How Do You Self-Soothe?

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 18:22:31 +0000

The Holidays make even the most secure of us come unhinged in some way. Even more so, when you're actively dealing with grief or trauma. And it gets worse with this preconceived notion you have to be happy, because this season's greeting IS "Happy Holidays!". This episode explores self-soothing, what it is, and how you can use it to maintain or even gain your personal power. The intention is NEVER perfection; but rather some good ol' newly social normalization of feeling and dealing to heal. And some messiness along the way.

The Burden of Feeling Like a Burden

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 05:00:00 +0000

Standing in your personal power sounds strong and glamorous. However, in the middle of your healing journey, you're going to feel a lot of emotion we assign to be negative - and a lot of times that makes us feel like a burden. That's quite a burden to take on. In this episode, I talk about the very real situation we often get ourselves into - the burden of being a burden - and that one small step to get you out of that burdening loop.

Igniting that Inner Fire While Letting Others Shine Just as Bright

Fri, 12 Mar 2021 16:03:26 +0000

This episode picks up where last episode with Ashley Marie left off - women and the looming reality of sexism. So much in the news lately has highlighted how much sexism still exists, which is why it feels important to discuss along with personal health. This episode highlights how that can affect the sense of safety for those in the line of fire of this sexism, and how important now more than ever it is to know there is no need to compete in who can shine the brightest. Nor should we ignore this competition exists. We truly can ignite our inner fire, while we let others shine just as bright.

Getting Curious, with Marc Lee

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 13:00:00 +0000

The title of this episode sounds a little racy, but believe me, this episode is more like rapid-fire conversation, from one curious person to another.

Why You're Not Digesting Your Food

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Often times, gut health especially is looked at as if you heal by putting a bandaid over it. "Drink a green smoothie this for a flat belly" this, "eat no carbs to lose weight" that. When really, gut health is like putting together a puzzle. There are all these teeny tiny pieces you have to put back together, but you have to keep looking at the overall picture on the boxtop to help guide you and bring clarity. Without it, the overall picture is incomplete. And it takes time. You're not just going to be completely okay overnight. That's completely evident and true with digestion.... And why you're not digesting your food.

Gut Microbiota Gone Wild

Fri, 16 Oct 2020 12:00:00 +0000

This is my most vulnerable podcast episode yet. Gut health affects everything - not just your gut. But rather, your health BEGINS in your gut. Your gut health affects how you think, which affects how you feel, which affects how you respond to what's thrown at you in life. It can eventually affect your overall health long-term, whether what you think and feel allows you to put in place healthy habits or harmful ones. The past several months have been a mixed bag of that for everyone - and I mean everyone. I marinate in my experiences of a three-month period from this year to show you the value in honoring your complexity versus shaming it. I also season this episode with some science and no-nonsense. So get yourself your coffee or tea, and settle in a bit while I lay out what can happen when... gut microbiota goes wild. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This episode is going to explore the difference between assessment and judgement (and even get into a little bit of how manipulation plays into it).
