Welcome to our first ever guest episode! To start us off on the absolute best foot possible, we sat down with a phenomenal woman - a truth speaker, a wounded healer, and a courageous and bold modern wise woman - Candice Smiley, of Create the Ripple Podcast, to talk about living in authenticity, sharing your truth with courage and confidence, and being the change you wish to see in the world.  For those of you ready to dive deeper into a healing journey that leads to truth and authenticity, this episode is for you! TRIGGER WARNING - We discuss sexual assault, mental health, and domestic violence in this episode, so if that content isn't for you, please exercise your discretion with this episode. ** Connect with Erin Hodgson & Ellie Bell:  https://www.awakeningthewisewoman.com/ https://www.awakeningthewisewoman.com/podcasts/she-is-wise https://www.awakeningthewisewoman.com/blog/ https://www.facebook.com/awakeningthewisewoman https://www.instagram.com/awakeningthewisewoman/   ** “21 years ago I survived a sexual assault from my boyfriend.  14 years ago I decided not to kill myself.  11 years ago I was left with 350 k worth of bad debt.  9 years ago I walked away rather than endure sexual coercion and harassment from my boss. 7 years ago I welcomed my beautiful daughter into the world.  5 years ago I left my marriage to fall in love with myself. 3 years ago I allowed myself to fully heal and reconnect with my feminine;  2 years ago I rebuilt my life, moved into my own tiny home and found my Lifetime Love.  Last year, I started my podcast and welcomed my baby boy earth side." Candice is a mom, podcaster, social marketer and essentialist who loves to engage in interesting conversations with other influencers and entrepreneurs.  Her favourite conversations are the ones that take courage to engage in.  (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast)   She has learned the power of saying no, listening to your own heart and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in relationships - personally and professionally.   She's become a voice for listening to your own truth and speaking it clearly, powerfully - at home, at work and in your life.  She spends her time living - in a tiny home (250 sq ft), traveling, speaking and sharing candidly with others how to live life after betrayal, to trust themselves, to speak up for themselves and set powerful boundaries.    After a narcissistic partner cheated on her with multiple women, left her (and the country!) With over 350 thousand dollars worth of bad debt, Candice was forced to rebuild her life, her credit and her trust in herself. Coming out of this, she encountered her own “Me Too” moment dealing with sexual coercion and harassment in her professional life; saying no resulted in her being the target of gossip that tarnished her reputation.    Deeply affected by the gaslighting and the experiences, she adopted a minimalist lifestyle, leaned on her personal network and practiced radical personal forgiveness, acceptance and responsibility.  The journey was not without its impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety, depression, shame and learning to let go.   When grief rocked her world a little less than 2 years ago, Candice knew it was time to stop her life, hit the pause button and finally do the deep work to heal her heart, self and mindset.  Emerging from this place, Candice has begun to embrace her fierce and receptive feminine nature.  The journey to be and embrace all the parts of herself has led her to the place to start her wildly successful Create the Ripple Podcast; Trust the Niggle and Tell the Truth - where she features other amazing guests who are not afraid to do the hard work of personal development, listen to their own minds/heart and then speak up and out for those things that matter; to themselves and to make a difference in the world.   Candice loves her essentialist lifestyle for the beauty and freedom it offers her.  She can never resist the urge to take off her boots to walk barefoot into a clear mountain lake or stream. When she is not connecting or writing, she can be found disappearing into the backcountry trails of Canada with her life-love Mark and losing herself exploring waterfalls and mountain trails. She is a quiet introvert who adores eating clean foods and reading a great book.     For Website and Social Links: https://candicesmiley.carrd.co/   DISCLOSURE: I USE MY WEBSITE  AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO CREATE THE INCOME THAT SUPPORTS MY LIFESTYLE.

You are a wise woman. You have within you all the knowing you need... we tend to forget this or in some cases have this part of ourselves knocked out of us. Erin, Ellie and I wander through conversation that will wake you up and remind you, it is safe for you to know your true self, show up as that self every day and that the world needs you to show up to and for yourself - for such a time as this.  ** “The value that we have right now is in honoring ourselves, honoring what our souls are telling us is necessary for us to be the change. For us to step up and embrace our feminine power.” -Erin Hodgson  Ellie Bell: Is a certified life coach who uses her intuition to empower and support women to build unshakable confidence in themselves. She works with successful heart-centered women to navigate their journey of self-discovery; her approach incorporates her coachability, shadow work, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other healing modalities. She believes that in order to find wholeness, there needs to be an acknowledgment of the parts of us that are not deemed acceptable by society; there needs to be a willingness to uncover the wounds and scars we gain during life; to understand the impact they have on our sense of being, and the opportunities that open up when you're ready to up-level your life. Ellie works with clients to help them stop looking for external validation and understand that they have all they need within themselves. Ellie had a successful career in sports administration for over 12 years which included roles such as head of marketing and comms and event director at Cricket World Cup. She's originally from the UK and moved to New Zealand in 2013 for her role with CWC15 where she met her now-husband. Much of the work she does today is inspired by her wish to create a better world for her two daughters. Erin Hodgson: For almost 38 years of my life, I had little awareness of the importance of spirituality, engaging with the natural world, and embracing the feminine and elemental energies inside me.   At 38, my spiritual awakening was long overdue, yet very unexpected. Until that point, I believed that intellect, action, and power were the keys to success. I had spent years striving, failing, pushing for more, and finding myself increasingly unsatisfied by any of it.   When I discovered the power of understanding that I am a spiritual being, having a human experience and that everything is energy, I began to realise just how little I actually knew of myself and who I am at my core. The more I delved into that awareness and started to explore what it looked like for me, the more I felt a growing sense of ease and calm, at a deep soul level. I began to connect with my intuition, with spirit, with the energies that allow me to co-create a different reality for myself.I learned about healing through working with ancestors, past lives, akashic records, body testing, and more. I learned how to expand and grow through embracing my connection to natural cycles, the four elements of fire, earth, air, and water, and the sacred feminine. While learning more about who I am, as a spiritual being, I have spent hours unpacking my belief systems, the learned behaviours and programs that come from generations of women being undervalued and held back, from a society that heavily favours the masculine, from oppressive systems designed by men to ensure a society that thrives upon power, inequality, and competition. As I navigated the necessary healing and releasing of some of those wounds, I found myself in a position of true power, internal power, with the capacity to share my new truth with others and, in turn, encourage them to engage their curiosity and find their own truth.

Be honest, Rockstar, how often do you prioritize filling your own cup?  If you answered, “not nearly often enough.” I get it because I've been there. As ambitious women, we often operate the masculine energy that motivates us to push and take action.  But, what I've found to be true is that if you want to serve others in the best way, you have to prioritize yourself. And while you know I'm all about taking action, I've learned that if you want to allow creative and abundance to flow to you freely, you have to strike a balance between masculine and feminine energy.  Now, if you're asking, “What in the heck is feminine energy?”  You're in luck with today's episode!  Today, I'm bringing on empowerment coach Ellie Bell and spiritual healer Erin Hodgson of Awakening the Wise Woman. Listen in as they share their wisdom on tapping into feminine energy and aligning with the universe so that we can start finding more self-compassion, flow, and balance as we work to crush our goals for 2022.  Connect with Ellie and Erin: Awakening the Wise Woman: https://awakeningthewisewoman.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakeningthewisewoman/  Connect with Steph: Apply for The Authority Brands Framework Training: https://theweberco.com/application Read about our programs here: https://theweberco.com/all-programs

"Be open to it looking different for you" Healing can be hard. Sometimes we carry trauma inside us that isn't ours. It was passed down by our society, or Grandparents or our parents. How can we heal that? This week on the podcast I'm chatting with Erin Hodgson about exactly that. She shares how she embraced her journey and how we can all learn to do so. Erin shares that asking ourselves about what feels true, what feels right can help us learn how to listen to our inner self.

‘Tis the season for holiday gatherings! While it's the most wonderful time of the year, the social gatherings can quickly go from fun to stressful if we don't have solid boundaries in place.  That's why, today, we are talking with Ellie Bell and Erin Hodgson, the two behind Awakening the Wise Woman. Ellie and Erin discuss realizing when you need to define boundaries, how any why you need to set boundaries, and tips on getting through the holidays (and life in general) stress-free and with boundaries in place.

Today, Matt and Erin talk about current pest activity in Iowa. Specifically, the last week was very hot (>90 degrees) and that isn't conducive for soybean aphid growth. So no new detection since the last podcast (but not surprised because aphids don't do well under consistently hot temps). Also, some alfalfa farmers are starting to see potato leafhopper injury. Matt heard about early twospotted spider mite injury in Illinois and that is a concern for extended hot and dry periods. Southeastern Iowa is abnormally dry right now and so be looking for initial spider mite infested along edge rows. Mite injury should not be confused with herbicide injury that is also starting to show up in some soybean fields. Finally, Erin and Matt talk about Pollinator Fest displays at Reiman Gardens. Erin will have the kids make Wikki Stik insects and Matt has prepared a honey tasting station.   Potato leafhopper (Photo by Marlin Rice) and classic "hopper burn" (Photo by Purdue Extension).

Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal return to talk about insect pests of soybean in Iowa and the greater midwest. On today's episode, the return of the soybean aphid, the japanese beetles and a variety of uncommon insects that feed on soybean plants and other crops (stink bugs, celery leaf tier, and colapspis beetles).

This week, Erin Hodgson talks about confirming soybean aphid in Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. 

Drs. Matt O'Neal and Erin Hodgson discuss current soybean aphid activity around Iowa and the region. Numbers are remaining low with some regions declining in density. They also discuss upcoming field tours (available at www.aep.iastate.edu).

Erin Hodgson talks about recent aphid populations and also some interesting defoliators in soybean. 

Drs. Matt O'Neal and Erin Hodgson are back with their weekly podcast regarding the soybean aphid and other insect pests of soybeans.  In this brief (~3min) episode we talk about the state of soybean aphids in Iowa and the midwest with a quick review of efforts to monitor aphid migration to soybeans. Please email us with your questions (oneal@iastate.edu or ewh@iastate.edu)

Matt O'Neal talks with Amy Asmus of Asmus Farm Supply to discuss outbreaks of aphids in cornfields around north-central Iowa.  The two discuss what species of aphids are in corn and what impact they may have. Be prepared for more questions than answers as the scientist and crop consultant compare notes about this problem. For a more complete description of the aphids see Dr. Erin Hodgson's article in the Integrated Crop Management Newsletter (www.extension.iastate.edu/CropNews/2009/0807hodgson.htm)

For the week of July 27, 2009, Drs. Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal review reports and data on soybean aphid populations from Iowa and the midwest. Although large populations can be found, many growers are reporting low populations with less than 50% of the plants infested with aphids. Also, Erin discusses reports of soybean defoliation by insect pests that are not aphids.

For the week of July 20, 2009, Drs. Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal discuss the state of aphid populations in Iowa.  Aphids are now well established in many fields but at low populations.  We discuss factors that can contribute to the likelihood of an outbreak.  Also, Erin and Matt make a joke about aphid perspiration.

In this edition, Dr. Erin Hodgson is introduced. She is the new assistant professor in the Department of Entomology at ISU with extension and research responsibilities focused on corn and soybean production. Dr. Hodgson's Ph.D. was spent studying the soybean aphid and how best to scout for it. She describes some of the work she is doing this summer, helping growers manage insect pests in soybean fields.

Today, Matt and Erin talk about current pest activity in Iowa. Specifically, the last week was very hot (>90 degrees) and that isn't conducive for soybean aphid growth. So no new detection since the last podcast (but not surprised because aphids don't do well under consistently hot temps). Also, some alfalfa farmers are starting to see potato leafhopper injury. Matt heard about early twospotted spider mite injury in Illinois and that is a concern for extended hot and dry periods. Southeastern Iowa is abnormally dry right now and so be looking for initial spider mite infested along edge rows. Mite injury should not be confused with herbicide injury that is also starting to show up in some soybean fields. Finally, Erin and Matt talk about Pollinator Fest displays at Reiman Gardens. Erin will have the kids make Wikki Stik insects and Matt has prepared a honey tasting station.   Potato leafhopper (Photo by Marlin Rice) and classic "hopper burn" (Photo by Purdue Extension).

This week, Erin Hodgson talks about confirming soybean aphid in Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. 

Drs. Matt O'Neal and Erin Hodgson discuss current soybean aphid activity around Iowa and the region. Numbers are remaining low with some regions declining in density. They also discuss upcoming field tours (available at www.aep.iastate.edu).

Erin Hodgson talks about recent aphid populations and also some interesting defoliators in soybean. 

Drs. Matt O'Neal and Erin Hodgson are back with their weekly podcast regarding the soybean aphid and other insect pests of soybeans.  In this brief (~3min) episode we talk about the state of soybean aphids in Iowa and the midwest with a quick review of efforts to monitor aphid migration to soybeans. Please email us with your questions (oneal@iastate.edu or ewh@iastate.edu)

Matt O'Neal talks with Amy Asmus of Asmus Farm Supply to discuss outbreaks of aphids in cornfields around north-central Iowa.  The two discuss what species of aphids are in corn and what impact they may have. Be prepared for more questions than answers as the scientist and crop consultant compare notes about this problem. For a more complete description of the aphids see Dr. Erin Hodgson's article in the Integrated Crop Management Newsletter (www.extension.iastate.edu/CropNews/2009/0807hodgson.htm)

For the week of July 27, 2009, Drs. Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal review reports and data on soybean aphid populations from Iowa and the midwest. Although large populations can be found, many growers are reporting low populations with less than 50% of the plants infested with aphids. Also, Erin discusses reports of soybean defoliation by insect pests that are not aphids.

For the week of July 20, 2009, Drs. Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal discuss the state of aphid populations in Iowa.  Aphids are now well established in many fields but at low populations.  We discuss factors that can contribute to the likelihood of an outbreak.  Also, Erin and Matt make a joke about aphid perspiration.

In this edition, Dr. Erin Hodgson is introduced. She is the new assistant professor in the Department of Entomology at ISU with extension and research responsibilities focused on corn and soybean production. Dr. Hodgson's Ph.D. was spent studying the soybean aphid and how best to scout for it. She describes some of the work she is doing this summer, helping growers manage insect pests in soybean fields.

Erin Hodgson and Matt O'Neal return to talk about insect pests of soybean in Iowa and the greater midwest. On today's episode, the return of the soybean aphid, the japanese beetles and a variety of uncommon insects that feed on soybean plants and other crops (stink bugs, celery leaf tier, and colapspis beetles).
