Katelyn and Kelly are college friends based in Minneapolis. Together, we dive deep into what it truly means to love yourself, if soulmates are a thing and how to navigate dating during lockdown. 

Melissa Ames is the founder of RUNfully Global, a community & YouTube show that uses movement to guide you to unapologetically unleash your inner power, have breakthrough aha moments, and experience inspiration that leads to discovering your purpose while having fun and connecting with others across the globe.  

Running, dancing, and healthy eating are her medicine. Over the past 6 years, she’s been through some powerful transformations that have skyrocketed her fitness, personal development, and spiritual journey. ​She wants to share everything she learned so you can step into your power, be comfortable as your most authentic self, have amazing adventures, and gain tools to find your way out of a low place into pure joy, love, and purpose.   

Previously she had heart palpitations and didn’t think she could run past 3 miles, so crossing her first half marathon finish line in 2014 was incredibly life changing - both physically and spiritually.  

Since then, she’s documented her mission to run 13 half marathons in one year while singing, dancing, and sharing life lessons and, to prove we can connect beyond borders through fitness, she ran 5k’s across 7 countries while interviewing locals. She’s been through so many ups and downs to know there’s absolutely no low you can sink to that you can't find the strength and the help to overcome. The story is only sad if you stop after the fall because all it takes to experience great joy and find your purpose in the process is to get back up and try one more time. Helping you through the valleys of life, encouraging you to climb the next mountain, and connecting you with ways to give back when you’ve made it to a peak is her life mission. She offers a group transformation course, 1-1 coaching, events, and retreats.

How has living through this COVID-19 pandemic changed you? Listen in as Ella Feinberg shares 5 distinct ways teaching during this time has changed her as an educator. Whether you're a teacher, a student, or neither, I know you'll receive value from hearing Ella's unique perspective. She's a long time friend of mine, and I'm so honored to have her on the podcast! 

Ella Feinberg is a Washingtonian currently living well out of her comfort zone in the Florida panhandle, though the change of pace (and weather!)  is nice. She graduated from Western Washington University in 2018 with a double major in Spanish and Linguistics, and then spent the following school year trading evergreens for olive trees while teaching English in Priego de Córdoba, Spain. Now, she's teaching 8th grade language arts while working toward her master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction. Ella will never say no to a good cup of coffee, and when she's not in the classroom, Ella is typically running, lifting weights, watching The Office, or spending time with her dog, Oscar, and her husband, Trevor.

Money is important, and whether we love it or hate it, we have to live with it or without it our whole lives. 

Through her own story of trial and error, Tricia learned how to manage her money. She was able to pay off $20,000 dollars in credit card debt. Not only that, but she built up her credit and financed a car—a nice car for 0% interest for five years—and responsibly uses credit cards that earned her airline miles so she could travel, and eventually she purchased a home as a single woman. Tricia has since been able to quit her full-time job in banking and create her dream life living abroad while traveling—things she never thought were possible for a small-town girl like herself.

Tricia wants everyone to have a healthy and knowledgeable relationship with money and money management. She's made it her mission to educate the world, so each person can be empowered to master their finances and create the lives of their dreams.

Questions for further reflection:

How much pleasure do you allow yourself to receive?

Finding out at 13 years old I had a 3mm hole in my heart felt like the end of the world. Little did I know, it would actually end up propelling me into my purpose. 

Heart to Heart started out as an idea for a mentorship program, then turned into a radio show, eventually became a Facebook Live series for over a year, and even made a couple of appearances on Instagram. 

However, there came a point when I realized I was playing too small. These Heart to Heart Conversations could not be kept to just my social media followers. This intention of connection, community, and collaboration through conversation needed to be shared with the world! 

I'm so grateful for my friends and family members who helped me get out of my head and into my heart during this process. They were there for me during the ups and downs and held me accountable to launching this thing!!! Heart to Heart Conversations: The Podcast, babyyyyyyy!!!
