Empowered Practice

Oh wow, you all! You are NOT going to want to miss this episode! 

In it, I sat down with my dear friend Annah, Brand Strategist, Life Coach, and Tarot Goddess, to chat about her NEVER-BEFORE-SHARED journey through autoimmunity (RA and Lupus).

You won't find many post's about Annah's journey that she shares here today; not because it isn't a big or important platform, but because she INTENTIONALLY chooses not to make her life's work about illness. In fact, it's her belief that R.A. (rheumatoid arthritis) saved her life by helping her cultivate the perspectives and lifestyle practices that allow her to THRIVE! 

In this episode, she shares her journey through it and all the lessons, wisdom, and empowerment she's cultivated over the last 14 years since her initial diagnosis. 

 For anyone currently experiencing the symptoms of chronic illness or autoimmunity, I think you will find Annah's story relatable and inspiring! But underneath that, Annah shares lessons we can ALL cultivate to heal and thrive in our lives: mindset MATTERS. Perspective MATTERS. Remaining an empowered advocate for our own wellbeing MATTERS. 

Annah also shares the tools and resources that have served her well in her healing journey, including:

Hi Everyone!

I know I say this every time but SERIOUSLY... another AMAZING conversation. I don't say this word often, but Toni was a DELIGHT to chat with! We had so much fun riffing on the chakras and our experiences with them! Please get cozy, grab your favorite tea and chocolate, and join us in journeying through our energy centers! 

We chatted about:

- What a "calling" feels like and how Toni knew from a young age that witnessing and guiding transformation in others was a part of hers!

- What "Chakras" are in SIMPLE and ACCESSIBLE terms, and the main energy of each.

- Practices you can start incorporating right where you are to connect with any one of the chakras. 

- Toni and I's favorite chakra resources

- Toni's amazing story about how chakra work helped her son release speech therapy and THRIVE!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back to the Empowered Practice podcast! In today's episode I have the pleasure of introducing you to Yoga Therapist and Embodied Wellness Practitioner Anna Sophie Conversano! 

In our conversation we discuss how we both arrived at the practice of yoga as a coming home to our bodies and how that practice looks and feels now, on and off the mat! We discuss various forms of how yoga can look in action and the difference between a studio class and a yoga therapy session. Anna also shares some of her favorite resources including meditation apps and podcasts to help you get started on or support your already existing practice <3

I hope you find so much joy in listening, and if you have any questions or would like to hear me address a specific question, please email [email protected] with title "Podcast Question"! I would LOVE to address it and support you in that way <3.

Hi Everyone!

I am SO EXCITED to share today's conversation with you! In this conversation, I sit down with Ayurvedic Health Practitioner and Kundalini Yoga Instructor, Hari Simran Khalsa. Hari Simran was raised by yogi's and grew up with these practices, and you can just FEEL the embodiment of them ooze from her. 

We talk about what Ayurveda is, what a Dosha is, our Prakruti and Vikruti, what an online quiz and may not be able to tell you, and how to start incorporating this Ancient system of Balance and Empowerment into your everyday life (hint: SIMPLIFY!).

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back! 

Today I am bringing in a new addition to the podcast called "thought of the day"- brief episodes that address one topic and offer advice and resources to actively work toward what it is that you want to create/feel.

Today I'm sharing a process I've been using for an "energetic tune-up" lately. It was inspired by a conversation I had with AJ recently about not being in my confidence or personal-power for some time and how I am re-aligning with it in a way that honors my values <3.

Hoping it serves you and if you find it helpful, please leave a comment and let me know!

Sending you so much love,

Jadi

Hello Beautiful Listeners,

Welcome back to our FINAL episode of the "it's ok" series! 

Today I am excitedly introducing you to the beautiful, oozing-with-love, Holistic Nutritionist and Self-Love Coach, Meg Doll! 

I connected with Meg last year and we felt like instant soul-sisters <3. Meg is amazingly sweet, but once you hear her story, you will also FEEL her strength: she shares with us her journey of overcoming three ED's within the span of one decade, how trusting her inner callings has been a big part of her work and life philosophy today! 

We chat about how important it can be to speak up, how sharing your journey authentically is an amazing connector, and bust some long-outdated myths about food re: women- it's ok to eat AS MUCH AS YOU NEED- regardless of how much ANYONE around you is eating! 

I hope you enjoy basking in Meg's love and light in this episode, and if you feel to connect with her further, check out:

Hi everyone!

It's an exciting episode... today we have our very first interviewee on the podcast and she is dropping some beautiful wisdom in a way that keeps it simple and real with a little side of humor! 

Meiyan is a women's wellness coach, an essential oils advocate, a yoga teacher, trained in therapeutic touch, and a trained chef! She is also an incredible lightburst of energy and understands what it is like to walk through the world as an HSP (highly sensitive person). 

Today Meiyan shares about her personal journey of following a path first of all that life conditions us to be and then, as she entered into her 40's how she began to listen to the call of her soul and what life has been like ever since! 

I hope you enjoy this conversation and the resources that Meiyan shares! You can connect with her on:

Hello Beautiful Ones,

Today we're chatting about what an 'intuitive hit/calling' feels like, and what often transpires for us when we begin to listen to them. Another appropriate title for this episode would be "it's ok to not have a rational/logical reason for why you choose to do something". It really is! 

Encompassed within this episode is the idea of all of the labels/identities that we pickup from the start of this life up until this moment- consider all of them! What does it feel like to release one, some, or all of them? Who are you without them and their external influence? 

As always, hoping this conversation serves you in your awareness practice and the unfoldment of Who You Truly Are <3.

Jadi

Hello Beautiful Ones,

In this episode I discuss the idea of being "here" again; whatever that means for you. I share about my own experience with being "here" again with some health challenges and how my perspective on being with them as changed/grown. 

I ask you to consider: if you are "here" again, could it be that there is still something there for you? Something to learn? Something to examine? Something to be aware of? 

Sending so much love your way,

P.S. I would love to hear how you are feeling about this series! Please share your heartfelt comments and rate the podcast on iTunes <3. Thank you!
