Courageous Conversations is about sharing the hard parts of our life journey and the courage it can sometimes take to find the way back to ourselves. Listen in as host of the show, Mandie Woodard and her guests share their life experiences and the lessons they have learned. All in an effort to guide us towards more peace, more love, and more compassion.
In this episode we talk about the art of setting boundaries with love and how to communicate how you're feeling from heart space. This time of year can be particularly difficult when it comes to navigating strained relationships, so let's talk about it!
If you're feeling stuck in what to do, there is a simple practice I share in this episode that will help you gain clarity.

How often do we get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle, forgetting to check in with ourselves? If you're like me, the answer is all too often. Today, we'll uncover how our experiences, trauma, and emotions are held in our bodies, both energetically and physically, and how stress, anxiety, and depression can impact our overall well-being.
In this discussion, we explore the importance of genuine self-connection, asking questions that will help you identify your current emotions and needs. We'll talk about the crucial role emotions play and the need for giving our bodies rest. Sharing my personal experience with recurring 'low days,' we'll investigate the patterns in our emotional landscape, learn how to recognize them, and discuss steps towards healing and breaking these cycles.

We live in a world buzzing with energy, yet many of us are unaware of our own biofield, our unique aura that can be harnessed for healing and growth. In this conversation about energy and healing, we share scientific studies and personal insights around your aura how it can be harnessed for growth through rest, listening to our bodies, and energy clearing. We also delve into the transformative power of meditation, underlining its importance with inspiring real-life success stories.
In this episode, we also tackle the essential aspect of living our truth. Authentic connections, stepping into our power, and creating space for service are all part of raising the frequency of the earth. While we believe in the power of rest and connection, our mission goes beyond just talking—we invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Come be part of my free three-week workshop, where we navigate these concepts together and equip you with tools to create a life you love, one that resonates deeply with your desires.

Ever spent an entire night awake, worrying about your children's future, or felt an overwhelming guilt for a mistake you made as a parent? If so, you're in good company. In my heart-to-heart conversation with Amber, a passionate advocate for children, wife, and self-confessed nerd, we peel back layers of parental guilt, emotional walls, and the challenge of balancing self-care with caring for others.
The journey of motherhood is like walking on a tightrope. It's complex, beautiful, and at times, incredibly challenging. Amber shares her transformative journey with therapy, shedding light on her struggle with postpartum anxiety, and the importance of identifying emotional triggers and maintaining a healthy relationship with oneself. Drawing from our personal experiences, we dive into the power of resilience, the fine balance between codependency and interdependence, and the healing potential of early marriage counseling.
Our chat doesn't end there, though. We also touch upon the emotional vulnerability in men, discussing Amber's husband Derek's healing journey. We emphasize the power of a supportive community, acknowledgement of our parenting mistakes, and the importance of emotional resilience in children. As Amber profoundly puts it, heal first, then create space for others to heal. We wrap up our conversation with a potent reminder - you are loved, valued, and appreciated. As we navigate through this rollercoaster of life, let's remember to always extend empathy, offer support and, most importantly, continuously strive to be better versions of ourselves.

Kirsten Ruybalid, owner of Wildly Whimsical Events, sits down with me to chat about her first year in business and some of the lessons she had to learn (the hard way).
The biggest take away I had from our conversation was that we don't need others to know that we are worthy. It's something we have to feel for ourselves. And just by doing your purpose work, you will come to know and feel that for yourself.

The words "healing journey" have become trendy. It's a good thing because maybe more people will begin to walk that path, but also it may get overlooked because it's on repeat lately.
The truth is though, we all have things we can heal and grow through in our lives. We would be stuck in a fixed mindset if we believed anything else.
In this episode I talk about MY healing journey and what that has looked like. I also explain Reiki and how I incorporate that into my practice.

Spent an hour talking with my husband about how different we are and how we have managed to love each other even in the hardest of times.
Some couples may not have any issue at all going with the flow and accepting each others differences but for us it hasn't always been easy. There have been lots of things to work through and learn and after 20 years its still something we have to work at regularly.
The workshop we talked about was with Matthias Barker. He is one of my favorites to follow (@matthiasjbarker on IG), I always love his advice and guidance. You can purchase that here: Couples Workshop

This episode is all about the unhealed ego. I talk a lot about Human Design in it as well and how that can tie into not being in true alignment with yourself.
Not being in alignment with ourselves is a powerful realization that we MUST have, but yet- a lot won't. Especially when it comes to the ego.
Our choices don't just impact us alone. When you are operating in whats called "not-self" or in unhealthy ways for who you are at your core, you impact the people closest to you as well. Unintentionally (or intentionally) hurting them.
Getting that Ego Center information can change the way you operate drastically. Healing the Ego and cleaning up the messes you may have made when operating in unhealthy ways will change your life for the better.
A self-discovery journey is hard work but I can promise you, it's worth the effort.

All throughout our lives we experience many different cycles filled with lessons to be learned. Sometimes we see them, sometimes we don't. And sometimes the results hit us like a 1,000 lb sledge hammer.
Cycles can come up in relationships, money, business, mindset, seasonal. But each cycle is there to push you to a new level of being.
In this episode I share with you what it looks like to be in a cycle and how to break it.
