Chai Talk

What's your problem? This Chai Talk packs a punch in helping women to identify and solve a problem. It begins with trusting yourself and ends with being brave enough to do something with that information. Tune in to hear how making hard decisions can guide us towards living by our priorities and values - NOT by pleasing other people.

Grab a warm cup of something yummy and join in to listen to my conversation with my dear friend, Lucy Duni. We talk about self-care, perfectionism, failure, and self-worth. In our discussion we talk about modeling positive self-talk for our children and teaching them how to slow down by limiting their activities. We cover busy-ness and how we're shifting from hustling to prioritizing our time. Lastly, we share books that we love by Dr. Brené Brown and Shauna Niequist. Lucy has so much wisdom to share! I hope that you enjoy this Chai Talk as much as I did!

Is it hard for you to Be Who You Are in the world? Sometimes when we enter groups we are the only people with jobs, families, bodies, or finances that look different than others. The idea of being "different" often makes us want to shrink and disappear. In this episode of Chai Talk I share a recent discussion that I had with my daughter about being okay in her vulnerability and how to protect her flame. At the end I have a message for you for those days when you're in extreme vulnerability or for when shame is knocking at your door.

In honor of Fire Prevention Week and Mental Health Awareness Day I'm sharing this interview with my husband. My husband is a firefighter and in this episode he sheds light on the importance of self-care. We discuss self-care in relation to mental health, stress reduction, and job satisfaction. At the end of this episode he asks me a question that may serve the spouses of first responders. Listen in to learn more about the importance of self-care and caring for the people that we love. I hope that you enjoy this episode!

Grab a Fall drink and listen in as Jenn Prentice and I discuss topics such as: social media, living with intention, core values, and clothes (of course!). We talk about who we are when we're in alignment with our values and who we become when we're not (hint: irritable, tense, rushed versions of ourselves!). Jenn has so much wisdom to share! Tune in and let us know what you think!

How is your September going, Girl? If there is something that has been demanding your attention maybe you could put it down for a nap. Let go of it for a few hours (or minutes) so that you can come back to it with more creativity, organization, and freedom. Listen in to hear about this process and self-care ideas.

Today we have a special guest, Natalie Maese! Listen to our conversation (over dirty chai, of course!) about self-care, freedom in the body, and our culture of "busy." My favorite part of our discussion was about female friendships. Natalie has some sage advice for us about repairing friendships - it's so good! Grab yourself your favorite beverage and let's dig in.

How do you deal with rude people? Sometimes strangers enter our day and bring bad vibes. This Chai Talk is about how we can handle rude people. The episode examines how to use mantra, gain perspective, and cultivate our own positive energy. Learn more about "Shoulders Back, Heart Forward" and how it helps me to be both kind and strong. Special mentions: Music by Jessica Martindale, The Daring Way™ based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown.

Do you find that you compare yourself to other people? This Chai Talk is all about how to stay in your own lane. I propose three questions that we can ask ourselves in order to live a life that feels good on the inside. Do what you love; know your limits; and get clear on your priorities. When your path is guided by your heart, you'll always be home. Thanks for listening!
