In this conversation, Grace Boda, an executive and transformational coach who guides people to live from the power of Awakened Presence, shares her powerful practices for staying anchored and connected to what truly matters, even amidst the “frenetic energy” of a busy season.

Key Takeaways:

• Drop Below the Surface: Use the metaphor of the ocean—the surface is chaotic, but the depth is silent. You don't need to change the surface activities, but drop a portion of your attention down into the quieter, deeper parts of yourself.
• Anchor to What Matters: Maintain a background awareness of your life's meaning, purpose, or core values (like family, connection, or legacy). This foundation allows the "superficial froth" of busy tasks to happen in context.
• Use Your Body as a Doorway to Depth:Reclaim your attention by using your physical body. Practices include consciously noticing and regulating your breath, or dropping your attention directly into the center of your chest (your heart space) or a deeper center like the "womb space" for a quick grounding.
• Move Your Energy: Combat mental clutter and sluggishness by physically moving your body. Simple movements like walking (especially outdoors in nature, which acts as a powerful, organizing energy field), dancing (even a three-minute dance party), or hula-hooping help shift disorganized energy.
• Embrace Water for Clearing: Moving water, such as taking a shower or bath, can symbolically and energetically help you feel "washed clean" and shift energy blockages.
• The Quick Shift: When feeling frenetic, the easiest and fastest practice is to pull your attention back from the "10,000 different things" that are occupying your mind, drop it into the center of your chest or body, and take a deep breath or two to quiet down before re-engaging with the outside world.

The Reclaim Marathon is a special mini-series of short, meaningful conversations about what it really looks like to reclaim yourself in everyday life.

In this conversation, Reverend Jennifer Latham, or Rev. Jenn as so many affectionately call her, a priest at Holy Nativity Church of Honolulu, Hawaii, discusses her approach to living authentically and making intentional choices.

Key Takeaways:

• Authenticity as a Daily Practice:Reclaiming yourself means being true to your authentic self. Rev. Jenn practices a "daily check-in" to ensure her actions align with her core values, beliefs, and where her spirit finds energy.
• The Power of the Sacred Pause: To combat being a people-pleaser, adopt the "holy or sacred pause." Don't say yes immediately; take time to reflect, discern, and decide if a commitment is where your energy should go.
• Reframe "Saying No": Realize that saying no to one thing is saying yes to another—an opportunity for yourself, or a chance to allow someone else to step up, which is both humble and empowering.
• Prioritize Yourself: Understand that you are a priority. In order to function well for others, you must recognize when your "tank is running dry" and consciously take time to recharge.
• Find Joy: Actively seek out joy, even during hard seasons of life. Whether it’s sharing a silly dance or remembering funny family moments, joy is a necessary and powerful force for grounding yourself.

In this episode of The Reclaim Marathon, we are joined by Kirsten Bombdiggity, a dynamic coach, educator, and a best-selling author, known for her unique ability to blend unfiltered humor with grace.

In this conversation, Kirsten Bombdiggity guides you toward finding your inner light and giving yourself grace for exactly who you are. We touch upon:

• The Power of Curiosity: Learn to look at setbacks and challenges not with judgment, but with curiosity, focusing on what you've learned that will set you up for future success.
• The Wisdom of Future You: Discover the most compassionate way to guide yourself back when feeling "lost in the fog"—by inviting the wise, unconditionally loving 80-year-old version of yourselfover for a conversation.
• Embracing Playfulness: Kirsten shares a powerful, simple light: you can't be anxious and playful at the same time. Find easy ways to embrace the innocence you still have left, whether it's rocking out to an old favorite song or engaging in activities like coloring or playing with a pet.
• A Fluid "Best": Her simple ritual for feeling anchored is accepting that you are a different person every single day and giving yourself permission for your "best" to be completely fluid and subjective—sometimes the best gift you can give yourself is rest.
• A Decision Tree for the Future: Use Consistency, Gratitude, and Joy as your decision-making compass for a more anchored and successful future.
