we recognize our power to CHANGE them when they are not supporting the reality we desire to experience.

The art and practice of living joyfully requires one crucial element: CHOICE. There is nothing that kills joy faster than believing we are not at choice, especially in how to respond to our life circumstances. In today's episode of "Joyful Living" we dive in to choosing joy in all areas of our lives and what this actually looks like (the good, the bad, and the ugly). One of the powerful principles we bring as our ally in this conversation is that a miracle truly is a shift in perception. Our perceptions frame our reality, our experiences and even our daily joy. So what happens when life is messy or it feels impossible to choose joy?

One of the most overlooked aspects of joyful living in our culture is the fact that joyful living comes from within. So often we think joy is going to come as a result of exterior circumstances. Rainbeau Mars joins us for a very special episode of Joyful Living to discuss her insights and experiences with cultivating internal peace and joy.

As a society we are growing tired of getting sold the next BIG THING. We're growing apathetic and disinterested in the search for the magic bullet, the secret pill... the Holy Grail. Why? Because our hearts have been broken too many times. We're sold told by experts that if we just take these "3 steps" or do "these 5 key things" that our problems will be solved and our life will be amazing.

In celebration of the 50th episode of the Joyful Living Podcast, I invited listeners to join the conversation on a LIVE call with me. Everyone came ready to dive in and explore the practice of “living joyfully” more deeply. It was beautiful!

The concept of "balance" has almost become a swear word in our society, thrown out as a total myth. There are so many voices out there telling women to just give up on balance ever happening. However, what if balance really IS possible? And what if there are actual, simply, proven strategies to achieve and create it? Dr. Mariza Snyder joins us on this special episode of Joyful Living for a powerful and eye-opening discussion about the nuts and bolts of creating greater balance and JOY.

In many of our past discussions we've looked at the importance of creating in flow in our lives and how this can create greater freedom and joy. However, as I've been deep in my own experience with this principle and have heard from several of you with questions about this process, I've identified a few CRUCIAL elements that are needed to support flow and will create greater freedom. Today's Joyful Living Podcast episode connects the dots and deepens the conversations of "flow" and "freedom" to take us more clearly into FREEDOM + JOY.

I feel as if I've just found + tapped into the Holy Grail of Joyful Living! GOODNESS this is SUCH a game-changer in my world! Excited to share these powerful insights with you in the latest episode of the Joyful Living Podcast!

Goodness! I am so excited to share this passionate, joy-filled episode of Joyful Living with Ben Lee + Ione Skye Lee, two people whose love and light has inspired my own life deeply. We discussed treasured nuggets like how to "deepen into love" and give our children a spiritual and psychological compass to arm them to for the hard choices in life. We also looked in depth at some of the common distractions from joy, as well as ways to open up more fully to the joy that surrounds us each day.

In this day and age it seems like the sky is the limit for women. More than any other time in history, we have greater freedoms and opportunities than ever before. Are things perfect? Absolutely not. Have we made significant progress? ABSOLUTELY. With this progress, many of us are feeling (& have felt since the day we were born) the itch to create something bigger, to follow our hearts, and to endeavor on our dreams. However, this can bring up a WHIRL of emotions, insecurities, guilts and fears. The intensity can be so much that so many women still play so small and still aren't living each day fully alive and empowered. Why is this?

Today's Joyful Living Podcast episode dives deeply into the hunger that dwells within each of us, as well as how to respond. We also look more deeply at what "joyful living" actually is and how many of our current structures and strategies that promise "happiness" can actually be a MAJOR part of the distraction away from happiness/joy.

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." - Albert Camus The time has come for us to live more LIBERATED. Today we discuss that which is limiting our capacity to experience joy: our current state of mental/emotional health. While many of us may not struggle with intense mental/emotional imbalance, whatever is happening within is coloring our outside world.

Recently I had the joy of traveling on a dream trip to Ireland and England with my soul sister, Kelly King Anderson. Our trip was absolutely EXQUISITE and we are still savoring the joy. Along with all of this, we returned home (to a bit of a rough re-entry back into life, to say the least) and absolutely baffled about how to express and honor our joy. Kelly joins me on this special episode of Joyful Living to discuss the challenges of receiving and sharing joy, as well as some powerful insights into how to create our dreams.
