Practicing Ahimsa - How to let Go of Judgment
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hi there , Have you ever found yourself in the judgment trap, feeling inadequate and unworthy? Judgement isn’t just about criticizing others, but it also picks apart our flaws and magnifies our mistakes. It whispers cruel “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts,” leaving us feeling unworthy and unlovable. Often the judgments we make on others are reflections of our own insecurities and judgements about ourselves. The sad part about listening to judgement is that when we judge others, we close ourselves off from the beauty of their potential and the richness of their...

Embracing Imperfection- How to let go of perfection and imposter syndrome
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey there, I have a vulnerable share. I’ve struggled with perfectionism these past few years, and it’s been so paralyzing that it’s silenced my voice and my gifts as a teacher and coach. In the online coaching world, the pressure to be flawless, to have all the answers and to be the expert has been overwhelming. Perfectionism has caused to show up inauthentically (hello imposter syndrome!) …or show up as a flat version of my personality… or worse - not show up at all!... only to be met with shame for not doing and being more. Perfectionism is like a sneaky thief,...

How to BE with your emotions without BEING them (meditation to be with your triggers)
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey soul friend, How often do we let our inner critic spin us into old dramas? 🙋🏻♀️ We get triggered by something or someone, and suddenly we're knee-deep in an old drama, replaying the same story over and over again. During my recent trip to Florida, a friend shared a powerful insight: the inner work is about being with our experiences without being consumed by them. This is the essence of mindfulness. The more we can hold space for our experiences without letting them take over, the more freedom we find. In today's meditation on the...

Embracing Imperfections: Discover Your Superpower with Wabi Sabi ✨
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hi there soul friend! Growing up, I was often labeled as "too emotional" or "too sensitive," which led me to believe that my sensitivity was my flaw. But through my spiritual journey, I've had a revelation – my sensitivity is my superpower! It's what led me to discover my true calling as a self-love coach, guiding others on their paths to self-discovery and healing. Wabi Sabi is a beautiful Japanese concept that celebrates imperfection and impermanence. It's all about finding beauty in life's irregularities, rather than striving for unattainable perfection. What if instead of striving...

Stay Grounded: Tips for Finding Peace Amidst Life's Chaos
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey there, If you're feeling a little frazzled and ungrounded, I hope today's podcast and love letter for your Soul helps you stay centered to yourself and what truly matters. Last week was a whirlwind of foggy chaos: Two sick kiddos at home meant sleepless nights and the added pressure to "get it all done" in less time. 🤯 Picture this: I strut into a yoga class, only to realize in the lobby that I'm rocking just my bra (not my sports bra). Talk about a fashion faux pas! And to top it off, the next day, I hit the gym with my leggings on backward. GET. IT. TOGETHER, AUDREY! After...

Ignite Your Inner Goddess
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey there, beautiful soul! Just returned from a quick Florida vacation, and let me tell you, it was like a sip of pure sunshine for my spirit. There's something rejuvinating about reconnecting with friends who knew you long before diapers and bedtime stories took over to remind you of who you were. When I got back home, a friend texted me: "I forgot how funny you are!" I excitedly showed it to my hubby, exclaiming, "See? I've still got it!" These past three years of motherhood? Phew, they've been quite the rollercoaster ride! Amidst the chaos of diapers and...

One Tweak A Week to Reach Your Dreams
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Today is a simple mantra: “one tweak each week” Last week, I started working out again (after not really moving my body much for GULP, 4 YEARS!). I had 2 babies and a pandemic and a move/remodel. But my baby is almost 3 years old, and there’s no excuses, plus I feel like crap! So I signed up for Orange Theory Fitness and made a commitment to myself to work out for 5 days. Last week was my first week, but I ate like crap - we’re talking 5 indulgent meals a day at about 3000 calories. So, although I was working out like an athlete, I was eating like a lumberjack! I...
info_outlineWelcome to episode 100! I truly couldn’t do this without you and I’m so glad you’re here!
To celebrate episode 100 Today on the Soul School podcasts, I talk with Donte Quinine, a Tedx speaker, life coach and yoga leader about spirituality and racial injustice.
As a yoga instructor and spiritual teacher, his intention is to help people awaken to their own spirit and potential that he believes exists within everyone.
I know you’re going to love hearing his eloquent words as much as I do as he shares that, yes, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, but not each human is having the same human experience because of the color of their skin.
Donte shares how we all can show up better for the Black community and anyone who has been oppressed through the following ways:
- Let go of judgment of what’s right or wrong or what we know to be true, and instead being curious to inquire, explore and seek the truth.
- Ask ourselves deeper questions so we can receive deeper answers.
- Be honest. Tell the whole truth, not just the partial truth that is safe and feels good.
- Look within to see where you are responsible.
His hope is that we no longer have to have difficult conversations around race inequality, because there is no longer a conversation necessary around injustice… His hope is that these are all events in our history books and we can truly meet equally, spirit to spirit.
Donte invites you to get quiet, get curious, be honest and ask deeper questions about what triggers you to receive deeper answers. Welcome to Soul School.
