This week we’re talking about purpose, the power of social media, and what it means to be a parent with Laura from @Foster.Parenting.

If you have logged onto Tik Tok or Instagram in the last year, you’ve likely stumbled across one of Laura’s videos where she offers such resources to parents around the globe, especially those who are foster parents. What started as a way to fill the gap of resources during the pandemic has turned into a global advocate platform for foster children, parents no matter birth, adopted, or fostering, a place for teachers to learn about trauma outside of the classroom, as well as ways to show up for the children in our communities and homes.

For the first time, a face and voice that millions have watched, fallen in love with, and followed shares her personal story, her why, and her deep desires for the children in her personal care and yours.

Do negative thoughts trip you up?

There’s not a single person who isn’t impacted by negative thoughts at some point in their lives, if not in their daily lives. Unfortunately, many do not realize that negative thought loops can swiftly destroy their mood, rock their confidence, and erode their self-esteem after mere weeks of practicing thoughts that do not serve them.  

If we want to get our lives together, we must learn to embrace the opportunity to shift out of old pattern thinking. If old patterns and limiting beliefs are not the issues, we must examine whether we have a negativity addiction. Regardless of why, when we are open to the possibility of change, we can literally change our lives by changing our minds with daily practice.

In this week’s episode, we chat with Transformational Shaman, Kelle Sparta, who walks us through her journey of healing her childhood, leaving the life she has created but did not recognize as her own, taking a walkabout of self-discovery, creating a healing strategy and system that can serve each of us, and how we can find our true selves by doing the shadow work of healing.

Is your life owning you or do you own it? Big question, right?

After years of studying our experiences, emotions, and behaviors, there’s one thing that I know with absolute certainty and clarity, our personal history, our stories, have incredible, therapeutic healing power.

The problem is most of us do not use this power to our advantage. There is a tool that each of us has access to that is self-directed and requires nothing more than your thoughts, a pen, and a piece of paper.

Is it possible to deactivate stress and anxiety by tapping the stressors away? Can we free ourselves of complex emotions through pressure points in the body?

The answer is YES! As we continue discovering different modalities that aid in our healing and reduce stress and negative emotions, we turn our attention to Emotional Freedom Tapping and the Heart-Brain Coherence techniques.

This week explore these tools with Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Speaker, and Transformational Life Coach Catherine Ewing.

When was the last time you took a full, deep breath?

I bet it’s been a while, and to be honest, you are not alone! Breathing is a vital part of life, yet most of us underestimate how a simple inhale and exhale can dramatically shift what is happening within. The shift is so significant it’s safe to say that proper, deep, therapeutic breathwork is the most potent and influential function your body has when it comes to regulating your nervous system, thought patterns, and bringing your mind, body, and spirit connection into alignment. The best part is that this ability is already within you and accessible. With such a great tool already at your fingertips, it’s time to use it to your benefit.

Slow down and allow Hypnotherapist Kate Semeniuk to guide you through the inner child healing process.

Let me ask you an important question. Do you feel that you are an observer or a reactor in your life? When we are reactors, it’s often due to unhealed trauma. During March, we’re exploring different methods and modalities to heal and create the mindset and life revolution each of us desires and ultimately deserves.

In this week’s episode, we chat with Kate Semeniuk, an expert in Hypnotherapy—which has the power to help us move through inner turmoil and resentment, grow in our confidence and self-esteem, release fear and phobias, and so much more. Kate’s journey to her purpose began in the Ukraine during the reign of the Soviet Union. The fascinating journey she took to find her most authentic self will open your eyes to how each of us can uncover the same for ourselves. Then Kate teaches us how to become an observer in our lives—a skill that shifts us from “stuck” to living our best and most abundant experiences every day.

Do you know what love language you speak?

Do you know how you like to have your needs, emotional connectivity, and love style met?

Many understand that there is an unwritten communication of receiving, giving, and feeling love, but often how we express and expect love in return is lost in translation. This week, we’re breaking down the importance of love languages, the different types, recognizing your partner’s language, and we’ll connect the dots to asking for more when we’re not on the same page with our partners. Ultimately, if we understand our love language, we can strengthen all forms of communication, which results in happier, healthy, and far more grounded and productive relationships.

With February being the month of celebrating relationships, it’s time to focus on creating the most robust connections we can, both inside and outside of ourselves. Yet, this is a different angle; today, we are looking at the shift in a relationship and what happens when we uncouple and even divorce, especially when children are involved.

We’re chatting with Resilience Coach Kimberly Smith, who walks us through the dissolve of her marriage, the conscious choices they made to create a safe emotional environment for their daughter, how self-love must be the root of all relationships, and how to co-parent in a way that serves not only the children but also the adults. In all of that, we break down how to mindfully create a new life after any significant transition.

How would you rate your relationships? Would you say they are stable, safe, and grounded in true connectivity? Whether it’s the relationship with a spouse or partner, family, or even friends, there’s one element needed for our relationships to thrive. What is it? It’s emotional safety and security. Yet, most don’t realize there are grounded, actual steps needed to create trust-filled relationships with those we are closest. This week we’re diving into connectivity, what it takes to create an emotional safety net, and we’ll examine the small habits that have the power to shift any relationship from surviving to absolute thriving.

What is the most authentic definition of beauty—not the definition we’ve been told we should and must subscribe to, but the actual depth-filled meaning of inner and outer beauty? In a world that thrives on perfectionism, flawless looks, and materialism, one fashion model is flipping that faked-out image of beauty on its head. Yet, doing so has not been an easy task.

In this week’s episode, Christine Handy walks us through her harrowing battle with breast cancer, how it challenged her perceived self-value, her standard and definition of beauty, the journey to self-worth, healing the inner child, and how each of us must create a “courage net” in our lives. This is one life revolution that turns pain into purpose.

Do you struggle with procrastination? What about the lack of motivation? So many do and even identify as procrastinators. This belief can overrun our lives! It can even cause higher levels of stress, anxiety, fear, and a host of other negative feelings. This week we are taking a different approach to procrastination as we examine what these habits are at their roots and how our mindset and thinking patterns are the true culprits. From there, we’re brain hacking our way out of our full stops and onto the path of true motivation in this week’s one-on-one deep dive.

Ladies, it’s time to revolutionize our thoughts around physical health! Let me ask you a question: do you understand the inner workings of your body? As in, the natural rhythm of your hormones or even the daily and monthly cycles? How about how many calories you should intake or even when you should actually be eating? How about what it takes to sustain your energy and keep your weight in check? With so much noise and the “do this, not that” culture, it’s time to break down factual, honest answers to reach our ultimate health. In this week’s episode, we do just that with Registered Dietitian Victoria Coglianese.

There’s one statement that can disrupt our lives and growth more than any other set of words out there! What is it? “I AM STUCK!” Those words are often the most significant barrier to our success, feeling our best, and creating positive action; they are the mental and emotional wall that halts most things! So, this week, we are ripping off the label of stuck, taking a hard look at how we often go looking for failure without realizing it, and how we must push ourselves out of our comfort zone to grow and have full life ownership.

So, let’s shift our perspectives and our ability to become un-stuck.

Life is best lived when in balance, but for most women, achieving balance is the equivalent of walking a tightrope without a safety net underneath—it’s tricky at best and, for many, a definite struggle. This is especially true for working mothers. In this week’s episode, we take on our relationship with work and family while trying to achieve and be quote “good enough mothers” with retired neonatologist Dr. Susan Landers. She walks us through the lessons she learned about work/life balance as a high-achieving physician. Those lessons have now been parlayed into a mission to educate women to show up as their best selves, be present, and own their accomplishments as wives, mothers, and career-driven women.

It’s that time of year again where we begin to shift into the new year and begin to put pen to paper as to what we’d like to create. Last week we ripped back the veil of personal permission in order to move our mindset into that desire in part-one of this two-part series to enhance our overall quality of life. If you listened last week, you’ve come to understand that permission is the foundation to creating our highest and greatest intentions. This week, we’re pulling everything together in part-two where we take a one-on-one deep dive into the exact strategies you can use to create achievable, permission-based goals and intentions—outside of the typical resolutions, that often fall short, fizzle out, and rarely come to fruition. If there has ever been a time to spark a new phase of growth, accomplishment, and shift your focus into enhancing your overall quality of life…now is it!

As we begin to close any year, it’s natural to move our mindset into what we desire to create for ourselves in the next 365 days. After all, that is why we set intentions, resolutions, and goals, but there’s one factor that must come first—a factor that most people bypass and then stand back and can’t figure out why life never seems to work out for them. What is this factor? It’s permission—it’s making affirmative, action-based choices that allow us to move into our highest and greatest intentions.

In this week’s episode, we take on our relationship with food in a deep dive conversation with nutritional, IBS, anxiety, and gut expert Laura Patricia Martin. After all, ’tis the season to overindulgence, leaning into an imbalanced mindset of eating, and of course, we are just weeks away from setting those New Year’s fitness resolutions.  

How many times have you uttered the words, “I am not good enough?” Unfortunately, for many, it’s too many times to count. So, this week, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into shifting our mindset around how we devalue ourselves and our worth. Whether we realize it or not, our self-talk, belittling ourselves, and buying into other people’s opinions have the power to break our connection to our worthiness and how we show up in the world. This is one behavior that has real-life consequences.
