Today, I'm giving you a gift. And it's one you might not even know you needed. But one that will help pull you out of the negative headspace you've been in and are maybe afraid to climb out of because you aren't sure what's waiting on the other side if you do.

I Need Serenity. Back to Nature. Have Coffee Will Travel Sunday Edition Episode 39

Today, we weren’t feeling it, so we went in search of serenity, and found peace in nature. This podcast is coming to you from the lake, where we are sitting in camping chairs and basking in the sunshine as we listen to the waves crash against the rocks. Sometimes it’s the simple things and the hidden gems as you travel, both figuratively, and in life that make the biggest difference .

We talked about using your senses to describe scenes and locations, revealing character development as it relates to our own life experiences, and how bits and pieces of ourselves as strewn throughout our books as insights, life lessons, and emotional growth.

We talk about grief, recovery, stagnancy to awakening, and the growing pains we're experiencing as we move into this new season of life.

There are a few things we would encourage you to read and watch on your quest to find yourselves and discover who you are, whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, or perhaps, like me, the loss of the woman I am leaving behind in search for who I am at my core. We'll share those below.

The Greatest Project You Can Work on is Yourself & Old Ways Won’t Open New Doors - Have Coffee Will Travel BONUS Saturday Edition - Ep 37

Hello friends!

We are taking you with us LIVE on our first hike this Spring! 

This week has been a week, let me tell you! But above all else, we've learned that the greatest project you could work on is none other than yourself!

And being stuck, stagnant, and reliving the past won't get us to where we want to be - to where the future us NEEDS us to be. So we've shifted our mindset to realize that old ways won't open new doors. We're breaking out of the mold and shedding layers of our former selves as we pivot and take the first steps to change.

We are stepping through that new door with eyes wide open, and learning to live in the moment as we grow and heal and transform into a better version of ourselves than we ever thought imaginable.

We'll take you with us every step of the way, and you can learn right along with us what to do and what not to do.

Come on, you've got nothing better to do, right?

Join on us this journey, won't you? 

It's gonna be a wild ride, so buckle up and stay tuned.

When A Breakdown Became My Breakthrough- Growing Through the Hard Things - Ep 36

What I am beginning to understand is that my pain and my Trauma were meant to lead me here today so that I can better serve you by sharing my pain, and my scars and turning them into a purpose that can show you that you can make it too. So that you know that you are not alone and that you too, can heal and become whole again.

 

Like I've said before, this is not a one-and-done healing experience.

No meds, no shot, no cure, no superpower antidote to make it all go away. Actually, that's not true - we DO have a superpower antidote, not to make it all go away, but the power it holds is the strength and determination, and belief to know that we CAN get through this. We've dealt with the hard stuff already so now holds the space for us to heal.

 

I just heard on a podcast this week that said we have to get lost in order to be found. So I'm choosing to look at this a different way - I'm scared right now because I'm more lost than I've ever been. I found myself suddenly pulled back into the past facing my traumas as I'd never faced them before.

 

I am a mosaic of fragmented pieces of beliefs, traumas, happiness, sadness, pain, growth, love, experiences, and a beautiful mess of life lessons that create my spiritual, physical, and emotional being.

And this is my profound revelation of the week, lol - we are not the sum of ONE giant healing experience.

 

We will heal millisecond by millisecond at a time. I've been waiting for one experience, one sentence, one feeling that tells me I'm healing. That I've forgiven and can move on.

 

But I'm learning that it will be a constant practice every day of moving towards that goal and learning along the way.

 

Sometimes we fall from Grace and we don't measure up - because we are human. Forgive yourself, but don't make excuses.

Own up to it. And DO better.

 

I know your life hasn't been easy, and the cards you've been dealt have sometimes sucked. You've faced more pain, more trauma, and more awfulness than anyone should ever be asked to endure. At times, I've felt like that too.

 

But, here's the thing. We have the opportunity to open our eyes and hearts to the possibility that our pain does not define who we are. It does not define our wholeness and healing either.

 

What happens from this moment of awakening and moving forward is now MY fault. MY responsibility!

You are the artist of your life.

 

We can either remain tethered to the Traumas of our past and never take another step forward to change.

That choice is 100% yours to make.

 

But we can also have a profound breakthrough as I did this week and realize that every single day moving forward is a gift from the universe.

 

We get to decide what kind of art and colors and energy we want to create and put onto that beautiful, messy canvas that will become the greatest project we will ever work on -

 

That project is Yourself.

And you get to say who stays, who goes, how you live, who you love, and you get the chance to start over and make your new self as whole and as healed as you want to be without any limitations as you become the very best version of yourself that is possible - if you just take that first step forward.

 

Every Single Step Towards Healing Counts.

 

I hope you'll take that first step with me today.

 

All my love,

 

~ Sadie

 

Travel Edition - Food, Music, and Memories that Inspire to Do More of What Makes You Happy - Have Coffee Will Travel Sunday Edition - Episode 35

Good morning all! This morning on a special Travel Edition of Have Coffee Will Travel we are talking about the music, the food, and the memories that inspire Wanderlust and fuel the longing to travel.

We share inspiration from our co-authored book Have Fate Will Travel.

https://www.amazon.com/Have-Fate-Will-Travel-Chances-ebook/dp/B08NCCPYP4/

 

We talk destination bucket lists, movies, shows, foods, and music that have inspired our love of traveling and searching the country for hidden gems and destinations that inspire us to want to hit the road - Destination Unknown.

We are reminded that while this life feels too short at times, we should do more of what makes us happy.

Set a plan and make it happen.

Don't be afraid to dream big. If it doesn't scare you - you're not dreaming big enough!

And take it from us - don't keep making excuses, just do it now.

Please, don't wait til it's too late.

How to Believe You are Enough When Your Trauma Says Differently. Forgiveness is Your Turning Page - Episode 35

Good morning and Happy St. Patricks Day to all you lads and lasses out there celebrating your Celtic heritage as I am! I have corned beef, carrots, and potatoes slow cooking in the crockpot and my hubby will be adding traditional homemade Irish Soda Bread when he gets home. I can't wait!

 

What are you all doing today to celebrate the holiday? it's also Friday - FINALLY! So what pot of gold are you searching for this weekend to fill your life with abundant joy and purpose?

 

I will be promoting my new book, Fragments of Hope. If anyone hasn't snagged a preorder copy yet, you can do it on Amazon today!

 

https://www.amazon.com/Fragments-Hope-Memoir-Survival-Recovery-ebook/dp/B0BY3NJ1SH

 

It's a memoir of Loss, Survival, and Recovery through the eyes and heart of the main character - Hope Austin - as she hits rock bottom after not one heartbreaking loss, but two.

 

In this powerful story of rediscovering the woman she once was, Hope struggles with addiction, depression, and hopelessness as she comes face to face with each stage of grief.

 

Finding the strength to rewrite her story of tragedy through profoundly moving and deeply intimate chapters of finding grace, a second chance at love, and a purpose born from her journey through grief, she discovers that forgiveness was her turning page.

 

Now I know I might be biased because I wrote that line, lol, but it ended up being the most profoundly powerful sentence of the book.

 

Forgiveness was her turning page.

 

The topic of forgiveness is probably one of the hardest subjects and the most subjective material I could talk about. And I have refrained from bringing it up much because, honestly? I'm not there yet either.

 

Today, I'll take you on a journey of discovering insight into the earliest memories of when we first felt as if we were not enough.

 

We unpack baggage from the past and make a critical choice to empower ourselves on this journey, knowing that it won't make the pain disappear, but we will no longer let it become the driving force of the deeply wounded scars of our existence now.

 

The road to changing your life and rewriting the story of who you want to become without being tethered to a past that no longer has any purpose in your life now will teach you the lessons and then give you the strength to move on.

 

Loving yourself despite your trauma and learning to forgive yourself is the path to that freedom.

 

Now is the time to make the choice - which path on the road will you choose?

 

Your next move after that is to take one step forward, then jump. And I'll be beside you every step of the way.

You have permission now to believe that you are enough - even when your trauma once told you differently.

 

You don't need to believe those lies on this new path. They have no place in your life anymore.

 

It's time to Seek Your Truth.

 

It's time to Find Your Voice.

 

Forgiveness is your turning page.

 

Until next time,

 

I am unconditionally yours,

 

All my love,

 

~ Sadie

 

 

What Happens When Your Train Derails and How to Get Back on Track - Have Coffee Will Travel Sunday Edition - Episode 34

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today, Stephen St. Clair of the Crafted Quill Podcast and I are talking about a theme we can all relate to lately - Stuckness. Stagnancy. And getting off track.

We talk about trauma and its connection to spiritual, physical, financial, relationship, and mental derailment and how to get back on track and plot a new course as we learn from lessons of the past and how to make better choices as we learn and grow into a better version of ourselves, not in spite of those traumas, but because of them.

Until next time,

All my love,

~Sadie
