We kick off season 3, and I sit down with Trevor Harris, host of the “Your Health Class” podcast. Trevor shares his health journey and what inspired him to start the podcast. He was experiencing heart palpitations at the age of 16, eating three bowls of cereal a day and learned how he could take control of his health through small changes which have affected significant changes in his life over time. Among other things, we talk about how to move from a mentality where you're at the mercy of the world to one where you start to take control of your life and health.

On today's episode, we discuss how ruminating on thoughts and ideas about the past or hypothetical future can create stress. And how by reflecting on what we can learn from those past experiences or thoughts about the future, we can turn that overthinking into a source of growth.
I sit down with Alissa Boyer, HSP mentor. We discuss what it means to have the trait of being an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), the strengths and abilities that come along with it, how to listen to the physical language of your body and use it as a compass to help guide you through life, and how to develop and leverage your intuition as a powerful tool to access a higher power we're all wired into. Find Alissa on Instagram @lifebyalissa (https://www.instagram.com/lifebyalissa/)
On today's episode, we talk about the internal compass we all have access to (hint: it's your intuition) and how we can use it to navigate our lives. We also discuss how we are the ones who create our life's map as we go along and how it's constantly changing and evolving as we go.
I sit down with Gary Rankin, Coach. Gary shares one of his most powerful moments when he realized he could change and do anything and be anyone... and how powerful it is when he helps someone else realize their own potential and believe in their own ability to change. He also talks about how to recognize when you should move past discomfort into growth and the concept of stretching your consciousness — i.e. when you hear the “wee voice” that pops up and says you can't do something. That voice in itself might be a signal that you should venture into that feeling of uncertainty. Find Gary on Instagram @garyrankin_ and for coaches looking to grow in an authentic way, check out his recently launched business @souldoutandunleashed https://instagram.com/souldoutandunleashed
On today's episode, we talk about what purpose can mean and how it can serve (or detract) from us living in the now and being happy in the moment. The term I introduce is Micro Purpose, and I share my thoughts on how we can still find a Micro Purpose that serves us on a day to day level without worrying about having to tell others our ‘big story' or ‘capital P' Purpose.
I sit down with Ben Fritz, life coach. Ben shares his story of how he started down the traditional university and corporate career (engineering) track and transitioned to a career as a life coach, finding fulfillment and helping empower others to find their superpower and live their purpose. Among many other things, Ben discusses his approach when first working with people of starting by “finding the bread crumbs,” i.e. piecing together those past pieces from your life that were true representations of who you are vs. what others have been projecting onto you. Find Ben on Instagram @benjamin.m.fritz (https://instagram.com/benjamin.m.fritz) and check out Ben's podcast, Why the World Needs You (https://spoti.fi/2Rvx2g4)
I sit down with Leanne Venier, Artist and Pioneer in the Science of Light Therapy and Color Therapy. We discuss the healing power of red light (specifically the frequencies of light in the REDjuvenator device created by Leanne) and sunlight (in combination with nature) on charging our batteries up from an energetic standpoint. Leanne drops some SERIOUS knowledge which may just reshape the way you view diagnosing and treating illness, stress, and pain holistically integrating an understanding of our physical body AND energetic body. We also discuss the energetic body and its relationship to the physical body, the eastern medicine model of healing which incorporates an understanding of the energetic body, and the amazing power that red light (specifically from the REDjuvenator device created by Leanne) has in restoring this system. Go to catalyticcolor.com to check out Leanne's signature light therapy device, the REDjuvenator.
I sit down with Michelle Alva, Sex, Love and Intimacy Coach. We talk about recognizing if we carry shame towards our sexual energy and power and how to start taking steps to reconnect to ourselves. Michelle shares her journey on releasing that shame, claiming her energy, and moving into a life of empowerment helping guide others to discover their same sexual power. Among many other things, we also discuss the importance of connection in the act of sex and how ‘casual' sex may not be as aligned with our biological wiring as we (well, some of us) may think. Michelle has such a diverse, rich background which includes physical therapy, hypnosis, NLP, Time Dynamics, tantra, integrative yoga therapy, sound healing, PSYCH-K, mindfulness-based meditation, belly dance, and shamanism. Michelle created the ALVA method (Activate Love Vibrate Abundance), a mindset-energy approach which is a process of self-discovery that integrates both modern science and ancient wisdom practices to educate and empower individuals on how to reset and calm their nervous system, heal from emotional pain in the body, and elevate one's energy to experience major healing with minor effort. Michelle created online programs and a movement Wild Women of Abundance, Yoni Power and Orgasmic Abundance, Deeper Connection: Intro to Tantra for Couples, and Abundant Pregnancy, to heal the world of sexual shame and guilt and empower individuals to be their own source of healing and transformation.

On today's episode, I share my definition on what feedback is, what it can look like (words, emotions, bodily sensations), and why it's useful to us. I also dive into my tips on how to filter out communication that may look like feedback but could actually be someone else projecting onto you. And finally I give the secret to curating amazing feedback. Hint: it starts with just being open, curious, and courageous.
I kick off season two by talking about how being in a state of play is actually productive... for yourself! I also share my experience with not feeling like I was enough and how productivity was, in a way, a part of masking my inner world. And finally, I talk about my thoughts on what productivity currently means in the sense of serving something external and what it could mean in the context of serving yourself.
