Comfort Zones are deceiving because although comfortable - they hold you back from things that can fill your life with so much joy. What’s something you wish you could just go for? Are you standing in your own way? In this episode I briefly discuss how to comfortable push yourself outside your bubble. Ultimately if we stay stuck we hold ourselves back from greatness. In addition to comfort zones I chat a little bit about the importance of exercise at every size. Moving our bodies for mental, physical and spiritual growth. Fluidity is so important. Staying inspired, listening to our bodies and going with the flow✨ I love being able to share a daily mantra with each episode and a self care tip at the end of every episode along with bouts of inspiration that pop into my mind from time to time. Thank you for listening and I hope you are able to take away a piece of positivity from any episode to brighten your day. This was recorded September 11th which was also a huge reminder that even through some of the toughest times we can still stand strong and come together and heal. Sending Blessings always!

How do we balance our own health?

What does it mean to be healthy? In my opinion, health is balancing your mind, your body and soul. In this episode I give tips and tricks on how to balance each of those aspects of health. The world of diet culture doesn’t have our best interest at heart when it comes to health and I explain why crash diets do more harm then good for our metabolism.

But let me ask you this: How do you talk to yourself when no one is looking? How is your nutrition? Are you restricting or binging and falling down the same old vicious cycles? Do you implement a regular exercise routine? What are your favorite ways to keep your body moving?

It’s important to push past our limitations. It’s important to be kind to ourselves as we make habit changes. Each of us have plenty to offer in our own way. We all bring something unique and authentic to every table we sit at. In today’s episode I share what has worked for me over the years and what currently helps me on my own journey. I talk more in depth about how there is no one size fits all “quick-fix” plan. This is why I focus on our minds, our bodies and our souls.

Our mind is controlled by our words and thoughts. Choose your words wisely.

Our body is controlled by our activity and nutrition. Fuel your body in ways that make you feel good.

Our soul is controlled by behaviors and belief. Show up and let your light shine through.

In this episode I also share my own health struggles with my recent PCOS diagnosis and how I manage my lifestyle with my own bouts of emotional eating. I talk about how to set boundaries with our loved ones who become too comfortable discussing our weight. We as humans are creatures of habit and the changes we wish to make lies within. The power is in our hands. We have to love ourselves and be kind to ourselves in order to see a successful shift in habits. You can find me on Instagram: Dish Best Served where I share more, we can support one another & you can follow my daily activity.

Today’s episode is overdue & is a completely raw and unedited recording. Straight from the heart. Rid yourself of doubt and understand the difference between the Givers & the Takers. Remember that your light shines bright in its own way and when you utilize the power of prayer through meditation or through a way of your own, you will ignite your own light. Learning boundaries is important and doing what you love leads to ultimate success. Don’t worry about following the straight and narrow, it’s okay to forge your own path. Remember to see your own beauty and allow it to shine onto all that you do! When you are an artist or a fellow creative — it’s easy to get into your own way. However, with the power of prayer and creating positive habits and boundaries you will manifest the life you deserve!

If you follow along on Instagram, you know I love my Animal Spirit deck that was gifted to me last year. For today’s reading you can pick one of the crystals I discuss and hear your own intuitive reading or soak in all the good energy and things we can learn from each message. In this episode I’ll be reading straight from my guidebook in hopes that these messages can fuel us with hope, inspiration and growth. This is my first podcast reading & I have a feeling I’ll do more again in the future. Many times tarot decks get misunderstood to be negative when it can actually shine a positive light in your life. This deck, by Kim Krans called Animal Spirit — The Wild Unknown, was my first ever tarot deck and I feel very spiritually connected to it. I also mention in this episode that if you are religious and listening to a Tarot reading doesn’t feel right for you, I was raised Catholic and enjoy reading daily devotions on Kindle as well that I mentioned in the episode. The book is called UnShakeable by Christine Caine. Overall, no matter your spiritual background, there is comfort in knowing we are all guided and protected today and always. There are messages to listen to loud and clear if we pay close attention to them 🙏🏻

Last night was the new moon in Taurus, a new moon represents a time to relax and recharge. It’s a time in our life to refocus and allow the transformations of life to take place. Relinquish that control! On this episode, I also discuss what I call “food psychology” and how important it is to understand our eating habits and why we do the things the way we do. Food is meant to be enjoyed and not meant to be labeled as “good” or “bad”. Balance and self-love are the most significant keys in forming healthy habits. I’ll be sharing what I do to better understand my own relationship with food and what I do to continue daily self-care. With any habit we wish to change it’s important to stay consistent and have that daily practice so that we can ultimately transform and rebirth into what we want. We are the ever growing caterpillar that constantly morphs into many butterflies in our lifetime. There will be constant cycles, as the ebb and flow and it’s important to embrace the ride.

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 and I wanted to share my experiences in hopes that this podcast may help someone in some way. Can you believe we have all been battling this virus for over a year. Our worlds have turned upside down but we are stronger when we support one another. We are in this together. This virus has its affect on everyone in different ways so I wanted to share my story and why it’s important to get tested even if you don’t think you are “that” sick. Spreading love and light to all my listeners. May you all stay healthy and well as we continue to battle this virus together. There is a brighter future ahead✨ Be sure to stay tuned for my next episode that I will be recording soon as I will be back to my regular scheduled programming shortly! ❤️

Today I discuss how business and health/wellness goals work hand in hand. We have to put in the work if we want to seek change in our life and as it’s said, nothing worth having in life comes easy. Just remember you are worthy of everything you desire and your mindset will ultimately lead you to succeed in all areas of your life. If 2020 taught us anything — it’s that we are unstoppable, brave and capable. 2021 brings hope and new beginnings so it’s important that we remind ourselves of the power in confidence and in our communities. March is International Women’s month and I love seeing women supporting women. I’ll always clap for others successes while I continue to build my own empire. There is a seat for everyone at the table❤️

Do you feel supported? It shouldn’t be a question but sometimes it is! And today’s podcast we’re giving a good, high vibe pep talk about following your passions despite what others say. Find you tribe & shine!

Unfortunately this year there has been a lot of loss in my life so I’ve use this platform to share how I face some of my own personal struggles and how I learned to heal. Finding healthy ways to cope is so important. Stuffing your emotions or not allowing yourself to feel all the feels can be detrimental to your well-being. As I discussed today the stages of grieving we also talk about the various ways you can heal and grow. Today’s mantra is “even after the darkest of nights the sun will rise” because tomorrow brings a new day. With hope and faith we can accomplish and get through anything in our lives. The stages of grieving and the emotions associated with loss or not often talked about so I felt it was important to share my story with all of you today and to share how those feelings are valid and necessary in order to start your own healing journey. Wishing you all a happy, blessed and healthy New Year🙏🏻

On this episode we are discussing astrology, gratitude and abundance and how to stay uplifting during difficult times. With the upcoming US election and constant overwhelming news on Covid19 it’s important to stay informed but to also slow down, stay focused and uplifted. Be confident and discover your purpose, allow yourself to heal through your journey!❤️
