We discuss how it can have such a positive or negative impact on our days and how we can overcome obstacles that get in our way when it comes to allowing money to flow freely. We also offer a giveaway for sharing about our podcast and leaving a review.We touched on:1)  Scarcity mindset and how it can hold us back from living our best lives, and how we can hold onto money, stuff, and also be a collector of thngs because we fear there will ‘never be enough’ when in reality, there will always be enough.

2) Limiting beliefs around money and how we are as valuable as everyone else we invest money in on a regular basis. We talk about how as Mom’s we often brag about how cheap we got things for us - but never hold back when spending on our loved ones.

In this episode we talk about how we are always supported, and that there are signs and symbols everywhere around us, but that we need to be aware and keep our eyes open and trust that all things are happening for us.We touched on:1)  We do not have to figure out how or why we see symbols, we just need to trust that when we have that feeling that it’s a sign, that it is. Trust it!  Awareness is key!

2) Signs and wisdom can come to us in things we see, or even in random posts, animals, or lyrics in songs.  Sometimes songs appear, and if we are listening, we can hear the wisdom that is there for us.  And how you can write down ‘Evidence of your alignment’ when things happen, or there’s a sign, or when things feel like incredible synchronicities… you will see how often you create your reality. There’s evidence of it.  Write your own ‘evidence’ in a note in your phone.  Your Reticular Activating System is powerful.

3) We touched briefly about trusting your body, and how to use muscle testing. Jenna gives an example of how to do it, and where she’s used it in her life.4) When we lean in and fully listen to our bodies, and listen to the ‘signs’ our bodies are giving us, then we can feel better. Our bodies, our gut, our inner knowing… it’s always talking to us. Trust it! Our bodies know what they need, we need to trust and listen to them. The signs are there.

In this episode we talk about navigating our emotions during times of spontaneous frustration. Is it the moon? Possibly. We must always remember that everything is happening for us, the good and the not so good things.We touched on:

1)  The moon cycle! If the moon can affect the tides in the ocean, then it probably has an affect on our bodies, since we are comprised of 60-70% water.

2) Finding ways to shift the energy. Jenna shares how she started a spontaneous dance party with her kids and it was exactly what they all needed.

3) Leaning into the uncomfortable feelings instead of shoving them down and ignoring them. It’s a practice.

In this episode we talk about trusting yourself and allowing yourself to know that you know what is best for you. So often we do certain things so that we don’t let others down or because others want us to do it. When we honor how we are feeling and what feels best to us, we surround ourselves naturally with the right people and don’t feel that guilt we have too often felt from ‘letting others down.’We touched on:1)  Stopping and recognizing where you feel emotions and heaviness within our bodies. Learning how to understand what this is trying to tell us and how to work through it.

2) How we have become so conditioned to just do what is expected of us by others so they are happy and content with us all while sacrificing so much of ourselves.

3) How our human designs have actually played a role in helping us understand ourselves and recognize that we need time to process our emotions and respect when we are ready to move forward.

In this episode we talk about how celebrating the little things is so important.  How when we do that we recognize that there is so much beauty and so many reasons to celebrate in life!

We touched on:1)  Recognize when you can celebrate the little things, you will feel successful. You intentionally set yourself up for success. Celebrate folding the laundry when it’s still warm.  And everything, but not just the massive things in your life.

2) Jenna shares a story about something that happened with one of her cows last year, and how she delivered a backwards calf, all by herself… and that this year, that same cow is expecting again!

3) Being alive is something to celebrate! When we get good at celebrating the little wins, then the bigger things feel that much bigger and more special! You are worth celebrating the little things!4) Recognizing when you have a hard time celebrating the little things, is a catalyst to you starting to do it! Celebrate every single box you check off on the to-do list!  5) We are here to learn from our children, and teach them how to trust themselves.  Many of us are learning only now as adults to trust ourselves, and if we can teach our children now, what a blessing that will be.
