S3 E13 | Mini-Episode: if other people are doing LESS and getting MORE, why not do what's on your heart?
Stories from the Subconscious
This podcast episode wasn't expected. Mae sat down to listen to a 10min guided meditation on InsightTimer app... and instead, she got riled up. What happened? This meditation was filled with inefficient/not super effective affirmations... which serve as GREAT EXAMPLES as to how much possibility is out there. This by NO MEANS is a shot at the creator of that meditation! He is serving as a teacher for us all in this moment.

S3 E12 | Mini-Episode: Don't listen to this quick & easy subconscious hack!
Stories from the Subconscious
Mirriam Webster indicates that "don't", the converted version of "does not", has been used across the English language for quite some time. Don't is defined as: a command or entreaty not to do something You likely are already aware of that. And yet you might not be aware that the subconscious mind has an interesting relationship with "don't". We often use don't in commands like: DON’T WORRY DON’T THINK ABOUT IT DON’T BE HOME LATE DON’T SMOKE And if we really start to think about it: how impactful are those commands? Or perhaps asked differently: is...

S3 E10 | Own Your Subconscious: Exploring, Honoring & Loving All the Parts that Make us Whole: a *LIVE* podcast episode w/ Danielle Gertner
Stories from the Subconscious
Have you responded to an invitation with something like, "well, part of me would love to but the other part of me isn't so sure." And so the truth is: we naturally break down our needs into parts. A "part" of you wants to go to that birthday party and another "part" of you wants to stay home & eat ice cream. Maybe "part" of you feels like you "should" sit down and meditate while the other "part" really needs a nap. We naturally are in touch with various parts of ourselves: the part that feels embarrassed doing karaoke the part that...

S3 E9 | Mini-Episode: Up until now, you've been doing affirmations wrong. Here's how to supercharge your affirmation game!
Stories from the Subconscious
Y'all. I have to apologize. I have been gate-keeping this golden nugget. And it is time for the world to write and speak better affirmations. You might be asking... what is an affirmation? and for reference, here are some "typical" AFFIRMATIONS: I am worthy. My body is sacred. I have everything I need. Amazing, great, we love it!! And what if I told you that THESE are ALSO AFFIRMATIONS: "I have this terrible habit..." “I go to bed way past my bedtime.” “I need to watch Netflix at night to sleep.” “I have no time or money.” This is why they say that our words are powerful...

S3 E6 | The Power of Hardship: the lessons we need aren't always the ones we asked for w/ Dr. Guinevere Stasio
Stories from the Subconscious
Knowing what she knows now, today’s guest wishes she could go back in time and ask her younger self, “do you actually love yourself?” Maybe you can relate to this. Life was just “ok.” She was basically thinking “I guess this is as good as it gets” even though she checked most all the boxes on the traditional “to do” list. …because “when you’re in it you don’t really know there is some thing else available.” Got Married. Got a degree. Got a dog. Got a job. But what if you don’t like the job you just spent 8 years to get? The mind starts to dig up solutions at the...

S3 E4 | This one question is the secret sauce to living life by design w/ [4x American Ninja Warrior] Angela Gargano
Stories from the Subconscious
Today Angela reminds us that strong really does feel good. Because the truth is: Angela Gargano is no stranger to NOT feeling good. (You may know her from America Ninja Warrior where she tore her ACL on live TV... twice). Growing up, she was bullied growing up for her physical strength and that made her insecurities very real. It took some time but she eventually found “her people” (as well as a pair of stripper shoes?!) and that really helped Angela step into confidence (pun intended). For her, mindset is everything... because strong looks good but it feels even better. ...
