Special Episode: Celebrating YOU x ME

On this special episode of THE SHIFT we celebrate Ayla's forthcoming novel YOU x ME and talk about all things: hope, social connection and authentic living. In a world where we are sold, told, and fed things that are not in alignment with our values it is even more critical to root in our knowing. We discuss the parts of healing that are relational and how the greatest gift we can give each other is to witness and be witnessed.Join us for: Celebrating YOU x MEAbout the book:YOU x ME is a series of queer BIPOC love stories. Noura swipes right on Luna with a little help from her group-chat, Maryam and Nilou fall for each other between shared playlists, while Paz and Ale reminisce about the sweat-soaked dance floor of their youth. Set in cosmopolitan settings from Los Angeles to Montreal, each chapter can be read as an independent love story, though the book has a unifying thread of characters. This hot and hopeful contemporary romance offers escape, self-discovery, and a dose of glamor. As Maya Angelou encourages, this book calls readers to “have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.” Pre-order YOU x ME: youxmebook.comWatch: YOUxME Conversations on YouTube Complimentary Podcast Episode:Ep. 30: Being seen, from the inside-outFree Tools for you:Self Leadership Training: The Leadership CodeTeam Leadership Training: How to work better, together.SPECIAL PROMO: For a limited time we are offering listeners 20% off all services – let’s shift together!Connect with us!We would love to hear your thoughts!

Being seen, from the inside-out

We are all looking to be seen, understood, and witnessed. This, like most things, starts with us seeing ourselves. On today’s episode: Being seen, from the inside-out, we explore the ways we are needing to anchor in the parts of us wanting to take space, be validated and cared for. In a world where we are sold, told, and fed things that are not in alignment with our values it is even more critical to root in our knowing. We discuss the parts of healing that are relational and how the greatest gift we can give each other is to witness and be witnessed.Join us in conversation for: Being seen, from the inside-out Complimentary Podcast Episode:Ep. 26: Can you decode your emotions?Complementary Tool:The Leadership CodeSPECIAL PROMO: For a limited time we are offering listeners 20% off all services – let’s shift together!“ON” + “OFF” Essential oils to optimize your space and mindFree Team Leadership Training: How to work better, together.Free Self Leadership Training: The Leadership CodeConnect with us!We would love to hear your thoughts!

Don’t make it easier!

On today’s episode: Don’t make it easier!, we discuss why taking away our uncomfortable feelings is doing us a disservice. Don’t waste your pain, use it, learn from it, and shift it.

Reframe motivation from hustle culture to an anchored compass, drawing you towards your desires and values.Join us in conversation for: “Don’t make it easier!”SPECIAL PROMO: For a limited time we are offering listeners 20% off all services – let’s shift together!Complimentary Podcast Episode:Ep. 5: You’ve already done hard things!Ep. 6: What is your pain telling you?

How to relationSHIFT?

Our coaching programs prioritize relationSHIFTS. We create relationSHIFTS with yourself, within your family, with your co-workers, with your ideas, and the world around you. To do that patterns must be broken. When a pattern is broken, new pathways are made possible. The cost is an interruption of the old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

Are you just changing or actually healing?

In a society that prioritizes efficiency we tend to lean towards “hacks” that load us with “tools” to make our healing more “productive”. What we witness at times is changed behavior, but when we dig deeper we are left with the question: are we actually healing? In today’s episode, we deconstruct some therapeutic modalities and ask questions to see how they serve us, and see if we can find a healthier route to heal in our wholeness. Join us in conversation as we ask: “Are you just changing or actually healing?”Complimentary Podcast Episode:Are you stuck in a “good” vs. “bad” mindset?How can we be hopeful?Do you need to stay small to be loved?Do you need to stay strong to be loved?People Referenced:Pema ChodronByron KatieThe Untethered Soul: The journey beyond yourself by Michael A.
