Lola invites you into an examination and into sobriety with the belief system that informs your relationship with money. You will be asked to expose your commitments to lack, limitation, and scarcity - consider how those patterns are impacting you and those around you.Imagine moving on the planet with freedom, aliveness, and magnetism in relationship to money.

Lola and Kate invite you to bring greater awareness to your Body Intelligence (BQ) so that you may experience the essential ally that is always available right where you are.Kate shares that in the somatic approach you realize that the body is what signals the mind. As you tune into your body you will become more familiar with the body sensations and feeling states that are informing the mind. As you become aware of the brilliance of your Body Intelligence (BQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and Intellectual Intelligence (IQ) you have greater access to noticing the patterns of the body and mind when in a triggered and reactive response. Lola and Kate explore fear based responses to trauma as fight, flight, flee, and faint. They discuss the training your body went through in your family of origin as part of your early survival strategy. Lola reflects on the way her “fight” response shows up in her body when in conflict with her husband. Kate reflects on the way her “freeze” response shows up in her body. Kate shares that the somatic responses of the body are wisdom centers used to protect you. The opportunity is to bring greater awareness to your patterns.During a time of social distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic when anxiety and irritability may be amplified, Lola and Kate explore real time practices that you may begin leaning into right away. From dance, cooking, gardening, “vooing”, and meditation Kate offers solutions for you to integrate your body when experiencing fear.Lola concludes the episode with an open eye meditation inspired by her interview with Kate.

Tapping Into The Wisdom Of The Body: How To Feel Fear with Kate Hutson

In this episode, Lola leads a conversation with collaborator, coach, tech leader, and PhD Gentzy Franz about the challenges leaders are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gentzy references previous podcast episode Bring Awareness To Your Fear And Make Peace With Your Judgement where Lola describes the cycle of unconscious fear>control>judgment>condemnation. Lola and Gentzy reflect on the clients they’re working with and the patterns they’re observing as being amplified or exaggerated versions of already existing tendencies. However leaders were operating in advance of the pandemic it is pretty likely that that just got magnified.Lola and Gentzy offer the solution of self awareness as an interruption to the inertia of toxic fear leaders may find themselves in. As always, Lola shares personal experiences from her career to support you in knowing that you are not alone.This episode concludes with a recap from Lola on the power of noticing our tendencies. She suggests you notice your patterns as a means of activating choice. As you become more aware of your propensity you may begin to interrupt the ways of being that no longer serve you.For more information on Lola Wright, please visit her at www.lolawright.com.

Leading In Times Of Crisis: How To Feel Fear with Gentzy Franz

In this episode, Lola explores the discomfort that may be emerging within you as the United States approaches four weeks of “shelter in place” provisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lola invites you to notice how fear may manifest as a need for control, be expressed as judgement of others and be internalized as judgement of yourself. Lola invites you to bring greater awareness to the unconscious fear that may be cycling through you during this season of the unknown. This time on the planet is a holy disruption, something sacred is moving through the consciousness of humanity - a great awakening is underway.Lola suggests using this time for honest self reflection and personal transformation. Lola leans into the popular text, A Course In Miracles, as she reminds you that “the judger always feels judged”. Lola encourages getting honest about your intolerance of other people and how they may be navigating COVID-19.What parts of yourself do you not allow, do you deem intolerable and unacceptable? As you become more intimately aware of your judgements and then begin to notice the ways those judgements influence your perception of others, you may free yourself from the trap of condemnation. As your “judger” comes into greater awareness, allow yourself to experience compassion for the scared parts of you that seek control as a salve. Consider following Lola’s prompts and engaging in an “exile inventory”. This episode concludes with Lola leading a meditation on compassion to support you and those you meet. The practice of meditation is intended to provide a sense of deep relaxation and stillness.For more information on Lola Wright, please visit her at www.lolawright.com.

Bring Awareness To Your Fear And Make Peace With Your Judgement

Join Lola online for her four week course, Making Sense of the Moment, launching Thursday, April 9th with friend, coach, and tech executive Gentzy Franz, PhD. Register online. This episode announces the renaming of this podcast from And This Is Bodhi with Lola Wright to And This Is Lola Wright following Lola’s departure from Bodhi Center in March of 2020. After a longer than expected break between seasons Lola is back providing context and making sense of the global health crisis known as COVID-19 or Coronavirus. Lola invites listeners to consider that the global indicators for change long preceded the current pandemic. As one who interprets life through metaphor Lola suggests that listeners consider the learning that this time of discomfort and interruption provides.Lola refers to the “painbody” of humanity, a concept made popular by author and philosopher Eckhart Tolle. The reorganization of systems and structures is a necessary response to the current “painbody”. As a revered guide, Lola draws on author Julia Cameron’s practice of “morning pages” to tap into the subconscious mind during this collective time of stillness. Lola suggests that listeners commit to seven days of journaling at the onset of every day. She recommends beginning the day with curiosity and listening for what is coming into greater self awareness. This episode concludes with Lola leading a meditation asking the questions “how may this global paradigm shift be in service of the evolution of humanity?”, “how may this global paradigm shift be in service of my personal awakening?”, and “how am I being asked to grow?”. The practice of meditation is intended to provide a sense of deep relaxation and stillness.For more information on Lola Wright, please visit her at www.lolawright.com.

Lola’s Least Favorite Things

Join us in Chicago for House of Bodhi with Lola Wright at City Winery on January 7th. Visit bodhicenter.org for tickets!“We are in a great time of year to really tap into this collective consciousness that may oftentimes be known as holidays or holy days. There is a collective intention to be reflective this time of year. Most often when we have the experience of a vision unfulfilled, it’s because either we haven’t spent the necessary intention and reflection time to get clear on what it is we desire, and / or we don’t believe it’s possible.” The phrase “vision fulfilled” has been popping into host Lola Wright’s mind lately. She describes two personal experiences with fulfilled visions, then guides you through connecting with a larger vision for your own life. “There is some contribution that you are uniquely here to bring.” Recommended reading:  Spiritual Liberation by Michael Bernard Beckwith and The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen Cope.To financially support the on-going availability of our live events, classes and this very podcast, visit us at bodhicenter.org/giving, or text GIVE to 773-770-8577.
