Brittany
A lighthearted podcast about everyday life from personal stories, to mental and physical health. I believe in unity. I believe the world needs more individuality and light. That is my purpose here. We will have the good conversations along with the hard ones and I hope to share so many laughs along the way.Blessings Brittany
It's been a minute so sorry about that there's something to be a little bit of everything I guess I talk about my struggles it's so worth how that's kind of coming up in my own therapy. I gave a little Quinn update she's doing great by the way and I'm happy to report that. I talk about even how I have fallen into the trap of the whole spiritual community and was some of the people have to say and I think it goes directly Sim to Milo sense of self-worth and I think that a lot of people of that are famous in the spiritual community use that as a tool to manipulate their followers I believe that the spiritual community is currently in the midst of being exposed and I am here for it I only mention it briefly here it's more of a rant than anything else but anyways happy to be back and I promise you I will be more consistent and I hope to hear from you all soon as always thank you so much for being here.

Hello World!
I took what was meant to be just a two week break and it turned into months. The universe had other things in store for me and my family. I have been dealing with a bit of an identity crisis. It is so easy to put yourself on the back burner when you are a mom. My girl Quinn will always come first but I am navigating trying to find the right balance between taking care of my family as well as taking care of myself.
I am so ready to get back to recording! New episodes in the coming weeks!
Lots of Love

Being a mom is hard. Leaving my baby for two days was even harder but it did a world of good. I was not showing up as the mom that I want to be and it was because I was so tired. It is okay to need rest. It is okay to admit that you are tired. Most importantly it is okay to take care of yourself so that you feel better and so that you are better able to take care of the people that you love the most.

There is no separating the mental from the physical for me. I believe that our mental health is tied to our physical health but they are interchangeable. I am an advocate for leaving your toxic environment although I know it is easier said than done. A lot of people don't take into consideration the physical impact our toxic environments have on us. So when we are working in an environment we think we're just dealing with annoying people, a terrible boss, never ending work tasks, but what people don't realize is that your body is having a chemical reaction every time you're in this horrible environment and you're not taking the time you need to rebalance. If your body is in a constant state of stress you are not healing nor are you able to heal. Our bodies were naturally miraculously designed to heal itself with the right self-care and nourishment. If we are not nurturing ourselves our bodies begin to break down and its my belief that this is what causes mental illness and disease. I am all about healing naturally even though it takes longer but this is my calling and that is my journey and I am so thankful that you were here with me I hope you're all doing well and I hope that you're finding a little more magic each and every day.

I have had a strange relationship with anger of the years. I went from not believing I should not be feeling angry to experiencing rage for the first time in my life. Unprocessed emotions will come out in very real ways even ways that may scare us. I was not dealing with my emotions in a healthy way and that cause my anger to manifest in some really scary ways. If you get any message at all from today's episode, it is that you are allowed to be angry. Healthy anger has the ability to give us the motivation to make changes and move forward and truly change our lives. We just have to be open to learning what this emotion is telling us.

This has been a very challenging transition for me. I am going through one transition just to start another one. I am almost unrecognizable. Not because I look that much different but because my inner world is so different. The vast majority will most likely say well welcome to the real world. However I refuse to belittle such a profound concept down to simply "the real world". That is as bad as saying "that is just the way it is." I refuse to accept things especially if they don't sit well with me. I like everyone else am not safe from life's challenges. I am. not stranger to learning things the hard way. I believe there is at time and a place for self criticism but when is the right time to step back from the criticism and simply be there to support yourself. I got lost in the negative feedback I was getting. Not only did I feel like I needed to be doing more and I needed to be doing better, these feelings were being validated by almost everyone in my life. Until I decided to speak up. Until something in me that was stronger than all noise was like " Don't be afraid and just speak." So I did.

I suppose I don't get too deep into the being a working mom. My work is part time after all but honestly this internship is taking a toll on me and how I often just want to quit. The truth is I don't have a desire to leave me baby. When I am away from her my body feels it. It is my belief that mothers should not be apart from their babies in the beginning. We were not made for that. As a society we have moved so far away from that. We pride ourselves on being the person that can do it all and honestly I am here to tell you that I don't want to do it all. My exhaustion is not some badge of honor that I am proud of. I miss sleep. I miss my partner but I also miss being able to just be me all while missing my baby when she is not near me. Motherhood is crazy! This internship is crazy. And on the days I just want a glass of wine I discuss briefly why I choose not too. The truth is I struggle with alcohol and I am working on why I feel like I need that glass of wine. I don't have the answers but I am exploring. Thank you all for being on this journey with me.
Sending you all the good vibes,
Brittany
I have always struggled to fit in. I never really had a place that felt like I belonged. I found myself conforming just so that I wouldn't feel so different but the truth is I always felt a little different. I would endlessly listen to people talk and I would never speak up or question what they were saying. I don't know why I cared so much about what people thought of me but I did. I thought it meant something if they didn't agree with me or they thought my perspectives were crazy. For some reason this made me uncomfortable. But then I started to speak up I started to question out loud what people were saying and it made people really uneasy and I didn't understand why but most importantly I stopped caring about their discomfort. Not out of hatred or anything like that it's just why should I walk on eggshells for people that I don't even know. At the end of the day the people that matter will be there even if they disagree with you. The people in my life accept me for who I am and that person is different and that's OK. My perspectives of the world are just that a perspective. It doesn't make it right and it doesn't make you wrong. I keep an open mind and I question the world around me simply out of curiosity and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I love a good conspiracy theory I love to hear people argue on whether the earth is round or if it's flat I love when people question who the queen really is and if Reptilians are real. My beliefs are mine and they are always subject to change. I am not here to tell you what to believe I am only here to share with you my perspective. As always thank you so much for being here.

It was not easy choosing to give birth the way I did. Not because I was not sure about what I wanted to do but because people kept giving me serious shit about it. Thankfully my mom was and sister were on board with my decision to have my baby in a birth center. They are always supportive of my weird and I am so grateful for them. The medical industry isn't what I thought it was and the more I find out the more I am devastated. Baby blues are also a thing and I experienced that. I also talk about the placenta a little bit. As always thank you so much for being here!

Hello Beautiful People
Where everything is just ramping up on my end here. I can only think that God let me be a hermit for so long so that I can handle everything that I am headed towards. This episodes are like little therapy sessions for me. They help me make sense of my little chaotic world whether its my physical world or the crazy world that dwells within. I have been somewhat consistent when it has come to controlling my internal environment. It has ultimately begun to change my external work even though that was not my original intention. I have been attempting to change the way my mind works simply to bring myself some peace but ultimately it has begun to change my physical environment. Maybe there is soemthing to this whole "we control our own realities" idea. I am not sold completely yet but excited to see what is to come. I know that my world is changing and instead of being afraid of that I am trying to look at it in a more positive way. Things are about to get wild but I think it will be in the most fantastic way. When you show up authentically in the world, eventually things start moving!!!Not everything is love and light sorry... but when you are authentic and honest you see and feel the difference. I am not sure where all this is headed but I am ready!
Wishing you all the very best!

Hey Hey!!
This week I share about a moment when I was living outside of the moment and when I let my thoughts sort of take over. I am becoming more and more aware of my thoughts and how they guide me and surprisingly it has played a huge role in my manifestation journey. Weird!
You would think that would be obvious to me but it wasn't ! As always thank you so much for being here. Do you believe that you manifest your own reality?

Brittany
Hey guys!
I am late!!! Life is just so hard to get use to sometimes. It was a weird week so I apologize for the delay. This week I wanted to talk a little but about the shady business that is happening online in the spiritual community but also the entire world. I mean don't shut down because I use the word "matrix". Whether you believe in the matrix or not it is important that we start empowering ourselves and realizing that the only person coming to save us is ourselves. I believe the world can change but I believe it happens within a person!
Thank you so much for being here!!

When it comes to intuition I have got some serious questions. My intuition as a mother seems to be a stronger than my own intuition but is that really the case? I don't claim to have any of the answers but I am up for exploring all the topics.
Thank you so much for being here!
Sending you much love!

Hi Lovlies!
I wanted to share a little about my postpartum journey especially some things that caught me off guard. I am not giving medical advice just simply sharing my journey and what has worked for me and things I wish I would have done. I did forget to mention one thing and that was SITZ BATHS!! Those helped me so much when healing so I can't believe I forgot to mention them!! As always I am so grateful that you are here!! If you have any question or just want to connect feel free to contact me.
Polibky,

Hey Everyone!!! Welcome back to Season 2!! What better way to start Season 2 than by sharing our journey to get Quinn earthside!! Having a natural birth was nothing like I expected! It is the rawest, realist, most amazing thing that I have ever done in my life! You will hear a little bit of Quinn since she woke up mid recording but it is her story too so I did not edit her out. Shout out again to Journey Birth Center for making this miraculous experience possible!

The time has come to cut off season 1 it has literally been going on forever! Thank you so much for everyone that is here listening! I will be back with Season 2 after I heal and me and baby get our routine going. I am going to rest and wait for her arrival! I seriously can't wait to meet this little nugget! She is already cooler than me :) Send us prayers!
This episode might be a little tiny rant about us women! Let's unify guys and come back together! We are all beautiful special being and we should treat each other as such! Look I have my flaws too but it helps when we can admit me. Let's start with ourselves so that we can all make the world a beautiful supportive loving place!
I love you all

Hello Beauties,
The unique thing about my journey is that I am recording it in real time. So many books and podcasts are simply about something that someone has done to get to where they are. The truth is I struggle. I struggle with blockages that I am starting to believe really hold me back. One of those blocks is self worth and this podcast talks a little bit about this block and what I am doing to help unblock myself so that I can be open to receiving all that I want in this life.
Thank you so much for being here and listening!
Sending you Lots of Love

Pregnancy is so medicalized in our society. I talk about how my pregnancy has proven to be such a spiritual process and quite the tumultuous journey. It has brought up about so many changes in my life and the turmoil these changes have caused especially in regard to my relationship. I have not handled a lot of my transitions with grace but that is okay.
I also share a little about my last session that I have with my child self and how it was so different than all my other sessions.
Our wounds reveal the cure. That is why we must acknowledge them so that the wound does not grow but instead heals.
Love you always and thank you for being here.
Brittany
Hey!!!
This episode I talk a little bit about what I have done in regards to friendships and how I am declaring to the world that I want to build soemthing of my own and how its my dream to sun my lady parts with my new friends (HAHA) and just a few things that you can start doing if you feel that some of the relationship/friendships in your life are draining you.
Thank you so much for being here!

I have always wanted to make the world a better place. I use to think this could only happen if I did soemthing really big. I have since scaled back and I understand now that it needs to start with me. It is okay to not be perfect, and it is good to take accountability where we can and should do so but at a certain we have to hold others accountable. It is not our job to save everyone and I struggle with being a saver for sure. This episode covers this. Thank you again for being here! I love you all so much.

I didn't expect the conversation would go this way but here we are. I guess that means it needed to be said. Don't be discouraged by the title it isn't what you think :) We are all in this together! I just want us to come together again and not feel so alone in this world. Follow your intuition, build a life that gives you freedom, and most importantly it's time to be honest about your feeling!
Love You Always,
Brittany
I talk about what spiritual bypassing is and how annoying I use to be when I got a little too deep in my own spiritual journey. Be authentic be real, but also give yourself a break!
Sending you all so much love.
Brittany
This episode takes a small look into my own experience what unintegrated emotions and how that manifested physically into my life. Truth is I am simply a mess sometimes and I talk a little about that here!! haha
Thank you for being here!
Brittany
This episode I talk a little bit about what's going on with me. I also talk about how I want to show up in this world and how it looks a lot different than what most people do. I can't imagine going back to my old life and I am taking the step to build a different life.
Sending you so much love,
Brittany
Hello Beauties,
I am back again! This episode talks a little about what has been going on with me and where I am at in my life currently. I also take a shallow dive into what I am doing to take back responsibility of my own health.
Love you all so much and thank you for being here.
Brittany
My not so dramatic return with a little bit of insight about how my healing journey has been evolving and what breaking the cycle has looked like for me.
In this episode I talk about being away for awhile, what it new and what changes I am trying to make.
Love you All
Brittany
I am not much for politics but this episode I say my part and that will be it. If you aren't into that then skip this one. It will never be my intention to cram my beliefs down your throat :)

So my new neighbor is a stoner, I feel like my heart is ignoring and I offer a couple of tips they may or may not work! It is going swell!
I have tried and tried to upload a new episode but it turns out I was talking about things I just thought people wanted to hear. So this is not that. This is just what I wanted to say :)
I am embarking on my dream of having a podcast and this is my first episode. I talk a little about myself and a little about life. I am so excited to be here and can't wait to see what will unfold.
