How are you? And other questions you wish people would ask…

How are you? It is an extremely important question. We brush past it, but attending to it carefully can provide deep insight into our human experience. ‘How are you?’ is not a greeting. It’s an invitation. You are invited to share how you really are. We will talk about that and whatever else you wish people would ask you that they don't. I'm here to ask because I believe that one of the ways we can improve the quality of our lives now, without changing our lives first, is by sharing our stories and saying what’s on our hearts. From my heart to yours, how are you dear one?

A - About

This is the first episode of the first iteration of this podcast! It was originally called How We Define Things. I've ALWAYS wanted to do this and to talk about words, what they mean and how we use them to create our lives. I am flipping PUMPED to be doing that. This is uninterrupted, unedited, B time, about words - for 20 minutes. I limit myself so I don't go on and on haha! It just wasn't broad enough for me to exist fully so it has now become a stream of episodes that are a part of B. I hope you will enjoy!  Stories, ideas and thoughts about words, the ones we choose and how we use them and how defining and redefining them has made the difference between being a brilliant, unique, creative force and … missing out on who I really am.

I'd love to know.  I mentioned a few things I want to share in the notes here: Embodied Contemplation - thebspot.online - I'll be sharing more about it there!  The Gene Keys - genekeys.com Human Design - jovianarchive.com  Have fun, self-discoverers!

C - Celebration

Yessss yes yes. Chatting about celebration and what it means to me... how I had an idea of celebration that is connected to the Fairytale/Storybook version of life and how I had to allow myself to remember that my things are important too. All things are the same in value which means my things are valuable too. Huge for me.  Key really. I also talk a bit about Chats with B sessions where we go through versions of defining things for ourselves. I work with people to do this for themselves and it's really incredible. This particular episode is inspired by a session with one of the amazing people I work with. Redefining celebration has been a game changer for me.  What does celebration mean to you? Tell B. I'd love to know.  If you want to have Chats with B - https://www.thebspot.online/whats-up If you want to connect with us on IG (delicious content coming soon!!) @thebspot.ig  I Am Here Now: Self-Discovery experience begins on October 4th!

B - Belief

Today I talked about belief with you... what is a belief? What does it mean?  I looked it up and I talked about how the word belief has become about so many different things... it has to be true, be attached to my morals and values, a sense of confidence in myself and also has to be aligned with the tribe and society. Whew!!!! Really though, to me, a belief is just a habitual thought pattern that becomes a default. It feels true because it shows up in my manifested reality.  So what happens if I don't like that? If I don't feel good about my beliefs? I share some stories about that... it feels awesome to talk about words and what they mean to me. Thanks for being here.  In the episode I mention my offering 'Chats with B' - this is where we sit down and talk about How We Define Things aka how YOU define things. I do this work with some people and it's fantastic to see them transform their own definitions of things and allow their life to flow in more alignment with what feels important to them.  I also mentioned 'Embodied Contemplation' sessions - where we do similar work sometimes, but use a process of moving and breathing to discover and uncover truths about what we talked about. The link to experience these things with me is below.  Connect with me via my offerings : thebspot.as.me  IG: @thebspot.ig Website coming very soon!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/howwedefinethings/message

Creative Embodiment

Creative embodiment - the process of using tools, methods, forms of creativity to integrate what I'm learning into my body + live it in my life as opposed to just thinking about it    What do you do to embody yourself? Creative embodiment - what does it mean to you? To me this is the experience part of the knowledge part.  If knowledge = self discovery, experience = creative embodiment    Together - knowledge + experience = wisdom  Together - self-discovery + creative embodiment = presence and fulfillment   What do you think? Do you want to share your experience?  Feel free to connect with me. More about me: biancapaigesmith.com  Work with me/the experience of B: biancapaigesmith.as.me

Uncertainty

Reflecting on the role that uncertainty plays in my life. Does uncertainty play a role in your life? I have lots of thoughts about it, especially as it relates to my family relationships. It's been a lot for me to contend with, but I am allowing myself to go below surface level lately and I am very glad for that.

Courtesy

I am learning about what courtesy really means to me. I am learning to communicate the truth of how I am feeling without aggression and to actually make steps towards sharing without repressing. Repressing my emotions felt like the “right” thing to do but it has been harming me. It is dishonest to everyone. False courtesy. That’s what I talked about today.  I also talked about a retreat I am doing through the Gene Keys - genekeys.com Work with me: biancapaigesmith.com/offerings Contact me: hello@biancapaigesmith.com

When Human Design Found Me

I felt inspired today to begin sharing the journey of when Human Design found me. It's been 5 full years. The start of my sixth year in my Human Design experiment has nearly begun and I was feeling reflective and contemplative. It's been amazing to think back to how different life was for me back then and how much has changed. How are things going for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts about this episode. Is there anything that you're completing and reflecting upon? You're invited to share. Connect with me below =)  Here's a website that is a fantastic resource if you want to look more into Human Design for yourself - jovianarchive.com I mentioned last week's episode about my needs, shrinking them to make me take up as little space as possible, do you ever do that?  Listen here if you want: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/HCRH610mjxb Email- hello@biancapaigesmith.com Website - biancapaigesmith.com Book sessions - biancapaigesmith.as.me

Needs

Today I talked about my needs, what I’ve learned about them and how I’ve realized that I have learned to ignore them. I habe learned a lot about this from contemplating this over the last few weeks. I basically have learned to minimize my needs and have as few as possible, to not be a burden. Very confusing to navigate now as a grown woman. What are your needs? How do you treat yourself around those things?  I wrote about my needs on my blog here : https://biancapaigesmith.com/my-needs/ I mentioned Human Design, here’s a great resource: jovianarchive.com Want to work with me? projector magic : biancapaigesmith.com/offerings Mutation: in real time (my website): biancapaigesmith.com

Grief

Grief is something I really want to talk about. So I am starting here. In this episode I talk about how my grandfather passed away and I decided not to attend the funeral and wake in person. I also started blogging about grief. They are more like poems/stories. I will link them below.  Are you grieving? Sending huge hugs out there to anyone who is.
