    Send us a textToday we begin Season 3. This season is dedicated to the youth. I will try to give examples that are helpful for different age ranges, but overall, the goal is to give some "guide rails" as Mel Robbins calls them. This means I want to give the youth a little advice. In the same way I speak life into my children and my students, I want to do for a greater audience. This episode is called "What type of person do you want to be?" We will talk about what I mean by this, how you can become aware and take control of your life, and how you can set yourself up for success in life in different areas. Growing up, I didn't really understand the power of decision making and the ways that I could help my future self. Now I know, and now I get to empower whomever is listening.

    Send us a textThe season two finale is here! Today we talk about men. This is a loaded topic and I tried my best describe my own experience in how my perspective on men has changed immensely in the last several years. This topic is very vulnerable for me and though uncomfortable, truly allows me to embody that vulnerability and hopefully set an example on the process of making changes within that create an outward, positive impact on humankind. The best part? It really all comes down to that Golden Rule. Enjoy!

Struggle is an inevitable part of life and it's something that we can partner with to catalyze our personal development and mental discipline. Growing in wisdom comes from the way we learn through life and the way we choose to set our perspectives towards growth. An anchoring quote: "The tree does not resist the wind, it sways with it."

Holidays can be tough on many, some people have tumultuous interactions, some have years of drama or trauma, and some of us are so exhausted. No matter how you experience it, we all have a responsibility to be a light and to be a positive part of the interwoven community we are in.

We talk about conscientious, intentional habit development versus being a shapeshifter in life in order to manipulate outcomes. PHEW!

    Send us a Text Message.Evolution is the path of life. This week we discuss the myths we understand as truths about how to move through life. We talk about the path of life being a candy land board with rollercoaster tendencies and road blocks, and that is how it should be. We talk to leaning in and embracing the challenges of life as they truly allow us to grow and evolve and become wiser. Everyone has their own life path that includes their own evolution on their own terms, and that is a beautiful thing.

I have evolved into a person I am so proud of, I manage my stress and anxiety, and I get to share the light of how this can transform a person's life just by existing and allowing people to see the way I move through life. Health and fitness are accessible to everyone, and the benefits are endless.

    Send us a Text Message.In this radical episode about respecting people you might not love to be around, you will hear me share some (what I believe to be) much needed guidance and perspective on co-parenting and ways to navigate the landscape of this lifestyle. You are still a wonderful parent even if you aren't with your child's parent. Your child's other parent deserves respect and regard. Your child deserves to see two parents who can interact well, and regardless of your feelings, your child deserves to see YOU being a good person, supporting the other parent (reasonably, not completely), and making them see what a good relationship looks like Your kid(s) deserve it.

    A Person People Don't Have to Heal From

    Play Episode Listen Later May 29, 2024 31:00


    We start season two with something I have been acutely focused on the last year or so- becoming a person that isn't causing strife, stress, negativity, or trauma to my children or anyone around me. With the softness that I believe is necessary to move through life, there also exists the highest standard of becoming our best self. This standard is bigger than us, and it exists to hold ourselves accountable for the person we are becoming. In a world where acceptance is always required, I urge you to look at what you are asking or forcing others to accept. It's like that quote "If they can't handle me at my worst, they don't deserve my best" but it's really like "why give the people you love the worst of you?" Happy listening! 

    Episode 12: Alignment

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 11, 2024 38:25


    Today we talk about being aligned and what that means. We spend some time connecting alignment to being mindful and aware, and we talk about the juxtaposition between the pace of society and what we truly need as human beings: the time and space to become aware of self and to develop this crucial element of self-awareness. We talk about where our control lies as individuals and the role of discipline in the flow of life. We talk about what it looks and feels like to be aligned or "on the right path" and I also share some personal experiences from my own journey with alignment! 

    Episode 11: Matching Energy

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 4, 2024 14:22


    Today we talk about the current relational trend of "matching energy." This is when we essentially mirror back to someone the same type of behavior, attitude,  investment, that they are displaying to us. This phenomenon has created a very hands-off and detached type of connection where we work so hard to avoid addressing and embracing how we really feel. Realizing that we have a lot of power to actually shift energy, rather than just "matching" it, will lead us into more authentic and powerful connections. As individuals, we have so potential to positively impact, even within our interpersonal relationships. In this episode, you will be encouraged to see a new perspective of individual positive influence. 

    Episode 10: Confidence

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 26, 2024 27:51


    In this episode, we talk about knowing self and how the knowing of self and who we are allows us to develop and posses a truer confidence. Moving through life in this age of influx of content creation, societal expectations, and the focus on what we "should" be doing in life, it's harder than ever to develop an organic sense of self that comes from within rather than being influenced by any external forces (people, society, social media, career expectations, etc.) If we don't know who we are and what we care about most, we can't truly stand on our own two feet and choose that allegiance to ourselves. In a heavily curated life, true authenticity and organic connection is what many of us are after.

    Episode 9: Mindfulness

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 19, 2024 41:12


    Today we talk about what it means to be mindful and present and how we can get in control of our thoughts and mind. So often, we find ourselves at the mercy of circumstances or the influence of others. It's no wonder we feel out of control and not at peace and aren't sure where to begin. In this episode, we share some practical information and tools to begin your journey of becoming more present and aware of the way you are thinking. With this growing ability, it will open doors to creating a life that is more aligned. 

    Episode 8: Parenthood

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 12, 2024 34:16


    Today we talk, very unscripted, about parenthood. Parenthood has come up many times in conversations with listeners and it always something that we could use some soft guidance on. Parenting in this new society is tough, it has evolved so quickly that we haven't had much time to get a grip on our own personal beliefs, nevermind how we want to navigate parenting children who are growing up during these times. I think it's a testament to parenting that we care so much and want to get it right, but with that, we also need to be gracious with ourselves. Through this episode, I share some thoughts on children, parenting, our role as parents, our relationship with our children, and also our relationship with ourselves as parents. 

    Episode 7: Love Yourself

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 4, 2024 35:02


    Today we talk about the way we can develop self-love. Along the path of healing, it can be difficult to know where to begin. We talk about initiating a positive relationship with ourselves by embracing and accepting who we are, giving ourselves permission to evolve and grow, and being gracious and showing unconditional love inwardly. This is the entire foundation for healing and once that's in place, you will see the world in such a different way, and you deserve it.

    Trigger Warning: Suicide, Suicidal IdeationThis week I share with you one of the greatest messages I have had the privilege to live through and to be able to share. Mental Health is one of my greatest passions as I have lived through some of the lowest lows and feel uniquely qualified to share a little about my own struggle, some reflections, and the way I live now that includes an immense feeling of gratitude. If you have struggled to understand mental health, the idea of suicide, or how a person can feel "at that point" this is a great episode to broaden your perspective. If you are a person struggling, I hope this gives you hope. If you are any human walking this earth, I hope that this will touch your heart and encourage you to choose love and hold the people you love more closely. If this is hard for you to hear because you know me, I thank you for embracing my vulnerability and allowing me to share my story. My favorite thing about my life is that I get to use it to help others. 

    Episode 5: Receiving Love

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 7, 2024 30:16


    Today we talk about our expectations for receiving love and the ways we can look at receiving love differently. We often have expectations on what it should look and feel like to receive love, where it should come from, and when it should happen. When we do this we can stop ourselves from experiencing the full spectrum of love and the ways it can find us.

    Today we talk about considering a different perspective in times of uncertainty or when things just aren't going how we want them to or moving as quickly as we would like. We talk about how we sometimes define our life and look at where time in life is actually spent and all of the goodness that is present there.

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 3, 2024 29:13


    Today we talk about setting goals and making progress. We understand that this looks differently for everyone. For me, time constraints haven't always proven to be helpful and have sometimes caused me a feeling of failure. Understanding that moving in the direction of the person we want to become is much more important than your speed in doing so. You don't need to prove anything to anyone, but you absolutely owe yourself enough respect and love to realize your own worth and to honor yourself. God is within you, meaning you possess a spirit of love, compassion, mountain moving, and miracle making. Yes, you. Now go be great! Link to Illogical by Emmanuel Acho https://a.co/d/0L3Anpz
