Ep. 50 - A Cause for Celebration and an “Easy” Way To Build Your Empowerment Muscle

Fifty episodes! We made it to the 11%, folks! (According to Poddster, only 11% of podcasts make it to 50 episodes.)

It’s time to celebrate for a second then get into the business of talking about something “easy” (which may not be for some folks) to grow your empowerment muscle. In my opinion, this is one that if you don’t use it, you lose it. And I canNOT imagine not feeling empowered as I get older.

Join me for a conversation after this conversation if you want over on Patreon, on Instagram, or Facebook. Let me know what you do in your life that helps you feel empowered.

Ep. 49 - Life Lately and What I'm Working On In 2024

In this episode, I’m sharing some things from our holiday break, family vacation to Cabo San Lucas, and some things I’m working on in 2024.

I’m sharing some stories from the trip, an unexpected “gift” from an old friend, and I get a little vulnerable on what areas on want to work on in 2024. Maybe you can relate.

Join me over on Instagram or Facebook with any comments after listening or watching! I’d love to hear what you’re working on in 2024 so I can support you every step of the way.

Ep. 47 - Why Reflection on 2023 Makes for a Better 2024!

I’m taking the next month off from the podcast to count my blessings, reflect on the past year (both personally and professionally), as well as set a vision for the months ahead.

In this episode, I share why I’m starting this back up after not doing it for the past couple of years. Doing this kind of reflection and intention-setting work will help kick off my 2024 in a way that feels…well, just good. Like I’ve got my stuff together and I’m in alignment: mind, body and spirit. Who doesn’t want that?!

I’m also sharing a couple of words that are driving my actions this next year and I hope it encourages you to take some time to reflect on your 2023 and to make your 2024 amazing!

Ep. 44 - The Way to WANTing Yourself with Katie Horwitch

My guest today is no stranger to the negative self-talk we have all found ourselves doing at some point in our lives. We pick apart the way we look, the way we did or didn’t do something, how we do our jobs…the list is endless of all the thing we can speak negatively to ourselves about.

Katie Horwitch is the founder of the WANT: Woman Against Negative Talk, a multimedia platform to give women tools, tips, motivation, and inspiration to shift negative-self talk to positive + proactive. She’s also the host of the WANTcast: Women Against Negative Talk podcast, a mindset coach, public speaker, fitness instructor, writer, and now published author.

Join the conversation to learn more about her, where WANT started and what her debut book, Want Your Self, is all about.

Ep. 15 - Her Life Detox with Alicia Hill

I’m back! I’m so excited about this new year and what’s coming up in the podcast, starting with this beautiful soul.

In today’s episode, my friend, Alicia Hill, shares her tale of overcoming life toxicity. She talks about leaving her hometown to get away from toxic family relationships, how she handled mold toxicity in her home, and the mental health work she’s done to rid her life of toxic behaviors and people in order to live as her most authentic, intentional, and healthy self.

We covered a lot but I think you’re going to love hearing her story.

Episode 9 - Books That Will Change Your Life (A Series), Part 2: The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer

In this episode, I discuss the life-changing concepts and lessons in the book, The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer.

I read this in 2018 and have been applying the knowledge I gained from this book ever since. It’s not easy work but it’s definitely worth the effort.

You'll be inspired by her story and how all the hardships growing up and in early adulthood were the EXACT things she needed to cultivate a life full of freedom and joy.

Episode 7 - Books That Will Change Your Life (A Series), Part 1: Daring Greatly by Brené Brown

Today, we’re going to talk about books, but not just any books. These are books that could possibly change your life.

Over a series of podcast episodes, I’ll be sharing the books that have dramatically impacted my own life in recent years along with personal anecdotes and insights that, hopefully, inspire you to utilize their ideas to change yours, too.

First up is Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, a book about courage and vulnerability and how they are both required if we are to show up in our lives as the main event, the person in the arena who is daring greatly, rather than watching from the sidelines.
