  • EP.47 Hell yes babes club - Week #1 , Saying YES To life

    Hi babes, how are you? I thought it would be fun to share a course I did awhile ago as a 5 part podcast series.

    Weclome to the Hell YES Babes Club.

    We dive into deciding what your Hell yes's and Hell No's are, and how we are going to get there. Who we need to become to embody these goals, dreams and hell yes's. How to quiet the mind chatter and listen to what we already know we want, or desire and actually follow it.


    We start out with baby Yes's and then progress on this 5 part series.

    Oh, and did I forgot to mention you pick a theme song?! It's pretty EPIC.


    Come have fun with us. And keep the conversation going over @frommartyrtomagic and let me know what your BIG YES is.

  • EP.46 Life update: How I manifested a new job, what podcasting weekly has taught me and how to continue to get out of our own way

    A bit of a life update for you. I've had a lot going on, some really big changes, and learnings coming up and I thought I would share where I'm at.


    Right now, I'm in the unsexy part of my life. Doing the work. Making lots of small choices and taking small actions that add up over time.

     

    I riff on how I manifested my new job and some of the steps I took to make this happen. This is one of my biggest manifestations to date. And having a job offered to me, and being reached out to / getting the invitation made my little projector heart sign (Human design reference).

    I chat about what has come up for me as I continue to podcast regularly / weekly – and what that has been brought up for me. Learning to use my voice, and where it comes from. The lessons of committing to something even when you want to give up. How to be ok with ok and get over perfection. Spoiler alert, it isn't always easy but I continue to lean in.

     

    Showing up regardless and taking in the lessons along the way.

  • EP.45 Using hypnotherapy to work through triggers, past trauma & the old stories that are holding us back. How our subconscious really holds the key with Katie Potratz

    After having her first child and feeling uninspired from the

    job she had left to go on mat leave, Katie used that time to really deep dive into what
    she wanted for her future. From that she started her blog, life coaching and many more
    trainings including NLP, EFT and of course Hypnotherapy which is what she does
    now.

     

    Helping people transform issues like anxiety, self worth

    & chronic pain using the tools of hypnotherapy can truly be life changing.

     

    How doing her own work and healing has really helped her

    hold space for her clients in a bigger capacity, on show herself the power of this work.

     

    The book that started it all for Katie - The Slight Edge –

    by Jeff Olson

    https://www.amazon.ca/Slight-Edge-Secret-Successful-Life/dp/0967285550/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1IMITQGFI9J67&keywords=the+slight+edge+by+jeff+olson&qid=1685502747&sprefix=the+slight+ed%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-3

     

    Katie breaks down what a hypnotherapy session looks like and how we aren't rewriting memories or thoughts, more feel the feelings, process the emotions and feel a sense of safety afterwards and moving forward. So much of what we do is based on our subconcious thoughts and programming. This can be such a great tool when we get triggered or hit blocks or plateaus in our life and we don't know why.

     

    Katie’s BOOK – comes out this week, June 2nd, The Uncaged Mind.

    Check her out here and link in profile to buy the book when

    it launches this week.

  • EP.44 The Messy midlife of marriage. Part 2 of my relationship story, where we are right now, and where we want to go.
    Well. . .it took a lot longer to get to part 2 of our relationship story. And mostly today is just a share on where we are right now. What it means and looks like to be married in midlife with kids. That the love will wilt if we don't tend to it. That it takes effort on both parts. Not only effort but also a willingness to look at our own shit, triggers and conditioning etc. That we all play a part in it. And of course, to have hard those conversations with some grace and tact.
    A few of my tips of what has been working. And again, I by no means am an expert, just a woman in a marriage sharing my own experience. Life is a wild trip and I just keep unpeeling layers and learning more.
    I would love to know what you think. What your experience is. Do you find this season of life hard? DO you have the whole marriage thing dialed or is there more that you want?
    Part 1 episode LISTEN HERE EP.19 From the brink of divorce and back. Part 1 of my relationship story on how we saved our marriage. And learned to love ourselves again.
    Join the conversation and I would love to know what you think over @frommartyrtomagic.

  • EP.43 Becoming a medium and expanding our light with Danielle Searancke, Squamish Medium

    This is such a great interview with Danielle Searancke also known as @squamishmedium


    Danielle is a spiritual medium and mentor. Founder of the Spirit School online and now physical school opening this June. Check out her page to confirm the grand opening date if you are a Squamish Local. I will be there. I believe it's June 1st. Check out her IG for more info.


    Danielle talks about:

    • My career has been built on saying the quiet part out loud.
      •  The human experience is about remembering and forgetting.
        •  She has such a great way of explaining mediumship and psychic
          • abilities. Teaching these skills and making them very accessible and easy to
          understand and learn. Tuning in psychically is tuning into the energy around
          you, mediumship is tuning into the energy behind you – in the past.
          •  The glory of imperfection.
            •  That learning how to tune into the energy can be taught in a
              • day but the bigger part of mediumship development is personal development.
              •  The creator never puts a vision in your heart you can’t
                • fill.
                •  Your body can’t tell the difference between excitement and
                  • fear. So I get to choose, am I going to lean into this as a fearful feeling or
                  as something new.
                  •  Danielle’s experience with PPMD, and how giving herself rest
                    • is part of her healing and keeping her energy balanced and this condition n
                    check. Becoming aware of our trauma of being busy. Sitting in the stillness.
                    Learning how to rest.
                    • Spirit is my agent, spirt is my algorithm.
                      • WE are always surrounded by the world of spirit. They see us
                        • as light.
                        •  Developing and healing on the go.
                          •  Authenticity is changing the game.

                            • This was such an amazing episode. I would love to hear what you think.

                          • EP.42 Dropping the 6 figure hustle culture and redefining success on our own terms.

                            To be fully honest I have more questions than answers but I'm over being sold this 6 or 7 figure dream. This way of doing business and life that might not even be realistic or sustainable for most of us.

                            I'm sick of promises not delivered. Online gurus selling how to live your best life when this is such an individual experience. A us vs them. An "I know more than you" "I channeled this teaching" or "I know what's best for you" - And this might seem a bit ranty or aggressive but I also think it needs to be spoken about. I don't get into too many specifics but I just think its important that we remember our own power. Just because what someone presents online looks better than your life does not mean it is or that it is what you want. I think there needs to be more openess. More individual choice and option. A feeling into what we want on our own terms. What feels good to us in this stage of life and less, this online coach or guru said this and they look like they have it together so I'm going to follow them.

                            You are so powerful. Nothing also replaces the work we need to do, the self awareness and confidence that comes from within.

                            Stop stepping outside of yourself and check in. What do you already know? What can you stop taking in that is making you feel like you need to hustle and do to be worthy or enjoy your life?

                            I would love to know what you think about this.

                            As always keep the conversation going over on IG @frommartyrtomagic

                          • EP.41 Learning to become a writer and poet, how to write your story with Rebecca Canup

                            So excited to welcome today's guest Rebecca Canup. She is a Canadian writer and poet. A former health care worker who when things shifted in 2020 took a chance on her lifetime dream of writing full time. She has published two books, working on her third. She also is a writing mentor and facilitator encouraging others to write what they know, and leads with bravery and authenticity.

                            Rebecca shares some of her creative process and says to make your mess, your message. That we can write about our trauma but also write about your healing. That's her favourite part.

                            She talks about finding pockets of time as a mother and creative. Not wanting to give up on one for the other. How they can both coexist, althought it might look different and of course, sometimes the laundry must wait.


                            This was a wonderful, refreshing conversation about creativity and writing. And I can't wait to read her 3rd book when it comes out.

                            You can find out more about Rebecca below.

                          • EP.40 Introverts unite, Letting the shy kid in you shine. Embracing who you have always been, Letting go of who you needed to be.

                            This is a personal share today. Feels a bit vulnerable but what the heck. I always learn the most through others shared experiences and stories and so I share mine as well.


                            Growing up as an extremely shy child, I learned to push against my introverted ways and hide that part of me. It felt wrong and not something that would serve me in life. It felt like quiet people were weird and being outgoing and extroverted was the way to a successful life.


                            I am so happy now that there are places like @introverteddear etc that help share the goodness of this quality and that you are not alone.


                            ** I also wanted to preface that there is nothing wrong with having/ being an only children. This was my own personal experience/opinion growing up and I also think things have changed so much since then. It defintely doesn't seem like there is a stigma around it anymore and maybe this was just something I picked up as a child, since I also know friends who loved their expereince growing up as the only one. Funny, how we can all live the same experience and feel so differently about it. **


                            Would love to hear what you think about the episode over @frommartyrtomagic and don't forget to subscribe, rate, review and share the podcast.

                            With much love, thanks for listening,

                          • EP.39 Turning up our Feminine energy in Marriage, Motherhood and Life with Julie Tenner

                            ** Ladies, WOMEN, this is a must listen to episode. There is so much to unpack but here are a few key take aways and points from the episode.

                            I could have also named this episode How to adorn yourself with beauty, have better sex, intimacy, connection with your husband / partner and start the boil of your own kettle.


                            • Embracing the feminine, learning to balance our energies, bring back the polarity and good sex and connection back.
                            • That other options are possible. Other ways to live our lives and not just give up on a good relationship, good marriage, and a great sex life.
                            • Love wants you to be the same and desire requires us to be different.
                            • We can't ignore our relationships and expect them to be exciting and growing. We need to put time and energy into it.
                            • Relearning our feminine energy. Being able to drop our masculine energy when needed. To lean back into the feminine.
                            • Acknowledging our energies are different and that is what we need for a good partnership, connection and sex. We need the polarity.
                            • How to move between energies. Being able to dance between the masculine and feminine energy.
                            • How to make snack breaks to help bring us back into the feminine.
                            • Flowers, listen to a song, food, candles, movement, dressing in something that you feel better in,
                            • Magnetism is just authenticity. Who you are in on the outside is who you are on the outside.
                            • No one ignites your sexual energy for you. What are you doing to ignite that? To get it started. Adornment.
                            • The hardest part is getting to 70 degrees. Learning to surrender.
                            • Learning to parent, mother, feel good, be aware of our time & energy.
