On Our Way Home

We all want to be seen, heard and recognized for all that we do; beyond the superficial compliments. Today we explore the tools we use to raise self awareness around giving and receiving compliments, giving someone recognition, as well as ourselves, and detaching from the "one-upping" types of conversations. We're asking questions around why we want to be recognized, how to go about it, and is it necessary for feeling whole?    Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    True North Tribe:Sign up for our Newsletter!

We’re talking about what it means to give something or someone your power. We’ve all heard the saying “where you attention goes your energy flows” so what are you actually paying attention to? Whether it’s a negative or a positive experience, it shifts our perspective on people, situations and our own inner dialogue. We define Power and provide tools on how to create the life you want.    Instagram: @oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    Sign up for our Newsletter!

You know the feeling. We all do it. Gossip reinforces community values and plays an important social role. Gossip brings togetherness to the people who play by the rules and exposes the behavior that goes against the valued norm. Nicole and Tory share how to use mindful tools within something that will never go away. It’s not your story to tell, but nonetheless, stories will be told. Can you use what you’re about to say as a lesson or mirror for yourself and share YOUR experience instead of lashing out on someone else? They talk about Brene Brown's Truth Vault, Common Enemy Intimacy and acting how you want to feel. Let's lead from a place of understanding, non-judgment and grace even in sticky situations like gossip. 

Nicole and Tory discuss the definition of Asteya, one of the 10 ethical practices of yoga, which means non-stealing. They talk about how it shows up in yoga classes, at home, in relationships, at work and practices you can use to bring more grace and understanding into your life. We steal from others, through competition and one-upping, and from ourselves by constantly rushing to the next thing. Don't steal possibility and power from yourself because of fear.     Follow us @oowhpodcast - Instagram + Facebook    

Last year we were all about discovering what our Truth was. This year we're standing in it. In this episode we check in with what's been going on with us the past 6 weeks, our new yoga teaching jobs and hit refresh on our intentions for the podcast. We talk about the book Braving The Wilderness by Brené Brown and what it means to stand in your Truth. 

The last part of the Mindfulness Mini series! We focus on how to set mindful New Years intentions, mindsets and goals that follow your True North. 

2nd episode of our 3 part Mindfulness Mini Series. The New Year means something different to everyone but at the same time there is this a similar feeling of “newness” and change that has to be made. In Part 2 we break down the tools on how to set the tone for your new resolution/goal and even if you don't have a New Years resolution or goal this can still be applied for any transition in your life. Part 2 is all about BEING in the transition, Part 3 will be the switch!   Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for our Newsletter!

1st episode of our 3 part Mindfulness Mini Series. The New Year means something different to everyone but at the same time there is this a similar feeling of “newness” and change that has to be made. In this mini mindfulness series we’re going to break down our own take on New Year Resolutions, Transitions, Goal Setting, and how to step into your truth. We’re looking into how to set goals based on where you are now so that you have clarity on how to go forward. So OUR goal in this mini mindfulness series is to lay a foundation for any transition and establish a physical practice to compliment your mindfulness one.   Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for our Newsletter!

We're always bringing mindfulness and awareness back to gratitude. In this episode we give you 3 ways to practice and make space for gratitude, be thankful for where you are and how to be grateful for challenging or difficult people. We give you 4 ways to start new conversations with authentic questions that intrigue the person you're talking to and opens the conversation past the boring small talk. 

Along with self talk, we all have an inner critic. The part of us that attached itself to a story, memory or experience and made us believe we can't be who we want to be. The inner critic is quick to stomp on our dreams and always has something to stay to stop us from moving forward. Tory and Nicole share their experience with their own inner critic, a memory it holds on to, and counter the crook with the best friend. They compliment the critic with self love and talk about why we need to start sharing what we love about ourselves out loud.    Follow us on Instagram and Facebook : @oowhpodcast Sign up for our newsletter :  Newsletter!

This is going to be more of an informational episode where we’re laying the foundation to a personality type structure that will help bring clarity to not only yourself, but how you connect with others. We’re using it as a tool to keep you aligned at True North. When you’re at your healthiest and highest level of development within the Enneagram you’re at True North, you’re home and aligned. When you’re further away from this center, you’re more driven by the ego.    Resources: Instagram:@oowhpodcast Facebook: oowhpodcast       Sign up for our Newsletter! https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions/ https://marshill.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Enneagram-Breakdown1.pdf

We’re talking all about communication. It’s the key to any relationship; whether it be with ourselves, each other, friends, family or co-workers. We’re breaking down nonviolent communication, self talk, and give you tools to shift the way you listen and speak in order to bring you back to your true self. We share our experiences with self talk in our working relationship, friendship, motherhood and what it means to observe our thoughts, un-identify from them, and come back to a place of grounding.    Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast  Facebook: oowhpodcast    Sign up for our Newsletter!

Surviving and thriving can live in harmony, it doesn't have to be one or the other. We talk about the Law of Averages and give you ways on how you can constantly show up and create harmony within the chaos of life. When you’re faced with hardship it can throw you off the tracks and makes you feel lost in the shuffle. It’s like when you’re walking a path and your feeling alive and something happens that rocks the boat; how do you keep going? “is this a survival moment or is this life that’s telling me to thrive?” What’s the difference? is it a choice? Is it one or the other or can they work in harmony as one?

We’re talking about all things yoga. We’re back on the mic together and we can’t believe we haven’t had a full episode dedicated to the one thing that empowered and gave us fuel to start our True North journey: yoga. We’ve sprinkled it in here and there but today we’re giving you the real deal. Yoga is the big umbrella which all of our episodes stem from and we want to share what it is, what it means to us, and how you can start or further your practice. It’s a door that opened us up to ourselves and our True North. Follow us Instagram:@oowhpodcast Facebook: oowhpodcast  Sign up for True North Tribe in our Newsletter! Show Notes Quote: "The purpose of all the religions is to give an individual an experience of their origin, and they generally agree that our origin is spirit. And therefore if you like the job of religion is to give people the experience of their spirit. It is always there, but it just may be dormant. And that's what yoga does, that’s why the yoga studios are so full, because the yoga studio gi

Nicole shares her process through setting expectations, dealing with resistance, letting emotions flow, and how to take the next step forward. It’s easy to lose inspiration when in a time or transition. Sometimes the body, mind and heart whisper what it wants or needs and a lot of the time we don’t listen. It might take a little darkness in order see the stars and that can feel like a low point when really, it’s a transition. Nicole explains her connection with the moon, her heart and her current state of mind and how they come together to reveal new light. Learn to be patient with your process, allow change to occur naturally, reflect and appreciate where you are now, instead of trying to create and push for something new.

In Episode 11 we're hearing only from Tory as Nicole is FINALLY on her honeymoon! Tory's received several questions regarding what lead her to her practice and how it's transformed both physically on the mat as well as off the mat, where it's taken her, and just what living in a state of Yoga is rather than just practicing it on the mat.

In Episode 10 we're taking a step back from the deep self-growth talk and stepping towards a glass of wine! We're explaining how we're morning people & what steps help us get up and going, how we're a reflection to each other's professions, and WHY yoga is the answer to all questions we get asked or ask ourselves. 

Today we’re shifting our perspective on what it means to see your reflection in others. Everyone in your life is a mirror. The people you surround yourself with are excellent reminders of the things you like or dislike about yourself. We don’t always like what we see, so how can we use these mirrors as lessons instead of reacting to our reflections? What can we learn about ourselves when we feel jealous and competitive towards someone or irritated and annoyed at the actions of others? Where your energy goes, your attention flows.
