Dirt Road Less Travelled

A powerful conversation with Dr. Andrea Slominski about  how to capture and utilize the changes in our (women's) psyches as we shift physiologically at mid-life. Lots of TMI (from Maia, big surprise) and uplifting and transformative storytelling from Dr. A.

Dr. A is a speaker, coach, and author, and is a powerhouse of guiding energy ready to support you along your path with her Heroine's Journey methodology.

One of the most delightful conversations I've had on this podcast is this one with Christene Springle, psychic medium, animal communicator, tarot reader, and Reiki master.

The utter devotion and simplicity of her approach is unparalleled.

We jump in talking about animals, what they have to say, Christene's monthly animal meditation, finding. your way on your personal path, recognizing when it's ti...

Maia turned 50 this July, and she did it in style, if she does say so herself. As in, true-to-her-style. Do you make time for your desires to come true? Make sure your celebratory needs are being met? You should. We talk about how to do just that — along with ritual and boundaries, which we simply cannot do without.

Are you ready for someone to pay attention to your life and you?

Are you ready to dig deep and make...

I've gotten really good at taking downtime for myself, letting new creative ideas arise from that place, and totally recalibrating whenever I need it. Am I wrong, or is this skill desperately needed in the world right now? Let's make recalibration happen for ourselves, get to the glorious re-set, heal our s**t and make the world a better place!

Are you ready for someone to pay attention to your life and you?

If you haven't already listened to Part 1 of my real-time coaching sessions with "Liz", go back and give Episode 43 a listen. Then tune in for the next installment of her work trajectory. Interesting things have been developing -- and we're also delving deep beneath the surface of what things look like on the outside, to fully uncover the root of what is truly going on. Another amazing conversation with an amazi...

Talking with multi-passionate entrepreneur, coach, and singer/songwriter Gigi Gold about everything from de-throning our inner critic, to getting into action and the flow state, the coaching industry, money, and the incredible learning experience of on-the-ground self-expression.

I think the title of this episode says it all. What are you feeling? Why are you feeling that way? What can you do about it? As always, I see every single upset in life as an opportunity to know ourselves better and heal our old wounds. Cool energetic visualization under the stars plus a surprise nighttime appearance on the roof by puppy Bean. Oh, and a falling star! You don't want to miss this one ...

Feel like Maia ...

Yet another day goes by ... without you actually doing the work you know you're meant to do. It's incredibly frustrating, but our world just isn't set up to get us living on-mission. You have to really claim it. Today was truly frustrating for me, so I talk about it here.

Are you ready for someone to pay attention to your life and you?

Are you ready to dig deep and make something meaningful and sat...

I'm planning to do a full episode on "flow state" but consider this a precursor. I mention it a few times, but really I wound up just talking about enjoying life and how most of us struggle to do that. Why???

Why can't we just have a good time with being alive? I'm not even touching on the tragedy of human existence in this one (we'll go there, and we have before), but today, what do you need...

Pulling back the curtain on what the hell actually happens in a life coaching session, with real-life client, "Liz".

We talk a lot about work, which is a massive source of frustration for so many people, and we also dig beneath the surface, to see if we can get to the root of the reason some of these things are so incredibly challenging. Including what to do when you're triggered by coworkers or your boss.<...

Seeing all these different people I've connected with over the years, who I thought I shared perspectives with, have been reacting in completely surprising ways to the conversation around abortion, I realized we need to talk about it even more. And it got me thinking about why we feel and believe the way we do about this insanely hot button topic.

So I'm bringing my good friend and colleague on to talk about the...

I realized I couldn't avoid talking publicly about abortion anymore, after the draft from the Supreme Court about reversing Roe v Wade was leaked.

And the first person I wanted to bring on to speak about it is podcaster, Amanda Star Kingsley, who is the host of the incredibly outspoken and intimate podcast, Speaking Light Into Abortion.

Amanda is gifted at telling the truth, owning her version of the truth ...

Ever wonder where your opinions come from? Or, more likely, have you wondered where the hell other people seem to be getting their totally misinformed opinions?

We talk about that, using "the slap" heard 'round the world, as a starting point, in two separate guest conversations, first with Carla Savetsky, PA-MS, and then with our second (and return) guest, boyfriend Mike.

We quote from the New York...

Just start the damn project! Enjoy some conversation and some playful ranting around why we struggle to just get started. Your project might be simply getting in shape (and sometimes there's nothing simple about it!). Maybe you're looking to write a book, or have a baby, or meet new friends, or become more outspoken, or heal chronic illness, or fall in love (with yourself? with your life?).

All these desires qua...

In this Bonus episode, Maia and Mike talk about  waiting for the signs versus just forging ahead without taking stock. About" staying the course” when life is hard, when you’re not seeing any results even though you’re trying insanely hard.

We're talking regimented vs flowy and the ways we get stuck at both ends of the spectrum.

And determining your course based on which end of the spectrum you’re on — a person wh...

Ah, The Four Agreements meets the New Year. This Bonus episode is originally from Maia’s radio show, and recorded at the dawn of 2020.

Well, a hell of a lot has happened since them! With a new preface, recorded by Maia in upstate New York at the turn of the new year 2022, this is an opportunity to take stock of how to clear the slate anytime, not just at specific calendar marks, but also how to approach life afresh any old time.

Usin...

Falling behind has never felt so good! We’re talking anticipation, wreaking havoc, and generally celebrating the extra hour we’ve been mysteriously gifted. 

Because, what is time, really??

Enjoy this mini Bonus episode to Season One of Dirt Road Less Travelled.

We’re talking about how to access the lived experience of faith and trust, minus any religious story or belief system, and no matter what the heck has happened to us.

No matter how much we feel life has let us down, or we’ve let ourselves down.

In fact, we’re looking at how to stop that whole way of looking at things, and completely shift our perspective on our life.

The Trust Frequency: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm by...

Today we’re looking at concrete moments in our lives where we can retroactively see that we got an intuitive hit … and how it felt to ignore it or to follow it.

And then how to use what we learn to make sure we’re tuned into our Intuition. Why? To feel not lost and to feel courageous.

Because our intuition gets blocked and covered up by the experiences we had that us made believe, "I can't trust my instincts". "I ...
