Changeable Podcast

In the October class of The Little School of Big Change, an innocent enough question was posted on our forum, meant for me to address in our upcoming group call.It said: “Can you say a bit about how feelings are safe?”On that particular November day, this super typical and relatable question blew my mind.How is it that we have come to question the safety in a feeling?! What is a feeling, anyway? What are feelings made of and from where do they come?What do they show us…how do they guide us through life (See EP17 for a lot on this one!)?What are the implications of fearing our feelings? How do we find peace when we think feelings aren’t safe?These questions form the basis of this Feelings February special feature on Changeable.Because feeling safe and ‘at home’ in our own inner-created experience puts us in a place where change is happening left and right. We’re thriving.And fearing our experience…even questioning the safety of it….puts us on guard. Resisting. Straight into our heads. Innocently in the way of change.I hope this Feelings February series helps you feel even just a little bit more ‘at home’ in your own experience.The post EP29: Are Feelings Safe?

Can you choose to see yourself as worthy, successful, competent? Can you choose what you believe?Can you consciously get yourself into a feeling or state where you’re experiencing and creating more of what you want in life?I’m sure the answer to these questions is ‘sometimes’.  That seems to be the answer to most questions about what human are able to see or do.In this episode of Changeable, I talk about why, even if we can sometimes choose what we want to believe and how we want to feel, the way we’ve been taught about this likely creates more harm than good.I’ll share how it’s not only feelings of love and confidence and goodwill, but an understanding of the new paradigm (who we really are, and how our experience works), that leads to real change.Enjoy this episode!The post EP28: How Choosing what to Believe and Raising your Vibration are Old Paradigm appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

In this episode I talk with Lana Bastianutti and Linda Ford about a topic that affects everyone.It’s a topic that looks wildly different in the New Paradigm than in the Old Paradigm.Confidence.Who has it? Who doesn’t?From where does it originate?What does it look and feel like to be confident?Is confidence Changeable? Or are we born with some amount and we tend to hover around that innate set point for most of our lives?Lana and Linda have had personal journeys with confidence and they’ve recently published a book about how confidence used to look to them, and how it looks now.If you are ready to see confidence in a new way, you’ll love this episode.You can check out Lana and Linda’s brand new book, Women and Confidence: The Truth about the Lies We Tell, here. The post EP27: Confidence in the New Paradigm, and How Changeable It Is. appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Who are ‘you’? Is there even a ‘you’ that exists outside of your ideas about ‘you’?These are the kind of questions my friend Phil spends his time pondering. He’s explored this issue of personal identity with some of the best teachers in the world, and he’s seen a lot in the course of his exploration.If our personal identities are just a collection of thoughts (you can come to your own conclusion about this as you listen), what does that mean for our problems?Who has the problem? Whose habit is it, anyway?I have a feeling this fun, but deep conversation into the nature of identity will get you wondering…Check out Phil’s book It’s All in the Mind, You Know? A Helpful Book of Metaphors here.The post EP26: The Ultimate Addiction is to the Idea of “You” appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

“If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family” –Ram DassFew things bring up as much emotion as family.In this episode, I talk about a game I learned long ago that led to a big insight about how I felt around my family. I’ve shared this game around this time of year for years.It’s not always easy to have a sense of humor about life. But if life isn’t a game, I don’t know what else it is….Happy holidays! The post EP23: How Even Your Experience of Your Dysfunctional Family Can Change appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

Exploring decision making in the new paradigm, debunking the misconception that choices alone determine happiness, examining the weight of choices and the pressure to make the 'right' one, understanding the nature of decision-making and choices, and embracing uncertainty as a natural part of life.

In the Old Paradigm, it looks like we have problems that need fixing. Problems that are special and unique to us; different from everyone else’s problems.In the New Paradigm, we see that’s not the case.We’re all the same and what we’re up against is all the same.Sometimes that’s clear. Most of the time, especially early on as we’re exploring this understanding, it’s not clear at all. We want to our problem discussed; our troubles addressed.Listen to how this recently came up in The Little School of Big Change and what an incredible group of people came to see.The post EP21: Your Problem isn’t Special (The one criticism I received in this run of The Little School of Big Change) appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
