  • EPISODE 61 - Are you trying to fit into the box? Being different, the neurodivergent brain + an alternative perspective to ADHD

    I’ve held back from sharing my experience with neurodivergence, which I’ve had a hunch about for a long time, but today I’m opening up!

    Today, I bring you alternative perspectives to not having a "typical" brain from my own experience, research, human design, and other coaches to empower you, focus on your strengths and create a lifestyle that supports your way of being, instead of shaming it. Because you do have superpowers as a neurodivergent!

    Society uses a lot of shame and labels conditions such as ADHD as “bad” which comes from conformity and society wanting everyone to act the same.

    We fit people into neat little boxes and then categorize them and expect everyone to follow a “specific” norm. And those who operate outside of the box or the norm are labeled as having a disorder.

    In Human design, your unique differences that you are born with are celebrated, not condoned, and then utilized to best support YOU.

    What could it actually mean if you have trouble concentrating or being motivated or you can't sit still or fall asleep at night or you keep changing career paths or you don’t feel like you fit in? 

    This is important feedback!

    And they won't always just be physical factors, like low dopamine or nutrient deficiencies or heavy metals or wonky blood sugar for example, they can be really valuable messengers that are guiding us to our right path and way of operating in the world (which may not be "normal" aka the way society expects you to operate).

    We dont all function the same way, think the same way, or show up the same way, nor should we!

    And when we feel frustrated, apathetic, unmotivated, drained, etc this is often showing us where we are living out of alignment in our lives and not following our energetic blueprint, aka the way we function best.

    Pay attention to what energizes you, what motivates you, what drives you.

    What if YOUR way was correct FOR YOU?

    Are you judging or resisting the way you are?

    Are you letting it limit you?

    How can you use it as your superpower instead?

    Today I help you to think of your brain in a different way if you relate to the neurodivergent type, how you can support yourself for your unique energy and to show up as your best unique self in the world who needs YOUR authenticity.

    .

    P.S. If you feel “stuck” in your life right now like you’re not where you want to be, feel lost on the next steps to take but KNOW you are meant for more, I will be opening up spots soon inside THE INTUITIVE WOMAN, my intimate high level coaching container in JULY 2022!

  • EPISODE 60 - Breaking through self sabotage

    Self sabotage is reallyyy self protection.

    It’s showing you what you are committing to… so what’s the payoff for committing to something that doesn’t serve you? (Because there is always a payoff)

    And what’s the fear around committing to the things that DO serve you?

    Whats your upper limit? How happy are you willing to be?

    Are you subconsciously protecting yourself from what you consciously want?

    When we get real with ourselves, discover our subconscious programming AND regulate our nervous system at the same time so we can feel safe to break these patterns and move into the unknown (where the magic happens)….

    we can dissolve the unconscious patterns and start taking action from a place of conscious awareness and intention that builds our health and our dream life, instead of sabotaging it

    I give you some reflections and journal prompts to help you create wins for yourself, get clear on where you might be blocking yourself and how to break through to a new level.

    P.S. If you feel “stuck” in your life right now like you’re not where you want to be, feel lost on the next steps to take but KNOW you are meant for more, I am currently opening up 2 spots inside THE INTUITIVE WOMAN, my intimate high-level coaching container in JULY 2022!

  • EPISODE 59 - How to get “unstuck”

    PLOT TWIST: Being stuck actually doesn’t exist, it’s a made up construct, a mental state! It’s an illusion.

    Whenever you feel stuck, it’s time to let go. It’s the fear, the mental story in our minds that keep us stuck, not our external circumstances. So what story do you need to let go of?

    The good news?

    You can get unstuck right now by deciding.

    You can make small tiny choices every single day to be “stuck”

    And you can also make small tiny choices in the opposite direction every day to get “unstuck”

    Which one will it be?

    In this episode I help you gain a new perspective on being “stuck” and what daily habits might be keeping you there + habits that can move you forward instead!

    P.S. If you feel “stuck” in your life right now like you’re not where you want to be, feel lost on the next steps to take but KNOW you are meant for more, I will be opening up spots soon inside THE INTUITIVE WOMAN, my intimate high level coaching container in JULY 2022!

    Your invitation to step boldly into your next level self and put your health and happiness first so you can actually feel GOOD in your body, love the body you are in, and thrive as your most authentic self, unapologetically.

My wonderful coaching client, Ashlie, a mom of 2, farm owner, and PCOS fighter is on the podcast to share her real & raw story moving from a place of rock bottom and desperation to transforming the way she feels within her body and finding true happiness from within.

    • Making your health and happiness a priority when you have a family to take care of
    • When others just don’t get what you’re doing or judge the “new you”
    • Growing into the best version of yourself while also accepting yourself NOW
    • Moving from people pleasing to standing up for yourself and your needs
    • How to use your triggers for personal growth instead of being the victim everything outside of you
    • The conventional vs holistic root cause approach with PCOS
    • Why just focusing on the nutrition is not enough on your healing journey

    • The influence that mindset has on your behaviours and results

    • EPISODE 58 - Are you skipping this vital piece to healing?

      When you are constantly pushing, forcing, doing, and achieving, you are in the fight or flight state.

      This doesn’t allow healing and regeneration to occur.

      Nervous system regulation is often the missing piece I see in the coaching space and in women’s health.

      Too often we only focus on DOING more and TRYING harder from a place that is already drained and depleted.

      It’s mighty hard to attract more into your life if you don’t have the space for it.

      The body can’t focus on healing when it’s focused on survival and if it doesn’t feel safe.

      When you skip this step, you may self sabotage, procrastinate or not even take action in the first place.

      It’s time to stop living in survival mode all the time and start THRIVING.

    • EPISODE 57 - The wounded feminine

      Rejecting our feminine is sabotaging our ability to receive in our life AND thrive in our bodies.

      The divine feminine is all about surrender, receiving, nurturing, intuition, feelings, pleasure, healing, sensuality, radiance…

      As women many of us feel like we always need to be in control, we are not open to receiving, and we neglect caring for ourselves.

      And this is not only impacting ourselves mentally and emotionally, but also physically, relating to menstrual issues, PMS, and even fertility.

      Tune in to discover if you may be operating from the wounded feminine and what you can do to start to shift today!

        • Episode 53 - What does trauma have to do with it?

          Think your emotional trauma has nothing to do with your PCOS or your hormone problems??

          Think again.

          This doesn’t have to be MAJOR trauma p.s. trauma is anything that causes us to disconnect from ourselves, our sense of value, and from the present moment (Gabor Maté)

          Trauma is any circumstances or perception that causes you to lose connection with your lovability, your value, and your right place in the world (Karen Curry Parker)

          It’s energy stuck in the body

          Trauma can come from experiences in childhood around rejection, fear, panic, feeling unseen or unheard, etc.

          It can affect our DNA, stress response, hormones, and our nervous and immune systems.

          The science of epigenetics demonstrates that trauma creates biological change, which can last for generations.

          Today on the podcast I’m talking about the missing piece to healing physical symptoms, how trauma affects our lives and our physical health, the blocked energy centers associated with hormonal problems, the importance of regulating the nervous system, how to process emotional trauma using the somatic body and the subconscious, the difference between mindset and body work, and more!
