Cupcakes and Consciousness

In this episode, listen to us talk about the importance of rest and reflection as entrepreneurs.

The past few months have been a wild ride. 

With so many things going on in our business (2nd location, new website, 2nd book finalized, podcasting, day to day operations with 35 staff etc.), we were both feeling stressed and scattered. 

We decided to take some time away, Kelly went to B.C and Erinn to the Yukon and Alaska to reconnect with nature and come back refreshed. (Check out our IG pages @kellychildsxo @erinnweatherbie to see pics and videos from these beautiful places.)

Listen to us talk about why we chose these places for our vacation and the importance of spending time in nature. 

And finally, we end the episode talking about some profound realizations we had after returning from our trips!

We're sitting in our office at Kelly's Bake Shoppe, in Downtown Burlington, on the eve of our 7th Anniversary.

Listen in to hear about the craziness to grow it all! We are feeling so much heartfelt gratitude for this incredible business we've created - and shared with you all!

We have had a million challenges and we've learned a ton facing it all as stoic entrepreneurs all the while bringing in consultants, coaches and a lot of going inward to find out who we are. Find out why this anniversary is SO special to us.

In this episode, we're recapping  the Dr. Joe Dispenza advanced week long retreat we attended in September. We had so much to share that we needed to break it down into two episodes! 

An absolutely life changing and magical experience.

XO

In this episode, we are recapping our experience at the Dr. Joe Dispenza advanced week long retreat back in September (sorry we're so tardy!!!!)! 

Anyways, it was a simply magical experience and we took away so much. If you ever have the chance to go to one of his retreats, GO! 

Words can't even begin to describe how powerful it truly was.

TUNE IN! XO

PART 2 COMING SOON. 

In this episode, Kelly and Erinn talk about healing from traumatic experiences through forgiveness.

We're also recapping Kelly's amazing Forgiveness Meditation event (that 200 women attended!) back in October. 

Tune in! 

Kelly decided to share some wisdom.

How does it seem like some days we are low and others we have more energy? Somehow we just feel more connected.

Without energy to power us through to our passion, we wilt. Our dreams don't come true.

We become a victim to excuses.

Listen in.

Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie are talking BOUNDARIES (The Disease to Please)! As women we have a hard time with this.

We are, as women, so inclined to say, "Yes". Why?

How can we learn to say, NO?

How do we bring self-love into our lives?

We live our chaotic lives through the lens of social media and so many external pressures and this has caused us to lose the true connection to ourselves and our core authenticity. Our TRUTH.

We judge ourselves hard. Sometimes harder than others might be doing it.

8:00 Kelly discusses having to end a coaching/consulting relationship and why it was so hard.

If people are disappointed with our NO's - it is because they have an agenda of their own. It is not for you to own. We cannot own other's disappointments nor their reactions. We can only bless them and trust in our truth.

12:30 Kelly Childs standing up to City Council and Developers to speak her TRUTH and not shrink. Being brave in a patriarchal world.

Episode ONE - February 24, 2019

Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie share how Kelly's Bake Shoppe opened. What was it like? Family? Business? Mixing the two.

Inspiration from Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen NY...the family opened Kindfood in Downtown Burlington in Spring 2010. Connecting to Animal's souls and protecting them and loving them...was the vision.

Describe Kelly and Erinn's true passion!

Kelly's Bake Shoppe ranked #3 in the World on Buzzfeed. Wow! How did this happen next to all the big bakeries in the world?

What do we mean to people? Sustainable for the planet.

Our cookbook, Made With Love is a bestseller and has over 100 recipes to make that are plant-based and gluten-free.

Why do we, as a society eat empty calories? Why is chronic dis-ease so rampant?

24:00 Recommend the book called The China Study and it changed Kelly's life...

29:10 Intro to the Conscious part...When your soul has been touched, you cannot deny the truth of your life's purpose.

Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie talk gratitude. How this simple shift in thinking changes your whole life.

THANK YOU to our staff! We just finished getting through Easter holiday with our craziness. Wow!

Adrenal fatigue. What is that?

How do we as leaders keep everyone positive and invigorated.

Being in DEEP GRATITUDE for each person that is in our business. We care so much.

How do AFFIRMATIONS make a difference? Set your mind to co-create your day. We need to OVERCOME our negative chatter and our past life conditioning.

How to change your REALITY that will affect your personality.

Visualization of our future is the way to do this. In meditation we visualize ourselves in our new life and our mind accepts it as reality.

How to be in a state of gratitude for all that we are and all that we can be.

Bringing that AWARENESS into our BUSINESS...Thank you to our team! You guys are so awesome!

The awareness of how your energy feels in GRATITUDE is life changing. This awareness is the secret to joy.

Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie talk with Shiona Thompson 900CHML

We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and that we are all deeply inspired by incredible women - they do not have to be our mothers. We have aunts, sisters, grandmothers, dads, best friend's mothers, school teachers, nursery school teachers, next door neighbours,...the list in endless.

"Mothering" Day is all-inclusive and it ensures that the village rises together and leaves no one behind. There are many women who have chosen not to have children and many women who struggle with having children. There are many children too that don't have mothers and the idea of Mother's Day causes them tremendous pain. We've witnessed it first hand.

The idea of Mother's Day (a big money grab day for consumerism) affects many people in a negative way and they suffer with this recognition of 'mothers'.

Let's change it to MOTHERING Day!

Listen in to our thoughts.... xo
