Sandra Goldmark has written a new book, Fixation, where she invites us to have a simpler, healthier, more sustainable relationship with our stuff. Her philosophy of stuff: “Have good stuff (not too much), mostly reclaimed. Care for it. Pass it on.” Sandra offers guidance to both individuals and businesses. She shows us how to bring maintenance, care and stewardship back into our lives and the economy.

Our home affects, and reflects, our mental and emotional states. It is a reactive environment. Living in a well-designed, thoughtfully arranged, clean home can help counter the chaos of life.

The home, like each of us, is always in process. The continuous journey of homemaking reflects both who we are and where we are in our lives. When we take care of our home, we take care of ourselves.

If you are ready to step into a new paradigm around homemaking, this episode is for you!

Is your heightened sensitivity a source of stress, anxiety or exhaustion? If so, it’s time to take ownership of your energy field. This is particularly critical if you’re in a helping profession or in a toxic work environment.

Managing your energy field is an act of power. Learning how to do this is essential for anyone who is intuitive, empathic or highly sensitive. Otherwise you will feel overrun by your environment and your intuitive gifts.

If you are ready to own your energetic space and take care of yourself energetically, listen in!

Spiritual energy is a sustainable resource. The connection we have with our inner spirit is a source of motivation and strength. It also provides a sense of purpose and direction. We can lean on our spiritual connection to guide and sustain us in all matters.

Coaching is a modality for growth and transformation. Coaching uses some techniques from therapy, but it’s more goal oriented and less pathological than therapy.

Working with a coach can renew your sense of freedom, power, passion and joy. More importantly perhaps, it’s fun! This is one of the least highlighted aspects about coaching. Working with a coach is an uplifting experience.

Stress is a part of life. There are so many kinds - financial stress, work stress, relationship stress, health stress, family stress and so on. Our relationship with stress often goes unexamined. If we embrace stress as an opportunity, we can expand through it instead of collapse under it. Listen to this episode if you’re ready to do just that!

Nature provides medicine for every illness that the environment creates. To keep our bodies healthy, we need to receive and allow in the medicine that nature provides. And not only when we are ill, but also when we are well so our systems continue operating in the best possible way. It’s a form of self care to consistently give our bodies the benefit of what nature provides.

Attending to your body is one way to manage your personal energy.

One resource that you can use to upgrade the state of your body and mind is resistance stretching.

Resistance stretching is more than casual stretching. It’s a healing modality, and not a superficial one. The results and regenerative effects are real and profound. It can also be used to enhance athletic performance with immediate effects.
