Season 1

This week your host, Maureen Spielman, shares why connection to yourself is the most important skill to cultivate. This is the first of a series of 3 episodes entitled The Full Circle Series (stay tuned for the following two episodes on Connection to the Mystical and Connection to Community). By focusing on creating a compassionate relationship within, you show up differently in your relationships and in the world. Maureen revisits why she created the Mystical Sisterhood podcast and invites you to consider introspective questions about your own life (see below).

Coaching Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • If you had a magic wand, what would you create in your life?
  • What qualities do you seek to experience in your life? Abundance, play, fun, health?
  • Have these changed over the past few years?
  • If you could change one or two things right now, what would they be?
  • What limiting beliefs get in the way of you experiencing the life you desire?
  • What is in your heart and what’s next for you?

Maureen Spielman:

Do you feel like you've been showing

Maureen Spielman:

compassion for everyone in your life by yourself that you often

Maureen Spielman:

feel overwhelmed or exhausted, perhaps even resentful that you

Maureen Spielman:

want to find new ways to put yourself at the top of your list

Maureen Spielman:

after years of putting others first? If so, you're not alone

Maureen Spielman:

and you're in the right place. I'm so happy to have you joining

Maureen Spielman:

mystical sisterhood. Today. This episode revisits who I am as

Maureen Spielman:

your host, and my wife, her bringing mystical sisterhood to

Maureen Spielman:

the world. I consider you a part of my worldly sisterhood. And

Maureen Spielman:

I'm grateful to be here now experiencing this life with you.

Maureen Spielman:

Today I'm going to cover who I am at the helm of this podcast,

Maureen Spielman:

why clients might come to me for coaching, and why cultivating a

Maureen Spielman:

deep and compassionate connection to ourselves is so

Maureen Spielman:

vital to our lives. You will walk away with ideas for your

Maureen Spielman:

own inner connection, coaching questions to ask yourself and

Maureen Spielman:

hopefully, a glimmer in your eye about what's next for you. A

Maureen Spielman:

guiding principle of mine is holding you in the field of

Maureen Spielman:

infinite possibilities and highest regard for your life,

Maureen Spielman:

your relationships and what's next for you. So I'll see you in

Maureen Spielman:

the episode. Hey there, welcome to mystical sisterhood. This is

Maureen Spielman:

your host, Maureen Spielman. I started the show to highlight

Maureen Spielman:

the intuitives, healers and other courageous women that I've

Maureen Spielman:

met along my journey and continue to meet. Through

Maureen Spielman:

amazing interviews, I seek to ask insightful questions to

Maureen Spielman:

uncover ways in which you the listener can apply the wisdom

Maureen Spielman:

and knowledge to your own life. I believe that we're all in this

Maureen Spielman:

together. So sharing healing and joy, and bringing community

Maureen Spielman:

together is both my passion and purpose. If you'd like to learn

Maureen Spielman:

more about the mystical sisterhood community I'm

Maureen Spielman:

building, please visit www mystical sisterhood.com See you

Maureen Spielman:

in the episode.

Maureen Spielman:

Hello, and welcome back to mystical sisterhood. This is

Maureen Spielman:

your host, Maureen Spielman. I am here today in a series of

Maureen Spielman:

three episodes, that I was calling the full circle series,

Maureen Spielman:

because I'm coming full circle towards the end of the year

Maureen Spielman:

here, but there's going to be three episodes in a row. And you

Maureen Spielman:

can listen in succession as they come out week to week. But this

Maureen Spielman:

week, I'll be coaching you on how to connect with yourself.

Maureen Spielman:

Next week, I'll be sharing reflections on how to connect to

Maureen Spielman:

the mystical in our midst, and then a year on wrap up

Maureen Spielman:

celebrating connection with our community. And so those are kind

Maureen Spielman:

of the overarching, three vital parts that I'm seeing as just

Maureen Spielman:

the hub or the the center or the middle of the wheel to the

Maureen Spielman:

mystical sisterhood is connection to ourself,

Maureen Spielman:

connection to the mystical, and connection to community. And

Maureen Spielman:

that may change and morph over time. But it's what's unfolded

Maureen Spielman:

in the first, you know, 50 plus episodes. And when I first

Maureen Spielman:

started the podcast, I really put out there that it was a

Maureen Spielman:

space where joy and healing, were going to co occur. And that

Maureen Spielman:

came from my lived experiences. But what I found, after all the

Maureen Spielman:

interviews and showing up and maybe a handful of episodes on

Maureen Spielman:

myself, or by myself is that the podcast has been largely about

Maureen Spielman:

ways in which we compassionately connect to ourselves, and then

Maureen Spielman:

compassionately connect with one another. So it's our ability to

Maureen Spielman:

connect to ourselves and create a compassionate inner

Maureen Spielman:

environment meant that's, it's a skill that I wasn't brought up

Maureen Spielman:

to believe was valuable. I didn't know, maybe I felt it and

Maureen Spielman:

other people or I resonated when someone highly valued that. But

Maureen Spielman:

it wasn't, you know, part of my school experience, I think that

Maureen Spielman:

schools are trying to incorporate it more these days,

Maureen Spielman:

because we see it as such a need. But I'm seeing it as a

Maureen Spielman:

leading edge skill. One that we are learning as adults, how to

Maureen Spielman:

be compassionate with ourselves. We're stepping out of this old

Maureen Spielman:

paradigm of the self criticism or self judgment or self

Maureen Spielman:

loathing. All the things that really have kept us back in the

Maureen Spielman:

past. And moving into this new paradigm. I was saying we're

Maureen Spielman:

learning together as adults, our children are crying out for it.

Maureen Spielman:

And when we we know that when we cultivate this inner environment

Maureen Spielman:

of peace and love, it spills out in into our outer environment.

Maureen Spielman:

So my intention for the mystical sisterhood space is that it

Maureen Spielman:

allows you to access your inner world and perhaps a new and

Maureen Spielman:

different way and always has something for you to take into

Maureen Spielman:

your daily life and practice. For your personal growth, and to

Maureen Spielman:

that end, I'll be showing up a little bit more on solo

Maureen Spielman:

episodes, so we can make sure that we're cultivating that, and

Maureen Spielman:

that there are takeaways. So, I thought today to fully

Maureen Spielman:

understand my vision, I felt that knowing a bit more about my

Maureen Spielman:

foundation, as your host, was maybe essential, maybe

Maureen Spielman:

interesting. So I'm revisiting the question of who am I? And

Maureen Spielman:

why the heck am I at the helm of a podcast about connection with

Maureen Spielman:

ourselves in connection with community. And quite honestly,

Maureen Spielman:

it's because of my lived experiences. I think my passions

Maureen Spielman:

where my intuition takes me the things that I've always cared

Maureen Spielman:

about, coupled with my coaching background, and I was wondering,

Maureen Spielman:

as I was writing this episode is, how many of you were

Maureen Spielman:

attracted when you were younger, to the whole mind, body, spirit

Maureen Spielman:

movement, when you would read that, like mind body spirit, my

Maureen Spielman:

eyes would light up, I got so excited. And, and a lot of that

Maureen Spielman:

was around wellness or yoga. But we didn't have a lot of tools.

Maureen Spielman:

It was a What about well being, but there's something so juicy

Maureen Spielman:

and attractive about it. And I think it's because it speaks to

Maureen Spielman:

the part of us that's a soul or a spirit. And our society, you

Maureen Spielman:

know, focuses so much on the mind and our physical body. And

Maureen Spielman:

those things are so important. But it's just that like, wow,

Maureen Spielman:

this, like the spiritual side is really enticing as well. And I

Maureen Spielman:

think there's a reason why it's resonating. And we're going to

Maureen Spielman:

talk about that a lot next week in the episode of the mystical.

Maureen Spielman:

So listen into that. So I'm going to delve a little bit into

Maureen Spielman:

the Who am I, and we're going to just go through some things just

Maureen Spielman:

because if you are a committed listener, then maybe some of

Maureen Spielman:

these will make sense to you. And there are themes that I go

Maureen Spielman:

over, but there'll be some themes in here and see if they

Maureen Spielman:

resonate with you and see where you fall out on them. But first

Maureen Spielman:

of all, I lead with the fact that I am a child of loving

Maureen Spielman:

parents who raised six children and did the best they could, you

Maureen Spielman:

know, and at the same time, as so many of us who go into parent

Maureen Spielman:

parenting, they were not well equipped to, you know, to

Maureen Spielman:

provide what I needed. As a child, I'll speak from my own

Maureen Spielman:

experience and the connection and the intimacy and just

Maureen Spielman:

knowing that I was seeing and being witnessed, and I was

Maureen Spielman:

important, and you know, all the things. And so I will say thank

Maureen Spielman:

you to them, they both passed. But that's that's a big part of

Maureen Spielman:

my story. Because I think that I always cared so deeply. And it's

Maureen Spielman:

why I studied conscious parenting to is that I cared

Maureen Spielman:

deeply about children's experiences, because I was so

Maureen Spielman:

sensitive as a child, and empathic and I think I picked up

Maureen Spielman:

on these things really early on. Interestingly, my Oh studied

Maureen Spielman:

profession was speech language pathology. And I think that

Maureen Spielman:

everything and Susan Lucci talked about this, in the

Maureen Spielman:

episode on celebrating your purpose, is that I think it was

Maureen Spielman:

not to become a speech language pathologist. It was because

Maureen Spielman:

studying communication connection and finding one's

Maureen Spielman:

voice became so important to my life's work. I'm a mom of three

Maureen Spielman:

beautiful young adults who are my greatest teachers. I'm a

Maureen Spielman:

partner of over 30 years to my husband, who is also my greatest

Maureen Spielman:

teacher. I am a sister to five amazing souls, four sisters and

Maureen Spielman:

a brother. And I'm unwell. I'm a woman on a path of finding her

Maureen Spielman:

voice while healing past wounds. A woman like you, who has had

Maureen Spielman:

her fair share of losses, perhaps different, perhaps

Maureen Spielman:

similar. But that brings tears to my eyes, because I know that

Maureen Spielman:

our shared experience is having had challenges in our lives that

Maureen Spielman:

are here for us to tend to, to just surround ourselves with the

Maureen Spielman:

most deep loving hugs and understandings and immerse

Maureen Spielman:

ourselves, I think in teachings that help us understand the

Maureen Spielman:

place of those things in our lives and find ways to nurture

Maureen Spielman:

and nourish ourselves. I went through surgery, chemotherapy,

Maureen Spielman:

and radiation in 2018 and 19, for breast cancer, and I walked

Maureen Spielman:

away a completely different person. And, you know, that is

Maureen Spielman:

part of why I'm sitting at the helm here today because I don't

Maureen Spielman:

know if I ever would have done this had I not gone through

Maureen Spielman:

those things. Not that you need to in order to create something

Maureen Spielman:

that's really meaningful for your life at all, but that's

Maureen Spielman:

part of my story. I'm a coach trained in several modalities,

Maureen Spielman:

conscious parenting, and I think soul care coaching being the

Maureen Spielman:

most relevant, I consider myself a visionary. And one of my main

Maureen Spielman:

purpose is to, is to spread light within the world. I

Maureen Spielman:

absolutely love the coaching aspect of what I do. And I love

Maureen Spielman:

the mystical, and I love being in community and in our shared

Maureen Spielman:

sisterhood. And I've been working with healers and

Maureen Spielman:

intuitives for years. And I love learning more about myself

Maureen Spielman:

through the mystical realm. We're all so connected to a

Maureen Spielman:

mystical, the mystical side of things, the mystery, the all the

Maureen Spielman:

magic and ancient ways of practicing ritual, and newer

Maureen Spielman:

ways of tapping into our strength and wisdom. Hey, I'm

Maureen Spielman:

all in I want more of that, because I think it makes life

Maureen Spielman:

juicy. I think it makes it fun. It puts meaning and relevance to

Maureen Spielman:

what I do on a daily basis. So there's so much more, but I

Maureen Spielman:

wanted to give you that background just to give you that

Maureen Spielman:

taste of why I'm here. As for you, I invite you to create your

Maureen Spielman:

I Am statements. I didn't even I didn't even create things, you

Maureen Spielman:

know other soulful things about who I am. But those are just a

Maureen Spielman:

little bit where I came from and why I'm here. So I cultivate

Maureen Spielman:

your own im statements and maybe we can make some beautiful art

Maureen Spielman:

from them to all of the questions or you know, offerings

Maureen Spielman:

I make today will be in the show notes for you to reflect on in

Maureen Spielman:

journal whenever it's convenient to you or ponder when you're

Maureen Spielman:

taking a walk with the dog.

Maureen Spielman:

Share with me on Instagram, that's where you'll find me

Maureen Spielman:

hanging out a social media wise. At Maureen Spielman, or on

Maureen Spielman:

Facebook, I have a free, mystical sisterhood Facebook

Maureen Spielman:

group that's in the show notes to see the link to join. So I

Maureen Spielman:

think one of the reasons why I became a coach or call it what

Maureen Spielman:

you will sell Care Coach, I think it lies in the fact that

Maureen Spielman:

is a guiding principle of mine is that I wholeheartedly believe

Maureen Spielman:

in the possibility of change. And when I hear you know, out in

Maureen Spielman:

the ethers, someone say something about, they'll have it

Maureen Spielman:

for their whole life. And I'm not talking about physical

Maureen Spielman:

maladies, but I'm talking about ways that they identify maybe

Maureen Spielman:

with their personality, they'll never change I, I have something

Maureen Spielman:

in my being that's like, I don't believe it, I believe in the

Maureen Spielman:

possibility of change. I've experienced it in my own life.

Maureen Spielman:

I've seen it with my relationships with my children.

Maureen Spielman:

I've seen it in my clients. And I want to note that Susie Lulu,

Maureen Spielman:

my teacher, mentor friend always says your own transformation is

Maureen Spielman:

your greatest credential. And I'm here as a lived experience

Maureen Spielman:

to the colossal change that's possible within oneself. I won't

Maureen Spielman:

go into the backstory of everything that I used to carry,

Maureen Spielman:

from shame to guilt, to, you know, just immense criticism of

Maureen Spielman:

my body. Just to so many things where I've been so interested in

Maureen Spielman:

how can I feel that because it just felt so heavy, and

Maureen Spielman:

something that I couldn't move through that I was on this

Maureen Spielman:

eternal pursuit to figure out how that could be done. And I

Maureen Spielman:

don't think I would have pursued life coaching if I didn't hold

Maureen Spielman:

that possibility for my clients. And that being said, if you

Maureen Spielman:

haven't had a chance to listen to Suze, Lulu, and my podcast,

Maureen Spielman:

it was episode four, you are worthy. And it's a great one to

Maureen Spielman:

link back to. Yeah, I think that I mean, I want to say I think I

Maureen Spielman:

connect with people easily. But I didn't realize that coaching

Maureen Spielman:

was a possibility. For me, I really had some condition,

Maureen Spielman:

things that thought like you have to go back to school in

Maureen Spielman:

order to work with people. But it turns out that this avenue,

Maureen Spielman:

for me was a perfect fit. And I hope that's a model for other

Maureen Spielman:

people in ways to think that there are many ways in which to

Maureen Spielman:

discover the things you want to do. The sky's the limit. And

Maureen Spielman:

more than ever, people are at this sort of like a game I'm

Maureen Spielman:

going to say are just taking the opportunity to create what you

Maureen Spielman:

know, they never thought was possible as long as it's like a

Maureen Spielman:

shift in perspective, when you start to think like, oh, you

Maureen Spielman:

know, could someone someone suggest to you Oh, did you ever

Maureen Spielman:

think and you take what they say and you say like, wait a minute,

Maureen Spielman:

I know I never thought that and maybe for me, you know the

Maureen Spielman:

question about like, oh, did you ever think about being a coach

Maureen Spielman:

from you know, my dear friend Alicia house was one that hit me

Maureen Spielman:

out of left field and I never thought I could be one. But I

Maureen Spielman:

think it's it's so interesting when someone plants the seed for

Maureen Spielman:

us and I hope that that's what this podcast is for you is like

Maureen Spielman:

a planting seed for what you can become and what's next for you

Maureen Spielman:

because hey, I want to hear it. I think that there's so much

Maureen Spielman:

possibility I think I allowed myself to look into new avenues

Maureen Spielman:

and I could I learn to excel at something in midlife and I think

Maureen Spielman:

that's really important. So I'm You know, I've, I've, I've

Maureen Spielman:

mentioned my studying, I won't go into that, but I'm just a

Maureen Spielman:

lifelong learner. So I wanted to kind of offer like, what my

Maureen Spielman:

coaching looks like, I feel like I have a unique lens through

Maureen Spielman:

which I see my client. And I guess any coach out there really

Maureen Spielman:

does. But I really believe that you hold all the wisdom in

Maureen Spielman:

yourself. And I'm a Master Guide, and hopefully facilitator

Maureen Spielman:

for you, to lead you back to your truth, your light and your

Maureen Spielman:

essence. And I was laughing because I was kind of thinking

Maureen Spielman:

like, Oh, my God, this should be a class in college, if not high

Maureen Spielman:

school. I really, the I've said this during the podcast, I

Maureen Spielman:

believe that my clients, individuals I meet are so

Maureen Spielman:

uniquely encoded with their own gifts, and what is going to be

Maureen Spielman:

true for them. And so that's why like, studying different

Maureen Spielman:

modalities, like I have is really helpful, because what is

Maureen Spielman:

right for one client might not be right for the next and, you

Maureen Spielman:

know, some clients want to go into the their emotional world

Maureen Spielman:

and go back and some want to work on, you know, spiritual,

Maureen Spielman:

like bringing more universal principles into your life, like,

Maureen Spielman:

how is life for me? Why is this here? What am I, I'm here to

Maureen Spielman:

experience, this is one of my soul's lessons. So there's

Maureen Spielman:

different ways, you know, or reasons people come. But I was

Maureen Spielman:

conditioned to think that I really was when I was young,

Maureen Spielman:

that there was one way to go about doing things. And I'm just

Maureen Spielman:

so open to infinite possibilities for what will most

Maureen Spielman:

assist a particular person, I'm not tied to what it has to be so

Maureen Spielman:

trying different things, and going different directions while

Maureen Spielman:

listening to what's deep within the client, the client leads me.

Maureen Spielman:

And so I think, in addition, and next week is the episode on the

Maureen Spielman:

mystical, but like, if it's certain mystical input, or

Maureen Spielman:

avenues, or that will help you find your way. I'm all for that.

Maureen Spielman:

I would say that what I like about, I would say, four or five

Maureen Spielman:

months ago, I reached out to my community on Facebook, and I

Maureen Spielman:

said, would anyone be willing to talk to me about their

Maureen Spielman:

experiences? And what I found in midlife is that the two of the

Maureen Spielman:

things that stood out the most was clients looking for clarity,

Maureen Spielman:

and truth. And I thought that that was really interesting,

Maureen Spielman:

because to me, part of the work I do is helping clients shift

Maureen Spielman:

through what is your conditioning, you know who you

Maureen Spielman:

were born to be this light, this, this unencumbered being

Maureen Spielman:

who took on these ways of beings that at some point in our life,

Maureen Spielman:

I think we get older, and we're just like, wait a minute, this

Maureen Spielman:

isn't me. And so it was so fascinating to hear these women

Maureen Spielman:

say that then really the number one thing they were looking for

Maureen Spielman:

was clarity. And I really think beneath the clarity, is looking

Maureen Spielman:

for their truth. So it seems like we're trying to find the

Maureen Spielman:

clarity within a situation. And yes, that may be true, should I

Maureen Spielman:

stay with my husband should I allow my child to drive down to

Maureen Spielman:

college for three hours on the interstate when they haven't

Maureen Spielman:

done it before. And I think it's really tapping into what's right

Maureen Spielman:

for you. And it's teasing that out. And, and I love the client,

Maureen Spielman:

the coach client relationship, because it's one of I feel being

Maureen Spielman:

seen and being heard. I know I work with, I've worked with

Maureen Spielman:

coaches, I work with a coach right now. And it's just like,

Maureen Spielman:

just so highly beneficial, to feel witnessed. And to just lay

Maureen Spielman:

it all out there and have nothing be bad or wrong, or I'm

Maureen Spielman:

not to be fixed. It's just that it's a safe place. And it's a

Maureen Spielman:

safe place to be vulnerable. It's a safe place to say

Maureen Spielman:

whatever needs to be said, and being really guided by your own

Maureen Spielman:

intuition and wisdom within sessions. And I think as women

Maureen Spielman:

we hold a lot, and we're classic overseers taking on what it is

Maureen Spielman:

not ours. I see that I see that. And we know that but I see that

Maureen Spielman:

in my clients. And it's like, well, what can you put down?

Maureen Spielman:

What can what can you put down physically that you're doing

Maureen Spielman:

that is stressing you out and taxing you? And but also, what

Maureen Spielman:

can you put down from your past and your conditioning and your

Maureen Spielman:

upbringing that no longer serves you either. Women often say

Maureen Spielman:

they're looking for ways not to be hard on themselves or not

Maureen Spielman:

feel fear, fearful of their future, that's a big one, or

Maureen Spielman:

that they feel unexpressed in their relationships. So there's

Maureen Spielman:

all these different reasons people come. And I think as a

Maureen Spielman:

coach, I'm interested in really expansive questions that allow

Maureen Spielman:

individuals to really be open to new possibilities and dream. I

Maureen Spielman:

love that to be able to see their own truth in light. It's

Maureen Spielman:

the place we start. become curious about new perspectives,

Maureen Spielman:

ones that which you may not have considered before, new

Maureen Spielman:

perspectives, having new eyes on the situation and being willing

Maureen Spielman:

to see something in a new way. A that's huge. And it I think they

Maureen Spielman:

didn't even enter into the coaching relationship. It's

Maureen Spielman:

willingness and courage, courage that bring you here. And it's

Maureen Spielman:

really important to note, big one to me has always been

Maureen Spielman:

understanding how your past informs your presence. So I'll

Maureen Spielman:

say a little bit about that in a few minutes. But really,

Maureen Spielman:

largely, this whole compassionate container,

Maureen Spielman:

inviting you into new practices of self compassion and letting

Maureen Spielman:

go voices of not enoughness judgment, comparison and

Maureen Spielman:

scarcity. And thereby, putting a lens on that, let's replace that

Maureen Spielman:

with some new supportive inner dialogue. How can we gradually

Maureen Spielman:

replace the voices that say we're not enough, one at a time,

Maureen Spielman:

one at a time? Looking to see what limiting beliefs I can't do

Maureen Spielman:

that because I'm too old. My kid is not smart enough to do that

Maureen Spielman:

he can never get into this college because

Maureen Spielman:

I could never start a new career. Because I'm not out

Maureen Spielman:

there enough. I'm just trying to think of, you know, even

Maureen Spielman:

limiting beliefs, I never thought my marriage will would

Maureen Spielman:

work, therefore it can't Well, is that the truth for you? Yeah,

Maureen Spielman:

just generating the different questions that come up in our

Maureen Spielman:

lives. There's the issue of setting boundaries.

Maureen Spielman:

Understanding where our family and culture plays into what we

Maureen Spielman:

think this is way bigger than any of us realize. And when we

Maureen Spielman:

can start to be like, hey, that conditioning is not mine. super

Maureen Spielman:

powerful. And when we can find people to talk to about this

Maureen Spielman:

super powerful, and also connecting deeply within, in

Maureen Spielman:

order to cultivate safety within in your outer relationships. So

Maureen Spielman:

that safety one that that could be a whole episode. But when we

Maureen Spielman:

replace those voices of comparison, you know,

Maureen Spielman:

competition and not enoughness, and not thin enough, and not

Maureen Spielman:

smart enough, and all the things, then it ushers in the

Maureen Spielman:

compassion, which ushers in safety. And when we feel safe,

Maureen Spielman:

we're going to transform we just are. So yeah. So I've kind of

Maureen Spielman:

pointed out the ways this looks for client clients. But I think

Maureen Spielman:

it's really the process of learning a new language of self

Maureen Spielman:

compassion, understanding, and just a process. And I point this

Maureen Spielman:

out of becoming so invested in your own transformation, that

Maureen Spielman:

any idea of you taking a back seat in the past is like, No,

Maureen Spielman:

I'm worthy and deserving of taking this front seat, and

Maureen Spielman:

really fostering this new relationship inside of myself

Maureen Spielman:

that I may not have ever understood before. And that is

Maureen Spielman:

here for me to cultivate and grow and it will grow. That is

Maureen Spielman:

for sure. I would say that often, when I ask a client about

Maureen Spielman:

their childhood, this is an example that they'll say, Oh, I

Maureen Spielman:

had such a good childhood. But on deeper reflection, they might

Maureen Spielman:

realize that even though and I've, I've realized this about

Maureen Spielman:

my own childhood, too, even though things looked as if they

Maureen Spielman:

were the white picket fence, that actually there were, you

Maureen Spielman:

know, cracks in the surface or ways in which our needs weren't

Maureen Spielman:

met. And it's okay, it's okay, that we had childhood, kids like

Maureen Spielman:

that, because that's, it feels like the human experience to me,

Maureen Spielman:

I've been more conscious with my kids, and there's still many

Maureen Spielman:

cracks in the surface. So it's how to be with those things and

Maureen Spielman:

not be hard on ourselves. And know that it's okay know, that,

Maureen Spielman:

you know, identifying the places in our life, like in our

Maureen Spielman:

foundational years, where we didn't have the connection, and

Maureen Spielman:

we didn't have the intimate relationships, that that truly

Maureen Spielman:

affects our adult relationships. And, you know, it would be, I

Maureen Spielman:

think, one of the ways is to go, besides cultivating compassion

Maureen Spielman:

is, you know, really appreciating ourselves fully.

Maureen Spielman:

And I talked about that just a few episodes ago, how to

Maureen Spielman:

appreciate yourself fully. And, you know, they're just new ways

Maureen Spielman:

of seeing ourselves and giving grace and to our experiences

Maureen Spielman:

and, and I think, you know, knowing that it wasn't bad or

Maureen Spielman:

wrong, and that it's here to be, you know, brought just a new

Maureen Spielman:

compassionate lens to what I see is that you're finding your own

Maureen Spielman:

way, setting your own rules, putting down what doesn't serve,

Maureen Spielman:

and moving into a space where you really do you take 100%

Maureen Spielman:

responsibility, and ownership for your experience and how

Maureen Spielman:

beautiful that can be. So I'm going to wrap it up today by

Maureen Spielman:

leaving you with some questions from my coaching that I may use

Maureen Spielman:

with clients to consider for yourself, I'm going to put these

Maureen Spielman:

in the show notes. So check out the show notes. I feel that

Maureen Spielman:

they're thought provoking, and lead you to consider yourself

Maureen Spielman:

and consider new possibilities for yourself. So the first one

Maureen Spielman:

is, if you had a magic wand, what would you create in your

Maureen Spielman:

life? What qualities do you seek to experience in your life?

Maureen Spielman:

These may be things like abundance, play, fun, total

Maureen Spielman:

health. And have these changed for you in the last few years

Maureen Spielman:

reflecting on the last few years? Have they change? Did

Maureen Spielman:

your old questions are they being replaced with new ones,

Maureen Spielman:

new qualities you want to live by? Perhaps that was being there

Maureen Spielman:

for your children. And now you don't need to be anymore,

Maureen Spielman:

they're grown. Or you realized, through, you know, the pandemic

Maureen Spielman:

that you wanted to experience more travel or play in your

Maureen Spielman:

life. Or maybe it's that some connections have, you know,

Maureen Spielman:

grown apart and you want to be more connected, you want to be

Maureen Spielman:

in community? You want to define how your friendships are going

Maureen Spielman:

to look. If you could change one or two things right now, what

Maureen Spielman:

would they be? I'd be very curious to know about that. And

Maureen Spielman:

what limiting beliefs get in the way of you experiencing the life

Maureen Spielman:

you desire? And I guess one last one would be what's on your

Maureen Spielman:

heart? And what's next for you? Hmm. Truthfully, we're all

Maureen Spielman:

looking for ways to understand ourselves and a form form a deep

Maureen Spielman:

connection with ourselves and our loved ones. But I think

Maureen Spielman:

we're really really, really looking for that deep and

Maureen Spielman:

fulfilled understanding of ourselves. So today, that's a

Maureen Spielman:

bit about me, my why, what my coaching entails. I believe that

Maureen Spielman:

my past my experiences have really positioned me well to

Maureen Spielman:

work with individuals and groups, but to bring together

Maureen Spielman:

this mystical sisterhood, you, my sisters, my worldly sisters

Maureen Spielman:

together for this connection and community and I believe it's a

Maureen Spielman:

cornerstone of my life's work, and I thank you for being here.

Maureen Spielman:

Maureen Spielman:

curious about it, and want to have the conversation, either

Maureen Spielman:

Maureen Spielman:

Maureen Spielman:

a pleasure to talk about all these things to touch upon all

Maureen Spielman:

of them today. Next week, we'll be delving into what is the

Maureen Spielman:

mystical, we're gonna gain input from the mystics, some of them

Maureen Spielman:

not all of them who have been on the podcast, and allow ourselves

Maureen Spielman:

to uncover our own magic, not just leaving it to the experts.
