The holiday season is in full force and you might be finding yourself amidst trigger after trigger! Or maybe you're dreading the final week of the year because of all the obligations you need to meet for others, not to mention the stress you put on yourself to have a "perfect" holiday season!Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/G_x7buVBTS8Although this time is advertised to be merry and bright, we all know that it's also a time of familiar stress and age-old emotional triggers...possibly causing you to feel guilt, anxiety, regret or sadness.In this episode, we dive into the three most common triggers of the season: FOOD, FAMILY, FINANCES. Between both of us, we have had our fair share of triggers (holidays or not) with respect to the 3 F's and share our personal experiences navigating them.This conversation is ideal even if it's not currently the holiday season because the way we move through and heal from triggers is the same all year round - compassionately and warmly relating to your internal experience with acceptance. We are here to offer you ways to prepare, manage, and move through these triggers consciously and with intention. Rather than letting these triggers take over your joy, we suggest simple perspective shifts to remind you of your power to choose how you experience this season.This episode is for you if you want to approach the holidays with trust in yourself, knowing that getting triggered doesn’t have to ruin your holiday experience. You are bigger than your triggers, and with these mindset shifts, you can create a holiday season that feels grounded, intentional, and meaningful.--Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!):https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityJoin our retreat waitlist for APRIL 2025 by signing up here:https://shorturl.at/fojjyHeal your money wound & manifest abundance in Sam's newest course 'Abundantly Ever After:'https://simplifyingsam.kartra.com/page/AbundantlyEverAfter--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ginabourneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ginabourneFor all inquiries, email us at:[email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

With the holidays upon us, along with their manufactured capitalist joys, are you starting to feel stressed about the year coming to a close? Maybe you're beginning to feel behind as you reflect on the goals you set for 2024?Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/GrVUms7-fMAThis conversation was inspired by our own personal experiences of feeling panicked when previous years came to an end. They often brought up a lot of self-judgment related to our yearly expectations and goals. Instead of truly celebrating, resting, or expressing gratitude and joy, we’d get stuck in spirals of resistance about how the year hadn’t met our expectations—or we’d project our fears onto the upcoming year.Rather than rejoicing in all that we had done throughout the year, December became a sort of "Judgment Day," where we’d review our shortcomings and inevitably end up setting extremely high standards for the new year. This, of course, creates stress and distracts us from the present, because we're so busy thinking about what could have been or what should be next year, that we can't even be here- now.This conversation will be a healing balm for anyone who struggles to be present during the holidays without incessant stress and self-judgment. It will empower you to initiate a sense of renewal in any given moment, rather than waiting for a future day to bring that to you.This episode is for you if:-You experience the end of the year with stress, panic, and self-judgment-You tend to set New Year’s resolutions only to end up disappointed in yourself weeks or months later-You can’t fully rest or enjoy yourself during the holidays because you’re already thinking about how to tackle 2025--Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!):https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityJoin our retreat waitlist for APRIL 2025 by signing up here:https://shorturl.at/fojjyHeal your money wound & manifest abundance in Sam's newest course 'Abundantly Ever After:'https://simplifyingsam.kartra.com/page/AbundantlyEverAfter--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ginabourneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ginabourneFor all inquiries, email us at:[email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Do you constantly feel the pressure to grow, grow, grow? Maybe you’re an entrepreneur and feel like you are always behind in sales, content, clients, etc. Or perhaps you feel constantly behind in your own personal growth. It’s as if there is always more money to make, more books to read, or more habits to change.Watch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/z0xmdqrgAW4So in this episode, we offer the perspective that has completely freed us of the pressure to constantly scale and grow. We are still creating, showing up and serving our community…but NOT at the cost of our own sanity and health. We have re-committed to our original intentions for this podcast and have chosen the path of organic, delicious, sustainable growth over forced expansion - which is a pattern we all downloaded from the capitalism society and norms we are steeped in.And listen, growth is not bad! But it’s also not inherently good either. It’s neutral. By listening to this conversation, your core beliefs about growth will be challenged and give you the space to consider what you truly want out of the things you keep trying to grow. It’s time to take a step back from the rat race and think deeply about your own unique recipe for the life satisfaction you crave.Timestamps:01:50 The Decision to Not Scale04:57 Reconnecting with Intentions09:56 Challenging The “I Must Always Grow” Narrative12:37 The Cost of Ceaseless Growth15:44 Finding Balance in Entrepreneurship19:48 Redefining Success and Satisfaction23:57 The Illusion of Constant Growth27:41 Embracing Change and Preferences32:32 The Freedom to Choose--Join our FREE community: (We host free calls every month!):https://tinyurl.com/SpiralinghighercommunityJoin our retreat waitlist for APRIL 2025 by signing up here:https://shorturl.at/fojjyHeal your money wound & manifest abundance in Sam's newest course 'Abundantly Ever After:'https://simplifyingsam.kartra.com/page/AbundantlyEverAfter--Apply for 1:1 coaching with Sam:https://www.simplifyingsam.com/1on1coachingApply for 1:1 coaching with Gina:https://tinyurl.com/1on1coachingbteFollow Spiraling Higher:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/spiralinghigherFollow Simplifying Sam:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@simplifying.samInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplifying.samFollow Gina:Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ginabourneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ginabourneFor all inquiries, email us at:[email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
