The Case of the Fix Its Podcast

We talk about how the "going inward" season is upon us.  Fall and Winter is time to rest and recoup while the majority of people keep pushing when their bodies are telling them to slow down.  There is a reason for the seasons.  They are telling and showing us more than just their beauty.  We compared where we were at a year ago when we started Case of the Fix Its.  We laugh at how different we are but our end thoughts and beliefs are so inline.   @mindful_monarch @caseofthefixits @grateful_yogini caseofthefixits@gmail.com

When you are on a path to personal development, doing shadow work or whatever you want to call becoming the best human you can be, your current communities may not rise at the same rate/want as you.  Enter feelings of loneliness and feeling as if you are on this journey on your own.  Fear not, we explain how this is total normal and ways we work through this struggle. @mindful_monarch @caseofthefixits @grateful_yogini @angieleeshow

Being a mom and everything that comes with it is no joke.  So we talk about how pregnancy effected us body, mind and spirit.  Gretchen also talks about the differences in her first pregnancy to this one.  Touching on how her addiction effected her pregnancy and health.  As well as, where she can now have compassion for herself and her journey through pregnancy and her recovery.

One episode just wasn't enough to spend on codependency so we recorded another.  This one talks post breakthroughs and more awareness.  We also talk about how at the end of the day healing progress all comes down to self love and knowing that you deserve more than you are giving yourself.  To heal codependency you must reach your pain/consequence threshold where you are tired of being tired and beat up.

How have we seriously not talked about this yet?  As we brainstormed what we were going to talk about today we chatted about what was going on in our own life ... Codependency is the word.  We talk about how it effects us, others and how we deal with it.  Gretchen also gets some tough love from Kelsey. @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini @caseofthefixits Pema Chodron - When Things Fall Apart Melody Beattie - Codependent No More

This episode we talk about closing and new beginnings... how to honor what is being let go- but realizing how the universe will open doors and create space for better things to come through.  We have both been through multiple of these death & rebirth processes and are in consensus that everything worked out exactly how it should. 

We talk about seeing the shifts we have made since the beginning of the year, noticing the power you have created and also touching on the topic of security in relationships.  Its another random one but lot of good stuff to soak up. @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini @caseofthefixits When Things Fall Apart - Pema Chodron

We put a schmorgesborg of topics together in this podcast.  We talk about how we can be so judgmental of our emotions and how we feel and react to certain situations.  Pregnancy brain.  As well as, how we use the phrase, "I am bad at..." way too much.  Lastly, we talk about the power of visualization and manifestation.  We cover a lot of ground in this one so hang on.  Haha.  We are even thinking of adding a section dedicated to Steve and his pearls of wisdom.  Thoughts? @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini @ecstaticcreator Inward - Juan Pueblo When Things Fall Apart - Pema Chodron Angela Rose - Human Design  

We speak on being unapologetic about our passions and purpose no matter how it makes another person feel.  Allowing ourself to evolve from our fears whether they are conscious or unconscious.  Also we enlighten how fear influences financial fitness.  And share beneficial ways on how we manage fear as well as the energetic exchange of money. @caseofthefixits @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini The Expanded Podcast - Lacy Phillips

We have Steff Smith, founder of Babes & Brews, women's networking community, on the podcast.  We talk about the importance of community & connection.  Steff describes her new vision in networking and connecting women entrepreneurs.  Kelsey gives us a little insight on what is happening with the moon.  And Gretchen drops some BIG news.  With mercury just coming out of retrograde we talk about pausing to reflect on where we have come whether that be from far back in the past to just a week ago.  Notice & find gratitude about how far you have come.   @azbabes_and_brews @mindful_monarch @amanda.m.richards @grateful_yogini

We talk about how "armoring up" [putting your dukes up] blocks us from goodness and how we see it in ourselves and others.  We also talk on how it isn't our adult self that needs help (and acknowledging that self is doing pretty well) but the inner child, usually 3-7 year old, is what needs our love, attention, exploration and nurturing. 

We talk about how our conditioning in childhood or even the community that we surround ourselves with as adults influences and molds us body, mind & spirit.  Our conditioning, though powerful, can be worked on and healed just like anything.

We talk about the importance of personal development.  Gretchen created a course that is so precious and powerful to her own personal development in the last three years.  We give more information on Seven Shifts to Peace and the magic that comes from it.  The seven topics being Worthiness, Expectations, Control, Fear, Acceptance, Gratitude & Service.  They are all broken down into a road map of four steps; Feel it, Acknowledge, Direction & Action.  It is truly a life changing opportunity. Seven Shifts to Peace Course @grateful_yogini @mindful_monarch  

This episode we talk about creating space in your life whether it be physical, mental or spiritual space.  We describe the heavy, bogged down feeling that cues you that it is time to clear some space.  We give examples in our own life on how we currently work on clearing space.  And how clearing space ultimately leads to love. @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini

We are lucky enough to get Steve to come on the show to talk about his experience through Gretchen's addiction.  We talk about life after treatment.  We talk about what happens in the addicts relationships and ways to make the transition back to life smoother for everyone.  This episode is filled with love, compassion, communication and, of course, laughter.

Kelsey is getting ready to do a cleanse so we talk about the importance of cleansing not only your energy but your physical body.  We give ideas and tips on ways to do just this on a small and large scale.  Most important aspect is to make your cleansing process all about you and what works for you.   If you enjoyed and benefitted from this podcast please SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW!

We talk about noticing and embracing synchronicities in life.  As well as how sometimes we get wrapped up in the mental, spiritual world and forget how important our physical practice is, from movement to what we put in our body.  We got off on some other tangents that are fun and informative too.  Haha. Enjoy! @mindful_monarch @grateful_yogini @caseofthefixits caseofthefixits@gmail.com @dirtyheads

Money.  Mula.  Cash.  Green.  Coin.  Cheddar.  Dough.  Across the board spiritual healers struggle with charging people (or the appropriate amount) for their services.  We are/were no different.  We brought on #1 emerging female entrepreneur coach & the founder of The Warrior in You to help shed some light on how to live your purpose and make bank doing it.  Ultimately, being able to give & heal more than we could ever imagine.    Instagram: @candy_wheeler  @warriorwomencommunity Website: www.womanwarriorinyou.com  

Parent guilt is real especially when the parent is trying to heal themselves.  Self care starts to feel selfish.  This podcast is all about how to navigate our own healing while still being and feeling like an effective, present parent.  We share our own experiences and how we continue to work through our own guilt.

Relationships sometimes need boundaries.  We explain how you can set healthy boundaries while still keeping your heart open.  It is a pretty fresh topic for us so we explain how we approach the situation at this point but we would love to hear how you do as well.  At the very least this podcast gives you solutions for tough relationship times.  Hope you get a laugh from mic check time too. Haha.

We talk about putting ourselves out on social media.  The good, the bad and the ugly of social media.  How to overcome comparison syndrome.  And how to overcome fear of judgement and showing ourselves raw and real.

We dive into the effects of addiction on the addict/alcoholic, family & friends close to the addict/alcoholic and ways to help cope on all ends.

We chat all about how to protect our energy; whether that mean from being depleted or taking on someone else's energy as our own.  We give tips on how to become aware that energy protection is needed and how to do it.

Relationships aren't just romantic.  We talk about how healers attract healthy and unhealthy relationships and how even though we are on a personal journey of unlimited growth that doesn't mean that the people we have relationships with are doing the same thing.

Gretchen has run herself into the ground.  So Kelsey & Gretchen talk about how to not get that exhausted, how to set boundaries and talk self care.

We chat about the act of surrender; what it looks like, what it is, how we know when it is necessary to do it and how we do it.

Kelsey walks you through what it was like growing up with an alcoholic father and her journey to overcome her eating disorder.  Ultimately leading her to her love of helping to heal other people with her magic.

Gretchen shares what it was like growing up in Wyoming and her struggles with addiction, her triumph into recovery & finally finding her purpose in life.

We are so pumped to bring you "Case of the Fix Its."  We wanted to give you a little background information about us so you know where we are coming from and why we do what we do.  Both of us have been driven to heal since we were little girls.  We both have had our struggles that we were able to overcome and now we are passionate about sharing our stories to help other people.  Hope you enjoy!
