  • EP.57 LOVING OUR BODIES, cultivating good body image, self love and celebrating our bodies exactly as they are
    Well - it just needs to be said. You are beautiful and our bodies do so much good for us. We need to recognize and acknowledge that instead of just berating and saying it's never enough.
    If you are like me, and many women I know, you have struggled at some point in your life with body image and body related self esteem. We are raised in a society especially as woman that we should look a certain way and anything other than that is unexceptable.
    We all have such unique ideals, standards and relationships with our bodies.
    I hope you are coming to LOVE and appreciate the vessel that helps us do most things on this ground we walk on. And learning that perfection in all areas in life but especially our bodies does not exist so start to let it go.
    That our bodies are forever changing as we age and if we've had children. Learning to embrace the imperfections and beauties of our unique and ever evolving vessels instead of punishing it for never living up.
    My wish for you is that you come to know how unique, wonderful and innately beautiful you are.
    Let's drop the shame and step into our greatness.
    Do the things we want to do, exactly as we come right now, in this moment, in this body.
    May you feel healthy and happy and all the rest. And may our daughters not struggle as much as some of us have.
    Oh and may we be walking examples to other women that our curves, soft bits, longer, shorter, uniqueing shaped bits are perfectly imperfect.
    Flaunt it, love it, be grateful for it.
    I love you,
    Shannon

  • EP.56 Give yourself some credit, learning to celebrate ourselves

    Let's stop to give ourselves some credit for showing up, for trying new things, for doing things you said you would do.

    Let's celebrate all that we do. Even if it doesn't feel "enough". This is exactly the point. It is ENOUGH. You are enough. And we go first.

    Shift things, and start to feel good about what you have done. and all that you do. And I bet you'll start to see others start to celebrate you too.

    As always - thank you for listening.

  • EP.55 Small moments add up. Being present and finding gratitude.

    How can we improve the small moments?

    Find presence. Enjoying the small moments. The present moments. Finding gratitude for the things that are already happening instead of always yearning for these big events.

    Can small decisions and moments add up to big things? instead of getting overwhelmed with the big things.

    Are you taking life to seriously sometimes?

    How can you create new small moments? Of things you want more of. In small bite size pieces.

    Want to create more, spend a few minutes everyday creating (painting, writing)

    Want to spend more time with your kids - spend a few minutes everyday - playing a game, chatting, crafting.

    It doesn't always have to be in these big uninterrupted chunks of time. Find the pockets and do something that brings you joy.

  • EP.54 My social media detox, how I dropped instagram and it opened up space for CREATIVITY & HAPPINESS

    Today is a throw back episode. I recorded this 3 or so months after taking a break from Instagram and all social media.

    I was finding it hard to be productive, super distracting and just not feeling great.

    Needless to say I increased my productivity 10 fold. Felt better than ever and even wrote a book.


    Maybe I should take another break soon.

    What would dropping social media allow space for in your life?

  • EP.53 Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Women Earning More Money

    What are your money beliefs?

    Do you hesitate to ask for more?

    To ask for what you want?


    If there is something you want but don't feel you can afford it. Have you actually looked in it? Have you received quotes? So even if it's not in the cards right now, at least you know what you are working towards. AND maybe you can afford it now. Or maybe you can afford having your house cleaned occasionally when you are busy, once a month?


    Have you negotiated your salary?

    Do you talk openly about money?

    What are you feelings on this?

  • EP.52 Protecting your peace, protecting your power, protecting your energy. How to set better boundaries.

    Are you aware of your energy. Of how precious it is? Or how it can get swayed or you get thrown off track by others.

    A quick riff today on some awareness around our energy. How to set better boundaries. Examples of how Elizabeth Gilbert gave a great example when I went to see her live in Vancouver this past April.

  • EP.50 Hell Yes Babes Club - Week #4, Finding the bigger YES, and how to keep going

    We are back with Hell Yes Babes Club week 4 and we hit 50 episodes for the PODCAST!! I'm going to celebrate this milestone.


    Week 4 - for HELL YES BABES CLUB - is all about dreaming big, and then dreaming bigger again. Leaning into the bigger YES.

    We are all made of matter. The same molecules and substance as the people you look up to. If it's possible for them, it's possible for us too.

    And after life happens, things shift and change, can you continue to dream big even if the time line needs to change. Can you continue walking forward, continue dreaming big even if it looks different than you thought.

    At the end of your life you will look back on all that you did and followed through on or accomplished. Not what happened exactly as pictured in the exact timeline set.

    Be flexible. Life happens but get back up and keep walking towards what you desire and know it's possible for you.

  • EP.49 Hell Yes Babes Club - Week #3, Leaning in, finding your edges and keep pushing.

    Hi beauties, Here is week 3. All about leaning into our edges. Moving past our comfort zone. Or where others might be comfortable with us living. Get curious on where you are stopping yourself. NO judgement, but just have a think.


    We work on:

    Reclaim what you want

    Celebrate yourself and what you have already done


    Vow to stay curious instead of shut down, figure out what's stopping you, or tripping you up, and then work on that to keep moving towards your hell yes.

  • EP.48 Hell yes Babes Club - Week #2, Momentum and movement, get things going

    Hi Beauties,

    Welcome to Week 2 of the Hell yes babes club. Learning how to say yes to the life and goals.

    Today's episode is all about movement and momentum. How to release what we no longer need or what's keeping us stuck. And how mini or small actions can lead to big goals and YES's. Rome was not built in a day, and actions compound on each other, the starting is the hardest part.


    Journal prompts:

    Releasing - What do I need to release?

    What's not mine?

    What are the things I no longer want to carry?

    The things that I'm ready to shed?


    A reminder that taking action is the hardest part and once we get the ball rolling it gets to be easy and even fun. The other side of taking the action is fun and play. Potential, creativity.
