Love Wide Open With Heidi Dellaire

Meditation has been known to reduce anxiety, stress, and fear. So many people dismiss meditation because they think that it is a space that is devoid of thought and then they say, "this isn't for me". Well, it's impossible to not have thoughts as a human being. Meditation allows you to get closer to your true self. It allows you to get in touch with your heart space instead of always living above the neckline.  You can find my free Heart Space Guided Meditation on my YouTube Channel of the same name Heal Your Story with Heidi Dellaire.

When you were a child, did your parents or teachers see you as sensitive or shy? Do you need to withdraw during busy days to someplace where you can have privacy and relief from the situation? Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations or people? Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art? Do you have a complex and bountiful inner life?  You might just be a highly sensitive person.  I work with many people who are empaths or highly sensitive people. I understand because I am a highly sensitive person and have been down this road more than once in my past. Now, I help others through this. I am here to help. I help HSP's build better boundaries and calm their nervous system to have a better understanding and trust of their inner guidance system. I teach tangible tools to help your situation.  Listen in on any podcast platform of your choosing, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, Goodpods, Podchaser, Stitcher

This is a follow-up to Episode 84 in which I talked about Empaths needing solid boundaries in order not to be manipulated by narcissistic types.  In this episode, I discuss healthy boundaries and the 10 signs that may lead you to understand that you lack healthy boundaries.  If you are looking for help, you can reach out to me via DM on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lovewideopen, via email at hello@heididellaire.com or by signing up for a Heal Your Story Strategy Session on the Work With Me page of my website.  You can listen to any episode on my website at heididellaire.com/podcast or on any podcast platform like Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Spotify, etc.  Happy Listening.

Empaths and Narcissists have a magnetic connection and this is why it is so important for the empath to have solid boundaries, which many don't even know they need. Without solid boundaries, the empath will always fall prey to a narcissist.  Add gaslighting to this scenario and the empath is in a tailspin.  I work with many people who are empaths or highly sensitive people. I understand because I am a highly sensitive person and have been down this road more than once in my past. Now, I help others through this.  I am here to help.  Listen in on any podcast platform of your choosing, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, Goodpods, Podchaser, Stitcher, etc. Please subscribe and leave a review.  I would love to hear from you about this topic.

If you want your life to be different, you have to make it happen. Nothing is going to improve your life if you aren't willing to make changes. YOU have to go out and DO!  Let's walk through the phrase "easier said than done" to understand why we instantly respond this way when we feel like something is too hard to do. It's actually a phrase of self-betrayal.  This episode may make some feel a little edgy and that is because you have continually put your life on hold instead of taking any action...getting caught up in the feeling that something is too hard to do.  Stick with me on this one. I am here to help. Start small. Baby steps to change or changing your life.  Subscribe and listen wherever you listen to podcasts so that you don't miss an episode and reach out for help.  Want to work on the story you are trying to heal?

The podcast is changing its name to Heal Your Story. Have you ever noticed how people tell stories about who they are that just don't match up with who they present to be? We often tell ourselves stories in order to cope...with past trauma or with something deeply ingrained in us from childhood. That can all manifest into physical pain.  I am excited to share this new podcast which is much more related to the work that I do with clients. I help people get out of their busy heads and back in touch with their heart space. It allows them to shift the narrative they have been telling themselves in order to heal.  I share a little bit about my healing journey, which as in turn, allowed me to help others with their healing.  If you are interested in working with me, you can sign-up for a Heal Your Story Strategy Session to learn more about my Heart Space Sessions. They are truly powerful.  You can find out more about me, my services and my book here @ https://heididellaire.com/  or on my se

How often do we sabotage ourselves right before we get to the good stuff, or right before we have to make a decision about something?  There are many reasons why we self-sabotage our happiness. It can be caused by fear of failure, a need for control, old patterning, negative beliefs. The list goes on and on.  In this episode, I discuss what self-sabotage looks and feels like and 3 steps you can take to stop self-sabotaging your happiness.  If you would like assistance or are struggling, I would love to help. You can find out more about Heart Space Sessions and my coaching on heididellaire.com For other self-development resources, you can visit my article site, lovewideopen.com If you are on a platform that supports reviews or ratings, I would love your support.  Have a great day and thank you for listening.  ~Heidi, your Heart Space Coach --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message

Have you ever wondered how some people move through life with such grace and ease even in times of turmoil? Nothing seems to keep them from being positive or attracting more positive situations to them?  What's their secret? Their secret is a daily practice of gratitude and appreciation. And when I say, "daily" I mean "daily". It isn't just some ho-hum feeling grateful for a minute and then not practicing it again for weeks.  I work with many clients in this area. We work on a daily practice of gratitude and appreciation to bring them more peace and ease in life.  I wanted to do something on a larger scale to help more people, so I created an Attract Positivity Through Gratitude and Appreciation 14-Day Challenge. I really love this challenge. It's fun, easy and sets you up for future success in attracting positivity into your life.  I would love to connect with you more inside the challenge. You can find it under the courses tab on either heididellaire.com or lovewideopen.com or through th

There is actually a preparatory process to go through in order to invite love into your life.  We have to let go of past loves and heartache and we need to have a big 'ole dose of self-love and good boundaries and be living in a way that brings serenity and peace into our lives.  Today, I discuss these all in-depth and offer up 6 suggestions to help get you prepared to invite love back into your life.  If you are at all feeling like you need a little extra help in the self-love department, please visit my "Work With Me" on the heididellaire.com page and learn about Heart Space Sessions. I truly adore these client interactions.  When we practice gratitude and appreciation, we open ourselves up to more beauty flowing into our lives.

Personal Responsibility is a battle cry for 2021!   I have had so many friends, clients, and colleagues touch upon how personal responsibility is part of their growth path and spiritual path this year. In this episode, I discuss how a call with a client inspired me to record this episode.  When we take responsibility for ourselves and our actions, we leave room for better things and experiences to come into our lives.  Sending you all a big hug and lots of love as we start this year and SEASON 4 of this podcast.  If you are interested in individual Heart Space Sessions, you can find out more information about how to work with me here: https://heididellaire.com/work-with-me/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message

2020 has been a challenging year. Many of us found ourselves bombarded with change daily. How did you adapt or pivot to take on this change? In this episode, I discuss why I have been so quiet this year and what it has meant to me now that we are headed into 2021. I also provide some practical tips on how you can learn to embrace change more easily.  I found great solace from going within and really deciding who I wanted to be going into 2021.  I was absent from my podcast and my social media because I was busy working on myself and with my clients to discover the best versions of ourselves.  If you are interested in learning more about Heart Space Sessions, you can go to HeidiDellaire.com and head to the "Work With Me" section.  May you all find yourselves more resilient in 2021 and ready for anything that comes your way.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message

What does that mean...the art of holding heart space? "The Art of Holding Heart Space" is the tagline to my social media presence and website for Love Wide Open. Love Wide Open...the art of holding heart space.   So many people have asked me what it means and how you hold heart space for yourself and others. I will even go as far as to say that holding heart space can literally save the world if we all practiced it. Join me for this episode where we dive deep into the heart of ourselves so that we can bear witness to others. The world needs more of this right now.   I referenced my course, Creating Peace Within, at the beginning of this episode.

If you are in a relationship with someone with a toxic personality, you might find yourself defending everything you say or do. Over time you will begin to question your own perspective as each action on your part causes a negative reaction. Does that sound familiar? So many people enter into relationships with toxic partners. There are many reasons this may happen, but for the most part, it is because there is something unhealed or something that you don't even understand about yourself that drew this type of person to you.  I work as a Heart Space Coach with clients around these types of issues. I work with folks to restore their self-esteem and self-worth and help guide them to a more confident self in all of their relationships.  I use an integrative, embodied approach to healing.  You can find me at heididellaire.com for coaching work (look for the Work With Me page).

We often believe that we are self-aware when we really ARE NOT. Being self-aware helps a person make more informed decisions, and contributes to one's overall wellbeing. Self-awareness makes it easier to identify situations and people that hit our triggers and enables us to anticipate our own reactions. It allows us to make positive behavioral changes that can lead to greater personal and interpersonal success. Being aware of yourself also helps in identifying what your stressors are, so you can utilize the information to build effective coping mechanisms.  In this episode, I will give some tips on how to cultivate self-awareness. It will help you and the others around you.  If you are interested in working with me directly, you can find out more about my Heart Space Sessions 1-to-1 Coaching at HeidiDellaire.com or find more self-development articles at LoveWideOpen.com.  Sending lots of love. ~Heidi --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/healyourstory/message

Around the world, fears of Covid-19 are spreading faster than the actual virus. Countries are firming up their borders, many businesses are closing, thousands of people are buying with panic, and the majority of us are being asked to self-isolate. It's entirely understandable if you have feelings of fear, anxiety, or insecurity at this time.  We are feeling collective grief: grief for what was, what is and what may be.  We are in an unprecedented time.  The only thing we can control is ourselves in the present moment. Mindfulness and meditation can help ease those moments of doubt and grief.

In this episode, I discuss the difference between meditation and mindfulness. That meditation is about quieting the mind, while mindfulness is about being aware of what you are doing while you are doing it.  Granted, there is more to it than that. I give some examples of how to bring mindfulness into your life. It takes practice if you are someone who is always up in your head. I teach mindfulness and meditation to my clients as part of their healing routine. There is a mindfulness blog series over on HeidiDellaire.com.  I would love to connect more with you.
