Today, I am offering myself kindness and respect. I am actively and attentively honoring my body as I move beyond body standards and embrace my physical form, as it has been, as it is now, and as it will be. From today forward, I pledge to speak words of affirmation to myself each time I look in the mirror. I promise to respect my reflection by feeding it healthy thoughts and emotions, as I know this is as important as the food, I fuel myself with, too. I have the power to love myself without the conditions those around me have asked me to own and without the standards of anything I’ve been taught or told, and today I’m actively making this choice. I acknowledge that loving myself and the vehicle I have while on this earth is sometimes messy, and yet, from now on, I give the best of myself to honor the girl I am, from the outside in and vice versa. And if I mess up, take a sidestep, think or act out of alignment with this new frame of thought, I know I can start over right in the here and now.

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 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.

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.

Women who experience domestic abuse often find themselves silenced, not only by their partners, but also internally. Naa Amerley Asante-Armer knows this reality all too well. Yet, using her own words, “once she hit the eye of the storm,” she found her voice again—a voice that once sang for the masses and who is now running to lead a nation as its President in the West African country of Ghana.

No matter where you live around the globe or what holiday, tradition, or religious ceremony you celebrate, mental health, emotional uneasiness, and your physical health can easily be knocked off-kilter during this time of year. So, this week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into reimagining the holidays through finding and maintaining our center, holding space for ourselves, stripping away expectation, and allowing joy to thrive within the present moment BEFORE the season gets in full swing. Creating a plan now is essential to removing the overwhelm and maintaining your mental health and balance.

Grief and loss are universal experiences. No one lives the entirety of their life without meeting one or the other at some point. But, how you connect and move through grief, pain, and overall upheaval creates the difference between being a shattered person and a self-actualized soul. Priscilla Giddings knows this truth all too well—as her grief story began at age nine with the loss of her father, then transitioned into losing her soulmate after he was murdered, to her mother’s passing quickly from cancer. Yet, while the tragedies stacked up, Priscilla did not back down, especially when a life-altering secret was revealed at her mother’s funeral. A secret that turned her profound loss into a place to call home.
