Mindfulness and the path to feeling less s*itty
Huddol Lifecast Episode 49
In this latest Huddol Lifecast, we talk with co-authors Kate Petriw and Nina Purewal about their recently released book: Let that s*it go: Find peace of mind and happiness in your everyday.
Kate and Nina talk about the importance of mindfulness practice, not only as a tool for personal transformation, but also as a vehicle through which we change the world and our relationship to others.
As we unpack our s*it and be present with it, we start to do the deep healing work that aligns our inner and outer worlds, bringing them into greater balance. Nina and Kate remind us that what lives within, lives without. Any s*ittiness we experience in the world has a counterpart in the clouded places of the mind.

Past self, present self: How we rewrite the stories of our lives
Huddol Lifecast Episode 47
Life can sometimes feel like a soap opera; same actions, same reactions, same outcomes.
Much of what is unfulfilling, anxiety-provoking or stressful in our lives has to do with the stories we tell our selves about ourselves that get replayed over and over again in our day to day experience.
How do our stories about ourselves get created in the first place?
Why are they so sticky and hard to shake?
Why is so much of what we think about ourselves negative?
How do we begin to rewrite the stories of our lives and create a new way of being in the world?
Huddol Pro and Mental Health Therapist Ilana Blume talks about the process of becoming aware of the unhelpful stories we tell ourselves and how we activate the process of rewriting the script to experience life with fresh, open eyes.

Freedom from suffering: The body and the experience of emotional pain
Huddol Lifecast Episode 46
While it often feels like our emotional pain is flowing from our minds and thoughts, many people experience their emotions in their bodies – stress in their neck or anxiety in their stomach for example.
The opposite pf expression is repression – what we hold on to can manifest through our bodies. To process our emotional distress and move it out of our body so it doesn’t get stuck there, we need to learn to express our emotions in a healthy way. But first, we need to learn to recognize and accept our feelings as they come and go across the totality of our being.
Huddol Pro and Counselor Derek De Braga talks about the importance of understanding how we can move through painful emotions by becoming more in tune with our bodies.

Mindfulness: Everything you thought about you is misleading
Huddol Lifecast Episode 45
Mindfulness; the practice of being aware of your awareness. Seems simple enough. It is, and it isn’t, which makes talking about it so very complicated. Words are no match for the immensity of this moment.
Our minds are clouded with endless judgments and interpretations which, when glued together, we call our “selves”. As we become constrained by the beliefs we box ourselves in with, we become increasingly distracted by the game of hide and go seek we play with our performative selves. The present moment is endlessly elusive when we are lost in the flurry of past and future thinking and the stage - show that is “me”. This is the beginning of conflict, strain, and stress, living out of touch with the here and now.
Talking with Mindfulness Teacher David Frank Gomes about how we befriend the present moment and embrace the immensity of who we truly are.

Re-writing your life’s story: How you will yourself forward in a period of transition
Huddol Lifecast Episode 44
The pandemic is a lesson in change. The inextricable truth is that our lives are mutable and endlessly becoming. Change is the groundwork for opportunity. It also means facing adversity and the tension between what was and what is. We can choose to resist change, or we can embrace it.
In conversation with Life Coach Kate Snow about the lessons she learned from a life of radical transition; from the so-called perfect home, perfect partner and perfect life to a deep experience of loss and starting over. What are the qualities that define those who rise up and meet the moment and those that wither in the face of big or small changes? Kate speaks honestly about the inner qualities that nurture flexibility and adaptability during periods of transition.

The Inner More: How less can invite abundance into our live
Huddol Lifecast Episode 43
What are the real necessities of life? How do we understand what is superfluous in our lives that may be distracting us from the fullness of our being?
When life strips back the peripherals, we are confronted with ourselves without distractions. COVID has literally invited millions of people simultaneously to ask themselves some profound questions about what they want and expect from their lives.
Personal Well-Being Coach and Huddol Pro Eric Russell talks about finding the inner resolve to look at our lives without distraction and identification with things that are transient. As we look inward, we discover a deep well of intelligence that we can draw on to live a life of true abundance and endless growth.

Taking down the walls of the closet: Living authentically through our gendered lives
Huddol Lifecast Episode 42
In an effort to live an authentic life, it is essential to observe and understand what it is about the life we are leading that makes it inauthentic to begin with.
There is a false paradigm of gender and sexuality that is built around a framework of binaries - We are either born a man or a woman. We are thrust into this world where we are forced to conform to these ideas even before we have a firm grasp on what they mean. The moment we notice that we don’t conform, we may feel the only alternative is to throw ourselves into a world of make-believe, living out our gender expression through what others deem acceptable.
In this latest Huddol Lifecast, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Pro & Educator, Anthony Francis Lombardi invites us to break down the walls that confine our ideas of gender and sexuality. Anthony encourages us to bravely embrace the transition from a life of inauthentic obligation to one of authentic freedom – to be fully who we are…

Unlocking the mysteries of you: The enneagram and the re-discovery of self
Huddol Lifecast Episode 40
We learn from a very young age a way of being in the world that creates what we believe to be the conditions through which we find love and acceptance. These conditions continue to influence and shape us well into adulthood. With time, contexts change. Yet, many of the coping styles we developed in childhood persist – some adaptive, some maladaptive. Moving into adulthood, we may find ourselves feeling out of sync with what we want because we’re living out old and unhelpful patterns.
In this latest Huddol Lifecast, we talk with Natacha Ciezkowki about how we begin to understand these patterns that govern our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Natacha describes how the enneagram, a tool for self discovery, helps us map the various aspects of our self in order to unlock unrealized potential.

Can we move forward together? What to do when your relationship feels broken
Relationships are like a bike. If one or two of the tires are deflated the bike simply cannot move forward. When we feel stressed out in a relationship, very often, we blame or want to fix the the the other person we are involved with. If you recognize yourself making statements such as: “He or she makes me or causes me to feel bad”, you may be setting yourself up for unresolved feelings and a stalled relationship. The people in our lives are not responsible to take care of how we feel. Listen as Huddol Pro and Personal Coach Danusia Lapinski explores a world where we start to re-own our feelings and recreate in ourselves the conditions for relationship success.

Me, myself and why: Learning to feel good when you’re alone with yourself
Huddol Lifecast Episode 36
Macaulay Culkin taught us the virtues of being home alone. The reality is that a lot of people would tell you they feel totally uncomfortable when they’re alone. Why? Why are we constantly trying to find ways to distract ourselves from our thoughts and feelings? How come no one teaches us to simply be with ourselves given that we spend a lifetime in our own company?
Huddol Pro and Mental Health Therapist Ilana Blumenkranz talks about the fear of being alone and how we maladaptively respond to that fear. Ilana suggests that the fear and anxiety that may be provoked in our alone state may actually be an opportunity to connect more deeply to ourselves and to the world around us.

The pandemic is unsettling. People are feeling like they are living in bizarro world. Seclusion, isolation, less work, more kids, more line-ups for things we previously took for granted – everything feels upside down or at last very sideways.

By taking back control over our lives we ground ourselves in the now, shift our attention towards the things we have power over, and cultivate resilience and emotional immunity:
