Attitude Awareness Tune-Up
Sometimes we can go on auto-pilot and feel like life is happening to us. Our mind tricks us into believing we have limited or no choice in a matter which is overwhelming. What if you could tap into more choice and feel more at ease? Join us to learn a simple yet powerful practical concept for feeling more empowered.

Slay Your Inner Critic
Our brains can be our best friends or our worst enemies. And since our brain has a natural negative bias (out of survival needs) our negative voices can be very draining and keep us from living the life we want. Join us to learn how to mitigate the impact of your inner critic and quickly recover back to your true authentic self.

Stuck Inside the Box? How to Get Out and Connect with Others
A good clue you’re “in the box” is when you feel emotionally charged/reactive, energy  depletion or just misunderstood. In this session we will focus on 4 boxes we put ourselves in unconsciously and how that impacts our own inner peace and our connections with others, plus you will learn new tools to get you unstuck!

Drop the Drama and Create Better Relationships 
All good stories have 3 types of characters: victim, villain and hero. This dynamic makes for great entertainment, but we’re often unaware that we’re playing these roles in our personal lives. While it can provide short-term payoffs (like being “right”), the costs of maintaining unhealthy relationships are far greater. Join us in learning a fun process that will help you know when you are on the drama game board and how to get off.

(Re)Claim Your Authentic Self
We operate in a rapid-fire world; skimming, sprinting, and stuffing as much as we can into each day – and then we wonder why our gas tank is empty at the end. In this final session, you will learn a simple process that can bring you greater energy and clarity so you can lead a more purposeful life.

Handout 4 Drama Triangle

Handout 5 Values

Handout 5s Circle

The ‘Inner Fitness’ program is designed for accelerated transformation and awakening from the “inside-out”. It is both a reflective and practical program that presents many mental models and practices for those seeking to navigate life with greater ease and joy! You are welcome to attend all five sessions or a single session(s) that fits easily into your schedule.

Session 1: What Story are You Telling
We are story tellers who are continually authoring a story out of which we experience our lives. Some stories have us reacting to the circumstances in our lives and feeling powerless to change them and other stories have us exerting tremendous energy and feeling determined and even defiant to overcome those same circumstances. Both narratives can leave us feeling powerless and/or exhausted. There is a more compelling narrative called ‘The Great Story’, a story in which we easily and delightfully express our passions and talents and having full access to our agency, we consciously choose how to respond to life’s circumstances, feeling empowered and purposeful.

Session 2: Healthy Inner Dialogue
Do you ever wonder who is doing all the chattering in your mind and how this litany of voices is for better or worse, directing your life? When we can recognize and distinguish between our life-affirming versus our life-diminishing voices and develop the habit of deeply listening to our wisest self, we are able to more effectively respond to the challenges and circumstances in our lives and create an exciting vision for living our best lives.

Session 3: Emotional Fluency
So often, we shove our emotions aside or stuff them deep inside because we have not been encouraged to experience them and/or learned how to effectively communicate them. Yet, our emotions are a window into our truth and having access to a full range of our emotions is an essential part of living a deeply satisfying life. When we develop emotional fluency, we establish healthy boundaries, navigate our emotional world with ease, and bring greater energy and aliveness to the whole of our lives.

Session 4: The Joy of Responsibility
Responsibility is typically held as a burden of obligations and expectations that sits heavily upon our shoulders. But when we see responsibility as an opportunity to recognize and take full ownership for our impact on others by either forgiving ourselves for our unintended impact and/or celebrating our brilliance, a new and more empowering definition of responsibility emerges, one that generates the experience of freedom and joy.

Session 5: Embracing Your Value
Many of us have been taught by well intentioned adults and society at large to believe that we are not valuable and that we must demonstrate our value through our achievements and performance. Consider how this ongoing need to prove our value becomes the dominate underlying motivation that fuels our actions and informs our relationships. Alternatively, there is an inside game where we drop the persistent need to provide evidence of our value and instead, embrace and savour the experience of our inherent worth without apology.

Opening your Intuition for Greater Guidance
There is so much more guidance and wisdom available to us than we can come up with in a logical way. In this fun and yet deep experience we’ll open to the messages you need for creating an amazing life and business.

Opening to the Abundance Flow of Life
We are surrounded by a flow of abundance and possibilities, but we can’t always access it. We’ll look at where is the friction is blocking your natural flow. You’ll learn how the Golden Shadow can keep a limit on your thermostat for allowing in more love, joy and creativity and you’ll gain new tools for how to shift into a more open state.

Empower Yourself to Live a life of Purpose, Value and Vision
So often we give our power away to other people, places and things thinking that they will make our lives meaningful and fulfilling. The truth is you are the only one who can empower yourself to live a life that you find personally purposeful, valuable and full of vision for your optimal future by following the inner guidance of your truest deepest highest self.   

Get Clear About Your Life Purpose
Your Life Purpose is what deeply fulfills you 24/7 no matter where you are, who you are with and what you are going through. When you are clear about your Life Purpose and you let it guide you, every day can be positive, purposeful and fulfilling for you.

Living in Alignment with Your Core Values
Your Core Values are your guiding principles, personal golden rules and sacred laws. No one can tell you what they are. They come from within you and have been guiding you your entire life. When you live in alignment with your Core Values you will always feel like you are on the right path and will cultivate love and appreciation for yourself.

Your Message is Your Magic
All day long we send ourselves messages, but it is usually happening on a subconscious level and is oftentimes flowing from limiting beliefs. When you get clear about the message you know is aligned with your higher potential and consciously cultivate it everyday, you will not only tap into daily personal inspiration, but you will uplift and support others as well.

Your Big Vision is Calling You
How can you create a life that you love if you do not have a clear vision of what you actually want? Even if you have clarity about what you actually want, if it is not aligned with who you truly are, then it will not be healthy for you and sustainable amidst life’s many changes. Gaining clarity about and knowing what you truly want in all areas of your life is the foundation for actually creating a life of true fulfillment.

DAY 1: Trusting Your Intuition
Unleash your potential in an enlightening session on trusting your intuition. We live in a world where logic and left-brain thinking reigns supreme, yet most of us have made decisions based on hunches or gut-feels where we can’t necessarily explain how we made these choices. Wouldn’t you like to live in a world that values both the logical and the intuitive? In this session we will learn about tapping into your innate abilities. Just as your remaining senses heighten when you lose one, intuition grows stronger when logic takes a step back. We all share these remarkable abilities; and emotions and bodily feeling are signals that reveal our inner states and information about the world around us. Learn to recognize when your intuition speaks.

DAY 2: What is Your “Why”?
I believe we each have special gifts that we are charged with bringing into the world.  These gifts are our “why”: why we were brought into this world, why we wake up in the morning and why the world needs these gifts.  So, what makes you special?   What are you good at doing?  What makes you proud?  What brings you joy?  We will explore our own individual purposes, by tapping into each era of our lives and noting what made us shine.  Rolling those special moments up, we will explore the themes that arise and make plans to bring our “why’s” into the world.

DAY 3: How to Get What You Want: Banish the “Yeah, Buts”
Change your thinking to get what you want and deserve.  So many times, we reach out to get what we want only to talk ourselves out of it later.  We stop ourselves because we fear standing out, or we believe our own negative self-talk.  We will explore this self-talk in a safe way, looking at how these ways of thinking served to keep us safe when we were younger. By re-writing the rules for a new era in your life you can begin to move confidently toward bringing your gifts into the world.

DAY 4: Anatomy of a Calling
Callings are often thought of as an exceptional skill in certain areas, but can also mean exceptional passion, even in an area in which we have little to no skill.  We each have a seed of a calling in us. Have you ever heard someone talking, or read a book, or worked with a group of people, and inexplicably felt such an urgency to learn or help more? We will explore “callings” and the idea that we were made for something big, and we will work together to see how we can bring some of our callings into our lives.

DAY 5: Your Ideal Day
So many times, we settle for less.  We decorate our homes to match someone else’s style, we work at boring jobs because they have good benefits, we socialize with people who don’t really “get” us, we eat food we don’t enjoy, and we spend time just pretending to care about things just because other people do.  In this class, I will take you on a group journey to discover your ideal day.  With no constraints, what would your ideal day include?  Would you wake up in Parisian pied-à-terre, or in a Brazilian tree-house?  Will you dress in flip-flops and a flowing skirt, or a tailored suit? Who is on the guest list for lunch? Maybe Oprah, Gandhi, extended family, or maybe just a quiet lunch with yourself? Get ready to play and dream big dreams! After our journey, we will note themes and explore ways to make these dreams into reality.

Stories That Will Change Your Life
Stories are the fabric of life weaving us all together.  Join Jessica in listening to different life stories that will touch your heart.  You will then learn how to tell your story in a way that will change your life in the most spectacular ways.

Illuminate Your Dreams
Now more than ever we need to be living our dreams so we can lift our self and others.  Using self-reflection exercises, we will use this time to get clear on what it is you want to create in your life whether it be a new career, a stronger relationship, or feeling more peace.

Master Your Mindset
You will be guided to go within to see what belief systems might be holding you back and what new mindsets you can use to support you in living your best life.

Do Less for More
We will slow down to look at how you are using your precious energy and identify how to use it in the best way possible to bring more joy, fulfillment, and balance in your life.

Bring Your Dream to Life
Get ready for some fun!  We will use the energy of the group to bring a dream in your heart to life in a creative and upbeat way.

Whether single or in a romantic relationship, we each want satisfying relationships. Yet, we often find ourselves wedged inside patterns that stymie us. Research suggests that the quality of our closest relationships is predictive of our longevity. We know relationships take work, but few of us know what that work entails. Thereal work of relationships isn’t occasional, it’s continuous.

Certified and trained by Terry Real, founder of Relational Life Therapy, I will teach you the essential skills to build and maintain intimacy in five sessions. 

Session 1: Self Esteem and Boundaries: We often lose sight of our inherent worth. We need to rediscover compassion for our humanness and hold ourselves with warm regard regardless of what we do. In this session, you will uncover the external ways we look for validation and learn what healthy emotional boundaries look like and how to sustain them.

Session 2: Five Losing Strategies: Five losing strategies imperil relationships. I will assist you in identifying yours and in understanding how they prevent intimacy and connection. It boils down to treating yourself kindly and not with shame. You will do better when you know better and have needs met in a winning way.

Session 3: The Neurobiology of the Relational Brain: I will introduce you to the “adaptive child” and “wise adult” parts of the brain and free you to see where you go when you get triggered and why.

Session 4: Five Winning Strategies: Five winning strategies enhance intimacy and connection. Here we will explore how to get needs met by empowering your partner (whether mother, adult, child, co-worker, friend) to give you what you need.

Session 5: Listener/Speaker Roles and the Feedback Wheel: Learn how to be a good listener and good speaker and how to use the “feedback wheel” as essential skills for better communication and connection.

What if there was more to life than logic or certainty? If we’ve learned anything over the last few years, it is that we need to build our capacity to navigate the ups and downs of life. In this session, you’ll learn 3 ways to be more grounded, present, and focused on what matters most so that you can create a strong inner foundation.

Prioritize THIS. Not That
Focus on what matters. Set strong boundaries. You hear this all the time. But, how do you know what to prioritize? The secret is that you need to know what actually matters to you. In this session, you’ll explore how to align to and embody your core values – the traits that make you uniquely YOU. .

Get Curious
When was the last time you weren’t trying to change something about yourself? What if you could move out of fixing mode, not-enoughness, and past or future thinking and be guided by curiosity and compassion? In this session you’ll explore the practice of identifying, naming, and investigating the stories you tell yourself. You’ll make room for a new narrative grounded in your own inner wisdom and love.

Say YES to Your Aliveness
Release the past and future to create space for living your ideal life. Get out of your head and step boldly into your heart. Embrace your inner storyteller to visualize and manifest what feels most delicious in your heart. Create your own personal roadmap, guided by your inner strength and wisdom, to write the next chapter in your life.

Life has pain. Despite your best intentions, things go wrong. How do you usually react when things fall apart? Often, people feel ashamed and self-critical, thinking “What’s wrong with me?” No matter how hard you try to avoid emotional pain, it’s everywhere. Can you make a change this year and learn to respond to pain differently? Instead of thinking that you are broken and need to be fixed, these sessions teach how to relate to emotional pain in a more compassionate and loving way. This series will explore a radical, scientifically supported way to respond to pain: through self-compassion.

Defining Self-Compassion.
Simply put, self-compassion is taking care of yourself, just as you would care for someone you love dearly. In this session, we will explore the three parts of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness. We will apply this lesson through compassionate emotion surfing.

Experiencing Self-Love.
In this session, you will enjoy experiential practices of affectionate breathing, compassionate self-touch, and gratitude for yourself. We will explore the reality of the negativity brain bias and over-ride that tendency with self-appreciation.

The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion.
Is self-compassion always just a fluffy, touchy-feeling practice? Not at all! There is a fearsome side! This session focuses on the two sides of self-compassion, emphasizing the yin (comforting, soothing, validating) and yang (protecting, providing, motivating).

Nonjudgmental Acceptance.
“What you resist persists. What you feel can heal.” When you hate, resist, and judge yourself, you get stuck. This session explores how to befriend yourself, just as you are. We examine the inner critic and replace it with a compassionate coach.

Embracing your Body with Self-Compassion.
Your sense of self is often closely identified with your body, and it can be painful when your body doesn’t look, behave, or feel the way you want. In this final session, we will apply our core strategies of non-judgmental mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness – specifically toward your body.
