• #97: Letting Go Releasing Meditation
    Apr 24 2024

    Letting go is essential to every cycle in life, but can indeed be challenging. Luckily nature built in an ideal time to help you do this.

    In this episode, I share with you:

    1. How you can use nature to your advantage in making letting go of things a bit easier

    2. And I'll guide you through a releasing meditation to help you do so.

    Join me on a transformative journey of release and renewal. In this episode, I'll lead you through a powerful releasing ritual meditation to help you let go of anything that no longer serves you.

    Whether it's physical possessions cluttering your space, emotional baggage weighing you down, or mental patterns keeping you stuck, I gently guide you in surrendering to the natural flow of life's cycles. Learn how to harness intention and reconnect with your inner self as I invite you to create a sacred space to facilitate growth and transformation.

    Grab some paper, a pen, and an open mind as we embark on this journey of self-discovery and liberation. It's time to use the power of letting go to align with the natural rhythms of life and make space for the abundance of health, harmony and happiness that awaits.

    In this episode, my guest James Reagan of the How We Feel Project, and I talk about emotional intelligence and what it means to your health, harmony, and happiness, and how using a simple app can help you identify, understand and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them.

    Emotional intelligence gives us the ability to read our instinctive feelings and those of others. It allows us to understand and label emotions as well as express and regulate them.

    We show you how using a simple app can help you

    1. Identify, understand, and articulate your emotions rather than ignore them
    2. Implement strategies to become your best self even in tough moments
    3. Begin to recognize patterns in how you're feeling
    4. Deepen social connection with those closest to you while doing so.

  • #95: How to Work With the Energy of Spring Without Burning Out
    Mar 20 2024

    Want to know how to use the energy that comes with spring to your advantage so that that feeling of exhaustion you get from going 100 mph, 100% of the time starts to lift?

    In this episode, I'll share with you:

    1. What the rhythm of spring represents.
    2. How the energy of spring might show up in your life.
    3. Three ways to invite the rhythm of spring into your life.
    4. The one thing you need to remember to do to use the energy to your benefit.

    The shift into spring offers up another opportunity for us to celebrate our rhythms and remember to use them to our advantage. Each seasonal shift we experience, just like the lunar shifts and personal cyclical shifts, allows us to not only practice transitioning form one thing to another, but also removes some of the pressure we might place on ourselves because of self-imposed or others' expectations if we place intention around those transitions.

  • #94: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 2
    Mar 7 2024

    Today in honor of International Women's Day, I want to continue to honor one of the women I admire most in this world. A woman who has lived a full life with a relaxed ease. Leading with love and connection rather than fear and avoidance, she is a beautiful picture of what Health Harmony and Happiness is.

    In part 2 of my conversation with my 104-year-old friend, Christa Belknap, we dive deeper into her wisdom and perceptive insights on life. We talk about life amid historical events, her unanticipated adaptability to technology and the profound impact of education. Christa shares her adventurous side, reminiscing of her time in a motorcycle club and traveling with her husband to wistfully recounting the emotions attached to historical events like sending family off to war.

    Her contagious spirit of resilience and adaptability combined with her love for others and curiosity in life instills a significant message.

  • #93: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 1
    Feb 22 2024
    Everyone wants the secret to a long life, and although there may not be just one, we do uncover some of those key elements in today's episode.

    Join me as I sit down with my 104-year-old friend, Christa Belknap, to glean some beautiful wisdom from her.

    This is the first in a 2-part interview with Christa Belknap, a beautiful soul who has lived her 104 years leading with love. In our conversation Christa uncovers some of the key elements of a long and fulfilling life. She shares her wisdom and life experiences, attributing her longevity to love, faith, exercise, and letting go of things no longer serving her.

    From physical to spiritual self-care, Christa shares wisdom on living a long and beautiful life. One of the earliest "fitness" models (as we might know them to be called), Christa even modeled for the newspaper in a column called "Do Not Grow Old" back in the late 30's/early 40's. She has certainly let that element ring true as the years have passed.

    Christa shares various aspects of what her life has been like, including about her family, beliefs, and the importance of staying adaptable and leading with love. The conversation highlights the significance of slowing down and being present in life and how love and connection can bring people together.

  • #92: Rhythms of Renewal: Restarting Routines Amidst a Winter Pause
    Feb 1 2024

    It's time to get back into a routine. The body works in patterns and habits, so when it's spent some time being out of sorts because of schedule changes or downtime, as has been the case for me a lot recently with winter break and an obnoxious number of snow days, how do you return to the sense of normalcy or routine that keeps you thriving?

    In this episode, I'll share with you...

    1. How to know when you need to invite more routine into your life or back into your life
    2. Why routines, patterns and habits actually create expansion and freedom in your life
    3. How to balance routine with flow


    After a restful break, it's time to rekindle routines and habits for a mindful journey through winter. In this episode I explore the delicate balance between structure and flow, navigating winter's pause while reigniting creativity and self-discovery. Learning to transition through life with ease is what cultivating health, harmony and happiness is all about. I share insights on cultivating wellness, fostering connection, and embracing the beauty of easing through seasonal transitions.
