Grief + Grace 10/22/2023

Grief + Grace I remember in 2018, I was 6-weeks pregnant, totally sick and queasy, and in less than 4 weeks I was going to host a week long retreat for 28 women in Tuscany. I hunched over the stove painfully grilling a cheese sandwich (because that’s all I could eat at that time), then slowly shuffled my feet to the couch where I lay horizontally with my eyes closed, nibbling my grilled cheese sandwich like a squirrel. My dad watched this sad scene and insisted that he go to Italy to help me. Stubbornly, I told him I can handle it, but he knew better. He bought his plane ticket that night. I could never have done the retreat without him and in fact he made the retreat that much more special and became everyone’s resident “yoga dad.” He died later that year, two weeks before my daughter was born. Yesterday was his 5-year anniversary of his passing, and it’s kind of strange (and also beautiful) timing that I’m also opening registration next week on the Hunter moon (the name of our daughter and the actual day he died 5 years ago). I know he would like me going back to Italy, his favorite place, and especially back to Villa Benedetta where that was our last vacation together. Maybe you’re wondering why I’m sharing all this? My dad always taught me to celebrate life, but when you lose someone you love, grief can feel so overwhelming. Through conscious work of silence, meditation, self-reflection, talking to him, going to Bali for deep healing and magic, now the feelings of JOY, connection and love are more present than grief and sorry. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss him. I do, every day. But I feel deeply connected to his spirit and his love for me and love for life. Connection is most important to me. The pandemic shut my thriving yoga business for 3 years, and to be honest, I’m still picking up the pieces, seeking that deep connection again. Maybe you are too? Getting to return to this magnificent villa overlooking sprawling vineyards holds a special place in my heart - not only for its serene beauty of the luxurious architecture, quaint town and vineyards, but because of the beautiful memories of my dad interacting with our yoga friends and the lasting friendships and connection we made in this special place (and honestly, always make on my retreats). Registration for Tuscany opens next Saturday, and if you’re on the waitlist, you’ll get a special email next week. I’d love for you to join me either in Tuscany Sept 29-Oct 5, 2024 or in beautiful Bali April 22-28, 2024 for healing, renewal and connection to your inner truth. DETAILS FOR BOTH RETREATS: Tuscany 2024 Bali 2024 XX Audrey If you’re experiencing grief, I hope TODAY’S MINDFUL PAUSE episode helps you be with yourself in a loving way, allowing yourself stillness to feel your emotions and hear that wisdom that shows up to thaw what is frozen to flow again. /episode/index/show/soulschoolpodcast/id/28384169

Quiet the Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee 09/17/2023

Quiet the Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee Hi there! I hope you had a wonderful summer and are feeling rested and renewed. I know I am! It’s so good to be back with you! This season, I’m sharing excerpts from my book: How to quiet the Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee coming out in 2024. This is vulnerable for me to share, but I truly hope each week’s intention, lesson or meditation helps you on your journey to know and love yourself. ** If this is helpful and speak to your heart, please do me a favor and let me know – a quick DM on instagram, email me on and you can help me so much by rating, review and share this podcast. -------- Today’s podcast is about quieting our inner critic, that negative voice that pulls us down an emotional elevator into believing in scarcity that we’re not good enough and we don’t have enough. You’re in alignment with your Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee whenever you feel inferior or superior to someone or something. Today we’ll explore 3 ways to quiet the inner critic: 1. Notice when you start to buy into it’s limiting beliefs and negative dialogue. When you’re in consciousness, you’re in choice and can choose a new way of talking to yourself. 2. Question the IBSC. Ask– is this really true about me? Or is this a learned behavior or a conditioned pattern? 3. Create a negative mantra to halt spiraling into limiting beliefs and patterns. This week’s invitation is to be mindful of how you talk to yourself, and use the mindfulness tools to notice your inner dialogue, question it and use the negative mantra to choose a new belief to serve you. Each time you recognize a familiar destructive pattern and choose instead to be kinder towards yourself, you rewire any limiting beliefs and shift your patterns. I hope this has been helpful and I can’t wait to hear how these doable tools are helping you know and love yourself. Remember, friend ,you are enough and you matter! namaste Audrey /episode/index/show/soulschoolpodcast/id/28046370
