Becoming Vibrant

After over a year of podcasting with over 50 episodes recorded, I've noticed that a lot of podcast guests, both seasoned and brand new, feel unsure of themselves. They think they're rambling or talking too much or going off subject. And I'm on the other side of the screen watching them totally nail it! Because this was so common, I made it a whole part of my podcasting process to encourage my guests and give them what they need to show up confidently-- and now I'm sharing it with you!

Today we are talking about cultivating confidence— because here's the thing: lots of the advice out there is like "just be confident!" and you're left there asking "okay I'm trying but nothing is happening, how do I do that?".

This is kind of a fun one because I recorded it a while back when I wasn't fully stepping into confidence coaching yet. A little while after this, I realized how fired up I was about confidence and couldn't care less about creating meal plans and telling people what to eat. The part I really cared about was the WHY. Why women struggle with food and body image issues. It all comes down to self-worth, which is the basis for confidence.

Anyway, I collaborated with today's guest Rebecca Haydon again after this episode was recorded, as a confidence coach myself this time, and we just had a blast talking about confidence because we are on the same page, but we approach it from different angles. Rebecca is amazing at helping women change their behaviours and their limiting beliefs using NLP. If you want concrete advice on confidence-building, you'll love this episode.

This was one of my favourite episodes on the podcast so far because we dive deep into the challenges of motherhood. We all want to be amazing moms for our children, but sometimes we feel like we aren't measuring up. Especially as mompreneurs, we can feel like we are never doing it right because we are creating a business and an identity outside of being a mother. In this episode, conscious parenting expert Miki Maruko helps us redefine what a "good mother" really means, get rid of mom guilt, and learn how to help our little ones grow into happy, healthy adults. If you feel guilty or you don't like the way you've been parenting, this one is for you.

Today we're talking about anxiety.

We're talking about what you can do if you struggle with anxiety and you try "all the things" and it seems like nothing is working. We are talking about reiki energy healing and mindfulness as complementary ways to soothe anxiety and improve your mental wellbeing.

This is a fun one because our guest Kyla Schmidt is a reiki practitioner and she did a reiki session on me the day before our recording and it felt amazing. Reiki is one of those things that I was skeptical of, but I always keep an open mind so I've tried it before and I love it. If you're skeptical about alternative healing modalities for anxiety, that's totally okay, but why not give it a try right?

Today we are talking about something that many women find challenging to talk about: sexuality. You know I love a taboo topic of conversation! Sexuality can feel shameful or awkward or embarrassing because we've been taught that it is bad for a woman to be sexual. Your sexuality is your superpower as a woman. If you feel blocked or shut down when it comes to leaning in to your sexual nature, you'll want to listen to this one. We talk all about how to work through the shame and negative emotions around sexuality so we can feel confident and empowered.

So, let's talk about that thing you really want to do but you're holding back from.

This episode turned out to be so much more than I thought it would. I hit record with the intention to help you start bringing some self awareness to all the ways our society, especially diet culture, influences the way we see ourselves.

I ended up diving deep into two of the huge things that mompreneurs bump into as they are trying to create and expand their businesses: One is a sense of being deeply flawed and/or focusing on our flaws. The other being this feeling of unreadiness.

The second one really got me fired up because I know how many of you have this big dream and this big passion that you're stifling because you don't feel ready or worthy of showing up yet. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode if you find yourself holding back from showing up fully in your business.

I am really excited about this one because, thanks to our special guest, I get to share something with you that absolutely changed my life. I always felt like a very sensitive child and like no one around me really understood me. I seemed to be more affected by things and would cry more and get anxious and my mom didn't really understand why. As an adult, I noticed that I get overwhelmed easily and need a lot of alone time. I also am a really deep thinker and I'm very sensitive to other people's emotions. What I know now is that I'm a highly sensitive person. This is a trait that you are born with, if you are part of the small percentage of highly sensitive people on this Earth. Being highly sensitive comes with a lot of challenges but a lot of gifts as well. Today we're talking to Julie Bjelland who helps us understand how to harness our sensitivity and take care of ourselves so we can tap into the power of our sensitivity.

Today we are talking all about dressing your body shape. This was such a great conversation because, like most women, I struggled for a long time to find clothes I really loved to wear. We talk about the trap of waiting until you "lose the weight", a new way to define "flattering", and how to create a capsule wardrobe that works for you. No more closets full of clothes you never wear.

This is episode number 37 of the Becoming Vibrant podcast and today we are deep diving into the topic of self-care. Self-care can feel really hard to actually do. There are all kinds of self-care habit checklists out there and people showing off their #selfcare manicures— but what is self-care REALLY?

"I know I need to take better care of myself but if feels so hard to actually do and stick to". Is that you? If it is, keep listening.

This episode should honestly be required learning for mamas. I often talk about my own experience of becoming a mother, from not knowing what to expect to birth trauma to postpartum depression, and I always talk about how I wish I would've known about these things BEFORE I gave birth. If you are a mama, you are pregnant now, or you're even just considering having babies in the future, you'll want to listen to this honest conversation about all the things women don't know before they have a baby.

For today's episode, I had a deeply honest conversation with Emily Rose of Mama Wilder. Emily is an East coaster-turned-mountain woman, full-time student, avid home-birther, lover of women supporting women, and mom of 2.
