Why TIS? While there's formation for highschoolers, college students, engaged couples, and married folks in our beautiful Church, where's a gal who's single and dating supposed to go? This is one of the many reasons why TIS was born. To both see and accompany you lovely ladies in a place where you so often feel misunderstood, neglected, and overlooked. Looking at the whole person - emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally - we equip our gals in TIS Membership with the skills and tools to live an integrated life. All the articles, youtube videos, conferences, podcasts, and talks won't bring you healing if you stay in self-awareness. Without bringing that head knowledge into action (self-responsibility) with someone who can accompany you, you'll stay stuck. TIS Membership is a six month program for single and dating catholic women 20's-40's to learn the skill sets, tools, and mindsets to thrive in their single and dating years. Want to learn more about this opportunity? We're hosting a FREE Live Event on Tuesday, May 14, @7pm CT/8pm ET.  "What you weren't taught about attachment, men, intimacy, and your cycle and how it impacts your dating" Register for the FREE Event on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 here. Learn more about The Intentional Single: https://www.theintentionalsingle.com/Sign up for Wednesday Wellness & Wisdom newsletter: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/g8l7qmqflu Stay in the know on all things TIS: https://theintentionalsingle.myflodesk.com/ikl0gcfj3n Reach out to Maria & Meghan for coaching here.

In this episode, Maria & Meghan dive into one of the four traits men find attractive in women... Authenticity! You'll learn what gets in the way of us even being authentic and how to develop authenticity in our relationships. Maria also introduces IFS and "parts work" in this dialogue as another tool to develop your real self. Authenticity is powerful ladies. But oftentimes, instead of showing up as our real selves in relationships, we're hiding parts of ourselves. Which is stopping connection from growing and blossoming. So here's a really good question to ponder this week..."Which part of me am I most afraid people will see?" Embrace gentleness as you uncover those parts of you that surface. We'd love to hear how this goes for you!

“Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭MSG‬‬ Worry attempts to take our focus off today and project it into the future as the worst case scenario. I want to encourage you to look at the worries within your life right now, and look at how you can shape them into prayers.

Kiki marks the end of the worst January ever. KiKi touches on Kobe, distancing herself from social media, and what the new month holds.

In today’s Solo Session, KiKi gives some tips and thoughts on how to cope this holiday season on dealing with seasonal depression.

In Kiki's latest Solo Session, she shares three positive affirmations to help your week run a little bit smoother. Sit back, relax and Stream.

I'll be following a routine all year. You don't need to keep track or anything. Sharing so you have some idea what to expect. Day one coming up!  Monday - Mindset and motivation and how you thing about things Tuesday - Work, productivity and time management  Wednesday - Wellness, movement, sleep and body related topics Thursday - Relationships including co-workers along with kids and spouses  Friday - Fun, friends and finances because we never talk about money Saturday - Home and how we move in the world Sunday Heart space - self care and dealing with your feelings 

The best thing about holidays? Having time to read all those books you lined up on your 'must read' shelf! Today, I'm reviewing Scott H Young's incredible 'Ultralearning'. I offer my top takeaway from the book (so hard to narrow it down to only ONE!), which is all about the power of EXPERIMENTATION, and getting outside of that darned comfort zone!   Honorable Mentions (if you can't access these links, try using the Apple Podcasts or Overcast apps)   Scott H Young - 'Ultralearning' Scott's website Tommy Baker's interview with Scott H Young Scott's Instagram   Workbook on Self-Talk- FREE!   Workbook on Building Rituals - FREE!

Every Wednesday here on The Hard Shoulder we like to give you a bit of inspiration for your travel plans.    This week a listener asked if we had any inspiration for wellness holidays so Michelle Jackson of the Novel Traveller  took a look at healthy breaks and holidays that are good for the body and the soul.     

So, I'm a research NERD. I do the research into the latest studies released about mental health, so that you don't have to.  Today, I'm talking CHOCOLATE - yes, really! I give you permission to eat more... And also RED WINE - less about encouraging you to drink it, but still... There's reassurance for if you feel like you're having EMOTIONAL side-effects from anti-depressant medication... Also, if you're a night owl, there's some interesting research that says you could become a LARK in just three weeks...

It's our Summer Spectacular and today is Wellness Wednesday. Today, time to clean our closets and lay out all the things you didn't wear this summer.  Put them into a pile for next Spring and consider taking them to consignment.  So many great places where we can upcycle our clothing that we once loved or made a mistake by buying. We can also do this with our fall wardrobe...ask yourself, "What didn't I wear last year?" and considering taking that our to a shop near you.  You can also check our www.therealreal.com or www.tradesy.com where you can send your things to them and they will sell them for you on the internet.  Of course, Ebay is also a great option for selling anything you are willing to part with.

In this special edition of Coffee Hour at The Commons, Alli hosts conversations with various people who make up the community and congregations at our Cathedral in Hartford.    She begins with a conversation with the Very Rev. Miguelina Howell, Dean of our Cathedral. They talk about the Centennial season this year, 2019, and all the wonderful events happening at our Cathedral throughout the year. A couple of years ago, our Cathedral was invited by the bishops into a discernment about the role and mission of the Cathedral in Hartford. This celebration of Christ Church Cathedral’s Centennial is an expression of our Cathedral’s identity and what they are embracing as a congregation and as a spiritual home for all of Connecticut.   This episode you will learn about the congregational life of our Cathedral, the various committees associated with Christ Church Cathedral, Church by the Pond, Church Street Eats, and Music Moves Hartford.    Alli first interviews the Rev. Canon Jorge Pallares, Canon for Congregational of Life at Christ Church Cathedral. She asks Canon Pallares to describe the life of the congregations that meet at our Cathedral. Canon Pallares says the life of the five congregations here are active and dedicated to ministry. The congregations meet throughout the week, including one congregation that meets beyond the walls of the Cathedral. Canon Pallares shares how he became involved in this position, and how the congregations are involved in the city of Hartford.    Next, Alli interviews Jilda Aliotta, the Chair of the Congregations Committee. Because the Cathedral is made up of multiple congregations, there is no vestry, so the Congregations Committee fulfills that role, in some ways. Jilda has been a member of Christ Church Cathedral for 30 years, and has been a member of the committee for  four years. The committee is becoming more programmatic, organizing the programs and events at our Cathedral.    Alli then talks with individuals about the various ministries happening in, at, and by our Cathedral. She meets with Andrew May and Nancy Jacob to talk about Church by the Pond, again with Nancy Jacob to talk about Church Street Eats, Kevin Bishop to talk about Music Moves Hartford - and you’ll hear a clip from the practice - and finally with Theresa Greaves to talk about the Wednesday Wellness and the Zumba classes. Alli also grabs some Zumba Music to get you moving this Friday afternoon!    This episode wraps up with asking Canon Pallares how folks can pray for the congregations and the life of our Cathedral.

Happy Hump Day Friends. Today our challenge is simple.  HYDRATE. 64 ounces of water today is our goal. Quick tips:  Know how many ounces are in your reusable water bottle (single use plastics are out!) Refill throughout the day keeping track of how many ounces you are drinking. Take the bottle with you everywhere and drink up! I love the app FIND TAP which helps you to locate places to refill your water bottle on the go - check it out here https://findtap.com/ Remember - simple changes and better choices daily will get us to our goals.

Did you know there is a difference between happiness and joy? It's been said that happiness is to joy as an electric light bulb is to the sun. Like the sun, joy is always available to us. Will you take time today to consider what you need to do to fill your life with joy? I'll be posting Wednesday Wellness classes on my website starting this week so please visit thyme4you.net and click on the Wellness box.

Today's challenge : Eat nothing in a bag or a box. Everything you eat today should be in its whole form, cooked or raw. If nothing else it brings awareness to how many processed foods we are eating every day. Listen in and join this challenge!

What is it that causes you stress?  How are you managing stress? Stress can become overwhelming...take a few minutes today to recognize the stressors in your life and then make a plan to help you to manage these stressors. Perhaps a mindfulness practice can benefit you, maybe its upping your weekly exercise?  Maybe you need to talk to someone or perhaps just ask for help. Having a plan is the first step because it is a fact that stress exists, and true that having a plan for when the time comes will bring you relief.

It's Wednesday - Wellness Wednesday in these parts. Today, the challenge is to get moving.  20 minutes today.  Whether that is one 20 minute block of walking or running or yoga...or it means 4 blocks of 5 minutes each of taking the stairs or doing sit ups or dancing in your kitchen...get those 20 minutes in today. If you can wake up and put on workout gear and running shoes you'll be one step ahead of yourself
