What might happen if we decided to step into the understanding that nothing is simply one thing and that everything has layers? For every ‘thing’ that we see as one is actually composed of many. What might we be able to understand, about ourselves and others, if we took a moment to step back from compartmentalizing and noticed the complexity of layers in our internal & external worlds?

Ep. 51: Layers

Have you ever felt stuck in a belief, thought pattern, behaviour or even relationship because you felt like there wasn't another way?  Narratives are a common part of our society. Narratives aren't necessarily good or bad. However, narratives can create suffering when we don't allow ourselves to remember that these narratives are ONE way, not the only way.  The recognition that there are many narratives out there might be just the insight we need to get unstuck. 

Ep. 50: Narratives

When we think of nourishment, most of us think of nutrition.  In this episode SJ offers some insight into a more wholistic understanding as to what nourishment really entails.  Spoiler alert: the foods we eat are only part of what nourishes us as humans. 

Ep. 48: Nourishment

The cultural narrative that many of us grew up with focused on how much of a dog eat dog world it is out there. This false belief that it's every Man, Woman, child and household pet out for themselves is a great way to build a perception of total scarcity. In this episode SJ shares a different view. Have you ever sat back and contemplated how interdependence shows up in your life? How every single moment of your existence is actually only possible because of other people/things? If you've never spent time with this realization, now's your chance ;)

Ep. 49 : Interdependence

Fair to say we live in an overstimulated society.  This episode brings to light how this constant search for stimulation might be negatively affecting our perception of things like monotony and 'the grind'. 

Ep. 47: The Gift Within The Grind

Limiting beliefs and self sabotaging behaviours are common. We all have them.  In this episode SJ breaks down WHY we cling to these destructive behaviours and what needs to happen in order to take our power back. 

Ep. 46: Why We Hold Onto Negative Behaviours

Have you ever been so afraid of failure that you wouldn’t even take a chance?  I know I have been guilty of this in the past.  In this episode SJ allows you the space to examine the situation from both sides.

Ep. 45: A Swing And A Miss

We live in a time where we are lead to believe more is always better.  No only is more better, but we should also value fast over slow, so societal conditioning tells us. Fast and more are great when we are interested in building many shallow holes, but these traits aren't that useful when it comes to the deep inner work.  On this episode SJ breaks down how having too many cooks in your kitchen might be a sign of self sabotage on your part. 

Ep. 44: Too Many Cooks

We have all worn a 'mask' before in order to feel safe. As tribal beings, our sense of safety is directly influenced by our sense of love, connection and belonging.  Masking is our programming, so what might be a better option when it comes to building relationships?  If your curious to find out, this episode is for you. 

Ep. 43: Understanding Masking

We live in a society of doing... and of numbing.  We live in a society where some forms of running and numbing are socially acceptable, while others are not.  In this episode SJ allows you the opportunity to get curious as to what your numbing agent of choice is and why you should are about learning to BE. 

Ep. 42: To Be or Not to Be?

You know those people in your life that really get you fired up? The ones that annoy you, frustrate you and/or push you to your limits? Those people are actually more on your team than you might know.  The purpose of this short & sweet episode is to offer you a reframe that places YOU back in control of your life, your actions and reactions. 

Ep. 41: Soul Contracts

Have you ever said yes to something/someone out of the fear of hurting the other persons feelings? People pleasing is a very common learned behaviour which has always been my go to when it comes to self sabotage.  People pleasing has gotten me into some tricky situations. It wasn't until recently that I also realized there was a massive learning lesson behind the behaviour of people pleasing.  In this episode I share with you a major learning lesson I've had when it comes to my relationships and people pleasing. 

Ep. 40: The Other Side Of People Pleasing

Story telling and mythology are the oldest forms of communication and education known to human kind.  Thanks to mythologist Joseph Campbell, a Hero's Journey was created when he noticed there was a similar flow to stories from all different cultures & societies throughout time.  In this episode SJ breaks down the 12 parts of the Hero's Journey and explains why you should care to know all the parts of this empowering cycle. 

Ep. 39: What Is The Hero's Journey?

We spend a lot of our daily time & energy making micro, and macro, decisions all day long.  What happens to our macro decisions when we spend too much energy making micro decisions? In this episode we are tackling decision fatigue and three simply ways you can limit it. 

Ep. 38: Decisions, decisions, decisions!

In this solo cast, Success & Life Coach Sammy Jo, will shake your world up by hitting you with the things/thoughts you need in order to move forward with your life.
