What is the journey like when you're adopted and begin the search for your identity beyond your adoptive family? In this heart-warming and vulnerable conversation with Julie McGue, author of Twice a Daughter: A Search for Identity, Family, and Belonging, we dive into our own personal experiences of adoption from different angles. As a twin adopted in the sixties, Julie had the challenge of finding her birth parents, and the disappointment that initially came from her attempt for contact. Our conversation leads to the importance of awareness, following your knowing, and moving through grief, excitement, and the roller coaster of emotions that come from learning where you came from. About the Guest:Julie Ryan McGue is an American writer, a domestic adoptee, and an identical twin. She explores the topics of finding out who you are, where you belong and making sense of it. She is the author of two books: Twice a Daughter: A Search for Identity, Family, and Belonging, and Belonging Matters: Conversations on Adoption, Family, and Kinship. Her third book, a prequel to Twice a Daughter, is due to be released in November 2024.Find Julie here!https://www.juliemcgueauthor.com/Facebook: https://www.juliemcgueauthor.com/Instagram: www.instagram.com/julieryanmcgueFind Belonging Matters here: https://www.amazon.com/Belonging-Matters-Conversations-Adoption-Kinship/dp/1958714801/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=1WVVUD34B5PMO&keywords=julie+ryan+mcgue&qid=1692197401&sprefix=%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-4About the Host: Tanya Gill, B.A./B.Ed, BSW, RSW, Certified Grief Practitioner, Certified Life Coach, and Joy AlchemistTanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

In this episode Heidi Dunstan and I have a candid discussion about the importance of talking about and acknowledging one another in grief. In the past few years it is hard to come across another human that has been free of experiencingloss. We are all grieving. For some it is fresh, for others it is aged, but remains – because grief is not bad – it's a testament to have loved. This episode is a gentle reminder to yourself as a griever, or as someone who is in the sphere of another in grief that it is not simply the loss that must be acknowledged, but the path of healing and hope that comes from allowing others to be seen. To truly help; honour, have empathy, love, and be present for and with another in their journey. With allowing it to be in what it is – tears, laughter, dark humor, or even silence. This episode will touch your heart for certain. About The GuestHeidi Dunstan is a Certified Grief Educator and best-selling author. Her passion to help others, learn more about grief, and how to support others who are grieving came after losing her husband unexpectedly almost three years ago. Her experience with friends and loved ones saying the wrong thing or completely disappearing gave her first-hand knowledge that many people have never learned how to grieve which often leaves grievers to grieve in isolation.Heidi Dunstan's Website - https://heididunstan.ca/About the Host: Tanya Gill, B.A./B.Ed, BSW,RSW, Certified Grief Practitioner, Certified Life Coach, and Joy AlchemistTanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

In this episode I take you on an adventure and invite you into some of the ways, as wacky as it may seem, that I bring intentionality to something that may seem quite silly. Being intentional speaks to Bashar's 5 laws: You exist; All there is – is now; All is one and one is all; what you put out you get back, and everything changes except these 4 laws.In the realm of wellness, I share a unique opportunity that is brought forth with the intention to spread love and light – to inspire hope -and to connect, even if for a moment.

Your observation of the world. Is your opportunity to shift what you are seeing. If you are looking for negative, bad, trouble or challenge - those things are a lot more likely to appear. When you're looking for possibilities, openness and opportunity, those too are more likely to appear. In this podcast I offer you a challenge I presented in our weekly SHINE group meeting. Shine is a group of people that come together to talk about mind, body, spirit, wellness, around challenges with food, body image, movement and recognizing that whole wellness is the most important part of wellness. In our SHINE group this week ew were talking about looking for acts of kindness. I invited our members to share an act of kindness that they had themselves personally observed recently. One person shared observing an act of kindness between two children. Where one just naturally reached out to help another one that was falling. Put their arm out as the child was falling, steadied them and returned to playing in a natural sequence of events. That kind of kindness, that automatic response kindness happens often. Observing it is so beautiful.Listen to learn the three steps to shifting your observation skills, and ultimately the way you see the world around you. www.freejoybook.comAbout the Host: Tanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

In a continuation of the conversation with Dr. Peter Kellett about the mask of masculinity and how it affects men's health and relationships, Peter discusses the powerful role masculine archetypes of can serve in both understanding men's behaviour and understanding how to work with men in pursuit of personal and spiritual growth. He discusses the classic four archetypes of the mature masculine including: The King, The Warrior, The Magician, and the Lover. He also articulates a potentially new overarching archetype that he uses in his work, which is based on the ancient principle of Metta. Metta is a Pali word that means benevolence and loving kindness, and Peter suggests that if a man operates from a perspective of Metta masculinity, that he will essentially engage in a mature form of all the masculine archetypes in a way that is beneficial for him, those in his life, and society as a whole.The conversation touches many topics including the tendency for immature masculinity to be portrayed in many media representations and within the system of patriarchy itself. We discuss a variety of examples including Will Smith's notorious slap at the Oscars.Dr. Kellett also discusses how men's inauthenticity in their emotional presentation related to their quest to meet expectations of masculinity in society can lead to trapped trauma energy in their body. Therefore, somatic approaches to coaching and therapy can be very helpful to assist men to not only identify their trapped emotions but also process them in the pursuit of greater health, well-being, and growth.At a time when many men are collectively confused about what it means to be a good man, Dr. Kellett suggests that exploring these archetypes of mature masculinity, including metta masculinity, can provide an ethical guide to engaging with the world. He further articulates the need for mature men to step forward as mentors to guide their sons and other boys and men through example.About the Guest:Dr. Peter Kellett's vision for Metta Man Coaching, and its community, was born out of thousands of conversations he has had with men who share similar struggles and feelings, and the recognition that many men are reluctant to talk about these topics or don't have a safe space to be vulnerable and work through these issues in their own lives.Peter is a men's coach, men's health and well-being expert, registered nurse, researcher, Reiki practitioner, lightworker, and empath who has spent much of his career studying and teaching about men's health and well-being, while concurrently navigating depression, anxiety, divorce, relationships, career changes, leadership, co-parenting, blending families, and overcoming feelings of never being enough. Peter hopes that Metta Man will provide a forum to discuss a range of issues that men face in their lives and that sharing his expertise and insights through this community and coaching will help other men navigate their own challenges more easily.Peter brings a lot of life experience to this work. While he is currently living in Alberta, Canada, he has lived in three countries (U.K., Canada, and the U.S.) and has worked as a nurse in multiple settings, as a leader in health care, and as a university professor and researcher. Most recently he has been developing his skills and practice as a transformational somatic men's coach and as a Reiki energy practitioner. He is married to his wonderful wife Tanya, and is a parent to three young men and a young woman (two from his first marriage and two step-sons from his second). He loves music of all types, movies, reading, and soaking in source energy while hiking with his Sheepadoodles Walter and Maggie, and kayaking in nature.For more on Peter and the men's work he offers:www.mettaman.comFollow Mettaman:

Men are socialized to not talk about and express their emotions from a very young age, profoundly affecting their mental health and well-being and impacting their relationships. Dr. Peter Kellett, invites us to think about the impact of this “mask of masculinity” in this episode. Are we teaching young boys and men to wear the mask of masculinity? The trauma that results from masking their authentic selves can make it hard for many men to express their feelings and as a result many men struggle to put words to their feelings, a condition called Alexithymia. However, anger, aggression and lust are often viewed as being more acceptable than being vulnerable so Dr. Kellett says that men often turn to expressing these emotions when experiencing emotional distress, such as depression. While we must take personal responsibility for our own emotions in relationship, many men turn to doing things rather than exploring their feelings or talking about them with their partners. Dr. Kellett gives insight into why men want to “fix” things rather than simply listen, and how they may have a fear of rejection or being shamed when they share emotion. The internalized messages of what it means to be a man that have beeninformed by misogyny and patriarchy for generations are not only harmful for women, but also inconsistent with mature masculinity and men's well-being Rather than being able to express or embody vulnerability, some men turn to protest masculinities which may include verbal sparring with other men, affairs, pornography addiction, and even substance abuse. Men may also use humour to mask pain or their fear of expressing emotion because laughing and making light of things is viewed as being more socially acceptable than being vulnerable. As society continues to engage in conversations to about the socialization of men we talk about the power of authenticity, the benefits of integrating both the sacred masculine and divine feminine in our lives, and the role that engaging in metta masculine practice can play in removing the inauthentic mask of masculinity in the modern world. Stay tuned for a future episode where Dr. Kellett and I discuss male archetypes and how they show up in the lives of men today.

Barbie's hot new return may have brought a shortage of pink paint, but there's also a rising sense of nostalgia and recognition of her evolution through the years.Why is Barbie The Movie and all things Barbie making such a powerful comeback?Nostalgia.Barbie brings back memories of a simpler time for many of us. Hours of playing pretend, not as a mother to baby dolls, but inviting us to pretend we were adults doing adult things with our adult friends. A different kind of imagination. Barbie was an independent woman. Since her debut in March of 1959 Barbie has brought both positive and negative reactions through the years. She's been a hot topic between mothers, within the feminist movement, and in childcare settings.My mission with Perfectly Imperfect is to help other see the light in themselves. This means embracing body positivity and supporting women to love the light within themselves over the desire to be light by way of the scale. In a world that has changed so much Barbie's introduction, her long-standing success and influence is fascinating. Any way you look at it, Barbie is a powerhouse. Yes, Mattel is the marketing powerhouse, but BARBIE is the complex icon that has provided hours of play to many children, hours of sewing to many mothers, and many conversations about her messages and impact. She has evolved with the times and will likely continue to. For many of us Barbie will always have a special place in our hearts. Whether you're a Barbie lover or loather, she's here to stay.Are you a Barbie girl? What significance, if any, has Barbie had in your life? Perhaps revisit some memories or consider what messages you think she sends. Barbie is everywhere right now, so rather than running from it, let her be a beacon for your own reflection and spark conversation.About the Host: Tanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

We are excited to bring you this encore presentation of one of our most popular episodes. We hope you enjoy!Feeling sexy an any size is a struggle for many, and yet body positivity has created an environment where “Victoria's Secret” no longer dictates sexiness. In this episode I am joined by Joani, a SHINE member, who shares her experiences around sexiness, confidence, comfort, and joy as she navigates the realities of life as it happens. She shares that SHINE was a program that changed her intentionality, presence, and awareness with some real-life change and challenges. Joani also describes her experience of the SHINE community as a re-set, accountability, and special place for connection and support. In the the end, she shares that SHINE isn't really about weight loss because “the best weight you'll ever lose is between your ears.”We also talk about:- Wearing what you want for YOU vs. another- Size/health/fitness myths- Accountability- Motivation versus momentum- The importance of “feeling” goals- Navigating the inner critic in various parts of life- Spreading love and light through acknowledging othersAbout the Guest:Joani is spectacular soul! As a married mother of two, working multiple jobs and in the beginning stages of building a business, she struggled to make time for herself, and part of that has included a battle with weight most of her life. She proudly owns her days, lives with intention, and is grateful that SHINE came into her life when it did. When asked what the best part of 2022 was, she said, “Finding SHINE. It changed my life.”To join the program or learn more: www.perfectlyimperfect.wtf/shineTalk to Tanya about SHINE tanya@perfectlyimperfect.wtfLove yourself BRIGHT!Xo TanyaAbout the Host: Tanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

As part of the self-love summer series, I share my beloved Karen Westwood (Mia) with you. In The The Trifecta of Joy book, I share about the creation of my high counsel, Karen is a cherished soul sister of this group, and her wisdom is a gift I am so grateful to share with you! In this episode we talk – like we do as friends – about where we are in life, navigating change, priorities, parenting, children's health and wellbeing at any age, and the lessons and gifts along the way. In the process of life, we share our connection through grief and loss, and wanting to find healing for ourselves and others. The power of friendship and guidance from one another can help us find our centre, we need one another to hold one another up, encourage, and hold safe space for one another. This journey of life is difficult enough and this conversation is a reminder of having reflective experience in friendship. We share the way we are led by intuition, trust, and surrender by also trusting the process of life unfolding. Being who you want to be in the world and trusting the uncertainty of the outcome of our paths, the blooming peony is explored as a metaphor for life because I've been obsessing over the process of waiting for the bloom. Nature teaches us that the journey, environment, support and patience are key in life – and that we must realize that the outcome will come. Recognizing the tiny decisions you make along the way allow you to choose who you want to be in the world. This heart filled, playful, peaceful, and loving conversation is an honour to share with you. May this beautiful conversation be one of inspiration and nourish your heart. About the Guest:“Soul sister Karen is my spirit sister. She connects into my soul where peace is always found. Emblazoned on the beam over their dining room table are the words “Peace At Home”. Karen is home. She and I have created a magical space where energy is held with a depth of understanding unsaid. She is a creative inspirer, and passionate about the power of relationships between mothers and daughters. She is beauty defined in mind, body, and spirit because her energy is magical! This friendship is of a deeply spiritual level.

Pets are a beautiful piece of raising our vibration! We often give them personalities, voices, and so much more, and they bring us JOY in a unique way! In this conversation with the creators of the app PETZBE, Andrea Nerep and Chelsea Rose we explore how our pets bring peace, joy, creativity, and a different understanding of the world. In an effort to create “the cutest community on the planet”, PETZBE is a neutral space to showcase the world through our pet's perceptions. When Andrea Nerep realized how common it is for pet parents to make up voices for their pets - a common psychological phenomenon called anthropomorphism that makes us more empathetic and connected, she began the mission of creating a space where there are “no humans allowed”. The bond we develop with our pets creates a connection many humans share, and this is another way to connect and foster empathy. Chelsea Rose Riggs combines her love for photography and love of animals to create a unique pathway for pets and owners to connect in a safe, creative, and simply FUN way! This conversation will have you thinking about your relationship with your pet differently! In this episode we also discuss:- Pandemic pets- The therapeutic role of pets- Pets and depression- Safer social media- Fostering inclusivity in neutral ground online- Presence as a practice with pets- Mental health, empathy, compassion, connection- entertainment and fun! About the Guest:Realizing that society is obsessed with social media and pets, PETZBE creator, Swedish-born and now New York based Andrea Nerep and her dog, Angus (a Brussels Griffon) partnered with Los Angeles based Chelsea Rose Riggs to create what they believe is “The cutest community on the planet.” PETZBE is simple to use and easily downloadable on most smart phones when you find it in your smart phone app icon. (Note: Some versions of Android may have trouble downloading the app.) Designed using current state-of-the-art technology, this social media platform, although contributed to by humans, only allows pets to participate. With a soft-launch and ample time to test the PETZBE technology in 2018, PETZBE now has over to 800,000 furry, feathered, scaled, slithery and other diverse and loveable community members. Just like human social media sites, each PETZBE member page showcases and highlights the life of your individual pet. You can connect with others while featuring your pet's photos, videos, feelings, and thoughts (that you create for them). If you like another member's content, give it a “Lick” (Like) or click on their “Sniff” (Follow) and voila, you are now “Sniffing” (Following) them.About the Host: Tanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!

What if trapped emotions are getting in the way of what you truly desire in life? In this episode I host Michael Losier, best-selling author of Law of Attraction. Today's subject is the power of vibration and how old negative emotions can hold us back from what we truly desire in life. Positive emotions = Positive vibes and Negative emotions = Negative vibesMichael uses a modality called Emotion Code Clearing to help clients move beyond their trapped and sometimes unknown emotions that have been holding them back, so they can continue to attract more of what they want in life! These emotions may be causing physical pain, mental and mindset challenges and negative triggers, and he finds them and clears them!In this episode Michael demonstrates emotion code clearing as my proxy, and deletes a couple of emotions he pin-points as a challenge standing in my way. This is an incredible demonstration of his ability to identify and release old negative emotions on his client's behalf, even when they are unaware of what is holding them back. He's goooooood!

Fear is future thinking brought to the present, but how do we get present? I acknowledge my own slip back into perfectionism and self-judgement, and the toll it has taken. There is a time and place for medical assistance, slowing down, and acknowledging that one step at a time counts. I share my own fears in what's been happening with the intention to empower YOU in your own journey. We are getting real about how you can take your fears and notice how far you've come.

Do you ever meet the most interesting people in your Uber? In this podcast episode, I share an incredible woman with a message of finding joy in darkness and rising above. As a guest in her car, with the beauty of holding space, Gloria's story was both chilling and inspiring. I wanted her to share her story with you, and she was thrilled to, with a desire to inspire others! Gloria shares her story of childhood immigration, shifts in familial systems, abuse, poverty, and how she was determined to not be stuck in the world she was raised, but to strive for more. She shares her epiphany that her current pregnancy with a daughter is her opportunity to create a legacy of love as a parent, and what has led her to now. Once fearful that she didn't have the skills from her own mother to raise a female child, she has changed that narrative to an opportunity to give her baby the love she did not get from her own mother. We also discuss:- the impact of your environment-recognizing your trauma – abuse and manipulation-intentional change-miscarriage, loss, and hope-hurt people hurt people- healing from your hurt-the parental desire to love and protect-the legacy of self-love-following faith and intuition- support systems that can make a difference- the power of one caring adult-community, connection, and prideAbout the Guest:Gloria Sarpong is a licensed nurse, student, song writer, singer, and soon-to-be mother who has overcome incredible obstacles in her life.

What does legacy mean to you? Often we think it is about the choices we make when we have lost, are grieving, or after the death of a loved one. These are definitely elements of legacy and so are the choices we make today. How you show up in the world for yourself and others are creating legacy. Your awareness of your own life, how you live, and the choices you make aligned with your authentic truth create legacy in the moment.I talk about my own experiences with Legacy in my life and get honest about the feelings, opportunities, and awareness that comes with legacy as we live our lives now.

In this epic conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington, we discuss her latest book Feeling Seen, and the tour she is in the midst of while living out her mission for people to find reconnection in a hurting world. Dr. Jody spreads a message of hope and the importance of feeling seen, reminding us that so much of what we need is already done. We discuss how to get back to connection through reconnection with self – using our intuition, and intention as a conduit to reconnecting within community, with our partners and families, and even total strangers. Remembering the impact that a small kindness can have may never been known for how far reaching it's effect may be. In a world that is tied to the belief we need to do more, where we are inundated with social media and the news, it can feel demoralizing, demotivating, and a sense of futility can set in. Our conversation inspires you to connect with yourself and then get out there and reconnect with others! Dr. Carrington reinforces that we have the great ability to leave an amazing legacy, but “you can't tell people how to be great, you have to get out there and show them.” This is the power of doing a little thing each day, as James Clear identifies in Atomic Habits. We call them 1% changes, and talk about the danger of doing nothing. We also talk about: - We are one generation into being distruptors to traditional roles because it cannot be balanced as we re-write the rules for women in this generation and the generations in the future. - Achieving balance is bullshit. - The place of privilege that so many women come from, and the ability to build legacy moving forward. - Overcoming incredible obstacles in life and the simplicity of acknowledgement as human beings - The power of looking at one another for even 4 minutes – holding space, vulnerability and the dance of big emotions – the dance of anger, the dance of intimacy (Harriet G. Lerner, Ph.D) - The impact of trauma history, and beliefs that the world isn't a safe place - Emotional regulation being connecting to self, the seed of self and the soul. - Getting through the armour in human relationships - Context is a prerequisite for empathy, leading with kindness and holding space when were are being pushed away - Identifying privilege as a conscious effort given the history of your community or country, and the importance of seeing those that may feel “less seen” – and the process of unlearning and seeking those that those that can teach us more. - The impact of the conversations we can have with our children, and every conversation counts – the generations forward having more openness and opportunity to be more authentically themselves.Dr. Jody Carrington's message is clear: Our job is simply to walk one another home. Somedays we are the walkers, some day we are the walkees, sometimes we're both. About the Guest:Dr. Jody Carrington is a renowned psychologist sought after for her expertise, energy and approach to helping people solve their most complex human-centred challenges. Jody focuses much of her work around reconnection – the key to healthy relationships and productive teams. As a bestselling author, speaker, and leader of Carrington & Company, Jody uses humour, and all she has learned in her twenty-year career as a psychologist to empower everyone she connects with. In her latest book, Feeling Seen, she dives into what it takes to reconnect a disconnected world.Jody's message is as simple as it is complex: we are wired to do the hard things, but we were never meant to do any of this alone.

What is the value of listening? In this candid conversation with Deb Porter, Founder of HOLD- Hearing Out Life Drama – we explore the value of having a place to just share what is on our minds. When under stress, pressure, or in times of uncertainty, the desire to “just talk it out” can be present, but loved ones may not be the place.

With a professional history in Pastoral Care and funeral directing, Deb uses her skills to help people be heard in their life experiences as a way to release pressure, and gain insight. We also touch on:what it means to be a good listenerthe “Mr. Rogers” effectthe difference between a confidential listening service and therapeutic interventionthe power of HELP from the heartAbout the Guest: Deb Porter is on a mission to "Mr. Rogers" the world through teaching & practicing confidential, compassionate listening.

Waiting can be a source of anxiety for some, and a space of peace for others. On a recent trip to Dallas, I met two new friends who are legally blind. While they use all of their abilities to navigate life, they intuitively also know when to wait, and when to proceed. This prompted me to consider the ways that the typically-abled may experience waiting, and the power of intuition. In this episode you're invited into considering the value of tapping into your intuition when confronted with the experience of waiting. I share three ways to tap into your intuition and harness the power of your own deep knowing to move forward. I also invite you to consider:· the power of mindfulness· practicing presence· distinguishing between inner critic and intuition· waiting as an opportunity for growth· values and priorities· noticing negative self-talk· making better decisions· seeking help in the processIf you're ready for some help in your process of waiting, be sure to book a complimentary spark session and let's find the best path forward for you!

https://www.perfectlyimperfect.wtf/shineBody image and weight loss seem to be in the forefront of so many women's minds. I recently received a message from a follower querying my messaging about body image and weight loss, noticing that I had personally changed my body. I had to respond because I never want women to think they need a DIET to live. In this episode I get real about ME and my passion for women loving themselves right where they are. Living in the NOW rather than waiting for a specific size or weight to love yourself. Diet culture builds a distrust with our personal beings. What started as a weight loss journey for me became a transformation to deep trust and self-love. If it worked for me, I knew it had to work for others. For the past two years I have been working with women around this issue in individual and group coaching. Their transformation, enthusiasm, and connection made me realize that MORE WOMEN NEED THIS! SHINE! Love yourself, Light was born!

Feeling sexy an any size is a struggle for many, and yet body positivity has created an environment where “Victoria's Secret” no longer dictates sexiness. In this episode I am joined b Joani, a SHINE member, who shares her experiences around sexiness, confidence, comfort, and joy as she navigates the realities of life as it happens.

This is the true story of Amanda who, through no fault of her own, found herself caught up by the darkest most insidious corners of the criminal world of sex trafficking minors. Her husband, the man she loved and the father of her children, was a criminal.

Weight loss and body image are common struggles for many, and I can relate. I spent most of my life in a never-ending battle with myself and believing my worth was tied to those very things. I learned that making change from a place of love versus resistance is a game-changer! More importantly, however, I've learned and am passionate about sharing the importance of the relationship with yourself! Feeling comfort in your own skin is part of it and being in a place of peace and content in your whole self is the starting point. In this episode I talk about:· Struggles and panic over food, movement, and getting through the days in a diet mentality· Tools to bring awareness to your mind, body and spirit· Dealing with food triggers, emotional triggers, without a diet mentality· Ending restriction, deprivation, and white-knuckling· Building a healthy or non-existent relationship with the scale· Making peace with your body right now· Change as a conscious decision, doing so with love and 1% changes that add upThe most important question is: How you want to feel?

Are the holidays emotionally charged for you? In this episode we talk about the feelings that come from holidays. Stress, busyness, doing, and moving through the holidays can take us away from what matters most. Bringing awareness to yourself during this time is a gift you can give yourself so you can enJOY this time for what it is. We often strive for perfection in all things: decorations, food, events, gifts, etc. and this gives way to the power of our inner critics. WE talk about how to move past those limitations. The beauty of the holidays is that it often also means sharing, caring, and giving, and this can be a vibe raiser as well! We talk about the power of giving and gratitude as well!

Making choices aligned with your values is important. When I was writing The Trifecta of Joy, HELP yourself in a world of change, I felt honoured to be in a place where I could give back to an organization I care about.

They focus on the safety and needs of youth that find themselves in challenging times. For that reason 2% of all sales of my book go to the shelter. To ensure that this safe space continues to be the support kids need.In a beautiful conversation with Shauna Cohen, Program Director of Wood's Homes Lethbridge, we talk about the importance, impact, and share real stories about kids that have used the services of Wood's Homes, including the youth shelter, and how it has impacted their lives.

Creating a life with purpose, intention, and clarity starts with where you are right now. We often notice that there are many analogies in life that we can use to construct meaning and purpose in our lives. Nature, Lego, Computer operating systems, even tissue! There are concrete examples in our lives that show is a different way to consider what is, and where we want to go. In this conversation with Mindset Engineer and Life Coach, Molly Brown, we talk about how we move through life mostly on auto-pilot, tethered to our habits, and then when things go differently from how we expected, we often get stuck or become obsessed with the things that go wrong. Molly reminds us that we can revisit the code and consider what went wrong. With a career history in aerospace technology, Molly reminds us that we are able to construct what we want out of life when we:Review what is working and what isn't in our livesConsider the direction of our desiresAccess support to create the visionBreak down the components to move forwardCreate more of what we wantAccept and take ownership in our own livesThis conversation is certain to inspire! Hugs, Hip Bumps, and Engineer Your Juicy Life!Tanya xoAbout the Guest: Hi, I'm Molly. Just like you, I used to be a young child. I took apart everything I could and built my own machines from erector sets and Legos and eventually grew up to be an engineer. On my way there, I spent four years in the Army as an intelligence analyst to serve my country. The combination of experience as an engineer and an analyst gave me critical thinking skills that I directed inwards to figure out how the human mind works and how do we become the designers for our own lives. I found these answers when I met Bob Proctor. I learned how the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind have different roles and responsibilities in creating the results we get in life. When we know what and how to communicate to the subconscious mind, we can program a goal into our own brain and get the directions there as easily as we can program a destination into GPS in a car. It transformed my life in ways I could not have even dreamed of. I call this process Mindset Engineering and I'd love to share it with you.Molly Brown, Mindset EngineerDesign the mindset you need to achieve the results you want.MindsetEngineeringllc@gmail.comwww.Mindset-Engineering.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mindsetengineer/https://calendly.com/mindsetengineeringllcInstagram @Molly.with.the.MindsetTikTok @engineer.your.mindsetAbout the Host: Tanya is the Founder and creator of the Trifecta of Joy Philosophy.

Chronic pain is a condition many people live with, it is REAL, and can control one's life. Affecting 1 in 4 people, chronic pain is a challenge that moves beyond the physical. With an impact on everyday body function, as well as the ability to be present in many parts of life including home, work, and social gathering, it can make a person's world quite small. In this episode we talk with Dr. Alissa Wolfe, chronic pain specialist, doctor of physical therapy, and the founder of the Chronic Pain Breakup Method. Alissa helps us understand chronic pain, and the neuroscience behind the wiring that happens between our brains and bodies. With the methods she uses, she assists patients to retrain their nervous system and minimize the effects of chronic pain.
