The brilliant and lovely Anne Ondrey sat with me for a chat about Anxiety. 

(Yeah, I capitalized that. It's become that big of a deal, that proper of a noun.)

Listen in as Anne + I discuss our experiences + thoughts on this 'water' in which we are all swimming. And take note of how Anne brings the conversation back to the somatic embodiment and practice of self-awareness. 

You will also enjoy Anne's offering: a lovely meditation for tuning into oneself and lovingly shifting the inner energy for calm and ease. (27:00)

It really landed for me. I've appreciated having that tool in my pocket the past few days and I think you will too!

And for those interested, Anne's credentials: MSW, E-RYT, YACEP, C-IAYT, FST Level 3, NKT Level 1, Usui and Karuna Reiki Master, Yoga TuneUp® Certified Instructor.

There's nothing more fascinating + fun to me than my aura!

So I was giddy excited to sit with Jeanette Troiano of Auracle. 

Jeanette has done a deep dive into aura technology + psychology. She has a state-of-the-art aura camera system that allows her to produce photographs of your aura. 

And, she is educated and insightful in offering interpretation of the colors, shapes and forms captured in the picture. 

Take a listen as we unpack the details. 

And then consider joining us for a little yoga BEFORE + AFTER aura experiment at Studio 108 on August 24th. 

(Yup! You'll get two aura photos, a practice and a personal interpretation of your aura.)

But whether you can attend or not, this conversation is a worthwhile listen. 

There's something pretty cool about this aura-thing!

You'll find Jeanette on IG at @the_auracle_oh

Leah knows what it feels like to be burned out + tired - and so tired of being tired. 

And although she works intentionally with personal lifestyle solutions, she is most inspired by the range of simple herbal solutions that are readily available + quite effective at supporting the body in becoming more resilient. 

Turns out, Mother Nature offers a medicine cabinet of options that support the whole body with an intuitive wisdom that we are only beginning to appreciate. 

Take a listen. See what you think. 

Look into Leah's workshops at Oxbow Orchard. www.oxboworchard.com

Leah's tinctures are available at Studio 108 in Independence + The Light Wisdom and Wellness in Brecksville. 

And reach out to Leah at [email protected] if you'd like a conversation or consultation. 

For many kids, summer time means hopping on their bike and heading out into the neighborhood. If they are lucky, it's a family activity along the towpath or through the parks. 

But for kids with disabilities, riding a bike is a difficult and can create a barrier to connections with both family and peers. 

Rob Fellinger has a soft spot for kids and for bikes and for families. So it's no surprise that he starts his summer by offering a program to teach kids with differences how to ride a bike - and access their local trails - with their friends and family. 

Rob and his coordinating partner Deena Barrett have run the Cleveland iCAN BIKE program since 2012. Together they contract with the parent program iCAN SHINE to bring adaptive bikes and skilled mechanics to Cleveland. They organize community resources and raise funds to provide some 40 kids with an opportunity to learn to ride a bike. 

You'll be inspired by my conversation with Rob. And I hope motivated to offer a little support to this worthwhile program. 

The short list: awareness and volunteer energy and cash donations.

I'm thrilled to introduce you to my business partner + friend, Dolores Alquist. 

Dolores + I share a sincere + heartfelt desire to help the people of the world heal. 

And when two people share a such a powerful vision, it's natural + quite easy to create something wonderful together. 

Today, Dolores and I are chatting about our 'something wonderful'. 

We want to tell you about our wellness center, The Light: Wisdom and Wellness,  located in Brecksville - right down the street from Studio 108.  AND we want to tell you all about the 24 unit Energy Enhancement System that we are operating. 

The EESystem is technology that creates a scalar wave + bio photon toroidal field for charging cells so that your body can initiate + operate its organic healing functions. 

Resting in an EESystem session is a fascinating experience with potentially incredible results.  It's difficult to predict as each person will have their own unique experience. But the testimonials have been overwhelmingly positive and we are here to help you along your way. 

Don't hesitate to reach out with your questions or to get a personal tour of the center. 

But first, take a listen!

It's both education + inspirational to chat with Leah Cordy. Always. 

Maybe you recall our last conversation about her non-profit candle company Hope's Landing which employs and supports women as they heal from experiences of sex trafficking and other abuse.  Super inspiring - and I learned a lot. 

Today we sat to discuss Leah's day job. She is a community relations representative for a utility scale solar company. 

Huh?!
Yeah. I know. 
I knew nothing about this when this conversation started. But wow, was it educational. 

Leah talks about exactly what is going on in the solar energy community. She debunks myths and offers personal actions steps. 

Actually, I found it very inspiring. 

And don't we need a little inspiration when it comes to energy solutions?

I hope you listen. And thanks for Following.

I love chatting with inspired + excited people.  Their optimism + joy are contagious. 

And I am always in for a little dose of that. So when I had to opportunity to sit with Leah Rachelle + Hannay Pugely of Herbs of the Valley, I buckled up for a joyful ride! 

Leah + Hannah are very inspired + excited about their work together.  
And for good reason: Their apothecary, Herbs of the Valley, is the perfect expression of their interests: gardening, herbs, wellness solutions and sustainability. 

PLUS Herbs of the Valley is the very first and the one + only local apothecary right here in Cleveland OH. 

Leah + Hannah have partnered with Oxbow Orchard Farms to grow herbs right here in the Cuyahoga Valley. They are making teas + tinctures with these locally grown herbs. And they are offering support to their customers who would like to use plant medicines to treat common physical + emotional imbalances. 

Their story, their plans, their knowledge and their passion are right here for you to hear. 

I think you'll be inspired + excited too!
So please connect with them:

Do you know Margo? 
Maybe you've taken a yoga class with her?

Well, Margo Pivonka is the hard work behind Studio 108's marketing content + more. She and I have spent many hours together. Many hours. 

You'd think I would know a little bit about what she's got going on....But she surprised me on this one and I'm THRILLED for her!

Take a listen as Margo shares her story. She is the creator of an innovative and helpful new product designed to support you in  your yoga practice. Called Yoga Glu, this product prevents slipping of the hands + feet from your very first down dog! 

I'm inspired by Margo's ingenuity and fortitude in bringing this idea to market. It took perseverance and commitment. She had a vision. She held her mark.  And it paid off. Yoga Glu was born.

And we are so proud of Margo.

I hope you'll listen + I hope you'll try it!
Yoga Glu is available at Studio 108 for sample + for purchase.
