EP70: Keys to Your Own Wise Walk Reflection
Your senses are constantly absorbing information. Externally, you try to make sense of the energy around you, pulling you, and requesting your attention. Internally, you try to balance and navigate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that you experience. You don’t need to absorb all the information presented to you. This episode talks about having the keys to your own Wise Walk reflection.
EP69: How Intention Creates Our Reality with Leigh Farrow
What is possible with 10 minutes a day for 100 days or a word intention? What might you experience, create or receive? Imagine if you had a chance to create each day, and transformed the way you connect with the world. This episode talks about how committed intention can change your worldview with today’s special guest Leigh Farrow. Leigh Farrow, author of Leadership Nuts and Animated Wisdom speaker, is a creative powerhouse. Leigh is a friend and fellow Strider who is back again to talk about setting consistent intentions.

EP67: How Your Mindset Enhances Your Experiences
As 2022 starts up, take time to think through what you really want this year and what you are trying to manifest. No matter how the year unfolds, you can navigate anything you weren’t expecting. You only have to slow down, check your reality, and open your heart and mind to new possibilities. This episode talks about how your mindset can enhance your experiences.
EP66: Practicing Reflection and Intention
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP66’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. I’ll tell you the many staple moments that embodied the meaning of True Stride over the past year. Listen as I share memories like celebrating one year of this podcast, pivoting during the 100-day challenge I took on earlier this year, and welcoming Trooper to the family. Let’s reflect on all that last year offered, and let’s envision a new year bringing us more alignment. This episode talks about practicing reflection and intention.
EP65: What Gifts Are You Ready to Receive?
Are there times you feel resistance to receiving gifts, or do you ever feel unworthy of receiving gifts? When it comes to receiving gifts, people can feel awkward about giving themselves permission to accept the gesture. What could possibly be holding someone back? There are moments where that awkwardness is actually resistance to celebrating worthiness. This episode talks about consciously reminding yourself that you are worthy without doing anything special.
EP64: How to Align with Your Word for the Year
On our Wise Walk, I take everyone through the process of choosing a word. Exploring what resonates for the upcoming year is important before committing to a Word for the Year. Listen as I guide us through this relaxed and joyful process of picking a Word for the Year. Sometimes words match, but don’t resonate with what you want moving forward. You’ll be glad you took time to clarify what you envision through this episode.
EP63: Ways to Co-Create Soulful Love with Dr. Chelsea Wakefield, PhD, LCSW
Today I’m joined by Dr. Chelsea Wakefield to talk about ways to co-create soulful love. Chelsea and I discuss the importance of knowing yourself, and bringing your whole and best self into any relationship. That includes knowing our triggers and shadows as well as getting in tune with who your partner is and not who you wish they could be. Honest awareness encourages individuals to identify what really matters and connect in relationships on a deeper level.
EP62: How Space and Focus Nurtures Growth
Over the holiday, I had a long drive and decided to make the occasion even more special by bringing my dog Trooper along. It was Trooper’s first long trip! On our Wise Walk today, I tie together the connection between my and Trooper’s development and ways we can show up for personal evolution in our own lives. Listen as I touch on creating opportunities for new challenges, building space to grow, and managing attention to be present in the journey.
EP61: How Are Your Thoughts Creating Intentional Experiences?
On our Wise Walk, I discuss why the habits and thoughts developed from your internal cravings influence the things you seek or replicate in how you operate. Really pay attention to the patterns of your brain. You’ll notice reflections of what you already planted in your mind. Since this happens naturally, you can also use that knowledge to understand yourself better. When you crave a feeling, idea, or thought, you are more likely to seek or replicate that thing in the world around you. This episode talks about understanding how thoughts create intentional experiences.
