Long time no episodes released! Your girl is back and more excited, happy, tired, and overwhelmed as ever š But living her best life in ABU FREAKING DHABI. Thatās in the UAE, btw.

Regardless, itās been quite the ride so far and weāre beyond excited for what the rest of our time here will bring š Enjoy!

This episode is heavier than others simply due to its content, however, itās an important topic to discuss and one that has been on my heart quite recently. This is my experience with death and grief and my hope is that this episode can maybe bring some comfort, clarity, or guidance when itās come to navigating the trauma that comes with death and grief. Healing is not linear, grief is an eb and flow, and pain is meant to be felt, but we do not have to suffer alone. Whatever you may be currently experiencing, I wish you nothing but love and compassion.
Yo yyyyoooo! Welcome to another Friday episode release, dear friends. This one is a jab-hook of motivation; quick, but does the job. I was inspired to record this spontaneous encouragement by the motivation Goddess herself; Mrs. Rachel Hollis. In a recent podcast episode of hers, she spoke about doing a midyear check-in of your goals, dreams, desires, aspirations to reflect on how far youāve come, and what more you can achieve. Believe it or not, we are half way through 2019 - are you on track, or do you need a kick in the ass? Listen to this to get amped up (hopefully) to continue progressing šš»
On this weekās episode I am accompanied by yet another guru from my holy place (Lifestyle Meditation), Tamara Gervais. Tamara is an Acupuncturist, Beautycounter advocate, and dog Mom of the cutest Bulldog named Max.

I learned SO much from Tamara not only about acupuncture, but ancient Chinese medicine as well. You can find Tamara on Instagram @soulrestoration and at the Lifestyle Meditation studio in Edmonton. Take a listen, I know you wonāt regret it š
