Come and listen to our Host, Gia-Raquel Rose, as she chats with today's guest, Erin Kinkin, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot. 

Erin is the artist and owner behind Waves of Prana, handmade jewelry and art that mix good vibes with natural beauty. Each hand crafted Amplified Energy Pendants™ is a crystal‑filled resin piece, with little botanical, celestial, and whimsical touches—each one is made to help you feel uplifted, surround you in a protective aura and feel connected to your own personal magic!

Unearthing the transformative power of crystals with Erin Kinkin, founder of Waves of Prana, we journey through the fascinating connection between crystal energy, artistic expression, and personal equilibrium.

Erin's path began as a child digging for treasures in her backyard, sensing the special energy of each quartz and pyrite she discovered. A pivotal gift of Lemurian quartz from her grandmother at age ten sparked a lifelong relationship with crystals that eventually blossomed into a unique artistic enterprise. After becoming a mother, Erin discovered something remarkable – embedding crystals within resin not only created beautiful pendants but actually amplified the stones' energetic properties, surrounding the wearer with an enhanced field of that specific energy.

The conversation weaves through the delicate balance of divine masculine and feminine energies, particularly relevant for entrepreneurs and parents navigating today's chaotic world. Both women share candid reflections on managing stress, unblocking creative energy, and finding moments of peace amid daily tumult. As Erin eloquently puts it, "Peace is not being in a quiet environment. Peace is being in the middle of chaos and finding the peace within your heart." This profound insight anchors practical discussions about using breath work, yoga postures like fish pose, and crystal energy to maintain equilibrium when life feels overwhelming.

Particular attention is given to specific crystals and their properties – from amazonite for divine feminine balance to black tourmaline for empath protection to the powerful combination of turquoise and pearl for spiritual connection and tranquility. Discover how these ancient earth treasures can serve as both energetic tools and physical reminders of your deepest intentions, helping you return to center even on your most challenging days.

Nutrition plays a vital role in aligning and supporting our solar plexus chakra, the seat of personal power and inner fire. Yellow foods like bananas, pineapples, and squash bring awareness to this power center, while protein serves as the fundamental building block for manifesting our goals and fueling our physical strength.

• Eating by chakra color is an easy way to align with specific energy centers - yellow foods support the solar plexus
• Protein is essential for building strength and fueling inner power, but requires balance to avoid kidney stress
• Ethical meat consumption presents challenges for those with both health needs and animal welfare concerns
• Free-range, humanely raised animal products offer a more mindful approach to animal protein consumption
• Eggs serve as a versatile, nutrient-dense protein option with yellow yolks that align with solar plexus energy
• The perfect protein shake combines quality protein powder, greens powder, super seeds, and potentially collagen
• Coconut water makes an excellent protein shake base that's lighter than milk alternatives

Come and listen to our Host, Tina Spoletini, as she chats with today's guest, Kimberly Jolivet, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.  

Today we’re diving deep with the incredible Kimberly Jolivet—a seasoned expert in reflexology, astrology, and energy healing. With over 30 years of experience, she helps women decode what their body and soul are trying to say. Kimberly, welcome to the show!

Discover the profound conversation between bodily wisdom and spiritual insight with reflexology and astrology expert Kimberly Jolivet. Drawing from over thirty years of experience, Kimberly reveals how our feet serve as storytellers, conveying messages about physical health and emotional wellbeing that we might otherwise miss.

The summer season sparks a unique energy activation, particularly in the heart and solar plexus chakras. This cosmic alignment creates the perfect conditions for building confidence and finding your "inner roar" - energy that can sustain you through challenging times ahead. Rather than viewing summer merely as vacation time, Kimberly suggests using this period for deep reflection, creative development, and intentional self-discovery.

One of the most transformative mindset shifts discussed is moving away from people-pleasing toward authentic self-expression. "I don't compromise me within the compromising with others," Kimberly shares, describing how honoring her own boundaries has created deeper, more meaningful connections in her life. This principle extends to her parenting philosophy, where teaching children to advocate for their own needs creates healthier, more confident adults.

The conversation delves into powerful self-care practices that transcend superficial indulgence. Simple rituals like moisturizing your feet become profound acts of self-acknowledgment: "You're taking five minutes to acknowledge that the body has merit, that the body exists, that I exist." These everyday practices build a foundation for greater self-awareness and intuitive decision-making.

Looking forward, Kimberly reveals her current project developing a specialized tarot deck integrated with her holistic approach to wellness. This creative endeavor combines different healing modalities to help people become advocates for their own healing journey - decoding what their bodies and souls are trying to communicate.

Come and listen to our Host, Tina Spoletini, as she chats with today's guest, Michaela Foulkes, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.  

Michaela Foulkes is an internationally respected Fat Loss and Fitness Coach.  Since 1999 she has had extensive backgrounds in massage therapy, kettlebell instruction, cellular nutrition, intermittent fasting, slightly extended fasting (36-48 hours), and in pain management and prevention. 

Through her programs, coaching, speaking, writing, and ebook, “Power & Pain", Michaela helps women (and men) over 40 lose weight easily when they've thought it impossible, or create robust health when they thought, "feeling old", was inevitable. 

Have you ever felt like your body is waging war against you after 40? That somehow your metabolism has betrayed you, making weight loss seem impossible no matter what you try? This eye-opening conversation with Michaela Folks, an internationally respected fat loss and fitness coach, completely reframes that narrative.

Michaela reveals the profound truth that has guided her 20+ year career: your body isn't broken or betraying you – it's actually trying to protect you. Drawing from her extensive background in cellular nutrition, kettlebell instruction, and intermittent fasting, she shares how our bodies are designed to burn both sugar and fat for energy, but most of us have unintentionally trained our systems to rely primarily on sugar.

The heart of this episode centers around "mitochondrial reconstruction" – essentially rewiring your cellular energy factories to efficiently access stored fat. This metabolic shift takes just 9-10 days to establish but creates transformative changes including reduced hunger, eliminated cravings, improved energy, better sleep, and easier weight management. As Michaela explains, "When you're situated to use your own fat for fuel, you don't have cravings. You don't clamor for donuts or ice cream."

What makes this conversation particularly valuable is how Michaela breaks down complex biological processes into practical, actionable guidance. She shares her "Holy Trinity of Health" – proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, and high-quality supplements – and explains how each component supports your body's natural healing capabilities. Her insights about stress management are especially illuminating: when we experience stress, our bodies release hormones designed to give us quick energy, and simple physical movements can prevent that energy from being stored as fat.

Whether you're struggling with weight loss resistance, chronic inflammation, or simply feeling that getting older means feeling worse, this episode offers hope through science-based solutions and a refreshingly compassionate understanding of how our bodies actually work.

Come and listen to our Host, Joyce Benning, as she chats with today's guest, Anne Klossing, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.  

The spiritual journey toward authentic service begins with a profound realization: we are both human and divine. Anne Klossing, channeler and self-described "storyteller to the soul," guides us through this transformative understanding on this episode of Divas That Care's Boss Babe Summer series.

Anne shares her personal evolution from working at an agricultural center that was "literally eating her up" to pursuing her spiritual calling as an author and channeler. Her vulnerability shines as she describes how her book project stalled when she allowed her ego to "drive the bus of life" rather than connecting with her divine purpose. After years of spiritual guidance—including a profound message from Louise Hay herself—Anne finally experienced a breakthrough when she learned to distinguish between inspiration (being "in spirit") and motivation (pursuing outcomes).

The heart of this conversation examines what it truly means to live in service. Is it possible to serve both ourselves and others authentically? Anne offers powerful insights: "In service is knowing what you're here to do and being the best that you can possibly be, with compassion and grace." She guides listeners through practical self-inquiry exercises that can unlock stagnant businesses, creative projects, or life directions.

For those feeling called to something greater but unsure how to proceed, Anne offers this wisdom: "Your purpose will be constant. Your vocations may revolve around that." The persistent ideas that wake you in the middle of the night—the ones that don't fade despite years passing—these are your soul's authentic calling. Like deer stepping cautiously yet bravely into the meadow, we each must find the courage to be seen in our truth while honoring our journey's timing.

Ready to reconnect with your divine essence and discover how you can best serve? This episode offers both practical guidance and spiritual inspiration for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone seeking deeper purpose in their work and life.

Come and listen to our Host, Joyce Benning, as she chats with today's guest, Regina Curtis, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.  

Have you ever wondered why certain physical sensations arise when you're making decisions? That tingling in your gut, the heaviness in your chest, or maybe—like our guest Regina Curtis—the peculiar experience of sweaty shins when something isn't right? These aren't random quirks but sophisticated personal guidance systems waiting to be decoded.

Regina Curtis, founder of Edmatry and co-founder of the Mingle Learning Collaborative, joins Joyce Benning to explore the art of "following your flow" in both life and career. Curtis reveals her framework of holistic entrepreneurship, which seamlessly integrates personal life, professional skills, and infrastructure into a cohesive approach that feels authentic rather than fragmented.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as they explore the six channels through which our intuition communicates: thoughts, images, emotions, movement, sensory experiences, and spatial awareness. Curtis explains how recognizing your unique "yes" and "no" indicators can transform decision-making from anxiety-inducing guesswork to confident clarity.

Perhaps most powerful is Curtis's vision of transparent stepping stones appearing beneath her feet with each forward step. When she wondered about a safety net, wisdom arrived: "The net only appears when you need it. Stop looking for it. The steps appear when you need them. Look for those instead." This metaphor perfectly captures the essence of trust—not as blind faith but as active engagement with life's unfolding path.

For those feeling stuck between masculine drive and feminine receptivity, Curtis offers a refreshing perspective on balancing these energies. She introduces the concept of "touchstones"—time, teachers, tools, techniques, talents, and technology—that support us through challenges and help us maintain alignment even during difficult transitions.

Ready to transform your relationship with intuition? This episode offers practical strategies for turning faith into a playful game, using gratitude as a perspective shifter, and recognizing the signs and synchronicities confirming you're on the right path. Discover how following your flow isn't about passive drifting but active co-creation with life's magic.

What happens when a Master Life Coach decides to shed her corporate identity and step boldly into entrepreneurship? In this captivating conversation with Kat Mitchell, we explore the exhilarating (and sometimes messy) journey of building an authentic coaching business while staying true to your highest values.

Kat doesn't sugarcoat the challenges. From workshop communication mishaps to the vulnerability of recording videos in public spaces, she shares her real-world experiments with refreshing honesty. Her summer mantra—"bold action and visibility"—isn't just a cute phrase but a daily commitment to growth even when it feels uncomfortable.

What truly sets this episode apart is Kat's brilliant insights on energy management.

Come and listen to our Host, Gia-Raquel Rose, as she shares with you on our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
 Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.  

Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

The golden flame of your solar plexus holds the key to transformative action. When we tap into this power center—the seat of our passion, drive, and ambition—we unlock the ability to move beyond ideas and into purposeful creation.

Many of us experience brilliant flashes of inspiration that quickly fade as we return to addressing the urgent matters demanding our attention. This reactive pattern keeps us perpetually responding to "the fire in front of our face" rather than proactively building the life and impact we desire. How might we shift this dynamic?

Through this guided meditation episode, we explore the delicate balance between divine feminine receptivity and ambitious action. True leadership doesn't require aggression—it flourishes when we align our actions with our authentic selves and core values. Success expands beyond traditional metrics of wealth to encompass holistic balance across health, relationships, service, and personal fulfillment.

The meditation practice invites you into a restorative bridge posture (with modifications available) to gently invert energy flow toward your solar plexus. As you visualize a golden flame emanating from this center, you'll encounter the silhouette of your truest self emerging from within. This sacred connection provides guidance on your aligned next steps and reminds you that you're supported by ancestors, guides, and universal energy in fulfilling your unique purpose.

Remember that your path isn't in competition with anyone else's—there is abundance enough for all. The power to create meaningful change resides within you, waiting to be acknowledged and channeled with both strength and love. Join us in this transformative practice to illuminate your purpose and ignite your inner fire.

Your power center deserves attention. The solar plexus chakra—that fiery, yellow energy center just above your navel—holds the key to your personal strength, confidence, and ability to pursue your passions without apology. When balanced, it allows you to take up space in the world unapologetically; when depleted, you might find yourself constantly saying "sorry" for simply existing.

In this deep exploration of Manipura (solar plexus chakra), we uncover the fascinating connection between your power center and other energy systems in your body. Did you know you have a primary chakra that influences your personality? For those with a dominant solar plexus, you might recognize yourself as goal-oriented, achievement-driven, and occasionally prone to overcommitment. Understanding this energetic blueprint offers profound insights into your natural tendencies and potential growth areas.

We journey through powerful yoga postures specifically designed to balance this crucial energy center. From the challenging Navasana (Boat Pose) that directly targets your core to the expansive Ustrasana (Camel Pose) that creates length and openness, each asana serves a purpose in your energetic maintenance. The Warrior series takes center stage as we explore how these poses embody the essence of the solar plexus—radiating strength from your center outward into all aspects of your life. For women especially, maintaining core strength isn't just about aesthetics; it's fundamentally important for structural support and long-term wellbeing.

Ready to claim your power and speak your truth? Join me in this empowering practice that honors both the fiery and receptive aspects of your third chakra. Remember: true strength begins at your center and emanates outward into everything you do.
