Do you love your work right now? How is it affecting you physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

Continuing on with the discussion of work-life balance, is there such a thing as “too much” work if you love what you do?

Join me in this solo episode as I explore this topic, as well as hear me discuss:

• How to approach your work if you don’t love what you do?

• The difference reframing your mindset and finding little joys on the job can make

• How I was able to turn things around in my day job and make it enjoyable once again

Work-life balance is an argument of the ages, but is there a universal solution to it? Listen in as I go through the varying definitions of balance, differing perspectives, and an alternative approach to bringing harmony into your daily life.

By the end of the episode, I’ll walk you through different questions to ask yourself, all of which will hopefully lead you to figure out what work-life balance can look like for you.

Episode Highlights:

• Defining and perspectives of balance

• Assessing priorities and boundaries

• Questions to ask to determine what work-life balance can look like for you

This episode is all about my Human Design as a Projector.

You’ll hear me share:

• The foundations of Human Design

• How Human Design is different from other personality frameworks

• How I’ve unknowingly been living my type

• How I’m learning to integrate it into daily life and what that’s been like

In my health journey over the years, I’ve come to learn that the human body is so much more than what manifests physically.

The body has a cohesive flow that when there is disruption, can cause so much more damage to us than we realize.

In this episode, I share how 2020 was a year of self-discovery for me, especially as I learned about and leaned into my Human Design. You’ll hear me discuss:

• How the pandemic gave me the time to reframe and redefine self-care

• How I came to learn about Human Design and the synchronicities it has with other self-healing modalities I’d been using

• How it helps me grow in all aspects of my life

• How I’m incorporating it into my health coaching work

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
