Join us as we explore the transformative journey of Meg Calvin, a remarkable writing and marketing coach who guides authors through the spiritual and intangible challenges of crafting their Amazon bestsellers. Meg's story begins with her roots in ministry, shaped by a life marked by trauma and a quest for unconditional love. Her early exposure to music and preaching laid the foundation for her current path, where she helps writers overcome invisible barriers and find their true calling. Through her experiences, Meg demonstrates the power of self-discovery and transformation, inspiring others to follow their passions and make a lasting impact with their words. We also shed light on the liberating journey from traditional publishing to self-publishing. Frustration with the lack of creative freedom in traditional avenues led to the creation of independent publishing ventures, allowing authors to authentically tell their stories. The episode underscores the importance of recognizing the persistent ideas that signal a book's need to be written, not only as a personal calling but as a way to extend one's business presence beyond the digital world. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, the authenticity and personal energy of a creator are emphasized as invaluable elements in writing.

We've been through a lot of deconstruction, many of us, and have been finding a lot of freedom. It's so easy to look outside ourselves, and point at what needs to change in the world — and no doubt it does! I would bet that virtually every person listening is wanting to help rebuild the world into better shape than it is right now. But how can we do selfcare in all of this? How can we stay positive? This may look different because the problems may seem so big, insurmountable, but that's even MORE reason to make our own changes, not less.There is a way to shift US that can shift the whole.

Today we're diving into something that has truly changed the way I operate in both business and life: boundaries. But not just any boundaries — sacred ones that help you stay aligned with your purpose and energy. Trust me, learning to honor this practice has been life-giving, and I want to share what's worked for me. Setting boundaries isn't about pushing others away, it's about respecting your values by evaluating opportunities, learning to say ‘no' and making sure your calendar aligns with your energy. Action Plan: - Misalignment has a cost: Staying in the wrong situations drains your energy and purpose. - Sacred boundaries protect what matters: They're about honoring your truth, not pushing people away. - Watch for warning signs: Dread, resentment, and overcommitment signal a need for - boundaries. - Boundaries unlock magic: Saying no creates space for aligned, energizing opportunities. - Use simple boundary tools: Pause before saying ‘yes', check in with your body, and lean on your values. - Choosing yourself is powerful: Boundaries aren't selfish—they're essential for impact.

Your Guide to Emotional Reinvention & Abundant BeginningsEnergy Almanac-New Moon in Cancer - June 25th, 2025The end of June 2025 culminates with a powerful New Moon in Cancer on Wednesday, June 25th, at approximately 4°07' Cancer. New Moons are always about fresh starts and setting intentions, and when it occurs in its home sign of Cancer, the focus shifts to deeply personal areas of life: home, family, emotional security, roots, and our inner world.This particular New Moon is amplified by a significant alignment: the Sun and Moon are tightly conjunct with Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, luck, growth, and abundance. Its presence here magnifies the New Moon's themes, making this a truly auspicious time for:Emotional Reinvention: This is a cosmic "reboot" for your emotional well-being. It's an invitation to redefine what emotional security means to you, nurture your inner child, and establish new, healthier emotional patterns.Home & Family Blessings: With Cancer's strong association with domesticity, expect positive shifts and opportunities related to your living situation, family dynamics, or even real estate. This could be a great time for moving, renovating, or creating a more harmonious home environment.Intuition and Nurturing: The watery energy of Cancer enhances intuition and empathy. This New Moon encourages you to tune into your inner wisdom, listen to your gut feelings, and prioritize self-care and nurturing.Manifestation Power: With Jupiter's expansive influence, this New Moon is a prime time for powerful manifestation work, especially around themes of personal growth, security, and emotional fulfillment. Dream big and visualize your ideal reality.Other Key Aspects During this Week:While the New Moon is the highlight, other planetary movements contribute to the week's energy:Sun-Jupiter Conjunction (June 24th): Just before the New Moon, the Sun and Jupiter meet in Cancer. This "Day of Miracles" (as some astrologers call it) brings immense optimism, good fortune, and a feeling of "can-do." It's a fantastic energy to tap into for expanding your vision and feeling hopeful.New Moon Square Saturn and Neptune: While generally positive, the New Moon's squares to Saturn (in Aries) and Neptune (in Aries, balsamic phase) suggest areas where challenges or illusions might arise.Square Saturn: May bring a need to be realistic and practical about your desires, or to address emotional blocks and fears of vulnerability. It's about grounding your expansive dreams with tangible effort.Square Neptune: Could introduce confusion or a need for discernment. Be mindful of setting realistic expectations and avoid getting swept away by illusions. It's a call to connect with your dreams while staying aware of reality.Mercury Enters Leo (June 26th): Communication shifts from the nurturing, intuitive Cancerian mode to a more expressive, passionate, and confident Leo style. This is a time to speak from the heart, share your creativity, and let your voice be heard.Mercury aspects Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto (late week): These aspects suggest that while communication becomes more vibrant, there might be a need to set boundaries, lean into dreams, and navigate power dynamics in conversations.#Primary Lunation, #CancerNewMoon2025,#NewBeginnings,#EmotionalReset,#HomeAndHeart,#JupiterInCancer,#CosmicReboot,#ManifestYourDreams,#NurtureYourSoul,#InnerSanctuary,#AstrologyUpdate,#LunarCycle,#Astrology2025,#SelfCare,#Intuition,#FamilyLove,#RealEstateAstrology, #MercuryInLeo,#AstrologyForecast,#SpiritualGrowth,Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

Are you a "good daughter" caught in a lifelong struggle to win your mother's approval—only to find it never comes? In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Katherine Fabrizio, psychotherapist and bestselling author of The Good Daughter Syndrome, to explore the complex dynamics of mother-daughter relationships and the impact of generational trauma.We discuss how empathetic daughters can become entangled in unhealthy patterns with difficult mothers—especially those with narcissistic or borderline tendencies. These daughters often struggle with guilt, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and an endless quest for validation. Katherine shares insights on how to break free from these cycles, set healthy boundaries, and learn the difference between helping and enabling.Most importantly, we talk about how healing begins within—through self-care, self-trust, and reclaiming your own voice. If you've ever felt "not good enough" in your mother's eyes, this episode is for you.

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych interviews Jill Pepper, CEO of Ozer Health, for a thought-provoking conversation about how the U.S. health insurance system really works—from the inside out. Together, they explore why so many Americans feel frustrated or failed by Western medicine, the critical gaps in the system, and why Eastern and natural medicines like Ayurveda often sit on the outskirts of mainstream care. They dive into what makes someone trust a healthcare provider, why trying holistic modalities can feel strange at first, and how to increase access to and adoption of natural healing approaches. It's a powerful dialogue between two women who have navigated both conventional and alternative medicine industries—and are passionate about transforming how we care for our bodies and minds. Jill Pepper, CEO at Ozer Health, with over 18 years in healthcare and employer wellness solutions, has extensive experience in western group insurance for large employer groups, wellness program sales, retention, and strategic distribution. Previously serving in leadership roles, she managed key relationships with employer groups, focusing on traditional western insurance, wellness programs' strategy and engagement and customer relationship management. For the past 15 months, Jill has directed her expertise toward launching The Ozer Health app, a digital platform aimed at delivering an accessible, holistic health solution that marries western and eastern practices. Her background also includes consulting services and advisory roles, such as her contributions to Impact100 Nashville board, where she continues to engage with healthcare innovation and community health initiatives. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. She currently serves as the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and is part of the faculty at Mount Madonna Institute College of Ayurveda.

We wrestle with what it means to pursue peace and rest in a world that feels anything but soft. We explore how Black women, in particular, can give themselves permission to step back without ignoring the reality around them. Is it possible to protect your peace and still stay engaged in the world? We don't have all the answers—but it offers a thoughtful, honest look at the balancing act.Like. Follow. Share.

In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano gets real about the mess behind the scenes: home renovation hell, relentless exhaustion, and the kind of stress that clings to your skin.This isn't a glamorized version of pushing through.

She shares what it's like to live in a body that feels like a battleground, and how something as simple as a swim can feel like coming home.More than anything, she talks about finding purpose inside the pain. The power of community. The reminder that you are not your diagnosis.

What if supporting your anxious teen didn't mean constantly doing more - but instead, meant becoming more present, intentional, and self-aware in the moments that matter? In this episode, I'm joined by Holly Swenson - wellness blogger, registered nurse, and author of Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow - to explore how conscious parenting, grounded in self-care and deep inner work, can reshape how we show up for our teens. More About Holly: Holly Swenson is a best-selling, award-winning author, and mom of four. Through her book Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow, Holly offers a refreshing take on modern parenting - one rooted in mindfulness, purpose, and self-compassion. With her unique background as a nurse and mother, she empowers parents to slow down, shift their mindset, and lead from their values instead of stress or guilt. Holly's “5 Rights of Parenting” invites parents to tune in to themselves, approach challenges with clarity, and create deeper, more authentic connections with their children. If you've ever questioned how to care for your teen without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and thrive alongside your child.
