Being Me

Intermission: a pause or break. 

Being Me Movement is celebrating Season One and taking a pause, an intermission,  to prepare for Season Two (September). 

This will give you space to listen to all our guests and absorb their beautiful and bestness. 

In this episode, I do all the things! 

You’ll hear snippets from my guests that coincide with my mission statement for the podcast. 

You’ll learn why it’s so important to complement yourself. And hear a compliment session for the podcast. (I needed tissues!)

You’ll hear my friend, Heart Math Coach, Joshua Pietrocini interview me again, like he did in the beginning. (I love coming full circle!) 

You’ll find out what I’m offering in August. 

You’ll discover how to support me and the Being Me Movement. 

You’ll tap your toe and hum along  with a great song by one of my favorite bands Strangers By Accident. 

You’ll be bathed in soothing words straight from my heart to yours. 

And you’ll be given a little homework (or as I like to call it “playful practice.” 

And, as always, I hope you’ll remember, I love you. 

“Parting is such sweet sorrow...”

So, I won’t leave you! Come on over to Instagram and hang with me until it be ‘morrow.

Hand to heart: Thank you for listening.

Is our heart intelligent?

Have you ever been thinking about someone and then they called or text?

Our guest today is here to tell us all about the scientifically proven power of our heart and to help explain our heart's energy and how it affects our lives.

A Heart Math Coach, Joshua Pietrocini explains to us what heart coherence is and how we can use Heart Math techniques to reduce stress and add more peace and joy. He walks us through an exercise that you can use today!

What's Heart Math? Joshua is here to tell us all about it.

Deliberately adding more HEART into our daily lives leads to a more harmonic world, and the Science is starting to prove it.

Joshua's Bio:

In an alternate life, Joshua Pietrocini would have been a skilled and studied dancer, or maybe a singer, or perhaps an acrobat! Some sort of theatrical performer that brings joy. In this life, he’s focused on making human being connections in other ways (although he certainly isn’t shy at a wedding). 

An excellent listener and heart expander, Joshua is one of my dearest friends. 

Joshua grew up in and currently just moved back to Ohio from Savanah Georgia. A husband and father of four, working as a Senior Project Manager at a Unified Communications Company, Joshua is also a Heart Math Coach. 

In one of our "down the rabbit hole" chats, I asked Joshua if he could be anything what would he be, and he said he saw himself as a conductor of a magical flow orchestra. I’ve always wanted to draw that image. 

He’s the kind of person  that has a ton of friends and makes every stranger feel like they’re a part of his crew. 

He truly sees people. All people. That’s one of the great gifts he serves the world. 

Playful and full, expansive and a seeker, Joshua is still joyfully becoming, Joshua, and he’s here today to talk about the intelligence of YOUR heart and to let us all in on a sneak peak of his own.

I’m thrilled to bring to you the most influential person that has touched my life over the past three years, Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman.

He helps me answer questions like, Where do desires come from? How do we show up and fully express our being?

He also specifically tells me what he thinks my purpose in life is and I’m forever grateful for his words!

Author of  Luminous Life : How the Science of Light Unlocks the Art of Living - his work is truly beautiful and the best and has profoundly changed me.

He’s also the father to beloved Being Me guest Erik Liberman who with his sister Gina Liberman helped him with the book.

This was a dream come true for me. Thank you all for being a part of my dreams.

Intuitive Chatting with Rachel LaClair we had fun playing together! I asked Rachel’s intuition questions. Of course, your own intuition is where your answers lie. We wanted to play and show you how you can show up and ask yourself questions with a voice recorder or pen and paper. Consider this show a playful workshop. (Thank you Rachel for playing with me! There are some mighty gems in this chat!)

What is Intuition? How do you write to it? Talk to it? Hear it? Today’s guest is a dear friend of mine and one of the most intuitive people I know. Well, we're all intuitive, but she has practiced using her intuition for so many years that I consider her an expert. I thought it would be fun for all of us to hear how she uses intuition in her life. I hope it inspires you to deliberately practice using yours. We give you some tips in this show which is Part One of our conversation.

I loved talking to Rachel so much we have a Part Two for you. In Part Two (Q126 released Thursday),  I talk directly to Rachel’s intuition. We had lots of fun playing in this way which is always a great reminder to me that life is for fun and joy; that practice is how you get better at things; and that you're always the one that knows what is right for you if you give yourself the space to listen.

This week’s question: Do you not have enough time or do you not have enough energy?

Today on the show, I’m welcoming my dear friend Sarah. Sarah is proof to me that energy is more important than hours on the clock.

An artist, a wife and a mother, Sarah uses her days to advocate for her amazing son (who also happens to be low functioning, Autistic and is completely non-verbal...except listen in and you’ll hear HOW and WHY he spoke two words recently and what has made him turn into a completely different kid!). Sarah also creates a wonderful home for her brilliant daughter (who also happens to have Cerebral Palsy and was relatively recently diagnosed with Asperger’s).

Sarah seems to create time between hospital visits and blogging about her family for her blog “Our Spectrum of Love" to make clothes, yoga pillows and to cook all her meals for her family from scratch. Not to mention she takes regular bathes and is the first to say that self care is her first priority.

How? How? How? As far as I know, she has the same 24 hours that I have in a day, so why do I feel like she can do ten times as much as I can?

She’s here to share how she discovered it’s not about time. It’s about energy. You’ll learn how she got rid of toxins from food to candles. You’ll also learn what made her five year old son hug her for the first time a couple of days ago! (You may need a tissue. I did.)

Sarah’s story has such loving energy. We’re not here to promote any products or to tell you how to live your life. We’re not here as experts. What we are is two girlfriends talking and sharing stories to see if maybe someone out there needed to hear this for their own lives.

Oh, and did I mention that she lost 120 lbs in six months without working out. Yeah, you will want to listen to this conversation!

Sarah's Bio:

I am a stay at home mom of two wonderfully unique kiddos who face and overcome challenges on a daily basis.  We have two dalmatians that add to the day to day joy. I am a clean eating, essential oil loving, chemical free, primal paleo modern day hippy who lives in the moment and finds the beauty in things you wouldn't think to stop and find  the beauty in. I am an artist but not in the typical sense! I am a food stylist who shows just how beautiful healthy food can be for you. Mostly however I am a woman who really enjoys living life to it's fullest. Tomorrow is never promised ... moments are fleeting but living in the now enjoying the small things brings me joy.

“If your most ‘courageous self’ was running the show, what would you be doing differently?” This is the question our guest on the show today asks all of us to answer in her new book The Courage Habit- How to accept your fears, release the past and live your courageous life.

Kate Swoboda (aka Kate Courageous) helps us understand the Science behind fear so we can tap into the courage within. I’ve often said courage  is a muscle we must use to strengthen. Think of Kate like the best exercise plan you can imagine. So excited to share our conversation together and help you change your relationship with fear!
