Kellie back this week with not so much a quote but a saying that has meant a lot throughout her life. We're sure you've heard this one and probably said yourself on more than one occasion.

Admit it: you love a good inspirational quote, do you not? Sometimes you hear that quote that sums up exactly how you're feeling. Sometimes you hear that quote that lights a fire under you. Sometimes you hear that quote that resonates so deeply you can't forget it. And sometimes, you hear a quote and think, "Ooooh that's gooood", and then forget all about it as you go about your day. Our intention for this episode (and the next 3 episodes for that matter!) is: To share some inspirational quotes that have held meaning for us in our lives... AND How they've impacted our lives as we put them into practice. Kellie up this week for part 2 of our inspirational quotes. The week is one I'm sure you've heard before, in fact I'm sure we've mentioned it on the Podcast before. This is one that Kellie reminds herself of all the time. Especially today as it's the anniversary of her fathers passing. What are some powerful, inspirational quotes that you've applied to your life? How have they impacted you?

How do you break free from binge eating? We can hear it now... "Are you telling me I can eat without shame, guilt, or worrying about 'un-doing the damage'? Yes. Yes we are. Here at Permission to Explore we often speak of letting go of the overthinking, perfectionism, and self-judgement...

Have you experienced 'self-sabotage' before? Hands up over here! How do you stop self-sabotaging? Well, we're going to begin to tackle that right here today. We're looking at this from a few different aspects: Physical, Mental, and Emotional. For instance, how often do you find yourself saying, "I can't do XYZ"? What makes you believe that? Did you hear that from someone at some point? Did you try it once and not feel successful? Or perhaps it's simply uncomfortable, therefore, you think it's not for you. Sometimes, the belief is the very thing that perpetuates the problem. Hence, getting in your own way! Some of the specific ways we see/hear from our clients (and ourselves): Talking about/saying "I can't do xyz" as a way to avoid doing xyz. Scheduling! "My schedule is soooo full!" And then immediately filling it up when there's some free space. "I'm exhausted. I'm so tired all the time." But not allowing yourself to rest. Then, there are the emotional patterns and beliefs driving those physical behaviors and circumstances. ...which are simply another way of getting in your own way... Because you are the creator of your beliefs! Are you ready to dive in? Let's go explore! (P.S.: We apologize for the back ground noise in this episode: The puppy and the toddler wanted in on this one! #life ) Want to connect with us daily?

If you're anything like most of the women we work with, you may find yourself saying things like, "I feel like I've lost myself". We promise, you haven't lost yourself. You've simply been disconnected from yourself. So this week, we thought we'd try something a little different: We're going to ask questions to each other! We have no idea what questions each other has prepared, but each question is designed to help you reflect and provide insight to you about yourself, your patterns, your ways of thinking. Take these questions, apply them to you, and see what develops. Then reach out, and let us know what you discovered! Instagram: @permissiontoexploreretreats Facebook: @permissiontoexploreretreats Email: permissiontoexploreretreats@gmail.com If you've found value in this episode - leave us a review and share! It will help us reach more people, creating more expansion and helping more people shedding their suffering and experiencing more peace and joy. And who couldn't use more of that?!…

Whether it's a physical ailment, an emotional ailment, the solution is the same. There is ONE thing you must do. And it's far more simple than you think. But, like most things, we humans complicate it... We complicate it with our thoughts, our attachments to our emotions, our attachments to our thoughts about our emotions! Because: You Are Where Your Attention Is. In this episode we're diving into some of the physical and the emotional with personal examples and the common things we hear from those we work with. Plus, of course, we're going to offer some tangible tools to implement. Because information is one thing, and application is another! Are you interested in learning more about what you heard here?

If you're anything like most of the women we work with, the answer is: OFTEN! In this episode, we're examining some of the nuances behind this feeling. Because, like many things in life, there's the problem you think you have, and then there's the problem. We're approaching this episode as a follow up to last week's: Do, Delegate, Delete. (If you haven't listened to it yet, you can find it here.) If you're like us, Do, Delegate, Delete sounds wonderful! Yet, implementation can be a different beast... So this week, we're examining some subconscious drivers or beliefs that may be getting in the way. We're discussing: Commitment, Boundaries, Resentment, Overcommitment, Control, Insecurity, Avoidance, Priorities and Prioritizing them, Creating a commitment list, and a sneaky Energy Suck that may be getting in the way. Woo! This is a full one! Let's dive in and explore!…

You've probably heard this phrase before... For those of you who are looking at what didn't work in 2021, For those of you who are looking at what you want to create in 2022, but aren't quite sure how to get there, For those of you who are IN IT and saying, "Ummm, this isn't sustainable", THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU! Do: What do You Have to do? (Two very important words there...) Delegate: What can you hand off to others? Delete: What can you get rid of completely? We promise, each of those can be implemented in your day to day.…

Last week, Kellie discussed the pros and cons of starting her new health related routine - a physical undertaking. How many of you resonate with what she shared? This week, Lindsey is sharing the pros and cons of starting her new endeavor - and it's little more...abstract. More creative. Any time we undertake a new thing, we're going to find pros and cons - costs and rewards - and they aren't always the same things. The confidence or the challenges may change depending on the undertaking. Some aspects makes be easier than others...how do you navigate that? For Lindsey, the biggest challenge has revealed some interesting patterns: She is very uncomfortable when things are 'easy' for her. Con: She manufactures a struggle - a bit of an addiction to struggle and being on the struggle bus. Have you heard a voice in your head telling you 'it's not ok for something to be easy'? A pro: leaning into creativity for fun has created more creativity in business. Another pro: using creativity for good (writing) versus evil (anxiety and worry). One thing to consider: When you say yes to one thing, what are you saying no to? Another thing to consider: How long have you been contemplating this activity? What's causing the resistance that's keeping you from starting? The biggest pro AND con of starting any new thing: Recognizing the patterns! And we promise: You're ok. It's ok. You're ok.

It's January! Perhaps you've found yourself starting a new Health routine. Kellie is sharing in this episode her journey with her new health routine. And like anything, there are - costs and benefits - pros and cons - costs and rewards. Take a listen and see if you resonate with any of it. And hopefully you'll take away something useful that will help you on your journey too!…

Hello hello friends! We're here, we're still in January, and we're still taking a look at those common thoughts that come with this time of year: Gotta get fit! Gotta get healthy! New Year, New Me! Now, we're a fan of those first two...but how about New Year, Best Me instead? ...but that's a totally different topic... This week we're diving into our Health Science pillar - health tends to be top of mind this time of year. Have you fully considered how your health is impacting your life? Have you fully considered how the words you use, subconsciously, are impacting your health? In this moment, right now, how are you taking care of your health? We want to say this upfront: This episode is NOT about shame or guilt or judgement - so please, let go of that, put the defenses down, and listen with an open heart and mind. As Kellie said, 'Stop worrying about what you haven't done - let's focus on what you can do Now.' Are you willing to take a step back and honestly assess where you're at with your health? Lindsey shares a few facts and numbers facing America right now - are you one of them? For example: 1 in 5 Americans are diabetic; 1 in 3 Americans are pre-diabetic but don't know it. What is it costing you to not take an honest look at where you're at with your health? And what are you gaining by doing so? Kellie shares a bit about why she AVOIDED doing a new type of exercise and what helped her decide to make the change anyway. Take note of the energy and thoughts behind what you're doing or not doing. How is your level of self love or self respect being reflected in the things you do or don't do? What are you committed to? Circumstances or Possibility? Anger or Joy? Reframe from a Doing mindset to a Being mindset. If there's something in here that you'd like some help with Reach Out! We're here to just that!

Happy New Year!! It's the first new 2022 Podcast! This week we're opening up and sharing our Intentions for 2022. We're getting vulnerable here! We know that the work we do requires vulnerability, so we're walking our talk in this episode. What does '2022 Intentions' mean? Intentions are a little different than 'resolutions'. Resolutions can bring this feeling of force, constriction, restriction, or even shame or guilt. Intentions are a more powerful, expansive approach. We're also guessing that our intentions may be a little different than the types of 'resolutions' you're used to hearing... Things you'll hear in this podcast: The intentions you set - they don't have to be physical, doing goals. Lindsey's intention for 2022: Letting Go. Kellie's intention for 2022: Trusting Myself. Plus, we're looking at the *many opportunities in our lives* we will have to navigate these intentions.
