It’s Official – I’m a Desire Map Licensee

It’s Official – I’m a Desire Map Licensee

Because of the profound impact desire mapping has had on my life, I want to sing about this work from the rooftops. I want you to have this opportunity to reclaim your life too, which is why…When I heard that Danielle was creating a Licensing program so that people could teach this material, I was one of the first people waving my arms at the front of the line. And now…

I am thrilled to announce that I’m an official Desire Map Licensee (cue the confetti!).

I’m preparing to host my first intimate in-person workshop in Oregon City, OR,  in January of 2015.

If you’d like to join me, click here to request more details.  It’s never too late to live a life that feels good. A life that you consciously choose and design, based on your own core desired feelings.  I’d like to help you uncover those feelings so you can start building a life that helps you generate them.

Love,

Teresa Rodden

My Experience: The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte

Let’s talk about your life.  Do you feel free? Joyful? Connected?  Most importantly, does your life feel the way you want it to feel?

The Desire Map Licensing Program

When I read The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte for the first time, my life was not feeling the way I wanted it to.

I was doing okay as a professional coach, but I couldn’t shake the feeling, that “I” was missing in my work.  My soul was not being honored…it was just business.  I wasn’t allowing myself to show up completely.  It’s not that I wasn’t effective and able to support women to greater lives, but I wasn’t feeling as fulfilled as I knew I could.  Enter the Desire Map…I read and listened to the book several times for nearly a year, but never put pen to paper and did the work.  Not until I attended an in-person workshop.  There I had the space, intention, and support to connect to my soul and get real clear about what I wanted to be and feel in my work.

My Core Desired Feelings didn’t come immediately.  While most were calling theirs out and relishing in their new awareness, the only one I could speak as my truth was “FREE”.  I felt the ever present need to call out a few more that would work fine, but I knew they would be manufactured – not organic and connected to my soul, as was my intention for attending the workshop and waiting nearly a year to do the work.

I went to my hotel room the second evening.  I turned the lights out, I lay in bed, and my eyes were closed, but CDF’s were dancing through my head like sugar plums on Christmas eve.

The second CDF was born sometime during the night…INNOCENCE.  I want to feel the innocence of a child’s curiosity and imagination in my work, when first meeting people, and embarking on new projects.

The next, from out of nowhere it seemed…VERACIOUS.  I have always been a truth teller.  However, I have fell victim to the success trap.  I want to be successful like so and so – so mimic their ways…fake it until you make it.  I’ve always known to just do me and the perfect clients, partners, friends, tribe will manifest.  I may not be perfect.  But I will from here moving forward…do me!

The following was glaringly obvious, but I needed the time to accept it…DEEP LOVE.  I love quickly and deeply most people I meet.  Being an empath I feel deeply and care deeply.  Throw in deep compassion and it’s a love fest.

These three were gifts that came through wakeful dreaming.

There was one more that I had actually called upon over a decade ago…PEACE.  This one is vital for my sobriety – my whole-person health and wellbeing.  I know when I don’t have peace I need to do some work; confront an issue, have a conversation, maybe even let go of something or someone.  PEACE is definitely a CDF.  Who knew?  I was calling on a Core Desired Feeling before I even knew what to call it.  This only enhances the work I’ve been doing and I get to show up fully and love my clients deeply.  Yes, this is the life!

The Desire Map was the catalyst for the change I needed.

This book isn’t just intellectual theory. It actually walks you through the process of practically (+ soulfully) creating a life that you actually want to live, connected to people, experiences and things that you actually want to be connected to.

It seems so obvious, right?

Of course! My life should feel good!

But the thing is, so many of us aren’t living that way. We’re fixated on what others think we should do.  We’re pushing ourselves to meet someone else’s expectations of The Great Mom, The Successful Businesswoman, The Patient Wife or The Forgiving Friend.  And in all that striving to meet other people’s expectations, a lot of us have lost ourselves. For a while, I did.  The Desire Map snapped me out of it and got me back on my own life track, moving towards a future that feels right for me.

Love, Teresa

Mom, I love you This is the dedication in my firs Mom, I love you

This is the dedication in my first book, Wholly Sober.

There are no words to express the depth of love I have for my mom. She is my why.

As I write these words, my breath collects in my belly, there is constriction around my heart, and tears flood my lower lids.

My Mom died sometime between Thursday night and Friday morning. So many questions, emotions, regrets, wish I had, should have, if only...

Got my first Moderna shot today. My husband’s Got my first Moderna shot today. 

My husband’s ride is in the shop so I had to walk to Safeway to get it. While there I needed to pick up some groceries and knew what I bought I’d have to carry for a mile in the blistering 50-degree sun (it felt SO much hotter) 😆 I'm a moon 🌙 child what can I say. ♥️

About halfway home, I started thinking about when I was little mom didn't drive, and we’d have to walk a mile every time we needed groceries: mom and her three little ones.

And when I was a teen mom on public assistance and no car I’d have to walk with Co-bear (Cody, my oldest son) a mile or more and have to push a cart home and then return it.

Feeling thankful for the ability to walk a mile, buy groceries, and get vaccinated.

Oh, my loves, all of THIS 💖 You know I was red Oh, my loves, all of THIS 💖

You know I was reduced to ashes, and it was deciding to be true to what my soul craved that restored me. 

I knew to be free I would have to find another way. 

That required willingness, curiosity, courage, audacity, tenacity and a desire for truth & freedom. 

What do you crave more than choosing to go through life uncomfortably numb?

She is also my officemate, exercise partner, playmate and helps me cut calories by eating part of my meals.

Pets are good for reducing depression, anxiety, boredom, and loneliness which happen to be some of the prominent factors in misusing alcohol.

New blog post: “The photo captured me and a new New blog post:
“The photo captured me and a new friend I had made at church camp, Shannon. She was what I wrote about in Wholly Sober, a good girl. The picture is out of focus, but you can see that it’s me in my swimsuit, cut-off shorts, and pigtails on the right.

Even now, my stomach has an ache in it. As if there is a fist-sized knot pressing up against my heart, causing my breath to catch and giving me a bizarre tingly sensation through my body. Anxiety....

In Wholly Sober, I wrote about this pivotal moment in time.

“…I Would Never Be A Good Girl

Rather than trying to become what I could never be, I disconnected from God and the good girls to be on my own… I stopped thinking about God… I walked away and never looked back. 

I was twelve.

Coincidently that same year, I experienced my first intentional drunk…”

Let’s discuss the “I just want to stop thinkin Let’s discuss the “I just want to stop thinking” trigger or prompt to drink.

Drinking to avoid remembering, knowing, and feeling. We sometimes just use a shortcut for these reasons to drink and say something like, “I just want to stop thinking.”

I get it! Hell, I get it so good I am still haunted at times by memories that seem to pop out of nowhere trying to convince me that I am bad and deserve to suffer. I would be lying if I said I never fall victim to their seduction to shame.

So, what do I do since I don’t misuse alcohol to help put these random angry ghosts from my past back in the “do not open” drawer?

Thinking is hard; judging is easy. Before you dr Thinking is hard; judging is easy. 

Before you drink, Think P.I.N.K.

I want to add even if you drink, Think P.I.N.K.

What? You are not perfect? Who is?

Judging yourself will only cause more pain. Pain leads to drinking. Drinking leads to more problems. More problems causes what? 

More pain! 

Judging keeps you trapped in the PDP Cycle.

Set yourself free and Think P.I.N.K.

The final video in this series but the first step The final video in this series but the first step in the P.I.N.K. Cloud process.

Enjoy!

The K in P.I.N.K. is for KINDNESS

We can be brutal when we make mistakes

when we swore off alcohol forever in a moment of panic

only with time and distance

we reason our resolve away or

tell ourselves we’ll just have one and end up having several

berating shaming and guilting only perpetuates the pain drinking problem cycle

What science has to say about being kind to ourselves

It lowers our heart rate and changes the length between heartbeats

this helps us respond more flexibly to situations which allows us to be open to explore other POSSIBILITIES

It calms the heart rate switching off the bodies threat response

which keeps us from reacting impulsively and helps us to remain focused on our INTENTIONS

When our bodies are in threat response, it shuts down our ability to create new neural pathways.  Remaining kind and calm are ideal for NEUROPLASTICITY (the ability to change our brains)!

 

Before you drink, Think PINK!

Why Pink Cloud? I’m Teresa Rodden, an advocate Why Pink Cloud?

I’m Teresa Rodden, an advocate for having other possibilities to explore and founder of Pink Cloud Coaching, established in 2012.

 

So why Pink Cloud? Because it was being told that I was on a pink cloud over 17 years ago that saved my sober life.

 

It got me thinking about my future and having an aspiration pulled me through relying on a nightly habit of drinking away pain, causing more problems that created more pain, and the cycle would continue.

 

BUT My pink cloud reminded me that I was moving forward, and the future was not set.

 

I had the power of choice, and the possibilities were limitless.

 

Pink Cloud Coaching offers an innovative approach for women who are curious or concerned about their drinking habit.

 

Before you make alcohol the enemy and swear off it forever in a moment of panic which could cause more harm than help
