Soul Conversations with Mia

Fear is created in our mind - sometimes for insignificant reasons and sometimes for very obvious reasons. either way, fears eventually become our external reality and those fears, whether they are real or imagined, are what hold us stuck and keep us from experiencing the life we desire. Fear is more powerful than failure because it creates limitation in life. And, just like our mind creates them, our mind can also minimize them, subdue them, and even overcome them. Life is meant to be about possibility NOT limitation - both of which are created by us. Thank you as always for listening.

This beautiful story/meditation comes from the book by Mary O'Malley called The Gift of our Compulsions.  Either sit back and listen, or take this beautiful story with you on a walk, as you are reminded how you started out perfect and learned to be 'not enough'.  I guarantee this will resonate with your inner child - and it will guide you on how to remember the perfection of who you are for your children and grandchildren.  I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did the first time I read it.

Part 3 of my wild and crazy trip to the Savannah Region of Northern Ghana to support a group of 600 women farmers by telling their story to the outside world.   It is a story of resilience - both theirs and mine as I migrate back and forth over the thin line between brave and stupid.  Humbled and angry.  Awe struck and homesick.

A person's quality of life, their mindset, and their relationship with money are all a direct reflection of their priorities and personal boundaries. Without these 2 important structures, a person tends to live a life where the world happens to them rather than them dictating how THEY want to experience the world.  In a world full of busyness, there is no greater time to establish and declare what your priorities and your boundaries will be - AND THEN, never compromise them.  This is a powerful step in being the leader of the life that you desire rather than a life you are settling for. 

What is human design? Human design is a self-exploration system that combines ancient and modern beliefs.  It draws on traditions like the I-Ching, the kabbalah, the chakra system, and astrology to help you understand what makes you unique.  If you are familiar or curious about the concept of Human Design and want to understand it more, this is an amazing conversation with a Human Design Coach from Olympia, WA.  Join myself and Aypril Porter for a fascinating conversation around this ancient wisdom and how it pertains to our modern world.  Aypril can be reached through her website www.ayprilporter.com.

As one year slowly comes to a close and all the promise of a new year is just around the corner, it's the perfect time to reflect, acknowledge, celebrate, and refocus.  This episode walks you through a very powerful exercise around acknowledging and celebrating all that you accomplished in the past year; reflecting on anything you said you would do but may not have completed; and then using this information to get really clear on what is most important moving forward along with what you are willing to let go of. Rather than setting a New Year's Resolution this year, why not set a powerful intention that has no ceiling and then allow your goals to live within this limitless container.  The possibilities are much grander when you create your vision from this place.  Enjoy and thank you as always for listening, sharing, subscribing and following.  

This episode tackles the complicated relationship between goals and New Year's Resolutions or, the 'Monday' trap.  There is a reason that New Year's Resolutions have such a high failure rate and part of it is because we set ourselves up for failure by buying into the trap of starting on.....whatever day it is.  There is only now - what are you going to do today to get to where you want to go.  This episode talks about priorities, clarity, intentions vs. goals, limiting beliefs, commitment and so much more.  It is meant to inspire you to start whatever if it you want to start - TODAY and to create it from a place of intention rather than goals and willpower.  Enjoy, and as always, please remember to follow, subscribe and share so you never miss an episode.  Thank you!

This powerful and humbling conversation with Simon Rinne shines a light on how men and mental health have long been a difficult combination to address publicly.  Simon shares insights into OCD, anxiety, depression and burnout and how difficult it has been for men to admit and talk about their struggles with these complex issues.  He talks about his story, his struggles, his insights, and his recovery in the hopes of inspiring others to talk about their mental health - regardless of their gender.   His greatest lesson to date is that it is okay to not be okay.   Simon has his own podcast series called Mindful Men and you can find it on your favourite podcast platform.  He can also be found on most social media platforms or at https://www.mindful-men.com.au 

GASLIGHTING is a subtle and dangerous type of manipulation that has a person questioning their own sanity or reality.  It's a form of psychological control in which one person attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in someone else's mind.  Typically they are seeking to gain power or control over the person by distorting their reality and forcing them to question their own judgment, sanity or intuition.  In this episode, we look at some of the common gaslighting phrases, techniques, and examples so you can understand if you are a victim of it.  Enjoy and please remember to follow, subscribe and download so you never miss an episode.

Difficult conversations are often confused with conflict or confrontation - and it doesn't have to be that way.  With practice and awareness we can navigate difficult conversations with ease and grace rather than conflict and upset.  It requires an understanding of the power of words and triggers as well as the chemical cocktails of different types of conversations.  This episode shines a light on over 10 tips to guide you to a successful conversation.  Enjoy - and remember to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode

This inspiring and eye opening conversation with Nikki reminds us to see the humanity before the human.  As the CFO of a non-profit organization that supports people experiencing homelessness, she has learned the power of no-judgement AND she is teaching her two young children the same.  Nikki was a lawyer in corporate America but the work left her feeling empty until she found an entirely different way to utilize her education.  She is compassionate, determined, resilient, and dedicated to being of service to others.  Enjoy and remember to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. 

This informative and authentic conversation with Olivia Besanger reminds us that Busy isn't always a necessity - sometimes it's a choice.  And the choice to be busy can come at a heavy cost.   We explore the why behind busy; the doing vs. the being of busy; how our busy is being passed on to our children; how busy transcends socio-economic demographics; and so much more.  Olivia has been on her own journey of growth and exploration and has happily come to a place of calm contemplation in lieu of busy.   She is adventurous, determined, wise, and funny.  As always, please enjoy, follow and subscribe.  And, if you'd like to be a guest on my podcast series, reach out to chat.

Busy is a self-administered label that keeps us from connecting to self.  Sometimes it's a necessity and sometimes it's a choice.  In this episode we explore the addiction to busy and to to-do lists and what this is in service of.  We also explore how we can balance busy with awareness and self-care.  

Peace is an inside job.  One that requires awareness and letting go.  BUT, it's not a passive job.  Peace takes practice and awareness and choice - day in and day out and it's a lifelong process that has no destination.  If we think we have gotten 'there', then we stop growing and thriving and we revert back to surviving.  Peace has no expectations but expectations are striving to find peace.  In this episode we explore the connection between peace and expectations so we can let go of one and embrace the other.  Enjoy.

This episode explores the complex and complicated relationship women have with their bodies.  It looks at the genetic factor, the repeating patterns, the external influences, and what all of this is costing us.  It's a unique perspective on why we hold onto our weight like a cape and why we know what to do, we simply choose not to.  The foundation of freedom is always choice and this episode creates a new awareness around the choices we are making and why.  If you are wanting details on how to join the next Detox your Mind to Lose the Weight session, please email me at lifecoach@miajerritt.com or DM me on any of my social media platforms. 

Are you frustrated with not getting the thing you desire?  Or perhaps manifesting crickets?  Or the opposite of what you desire?  What if there was a reason for this and you could shift from a place of lack to a place of abundance?  This episode explains what manifesting is and how it works.  What the spiritual laws of manifesting are and the important steps to remember when you are mature manifesting.  You won't want to miss this episode!

In everything in life, we have the opportunity to choose from Love or Fear.  Ego strategies are generally rooted in fear and awareness strategies are based on love.  This powerful episode looks at how, why and when the ego is formed and what it costs us as we navigate life.  It also looks at how we can detach from ego and explore the antidotes to all of the ego characteristics.  From this place, you can choose to come from fear or love; ego or awareness.  

This incredibly informative and exciting conversation with Heidi Lyne introduces us to a remarkable condition called Developmental Trauma Disorder or DTD.  Heidi shares her story of how she came to be an authority in it and what she has created because of it. It's another window into the opportunities that are available to us as we work on our journey of healing.  Heidi's greatest breakthrough was the realization that she WASN'T fully healed even when she thought she was. She is resilient, courageous, intuitive and very knowledgeable, and, not surprisingly, she is calling this decade of life - SERVICE.

The word authentic has become the latest buzz word in the world of coaching, personal growth, spirituality and leadership - to name a few.  And, like any word that gets over-used and out of context, it becomes watered down and insipid. Unfortunately, the world of personal growth and coaching has become a bit like polyester...cheap and fake - and the word authentic has become the latest costume people wear.  Here I will touch base on the power and the possibility of true authenticity.  

Need I say more?!  Families can be our greatest source of love and our greatest source of pain.  They are also one of our richest sources of growth.  Because the emotions we feel for family are often magnified due to expectations and social norms, we find ourselves compromising, bending and acting in ways we wouldn't otherwise allow.  Why is this?  This episode explores the why, as well as the how-to, so we can go on to accept, forgive and grow. 

This inspiring and courageous conversation with Marc Robillard gives us a first-hand peek at how vulnerability opens up connection, opportunity and insights for both men and women.  In a predominantly male world, Marc shares how learning to access his vulnerability inspired others to access their potential.  It reminds us how vulnerability is an act of courage, not weakness.  And, regardless of whether we are a man or a woman, vulnerability is the portal to connection, compassion, insight, wisdom and love.  Marc is curious, determined, motivated, open, funny and COURAGEOUS.  Thank you Marc for using your voice to inspire others.  

Most of us live in two highly charged and competing realities.  The reality we are CURRENTLY living and the DESIRED reality we wish to be living.  There are many aspects to this human experience worth exploring starting with the fears (or walls) we create which obstruct our yellow brick road and keep us from experiencing our Oz.  These walls are created by us, in our minds, through our experiences in life.  And, they create our current reality and our current story.  What if there was a way around these walls and we hold the key?  This episode explores how and why we create our own obstacles and the steps we can take to remove the obstacles.  We control our destiny.  We control our beliefs.  We create our fears.  Let's break this concept apart so we can open up a window in our walls and see what's on the other side. 

This wise and spiritual conversation with Dawn Elgin reminds us of the resilience of the human experience.  She reminds us of the importance of, 'YOU BE YOU' and that your YOUNESS is what matters.  She reflects on the power of the ego when it's left unchecked and the potential that is available when we surrender to that which we cannot control. Her greatest breakthrough is the realization that she IS better - even if 'BETTER' looks different than it did before.   Dawn is funny, wise, courageous, resilient, and determined, and this decade of life she is calling - REALIZATION.

This inspirational and moving conversation with Suzanne Slattery reminds us that that we are not alone. In our darkest and most difficult times, we have a community willing to step up and step in, if we allow it.  Her greatest breakthrough was the realization that she gets to choose what her relationships look like - not the other way around.  Suzanne is courageous, resilient, independent and strong, and this decade of life she is calling - RETURNING HOME.

This fun-loving and inspiring conversation with Josie Boulding reminds us that energy is a currency and we can harness it or we can hold it stuck.  When we allow energy to flow through us, nothing is permanent - especially painful experiences.  Her greatest breakthrough was the realization that she is truly SMART and our voice is more important than our physical appearance.  She is resilient, adventurous, courageous and funny, and this decade of life she is calling - EMBODIMENT. 

Weight loss, body image, body shaming and food relationships are such complicated and highly charged topics.  Many people spend their whole lives at war with their bodies.  Succumbing to every weight loss program, tool, gimmick, pill and strategy - only to find themselves right back at the start each time.  So, what if there was a better way to lose weight and it had nothing to do with any of this.  What if it had to do with intention rather than painful goals.  What if it was about what you already know and have forgotten.  This episode will hammer some cracks into the flaws of the weight loss game.   We are in charge of our lives - even if we think we aren't. 

Why are goals and New Years Resolutions so difficult to stick to and why do we keep declaring the same goals with the same results?  This episode talks about the difference between goals and mindset along with the difference between willpower and intention.  When we create a goal from a foundation of intention, the whole concept shifts from pushing and striving to flowing.  I share a lot of insight around how to create the same goal from a solid foundation so the outcome is permanent.  Enjoy.

This episode will give you 8 important and practical steps to help you access and hone your gift of intuition.  Intuition is natural and we are all born with it, we just learn to silence it through the process of life experiences.  This episode will help you to awaken the gift of intuition so you can start living a bigger and more synchronistic life.  

How many of you are running around madly trying to figure out your purpose?  Feeling like nothing can change until you figure it out.  Well, this episode will shed a light on your purpose, your gifts, your legacy and your transformation.  I share with you how my transformation started through my divorce and went on to be a process of unlearning and remembering the greatness of who I was before the world told me otherwise.  We are inherently whole, perfect and great.  It's just time to remember.

Episode #2 covers 'The Chaos, The Compromise, The Questions, The Change'.  I believe my marriage is many people's marriage story - on repeat.  It was full of insecurities, dysfunction, immaturity, frustration, compromise and heart break.  It was also a fertile playground for growth, expansion, elevation, awareness, and change.  I wouldn't change who I married or when I married him because it made me who I am and it gave me my beautiful son.  To wish anything else would be a futile example of bittersweet manifestation.  I got what I was supposed to get when I was supposed to get it.  And it led me back to who I was meant to be.  Connect with me to work together via my bio link in IG & FB or www.miajerritt.com and lifecoach@miajerritt.com.  Let's take the first next step together.  It will be a blast!

Chapters 1 and 2 of my early life are captioned, 'The Imprint and The Chaos'.  This is my story, which is also your story, just the details are different. As soon as we were born we began building the box the world expected us to grow up and live in. AND, we have a choice to remain in the box, or, to release ourselves from the box through the power of our human oneness called connection.  We are all the same - it's just our human experiences that are different.
