In this episode, Sara has a conversation with Michelle Hunter. Michelle shares how she works daily to embody that she is enough just as she is. Whenever she is struggling she goes back to the simple phrase "I am enough just as I am, just as I am". We so often do not give ourselves enough credit for how incredible we are just as we are.

1. Grew up always believing that being skinny meant that she was worthy. Self-talk was a constant stream of negativity and not feeling that she was good enough or worthy. Always concerned with what other people thought of her or what people were saying about her.
2. This self-talk created immense levels of anxiety and the need to control and predict every moment of every gathering or scenario. She truly believed that she could not show up as herself and be accepted as her. She desperately wanted to be just like everyone else and as a result never really got to know herself and Michelle
3. Her social and personal anxiety changed as she grew, after the birth of her first child she experience anxiety around leaving him even with his dad as she was unable to control anything that could possibly happen when she was not present. She experiences anxiety around his development, starting daycare/school, and not always being present
4. Michelle lost a child near the end of her second pregnancy and her first experience of losing true control over her own experience. Shortly after she found herself pregnant again and all she wanted was to know that a stillbirth was not going to happen again and no one could provide that answer. Using all of her control to know her movements and always being ready to go to the hospital if needed, if she could control that then she could save her.
5. Michelle found help in finding and connecting with other women who had, had a similar experience. Women who knew a similar experience and could connect with what she was feeling. Helping her to move forward. However, this experience was proof that she was not good enough.
6. Control remain the only mechanism she had to cope with her anxiety. Michelle began to shift her control from external to internal. Controlling what she ate, when she ate, how often she worked out, and how hard she worked out.

In this episode, Paul shares his journey from unexpectedly losing his job which was pivotal to his role within his family and his identity as a provider for the family. He began by googling what it was to be a good husband which eventually lead to learning what it was to be a good man.

1. How a true understanding of embodiment and how our physical bodies are the vessels that hold and express who we are to the world. Even our voice does not happen without the body doing certain things and voice changes based on how the body feels at a certain moment.
2. The danger with spiritual work is that we are always looking for something outside of ourselves when really everything that we need already lives within us. Asking how do you get to the place where you feel that you have full permission to show up the way you want to show up and readiness to deal with the consequences.
3. Humans are the only creatures that hold onto trauma, as humans, we have been taught that "boys don't cry" "man up" and that due to this we have to use other ways to release the trauma that our bodies hold onto whether through, breath work, myofascial release, or shaking.

In this episode, Sara has a conversation with her Aunt Denise a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in the State of Florida. They discuss all things finding a therapist that will work for you.

They discuss:

3 key components to saying yes to a therapist, Trusting your gut to decide if they are a good fit, knowing your boundaries, and having an understanding of what results you would like.

The importance of being a part of your treatment plan, ensuring that your therapist understands the timeline you can afford, and if you would like tools and resources,

Therapy is for you, but feeling comfortable and connected with your therapist is key. On initial appointment, share as much as you are comfortable sharing, but you can also ask questions about the therapist's credentials, specialties,

Be open to what you may hear, be open to seeing things differently, be open to releasing old thought patterns, be open to healing from the inside out, be open to emotion, be open to hope. If you are ready to rise from the darkness, it is much easier with a non-judgemental ear by your side to guide you along.

Therapist red flags: Trust your gut always, if they disclose too much personal information, you feel despair more than you feel hope. Some sessions will be hard, but you should start to feel hope within the first few. Know that you can always switch therapists at any time!

Sara highly recommends taking notes as you listen to this episode. These tactics can apply to not only choosing a therapist but anyone you are sharing personal experiences with.

Meet Denise:

Denise is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in the state of Florida. When she decided to become a therapist in her 40s everyone that knew her said, "finally!" She says that her career in therapy started at age 3 when she would line her dolls up on the sofa and help them through their troubles. Denise has become passionate about counselling and the connection between therapist and client. As she believes that a successful experience is dependent on the trust connection between client and therapist. Denise truly believes in the power of therapy in guiding individuals through the darkness into the best versions of themselves.

In this episode, Sara shares a recent conversation with Marsha Vanwynsberghe. Sara discusses how it is that she came to work with Marsha and her tips on how to pick a couch.

1. You are already having results from the tangible tools and guidance from their social, podcasts, speaking engagements, etc. and seeing results
2. They do NOT guarantee results or tell you what you will get out of the program. They share a general guideline of what is included.
3. They don't tell you why you should be in the program or what they offer. They offer support and wait for you to ask for more.
4. Follow that gut feeling ALWAYS!

They also discuss how to figure out what the dream job is. The short answer is it comes from within you. It is the result of your life experiences in combination with the gifts you were born with.

In this episode, Sara shares a recent realization of her continual battle with self-worth. Although she has spent the last two years working on herself and can now see endless possibilities in her life, she does not always believe that she is worthy of it. This lack of worth leads to the spiral of procrastination, not taking her own advice, and making things so much harder than they need to be.

But the result of all of this work is that she now realizes the spiral much faster: mood swings, Netflix's, and fatigue. But she has also surrounded herself with women that recognize it and ask the hard questions.

Sara can now take the steps that she needs to head back on track, getting up and cleaning the house (vacuuming solves ), regular meals, regular fitness, scripting, journals, conversations, and identifying specific action steps to get focused and back to work.

Sara also what she is thankful for with Canadian Thanksgiving just passing. We so often get caught up in life and mindset of lack, wanting this or that, more money, a different lifestyle, wishing and praying for things to be different. So many of us are lucky to have access to basic things that most of the world does not. Hydro, running water, heat, medicine, choice of health, choice of nutritious food. And how if we remember those things that we often take for granted and live from a place of abundance and creation and not lack, we would live much happier and fulfilled lives.

Sara asks some thought-provoking questions at the end of this episode. She encourages you to take some time to answer them as you continue down your path you.

How do you define abundance?
What does it mean to have an abundant life?
Do you believe you are worthy of an abundant life?

In this episode of Path to Me, Peggy shares that after years of feeling resentful towards the broken medical system, and blaming the system for making her fall out of love with the job she always wanted. She was experiencing exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and general unhappiness with life as work-related stress began overflowing into her personal life. She finally got tired of waiting for the system and people to change.

Peggy shares how after following those she finds inspiring online, realizing that even those that seem to have it all together also struggle, she began investing in herself, attending retreats and taking personal development courses. She began to shift her perspective and started taking responsibility for her anger towards the health care system.

Peggy shares the importance of intentionally doing the things that bring you joy every day, taking time to disconnect and move. For her, this looks like a consistent morning and bedtime routine. Peggy advises that this may look a little different for everyone, as long as you do something. Peggy shares that when she first started being intentional, she set reminder alarms in her phone to ensure that she takes the time for herself, that she still has set years into her self-care journey.

Meet Peggy:

In this episode of the Path to Me Podcast, Sara has the pleasure of conversing with Raven Blu.

1. Raven discusses how she was born sensitive. She has learned throughout her life that sensitivity is not a negative as she was taught to believe but that it is a blessing. She shares how it is her sensitive side and her ability to read the emotions of others that kept her safe throughout her childhood

2. Raven shares about one of the wake-ups calls she had in her life where she lost the ability to walk in multiple accidents. She shares how she allowed herself one day per week to feel her emotions and focused the rest of her time looking for solutions within her own gifts, where she began to see that she could use her sensitive side as a gift to help others

3. Raven discusses how dancing is the best medicine to release emotion within the body while honouring the events that lead to the emotions. She shares how when you do not physically move emotion out of the body; it remains stored as pain or discomfort.

4. Raven shares how a spiritual awakening following a car accident allowed her to embrace the wonder of being fully free in who she is now and allowed her to believe that she is truly worthy of love.

Meet Raven Blue. Raven is a Registered Massage Therapist with more than 10 years immersed in various levels and dimensions of healing modalities. She believes that we are all here with a purpose to fulfill, not for fame or fortune. For Raven sharing her story comes with immense courage as the act of being vulnerable in sharing her own real-life story, her authentic truth, and being her honest and integral self is not something that she does lightly. Raven believes that if we are not our authentic and integral selves, we are lost in the grid of false reality. She is here purely to empower others. She is an intuitive life coach who helps others stand in their own heart and soul as she guides others to embrace their unique purpose and mission. She truly believes that to guide others, we need to heal our own wounds first.

In this episode of the Path to Me Podcast, Jennie shares her journey in who she has become today.

She discussed the impact of the passing of her father when she was just 12 years old. And her memory of the pivotal moment when her life changed. Not only her relationship with family and friends but also her relationship with herself.

Jennie discusses how the adults in her world did not have any tools to help her through this time. Her friends were no longer able to relate to her. She was isolated as the girl that lost her dad when all she wanted was for people to treat her how they had before her father's passing because she as a person had not changed.

Jennie shares how she began to hide from her world by diving into her school and work as a way of coping with her new reality. She embraced her emotions only in private, hiding them from friends and family out of the need to be treated normally.

Jennie shares how she was a victim of the date rape drug, the biggest pivotal moment in her life. She discusses how it lead to the realization that she could no longer continue to do life alone. She discusses how she has the choice in how much power the challenges in her life continue to have.

Jennie shares how her family doctor was the first person she reached out to for help as she recognized that it was a safe and confidential place. This was followed by therapy, and she shares how she was seen by a psychologist who provided her with tools. Jeanie discusses how that hard in her life has prepared her to do the things that she is meant to do in this life.

In today's Path to Me Podcast episode, Sara shares how she found the relationships that she always wanted. She discusses how it was not until she began to work on herself that she realized that she was worthy and enough. That she can truly be herself around others because people love her for her, and that those "relationships" she has always been searching for were there all along.

She just could not see what others were offering because she could not see beyond the story that she was too different to have "those" types of relationships. It was in learning to love and accept herself that she found authentic relationships with others.

Sara asks some thought-provoking questions at the end of this episode. She encourages you to take some time to answer them as you continue down your path you.

What qualities do you seek out in friends?
Why are these qualities important to you?
Why donèt you have those types of relationships?
What is your role, and how can you show up differently?

Today I am sharing a conversation I had with my dear friend Kelly. Kelly discusses how at the age of 41 she finally got to know herself.

Kelly discusses that due to the fear of upsetting the world around her she lost her voice. She shares that through finding her voice she has learned who she is as Kelly, independent of others' beliefs.

Kelly discusses that when you are not speaking your truth or using your voice you develop anxiety or unease because using or voice allows you to stand in your personal power which creates ease in your life.

Kelly also discusses her journey through the recovery of alcohol and drugs was not an easy choice but that the vulnerability of others showed her new possibilities in life. She also discusses how when she began to open up to those closest to her she began to find freedom.

Kelly's first step to changing her path was moving her body. Short walks and audiobooks pushed her forward into a life she never imagined possible for her.

Meet Kelly Thorne. Kelly, is a Canadian speaker, coach, teacher and author. She is a single mom to twins and an advocate for families living alongside addiction. Her mission is to help families affected by addiction find freedom in their own lives, remove guilt, and empower themselves on their own journey of self-discovery. Through her own personal story of recovery, in addition to being a spouse who lives alongside addiction, Kelly has had to learn how to navigate co-parenting through separation and addiction, effective communication, and the implementation of consistent boundaries in her life and relationships. When Kelly shifted her story from blame to ownership, she began to create the change she was so desperately searching for. Kelly offers coaching and programs dedicated to helping women trust and use their voice, build their courage, and create freedom in their own life.

Today on Path to Me Podcast, Sarah and Sara have an open conversation about Sarah's path through grief after the loss of her partner.

1. Sarah discusses how journalling provided a way for her to remember her journey through the fog of time that she lost to grief. Sarah also discusses how those journal entries have allowed her to see how far she has come because some days it feels like the journey is just beginning.
2. Sarah shares how she scoured the internet looking for a guide to know that one day life with a loss would be easier but all she could find was textbook answers that told her what phase she should be in, which was not comforting. She hopes that is sharing her journey through this grief she can help others move through their own experience and know that whatever they are experiencing is normal. But also that it does get a little better over time.
3. She discusses how having a friend to lean on and hold her accountable through the process was pivotal and encourages others that may not have a friend they can be open with to invest in therapy.

Meet Sarah Ozmond! Sarah is an Ontario-based, recently published author in a dynamic collaboration with several inspiring women. In She is Strong and Free III, Sarah shares her story of grief and discovery around the loss of her partner almost 5 years ago. When she is not busy pouring maple syrup on something or dancing in her kitchen, Sarah focuses on writing or having honest conversations with people on a similar journey.

Episode 3: I Started Listening to Me with Marsha Vanwynsberghe

In today's episode, Marsha shares her journey through teen substance abuse and how she lost herself trying to save her teens. While also dealing with the opinions and judgments of others. Marsha discusses how her life began to change when she realized that she needed to save herself first to save her teens.

In the process of rebuilding her life and redefining who she was so that she could be a better support to her family, Marsha started by listening to herself and what she needed. Marsha learned that when she truly listened to herself, she realized how unaligned she was within her life and began to take steps to learn what would work for her and her family.

She recognized that nothing would change until she took ownership of her role in the blame she carried towards others in losing herself to the chaos within her world.

The first step Marsha took towards the life she has today was finding a Crisis worker who provided her with tools she could implement and start taking action towards changing her life.

Marsha discusses how pivotal implementing boundaries was in providing safety within her world and how saying no to things allowed her to say yes to herself. But ultimately, the thing that has saved her life and leads Marsha to the life she has today was learning to listen to herself and trust her intuition.

Thank you for listening and sharing!

After years of searching for which relationship was the one to end, Sara found that the relationship that had to change was the one with herself. She learned that she could no longer leave her happiness in the hands of others and had to choose herself first. Sara also learned to embrace forgiveness for herself and others, which was pivotal in becoming who she is today.

Episode 1: My Journey to Podcast.

Today, Sara discusses what led her to start this podcast and what you can expect from listening to this podcast.

In this episode, Sara shares her journey through the education system and how the opinions of others and failure lead to her feeling incapable, like a disappointment, and different from everyone around her.

She discusses that going with the flow became the norm, and "I don't know" became her favourite phrase because just going with the flow allowed her to fit in with those around her regardless of what she really wanted. But it also allowed her to play small as she was afraid of failing or disappointing others again. As she no longer had faith in herself.

When Sara finally reached the crossroad in her life and could no longer continue down the path of frustration, anger, guilt, and resentment, deep in burnout and compassion fatigue, she began investing in herself. Therapy, Mentorship, Journaling, and Mediation, along with all things water, healthy foods, and exercise, are all tools that lead Sara down this new path to who she is today.
