Love Notes From a Soul Coach

Love Notes From a Soul Coach

A podcast from Soul Coach and author Mary Welch that picks up where most conversations about healing leave off or fall short. What does it actually mean to "heal"? How are we meant to "let go" of the stuff that feels super-glued to our hearts and psyches? What's the real reason we sabotage ourselves? What does it take to transcend the wounds of childhood and honestly, authentically love and accept ourselves? If you like hanging out in the deep, existential end of the pool: this is your show! A change in perspective can change your life. And this podcast was designed to do just that. We can share the journey together. It's less lonely that way.

What happens when we buy into the idea: Why bother? We begin to lose our connection with Life. We must bother - with the big and little things - working through resistance to make sure our collaboration with Life is something we protect, nurture and insist on. On today's show we're talking about all of this and also sharing the words we all long most to hear. I hope you'll join us! Find more tools to support your healing journey...

In order to meaningfully change, we must be compelled to meaningfully change.  Many people think this is what the world of self help and motivation are all about - giving people the tools to change. But giving people tools doesn’t always compel them. The real ingredient that moves the needle for us is inspiration. Join the conversation today as we explore the role of inspiration in meeting the critical threshold many of us long...

On today's Love Notes podcast, we're talking about what it means to be our own best resource during times of trouble or hardship. Taking refuge means taking comfort in the deeper truths of our experience and coming home to ourselves. We'll look at this through a Buddhist lens with nuances from modern day teachers who remind us how powerful we are when we remember where we come from and the greater purpose we're here to fulfill.

It takes strength to say: I don’t know. And it also takes strength to admit the answer when we do know. To be self honest enough to say: I’m failing to try. I’m letting myself off the hook too easily at the cost of my deeper growth. I’m using delusion as a form of protection. When something really matters to us, our desire to actualize it is bigger than our fear of changing. It’s bigger than our unconscious need to stay the same....

Dark and difficult times can throttle us into survival mode and once there, we tend to consider things like happiness as non-essential nice-to-have's. But as the research shows, happy people are critically important to moving the needle in a positive, constructive direction for humanity. What can we learn from the common traits of self identified 'happy people' - and how can we incorporate these characteristic and POV's into ou...

Anger itself is not a problem. It’s not un-spiritual. It’s not something we need to try to avoid in our lives. The issue is how we work with it. We can choose to use anger as an agent for transformation. We can engage it, leverage its intensity and passion, so that the energy of anger serves us instead of drains us. Let's talk more about this on today's show and explore the ways in which working with big emotions can have big, p...

Winter is not the time to begin - it's the time to prepare to begin. Knowing the difference helps us set ourselves up for success and avoid frustration or self defeating tendencies. The closer we live to nature, the better we feel. Each season teaches us how to be. Winter is for pulling inward and taking stock. So let's explore how the new year can be a time of recalibration and appreciation more than hitting the ground running o...

Learning the difference between self blame vs taking responsibility for our lives + choices sets us free and enables us to heal for real. As long as we're stuck in the habit of making things our fault, we are relating to ourselves as victims. This is one of the most painful and limiting ways to live. Let's talk today about how to shift out of this mindset and embrace a deeper empowerment + sense of purpose so we can feel good and...

What other miracles are scattered around my life, waiting to be seen?"

Ram Dass said: Faith is not a belief. Faith is what is left when your beliefs have all been blown to hell. If this is the time you find yourself in, call upon your capacity for faith. As Louise Hay used to say: you don’t have to know how — you just have to be willing.  Let your willingness to trust Life guide you now. Make a mantra out of it: I am willing to trust in the deeper process of Life. Every time you find yourself in the...

Someone recently shared something beautiful online: When caught between a rock and a hard place: let me be water. Being in-between things is one of the most difficult positions for us to bear as humans. But it's also fertile, sacred ground. Something is over but what's next hasn't come through yet. How we wait, relate and contextualize this time in our lives is EVERYTHING. Today I'm sharing a very personal story about my own i...

Being unaware of our beliefs is how we lose alignment with the goals and aspirations we carry for ourselves in our hearts. When we feel disenfranchised or lost it means we’re believing something negative, something discouraging.  Our beliefs are the first place we can go to make the kinds of course corrections that will profoundly improve the experience we’re having inside our lives. Working with beliefs can open our hearts and br...

One of the hardest parts about being human is our tendency to judge our own progress. Sometimes when things aren't working and the needle isn't budging it's a sign that we're meant to pause and reassess our situation - not just push through. This is the theme of today's show - which is also a response to an Ask Me Anything question. I hope you'll tune in and find some resonance. Do you have a question for a coach you'd like fe...

When it's genuinely impossible to feel joyful, we can still be meaningful. We find meaning by finding the present moment. The irony is that we're never actually in any other moment! But our minds would have us believing otherwise. Let's untangle this tangle together today and learn some sacred tools for opening our hearts and planting our attention right here, right now. It's where the magic is. You can find more resources to s...

One of the big epiphanies that's surfaced for me, on the verge of turning 50, is that I'm a lot less resilient than I used to be. Which means I don't have the ability to fake how I'm feeling, what I can handle or how fast I can push myself. Instead, I've been experimenting with what it means to embrace slowing down. I'm not rushing anymore to transform the negative. Even when it hurts, it's meaningful. Join me for more insights ...
