Today we discuss the idea of Foundational Self Care. But what is Foundational Self Care? It is totally different then what we have been told by the media, by marketing, and by western culture. Foundational Self Care is about repairing and fortifying your foundation, the things that actually fill your cup. Not fleeting good feelings of a mani/pedi, but of true refilling. 4 areas - Physical, Spritual, Relationships and Business

We lie to everyone around us everyday without even realizing it. Everyone lies for different reasons, normally to protect themselves. But the biggest lies we tell are to ourselves. Can you be 100% honest to yourself about anything? In today's podcast we talk about the importance of being violently committed to telling yourself and others the truth. I discuss my own experience of being 100% honest with my husband about my spending and food addictions. We mothers have so many things on our plates, let's not add living in fantasy land to them!

Everyone has an ego, some people call it the natural man, some call it the id, but we all have one. It rears it's head when we are offended, feel judged or oppressed. Our EGO has come out to play.

We women have a voice and we need to use it! Young women now a days are thirsting for female voices that relate to their situations, the problems they're facing. But women who are successful in business, in child rearing or caring, in relationships and mental health, aren't speaking up! In today's podcast, I discusses how important it is for women to begin speaking up. We have women around us that need to know they aren't alone and there are people who got through it who are willing to talk about it. Do you like what you heard? Please rate and review this podcast.

My struggle with depression has been really intense lately. I've learned coping strategies and ways to work around it over the years.

My favorite super hero is Wonder Woman. She stands for everything that I want to be, truth, integrity, strength, power, and love. In today's episode I talk about how the scene of Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, confronts Steve Trevor about going into No Man's Land on the battle front and saving the people of the German city behind the German army. Diana stands when no one else could, taking the bullets, taking the heat, creating space for others to follow her into the fight and eventual victory. I apply the actions in this scene to what we must do in our lives to be leaders and to live our truth even when it is difficult, unpopular and isolating. We all must lead in our lives, take the heat and create the space for others to follow. Like what you hear? Please rate and review this podcast so that others can find it too!

This week's episode I talk about an experience I had at the gym, where the fire alarm went off, but no one got up and moved. Most people sat on the equipment looking around as if they were unsure what to do, or just flat out ignored it.
