Shanna & Krista chat with hosts Shannon & Jess of “From There to Here Podcast”  Description The most important factor to a healthy well-being is feeling connected. From There, To Here is a podcast that will infuse strength, positivity and a sense of community into your life.  We discuss significant topics that explore our personal journeys From There, To Here, as well as feature insightful guests' stories. Shannon's Bio Shannon is an anxiety driven, overthinking, perfectionist who stresses over not being perfect.  She is blessed to be a mom of three miracles.  Her oldest is adopted out of the foster care system.  After 11 dark years of infertility, she was surprised with a twin pregnancy. Shannon turned in her special education teacher hat to fulfill her dream career as a behavioral and educational consultant.  Shannon has found herself dedicated to using her own life's path to helping others on their journey From There to Here. Jess' Bio Jess is a teacher at heart and a natural leader. Her goal is to leave sparkles of positivity wherever she goes. The practice of finding joy hasn't always been easy - from loving and leaving an addict, to finding self-love and new love, to navigating a nightmare of an adoption process - she is stronger for enduring challenges and is now living her own dream life.  Much of her time is spent with her son, but her life wouldn't be complete without also contributing to the field of education in various ways.  Jess is dedicated to using her own experiences to support others on their journey From There, To Here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shanna and Krista chat with Hannah Crossley owner of “Intristic Freedom Body Work” and how bodywork can ease the stresses of mommies and daddies.  About Hannah Crossley: My name is Hannah and I firmly believe that all of us come into this life whole; we are born into fullness and there remains a blueprint of our wholeness that we always have access to. But as we all know, life presents us with adversity and hardships that bring us pain, grief, anger, and so much more. As a result of such challenges, we often become further and further removed from this intrinsic knowing; we forget our wholeness and we become stuck in a story of brokeness, either physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or a combination of them all. In the work that I'm doing I feel passionately committed to bringing people back to remembrance; to help people remember their innate wholeness and that they have the agency and power to return to that place and to that peace-and more importantly, that wholeness is their home, their natural state of being and that they can boldly claim that peace and healing because it their birthright from the very beginning.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
