Get A Helmet

On February 19th, we hosted a Fundraiser + Panel Discussion in support of the short film "In This Body" at the Canopy Room in Somerville, MA. I sat down with three magical panelists, Ally Schmaling, Quiana Agbai and Maliyah Tan to discuss the topics of the film - body image and self worth. We kicked things off with a guided meditation and ended the night with raffle prizes, donate by female owned small businesses in the area. It was a SUPER awesome night so I wanted to share some moments from the evening with all of you. Enjoy! xx

This short guided meditation practice can be done anytime, anywhere. What is your biggest dream? What is your soul longing for? This is for those of you out there looking to manifest something specific in your life. Something you may not even think is possible. Well, newsflash, it is! Take these 15 minutes to drop in and journey into your heart. Everything you desire is here for you.

"In This Body" is a short film dedicated to womxn's body image and self worth shot in Boston, MA with an all female cast and crew. WOWZA. Creating this story has been a magical process. We will be premiering the film in Boston, MA on March 7, 2020 in honor of International Women's Day. This episode is a first listen into the audio interviews we conducted for the film with local women from our community. These soundbites wont make it into the film itself but are TOO GOOD not to share with you all. Take a deep breath in. Let it go. And enjoy xx

How can we strike the balance between doing what we love and were put on this Earth to do and financially supporting ourselves? It's a tough one, that's for sure and the idea of "being an entrepreneur" is super glorified these days. On this episode, I get really honest about my career path. From full time jobs to months without income, I share my story and current feelings on how our work defines us.

This short, guided meditation is for breathing a sigh of relief and softening the harsh voices of judgment that go through our heads. This practice is to remind us of our power and connect us to the worthiness of our physical bodies.

Dr. Jess Moy is on the pod today! She is a Mind Body Wellness coach and dear friend. We got real cozy and discussed the mind body connection as a window to our emotional, mental and spiritual health. She is a physical therapist who felt called to listen to her own body and the bodies of her patients on a deeper level. Tune in for our chat all on the power of the mind body connection, emotions manifesting physical, how to manage your energy and so much more!

Dr. Jill Murphy is BACK on the pod and we are SO happy to have her! Our last chat was so juicy that it left us all wanting more. More on the topic of body image, diet culture, understanding why we are so hard on ourselves when it comes to our physical bodies and how to soften the harsh voices that constantly flow through our heads. This conversation will leave you feeling informed and empowered. Enjoy!!

It's Halloween week y'all!! What a perfect time to invite the babes of The Cauldron to grace us with their presence. So technically, we had this conversation in front of a live audience earlier this month (hi to everyone who came out!!) and it was A MAGICAL EVENING. Surrounding by plants and good vibes, we dove into how The Cauldron started, why it started, their gorgeous friendship, moving through issues with body image, self-worth and feminism as a whole. For all of you witches out there - enjoy!!
