With the Thanksgiving holiday right on the horizon, it’s a good time to take a moment to really reflect on everything that’s been happening in our lives.

Ultimately, we all wish to be better people, and we each have our own interpretation of what that looks like, and our own journey in how to get there.

In this episode, I share how community and meditation have profoundly shaped what that path has looked like for me this year, particularly in the exploration of how to practice non-judgment (spoiler alert: it’s super hard), finding courage in forgiveness, and acceptance, and healing through vulnerability.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• Using meditation for self-healing

• Exploring non-judgment, forgiveness, and acceptance (especially towards ourselves)

• How self-gratitude is a form of self-care

This pandemic has had me asking myself many times over, ”How can I look at this situation differently?” What is normal now is uncertainty. This is one of the big battles that we’re facing at this time. We’re uncertain of what will happen to our jobs, our businesses, our families, and basically our entire lives. And all this uncertainty is causing us stress.

But what if we "think differently?" What could happen if we let go of all the mental, emotional and physical burdens that stress brings? Easier said than done, I know, but how about, instead of accepting stress as a part of the new normal, let’s take a different approach and learn ways to reframe it in a positive way.

In this episode, I share my personal experiences with stress in the first few months of the quarantine and how I’ve dealt with it.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• Work stress

• Facing the possibility of being laid off

• Dealing with uncertainties

• My personal experiences in feeling unbalanced, out of control, and defeated

• How I took a different approach

In this solo episode, I share how to get your internal self into a good place through self-awareness and mindset shifts. Oftentimes, we focus on different factors that hinder us from being successful in whatever it is we want to do when all along we’re standing in our own way.

There is no greater way of taking care of your health and your well-being than by shifting your mindset through self-awareness so you’re able to release the stress that’s been burdening you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This is what allows ourselves to truly feel and thrive as happy healthy people.

You’ll hear me discuss:

• Steps I took that are essential in my self-healing journey but why I never felt fully healed

• Tools that have helped me: Embodiment, Human Design, and Astrology

• How these tools have helped me

If you’re someone like me who used to check the newspaper to read their daily horoscope readings, then you’re going to enjoy this episode!

Since learning about Human Design, I’ve been curious about the systems it’s based upon, astrology is one of them.

So a few months ago, I had a natal (birth) chart reading and it validated things that I innately knew about myself, that I had never shared with anyone else. And, it also enlightened me to see astrology in a new perspective.

Joining me in this episode is Julien Elizabeth (I had my natal chart reading with her). Julian is a teacher, astrologer, and writer, who’s inspired by the cycles of life, the natural world, the universe, and spirit.

As an astrologer, teacher, and yoga practitioner, her work focuses on strengthening our connection to the intuitive world. She’s motivated to create more pathways and tools for self-healing.

You’ll hear Julien and I discuss consciousness, how astrology can be used as a tool for health, and simple wisdom and aspirations to live an authentic life that reveres gratitude, compassion, and honesty!

Episode Highlights:

• Astrology + Human Design

• Astrology as a self-healing tool that can help us lean into our intuition, and develop self-awareness

• How Julien got into astrology work

• My birth chart reading experience with Julien & takeaways that I'm using as tools for health

• The Fall Equinox and why it’s important

We often look for external resources to help us manage our health, mindset, stress, and really, discover “who are.” But much of what we are in search of is already innate within us, just waiting to be discovered. Human Design is a system that can help us uncover these gifts that we already possess.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m joined by Leadership Coach and Human Design expert Erin Claire Jones for a conversation on how Human Design can be used as a tool in how we approach our work and health, and how we manage our productivity and mindset.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• The depth and layers of Human Design

• The impact Human Design can have on productivity, team building, communication, and success in the workplace

• 3 insights on how Human Design can support digestion

• What Human Design can tell us about how to approach workouts

Our mindsets can be a massive roadblock on our journey to achieving whatever it is we want to do in life. If we succumb to it, then we're more likely to become less healthy (physically and mentally), and less productive.

In this episode, I share with you some recent shifts that I’ve had related to my mindset, and how it impacted my productivity, stress, and combatting burnout.

If you’re someone who’s ambitious, driven, with so many things you want to do but you’re struggling with finding the time and energy to get it done, then this episode is for you!

Episode Highlights:

• Burnout is more than just being tired

• The different types of burnout

• How to see things from a different perspective and rewriting the stories we tell ourselves

• Where do our expectations come from?

• Learning about embodiment and the idea of our internal struggles

• Doing what works for you

We can’t avoid stress but we can change how we respond and react to it!

Without knowledge, guidance, and support you can make mistakes along the way or worse jeopardize your health.

In this solo episode, I want to share with you the 10 mistakes that I’ve made over the past few years especially when I learned that I had adrenal fatigue.

Recovery from adrenal fatigue is slow, challenging, and can be quite confusing, but I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned from all those trials and errors.

I hope that by sharing this, you’ll be able to avoid those pitfalls and not make the same mistakes that I did.

In this week’s episode, we:

• Examine how we came to form our perceptions on what perfect health

• Why ebbs and flows of health are to be expected and showing yourself grace through it…especially during a pandemic!

In this week’s episode, we examine realities vs perceptions when it comes to how we’re consistent with the basics of health and wellness.

Are your daily habits matching what you think they are, or what you want them to be?

You’ll hear me discuss:

• What the basics of health and wellness are

• Why it's important to do self-audits and assess how consistent you are with them

• How attending to these simple, but often overlooked practices can resolve health concerns

And you’ll hear me share my experiences and challenges with each of them.
