In this episode we talk about essential oils as a powerful tool to help work through mindset blocks. Essential oils are what originally brought Niki & Jenna together. Life comes with many emotions, especially the last few years and essential oils have been a tool we have both leaned heavily on. We touched on:1)  using oils for emotions and which ones are our favourites

2) how simple they truly can be to use and how they are a bit of trial and error but once you get comfortable they are something the entire family can use

3) how oils have led us to listen to our bodies and understand why we are choosing certain oils for certain issues as well as noting where the pain and discomfort is in our bodies

In this episode we talk about how we can support our children when we leave them at preschool or school, and discuss with them, why we are leaving, where we are going, and help them understand that we will return.  We touch on a couple of tools that we have used with our own kids, in different stages of life.We touched on:1)  How Reiki, an energy healing modality, can be used to understand where fears and limiting beliefs come from, and help to clear those deep rooted beliefs.

2) Talking to our children in a clear, concise way, that is age appropriate for them can help them understand, and feel less fear. And also how understanding where their fear may come from, and how to remind them that they are safe.

3) We can teach our children how to process through their emotions, and understand that emotions are a part of life.  We can model this through processing our own emotions.4) For small children, we can ask them to put a colour to their emotion, and tell us where they feel that colour is in their bodies.  For example, anger can feel red, or happiness can feel yellow or purple.  Helps them to recognize and verbalize how they are feeling, in an age appropriate way.

In this episode we talk about where limiting beliefs can stem from, and how it can be the simplest, unintentional thing, but a belief of a child based on their reactions of their parents.We touched on:1)  How as parents we begin the process of creating limiting beliefs within our children simply by not giving them the credit or recognition they desire on something as simple as an art drawing.

2) How we subconsciously look for ways to validate the limiting beliefs we have to prove them right.

3) How something as simple as movement can shift our physical energy and also paying attention to the words we tell ourselves can massively impact our belief in ourselves.

In this episode we talk about how we sometimes put barriers to feeling JOY. They can be either intentional or unintentional.  One emotion that is often a barrier to joy is Fear.  Fear can hold us back from experiencing incredible new things that could, and do bring JOY! We touched on:1)  How often we create rules or scenarios around why we can NOT feel joy. Or can not do things that are just for us.  Often, for Moms, there is guilt around wanting to do things for ourselves.

2) We have learned from those who went before us, and our children will learn from us. So modeling how to take good care of ourselves, and our emotions teaches our children how to do that for themselves as well. When we fill our cups first, then we can pour into others from our overflow

3) Fear can be a huge barrier to joy, but we need to remember that on the other side of fear, is usually really, really good things.  Doing things that are outside our comfort zone, help us to grow, and change.  Where does fear show up in your life?4) Humans need connection. We are supposed to be in groups together. We are powerful together. And at times we hold ourselves back, and have forgotten how to be humans in community, and how good it feels.

In this episode we talk about how a strong vision can help create anything you want, and how that vision can grow and change as time goes on and get even better. We talk about the Wellness Summit that Jenna created last fall after she woke up with an idea, and how bringing these tools together to help support our bodies, and emotions was the driving force behind it, and how it has evolved into an online community that can support people around the world.We touched on:1)  Following your heart and creating even when you don’t know the outcome. How a dream turned into an event that helped many, many women, and grew and changed into an online space, a Children’s Retreat and is now heading into it’s second annual run.

2) Simple tools that we all have within us that can help settle us and get grounded when things feel like they are spinning. Our breath is a powerful tool, and simply stopping when we start to spin, and taking some deep breaths can completely shift our energy.  Pairing that with a grounding oil can even help more.

3) We each talked about our favourite 2 tools that help support us, and how sometimes the most powerful tools we have are within us.  We advocate for finding what helps you, whether that’s seeing someone, or using simple tools like breathing and journaling. We touch on not overthinking what to do, but simply trusting, and leaning into what feels right.

In this episode we talk about visualizing, having a clear picture of what we want, and how that can help us to create anything we want. Focusing on JOY and finding JOY helps us to see the beautiful moments around us, and being fully present wherever you are, can help you see the beauty in the everyday.We touched on:1) Getting very specific on what you want, allows you to recognize when it comes to you. What you focus on, you create.  When we focus on JOY we will create it.

2) When we choose how we want to feel, such as feeling JOY, and being super intentional about it, we watch for it in our lives. Such as if you are thinking about a white Jeep, you will see them everywhere.

3) Worthiness, and self belief can show up, but we still need to believe that we are all worthy and deserve anything we want. The universe wants to give us anything we want, but we need to choose ourselves, and not let our ego try to protect us and keep us safe. 4) Have a crystal clear vision of what you want.  Feel the feeling that you want. If you want a new vehicle, or a special vacation, or whatever it is, feel the feeling you will experience when you have it.  Our conscious and subconscious do not know the difference between what we visualize, and what is real.  Feel it.

In this episode we discuss how we can begin to consciously take control of our days. What is one thing you can do today that will bring you joy? One thing that will make you smile and feel gratitude?

We dive into a specific instance where Jenna chose Joy and how it’s still impacting her life! Jenna grew up on a pig farm but hasn’t been involved with pigs for nearly 15years. She decided quite randomly to purchase a couple pigs and surprise her husband. 

There were so many emotions and so many ups and downs over the weekend as I struggled with myself to actually accept that I was capable of bringing myself joy in this way!

By choosing joy consciously we can increase our vibrations and when our vibration is high we attract the things we truly desire. 

By choosing to bring these pigs home our family has had so many laughs. 

What are you going to do today that will bring you joy?

We are back and this time we are discussing hard work and how understanding myself has shifted what hard work can actually look like. 

Niki helps Jenna dive deep and understand how and where this shift began. 

Jenna is a Manifestor by human design and is learning about rest cycles and understanding that this is more important than always doing all the things. 

We discuss how when we understand ourselves, we can easily create and allow all that is meant to be for us. 

We talk about how it’s become a societal norm to be busy to appear successful yet ultimately ‘what is enough’ can only be determined by ourselves. 

We discuss generational roots and how so much of what we carry is actually not necessarily ours. 

Understanding alignment and what actually feels good vs what we ‘SHOULD’ be doing. 

We drop little tidbits about human design along the way and how this tools has been so powerful in helping us to grow through all this hard work expectations. 

We drop some hard truths about really understanding why you are doing the work you are doing! This life is meant to be fun and waking up dreading what you are spending your day doing does not sound fun! 

How can you make money by using your gifts and skills in a way that brings you joy?

In this episode we talk about perfectionism and how it can be a deep rooted belief about self, but that nobody is perfect. We discuss why ‘done is better than perfect’ and that it’s okay to show people ‘the mess’ because truly, the message is in the mess. In this episode we touched on perfection and doing ‘the right thing.’ 1) We dig into what ‘the right thing’ might actually be. Are we basing these thought patterns on what we have been told is right or what we feel is right.

2) We touch very briefly on human design and how this is such a powerful tool to understand ourselves.

3) Learning to trust ourselves is such a huge piece of the puzzle and stopping the overthinking can transform your life. Trying to be perfect in what we say and do and put out into the world is only ‘perfect’ if it feels right to you! There is no perfection. Only what feels right.

In this episode we share who we used to be, years ago, and how we met. The ways we used to cope with things that happened in our lives.  We talk about how hard things in both of our lives brought us together, and how in life the things that happen, work for us, even when we can not understand how or why.We touched on:1)  Beliefs that each of us held about ourselves and how that showed up in our everyday lives.

2) How tragedy or hard things in our lives and being desperate for change, can bring us to some of the most beautiful blessings.  How to embrace the season you are in.  

3) Belief systems, and rooted beliefs are so much like a dandelion and we can not just quickly pluck them and let them go. Growth is a lifelong process, but can be beautiful.  Especially when you connect with other like minded individuals.4) We talked briefly about tools such as Essential Oils and the Cultivate Now platform for personal growth.
