  • Nurturing yourself through inner stillness w/ host Melissa D. Barry

    Just like nature follows a cyclical pattern through its seasons, we too must learn to honor the wisdom of stillness. When we carry too much on our shoulders, when it’s constant chaos in our minds, or we constantly rush after time, and cannot seem to stop ourselves from the relentless pursuit of our ambitions; we end up feeling depleted. So, today I'm inviting you to reconnect to your true essence and inner peace through stillness and conscious rest amidst the outer chaos.

  • You are not alone w/ Melissa D. Barry

    "There's no worse feeling than feeling alone in a room full of people or in a crowd."
    With over 7 billion people on this Earth, it rationally shouldn’t make sense to feel alone, yet it is a feeling experienced by many of us. When we’re going through something hard and challenging, we often think that we’re the only one. Nonetheless, it doesn’t have to be your truth, your reality can look different. Today, I want to remind you that you are not alone and that you don’t have to do it all alone.

  • Clear your mind space with Feng shui w/ Feng Shui consultant Jeannette Cieszykowski

    We’ve all heard about Feng shui, this ancient Chinese philosophy developed over 5,000 years ago. Turns out Feng shui is more than having a beautiful home with lots of flow and pretty decoration, it’s also about mindset.

     I invited, Jeannette Cieszykowski, founder of Elemental Clarity, and classical Feng Shui consultant to educate us during this conversation. In the last 10 years, she’s been supporting people in creating an energy-rich home-life that supports their health, wealth, and happiness by using Feng-Shui.

  • Embrace your new chapter: You deserve it w/ host Melissa D. Barry

    As a follow-up to last month's episode which pushed us to overcome change and uncertainty when faced with newness. Today we're fully jumping into our next chapter, accepting it all, even when it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Yes, new things - including great opportunities or living our dreams often lead us to a very layered experience making us feel both gratitude and excitement as well as fear, dissociation, unworthiness, and attachment to the old. Let's see how to be at peace with this duality, feel the fear and fully accept this new chapter with everything it has to offer.
