Stephanie Telfer-Lara, MA. is a spiritual psychologist and transformation coach specializing in anxiety and EFT (emotional freedom technique.) Today, Stephanie shares a bit about her journey with anxiety and how tapping has helped her tremendously along the way.

Wondering what the heck tapping is? Brad was too. In short, tapping is an easily accessible tool we can all use to help us manage the times we are feeling out of alignment. Today Michelle and Brad spend some time exploring more about this topic including the science behind why it actually works. Not only is tapping a free tool, but it’s something that can be done literally anywhere and anytime.

We can always use more tools to add to our wellness toolkits, and tapping is definitely one you’re not going to want to leave out!

Things We Discussed In The Episode/Episode Highlights:

• Stephanie’s journey through anxiety, illness, and recovery
• What EFT is, the science behind it, and how it might benefit you
• The five-step process to doing EFT and a practice round walking you through how to perform tapping yourself
• Temporary co-host Brad botches his one shot at the outro, but Michelle insists on continuing to record as Brad tries everything in his power to sabotage it so they can “re-do.” (It’s actually quite hilarious and we think Brad should be a keeper.)

Welcome to 2021!

If you’re finding yourself feeling a bit less than this year with all of the “New Year, New You” talk, an unwillingness to set an arbitrary resolution or finding yourself already struggling to adhere to an unrealistic expectation you set for yourself, this episode is for you.

Today Michelle and Brad are talking all about their thoughts behind why New Year’s resolutions often fail, how we should instead be reframing January and what they really think about America’s favorite January pastime. *Hint* #dated #dumb

If this January you’re looking for advice on how to maximize your days at the gym, cut every bit of decadence from your diet, how to lose X amount of weight in X amount of days...you’re probably in the wrong place. But! If you’re feeling unimpressed with the onslaught of January propaganda heading your way, you’re going to want to hear this conversation.

Michelle and Brad’s take on this topic is refreshing and realistic. By the time you walk away from this episode, you’re going to feel a more purposeful and inspired outlook for the coming year.

Things We Discussed In The Episode/Episode Highlights:

• Michelle introduces her temporary co-host (still Brad) as the New Year’s cherub baby this week and Brad is highly perplexed on who exactly this baby is.
• Brad and Michelle recap their New Year’s Eve and reminisce on favorite memories.
• How we can realistically set ourselves up for success in 2021, and how resolutions might not be the answer.
• The importance of having a growth mindset vs. a “New Year’s resolution” mindset.
• Encouragement for being mindful about what’s good for you and a reminder that what’s good for others isn’t what’s always best for you
