In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

I've always been curious about why we do what we do, why we feel the way we feel, why we are who we are. Why some people SHINE brightly and others dull their sparkle. Why we judge. Why we admire. Why we SEEK. Why we gossip. How we connect. Why we hold ourselves back. How we set ourselves free. I wanted to start the SHINE & SEEK podcast so I could talk about what I think about. So I could share the journey I'm on to hide less and shine more. So I could grow and seek out in the open. To me, there is great freedom in simply doing that. So, as I continue to question and discover my hope is that sharing the lessons I learn along the way might help someone else. Someone who might need a reminder that, sometimes, all it takes to find the answers you're looking for and remember how to SHINE is the willingness to ask the questions, be still, listen, and trust what your intuition is trying to tell you.

What Does It Mean To Be the Light?

منذ 9 years

—

What do you think of when I say, "be the light?" Do you think that sounds like a nice idea that people talk about, but don’t really do? I mean, how can a person actually BE the light, right? What about the times we feel like we're living more in the dark than the light? And what does it say about us when we admire or despise certain qualities in other people? Click below to listen to me dive into this topic on the SHINE & SEEK podcast ( and subscribe on iTunes ) or keep reading to check out the highlights before you jump in. So what does it mean to let our light shine, or to “be the light?" You might not even know what I'm talking about, or perhaps you're afraid of shining bright because you're worried about what people would think of you. Or you might feel like stepping fully into your light would extinguish the light of those around you. On the flip side, some people can feel like letting the people around them shine will in some way dim their own light. But in my experience, quite the opposite is true. As Marianne Williamson wrote in her book, A Return To Love : "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." To me, "being the light" doesn't mean being a perfectly positive person who is blissfully happy all the time and never makes mistakes. It means doing things that make me feel free and peaceful, surrendering control, trusting my intuition , showing compassion and kindness to myself and others, and believing the simple truth that I am enough. It is about bringing light to the places that are dark. It is about looking for opportunities to lift someone else up. It is about making a conscious effort to do the things I know make my own light shine brighter so I can also help other people recognize the light that is within them. The idea Marianne writes about—that letting our own light shine helps others shine too—makes me think about something I first learned from Gabby Bernstein that I now know to be a universal truth. I'm paraphrasing here, but the essence was that what you admire in others is a recognition of that thing in you, or, the light you see in others is a reflection of your own light. For example, I really admire people who get up on stage and give inspiring talks. I resonate with what they're saying, but I also admire the courage and vulnerability they're showing by putting themselves out there in that way. So, how is what I see in them a reflection of my light? I think it's reflecting back to me that I identify with wanting to use my voice in a way that helps others. I think it means that I have the desire to express myself in a way that makes me feel like I'm being truthful and authentic. I think their expression of that light touches me so deeply because I feel aligned with it. And the way I express it might be totally different. I might be able to talk to a friend who’s going through a tough time and bring that vulnerability and authenticity into the conversation so they know they are not alone. You might just show up for your life day in and day out with more truth and compassion and speak up for yourself more than you used to. It's not about doing it in exactly the same way, it's about doing it in a way that feels real and true for you. It's about being the lighthouse. Looking at things from this perspective really changed the way I think about people I admire. To not put them on a pedestal, but to recognize myself in them, as we can all recognize parts of ourselves in everyone we meet if we’re paying attention. This reflection of light also comes into play when you see something in another person you really don't like, and your shadow is being reflected back at you instead. Usually, we don't want to feel whatever dark spot they triggered so we lash out or judge them instead. This can be a tough thing to accept and I'm sure we'd all prefer to believe that what irritates us about other people has nothing to do with us. But as my friend and A Course in Miracles teacher Anne Marie Imperiale said at one of her classes recently, "Somebody can't trigger something in you that's not a trigger." Boom. Basically, whatever the other person is doing that is pissing you off or pushing your buttons wouldn't bother you as much if there wasn't a part of you that recognized that same behavior in yourself . In that kind of situation we have two choices. We can be judgmental and attack or we can recognize that the other person is us, be compassionate, and ask how we can help. One option will help both of us heal and one will make both of us feel worse. Can you guess which is which? I think extending kindness to someone else struggling with the very thing we struggle with plants a new seed in our brains that we’re not alone in it either. Choosing to bring the light to that situation can help both of us shine a little brighter. One thing I know for sure is that we all have the ability to let more light into our lives, and I hope some of the things I’ve shared here have helped you tap into how you can see that light in yourself so you can be it and share it.…

How To Use Guilt As An Opportunity 16:13

منذ 9 years16:13

16:13

You might think this idea sounds nuts, but I'm finding that really examining what we feel guilty about and choosing to look at those moments through a non-judgmental lens can help us much more than we realize. I talk this idea through in the latest episode of the SHINE & SEEK podcast and really delve into what our guilt is trying to tell us and how we can use it as an opportunity to bring our darkness to the light. Click Here To Listen To The SHINE & SEEK PODCAST ON ITUNES Keep reading for more on this topic or jump right in and listen in the player above or by subscribing on iTunes . And be sure to check out the resources I list at the end of this post where you can find out more about Brené Brown , who I mention throughout the podcast. She has greatly influenced how I think about guilt and I wish everyone in the world could be exposed to her work and message. To break this down I think it’s important to look at what “guilt” actually means. Guilt, as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it, is: "a bad feeling caused by knowing or thinking that you have done something bad or wrong." Sounds like a good gut check moment when you think about it in those terms, but we often don't see if that way because instead of getting curious and looking at it we let judgement and blame run the show. Simply put, when we let ourselves witness and feel the emotion of guilt it’s really like we’re holding up a mirror to our behavior to see if we like the reflection. And if we don’t, we'll often immediately go in to blaming ourselves and thinking how awful we are when that is probably the least helpful thing we can do, and quite different from taking responsibility. When you get into that cycle of blaming and beating yourself up it’s very easy to slip into shame, which is very different from guilt. A great teacher on this subject is researcher, professor, and author Brené Brown. In her book, The Gifts of Imperfection , she explains how guilt is the feeling that we did something bad, and shame is the feeling that we are bad. Or, instead of thinking we made a mistake, we think we are a mistake. One is a reflection on behavior and one is about who we are as a human being. She writes, "We feel guilty when we hold up something we've done or failed to do against the kind of person we want to be. It's an uncomfortable feeling, but one that's helpful. When we apologize for something we've done, make amends to others, or change a behavior that we don't feel good about, guilt is most often the motivator. Guilt is just as powerful as shame, but its effect is often positive while shame often is destructive." So, if we can stop the blame game and take that opportunity to choose again, learn from our mistakes, take responsibility for them, and forgive ourselves guilt can be something that helps us do better next time. It can be something that moves us in the right direction, instead of something that makes us launch into a never-ending cycle of judgment and blame. It's really just a reminder from the best version of ourselves that we did something that isn’t in line with how we want to show up in the world, and if we can look at it from a loving perspective we can use that guilty feeling as a chance to recalibrate and reset. We can ask how we can move through it and learn the lesson without beating ourselves up. We can choose again. Check out Brené Brown's TED talks and books below. She is funny and real and vulnerable and I hope what she has to say resonates with you and shifts your perspective, even just a little bit. In T he Gifts of Imperfection , Brené Brown, a leading expert on shame, authenticity, and belonging, shares ten guideposts on the power of Wholehearted living—a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness. Brown engages our minds, hearts, and spirits as she explores how we can cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, "No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough." Daring Greatly is a transformative new vision for the way we lead, love, work, parent, and educate that teacher us the power of vulnerability. Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on twelve years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong . As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people—from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents—shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up. http://www.ted.com Brene Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxHouston, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.http://www.ted.com Shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word.…

3 Easy Ways To Cultivate Inner Peace 21:47

منذ 9 years21:47

21:47

Think about some of the things that you might deal with day in and day out...making decisions, brainstorming, negotiating, helping a friend through a hard time, being there for your family as a mom, daughter, sister, wife, the list goes on and on. Now think about how you want to show up for those situations. I'm guessing you'd choose happy, centered, and calm over miserable, disconnected, and frantic, right? Right. One of the major things I've learned is that focusing on cultivating the peace in your inner life is what will create that sense of peace and balance in your entire life. stokpic / ed gregory So, if that's something you're looking for you've come to the right place! In this week's podcast I share the three steps I take to tap into and expand my sense of inner peace, and how you can do it too. I know these things work because they have worked for me and the good news is you can do them in as little as 15 minutes a day, so you have nothing lose by giving it a try. I can pretty much guarantee that you'll notice a major difference in how you feel, act, and BE. Click below to listen to the podcast and keep reading for a quick look at the steps. I'd also add, if you find yourself feeling super resistant and basically hating the idea of doing any of this stuff, I'm speaking from experience when I tell you that is a sure sign it's exactly what you need to do. Let me know how it goes!! CLICK HERE TO Subscribe to the SHINE & SEEK Podcast on iTunes 1. QUIET YOUR MIND I was super resistant to even trying meditation for a long time. I mean, it sounded nice I guess, but sitting quietly while my thoughts swirled around in my head was pretty much the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. But it became clear to me it was exactly what I needed once I finally gave it a chance and, eventually, committed to doing it as a daily practice. If you're just starting out and pure silence feels like too much to handle, a great way to ease in to it is to pick a super relaxing song you love, put it on, and sit with your eyes closed while you listen to it (Sarah McLachlan does it for me). And then just breathe and let whatever thoughts you have come up, and try not to judge them. You don't have to clear your mind of thoughts, just think of it like you're practicing getting more comfortable being with your thoughts. 2. GET YOUR THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEAD Have you ever heard of Morning Pages? It is a simple practice, but really powerful and not just for people who like writing or journaling. I think of it as burning off a layer of the morning fog in my brain. Meditation starts the fog burning process, and morning pages brings it home. I was introduced to the concept of Morning Pages in Julia Cameron's genius book, The Artist's Way , and was surprised at how much doing this practice helped me process my thoughts. The official description from her site is: "Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. *There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages*–they are not high art. They are not even “writing.” They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages: just put three pages of anything on the page…and then do three more pages tomorrow." The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron I know you might be thinking, "There is NO way I could fill three pages with deep thoughts every morning!" And you might be right, but it doesn't matter. That is the simplistic beauty of Morning Pages. Sometimes what I write is revelatory, but often it's just a stream of consciousness list of the stuff that's taking up space in my head. This is not supposed to be a masterpiece, and no one is going to see it but you. It's just a space where you can let your worries, hopes, fears, gratitude, etc. flow on to the page without giving a thought to how any of it sounds, if you spelled that word right, or what other people will think. It's totally freeing. 3. LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK When we're stressed and overwhelmed we tend to be harder on ourselves for not doing everything perfectly, but in my experience all that does is make the situation worse. Sometimes, you just need to stop judging and let yourself off the hook. So, your job in that moment is to do the best you can and forgive yourself when everything doesn't go according to plan. Just think, what would it be like if you gave yourself permission to be free from that kind of judgment? This can be challenging at first, but each time you essentially surrender it all and trust that somehow all the important things will get done, they do. Remember, done is better than perfect! And each time you have a little victory and things work out because you let yourself be imperfect, you're planting another seed in your mind that you don't need to stress yourself out in order to get things done.…

How Witnessing Your Fears Will Change Your Life 14:32

منذ 9 years14:32

14:32

It's a simple truth that you must witness your behavior if you want to change it. Obvious, right? Not always. Often times our unconscious reflex can be to push down any negative or fear based thoughts we have without even thinking about it. We don't want to look behind the curtain to see where they’re coming from, or fact check if they’re even true because...why? Is it because we think dredging up all the old stuff we've been trying to hide from will only make it worse? Or because we think focusing on our fears and giving them attention will only make them more powerful? The truth is, denying that those fears exist is the thing that will give them strength. If you can admit how fear is driving your actions and thoughts, you can begin to peel back the layers to figure out why it’s there in the first place. You can investigate why you believe the fear is real. In this week's episode of the SHINE & SEEK podcast I dive in to this topic and talk about why looking at your fear and witnessing it when it comes up is the key to clearing it from your life. I also touch on my experience with Gabby Bernstein's best-selling book, May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness , to share how the lesson from the first day in particular helped me identify and get real about my fears, and how it can help you do the same.

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do (+ A New Podcast!) 15:47

منذ 9 years15:47

15:47

Ok, it's true confession time. I've been suffering from a bit of writer's block. Actually that's a lie. I've been writing a ton, but my perfectionistic tendencies have been challenging me and I haven't been able to hit the publish button on anything I've written lately. This led me to think about what to do next, which got me thinking about what I usually do when I don't know what to do. The answer to that is very different now than it used to be. In the past, I would have done a few things without even really thinking about it, like: Asking a ton of other people what they think I should do Stressing out, beating myself up, and overanalyzing the situation Telling myself I just need to go faster and force myself to push through it Thankfully, I did none of things. So what did I do? I meditated. I've learned that creating a moment of stillness so I can hear what my inner voice is trying to tell me is the most crucial step I can take to figure out what I actually think. Cut to me coming out of my meditation and hearing "just talk about what you want to write about until you're ready to dive back in." So...I whipped out my iPhone and recorded a mini podcast talking about what you can do when you don't know what to do. And I have to say it did feel like the right next step. Which is super weird to me because I've usually had a much easier time expressing myself through the written word, rather than speaking off the cuff, but I think that might be why it was good for me to do. My logical mind's decision would definitely not have been, "I know, let's tape a podcast!" But more often than not, reconnecting to your intuition and being led to do something outside your comfort zone is usually the answer you didn't even know you were looking for. If you're interested, you can check out my podcast debut below (caution: in the interest of not being perfectionistic I did not edit the podcast and say "you know," "kind-of," and "um," like a lot).
