We have all heard "Home is where the heart is" but I love the definition that my guest, Author and Interior Designer-Carrie Leskowitz, gives of HOME on this week's podcast: "Home is the combination of ourselves and our living space." This conversation is an honest and insightful look at the transformative power of an energetically aligned home from 2 designers who have seen miracles happen, within our own lives and the lives of our clients. Carrie shares with us how the insights and actions detailed in her book, OM for the Home, which was born from a personal medical crisis can be applied to your home to create an environment that supports sustainable joy. She shares how she applies the skills she learned as a life coach to help clients and readers create more awareness around harmful thought patterns. "How you do one thing, is how you do everything. It is all connected." Finding the messages your home is giving you can guide you to deep insights + revelations that help you expand and grow into the life you desire.

Colors play a vital role in our children's growth and development. Since colors are energetic wavelengths with different frequencies, they influence our bodies. Like all other energies, children are even more sensitive to them than we are. Using what we know about color to support our children's individual personalities and biological makeup is important. When we design their space in a way that takes into consideration we can improve their overall health, physical, mental, and emotional. We can also bring more joy and stability to their daily lives. This is a subject I am passionate about and could talk for days. I tried to stick to the basics of how to get started.

Do you remember the time when you were passionate about a color? I love how toddlers proudly and confidently announce their favorite colors. There is no denying that the color they love is one that they feel; all the way to their bones! Color has a vibrational effect on all of us, even when we have stopped communicating our passion for it. In this episode, I share with you the ways that you can use the colors that directly affect your mood during this time of decreased sunlight. I teach you which colors work best and why. How to identify the right color/s for you. I share with you the ways to incorporate them in your decor and other areas of your life, as well as the visionary process for using them to alter your vibration and create an environment ripe for healing and relief to take place.

What does it mean to be trendy? When clients announce to me that they are “not trendy” upon first consultation, I know that it means one or a combination of these 3 things: “I have definitive opinions about what I do and don't like.” “I want the selections in my space to have staying power, i.e. I don't want my space to feel dated in a couple of years.” “I want to feel seen in my space.” Many times they have invested in products or services that haven't aged well. Or conversely, they have made choices they loved in the past.  And now what they see in the retail market isn't their vibe, yet they feel the need to update. I often get asked about the Colors promoted as “color of the year” by the different companies. Specifically, I get asked what I think. I have come to recognize that it is a loaded question. In this episode, I tell you EXACTLY what I think.  The muzzle's off! I have some pretty strong opinions: They get cerebral: bringing in Rudolf Steiner's writings on color energetics.  His analysis of color he refers to as Peach Blossom in his 1921 lectures on color is relevant in this discussion of Pantone's selection of Peach Fuzz for 2024 over 100 years later! The energetics of a color matter. They get subjective: I was sailing the deep, history-laden parts of the Mediterranean when Benjamin Moore's Blue Nova and it's corresponding color palette was unveiled. They get biased: a girl's gotta have favorites! I explain the difference between a “trend”- which is a forecast with underlying significance.  And a “selection”- which is a marketing tactic designed to speak to a particular demographic. We do live in a consumer-driven society, after all. Your home should reflect your individuality, inspire you, and propel you forward.   You can understand yourself by understanding how you gravitate toward (or run from!) a color palette and unlock what's right for YOU!

Every great feat, invention, or accomplishment began with someone believing in the possibility of its existence. When you allow yourself to believe in the possibility of what you want in your life, whether its more money more joy healthier body more clarity a bigger home; the path to whatever that desire is begins to form. What would your life look like if you leaned into the possibility of all of your dreams coming true? The book that I referenced in this week's episode is The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy.

Whatever you want to change or affect in 2024 starts with identifying the stories you tell. What are you continuing to tell yourself that keeps you stuck; repeating the same patterns? On a recent trip "home", the area where I grew up, I came face-to-face with a story I hadn't recognized. It is easier to blame others than to accept your responsibility for the situation you are in. That doesn't make the actions of others okay. But it does change how you get to experience your life. This episode will help you move into 2024 with the clarity you need to get the results you desire. For more information, and to get a copy of the free Word of the Year workbook: go to

Was it necessary for who I desire to be + what I want to create? 100%!

Did you know that the molecules that your body creates when you are happy or excited are lighter + softer than the ones created when you are feeling sad or angry? In the alternative health and energetic healing world, you learn the path to feeling better is to release the heavy, dense emotions that you have stored in your body because you didn't fully experience it. We are taught from a young age to suppress our emotions; particularly the negative ones. So learning to feel our emotions can feel like an overwhelming task. What if the path to learning to move through negative emotions can be found in spending more time, CONSIDERABLY MORE TIME, in our positive emotions? When we luxuriate in positive emotions, we raise our vibration. We increase our energy level. We feel lighter (because we are!) and more capable. We can move through more challenging circumstances with less resistance. Give yourself the gift of joy by relishing the positive.

I have to admit that when I first heard of numerology, I was skeptical. It felt like one more modality assigning meaning to something arbitrary. Yet I know exactly where I am in this present moment thanks to numbers. -The time -The year -The month -The day, including the date -My location, longitude + latitude My guest interview this week demystifies the field of numerology and explains it from a practical, mom's point of view.

The 5 points: Soul Number [Challenge] Karma Number [Challenge] Destiny [Strength] Gift [Strength] Path [Challenge to Strength] reveal a lifetime (or more!) of information. Not only does this episode help you unlock powerful information that is at your fingertips, it also illustrates the strength of the bonds built within communities of a like-minded sisterhood.

Have you ever considered how many times you didn't say “yes” to what you truly wanted? Saying yes is more than not saying no.  The past few weeks my husband and I shared an incredible vacation visiting the Greek Isles and parts of Italy.  I returned with electric energy within me, feeling whole and connected, while also dealing with ongoing turmoil in my business.  Deciding what to complete first, what actions to take with this energy, gave me the opportunity to discover what I was going to SAY YES to.  I had this opportunity during the time that I was reflecting on this on the time that I was reflecting on my trip to recognize all the time that I didn't say yes to what I really wanted. You will learn:  How to tap into your inner discernment. The art of making your 'yes' a sacred commitment to your truth. How the principles of Human Design align your actions with your unique energy. Reflection on missed opportunities and the importance of aligning your choices with your desires. How to create a life that truly honors your desires, emotions, and authentic self. When you are only saying yes to the things that set you on fire, you are moving into alignment with the life that you desire to be living.  If you aren't where you wanted to be, the easiest way to bring yourself into that harmony is to fill your plate with those things that set you on fire.

Have you ever wondered if the color of your walls and the arrangement of your furniture could be the keys to unlocking your full potential? In this episode, we're going to be talking about intentionally designing our spaces. Using our physical spaces and how we think about the design of them to support our habits.  There's some things in the standard idea of design, decorating, and interior decorating, that go against our natural ability to incorporate a new habit or to change a current habit. Oftentimes we feel like we don't have enough space to do the things that we want to do and it's those excuses about the limitations that our homes have that we let creep in when we're trying to build a new set of healthy habits. Today, I want to just really tell you some of the decorating and design do's and don'ts that can really help you support yourself in these healthy habits.

You can do anything, you can bring anything into your life. Any habit, any lifestyle change, as long as you set the vision,  commit to it, and begin to take action.  For the complete show notes, head over to the episode webpage.

What do Shamanism and Energetics have to do with everyday life in a modern world? How does the ancient wisdom of shamanism and the modern practice of energy healing transform your well-being?  What if it can empower you to create a life of balance and harmony? I have found that being willing and open to embrace new thought models are the very thing that moves me into the life I desire to create for myself and my family. Our beliefs shape our physical well being. Our physical health.  We have the capacity to reprogram ourselves into a state of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Which is why I have the perfect guest this week to dive into this subject.  Sarah Beth Green is a shamanic energy healer at the Yarning Shaman who works with individuals who want to unlock and understand their own individual gifts and energy body and connect more deeply with indigenous wisdom.

How to pay attention to energetics in your home and body to tune into your intuitive feelings about your surroundings. How to support your children's health by surrounding them with natural elements and fibers. Supporting their sensitivity and relationship to their natural form.  Sarah shares with us how, traditionally, we are born with a feeling of needing to serve a purpose, without even consciously knowing it.  Those feelings can often be poured into surrounding ourselves with stuff and experiences. Feeling restlessness in your soul. Searching for the calming of your nervous system.  Bridging the realms of shamanism, energy healing, and everyday life can hold the key to the transformation that your heart has been craving. My friend, please remember that we are worthy of pure, whole health.

Who do you look to when you need direction? Or what? Do you trust the answers that you find? I believe that we each create our own reality.

What's the secret to harnessing your true potential?  If the goal is to have more of what we DO want, why do we spend so much time thinking about what we don't want? This week, we dive into the intriguing journey of uncovering your desires and navigating the energies that shape your path. From starting new projects, focusing on a new area of a house, to mediating between my clients and their family members during a new design project, I see this conversation come up often. When we're in the energy of “what I don't want is…” we're in an entirely different energetic space. A lot of people struggle with sitting in the energy of what they do want.  In this episode, you will learn: The power of identifying what you don't want and understanding your true desires. The distinct energetic shift when you focus on "what I don't want" versus "what I do want."

The societal influence of advertising and social media, and how they often perpetuate our focus on the negative. Strategies to break free from the hold of "don't want" energy and step into a higher vibrational frequency. How to recognize and detach from unwanted energy patterns. The pivotal role of conscious choices in shifting your energy and accelerating progress toward your goals. My friend, I hope that when you catch yourself in that energy of what you don't want, you can realize that it's a state of victimhood that we've put ourselves in. Allow it to be valuable insight and a reminder to move into that state of what you do want. Allow yourself to spend the rest of this magnificent day focusing on what you do want.  For the complete show notes, visit the episode webpage.

Do you struggle to let go? Are you feeling overwhelmed with clutter, to-do lists, and back to school organization? Every “how to declutter”  starts with getting rid of things that are expired, broken, don't fit, etc.  It's when we come upon those things that we once loved.  Or have happy memories attached to that prove challenging. When decisions need to be made, overwhelm can set in.   And it's easier to push it off to another day. Developing a healthy relationship with the things that you have accumulated moves from being a skill to an art when you master that delicate dance of allowing yourself to let go.   But even before you have mastered the art, you can begin to help your children recognize their attachments. I strongly believe that one of the foundational pieces to having a home that inspires you and that you truly love is being able to make decisions about your stuff. Understanding your relationship to those material possessions and creating a healthy relationship with them is a crucial step. How do we let go? What does the process of holding onto things look like? Holding onto our stuff, our possessions, derives from an evolutionary survival skill. Our innate need to hold on goes back to a basic reflex we learned at birth. In this episode, you will learn: How to categorize possessions and belongings into categories aligned with your emotions, self-beliefs, actions, and perceptions. What the Parental attachments can look like. Understanding how to let go and the evolutionary survival skill that drives our need to hold onto possessions.

How to recognize where the problem is. Identifying items and possessions you struggle to release. The process of honoring possessions with love before letting go. Why it's necessary to create space by making physical, emotional, and spiritual room for new desires. For the complete show notes, visit the episode webpage.

Do you use the words feelings and emotions interchangeably?  The difference is more than just semantics. It can explain your own reactions and the reactions of others around you and why we struggle to communicate. And feel heard. Or validated.   When I heard that an emotion is any feeling that lasts more than 6 hours, it blew my mind. And led me down the rabbit hole that became this podcast.  In this episode you will learn: Why we need to lean into this difference How emotions can be liars Where unexpected feelings come from How to distinguish between feelings and emotions How to analyze emotions to take desirable action Why validation is key What role positive emotions play in our well-being I share with you how to begin with self-awareness and learn to sit with your own feelings. You will understand how to process them, grasp their messages, and distinguish them from past events or beliefs. Understanding and mastering the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be a powerful tool to shape a fulfilling and authentic life.

Did you know that color can be used as a powerful tool to aid in physical and emotional healing? When we break down what color really is: a vibrational wavelength of light, we can connect to the science behind this concept. Our bodies process information through intricate pathways of our nervous system, translating it into chemical constructs that trigger various bodily functions. Color is no exception. In this episode, you will learn: The ways in which our bodies, as complex systems, respond to everything we encounter. Why every cell can process color information, not just the photoreceptors in our eyes. What a color really is- scientifically. Where colors influence us even when we are not consciously aware of them How to understand that vibration and frequency have measurable scientific relevance to our responses to colors. How intentionally working with colors can impact our well-being. The different ways to use colors to amplify their effects. Color is a powerful tool for emotional, physical, and spiritual alignment. By consciously using color, we can create alignment within ourselves and our lives. Experiment with color, allow yourself to play and discover its potential. Share your experiences with color in our Community page, and let's explore the amazing world of color vibrations together.  For the complete show notes, visit the episode webpage.

In this episode, I share with you my personal journey of tapping into my own soul-led gifts and vision: the process of becoming “The Design Shaman.” Last year, I began to experience an extraordinary call to connect to nature on a deeper level.  As I did, I began to see parallels between the messages that we learn from our Earth Mother and intuitive practices that I use in helping clients achieve their dream spaces. This journey went far beyond a rebranding of my business and offerings. It was transformational on every level of my being: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual In this episode you will learn: Where it came from. What the word “Shaman” really means. How it applies to creating homes, lives, and spaces we dream into being How the design process can be healing on every level  Where we can go from here  How you can begin to shift your perspective and see your dreams come to life by using these ancient principles For complete show notes: Episode webpage

To kick off Season 4 of the In Her Eyes podcast, we begin the journey of self-discovery and the process of tapping into the power of our TRUE SELVES. I have the PERFECT person to bring that conversation to you this week. Ironically, much of our conversation revolves around the beauty of IMPERFECTION, and the lessons that it teaches us about BEAUTY, HARMONY, and the activation of SELF-LOVE. In this episode, Ebonie takes us on a beautiful journey from the awkward little girl who didn't fit in to a woman who lives each day in JOY as a full expression of herself.   She shares with us how each level of deeper understanding of herself, her passions, and the world around led her to the creation of a home that supports her. Ebonie describes her own space as one woven together through form and function to meet all of her needs, beautifully.  Her intentionality of each space is an inspiring lesson that we can all use to take action on our own spaces. She describes, in detail, the daily ritual she uses to activate her Magical Essence.  The power and alignment it brings her. And we discuss how sharing it with the young girls in our lives empowers them to express their own authenticity. And so much more! For the complete show notes: Episode webpage

Stepmothers get a really bad rap. And Disney does no favors to us stepmoms! Emotions are hard to navigate on their own.  But when you introduce the dynamics of the role you play in someone else's life, you're sailing through uncharted seas with numerous variables. This week I am sharing with you an extraordinary conversation that I had with a remarkable woman who supports high-achieving women in their roles as step-mothers.  Liz Kelly is  a stepmom of nearly ten years to two teenage (bonus) boys and mom to two toddler boys. She and her husband are raising these four incredible souls on our homestead near Princeton, New Jersey. Five years ago, she became steeped learning how the brain processes emotion. Now as a neuro-emotional coach, she works with high-achieving women – especially stepmoms – providing emotional safety and the tools and language to understand how their emotions work. Through this work, women are changing how they show up for themselves and their families. Liz comes from a 20-year career in writing and public relations to make her the perfect person to do this work in the world.. When you have found success in various areas of your life, it is hard to admit to struggling in such a vital and central area of your life. Liz shares with us the reasons that she started working with stepmoms and how her research in neuro-emotions and self-regulation have become a refreshing, if not REVOLUTIONARY, way of looking at step-parenting. This conversation is eye-opening if you play a central role in the raising of ANY children.   Liz helps us design the life that we want as a stepmom by: Explaining the role negative stereotypes play. The common challenges that stepmoms face Understanding the true foundational needs of each family member Knowing the 3 Brain states Interpreting the brain states to appropriately respond to a situation or circumstance and provide the support needed Changing the energy dynamics of our bonus children's experience of the home The role self-regulation plays in the ability to be the person you desire to be in your role as a step-mom Throughout this conversation we discuss the ways that we can create emotionally-nourishing and supportive environments to help our kids, our spouse, and ourselves thrive in the blended-family dynamic. I have to admit that I held a great deal of angst going into this conversation.  In truth, it is not something that I feel like I have done well to date.   But in this beautiful and heart-felt conversation, Liz opened my eyes to a different way to approach so many of the challenges that I have encountered. And, mostly, that I am not alone in my struggles. For the complete shownotes: episode webpage Instagram @lizpkelly

One of the easiest ways to enrich your overall health and well-being is to incorporate herbs into your daily life. But there is so much information out there, it is hard to know where to begin. And most of us have been raised to be wary of things that grow on their own. In the Western Hemisphere, we have come to see “health” as an ongoing battle. We are constantly trying to fix things that are broken or out of whack. Incorporating herbs into your everyday life creates a natural balance where your body is better able to respond to its surroundings with ease. That's why I am so excited to share with you the conversation that I had with a Master Herbalist! My guest on this week's episode, Heidi Benard, came to herbalism in the most pure way possible: wanting a healthier existence for her daughter than she had as a child. Heidi has been creating organic herbal products professionally for over a decade and she started My Herbal Apothecary in 2019. Her continued curiosity encourages her to extend her education and exploration every year. Heidi enjoys distilling this information into fun, easy-to-access plant-based products for your home medicine cabinet. Our bodies are designed to process things in their most natural state, not the extracted and synthesized way we get most of our nutrients. In this conversation, we discuss the simplest ways to get more goodness into our bodies. Whether you are new the herbalism or have a cupboard full of tinctures and tisanes, you will love this conversation on the simplicity of introducing herbs into your life.

If you are looking to expand your journaling practice, feel stuck, or have yet to develop one; this episode is for you. I find journaling to be the greatest gift I give to myself. The ULTIMATE SELF-CARE. Gems of wisdom, symbols, poetry, understanding, clarity, and guidance all appear in the private pages of my musing. There is a reason the Julia Cameron's brilliant book, The Artist's Way, relies so heavily on the practice of journaling (or what she refers to as “the morning pages.”) In this episode I guide you through the process of finding your journaling sweet spot. I also share with you a bit of the poetry that appeared in my journal. In the page that I opened to, to share from, was one whereI was up in the middle of the night writing outside under a full moon. NOT something that happens often. But one where I am eternally grateful for the moment, and the words that came through. Whether you are a journaling novice, or an old pro like me, you will find a path to a deeper level of creativity in this episode.

Meditation has been shown to have cardiovascular and neurological benefits. But it can also expand your own creativity. It seems that I run into a lot of people who say that they can't meditate. Or they aren't very good at it. (Their words not mine.) Recently, my step-daughter asked me about starting a meditation practice. It got me thinking about where I started, how my practice has evolved over the years. Because we are talking about creativity this month, I had originally planned to create a meditation for listeners addressed to creativity. But then I realized that I had so much to offer to those that find it difficult to meditate. So instead, I decided to create a podcast dedicated to beginning or helping you expand your practice. In this episode you will learn: The difference between meditation and a meditative state. What meditation has to do with creativity Meditation positions Sound aides Incense and essential oils to use And meditation resources (both free and great value)

Whether you are trying to achieve a goal, form a healthy habit, create art or build a business that will rock the world you need space. Defining the physical space will allow you to create the mental space. It will also help you evaluate the things that come up on the other side of “trying.” In this episode, I walk you through the steps to finding and defining the physical space. Even if (especially if!)you think you don't have it. And then I help you come face to face with the RESISTANCE that appears once you move toward the action taking place within your space. I walk you through the 4 questions that you need to ask yourself to make magic happen in your life.

If you have ever wondered why you may struggle to pick wall colors or hang art in your home, this podcast is for you. In this episode, my guest is a fellow artist and color obsessed momma. Visual artist, colorist, writer Barbara Mayfield was born and raised in Philadelphia, studied at the Tyler School of Art and is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She works in oil and acrylic on canvas, panel and paper, as well as assemblage. Her luminous imagery celebrates the natural world and our place in it. She authored and illustrated The Magical Mrs. Iptweet and Me, an award-winning novel for the grade-school set about the joys and power of creative play and community. She was one of four artists on the first mural arts team at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Community Programs Department who brought contemporary mural art to Philadelphia. In 1991, Mayfield moved to northern New Mexico where she studied monotype printmaking at the Santa Fe Art Institute. Her work has been represented by galleries in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Stamford, Connecticut, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her artworks are part of public and private collections across the country. She began her career in color consulting in 2015 with the Benjamin Moore Paint Co. Now an independent color consultant, Mayfield serves residential and commercial clients who seek an artist's eye and color expertise and sensibility when choosing paint colors in the greater Philadelphia area. Barbara shares with us how art is an integral part of her whole life. She was raised by an artist and despite being encouraged to pursue more lucrative careers, she never really found another hat that fit. In the episode, Barbara reads an excerpt from her book: The Magical Ms. Iptweet and Me. She tells the fascinating story of how the book came to be. She reinforced my belief that allowing yourself to dream (and keeping a pencil and paper by your bed) has real world implications! We talked extensively about the power and importance of choosing and hanging artwork at home. How and where to find local artists. How to communicate with them (they are mostly introverts, so this is important!) Wall colors that work best with art. The importance of positioning. The healing powers of a color aligned home. Why you SHOULDN'T test out a wall color by painting a sample on the wall. And so much more! To see Barbara's extraordinary art and experience her hilariously, informative “Artists in Cars” drive-bys that explain exterior paint color choices, head over to the episode webpage: Episode 78

Do you wish you had more energy to bring to your day? How about joy? Do you feel like juggling ALL THE THINGS lives little time for YOU in your life? If so, you will LOVE this episode! On this week's podcast, I share a conversation that I had with the host of the Cheers, Mama podcast, Katie Dragos. We break down the important things you need to know about living life more fully while being everything for everyone. Katie is a mindset and personal growth coach, and a full-time working mama and wife, who is committed to celebrating the everyday and sharing the honest truths of working mom life. With over 17 years of marketing, event planning and community service work, she has combined her loves of creativity, cultivating connections and helping others with a one-on-one coaching and community-based program for working moms and caregivers called “Unleash Your Awesome”. Katie is passionate about helping other multi-passionate mamas re-find themselves and reclaim their energy in order to find more JOY in the day-to-day of life. Filled with both practical tips and mindset shifts, this episode covers so many of the things that we face when trying to balance all of our responsibilities. We look at The generational change in parenting. The role that people pleasing plays in our actions and how we feel about ourselves. The ways to trust ourselves in the decisions that we make. The role community plays in our ability to process and re-discover ourselves. The moments that MATTER. The art of reclaiming your energy at any season of life. And the practical actions that foster more time and joy everyday. To learn more, head over to the full show notes: Episode 77 Webpage

Could our seasonal allergies be exacerbated by our current physical and emotional state? I believe they are. As a kid, I didn't hear about seasonal allergies very often. In fact, when I announced to my family that I had a “debilitating allergy to dust” to avoid spring cleaning, I thought I was pretty unique.  I wore that badge proudly for years. As I have continued to rid my house of artificial fragrances and other toxins, I find that I almost never experience anything that you would put the “allergy” label on.  And my immune system seems capable of combating other more dangerous invaders as well. The perfect balance. If we look at the emotional states that can amplify allergic reactions and how to take action from a more systemic approach, we see a fascinating correlation. In this episode, I help you find the solutions to take charge of your immune system so that it doesn't overreact when exposed to all the precious responses our plant friends are producing in the days and weeks ahead. When we think of our body as a castle, and our immune system as the knights who are protecting the castle, we can start to see how we can approach allergy season with a sense of control rather than helplessness.   We look at  The science behind an allergic response. The properties of the cells that respond. The ways to stabilize our defense system Natural remedies An affirmation Colors (yes, colors!) to work with to mitigate overactive sinuses And the Chakra involved For the complete show notes, visit the episode webpage.

All month long we are tackling thoughts and ideas that come up in the process of this proverbial season of Spring Cleaning. In this episode, we are taking inventory. But it is an inventory with intention. What's not working? What isn't aligned with where you WANT to be? What's tucked away out of sight? What do you have that you aren't using? Stepping outside of that route energy of “I should” will guide you toward your path to upgrading whatever space (physical or mental) that you are working on. When we let our hearts guide our actions, we automatically upgrade whatever we are working on. Tune in to discover how the simple act of “cleaning” can lead to an energetic upgrade that can ultimately transform your life. For the full show notes, head to: Episode 75 Webpage

Dr. Wayne Dyer famously defined the EGO as Edging God Out. I don't know about you but I remember growing up hearing the phrase “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” more times than I can count. Yet when it comes to cleaning, we often approach it from an ego-centric perspective. It's more about the facade of clean. It's more about what things look like. (Or smell like!) But in reality, “clean” doesn't have a smell. The multi-billion dollar cleaning industry would have you believe otherwise. They also want you to think that every surface AND kind of dirt requires a different product to do the job “right.” In this episode, I discuss the trade-offs we make to create the facade. Our health. Our children's health. The extra space in our cabinets we use to house all the things we supposedly need. The environmental impact. And so on. This episode is designed to help you evaluate those spring cleaning urges as they arrive; where they come from; and how to take action from your authentic self. And what is most directly aligned with the vision that you have for yourself and your family. We often think of clutter as mess. But when we take a hard look at how and why we do the things we do, or feel like we should do, we can start to see even the things that we use to clean and organize as a source of our distress.

Each week I offer an essential oil recommendation to align with the topic of the In Her Eyes podcast episode. Most times, I forget to mention it. But you can always find it on the episode webpage. Peppermint is one of the most ubiquitous essential oils. Because of its chemical properties, it aligns perfectly with the concept of taking action on those things which support your biggest dreams: i.e. “what's important.” It can be used topically, diffused, sniffed out of the bottle, or ingested.**** But only if it comes from a pure, lab-tested source! It assists with all of the following physical challenges: ALERTNESS & ENERGY FEVERS & HOT FLASHES BURNS & SUNBURN MEMORY ISSUES & AUTISM CRAVINGS MUSCLE STIFFNESS & TENSION ALLERGIES & HIVES HEADACHES & MIGRAINES BAD BREATH & HANGOVER ASTHMA & SINUSITIS DECREASE MILK SUPPLY LOSS OF SENSE OF SMELL GASTRITIS & BELLY ACHES On an emotional level it moves you from a state of HINDERED —> INVIGORATED In this short bonus episode, I share with you the power of peppermint to make that emotional shift!

Do you know what you really want? Our body is brilliant at giving us the clues we need to discover both what we want and what we need. But society and social conditioning teaches us to override that information. And we become consumers instead of creators. In this episode, I give you 2 important questions to ask yourself when you are faced with a decision. They are transformational. And will help you align what you really want with what is showing up in your life. You can apply this process of analysis to anything, no matter how big (i.e.expensive) or mundane and simple. We are good at finding excuses that keep us from going after our biggest dreams. Until we take a step back and evaluate our actions, we continue to resist the flow that we could step into if we just let ourselves. Is this an episode about DESIGN? You betcha! Is this an episode about SELF-ACCEPTANCE? It sure is! Is this an episode about EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENT? Yep! That too! This episode will help you see the power that you have to get what you want and evaluate the true cost of not pursuing it NOW! For the complete show notes, go to: episode webpage

You are LIGHT, my love. A magical array of colors that those around you experience without having to give words. In those moments when you are -most aligned, -most at peace, -most yourself, you shine the brightest. That sunrise that takes your breath away is also you. In this episode, I discuss the energy of the light and color that we project; known as our aura. And why it is important to understand. How it is a piece of who we are. Understanding ourselves is the surest path to creating surroundings that delight and inspire us. I share with you the rare occasions I have seen the auras of others. And why the circumstances that the people I observed were in, and the state of mind I was in, allowed me to experience their unique energetic projection. I share with you what the color differences mean. We have all experienced the energy of others whether or not we have seen it. As an empath, I actively strengthen my aura each morning through an energetic alignment practice. I know that it feels good. That's the reason I do it. But when I saw a printout of how potent my aura was, it reaffirmed my intuitive nudges and self-care practices. It also reminded me how important it is to talk about these things that aren't part of our Western ideas of physical and mental wellbeing.

In the English language, the word DREAM has a number of meanings, both as a noun and a verb. What if there is a strong correlation between our dreams in our waking hours and our dreams in our sleep? What if there was a process to streamline the communication between our subconscious and conscious minds so as to bring dreams into reality? What if our dreams, both waking and sleeping, are actually clues? The digestible metaphors for what we most desire? Or struggle with? In this episode I lead you through the correlation between all the meanings of the word dream as we know it and give you practical tools for the integration of your sleeping dreams into your waking self and vice versa. And why learning this (and teaching it to our little people) is a powerful activation on the path to our understanding of our emotions, our struggles, and our greatest desires.

I am not a traditional roses and heart-shaped chocolate box kind of gal. They lack creativity and inspiration in my book. And the law of supply and demand makes them ridiculously overpriced. I would rather receive a bouquet of roses on a random day in mid-August. This episode is chock full of ways that you can expand your creativity on the theme of Valentine's Day. From 60's style “door curtains” that highlight the unique magic of each family member. To seeing that self-care can be as simple and as powerful as love letters to ourselves (and the ways to remind ourselves of that love). Recording those early words of self-love and family love from the mouths of our babes can serve them for years to come. And be straight-up hilarious! There are fun things to do with food that are simple and inexpensive yet extraordinary. And may even expand your child's adventure level with food, leading to a more nutrient rich palette. There are easy art projects to integrate into your design to build confidence as well as art techniques that provide stress relief and focus no matter what you think of yourself as an artist. The most important thing to remember when putting on your creative hat this Valentine's Day is to have fun. Love can be fun if we let it!

Hearts abound this time of year. They are everywhere you look. I don't know about you but I often find it hard to fully love and appreciate myself exactly where I am, right now. My thoughts quickly drift to self-improvement, home improvement, the what-ifs, and I coulds. Or they float to the past. The things I can pat myself on the back for. The things I wish I had handled differently. The shape I was in. Depending on my mood, I can sit in accomplishments Or defeats. In this episode, I share with you how I shift into the mindset of loving myself exactly where I am at, presently. Without judgment or analysis. I am not going to say it's easy. But I am finding it to be vital. For access to the discussion forum and the complete show notes, go to: episode webpage

Some people are unquestionably “plant people.” Others claim they don't have a green thumb. There are some powerful reasons that we all need to have more plants in our lives. Even though it has been unseasonably warm here in Pennsylvania, the same “wintry issues” are cropping up. Dry air. Dry skin. The winter coughs and colds. Lethargy. Depression. Having more plants in your home helps with ALL of these things. In this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast, I take you through 8 reasons why you NEED plants in your home. When I started doing the research for this episode, I knew some of these. I was shocked to find how complete the science was behind the initial 5 reasons that I had outlined. But some of the other reasons were VERY exciting to discover! And if you think you have tried adding plants to your home before and you just don't have a green thumb, you definitely want to listen in. Not only do I give you tips on becoming a better plant mom (I had to learn through trial and error), I share with you the mental and physical costs of not flexing your green thumb. There are some important questions to ask yourself if you think you can't keep houseplants alive. And some potent reasons you should!

Have you ever found something that you had lost years ago when cleaning up an unexpected mess? What if this happens emotionally as well? What happens if you analyze where you are without judgment? Without blame? Without excuses? What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be and the chaos provides the answers to the questions you have been asking the Universe? In this week's episode, we unpack the power of disarray. We ask HARD questions when things we don't like show up. And are brave when the answers come.

What is intuition? Is there a way to enhance it? Can we go beyond just “listening to our gut?' My answer is YES WE CAN! Intuition can be such a broad and elusive term. In order to develop it, we must first understand it in all of its forms. It shows up differently for each person. Understanding your primary intuitive strength is the first step to enhancing your intuition. The “clairs” are the sensory ways that we communicate with the unseen world. In this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast, I explain each of the “clairs.” Clairvoyance- clear-seeing Clairaudience- clear-hearing Clairsentience- clear-feeling Clairalience- clear-smelling Clairgustance- clear-tasting Claircognizance- clear-knowing I walk you through how you might already be experiencing it in everyday life including the activities that you may be drawn to or have taken on as a profession. I will also share with you the actions to take to fine-tune your innate clair. Once you learn how to identify your clair from the routine chatter that you experience in your mind, you will be able to tap into it on a deeper level. And once we start owning our strengths, we begin to normalize our gifts and access our power. For access to the discussion forum and the complete show notes, go to: episode webpage

If the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, then how do we break the cycle? It's why I have given up resolutions, and focus on the journey instead. Etched in my memory is the scene in the movie, The Jerk, with Steve Martin where he is leaving home but procrastinates by needing to grab random things to take with him; including a random kitchen chair. Whenever I am asking myself if something is truly important to keep, I wonder if it's just that chair: something I am choosing to hang on to to keep me in that holding pattern. Circling above what I really want. With it within sight but mysteriously unattainable. Once you have committed to change, you have to commit to RELEASE. To those of you who committed to “the Assignment” in episode 58. I applaud you! If you were like me and started out strong but fizzled out as things got busy, you may have realized as I did the lesson in that alone. I let go of some hard stuff: physical objects, resentments, obligations, expectations, and more. And I also slipped back into comfort patterns that weren't necessarily aligned with the desired path forward. This episode starts out differently than most. With the experience of physical release. A fun exercise to remind you how good it feels to let go. And that YOU are IN CHARGE of the process of Release. Therein lies the power! For the full shownotes, go to: episode webpage
