Wise Ass Woman with Nicki Denofrio

"I See You." A phrase I came to loathe. 

Until today. Why do we do the things we do? Why do we get stuck in patterns we aren't even aware we've placed ourselves in? Why do we think so little of the immense shadow work and mirror work and better choices we make that we can't even tell ourselves how proud we are of those decisions? 

Let's dive into that for a few minutes...

You are NOT going to like what I'm about to say... 

But you need to hear it. 

I needed to hear it, and it became one of my favorite healing journey moments. 

We live in a culture that glorifies past hurts, traumas, and papercuts, and encourages us to talk about it ad nauseum. 

Know what it doesn't do?

It doesn't encourage us to heal it. I'm not talking about legitimate therapists here -- I'm talking about the current state of our c...

Hi there friends!

Welcome to a "Late, but still made it" episode of No Seat Belt. 

Today I've been pondering accountability. I've never been good with internal motivation: for me, everything has always been external. I'm working on it. 

I am fortunate enough to have a friend who's been in the public speaking/coaching/podcasting world for over a decade, and with that much experience, pretty much any nugget of wisdom Phil "gifts" me,...

On today's episode, we're looking at self worth: how do we place value on ourselves, how does it diminish, and how is it reflected back to us from our environment. 

You'll hear a few examples of the ways I "lost" my worth and how I changed the frame around those moments to gain a better understanding of why it happened, and the tools I use now to counteract the thief of self worth from creeping in and stealing it again. 

This is di...

Hello, Friends! We have no intro yet, and this one is a rant RIGHT out of the gate. Bear with me as I think through this episode in real time, getting to the root of why we doom scroll fitness content, philosophical quotes, podcast clips from our favorite therapists. This realization really helped me to STOP doing this -- It still happens from time to time, but it's a rarity now. 

Pay attention to what grabs your attention for too ...

Welcome back, everybody!

I've been so taken aback by the support from all of you coming along on this ride.

 This season, we're going to be changing it up a bit. 

I've become a voracious student of the human condition in the past 9 or 10 months, and it's given me so much clearer insight into my own struggles.

I'm going quite a bit deeper on topics that are affecting us all, from relationships, to the ways our perception of oursel...

Hello, darlings. 

We're back to our regular 2 pods per week schedule. Thanks for hanging in there! 

Today, I'm sharing some more personal anecdotes from my life, that have negatively impacted my health, and how getting rid of some items have relieved me of so much negative energy in my space, from my body, and from my soul. 

Do the things you keep or collect emit a positive force of energy in your life, your home, your spirit? Or...

If you are made in the image of God, and God is Love, then logic dictates that YOU are also LOVE. 

Do you feel like love? I don't always feel it -- I've found myself feeling depleted, and burnt out, a little lonely, even at times upset with myself. Sound familiar? Know what I really need from myself in those moments? To remember that the absolute core of my being is LOVE. Love listens, it heals, it understand, it has patience for...

Driving home recently I had one Hell of an epiphany: What my Superpower is!

Think of your favorite superhero -- was their life sunshine and rose petals, or did they endure some kind of pain on the way to their superpower? This, my friends, is at the core of the hero's journey.

This revelation actually surprised me, as you'll hear in today's episode. I wouldn't normally post an episode like this, as it was one of my personal voice...
