A podcast about entrepreneurs and business owners who share how their business was birthed from a trauma from their past, and how they were able to overcome limiting beliefs and use their story to form their brand.
In this podcast episode, Cassandra discusses her hiatus from the podcasting universe and what has transpired during her time away from the microphone. Not to spoil the surprise, but A LOT has been happening in Casssandra's life and there are some pretty major things unfolding. Simply put, sh*ts about to get crazy on a massive level.What, exactly does that entail? A new way of rethinking the social media landscape for one. Cassandra, along with her partners Kaylin Kustura & Jade Miller, envision an online experience free from the toxic encounters we contend with on a daily basis. Enter Aligned Social. A platform that places people above profit, alliances above algorithms, and mental wellness above targeted marketing mania. Aligned Social will completely revamp what it means to engage within the social media experience.But that's not all! Cassandra also explains other projects that are currently in the works. Whether it be the Tech By Tola business online interface that functions as a one-stop shop for all of a business' digital needs or The Well, a online publication of prose focusing on wellness and hosted within the Medium.com platform, Tola Digital's media presence continues to expand and evolve in meeting the needs of an ever changing digital landscape.Cassandra brings it all to a conclusion with discussing her NEW PODCAST, Girlfriends With (out) Benefits. Cassandra, alongside fellow female phenoms Kaylin Kustura & Jade Miller, use the podcast to discuss topics near and dear to their hearts just as any group of girlfriends might do on a Saturday night. So grab a cup of coffee (or tea), pull up a chair and give this episode a listen.Related TopicsFemale EmpowermentBusinessWellnessMental HealthSocial MediaHelpful LinksGirlfriends With(out) Benefits PodcastAligned Social App
In this podcast episode, Cassandra goes back to a topic she spoke with Meg about last week, and that topic surrounds food and using food and plants as medicine. Cassandra is a huge fan of plant medicine, it's involved in her day to day life. Now, usually when talking about plant medicine, psychedelics are usually what comes to mind. However, Cassandra wants to talk about using nature's food as plant medicine.After having her most recent baby, Cassandra has really started to look at food in a different light. Growing up, we were always taught that there was ‘good food' and that there is ‘bad food'. Good food being things that are veggies, and things low in fat. And bad things are higher in fat and calories. She wants to flip that script and start looking at food in a healing vs delayed healing aspect.Will this food help heal my body or will it delay the healing?It's now that Cassandra has started teaching her own children about food, and teaching them that food is a source of energy, vitamins, minerals… AND that we do get satisfaction out of food, and that's okay!Come on in. Listen as Cassandra talks about how she went through different food aspects, diets, to now focusing more on healing and delayed healing. Know you're not alone and there are many others just like you.Key Points:Good food vs Bad foodHealing food vs Delayed healing foodNature's food as medicine Tweetable quotes:“I truly believe that there is something in nature to heal almost any ailment.” - Cassandra“We are taught in our younger years that there is good food and bad food.” - Cassandra“There is no good vs bad. Every single thing that we put in our body, both positive and negative, can either help heal the body, or will delay healing.” - Cassandra
In this podcast episode, Cassandra meets with Meg Pearson. Meg talks about how she came from a small town in Ontario to how she is now living in Costa Rica as a thriving mother and business owner. Through her traumas, to not following the family profession, she talks about how she went through so much, and how it shaped who she is today. Cassandra prompts a conversation about how Meg knew things in her life needed to change. Meg recounts the traumas she went through, quitting her job, losing her father… how all of this played a huge part in her realizing she is not the person she was destined to become.With this in mind, Meg decided to turn to yoga. At first, she did it to find ways to better her body, and ‘sweat off the weight'... but it soon turned into so much more for her. Diving head first into the raw food world, she started hosting culinary classes, writing articles, and really teaching people the impact that diet has on their body.Cassandra and Meg talk about how our identities are so wrapped up in food pieces. How food defines so much of us, without us even realizing it. From the way we were brought up, to how we were spoken to about food, to the things we hear our family, friends, or parents talk about… Meg explains that these instances stay with us for the rest of our lives and are part of our soul.Moving the conversation to parenting, Cassandra asks Meg how her lifestyle has changed her parenting style. The main thing Meg talks about with Cassandra is making sure that her child feels like they are the one making choices for themselves, and that Meg's trauma's as a child aren't pushed onto her child. Reparenting herself and constantly auditing her actions and reactions to behavior, has become something Meg does daily.Come join us and listen as we take a journey of food, family, and other spiritual aspects of life with Cassandra and Meg.Key Points:Reparenting and Auditing Reactions to BehaviorSpiritual Bypass vs ExtractionHow Childhood Trauma's Shape Us How Food Plays a Large Part of our LifeLinks:IG: https://www.instagram.com/alignedaffluence/Website: https://www.meghanpearson.ca/
In this podcast episode, Cassandra goes back to a topic she spoke with Liz about last week, and that topic is conscious parenting. She explains that the use of the word conscious parenting would mean that we would need to believe there are unconscious parents, and this has a very negative connotation. Cassandra is a firm believer, either positive or negative, all of us are doing the best with what we are given, worked through and healed through. She believes parents can find themselves falling into a rut of repeating the errors of previous life experiences, might those be conscious or unconscious life choices.We need to dissect our programming and look under the hood. We don't know any better than what we were taught. It's how we were set since childhood.No matter the amount of healing and therapy, even Cassandra has triggers from her childhood that she is still working through with her children. And that's okay. Reparenting of ourselves through our children is a great way to work through those triggers and pause before reacting.Come on in. Listen as Cassandra talks about herself and her parenting. Know you're not alone and there are many other parents just like you.Key Points:Working through your own self detachmentParenting is hardChildhood triggers and how they affect us now Where can you exercise getting yourself out of fight or flight?Tweetable quotes:“Parenting is f*cking hard. Parenting without a model and without someone who could have taught you some of the right things to do is especially hard.” - Cassandra
In this podcast episode, Cassandra meets with Liz Zamorski and they discuss everything from spouses, to parenting, to corporate business. Liz mentions how she went from being born and raised in the US and working as a corporate lawyer to how she is now living in Sweden with her husband and daughter with her very own psychic business.Going from burnout and feeling physically uncomfortable at her corporate job, she talks about the pivotal moments in her spiritual awakenings while she was off the grid in Thailand. She knew it was time to transition. Her whole body knew it was time to transition, everything felt like a copy of a copy.Liz started by simply walking through the woods near her home in Sweden. She immediately felt a connection to the nature around her. Noticing everything from a little tree frog and what the people around her were carrying with them. For the first time, she felt she could truly pause and just listen. She then started recording anything and everything that she noticed, and later would google to figure out what those things meant. This is what led her to start offering her family and close friends readings. She then started tarot card readings on multiple social media platforms. Liz went from corporate worker to light worker overnight.What does all of this look like from a family point of view? Liz and Cassandra speak about what it's like to have a partner who isn't necessarily on the same spiritual level. How they work through that, and how they still offer assistance and hold that space without having an expectation. This is something that is not talked about enough, and Cassandra is excited to touch on this topic in her podcast.Cassandra also speaks to Liz about conscious parenting and how the parenting journey has changed for her through her spiritual journey. How do you foster a kid's imagination while also keeping them safe and providing well established boundaries?

In this podcast episode, Cassandra talks about finding your own medium to express your soul's purpose. Everyone has been given a purpose. Everyone was given a certain medium to help them move on to their next level of the season they're in. You included.Cassandra loves art. She loves all aspects of art, but that doesn't mean it's her medium. We all have a lot of passions… a lot of things that we LOVE, that light us up… but that doesn't mean that they are meant for me. It doesn't mean they're meant to be my medium. And that's totally okay! You're allowed to have these things in life.The difference, Cassandra explains, is that love and passion are very surface. In order to find your true medium… your true purpose… we need to dig deeper.Cassandra explains in just a few simple steps and questions, the way you can differentiate a passion or love, with your soul's purpose. Your true medium.What the fuck is your soul's purpose?How do I find my medium?Or maybe you haven't quite gotten to the point where you have found your soul's purpose yet.

“New Year, New You?” Hardly! In this podcast Cassandra examines the pitfalls associated with New Year Resolutions along with the longtime struggles people have with little self-motivating energies. What is that? Purpose. Our energies are derived from our soul's purpose. This is why when we ask things of ourselves (such as resolutions) that are not in alignment with our soul's purpose, we rarely find success in those pursuits. Many resolutions are made on December 31st with hardly any reflection or preparation. If a great change within your life is to unfold, it's probably prudent to begin planning for that change earlier than the night before.So how does change occur? Embodiment. Embodiment is the key to unlocking the transformation puzzle. It helps with flow, manifestation, and a host of other foundations that help promote meaningful change. NOT following community-oriented trends that leave us feeling empty and simply “going with the flow” in order to keep up with the Jones. Perhaps 2022 shouldn't be focused on the goal of working out. Perhaps it would be better spent on mental health. Maybe this isn't the year to find that special someone, but rather focus on strengthening what makes you, you. Cassandra continues with the podcast by examining how to realistically fulfill one particular popular resolution. How achieving that goal is something that is realistic, measurable, and provides betterment within her life and a timetable for stages of success.Finishing up the podcast, Cassandra teases her 2022 program: Hustle to Healing. This is a 5-month program focusing on helping entrepreneurs and professionals alike attain greater awareness of self-understanding and achieving the goals they feel aligned with pursuing.So tune in! You might just learn some of the techniques for achieving success in keeping those resolutions. Here's to 2022!Key Points:How empty the “New Year, New You” mantra actually isThe benefits of self-motivating energiesKeys to unlocking the transformation puzzleHow a soul's aligned purpose dictates our success or failureCassandra teases her 2022 program: Hustle To Healing

Unraveling a journey from corporate to entrepreneurial and spiritual endeavor is an essential topic discussed in today's podcast. Cassandra will give you a glimpse of life situations about unraveling.Cassandra thought of different ways to unravel from her previous podcast with Dmitria. And she is always asked, like, you know, is there a proper way? Is there a right way to do it? Like, how did you do it?Cassandra shares a little backstory on how she unraveled the pieces in her life. She was in the corporate and was working at one, quote, toxic job after another. At first, everything looked phenomenal. It was great salary, benefits, team, structure, and company. Then, however, she saw a lot of misogyny which she didn't want to subscribe to.Things get more and more frustrated with everything that was going on. Her own health even became a problem. It started with gluten intolerance and moved over to a Hashimotos base protocol. Finally, she got to the point of frustration, where literally one day she walked in, and she was done.She got to the level of frustration where she could no longer handle it as there was no income to replace, and she didn't want to focus and face it. So, that was her kind of journey out. So, Cassandra had to hustle and figure out all those things once she was out.Cassandra believes that humans have this need and desire for safety. But with the concept of severe trauma, some people find it hard that they're not going to do or not want to do to unravel. So what she did is create six things to slowly unravel whether you are in a corporate or in another business, or both.In this podcast, Cassandra will talk about strategically releasing responsibilities, defining the minimums, working towards realistic minimums, and the limited idea of unlimited hustling. She will highlight here why working beyond the average hours and pouring all your energy to working multiple jobs are not ideal for long-term sustainability.Now sit comfortably and listen in!Key points:Figure out why unraveling is important to you.Get clear of what work and life balance means to you.Prioritize what's important to you.Let go of trying to work and do it all.Simplify your life.Tweetable Quotes:“Overwork should have a kind of a short expiration date on it. Because if it doesn't, it becomes more of a life cycle and lifestyle.” - Cassandra Shuck“I think hustle for a particular season or a particular strategic event makes ascent makes total sense. On the other hand, I kind of sway away from it and disagree with it when it comes to long-term sustainability.” - Cassandra Shuck“Where can you still have some connection time with the relationships in your life to avoid that adrenal fatigue of just go, go, go, go while unraveling one thing and trying to stand up another?” - Cassandra Shuck
Establish the light spirit in your life and have the freedom to choose what works for you and not without hard-and-fast rules! In this podcast, Dmitria shares how to establish a spiritual but not too religious-centered practice while discovering the possibilities of the Universe in finding your own self!A luminance and shamanic healer, Dmitria shares her journey from leaving her religious community and finding her own spirituality. She shares her experience of being active in the church community and eventually leaving because the church doesn't welcome her anymore due to the patriarchy in the parish and diocese.Knowing her middle school age is filled with awkwardness, she struggles with fitting in. This leads her to withdraw from social activities in school and spends most of her time alone. It benefits her in some ways as she does a good job processing what that meant to her and how it impacts her development.Dmitria emphasizes that everything that happens in our life is intentional and precisely perfect.

No one has the right path to get there. But, getting as much understanding on how other people have done it will help you confine your way.” – Dmitria Burya“This idea that I would just say like yeah let's go and do it and figure it out. Let's walk to it to have new experiences, knowledge, and thoughts. It will definitely be a life-changing experience.” – Dmitria Burya“When we remember, we tend to remember from the last time we recall an instance. We don't recall from the first instance. So from the ‘truth perspective', we are getting further and further and further away from the actual truth, the longer we hold onto it.”- Cassandra ShuckLinks:Dmitria Burby WebsiteDmitria Burby Instagram
Recently, there has been a lot of conversation about finding out your gifts, and Cassandra Shuck has been hearing from different people seeking to know what their gifts are. They particularly want to know to discover their gifts and use them in their lives. So how do we do that?First of all, Cassandra thinks that it's important that we have these conversations in light of the idea of different questions to ask ourselves. Some questions Cassandra recommends finding out what your gifts include:1) If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?For her, it's about changing the metric for women entrepreneurs to have the money that not only they deserve but could actually turn around and create an impact on their lives.2) What do you understand more about people?Cassandra shares that she understands the animals so well. She has some people that she worked with that understand, kind of uncovering their meaning and really digging down deep in their story so well. 3) What bores you or makes you feel tired, or makes you feel forced into doing it?For Cassandra, she loves the process of dissecting people's businesses, getting into their heads, getting into their mindset, seeing what makes them tick, seeing what makes their clients convert getting their client's heads in space. But for her, it's the process that she loves. It's not necessarily the outcome. 4) What is it that brings you joy? What is it that brings you the most satisfaction? Cassandra asks here what satisfies you at a deep soul level. She's not just talking temporarily but deep soul-level gratification. Identifying what drives us the most is a major component of gift identification.5) What is the happiest day of your life?She's not talking about the time she met her spouse or time she got married or met her partner or whatever the case may be, you've had a baby. Cassandra thinks of deeper than milestones. Like how do you live that out? What is it that you're doing? Where is it that you're going? Are you traveling? Are you staying still? Are you reading? What is the happiest day of your life? 6) What values do you have that you are not willing to compromise on? So often get into business because we're not willing to compromise on a value that we find out only later on in the business. So we have to bend; we have to compromise; we have to shift. Do you want to know more?Start believing, digging, and uncovering what your gift is by listening to our podcast below!Key points:Rediscover your passion.Motivate yourself to get your day-to-day tasks done.Want to have personal and professional growth.Achieve results.Share knowledge, experiences, skills, and talents with others out there.Tweetable quotes:“I'm aware of my value levels so that I'm able to create these boundaries from protection and from a love perspective.” - Cassandra Shuck“I believe that everyone has something true to themselves that they understand.” - Cassandra Shuck“I love the fact that my clients are making money and their businesses are growing, and they're getting to live out what their true dharma is.” - Cassandra Shuck“I am not willing to compromise my time with family. It's just a non-negotiable for me.” - Cassandra Shuck
Starting her career as a chiropractor, Dr. Angela Martin-King loves analyzing how animals move, the manner that the bones work inside a body and know how things are built from the inside out. So it was a no-brainer for her to move into the science field and help people heal because she had many instinctual gifts to offer.Sharing her experience as an “animal whisperer,” Angela talks about animals being a lot more fun than humans as they don't extract the energy out of you. Also, compared with humans, animals get better faster, and you get rewarded more than once.But just like so many spiritual and Pathak people, Angela was hit by a major burnout and had to learn new ways to heal herself. And so, after years of experiencing deep and rapid healing, she becomes a spiritual awakening catalyst, a chiropractic doctor, and a soul-fire practitioner! Calling herself a healed healer, this becomes her starting point to help others achieve extraordinary results in their lives.As Dr. Angela explains in her podcast, she emphasizes that if the unconscious mind is cluttered with misbeliefs and old things that you were told not to do, accessing the gifts can become difficult. People have to clear out of the unconscious mind and limitations that are crowding out that gift because trying to access something through fear or desperation can be even more challenging. She insists that it doesn't work like that when talking about real, spiritual, and unique gifts. (More information about these gifts are discussed in her podcast)Talking about mosaic analogy, she realizes that when we get into the multi-dimensional space, we see different facets of who we are all wrapped together to create a beautiful, multifaceted soul. Figuring out how amazing it makes her love the spiritual work even more!Sit down and relax as you listen to the therapeutic podcast of Dr. Angela Martin-King!Key Points:Gain awareness about your dreams, fears, and assumptions.Envision reality without compromiseDefine what fulfillment looks like.Shift to an empowered mindset and perspective.Design your own terms happiness and success. Tweetable Quotes:“Let's connect with our youngsters' gifts and believe in them as long as possible without even doubting them.” - Dr. Angela Martin-King“Before we are created, we are the dark. We are also the rich dark soil. And the darkness actually holds the most power for you to create light from.” - Dr. Angela Martin-KingUseful Links:Dr. Angela Martin-King
In a way, all of us are time travelers. If we just pause and close our eyes, we can wander back to our childhood dreams, our failures, and all our first and best experiences that went on forever. But how can we make these thoughts and feelings work for us, and what can we learn from them?In this podcast, Cassandra discusses how, when, and why you can get quiet enough in your life to start connecting the dots and realize how everything makes so much sense. She emphasizes that the roadmap and the blueprint have always been there.However, Cassandra admits that things can be really hard in the moment, especially when talking about bad stories. We can get stuck in the victim mode. This isn't really negative; this just proves to be human and how we naturally progress from time to time. Cassandra stresses that we truly begin living when we cast aside victim mentality and truly become masters of our own lives.As the podcast continues, Cassandra mentions labeling our thoughts and emotions. She believes that doing this allows us to see the real issue at hand and accept it. Some things may be messier than others, but labeling them clearly can help build a roadmap to address the problem.Nostalgic work as it may seem, Cassandra recognizes that pulling the past forward to the present and labeling them can help to energize, move forward, and take on new challenges and opportunities life has to offer.Now, sit back, relax, and listen in!Keypoints:Acknowledge the feelings.Give a deeper understanding of what happened in your past.Learn how to label your emotions to reduce physiological distressBring your reaction under control.Discover the possibilities for what to do next.Cast aside victimhood and be your own champion.Tweetables:“Start looking at our paths, looking at how they intertwine, and looking at the labels that we assign them because everything is neither good nor bad. It has to do with the label we assign them.” - Cassandra Shuck“We are no longer taking things that someone passed to us and just accepting them as fact. But we are creating our own facts, and that's the blueprint of our life.” - Cassandra Shuck“Taking radical responsibility and what your life looks like are scary and uncomfortable as shit. But guess what, this is what we're meant to do.” - Cassandra Shuck

She admits knowledge of sex education as a kid was limited to abstinence.

Ditch your money blocks, own your worth, and get into that next level you've been waiting for! If you're a full-time entrepreneur, a side hustler, a newbie starting your own thing, or simply someone who just wants to get into the next level, then you know there is this poor money mindset that you need to break up, so it will hold you back no more. In this podcast, Erin gives tips on shifting that mental space to get desirable results. A Money Mindset Mentor and Soul Fire Ignitirix, Erin spends many years coaching women who want to succeed in their business. Among the very common issues, she encounters those who never feel they are having enough. Erin believes that each person just needs to ease the anxieties that lurk in their minds and push them more until they succeed. In her practice, Erin adds shamanic work to help further clients discover what holds them back from living their best and wealthy lives.Erin emphasizes that when people embody a proper money mindset, the financial life flows towards the energy they give it. This means when one focuses on believing, making, and having more than enough money, one will start living in abundance. As the podcast continues, she shares her experience before her college days. They were living enough, but comparing her life to people with varying financial statuses made her feel unhappy because of the huge discrepancy. Only later she realizes that when you focus on lack and scarcity, then that will be your sole experience. Erin insists that anyone can get to the things they want without too much pressure. The thing is you have to believe that you are in control of your money and you will get there. But if you think you will mess up, then you will never hit your numbers. Now sit comfortably and listen in! Key Points:Change your mindset about money.Uncover the self-limiting beliefs and money blocks.Get comfortable with your fears.Focus on the things you can control.Set the right intentions and keep goals in shifting your money story.

Why spend so much time worrying about signs from the universe when we have our own internal stop light within us? In today's solo podcast, Cassandra examines what exactly it means to be in touch with your gut. Being in tune with our inner voice can lead to powerful moments of change. It is that voice in our bodies telling us to take an alternative route to work or to skip coffee that morning. Whether it be a subtle whisper or a loud protest, that's our gut and the more we listen to it, the greater we find ourselves living out our lives in alignment with the universe.Cassandra reflects upon several life experiences when trusting her gut helped to overcome longtime fears and obstacles. In one instance, listening to her gut helped to dispel a decades-long fear of swimming in the ocean. In doing so, “going with gut” helped provide a degree of tremendous personal growth.Growth & change. That's ultimately what we as people are tasked with facing on a daily basis. Try to find an accountability partner to join you in listening to your gut. Often, it is the resistance to those changes, and NOT the changes themselves, that can do the most harm to us. So take that leap and listen to today's podcast.Key Points From This Episode:Listening to your gut can help guide you to opportunities of growth.Often, the greatest harm comes from resistance to change rather than embracing it.Fear and distrust can factor greatly in preventing us from living fulfilling lives.The ocean isn't as dangerous as one might make it out to be.Consider finding an accountability partner to help you when listening to your gut.
Coincidences, synchronicities, synergies aren't always worked by the universe, oftentimes it's you embodying it. Today's guest, Monica Canducci, believes in a much bigger picture than coincidences, where alignment and reflections are key players. Monica's work revolves around activations - the mind and body connection. She is an author, Embodied Spirituality teacher, and Transformational Life Coach. To add, she is also the creator of the Move-In Mind™ method and of The Sacred Body™ Program. From her spiritual teachers and healers, she passes on her knowledge through videos, audios, or whatever platform to help women in their life transitions.The coaching space has so many buzzwords like manifestation, alignment, abundance that you seem to be talked about in one perspective, but Monica shifts us to another perspective which is the embodiment perspective. Monica shares with us her experiences the very first time she showed interest in the line of work she's in today. Back in the days, she was also a performer, an artist, we hear the significant experiences she had during those times.

Show NotesWhat is the magic we bring to the table? Dan Mangena is of the belief that there isn’t a mysterious nuance to the talents we have in our lives. At times, we must simply exist, reflect and allow for those talents and gifts to reveal themselves on their own terms. Life is a spectrum of experience propelling us into our calling. In this podcast, Dan takes us for a tour of how we can allow our hearts to guide us into our greater purpose.Dan originates from East London of the United Kingdom and currently lives in Cabo, Mexico. Father of a blended family, Dan speaks, writes books & generally empowers people to be enthusiastic about their lives. He reminds us that there is MORE and that life is not merely a series of tradeoffs. Dan helps to guide people into understanding that there is a purpose driven life that can be fulfilling and gratifying.Dan touches base on how sometimes people can fall into the trap of basing their worldly opinions from their limited life experience. In the same manner, it’s important to remember that there is a higher perspective that sees more and ensures that our talents are discovered.As the podcast continues, Dan expands into his life experience and explores what success & failure happen to mean in our lives. He talks about some of the lower points of his life, contemplations of suicide, and how he was able to overcome the negativity and depression in his life to pursue a fulfilling existence. All it takes is baby steps in the right direction. Dan covers how likely it is for people to succeed when they can touch or feel their goals.Ultimately, Dan encourages us to be disruptors within our lives. We are in control of so much and likewise our own greatest advocates. Instead of operating from unconscious impulses, we should develop a conscious relationship with what we are thinking, how we are feeling & thinking. From there, we can change habits and behaviors. Listen in!Key Points:Try to find the blessing within the mess and avoid white-knuckling life.Learning about the “ego” in a sense of death and rebirthSetting & achieving goalsIdentifies the pitfalls of instant gratification & its allure within our society.Warns against the risks of outsourcing our thinking and its impact on our Free Will.Tweetables:“I don’t think there is anything mysterious about the magic that we are.” - Dan Mangena“We do have an opportunity to live an abundant, joyful, purpose driven life.” - Dan Mangena“The more time we spend time on things we don’t have direct influence over, the less impact we will actually have.” - Dan Mangena“At the end of the day, we are going to be remembered for the impact, the footprint we leave on people’s lives.” - Dan Mangena“Democracy is the freedom to hold an idea even when other people don’t agree with it.” - Dan MangenaUseful Links:Dan MangenaCassandra Shuck

In Part 2 of the podcast, Cassandra delves further into her self discovery while at Rhythmia. As you may know, Cassandra has done a lot of work that relates to her loss, but this was a whole other level she didn’t expect. Up until that point on the night of the very first ceremony, Cassandra focused more on ayahuasca as a drug rather than a medicine. But as she got there, her mind was set at ease and a lot of her anxieties, after watching how these group of humans interact and the amount of respect, love, and admiration that they have for the plant, was released. Well, there was still a bit of anxiousness left but not to the point that she’d turn around and run. The three days she was there were different experiences on each day.

Now, she helps other women, moms, and wives live their best lives through self-compassion.But it wasn’t all fun and adventure for this resilient mother of four. Being stacked against severe postpartum depression, especially after her third baby, Brittany describes that her hormones went crazy, and she felt like she didn’t have a support system. For over a year, Brittany struggled with bouts of depression alongside therapy sessions. She started diving into self-compassion and better understanding herself, and she was able to pull out of depression. During a drive during a family trip, she had a moment that God told her to get out and play, that she had one life, and she needed to live it by doing things she enjoys. That was the turning point. So, she put herself back on the priority list and started doing things for herself. That led to the creation of the Get Out There Girl brand and to write a self-compassion workbook. She took everything she learned from therapy and compiled her knowledge into the self-compassion study.Listen in with Cassandra and Brittany and hear how being stacked against something can lead to a life full of adventures, not only your own experiences but with other people.

It’s a different situation when your health is affected. In this episode, we dive in with Julie’s journey with Rheumatoid Arthritis or “RA” as she uses throughout the podcast. But before that, we first did a quick getting-to-know. Wanting to find a little more open space, Julie made a move to Colorado to raise her children where they could be outside all year round. Being in her early 30s, a newly single mom with three young kids Julie was diagnosed with RA in 2004. After learning about her RA diagnosis, she decides the western life seemed fit despite being on 10 medications. She then transitions how the western route was not working and it sparked to her that changing her lifestyle was a need. Dave Asprey was an integral part of her health journey. Do you ever get that feeling that you’re at your best (but not really)? That’s how Julie would feel every time she’d be asked if she was recovered. She doesn’t feel like she’s recovered because today she’d feel her best but six months later she’ll feel that her health is at its best than before. It has taken three years to get Julie to where she is now, pain-free, having her energy back, and no more brain fog. She figured that the root cause of her illness was toxicity which she’s still working on.As Julie continues with her RA recovery journey, she has also been helping people with autoimmune challenges plus a little extra love for those in the RA community. She works on lifestyle changes with people struggling with autoimmunity specializing in RA. Her passion led her to launch a new program “RA The Right Way” focusing on the 5 pillars: diet, stress management, sleep, movement, and detox.

Show Notes:What does it mean to be in a fulfilling meaningful relationship with someone? How do intimacy & sex complicate that relationship? Enter Ken Blackman, known relationship coach who’s guidance for couples seeks to foster deeper relationships between partners. In this podcast, Kevin delves into the complex dynamic of how relationships can often bring out both the best (& worst) in people working together. Ken draws from years of experience in coaching couples to provide sound advice in helping partners meet mutual goals: both professionally and sexually.From a coaching perspective, Ken believes that perception remains one of the strongest influences in our personal relationships with others. Projecting negativity can manifest poor life experiences. However you feel about yourself is also what you are destined to attract. As feelings about ourselves change for the better, so will those forces gravitate towards us. Mentors are instrumental in helping us see ourselves differently and drag us out of ruts.They help us to relate with ourselves and others differently.Ken explains about deconstructing historical stereotypes of gender roles within society and how they influence our interpersonal relationships. Helping people recognize WHAT goals people seek out in others and within their relationships has become Ken’s focus. There is no new “model” or template by which to set relationship roles. There is no “producer” or “protector”, so Ken is working on organizing that modern dynamic in his new book.Ken's primary Key Performance Indicator by which he measures relationship success is: Are they generally happy on a day to day basis - do they operate from a point of generosity? (willing to give unto the others) In a happy relationship people look for ways to serve others. Society will sometimes try to whitewash a stigma of women being primary breadwinners within a household. Couples that are attracted to Ken are normally when SHE is stepping into her power and how to go about setting up that dynamic. That dynamic isn’t flipped, it is dismantled and requires an entirely new mindset for a prosperous future.Key Points From This Episode:-Lasting relationships require partners to recognize and nourish what the other brings to the table.-Ken explains Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for good relationships.-There is no secret formula for setting a baseline of relationship dynamic in society.-Sometimes the greatest barriers are those that we create for ourselves.-Much of the techniques used by Ken are from experience with previous couples.-Challenging societal stereotypes can be a challenge in changing public opinion on breadwinners in relation to gender roles.-Reforming corporate stereotypes with relationships can help modernize the workplace.-As a woman steps into her power, couples need a new understanding of their relationship.Tweetables:“In a healthy relationship, couples are looking to do more for each other.” - Ken Blackman (26:47)“In clients (men) you work with, these are common threads (gender societal stereotypes) that are put upon people.” - Cassandra Shuck (17:56)“We no longer operate from that old (traditional) model of masculinity.” -Ken Blackman (18:57)Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Cassandra ShuckKen BlackmanSex & Connection Blog
