DS Johnson-Mills is an author with a unique talent for capturing the complexities of love and human connection. Her debut romance novel, "Choosing Me," delves into the intricate dance of relationships through the lens of an unapologetically American and beautifully flawed protagonist, Dylan.Dylan possesses a superpower that sets her apart—a boundless capacity to love unconditionally. Once she opens her heart to someone, that love endures, unwavering even in the face of adversity. This remarkable trait forms the core of Dylan's character, painting her as a beacon of unwavering devotion in a world where love often falters.Caught in a heart-wrenching tug-of-war between Toby and Markus, Dylan's affections are not easily won. Both men must prove themselves worthy of her love, for she recognizes the value of her own heart. This choice is not just Dylan's, but a test of the depths of their devotion.In a world where decisions are rarely clear-cut, life often takes the reins. For Dylan, the unexpected is the norm. Within her world, she finds herself in the extraordinary position of keeping both men close, navigating a love that defies convention and expectations.DS Johnson-Mills' "Choosing Me" invites readers on a journey through the intricate tapestry of love, where the heart's desires are not always bound by convention. With prose that is both tender and evocative, Johnson-Mills crafts a narrative that lingers, leaving an indelible mark on the reader's soul. "Choosing Me" is not merely a romance novel, but an exploration of the enduring power of love in its purest, most unconditional form. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Given this time of year and the fact that diet culture vultures are swarming, Molly wants to help you to access your wisdom so you don't fall victim to the marketing. You don't need to make a choice out of urgency and anyone that tells you otherwise, does not have your best interest at heart. Relationships with coaches are transactional and they should be working for you and wanting what is truly best for you, but that is not always the case. To heal your relationship with food, you don't have to spend one more minute with someone that isn't serving you. Molly emphasizes that your love for yourself has to be greater than you fear of disappointing someone, such as a coach or even a family member that wants you to eat something that doesn't align with you. Molly's goal in this episode is to help you be informed and prepared, and not fall into the traps that are abundant right now. If you fall into the trap, Molly isn't going anywhere but she provides guidance on how to not fall into them and how to choose someone to work with that will help you align with your highest self. If you need help, there are so many good people that can help you, but the problem is a lot of people are treating from their trauma. You want to make sure that the healer is healed themselves before they can help you. Molly wants you to be more thoughtful about where you are getting help and know that you can fire people that are not making you feel good about yourself and your relationship with food. Diet culture is at it's height today and it's here to take your money and keep you trapped in the diet cycle. One criteria to ask yourself when looking for someone to help is: “Are they looking to keep me in their cycle forever?” The goal should be to give you the tools you need to make it a sustainable lifestyle that doesn't have you feeling deprived and miserable. After the holidays people are feeling bad about their food decisions, and the diet culture vultures will say they are here to save you, but you need a guide, not a savior. Listen in to hear how to find the right guide for you. Episode Quotes: “I want you to feel free to fire someone that doesn't make you feel good about yourself.” “Validation isn't about kindness, it is about truth, and there are kind ways to tell the truth.” Key Highlights Your relationships with coaches is transactional and they should work for you  Molly's criteria for looking for help How real and sustainable change works Don't fall for marketing that feels urgent and uses language such as “only one spot left!” Molly invites you to join Intensati and choose yourself  Connect with Molly: Happy 2023!!!

With January 1 right around the corner, that means the diet culture vultures are coming out and are ready to prey on people that want a quick fix for weight reduction. This episode with Michelle Shapiro will help arm you so that you don't fall into that and know that you are in power of your own healing. Molly admits to having a compromised relationship with nutritionists due to most of them believing that a “one-size-fits-all” approach of intuitive eating is the answer when in reality, it is more complex than that. Michelle Shapiro is an integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian and Patient Advocate and she agrees that the issue with the intuitive eating movement and diet culture, in general, is that it is not focusing on the specific needs of an individual.  While the principles of Intuitive eating are based on great intentions, that doesn't mean that it will work for everyone. It gets tricky when we try to discern between intuition and emotion, and a lot of us are unable to make the distinction. For those with gut issues or chronic illness, it is not as simple as just being able to tune into intuition to make food choices.  Michelle explains the philosophy of “Internal Family Systems” and the idea that we have separate parts of ourselves that speak to us, and while those parts have our physical safety in mind, it is important to know whether the part speaking to us is our true self or just a part that wants us to be safe.  As Molly and Michelle go through each of the 10 principles of intuitive eating, they explain that while the overall goal is great, the question becomes, is this approach focusing on the individual's needs or just telling us this is the only way? Our approach to food and our body should be one that is individualized based on our own unique needs. That is why it is important to work with someone that is invested in getting to the root cause of any mental or physical issues you are experiencing. The goal is to approach health changes in a loving manner and in a way that addresses your own unique needs and is of your own desire.  Episode Quote: “Being able to focus on intuitive eating as the first line of defense is a privilege for people that aren't sick.” - Michelle Shapiro Connect with Michelle:  Websites: getanxietyproof.com | michelleshapirord.com Instagram: @michelleshapirord I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

Today's podcast guest, registered dietitian Dr. Heather Finley, joins Molly to have a discussion about gut health. As a result of learning about the connection between the gut and other parts of the body and mind, Dr. Finley was able to overcome the chronic bloating and constipation she experienced for 20 years. Towards the beginning of her healing journey, there was little knowledge about how the gut works and no one was able to pinpoint the cause of her symptoms. Our understanding of digestive health has evolved and we now understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset have a direct impact on it. When we talk about the gut, we need to consider the whole body. Our narratives about the foods we should consume to maintain a healthy gut have led many of us to resort to restrictive diets. However, as we'll discuss in this episode, gut health is not about what you shouldn't eat, it's about what you should. Your microbiome benefits from a diverse diet, and there's a lot more to gut health than your food choices. This episode will explore the gut-brain connection, how anxiety influences the gut, the myths surrounding the gut, what normal bowel health looks like, and what the gut actually does. As Dr. Finley explains, a healthy gut is much less about doing more and cutting out foods, but rather about getting back to basics and creating a solid foundation for optimal gut health. You can pre-order Dr. Finley's upcoming book The Healthy, Happy Gut Cookbook here. Key Highlights: Heather's origin story and how she healed her gut Gut-brain connection How bacteria helps us fight illnesses Improving your gut health can make generational change How stress and anxiety affect your gut health What is normal bowel health? Bloating: Causes, what is normal, and what is not normal Gut health requires a solid foundation What impact does water consumption have on gut health? The impact of alcohol and sugar alcohols on gut health How functional health can more efficiently heal your body Episode Quotes: By improving your gut health, you actually can create generational change. - Dr. Finley Taking supplements could help you, but if you're not sleeping, if you're not eating and balancing your blood sugar, if you're not hydrating optimally … if you're not doing all these things then the supplements, everything you're doing for your gut health is not going to be as effective. - Dr. Finley I'm FULLY committed to having you stay LIGHT and AFLOAT during the Bermuda Triangle aka Holiday Season!

You know the saying that our relationships are some of our biggest teachers? Truth. And today, as we go through this major time of transformation and change, we can either embrace our relationships as ways to heal, so we can create realities based in wholeness instead of woundedness... or we can keep re-creating the same wounded patterns, acting them out over and over.  I vote for embracing our power, and taking a look at what is going on in our relationships right now. To shine the light on what is going on in your heart right now when it comes to your closest relationships - the ones you struggle with, the ones from the past that are still lingering on, the ones that bring you support and joy and want to grow and the ones that you desire to create that don't exist yet. If we want a world, a society, systems and ways of thinking, that are rooted in respect, love, kindness, compassion we have to look within and at our own relationships too.  All lasting systemic and social change must be rooted in personal transformation and healing. Which is one of the reasons we have not broken through as a society, yet, through what is clearly so not working.  What would be possible if the relationships you had currently came from wholeness vs. your wounds?  What if your relationships didn't have to be things you worked on or worked out or figured out? What if you could learn and evolve through love, vs pain and drama?  What would be freed up for you if you could let go of any of the lingering resentment or righteousness between you and others?  What would be opened up within you if the relationships or kinds of relationships that typically are challenging and painful for you, became sources of learning through joy vs. struggle?  You would have a lot more energy, time, clarity, support, and connection. I know this to be true because for 20 years I have embraced relationships as a teacher for me.  In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #2 of 3 in the Power of Love Series, we focus on the power of relationship. I invited one of my "teachers" to join us -  the man who has taught me how to learn through love vs. pain in my primary partnership. He is my life partner Noah Martin, who is also an amazing relationship adviser and a human that just gets relationship and how to be in it powerfully.  In The Power of Sacred Relationship to Heal & Free Yourself and the World we'll dive into: The triangle of transformation - how to think about and see what's happening in your relationships and find the power to both heal what is and has been, and create what you desire.  What real partnership is, why you don't want a romantic relationship, and how the mainstream imprints have create unhealthy mindset about relationship How to identify where you might have plugged people into your love cracks, keeping you stuck in cycles of relationships that aren't healthy or happy How to identify your relationship teachers and transform them into vessels for your elevation and liberation How to release energetic ties of blame, shame, anger, resentment without condoning others behaviors (so you are freer). We'll dive deeper into the healing and freeing part of the triangle of transformation today because if we don't go there and get real about what it takes to truly return to hearts that are WHOLE vs full of HOLES, we will just keep recapitulating the same wounds in our lives, that then creates the society and systems we know are not working.  Lets use the power of love to do things differently! See you there.

Kacie Main released her debut book – I Gave Up Men for Lent, the story of a jaded, hopelessly romantic, health-conscious party girl’s search for meaning – earlier this year. She is the host of The Better You Podcast, which is dedicated to better understanding our relationship with ourselves. Born and raised in Florida, she enjoyed a successful career in the corporate world before leaving it all behind to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Kacie is a contributor for POPSUGAR and you can find her writing on Thought Catalog, Medium, and her own blog at kaciemain.com. She holds bachelor’s degrees in psychology and communications, and a master’s degree in business administration. She is blunt, honest, curious, and loves analyzing, writing about, and talking about the journey of life. Key Points from the Episode with Kacie Main: Kacie is an author and freelance writer, including her first book, I Gave Up Men for Lent, coaches people on book writing and publishing, and hosts a podcast called The Better You Podcast. 2017 was a life-changing year for Kacie. Before that, life was good. She had a good childhood and life in general. She was 32 and single, and didn’t have a strong, clear reason to be unhappy. There’s a theme that, if we don’t have anything wrong on paper, we don’t get to be justifiably unhappy. Kacie wasn’t depressed or anything, but describes it as being “Bleh.” Just nothing. She had been in some bad relationships in her 20s that she chose to stay in despite not being good situations (finding out she was the other woman, etc) In 2017, she became aware of this pattern where she was totally consumed with finding a relationship and having someone have interest in her. What she wasn’t focused on was whether she had any interest in them. She ended up going out with a guy friend who had a girlfriend (Kacie was friends with, too), they drank too much, and hooked up. She woke up from that with a clear view of where she was at in the wake of this happening. It was the start of Lent, so she decided to give up men for Lent (along with other things, like hard liquor, social media and sweets). One difference maker for Kacie in this creating a shift was around changing something big in her life. Aside from mindset, making the change a big one is part of why she was able to shift because it took so much clarity and effort, and couldn’t just be done casually. Kacie sees all of us in process – the process of life, of change, of learning. You can only ever be where you are, and the first step of making change is to sit in that moment of awareness, which may mean sitting there for a while. We are never going to do anything until we’re ready, and the nuances that turn us into being ready are super subtle, so we may need to give real time to our awareness of our current situation to get there. For her, it was a combination of factors - being in her 30s and single, plus all the pressure of others asking her about whether she’s seeing anyone, getting married, etc. She wasn’t passionate or connected to her career. Every part of her life was not fully connected. We tend to want to focus on one thing or one issue because one thing is easier than looking at all we’re unhappy about. Her Lent decision gave her the focus to address on major issue as part of working on shifting to living her life for her. She had been weighing what others wanted of her above what she wanted for herself. Getting caught up in people pleasing lead to living a life that wasn’t connected with who Kacie was. One thing she added to her days during Lent was to journal every day about what she was thinking and feeling. Journaling forces our mind to slow down and complete its thoughts rather than continuing on the fast, idea-switching we do all day. She happened to catch a motivational video her trainer at the gym was watching, and decided to finish it at home later that night. Another video came on that was all about what your purpose is. That hit Kacie hard - she had never thought about it or dug into what her purpose is. The next morning, she got up early to watch the sun rise on the beach, go for a walk and think about what her purpose is. That opened the doors up to really think about her life and what the meaning was. She swapped out motivational videos in place of the news in the morning while getting ready for work. She did walks alone on the beach, kept writing in her journal, and unknowingly started spending much more time with herself and her thoughts to work through things. She sort of fell into personal development. As a result, she just started to feel better when she did these things than the types of things she had been doing in her Blah life. She wasn’t intentional about any of it, but allowed herself to fall into or surrender to these things that felt good and helpful. Since nothing else seemed to work, she stopped trying to grow and just allowed things to happen. She stopped avoiding the things she had laughed at before. Kacie believes not approaching it intentionally or forcefully allowed more peace in it. With lots of intention, if she missed any of those actions, it may be hard to be ok with that, so you end up beating yourself up or feeling like you’re slipping. This helps avoid judging yourself when you “fail”, if such a thing even exists when you’re working on who you are. Just being aware of things can be progress in and of itself. Have a bottom-up approach to growth - allow whatever happened to have happened, digging into it trying to understand it and create that awareness of it. The 40 days wasn’t the solution, but instead was the awareness stage. After this came making change from a place of awareness and understanding. After Lent, Kacie took a break from drinking completely since alcohol had been tied to her past definition of herself as a party girl. The real change was the strong focus on the need to be married, have kids, be a wife, etc, because that’s what she’s supposed to do. That need was the root of why she looked at every man as the potential “One”, and push into being about him rather than seeing who she was and what she personally wanted. “Choosing Me” vs. “Worrying About Expectations.” She also worked on how she managed people vocalizing their expectations. Rather than railing against them, she was thankful for their concern and opinion, and still valued the course she was on. This included leaving her corporate job, where she had a lot of success and fit the mold of earning a good salary in a good job and having her stuff together. To leave that to be a freelancer, coach, author, etc definitely lead to raised eyebrows and questions about what she was doing. We live our lives so busy and doing that we don’t really have the quiet space to be quiet and be introspective. We spend lots of time analyzing other people, but don’t really turn that around on ourselves. And we are paying a price for that. The hardest thing for Kacie was to get over caring about what other people thought, and how that drove her actions. For example, she was a ‘party girl’ because she wanted people to like her and be popular. There are moments where she may miss being the cool, popular party girl, but she also realizes she wasn’t happy. It’s ok to miss her, but being that person doesn’t work for Kacie anymore. Or leaving her job, where she was in it because she wanted people to see her as a strong, independent woman. We tend to think “Either/Or.” Kacie sees life as “Both/And.” You can love who you are now and miss who you used to be at the same time. You don’t have to long for who you were and feel guilty for it. Or be glad you’re changed, and beat yourself up for how long it took or why you were ever like that.
