In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, Ashley Hamilton joined me once again to record our second episode in a series. We are breaking down old programming beliefs and finding ways to replace them with new ideas.Last week's episode had to do with the school system. This week, however, we delved into the misconceptions surrounding parenting and the belief systems that have been passed down through generations. We discussed the importance of early childhood development, the challenges of discipline, and the significance of understanding emotions and communication in parenting. Ashley and I go kinda deep into the idea that just because the child is younger in years doesn't mean they don't understand our energy as adults. If we can take an extra minute to be intentional, meltdowns and arguments can be headed off.Check out this episode for an insightful conversation to heal yourself and then also your connection with any child in your life.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

This episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast was an interesting one. I had my friend Ashley Hamilton (a proud parent of twin three-year-olds) again. We have been talking privately for a while about programming we were 'sold' surrounding parenting as well as the education system. We finally felt like it was time to take it to the podcast. We thought, that if we felt this way, there must be others who do as well. Today's episode is the first episode in a series. We covered what we believe to be parts of education that are broken and then ideas to possibly fix them. We fully realize that we are just two opinions out of the many pertaining to the education system, but if we don't start having the hard discussions then how can any real change ever happen?If you enjoy our discussion stay tuned for more in the series. We are looking to find all the holes in societal beliefs that might not be sitting well with many of you.

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I talked with a very special guest, Susie Miller. She is an integration specialist, author, and so much more. Susie discusses her transformative experiences with children diagnosed with autism, particularly focusing on the concept of light bodies and telepathy. The conversation explores the integration of these light bodies with physical bodies, the unique perspectives of nonverbal children, and the impact of trauma on children's ability to communicate. Susie talks about some specific things that parents can do to help their children feel more regulated and calm. A huge part for children to feel regulated is having the parents do healing work on themselves. Our children are mirroring back to us where we are out of balance.This conversation was a game changer. Our biggest teachers in life are children and it's beautiful to see how healing can be effective for all members of a family.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​Ways to find Suzy Miller:Instagram: ​@suzymiller444​Website: ​suzymiller.com​Check out the ​SHOP​ page on my website!

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I talk all about a conversation I had with my daughter. During this conversation, I slowly started to realize that I have a tangible system I use to help myself and others through our triggers. My daughter who is a young teen was telling me about her day in high school and how it is becoming a pattern in her days. I discussed the importance of recognizing triggers, understanding the Hermetic principles, and engaging in inner child work to heal unresolved emotions.I then emphasized that life is a continuous learning experience, where our external world reflects our internal state. By addressing these patterns and emotions, we can achieve a sense of wholeness and balance in our lives. Listen to this week's episode to hear practical steps to understanding your own hidden triggers.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, Ashley Hamilton and I sat down again to review some results we uncovered from a challenge we came up with two weeks ago. We decided to experiment with being intentional with putting some new subconscious beliefs in our minds. By doing that we were/are hoping to manifest a few different things. We discussed our personal experiences with trying to implement new habits, the impact of childhood beliefs on adult behavior, and the challenges of integrating affirmations into our daily lives. The conversation also touches on the influence of social media, the concept of the Mandela Effect, and the importance of self-awareness and healing in personal growth. After the recap of our findings and the ways we plan to make adjustments, we then talked a little about my children's class that is coming up. The earlier we start to learn how to override old stories in our subconscious with new and better ones the easier our life will become. I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I shared a personal story about a conversation I had with my son regarding the balance of masculine and feminine energies, particularly in the context of youth sports and coaching styles. I didn't know the conversation was going to go in that direction but it did. I ended up reflecting on the difference between the two student teaching placements I had when I was a senior in college. After my first placement, I thought I had wasted money and time for four years in college because I couldn't teach the way my placement teacher was teaching. She was very stuck in fear and toxic masculine energy (this was the connection I was making with my son and his coach). It wasn't until I had my second placement that I realized there was a different way of gaining the respect of the students. Not only could this 'new way' be used in teaching, but it could also be used in all aspects of my life. The teacher for my second placement (who is now my sister-in-law) showed me what balanced masculine and feminine energies looked like. We are often taught how to grip and "make things happen." I learned many years ago with the guidance of a wonderful mentor that not only is it okay but it's necessary to be vulnerable in front of others. I learned there is always another way to "get what we want." A way that doesn't deplete our energy tanks and keeps us vibing higher so we can radiate more joy into the world. I hope this podcast provides you with a great example of balance and understanding on how there is always another way. I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to find me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

In this episode of The Wellness Matters podcast, Ashley and I delve into the intricate dynamics between the subconscious and conscious mind, exploring how these two aspects of our psyche influence our thoughts, beliefs, and, ultimately, our reality. We discuss the importance of understanding the subconscious mind's role in healing, manifestation, and the impact of early programming from parents.In the second half of the podcast we switched gears to talk about an experiement we wanted to try...a challenge if you will. Ashley and I are setting up a new story in our subconscious mind that is positive and setting us up for a better life. Ashley's new story is that her body is healthy. She has suffered from various health issues since she was a teen. I would like to create a story in my subconscious that whole heartedly KNOWS that all aspects of myself are now integrated. The shadow sides, the light sides, and everything in between so I can radiate my brightest life force energy.If you are feeling called to join us on this challenge here are the criteria we have come up with:Set up at least 7 alarms to go off on your phone throughout your day. This is used to be a pattern disruption through your day to help you come back to the conscious moment and repeat your new mantra.Use your voice memos app and record about a 15 minute message repeating your new mantra. I created a few and just repeated them over and over. Listen to the 15 minute recording every night after you have wound down and are about to go to sleep. You want to get to the Theta brainwave which is how you create new stories in the subconscious mind.We also decided to limit our social media intake and anything else that might be lower vibrational. We want to keep our frequency up as much as we can control during this challenge. We plan to create a follow up podcast in a couple weeks but know we might need to keep it going longer.

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I discuss the Hermetic Principles and their application in a new course designed for children aged 7 to 12 I will be teaching at the end of February. I came home from my niece's basketball game one day and thought to myself that children need more explanation of well-being. They need real examples of how when life gets uncomfortable that it's okay and how to recognize all the new ways they are being stretched and growing.I also emphasize the importance of teaching emotional intelligence and the understanding of universal laws to help children navigate their feelings and experiences. Although I am talking about this children's course, it's still very benefical for the listener to hear this episode as I explain the Hermetic Principles in detail.

This week on The Wellness Matters Podcast I sat with such an amazing soul! Her name is Erica Cordeiro. She walks us through her traumatizing childhood, which included her dropping out of school at the age of 12 and running away, only to later end up in prison at the age of 22! These life challenges would have knocked anyone down but not Erica. Sure she had moments of doubt but she didn't sit in them long because she has been lighting the world on fire from the moment she was released from prison.This conversation is a game changer for everyone. To top off the best conversation, Erica, who is also a channeler, decided to channel my higher self during the podcast. To say I was moved is an understatement. What a gift Erica is to the world. Happy listening.

SummaryThis week on The Wellness Matters Podcast, I had a personal conversation with a long time friend of mine, Ashley Hamilton. I thought it would be nice to have Ashely on because she recently went through a spiritual awakening. I had her ask me some beginner-type questions about spirituality because, honestly, I have been studying and living this life long enough where I sometimes forget what the beginning felt like. It was a fun and interesting way to conduct our conversation. We talked about topics like: Why people may hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey. The difference between religion and spirituality.The shadow side of spirituality.Soul contracts.TakeawaysThe fear of judgment and the belief that one doesn't have enough time are common reasons why people hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey.Religion and spirituality are different, with spirituality emphasizing going within and reclaiming one's power.Discernment is key in spirituality, as individuals need to determine what feels right for them and what doesn't.The spiritual journey involves shadow work and navigating the dark aspects of oneself, but it also leads to growth and transformation.Finding balance and grounding oneself are important in maintaining a healthy spiritual practice. Soul contracts involve choosing challenging life experiences for the purpose of growth and learning.During times of emotional intensity, it is important to practice grounding and self-care.Each person's spiritual journey is unique, and it is not necessary to leave behind loved ones who may not be on the same path.Introducing mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing, to children can help them regulate their emotions and develop self-awareness.Allowing each person to follow their own spiritual journey is essential, as everyone has their own unique path.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to follow me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​

SummaryTrish Mock, founder of Good Psyche, joined me on the Wellness Matters podcast to discuss the use of medicinal plants and fungi for overall well-being. Trish's inspiration comes from her mother, who practices herbalism and traditional Chinese medicine on their regenerative herb farm. We discussed the importance of regenerative farming and its impact on the nutrient content of plants.

Trish created Good Psyche to make Kanna and other plants more accessible and developed products like Sidekick, a euphoric mouth spray, and Glisten Up, a hydrating facial mist. TakeawaysMedicinal plants and fungi can bring balance to the body and have a positive impact on overall quality of life.Regenerative farming focuses on evaluating each parcel of land and restoring it to a state of homeostasis, resulting in healthier and more nutrient-rich plants.The Western healthcare system often fails to address the unique needs of women and relies on a profit-driven model.Psychedelics, when used responsibly, can have positive effects on mental and emotional health, but caution should be exercised and professional guidance is recommended.

SummaryIn this week's episode of The Wellness Matters podcast I decided to piggy back off of my last podcast about soul contracts. I was on a hike with my dogs recently and received a loud message to help make parents understand that they are doing great and are exactly what their child was looking for. I discuss the concept of soul contracts and how it relates to parenting and explain that soul contracts are agreements made in the soul realm before coming to Earth, where souls choose their parents and the experiences they want to have. I emphasize that parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are, and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing. I also encourage parents to stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be. I remind parents that their children are their teachers and that they signed a contract with them to learn and grow together. At the end of the podcast I announced my upcoming creation of a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.TakeawaysChildren choose their parents and the experiences they want to have through soul contracts.Parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing.Parents should stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be.Children are the teachers of their parents and both parties signed a contract to learn and grow together.I am creating a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.I appreciate your support!If you feel called to support the podcast, leave a review on Spotify ​here​ or Apple ​here​…And if you know someone who would benefit from this episode…Consider forwarding them this email.Other ways to follow me:Instagram: ​wellness_matters_tribe​Facebook: ​wellness matters​Website:​ wellnessmatterstribe.com​My book: ​The Missing Piece​
