EP180: Your Nature is to Thrive with Joe Bailey

Amanda Dorolek recently came across this podcast and my books and videos. To say that things are opening up for her is a massive understatement. She’s watching old beliefs and identities fall away. Her relationships are beginning to transform. How she sees anything and everything is changing.  Although Amanda is no doubt in the beginnings The post EP179: A New Listener Interviews Me! appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Surprise! It’s a bonus episode! This episode is a playback of a webinar I held this week about having a totally new, fresh experience of the holidays. I talk about thriving through this holiday season, not weighed down by over-eating, over-drinking, or over-spending habits that you’ll try to compensate for in January; stress, pressure, people-pleasing, and The post Bonus Holiday Episode!

Birds don’t know how to fly or build a nest. They just fly and build nests. And we don’t know how to make it through life, make decisions, take action, feel better, learn new things, or change. Those things just happen. When we think we need to know how, we’re missing the fact that life The post EP178: Thoughts Don’t Cause or Interfere With–they Accompany appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

In many ways, Sarah was the classic overachiever, always excelling in academics, music, and her creative pursuits. Like so many of us, she learned to do what others’ expected of her rather than following her own desires. The weight of that constant effort and pressure took many tolls, including anxiety and eating disorders.  Then Sarah The post EP177: Disidentifying with the Intellect and Thriving in Every Way with Sarah Lee appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Kjersti experienced a range of chronic pain conditions from the age of 11. From headaches to ulcers to pelvic issues, her pain morphed and changed, often showing up in new ways.  Kjersti tried many things to help alleviate her pain, but it was really when she began diving into the New Paradigm that she began The post EP176: Thriving with Chronic Pain with Kjersti Ostvik appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

In this episode, I share three examples of people who were suffering, to varying degrees, because they were carrying the past around without realizing it.  You’ll hear about someone who was positive that lockdown created the anxiety he feels today.

What if the concepts we call ‘choice’ and ‘regret’ have nothing to do with what actually happens in life? What if life lives us, and thought arises talking about intention, control, and a “you” who has intention and control…and that’s what’s happening when we say we made a choice? Likewise, what if regret is simply The post EP173: Choice and Regret appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Jenny Roberts has been working with parents and their children (but really just the parents) for decades. Jenny lives in Australia and worked with parents who were feeling completely overwhelmed and hopeless throughout Australia and all over the world.

In this episode, I share a practice I’ve been playing with. It’s a deep investigation into the actual experience of thought. It’s me asking “what is this thought thing, really?” It’s me walking right up to a thought and looking at it. Feeling it. Moving closer. Are there images, sounds, or other sensory reflections I The post EP171: Try This! Deeply Exploring the Nature of Thought appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

In this episode, my friend and coach colleague Piers Thurston and I discuss what it’s been like for our coaching to move from a focus on psychology to a focus on something closer to spirituality or nonduality. We talk about how life looks far simpler than it used to, and why, even given that, we The post EP170: A conversation between two coaches about our apparent shift from psychology to spirituality with Piers Thurston appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Minds love dramatic, sensational statements. And if you don’t know better, you might be very tempted to take them seriously. They’ll say things like:  “I can’t handle this”. “I don’t know how I’ll make it through.” “I’m lost. I don’t know what to do next.” “I’m barely keeping my head above water.”. But here’s the The post EP169: I Can’t Handle It! appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Siobhan came to the new paradigm a couple different times in the past few years. The first was to find freedom around some habits. She talks about going through The Little School of Big Change a few years ago, solidly focused on her behavior (which is NOT how I recommend doing it!).

The narrator exaggerates. It can be so dramatic. You’re not just feeling a little grumble in your stomach, you’re about to die of hunger.  You’re not just coming up on a busy week, you don’t know how you’ll handle it all–it’s going to be horrible! These are examples of how a mind loves to add The post EP167: Minds Dramatize appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

EP167: Minds Dramatize

Your mind will never say “Okay, you can rest now. You’re perfectly good enough right now. There is nothing more to add or improve upon.” That’s just NOT what minds do.  Brains have evolved to look for ways to keep us safe and alive. In the absence of many actual threats to safety, the story The post EP166: Minds Think You’re Never Good Enough appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
