I want to take you guys into a bit of my story and what has led me to the path I walk down today. It's a long, bumpy ride, so put on your seat belt and get ready!

Spring is a time for reflection on our lives and how far we've truly come. I can't believe that I'm 25 episodes into this show. It's been such a pleasure to look back and talk about all the episodes I enjoyed most with you guys. Today's episode marks the end of season 1, and we dive into a season-style show with so much juiciness and intention. JUST FOR YOU! See you guys in a couple of weeks. ·       REFLECTING: Taking the time and space to step back and allow ourselves to see how far we've come. ·       HATS: We wear so many hats in our lives (i.e., mom, business owner, wife, sister, etc.) Life's about honoring all the hats we wear and giving them each the tie and pace they deserve. ·       FOOD TEMPLATES: What foods you'll need to incorporate into your regimen to build out well balanced, nutrient-dense meals for yourself and your family ·       ACCEPTANCE: How to accept what life dealt you and how to move through challenging times ·       SPINNING IN CIRCLES: It takes just as much energy to stay in any lousy relationship (food, significant other, friends, etc) as it does to leave it ·       ACCEPTING WHAT IS: Learning, owning, and accepting that your child might be "different" is essential to allow yourself to lean into. ·        GET LOST: It's easy to fall victim to getting stuck in your head in stories and problems. Remembering to step back and be the observer looking in at yourself can help pull you out. ·       WE ARE HUMAN: We make mistakes, have hard times, and get stuck in our stories. It's easy to forget we're not robots. About the Host: Melanie is a nutritionist, life and health coach. Who's uberly passionate about all things mindset, nutrition, and wellness.

 Becoming a mother is the most exciting yet scary adventure we'll ever embark on. I know we all wished there was a manual to becoming a parent and how to navigate the process. Unfortunately, this does not exist, but learning to accept our children for who they are is crucial for your relationship with them. Today we deep dive into the hard seasons of motherhood and how to find happiness and balance ( even when your child is having a tantrum) In today's episode, we'll be learning about: ·      MOTHERHOOD: Nothing or none can prepare you for your journey into motherhood ·      UNIQUELY DIFFERENT: Every child is different in their unique way. ·      GUILT AND BLAME: It's easy for mothers to feel guilty and shame for thinking we "did this" to our children. ·      NEVER TOO LATE: The brain is growing and always evolving. It's never too late to step in and make a positive change for your child. ·      SHOWING UP: When you as a mother show up differently, your kids can show up differently. ·      UNDERNEATH: it's the behavior that is what's driving it. ·      COMMUNICATION: A Child's behavior is a form of communication that they're trying to communicate how they feel. ·      MELTDOWNS: It's NOT a behavior it's emotions out of control. ·      WE'RE HUMANS: We all have good days and bad days. Sometimes's it's easy to forget we have feelings. ·      GET ROOTED: in love and acceptance of what is. ·      IT'S OK: It's OK to get out of your way and ask for help!

Let's take a moment to talk about that annoying voice in our heads that's always trying to sabotage the party. You know when you feel like you'd like to leave a relationship (or job) and something inside you keeps you holding on? Or when you want to lose weight but can't stop snacking on foods? Well, this episode is for you! I'll help you work on eliminating that voice inside your head and live the life YOU want. In today's episode, we'll be learning about: ·      INNER CRITIC + Negative Self Talk: We all get bombarded by the voices in our heads telling us we're not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, etc ·      PROGRAMMING: We get programmed with stories and identities just like a computer system. It's up to us to allow those programs to run or not. ·      WE MAKE MISTAKES: Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves that we're humans and make mistakes. It's about using our mistakes as lessons to help us grow. ·      Habits: Look at the habits you've formed over time and ask yourself if they're benefiting you or not. If not, journal on them and get some answers as to why they started and how you can stop them. ·      JOURNALING: Get your Journal out and start brain dumping behaviors, self-talk, and start to recognize and see patterns to stop what no longer serves you. ·      IT'S NEVER TOO LATE: To start living life on a more positive note.

Did it feel like your life completely changed after you had a kid? I sure all hell know mine did. Today I'm talking with an incredible guest and dear friend, Rachel Krylov, as we go DEEP into being cracked open as a mother.

Just remind yourself you are loved and find a tribe that supports you and lights you up. ·      ASK FOR HELP: You don't need to hold the weight of the world on your shoulders. Reaching out can help you feel stronger and more empowered. ·      BREAKING THE CYCLE: It's ok to live your own stories and not the ideas and beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation. ·      Holding on: We hold onto more trauma than we know, and it can even start in the womb. ·      AGE OF TECHNOLOGY: We live in an era of having so much access to information, but it's about finding a balance not to feel bombarded and overloaded. ·      TRUST YOURSELF: We're intuitive beings and trust that the answers we need will come to us. ·      I WAS THE PERFECT PARENT BEFORE I HAD A CHILD: We think we have it all figured out, and then poof, we get thrown curveballs.  About the Guest: Rachel Caprice Krylov is an Intuitive Energy Healer that combines many modalities including energy healing, intuitive guidance, psychology, self-development, and holistic health.

I have to be transparent with everyone, I've fallen off the rocker the last month. I have this repetitive pattern that comes up to get me every now and then, and it dragged me down really hard over the holidays. I've battled ADHD, anxiety, and depression on and off over the last 30 years. I'm human just like you, and I have good days and bad days. Sometimes my bad days can turn into multiple weeks. It's about recognizing the behaviors and learning from mistakes and coming out on top in the end. With a little grace, compassion, and determination you can overcome anything. In today's episode, we'll be learning about: ·      FULL TRANSPARENCY: It's ok not to be ok ·      TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: Fully embodying how you feel, not just physically but emotionally. ·      PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK ON FIRST: It's essential to take care of yourself before others. Don't put yourself on the back burner. ·      GET LOST: It's easy to fall victim to getting stuck in your head in stories and problems. Remembering to step back and be the observer looking in at yourself can help pull you out. ·      WE ARE HUMAN: We make mistakes, have hard times, and get stuck in our stories. It's easy to forget we're not robots. ·      RECOGNIZE: gaining awareness around habits and patterns that no longer serve you is step one. ·      ACCEPTANCE: Accepting your current reality will help you process the emotions and struggles that have come up for you over time. ·      MOVING THROUGH: Allow yourself to process what cards you've been dealt. Sit with yourself, and journal how you feel to let go and move through to integrate and step into a newer, brighter version of yourself.
