Have a great week!

Hey there my loves welcome back to another chat here at Interludes of Serenity.

This week I decided to jump in here in and share with you how I have been feeling now that the year has gotten underway and my emotions are all over the place.

If you are like me you may have started the year with tons of plans to shift your health, a new job, more traveling but just like that life is busy and you are losing the momentum. So you begin to feel emotional that your new plans are not working out and that is what led me to this week's episode.

This feeling of uncertainty of what will happen for the year led me to research and of course I did what I do best read and research.. I work in finance my loves in the research department so of course I tackle everything like that... so yea I went digging to discover where this emotional state I'm in is coming from.

Now I initially found the scientific definition of emotions and then I searched for the simplest description and then I wanted to know if emotion is the same as my feelings. How is this related to what the brain/mind does for me.

Tune in and discovered how I found what was triggering my emotions and how I applied it to what I was feeling which then helped me flip the switch on my own thoughts, emotions and feelings in order to discover what I could do to see things in a different perspective, find a new way to tackle the challenges that are not allowing me to do things differently.

I share with you ways of doing a grounding practice that will help you ask yourself why am I experiencing this emotion or feelings. That could be going for a walk and listening to the sounds around you, sitting in silence, working out to focus on the way the body feels, reading a book that feelings nourishing to the soul or simply journalling and being open to ask yourself "why" and let it all flow out your answers will come and the chance to redirect yourself will be there.

Enjoy this episode my friends. Please let me know how it served you. You can connect with me on IG @Interludesofserenity tell me what you thought, how it helped and what you would want me to share with you. Life can feel scary and confusing but you don't have to do it alone!

P.S don't forget to rate this episode or podcast your interest matter to me.

Love you all and see you next week.

Ciao

welcome back my loves to another chat here at interludes of serenity! This week I invite you to join me in being open minded to see yourselves through the experiences of our guest and truly committing to your personal growth no matter which pillar of your life you decide to begin with.

Our guest is a women that truly represents the title of this weeks episode. I met her about 2 years ago now when I decided to become an integrative nutrition health coach. I was just starting my new entrepreneur journey and joined her community when she was a part of the beachbody/bodi company. Her leadership , her passion for health , faith and family was an inspiration to me and all of those she led.

Now, Please know that her journey began like many of us begin. She found herself at a point in her life where she was not pleased with her body , her goals and her everyday to do list. She was dealing with sciatic pains, breakouts , gut health issues and as if that wasn't enough she was basically a single mom raising her 2 babies alone while her husband was away serving our country and she held down an 8-5 corporate job!

I know we can also see ourselves somewhere in her journey right? Our guest today is Ivy Morales!

Today she takes us to the begin when she decides to strive for better health which then led her to become an entrepreneur woman building a more than 6 figure business to now in her mid 40's shifting again!

Listen in as she shares some of the challenges and her mindset shifts as well as her focus on Personal growth and spiritual walk.

I hope you take many nuggets from todays chat apply them and see that as a women there really isn't anything that we cannot accomplish it just takes commitment, self-love and belief that our creator will always provide strength to overcome the obstacles!

Lets make 2024 a year of overflow and peace in all the areas of our life.

You can do this!

Hey there my Loves! Happy New year and welcome back to Interludes of Serenity. https://interludesofserenity.ck.page/cddefabc37

I hope you have allowed yourself some grace this past week and have allowed yourself to forgive for anything that was challenging in 2023 and have left it in 2023. Be ok with the experiences had and learned and get ready to Pivot.

Last year I began the year on a high just screaming to the work that it was the year I would set the world on fire on all m y dreams would come true. Well that was not necessarily the case. By the time February came around I like many of you began to get back into old routines and life got BUSY!!

Seriously, I was back juggling my corp Job, home, Family and entrepenurialship and before I knew it I was so busy juggling everything around my work hours that I left my dreams and desires out of the mix and slowly but surely I had left my fitness pillar out of the mix as well.

At the same time my family was dealing with alot of health concerns with our elderly and that required me to be present for them and assist more, others in the family facing mental health struggles and the pain that onset caused everyone was also inflicting how i showed up for myself.

So My loves as you come in to your new year, have grace and love for yourself. Ease in to the new year as you set up your planners, choose your journals, or Perhaps you are getting ready to tackle your fitness pillar this year. Go Easy and have peace over the changes you will make. 2024 is a year of overflow where you will get all you want.

This year I will be opening the doors to a community built focused on wellness overflow to restore our mind, emotions, soul and health whilst remaining centered and focused on our spiritual health. If this sounds like a journey you are willing to explore, hit the link herehttps://interludesofserenity.ck.page/cddefabc37⁠ and join the wait list. Once you join I will send you notifications of when we will begin opening the doors for you to become a founding member.

I cant wait to meet you all and tackle 2024 together!

One love

Maddie

Merry Christmas and Happy New year my friends!

Before we close out this year I wanted to make sure you ended the year with a grateful heart! Practicing positive thinking is hard, being focused on being grateful for every experience is hard. I know!!

So this week I wanted to remind you that the experiences lived this year were just experiences and that within each one there is a lesson to be learned.

Take time to take in what can continue to serve you and let go of what didn't with gratefulness to living and getting through.

Gratitude is a practice that must be taken daily in order to become a habit and a positive prospective overall things.

So As we close out my loves cultivate a sense of gratitude by focusing on positive aspects of your life. Take time each day to express gratitude for the things you have, the experiences you've had and the people in your life.

This practice will definitely shift your focus towards claiming positive vibes in your life and you will carry it and claim it in 2024!

Have an Amazing Holiday, Enjoy all your loved ones be safe and see next year!

PS you don't want to miss all the great things happening here at Interludes of serenity and the supportive community that is being created for like minded woman woman who are on the journey to self discovery and healthy living. Cant wait to share with you all!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New year

Ciao

In 2015 I had nooo idea that one DR visit would reveal so many issues slowly creeping in.

36 waist she said, 170 lbs the scale reveled and when the labs returned, BMI, Cholesterol and all my levels in RED.

Was that enough to shift me into taking control of my Fitness pillar my overall health NOPE! Was shopping for a wedding and not finding what felt right enough nope. It was my insecurities of loosing my marriage that woke me up!!

Stories that I was making up because I was insecure about how I felt and looked. So I went for it 1 change each day!

So today While we are in the holiday season I wanted to motivate you not to wait on 2024 to begin discovering what you want your health to be like. Not to wait and starting! Change one little thing, just one and do it each day. no need to go from 0-100 but very necessary to begin with small implementable steps.

Have a listen and see how this health coach started and how I changed one thing and encourage you to just begin now.

Have a great week !

Ciao

Listen In my loves and I hope this helps you find your way off the monotony cycle we place ourselves in and get off the hamster wheel.
