In this weeks episode, I share my thoughts on the simpler days of childhood - full of warmth & innocence, when the world was our giant playground. And how as we grew up, we began to create an identity of ourselves that separated us from the world around us by creating layers of thoughts and emotions to keep us feeling safe and protected from the same world that used to be our playground. The once innocent & happy child becomes so buried underneath these layers that we lose sight of who we truly are... until we realize that we can choose to remove these layers at any time. When we decide to heal and peel back these layers, one by one, we can learn to take our power back and understand that life doesn’t get easier - it’s about digging deeper and understanding why it’s been so hard.
As women, I believe it is very common for us to feel disconnected in today’s world - from ourselves and from others. In this week's episode I am joined by Danielle Bryan, founder of Illumination Wellness Co, where we chat all about the IGNITED: Ohio Women’s Retreat and why we believe every human can benefit from the connection and transformation that these events can bring into our lives by discovering the ways in which we dim our power and learning to connect to ourselves and others by igniting the power that already lives within.
As women, we rarely find education or conversations (beyond the text book) about our menstrual cycles and hormonal health. In this weeks episode, I am joined by my friend and personal health coach MJ Adams, owner of Uniquely You, where we chat all about women’s health and how important it is to listen to our bodies and find the path to wellness that is unique to YOU and finally let go of the narratives that tell us our symptoms are “normal”. You won’t wanna miss this episode, period ;) You can connect with MJ at: https://theuniquelyyou.com @the_mjadams
We’ve all had those moments where we feel as if no matter what we’re doing, we just feel stuck. How do we begin to stop looking for the quick (and often temporary) solutions and learn to use these moments or seasons to grow? In this week’s episode, I wanted to share more on why I believe these times give us an opportunity to begin focusing within ourselves and how sometimes even the smallest changes in our routines can help us to find the answers and solutions that already live within us, when we choose to listen.
In this weeks episode, I am joined by Lorena Alexandra, owner of L.O. Brand Photography, where we chat all about the expected (and unexpected) twists and turns of life and how they often lead us to a path of personal growth, transformation and discovering our purpose. Finding purpose can look different for everyone, so join us as we dive into what purpose looks like, the misconceptions around it, and how you can feel like you have purpose right here and now!
How a long distance friendship, sparked by a passion for working out, quickly became a lifelong connection that was ignited by a shared passion for growth. On this week’s episode I am joined by my soul sister, Lyndsay Laganke, where we talk alllll the things - from road trips with a stranger to meeting celebrity fitness trainers, from marriage to divorce, babies, trauma and hysterectomies - through thick and thin, we have learned to trust ourselves and the path we were destined to walk, together.
Join me in my very first episode where I share more about who I am and how my own healing journey has helped to spark my passion and purpose in helping to empower other women who feel like they’ve done all the things to be “healthy” yet still feel as if there’s something missing. I believe that everything happens for a reason, so tune in to see how even the scariest times can propel us onto a path of learning how to focus within ourselves and find the solutions we need to become healthier - mind, body and soul.
