   Ep 137: The One Where I Pressed Pause

   Episode 138: The One Where I Pressed Pause What happens when something you once loved starts to feel like just another thing on your to-do list? What if you're allowed to let it go, change your mind, and make space for something new? In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm pressing pause on the podcast for a little while, what I'm learning about letting go of things that no longer fit, and how we can move into our next chapter with less regret and more trust. Whether it's a project, a dream, a commitment, or an old version of yourself, sometimes the thing you wanted at one point in your life isn't what you want anymore. And that's okay. We also talk about the identity shifts so many women experience in their 40s and beyond. Maybe you still want to feel strong, healthy, and good in your body, but you don't have the same drive to do more, accomplish more, and fill every minute of your day. Maybe you're craving more peace, calm, and simplicity. I'll share one of my favorite journaling practices for connecting with what you truly want, using gratitude and scripting to imagine your desired life as though it's already happening. There's some fascinating psychology behind how this practice can influence what we notice, how we feel, and the choices we make. Because creating a life you love doesn't always require another plan, another goal, or another thing to accomplish. Sometimes it starts with getting clear on how you want to feel, releasing what no longer serves you, and allowing yourself to take the next step when you're ready. In this episode, we explore: Giving yourself permission to pause, walk away, and change your mind Releasing regret and the feeling that you should have done things differently Why your priorities and desires might change in your 40s and beyond Wanting to feel good in your body without making everything about the number on the scale Using gratitude journaling and scripting to connect with the life you want How our focus can influence the opportunities we notice and the choices we make Letting yourself feel good before all your external circumstances have changed Finding the simple habits that help you feel strong, grounded, and at home in your body This is my last episode for a little while, but you can still find ways to work with me through my Lift Library workout membership, Within: A Return to Self, and my 1:1 intuitive coaching and mentorship. Thank you for listening, for being here, and for allowing this podcast to be a place where we can explore what it means to trust ourselves a little more. And remember, you're allowed to let go of what no longer feels right and make room for what comes next.

   Ep 137: But What Do I Want?

   But What Do I Actually Want? Last week, we talked about asking for what you want. But what happens when you're not actually clear on what you want? Sometimes the problem isn't that we're afraid to ask. Sometimes we've gotten so disconnected from our own knowing that we don't even know what we'd ask for. We think we should want certain things. We keep wanting what we've always wanted because we've put so much time into it. We want something because we think it will serve us down the line. Or we know what we want, but it seems impossible and we don't understand how we would ever get there. So in this episode, we're slowing all of that down and asking: But what do I actually want? I talk about the ways we can override our deeper knowing with what looks good on the surface, what other people want, or what we think we should want. Ultimately, you are allowed to want what you want. You can want little things and big things. You can want something practical or completely unexpected. You can make a plan while leaving room for life to surprise you. And sometimes what you want doesn't have to be deep at all. Maybe it's just fun. Maybe it's the experience. Maybe it's a side plot. Maybe it's leading you toward knowing what you want next. You're allowed to do things you enjoy. You're meant to feel good. And you're allowed to want things simply because you want them. _____________________________________________________________________ Show Notes HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/blog/137) Resources 21-Day Self-Guided Journey Within somatic and breathwork practices for nervous system regulation, three minutes a day HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/within) Lift Library for Workouts HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/mini-coaching) Peace & Prosperity Coaching HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/Peace) Loved This Episode?

   Ep 136: It’s Safe to Ask for What You Want

   It's Safe To Ask For What You Want How often do we decide the answer is going to be no before we ever ask? Maybe we assume we're asking too much. Maybe we're worried about what someone will think of us. Maybe we convince ourselves something isn't possible, so we don't even give ourselves the opportunity to find out. Maybe we assume the answer is no, and that feels hard to hear... This week, I'm talking about feeling safe enough to handle the yes, the no, and giving yourself permission to ask for what you want. I share a couple of everyday examples that reminded me how often we can make decisions for other people without realizing we're doing it. Sometimes, all it takes to create another possibility is being willing to say, “Is there another option?” But this isn't about always getting what you want. It's about being willing to ask for what you want while also being okay with the possibility of hearing no. A no doesn't mean you shouldn't have asked. It doesn't mean you were asking for too much, that you were wrong, or that things aren't working out. Sometimes a no is simply information. It gives you something new to work with. We also talk about how easily we can turn someone else's response into a judgment about ourselves, especially when we're already questioning whether we're allowed to want what we want in the first place. I'm exploring what it means to: Ask for what you want without feeling entitled to receive it Stop deciding “no” for other people before you've even asked Let someone else have their own thoughts and reactions without making them mean something about you See a no as information rather than rejection Give yourself permission to want more, ask for more, and explore another possibility Trust yourself enough to handle whatever answer comes back And I come back to a phrase I've been thinking about a lot: It is safe to have it all. For me, that doesn't mean I'll get everything I ask for. It means it's safe to desire something. It's safe to ask for it. It's safe for the answer to be yes. It's safe for the answer to be no. It's safe to feel disappointed. And it's safe to keep believing there is another possibility. Because self-trust isn't knowing you'll always get what you want. It's trusting yourself with whatever answer comes back. So if there's something you've been wanting but haven't asked for yet, maybe this is your reminder: It's safe to ask for what you want. _____________________________________________________________________ Show Notes HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/blog/136) Resources 21-Day Self-Guided Journey Within somatic and breathwork practices for nervous system regulation, three minutes a day HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/within) Lift Library for Workouts HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/mini-coaching) Peace & Prosperity Coaching HERE (https://www.dorothymcgatlin.com/Peace) Loved This Episode?
