#205
Yesterday at 8:26 PM

Today's special episode is a live coaching experience with Nadeen Siddiqui.
Listen in as Nadeen gets coaching around feeling scared and experiencing disapproval. 
Where she ends up is more agency, more curious and lots of Self Kindness!

We begin with talking about this feeling of having a foot in two worlds, two identities - the old version and a new emerging version

Seeing her journey as being a caterpillar going through the cocoon experience into flight of the butterfly

Replacing Fear as Your Motivator
#193
12/03/2024

This episode: Fear is a crap motivator.  

When I feel fear, I rarely want to then go after what I think needs to get done.  
And fear as a motivator is almost always for something that I didn’t want to do in the first place or isn’t satisfying.  

Then why do I use it?  

Because other people used it on me to motivate me to do what they wanted me to do.  So, I witnessed from those experiences that it was a powerful motivator…for doing things I didn’t want to do.<...

How to move from where you are right now, ie: how you're feeling and what you're thinking...
TO
Arriving at where you want to be, ie: feeling better, thinking more capable, confident, connected thoughts!


We want to be feeling better: more lightness, more powerful, more capable, more worthy, etc
It's much more straight forward than you might think,
it just takes being dedicated to noticing where you are, and having the desire to feel better.

I give the example of how to use this process with money.

Intentionally Choosing a Self Kind Life
#190
10/11/2024

Every want you have is because you believe in the having of it you will FEEL better.
What happens if you go to FEEL better first?

Redefining old definitions that no longer serve you.
Choosing to "grow" without suffering.
How are you choosing?  Is it by default?  Fear-based?

Today we explore two (2) ways to choose with intention:
1 - Choosing thoughts that FEEL a little bit better
2 - Choosing to FEEL a better feeling and moving to that "vibrational" feeling inside of you.

Are you allowing good into your life?  It happens moment by moment.

How to make small shifts to experience RELIEF and how that adds up to a good life, a great life!

Allowing things to be good and letting good into your life, bc we are so well trained to look for and expect things might good poorly.

Being Ready to Receive
#188
09/27/2024

Allowing the feeling of relief, enjoyment and grounding as a result of self kindness right in this moment, is something you can do intentionally.
By putting attention on any emotion you help to create space and dissipate the intensity.
What if you lived the belief that, "All of me makes sense!"
This is the difference between indifference VS independent, being intentional with experiencing inner self kindness

Life is a journey that happens RIGHT NOW!
Are you enjoying the journey?  Do you LOVE the journey as it unfolds?

There are two (2) simple questions you can as in any moment, if you ask these questions, your life will radically shift!

In this episode we unpack how to do this, in your life.


How to incorporate NEW "empowering" thoughts
#186
08/23/2024

Ready to expand your capacity to FEEL better?  YES!

New intentional thoughts have the power to create big shifts in our lives.
However, the mind has a lot of momentum with the old, default thoughts.

So in this episode I share how to begin incorporating the NEW thoughts (as I share and teach it weekly with my Self Story group members www.petesibley.com/story)

New thoughts like, "I can handle this." "All of me makes sense."
Witnessing your emotions NOT a representation of who you are as a person, but, a...

#185
03/08/2024

How can we deliberately choose feeling good more often, without the conditions of our lives needing to change?

Ask yourself what are you choosing in the moment, 
in this episode I discuss each of these choices:
Truth or Feeling Good

Go it Alone or With the Divine 

Past/ Future or Present Moment

Victim or Hero

Against me or For Me

Condition or Unconditional

The quality of your life tomorrow is based upon the decisions you make today.

Built to FEEL GOOD
#183
02/22/2024

We ALL were built to feel good - it's why we don't like feeling bad, and yet
we seem to believe it's more responsible to feel bad more of the time than feel good!!
WHAAA??!!!

Once upon a time you told a beautiful story about yourself, it's time to begin telling it again!!
this episode I talk about:
HOW TO allow more feeling good by following the simple guidance of what hurts and what doesn't
HOW TO remember your power with telling your story

Self Confidence & Allowing in More Good
#182
02/15/2024

True self confidence is allowing good and joy into your life EVEN WHILE circumstances look they way that they do.
Maybe the situation has been challenging, but YOU can allow in good regardless,
And when that is TOP PRIORITY in your life, things change dramatically

today's example is around allowing in more abundance, but allowing in good can be applied to all of life's situations.
Every circumstance is positively affected by utilizing this natural ability

Telling Yourself into BEING
#181
02/10/2024

In this episode I share a clip from a recent live talk I gave.
What happens when you experience your power?
What happens when you begin to believe a different and more empowering story about yourself?

In this episode I share two stories that are very different but point to the same truth:
You are the narrator in your life - don't like the story?  you can change it - and these stories tell you how!!

Tell it with more delight for you!  more joy, more worthiness, more ease ;-)

Unconditional Happiness
#180
02/01/2024

The way you feel does not have to be a result of what you see.

And in fact, the way you feel can radically affect what you see.

What would your life look like if you were free from worry, uncertainty and even shame?

That's living in the unconditional and it's so much easier than you think, in fact it's who you are!!

Self Trust, Why it FEELS like heresy in the beginning
#179
01/17/2024

Self Trust is KEY to creating a beautiful and sustained life that FEELs like it's working for you.

Self Trust is locked in, through the action of BEING that which you desire, in the moment.

If you made it your top priority every moment to deliberately feel better, then you would experience life in a new way.  
As something that is here for you to create a life of your choosing.


Today's episode gives a first hand account of how to begin reestablishing your inner trust with yourself - which leads t...


Self Story: Living, Thriving & Being Who You Really Are
#178
01/11/2024

You are capable of shifting your self story each moment.  
It is less about the zero to hero journey and more about the beautiful unfolding legacy you're creating!
It IS possible to be more deliberate about feeling good and joy in your life.

Fresh Start, How to Tell a New Self Story
#177
01/03/2024

We tell ourselves stories all the time,
the one we are most obsessed with is our OWN story.
all about: How things are working (or aren't working) in our lives.
How things are going, stories about how we look and why.
Stories about about our families, our career, other people, the world, etc, etc

In this episode I unpack exactly how being more deliberate about your narration is such a game changer.
This is coming from experience my friend, so you won't want to miss this one.

Freedom in Letting Go
#174
12/11/2023

Letting go of the blocks we’ve put up

How we’re telling the story, that’s what we can let go of and see things rapidly change in our lives


The biggest take away from today's episode: 

 Letting go of the belief that there is something outside you that you need to learn, understand, adapt, get - that will “complete you”


Every tool, skill, experience that I’ve been through has really only ever revealed one thing: 

I already know this, I’m already tapped...


How to Choose Your Own Best Story (Adventure)
#173
11/30/2023

Did you know that you can change so much in your life, by changing the story that your are listening to in your own mind?


We each are telling a story every moment of every day in our own mind.  The story is explaining things, other people’s behaviors, what you need to do, making sense of the world around you.  It’s also throwing in critiques, past events, old beliefs in an effort to ward off any “unpleasantries” in your day.  


Thing is, these stories are mostly repetitive and they’re...

And yet how often do YOU actually live that way?

I explain, why it's more important to focus  on where you WANT to go, then focusing on why it's not here or why it's not working.

How to know that your personal transformation work serves EVERYONE
#166
10/27/2023

Too often we get caught up in thinking that something to our benefit (if it's outside of eating, sleeping, using the bathroom) is Selfish.

In this episode I'm going to clearly show you that what you thought was Selfish is actually, Self-LESS...while what we often tout as Self-less is really being selfish.  Why? 
B/c it adds more stress, worry, etc to the world when we DON'T tend to that which is causing stress, worry, etc within us.

We each have a self concept that we can deliberately and intentionally guide towards seeing mo...
