In this episode, I interview Bridget Blythe Briere, the host of the Soulcially Responsible Podcast. Bridget says she spent a long time being an imposter in her own life, including clinging to a career in TV News for nearly 15 years because she thought she had to. In fact, Bridget believes many people hide behind what they THINK they’re supposed to do and who they THINK they’re supposed to be and that’s a big part of why she created the Soulcially Responsible podcast.
Purposefully pursuing a path of life beyond labels, titles, and roles – and recognizing that we’re not the thoughts we think (we’re separate from them) – Bridget is sharing her journey in order to provide guideposts for others to do the same.
In this interview we discuss:
- What it means to live from “the inside out”
- What is ego?
- You are not the thoughts you think
- How to fly your “brain plane” (we all have one)!
- How to make daily activities more mindful (yes, even chores)!
- How we create our own suffering. It’s often not the “thing” that creates the suffering it is the story behind it
- How mindfulness can help us communicate more effectively
- Why positive thinking isn’t always the answer
- The power of noticing and accepting
- Who are you behind your own labels, titles, and roles?
