225: Changes with the Seasons of Your Soul 07/21/2020

225: Changes with the Seasons of Your Soul There are just those moments in life that you have a strong intuition that you have to do something immediately. When I walked with Cooper earlier, something connected in me. It might be because of the things that have been going on in my life, or some things really need to be done. We need to have a conversation about it. Today, we’ll be talking about the season of your brand energetics. Recently, I feel that my brand needs to have a shift, along with the changes that have been happening in the world, and me personally. It’s time to move away from things that I’ve long been sinking in towards new things where my heart wants to be. In this episode, we’re going to deal with this change. When you’re focused on too many distractions and drowned yourself in massive clutter, you tend to lose sight of what’s important. My desire to scale the business has blinded me from seeing the necessity of putting energy on the things that matter. Looking at the numbers too much can literally drive you crazy! Am I still giving positive and valuable things to them? During our journey to the top, we still have to remember the people we serve. After resting for too long in the pandemic, there’s also a point where we have to start picking ourselves up and begin creating again! At the end of the show, I’ll also be telling you what significant changes are in store for the podcast. I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for three years now. It’s about time for a well-deserved upgrade! I’ll catch you all again next time here on Bucci Radio. Stay safe! IMPORTANT MOMENTS: [02:20] Having the intuition to do something and acting on that thought. [03:40] A major shift in my life. A challenging work environment and losing a solid foundation. [06:01] Paying attention to the shift from within. Shifting business models to the things that matter. [11:02] Being more energized to create new things again. Expect new things! Inviting the Divine Masculine back. [14:13] Accepting this new season of change and taking interest in new ideas. [19:19] What are you called to shift into? What are pretending not to know? [21:40] The new path for Bucci Radio Podcast. Putting energy in the right places.

224: Social Media Personal Development with Marie Wold We all go through different stages in our lives. Sometimes it’s because we move to different places, an intentional shift in career, severe medical conditions, a loss in the family, or sometimes knowing that we’ve changed. Or, maybe we’ve just started to figure out who we really are. Today’s guest is my friend, Marie Wold. She is an influencer for eight years and has been through everything from having an anonymous Instagram account, winning bikini competitions, getting over 100K subscribers on YouTube, and now coaching people who are scaling to six figures. In this episode, we’ll get into Marie’s younger years, why she started an anonymous Instagram account, the mistake of attaching your self-worth to social status, and growing around continuous feedback. After realizing she was only doing things only because it was expected of her and that it made the people around her happy, a switch flipped inside her. Marie also shares her experiences of finding her identity beyond the validation of others, loving being able to help other people, and removing herself from her past success in order to create one that has true purpose.

[37:50] The benefits of therapy. You can allow your emotions to happen, even when you see dog videos! [41:30] Removing yourself from an unhealthy environment, especially if your friends are there.

214: Ego Work, Grief, and the Coronavirus Pandemic 04/21/2020

214: Ego Work, Grief, and the Coronavirus Pandemic Experiencing how you’re showing up in this pandemic is giving every single human the opportunity to do what’s called ego work. I’m going to first define this concept and introduce it to you, provide examples, and move into how we can heal and use it to our advantage. However you’re showing up is completely okay, but what happens psychologically is this: The pandemic ensued, and every human on the planet began feeling the uncertainty that’s really always there. Uncertainty is essentially the fear of the unknown, fear of dying, fear of the dark, etc. The EGO is a function of the mind that identifies as “I.” I am this, I feel this, I think this, I believe this. It tells stories, runs narratives, and assigns meaning to you, the world, and other people based on its experiences so far. It helps us make sense of things. It also gives us a sense of identity. Having a sense of identity makes us feel like a human, with a purpose. That’s why it likes to keep us in the familiar, predictable, and safe patterns. It protects us from painful emotions that might be too overwhelming to feel. Anything that ISN’T familiar is a THREAT to the ego.

So with the coronavirus pandemic… We are all going through a major bout of uncertainty, which the ego absolutely HATES. It’s identity is being threatened. It’s sense of self. Believes about itself, other people, and the world. A few examples: story about privilege, spirituality, and sense of self were being threatened needing to be right about how he reacted when it came to Cooper. And how you are responding to the virus right now is how you likely respond to all ego-related things, except AMPLIFIED—because survival and safety is involved, quite literally—financial or health wise. Are you getting angry? Are you feeling anxious? Are you avoiding feeling? Are you coping, numbing out? I want to tell you: however you’re responding right now, is absolutely okay. If you don’t enjoy how you’re responding and feel as though you need help, reach out to me and I can point you in the right direction—mental health, wellness, or otherwise—I’m here. And if you’re responding by having a few extra drinks, eating a bit more food, sleeping more, etc. — I just want you to know that you make sense. The ego is feeling deeply uncertain, and deeply needing to cling on any sense of certainty and feel good it can. It resists being shattered into pieces. If you look at people who are discussing conspiracy theories—I’m not falling on one side or the other in this episode, but you see the anger people have on both ends. To me, i’m observing a few different places in the grief stages. Denial. —> even if none of it’s true, it’s triggering because it’s threatening. An ego death is what occurs when you let go of a part of yourself that believed it was the way it was. I’m personally experiencing many mini-ego deaths. Small examples: I believed I would never run. Now I run. I didn’t think I’d ever get myself to cook because I was so stuck in the habit. Now I do. I didn’t think I’d ever get angry, because my coping mechanism has been shut down. Now, I’m letting myself feel anger when it arises. God, my ego HATED that one. It was so painful. It still makes me want to vomit. But psychologically, anger is a step up from shut down. Shut down is an emotional turn off where you numb out. Things we automatically trusted were okay, are now not: grocery store potentially the government our goals and plans we thought would make us happy the things we felt safe doing and moving toward What’s HAPPENING is that there is SO MUCH uncertainty, which leads to so much chaos, and therefore…destruction Destruction is not bad. It’s just the ego that doesn’t like it. It fucking HURTS. If you’ve ever had what you could only describe as a death of part of yourself…you know. It feels messy and gross. But what comes out is a rebirthed version of the self, and the collective. And rebirth can be beautiful. Examples of how things are changing and what they never thought could change without necessity: universities going online and serving more people studios and classes hosting things online hand shaking? how does that change the conversation around intimacy with strangers? the environment? how does it change? home? how do you relate to your home? For me, here’s what I’m changing: One thing this is truly forcing me to do is get clear on what beliefs are mine and what aren’t. My partner is huge into social justice and politics. He reads a lot. I’ve let him be my filter for the last few years. And, I personally can allow that to take over my thought process and belief systems. Turns out, that’s a part of my EGO STRUCTURE. As an enneagram 9 (there’s an AMAZING book—roaming free inside the cage…..) my ego structure makes peace, avoids conflict, and when unhealthy—allows for others opinions to turn into their own. Chameloning is easy for me. I’ve let that happen most of my life. Emo friend in middle school, I became emo. etc. Living with a highly opinionated and well studied person is forcing me to check in with my own beliefs and see if I agree, or I’m just agreeing because it’s him. Reminders of this episode: It’s okay if you’re coping a bit with things that feel comfortable. that’s naturally what might need to happen. Eating a little extra, whatever—the ego is so resistant. How you do one thing is how you do everything. You may be in the beginning stages of grief of a loss of sense of self, others, and the world.
