EP49: How to Become a Minimalist from the Inside Out with Dana Knox Wright
Throughout life, unsolicited expectations and identity beliefs influence us. The key is to carefully evaluate if those things are true or worth keeping to prevent clinging onto things that drain us. On this Wise Walk, Mary Tess Rooney and Dana Knox Wright take a moment to slow down and check our reality to honor your choice to stop showing up in ways that don’t serve you and let go. Where in your life do you hold onto fear, and where in your life do you need to release things in order to invite in the experiences that you actually want? Mary Tess and Dana talk about the idea of living minimally internally, honoring transparency, and growing from expansion experiences.

During this episode, I give real examples that can help you tap into your highest Joy Frequency. To keep my highs, I rely on self-reflection, my inner compass, and the freedom of expression.

EP44: How Do You Elevate Human Connection in Your Life With Gena Cox?
At the core, people simply want to be acknowledged as being another human. Humans like to belong and to form a connection over numerous similarities: likes, quirks, or goals. Ironically, there is sometimes a gap in how humans connect when trying to empathize with the human experience. Could it be that each individual is mentally wrapped in their own world? Could it be that individual human experience varies so much that the likeness in the larger human experience is hard to see? To explore this idea of human connection, I discuss being human, showing up authentically, and tapping into empathy with Dr. Gena Cox.
EP43: What Signals Are You Sending As You Move Forward?
If you send out signals, you are sending a message. I realize that communicating the choice to walk in our True Stride requires us to be comfortable with being more visible and more vocal about our authentic intentions. It makes you wonder which ways you can be more visible and vocal in your life to send the most natural message. What signals are you sending out, and how do you feel about them? How are you making yourself more visible?
EP42: Appreciating Support and Paying It Forward
Walking in our True Stride with help from a support system connects to what we are saying “yes” to and what we are saying “no” to in everyday life. Discover what choices you can make to say “yes” to fully use and feel the help from your support system. When you do receive help, find ways to show gratitude, and pay it forward to someone else. Sharing will be natural, since you have more to give others when you are taken care of. What choices and actions are you making to move closer to what you’re dreaming of?
EP41: What Lessons Are You Discovering for Yourself?
Learning is a continuous process in life. In any given moment, we come across lessons that offer information or a mindset to guide us closer to our True Stride. When we go on a Wise Walk, we are discovering what we find to be true for ourselves. If we can be aware of this knowledge, we can apply the lessons into our daily life.
EP40: How Trusting Your Inner Compass Leads to Transformation
In this episode, I reflect on my own transformation, and why I started this podcast. I went from a successful corporate career to authentically sharing my value in a way that made my heart happy. In between reminiscing and being grateful, I also talk about what I’m most excited for going forward.
When I think about my life, my intuition around teaching and empowering those around me seems obvious. Inspired by my own transformation, I encourage you to honor your heart to rhythmically move forward in all that you do. We can all work on trusting our inner compass more. What transformation is calling you?
