In our newest episode, we are waking up to our mental exhaustion and applying tools to find rest in all areas: spiritual, mental, creative, and sensory. We are hopeful to untuck the idea that there are moments of rest we haven’t tapped into yet . We are going to ask the question, where are we not resting? Where are we tiring ourselves out in moments we could find the sacred pause? The restful ease of knowing we can put our thinking minds down and attempt to rest in that space of simply being? Through this practice, could we heal our mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion? We supply the tools to help us all find out how to practice to get the much needed healing and rest we all deserve.

How are you feeling today? Are you grateful, in fear, overwhelmed, feeling anxious, depressed, happy? Or maybe some other list of feelings entirely! Identifying emotions is the first step in making space for them. The more we allow our feelings and emotions to be here the less power they have to control and overwhelm us. Can we allow our feelings to teach us? In this episode, we share our feelings and experiences and then the tools we are using to make peace with our current reality. Join us!

How To Be Courageous
This week on Pretty Spiritual Podcast, we're talking about how to be courageous. For so many of us, the idea of courage makes us think of alliance and bravery, the absence of fear. But it turns out in practice, it looks pretty different. So, what is courage? It's not the absence of fear. Courage means we do what we need to do despite the fear. Join the fun as we talk about how to have courage to face the life that's right in front of us one moment at a time. We'll share about where courage is alive in each of our lives. This includes courage required to live our fullest lives, to be present with our own experience, and to love ourselves exactly as we are.
