The Radical Self-Care Roadmap

The Practice of Embodiment

MODULE ONE

WHAT'S INSIDE

No more dumbing down or numbing out - no lamenting your shortcomings nor limitations - this is our first step together. Everything you will do during these next four weeks will occur in your body, so we’re going to start here, step outside of what you’ve been taught and get radical! Here, we set you up for success by naming your challenges and perceived limitations and making a plan for how you can make the most out of what you’ve got - from this point forward. No looking back. No running away. We are going inside :: into your body... and into your life!

HIGHLIGHTS:

Take the Embodiment Quiz : This assessment will serve as the sparks that eventually become the full blown light in your life (aka your personalized Radical Self-Care Plan) we will create together by the end of our 28 days on this journey). Who knew that bringing a little light into your life could be easy as getting to know what’s really going on BEFORE even getting started.

Discover Your “Sweet Spot” : By asking yourself a few key questions, you will determine the best type, conditions, place and in whose company, your self-care will be the most fruitful, enjoyable and energizing for you. Knowing your “sweet spot" will not only inspire you into action, but it will also eliminate the procrastination and priorities that often back-burner your best intentions for taking care of yourself.

Begin to Map Out Your Personal Self-Care Schedule so that you know right away how you are going to welcome self-care into your life, your home, and your family instead of succumbing to the dreadful exhaustion inherent to running the hamster wheel and neglecting to
“put your oxygen mask on first”.

Practice: Now that you’ve got a deeper understanding of what it means to “embody" your life, you’ll be given a menu of practices to choose from, and you will begin to sprinkle in little sparks of light into you life to help you take better care of yourself, others, and the world... (but YOU first!)

Reset Your Mind

MODULE TWO

Whether you start getting real with how you are using wine or Netflix to cope, or you start asking yourself some meaningful questions about what needs to shift inside of you for the world to not feel so chaotic and challenging “out there*; giving yourself an equal dose of vigilance, thoughtfulness, and compassion will shine light on how you do YOU". Knowing how your mind operates will make it all that much easier to add in life-sized practices and strategies to enhance your health, reset your nervous system and reclaim your life.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Mend Mental Energy Leaks: Your energy is your everything and by determining where you are “leaking" and how you can begin to fill those leaks, you will be Immediately energized and naturally begin to turn your attention, calmly and with intention to the things that fill you rather than deplete you.

Change Your Mind: Once you determine what isn’t working (aka your energy leaks), your vitality will increase, and with it, you will be way more resilient! You will feel -first-hand - how facing life’s pressures and challenges with these tools and your supportive community by your side feeds you, rather than depletes you. Changing your mind will change your life, I promise!

See Things Differently: Not only will you discover how challenging it is to make life-enhancing decisions when you’re “wearing the wrong prescription" but you will also see how taking care of yourself is the absolute BEST thing you can do for your family, your work, and the world. (It all starts with YOU!)

Practice: With your new perspective, you will have a clear sense of where you are, and how little it takes, to slowly and steadily, weave sparks of light into your life, so you are mentally clear, vital and resilient.

SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY

Heart Wisdom

MODULE THREE

Your heart has its own language - and when it is open and unguarded, it will inevitably tell you when you are on the right path or have gotten lost in the woods. In this module we will be looking at the heart from both where we long to be (to tap into our potential) and where we may have been (learning from the past and making the most of it).

HIGHLIGHTS:

The Five Keys to An Open Heart: Here we look at the five senses and use them, literally, to move us from stressed out and emotionally fragile (or rigid), to relaxed and able to see and access our available self-care tools.

The Link Between Forgiveness + Self-Care: The heart is free when it is open - no longer holding onto past wounds or losses - no matter if they were inflicted by ourselves, others, or the world. In this module you will look at how forgiveness plays into your ability to receive and to give energy in this life, how all of this plays into self-care and what you can do today to relax the grip life (or another) has on your heart.

The Magic of “Same But Different": Perhaps the favorite of all modules, here you discover that you can do most of the same things in your life and feel yourself brimming with nourishment, rather than feeling devoid of energy and inspiration. So you keep giving of yourself to others and the world... (trust me, here) with a few more potent tools under your belt, and you watch the powerful, potent impact you can make WITHOUT depletion!

Practice: With a clear understanding of how potent your own heart is in the big picture of self-care, you tend to the heart through the body and the mind (building on modules 1 & 2) and add another stunningly simply layer of practices to your Radical Self-Care Plan.

live from your heart...

Set Your Spirit Free

MODULE FOUR

There is a super important (and often under-recognized) connection between your “spirit", your very unique way of being in the world, and self-care. Living your best life - rich with energy, clear vision, trust, hope and happiness- isn't a one-size-fits-all recipe. Building a sustainable foundation for your life is a personalized combination that infuses your intellect, reason, passions, creativity, awarenesses, understandings, and even ‘judgments' to forge a clear and personalized path that ONLY you can walk. When you walk this path, you will experience a new-found freedom and happiness like NO other and everybody benefits!

HIGHLIGHTS:

Personalize, Personalize, Personalize : Here you fine-tune your approach to self-care by getting super clear on what is truly your desire and what benefits you, versus what you may have been taught would be “good for you". Then, you pitch out what isn't working, and bring in more and more of what does... One baby step at a time.

Understanding Shame, blame, guilt and responsibility :
This section just might blow your mind a little! When you discover why you really feel these emotions, and further shift your perspective... even just a few degrees... you’ll find yourself having a crystal-clear understanding of
what you’ve been working on and how simple and doable self-care is and how MUCH you gain from gettin’ your self-care ON!

Inoculate Yourself : One last-but definitely not least- section to this life-changing program, here is where you anticipate the roadblock and detours life is going to put in your seemingly clear path, and you make an emergency kit" for getting through life’s challenges, so that you don’t lose your way - and if you do for a second - you have everything you need to get back on track.

Your Radical Self-Care Plan Wrap-Up : This is it, Pretty! Here is where you finalize-with-flexibility your Radical Self-Care Plan and put it into full-on practice, supported by all of these incredible (and way too often understated) embodied practices. Now you are ready to face whatever life throws your way - and you’ve got all you need -- including a community — to remain grounded, flexible, upward rising, inspired and free!
