Overcome the Fear of 'singlehood'| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 2
It is something that we all experience; singlehood. A time in which you are un-partnered, indivisible by one. To be single is to consist as a separate and unique whole.
And still, it may be the most avoided and feared experience together with public speaking and something that most of us would not like to admit - the fear of being alone and ‘un’ partnered as one enters the latter chapters of one’s life.
There is the obvious reason for why so many people yearn to be a part of a couple. We want to experience love and to to be loved; and to love another. It is a part of why we exist.
The love that two people share in a partner relationship has the potential to grow, to evoke and transform each one of us as we enjoy a sacred bond with another.
But if you fear being alone then what you will attract; what you will draw to you; what you will settle for will never be enough because it is chosen out of fear and not love, confidence, desire based on autonomy.
What is it that motivates us to begin looking for the next relationship and a new person to “make us happy” when the truth is... a lack of happiness can only be fixed from within one’s self.
Ultimately happiness is a choice. It is the freedom that you bring to everything you do.
It is the appreciation and love that you hold for yourself, and the choices that you make independent of another person that reminds you that you are enough; you are more than enough.
Bobby admitted to himself and to me that he was afraid of being alone. An only child to parents who themselves had a tumultuous relationship; there were some well-driven fears that were relatable. His father’s unstable mental health was a discriminant factor in what became a lonely and bittersweet marriage that drifted apart early in Bobby’s life. His mother, never remarried and his father’s relationships with women were filled with drama and conflict.
One can understand the desire for not wanting to be alone; for as an only child one can feel alone in the world; and especially after a parent or both passes.
To fear being alone means that you don’t feel the significance of being with yourself. To feel alone is to ignore the relationship with yourself that you have the potential to experience; that is how you learn that you are already complete, already whole.
Join me in this episode of 'ask dorothy' of The WISDOM podcast and why you need to be single for a time; why this time is significant in which to develop the relationship you hold with yourself. Then, with the confidence and self-love you possess, and the clarity of what you want in a partner; you will manifest this.

When Is It Burnout?| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 83
If you are listening because you have been wondering if what you are feeling is burnout, if the past nearly sixteen months at the time of release of this episode has been some of the most challenging of your adult life and if you can’t seem to shake the lack of motivation ~ the dulled or blunted emotions, the constant pressure you have placed upon yourself and what you feel from others and the chronic emotional and physical exhaustion that has become your new normalcy, here I offer some of the best strategies and novel ideas to help you shake the feeling of exhaustion and burnout that you’ve been living with in one full swoop.
The prescription is simple; the challenge will be to make this a new solid habit that you integrate as a lifestyle practice.
Dive in with me to this. You are closer than you think to reaching the other side; to release the symptoms of burnout and instead enjoy the experience of continual rejuvenation, relief, imagination, inspiration and hope.
Listen as I share my client Kim's* story of how she unknowingly crossed over into the zone of burnout and what best practices and strategies were most helpful to change her approach to her work and to the rest of her life.

What's Beneath Your Anger?| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 81
A recent session with my client Hayley illuminated what we have all experienced; and what surfaced during our time together was the simplicity of what you can do to help yourself in situations where you feel an unwanted and uncomfortable emotion. In Hayley’s case, she identified it as agitation, irritation, and a growing feeling of anger.
I dove right in to the question: What’s beneath the anger? Hayley laughed and replied, “Good question!”
Sometimes we just need to stop for a moment and do a deep dive into our self. Our focus can be on getting through something or pushing past an emotion and we may not realize how important it is to stop and acknowledge our feelings. Hayley knew immediately why she was feeling unnerved and – her words: “unraveled”.

Social Anxiety: What You Don't Want People to Notice| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 79
Have you ever felt anxious or awkward in social settings?
I explained to my client Kara that social anxiety is an experience that happens to us all.
An invitation to a party; work colleagues that you know fairly well but there is also a room of other people that you will have only just met. You arrive late and after a long shift at work; but in honesty you’ve been procrastinating as you got ready and secretly hoped that you could maybe just blow the party off; except you do want to go. When you arrive, everyone is already seated around a large dining table, eating, talking, laughing; and now all eyes are on you. You have difficulty breathing and making eye contact as the host introduces you to each person around the table. You wish you stayed home but everyone seems so friendly, well maybe everyone except her; the woman that staring you up and down. You’ve forgotten what you’ve just said to a question someone has asked, and you don’t know where you should sit and is that an open seat? ...and why is this so difficult?
These are some of the rapid fire thoughts that cross your mind as your heart is racing; pounding so loud that your own voice seems inaudible. You feel self-conscious; you should have worn the other outfit you had lying on your bed; you dressed up way too much compared with everyone else. What have you gotten yourself into?
Join me in this episode as we discuss:
What is a social situation?
When does social anxiety becomes a problem?
The symptoms of social anxiety disorder; and
The best treatment approaches.

How Long Have You Waited For Love?| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast S2 E77
For so many clients it is in that very first session that we chart a course for the journey deep within; a journey that is often overdue; a journey that will help free clients from what hurts and trauma have caused them to doubt in their ability to feel whole and of peace; a journey that safely guides them into healing, love, acceptance and approval for what was not given freely and without conditions ~ and of which they (sometimes unknowingly), are now ready to give to themselves.
How Long Have You Waited For Love?
We are beginning to understand that love must be willingly given to our self ~ that we cannot thrive in the absence of it and we do not need to wait for someone to love us to feel loved.
Love as a feeling and a state of being that is experienced out of living in self-love.
Each one of us is equipped to love and to give love ceaselessly. We are all hard wired for this ~ to love yourself and to love others and to do this as the love of one human being to another.
It may be that we need to practice self-love ~ to first learn it and to be reminded of the ways that we already do this.
The experience of love directed inward is how we reclaim our power and our wholeness.
To direct love inward through words and actions of loving-kindness is how we walk the planet in perfect oneness; feeling attuned with our ability to feel loved.
Here I share the story of my client Sara* and her partner Dana* and the many self-sacrifices that Sara made in order to keep the relationship even as it became strife and emotional turmoil ~ in tact.
*The names here have been changed to maintain confidentiality. My client’s story is real.
Sending you great 💜love...

What Are My Boundaries?| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 72
The topic of boundaries is a popular theme in therapy and an important personal practice when you are seeking to make your life better and to feel an ease in happiness.
When you have clear and present boundaries that you live by, it makes it easier to navigate your life.
It allows you the autonomy to always choose based on your needs and highest values; and others appreciate and respect that you know yourself well and are consistent – in your words and actions.
The definition of a boundary is: something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent.
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I share one client’s journey to repair the damage of not having healthy boundaries in place with the solution of building those boundaries – now.
If your needs and requests have not being heard nor respected by others; it’s time to get clear about what is okay and what you no longer will continue.
Setting boundaries and then upholding them begins with a change in how you think and your willingness to honor yourself first.
If you are unhappy with how others treat you – if you have felt a lack of care and respect in the value that others show you; and if others consistently make demands of you; of your time, help, efforts, and also love – you may be listening because you realize it's time to set your boundaries and to better uphold what you decide for how you want to exist in your life; and the parameters for your relationships.
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

How To Correct The Habits You Keep| A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 67
If you have been wanting to fix something about how you have been living your life, please listen on. This episode is to help you get unstuck, to eliminate old habits and to help you become inspired to build the new success habits that you have wanted.
These simple life hacks are the best practices for how to change. This is your road map back to yourself. 💜
Hannah blamed the many lockdowns and the mandatory social isolating during the height of COVID for the life habits that she had succumbed to; endless hours sitting on her couch watching tv, scrolling through her social media, and eating. But the truth was that these were habits that were already well ingrained.
Waking each morning to brewing coffee whilst she went outside on the balcony to smoke. Scrolling through her social media feed and watching random tv as the first activities of her morning were examples of disconnection, emptiness and a lack of joy.
We all live by habits. Our deep-seated ways of being are often on autopilot so that even the habits that we enjoy ~ perhaps like brewing freshly roasted organic coffee, or a soothing matcha green tea are experiences that we no longer appreciate nor savor.
If you didn’t practice self-love before this global pandemic, If your will to seeing your best possible outcome was wavering; then you likely haven’t been thriving in the way that you could. To enjoy self-care and self-love and to be disciplined in what steps you take to ensure that you are caring for yourself; is one of the most important and gratifying actions that you could live each day. Discipline is work.
Which is why it's important to hold very clear in your mind what the outcome and goal truly looks and feels like so that you can achieve this. Self-love is also work; it requires the ongoing self-care that translates into you being important enough that you don’t give up on yourself.
Changing habits means rethinking how you have been living; what you prioritize as important and relearning the habits that make you a priority.
Join me for this episode of 'ask dorothy' and a deep dive into the change that you have been in search of.

Where Do I Begin?
'ask dorothy'
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 57
Your answers are waiting for you.
💜
Where Do I Begin?
This is a natural response to the idea of beginning therapy for those who have never had the experience.
---
Where you begin is with: self-honesty and the willingness to see yourself accurately as you are.
Sometimes in my work with clients this becomes a focus over several sessions when someone has been living a life that is skewed - a reality that has allowed them to continue in unhealthy and dishonest habits and certainly unhealthy relationships.
Be willing to look at your dark side - the parts of you that keep you from living as your best self.
Moments when you are inauthentic, dishonest, unkind, hurtful to yourself or others - and to what ongoing narratives keep you feeling stuck, sad, lonely, afraid and anxious and ultimately suffering.
Where do you begin?
Begin with something that you want to effectively change - to make better, to overcome.
Begin with addressing a part of yourself that is causing your suffering - a part of the past that is yet unresolved - or a current state of being in which you feel hurt, sad, unwanted, unloved.
Therapy is to give you the right tools so that you can live a happier existence - to live wholly honest and truthful and to guide your life in a way that feels most meaningful, complete, full and rewarding.
Sending you great 💜 love...

Be Honest With Yourself | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 2 Episode 47
There is a choice that we make at some early point in our developmental process. It often goes undetected. It is a point and space in time in which we distinctly forgo some or much of our innate confidence and the pure knowing of who we are and what is important to us in trade for what we are being taught in the replete messages in the world and through our caregivers; of how we are to be socially acceptable, how we are to best fit in, and to be approved of by others.
It is at this precipice that we put aside some of what we know to be true and begin a conversation in our mind that preempts what our heart is speaking. If we continue to live here; in the space and time of the world inside our mind and in the thoughts that we convincingly hold; we may build a life, influenced by what others have said and told us we must do, rather than what truth and integrity we hold from witnessing our inner landscape and the intimate portrayal of honesty and integrity that rivals nothing.
We all know how to live in our truth. We as a collective, and as a human race have moved in various degrees away from this; and some of us have dangerously ventured into a space that we have constructed in our mind that makes it okay to behave in ways that is self-governed in dishonest acts.
And yet there is always an inner honing device, called consciousness; that is resistant to what thoughts and convincing beliefs you may hold; that allows you the inner integrity of conscience.
At what age did you begin to compromise your truth to yourself by the thoughts that you told yourself and believed, and perhaps the thoughts that were once the words and messages spoken by others? At what time did you notice this and call it back; to live in the honest truth of what is?
My client is a high performer in every aspect of her life; and excels in all of her courses as well as the game of basketball and soccer to which she plays at an elite level.
As well, this client’s anxiety was a lot bigger than she ever admitted to. The stress of always needing to do her best in everything and to constantly compete with her peers in school and in sport, took its toll on her body beyond what she was able to comprehend.
Recently, she developed gastrointestinal problems that were exacerbated by anxiety. She had recently been scheduled for surgery to repair the damage of her bleeding ulcer.
In our most recent session, this client had an epiphany, when she allowed herself to say out loud, "I'm not honest with myself."
How many of us could or would admit this?
Join me in this 'ask dorothy' episode of The WISDOM podcast. 💜
