45 Big Bad Beautiful Boundaries

November 21, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome, I’m Shauna Hoffman

I thought for this week’s podcast I would delve into boundaries. It’s funny, one of my original ideas for this podcast is the A to Z of self-awareness. Well, since I have done quite a few episodes on what awareness is it’s time for me to go to B. Boundaries! Stick with me as I navigate the whole alphabet of self-awareness.

So we hear the word “boundaries” thrown around a lot in the personal growth world. Let’s delve into the big bad and beautiful of boundaries in your world.

Basically, a boundary is a personal guideline you set up for yourself. Limitations that guide you to your own behavior and the kind of behavior you accept from others. Personal boundaries in the simplest terms are what you create to establish how other people treat you. Or how they behave when they are around you. When you have healthy boundaries you empower your relationships to be truly caring, emotionally respectful, and appropriate. Most importantly these are the kind of limitations you put on yourself and around yourself to keep you safe. These boundaries can be anything from physical boundaries, to emotional, social media, material, financial boundaries, sexual boundaries, personal space boundaries, tolerance. WOW! Where do we begin?

First, let’s delve into the reality that self-awareness and boundaries go hand in hand. Sometimes in order to set boundaries, you have to be really self-aware of what you DON’T want in life or in a relationship. You need to be able to check in with your own needs, emotions, hurts, growth. All that stuff that is wrapped up in self-awareness. You need to be able to see what is working in your life and what isn’t.

44 The Glass Ceiling Is Shattered, Rebroadcast of The Voice Of A Woman

November 15, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and welcome to a Journey To Self Awareness. I’m Shauna Hoffman.

This last week has been a whirlwind of excitement and emotion, fear, and confusion. So, I decided rather than trying to focus on a new podcast… which, honestly is a stretch for me this week… I would honor the fact that we have the First Female Vice President in our History! No matter if you are a man, woman, democrat or republican, the shattering of the glass ceiling to elect a female into the second-highest office of the land is groundbreaking and historical.

So I thought I would rebroadcast episode #22 The Voice of a woman. Oh, and just an FYI, when I speak of The last episode I am referring to Episode #21, The Great Unlearning.

So with great pleasure and with unbelievable pride in the fact that so many women came out to vote in this election, I offer you…The Voice Of a Woman.

Listen in…

39 The Art Of Healthy Fighting

October 11, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello, I’m Shauna Hoffman.

So I asked a few listeners about what we should attack on the journey to awareness this week. And one listener said.. healthy communication. Ok, that wasn’t exactly what she said. She said, Can you do a whole podcast telling my partner what they are doing wrong when they fight with me? And then a few other expletives after that. HA! I said, sure. But you may not like what I say. Because fights take two people.

So whether you are listening to this podcast and wondering how to have a really good, healthy fight with a partner, parent, sibling, or friend I now welcome you to the Art of Fighting 101… otherwise known as, “You may have to get past your anger, check yourself, and just listen.”

36 For The Love Of Friends

September 20, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and Welcome! I’m Shauna Hoffman.

We talk so much about relationships and we have yet to really talk about one of the most important relationships…friendships! Women to women friendships, women and men friendships… and all of the non-binary friendships that we have. I can’t imagine my life without my friends. I am unbelievably lucky to have a tribe! And though this tribe may change over the years they are certainly the beings in my life that fill my soul, accept me for who I am, call me out on my shit, force me to grow, make me laugh, hold me when I cry, and drag me out to do all the things in life that give me joy. Ok and get me in trouble along the way! I like to say that I “collect friends”. Soul sisters, soul brothers, soul mates, soul friends.

I came to this podcast today because this earth lost one of my divine friends, Richard Sutphen. To the metaphysical world, he was known as Dick Sutphen. He spoke on reincarnation. He wrote the best sellers “Past Lives, Future Loves” and “You Were Born Again To Be Together”, and so many more. But to me, he was a soulmate of the most fascinating kind. Have you ever met someone and had this crazy feeling like you have known them for a million years? There is a feeling like, “Hi, oh there you are!” And you are kind of flabbergasted because you have never met this person before? Richard wrote so many books on reincarnation. I have always believed in it. But the day I met him it was crazy! We both felt it right away. He looked at me and all of a sudden handed me 10 of his books and his email address so we could talk and talk and talk about them. And that was the beginning of a friendship that touched me deeply. We would email late at night and talk about life. We would meet up for lunch and just talk for hours about love, dreams, the people in our lives, and our learning lessons from them. And mostly we would make each other laugh! I hadn’t talked to Richard in over 6 months. Then I found out last night about his passing. I can’t help but feel sad knowing he is gone from this earth. This brilliant bright being. My friend. But, then again, in all truth, I believe everything that he shared with the world and what he taught me… That we WILL meet again.

So that brought me to this podcast. Friendship. Divine, fabulous, hard, and soulful. Please enjoy!
