It Has to Be Me

Kelly Lubeck, shamanic healing practitioner, shares simple strategies you can use to connect with your body, release stress and trauma, and embrace change to magnify your contribution.

We dive into Kelly’s journey of healing from vicarious trauma while working in Africa and post-war Central America. She recounts her big “It Has To Be Me” moment when her body shut down, and she literally lost her fingerprints!

Through a variety of healing modalities, Kelly learned to listen to her body and embrace self-care not as a luxury, but as an act of service and revolution for positive change. She now helps other women prioritize their self-care in order to pursue and fulfill their purposes. 

Kelly walks us through simple movement, breathing, and sound techniques that can be woven into everyday life to calm and shift your energy. Regulating your nervous system, releasing stress, and holding your experiences in balance are things you get better at the more you practice them.  

Kelly’s call to action: Ignore your body and it will demand you pay attention. Listen to your body and you have a greater capacity to heal and serve.  

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• Self-care is not a luxury, but a form of service and revolution. 
• Befriend your resistance to self-care as a way of embracing change.  
• Your brain doesn’t like change, but your body demands it.  
• Cultivate a practice of listening to your body’s signals for better wellbeing.  
• Movement, breathwork, and singing help you regulate your nervous system.  
• Keep in a place of healing to be ready for whatever comes.  
• When you show up well, you help others to show up well.  
• Let go of what you believe is not safe about your dream and pursue it.

Abigail Wald breaks the “mommy code” and gets raw about the minefield of parenthood. She reveals how getting brutally honest about her struggles as a mother encouraged other women to share their unconventional truths, and how those transparent conversations developed into a global community.

Mother Flipping Awesome helps thousands of women and men get real, hit the “reset” button on their parenting journeys, and navigate the challenges and celebrate the joys of raising kids.

We discuss the necessity of getting out of the parenting vacuum of “having the same experiences alone,” and into a community where you can share all your stories honestly and acknowledge feelings and thoughts you’ve been told are taboo. Abigail insists that giving yourself permission to express your full human experience as a parent enables you to feel the depth of the love you have for your children.

She leads with a central philosophy that parenting isn’t just about raising kids. It’s an invitation to step into your own leadership. Claiming the unique parenting style that aligns with your values and with the needs of your child, she says, is the key to creating a harmonious “mini society” that is your family.

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS:

• A family is a mini society.
• Being a mother is a complex journey with distinct phases.
• Parenthood is an invitation to rise into your own leadership.
• Allow your parenting style to align with your values.
• Understand and respect each child's particular needs.
• Your child is an individual, not an extension of you.
• Find a community that catches and supports your experience.
• Harness your anger as a marker of your values and an instrument for change.

MEET ABIGAIL WALD

While raising her children, Abigail Wald maintained a successful voiceover career, and created the Yes Bar out of her home kitchen. While navigating her son’s medical condition, she joined parenting groups hoping to hear other moms tell it like it is—and instead she got sanitized stories that didn’t match her experience. And it turned out that those stories, telling only one side of parenthood, ignored a lot of people’s experience.

While parenting fills our hearts with more love than we thought possible, and gives our lives purpose and meaning, it also messes with our minds, bodies, sleep, relationships, careers, identities, priorities and even our sanity. So Abigail established the Mother Flipping Awesome community as a space for mothers and fathers to share no-holds-barred accounts of real-life parenting.

The community, with Abigail and her team as coaches, helps parents press “reset” on their parenting lives, cleaning up one sticky, gooey corner at a time.

Are you putting limits on the possibilities for your life? Dave Scatchard, former NHL star and peak-performance coach shares how you can build a champion “I can do anything” mindset, train yourself for greatness, and reach your goals.   

After surviving five concussions  and a near-death experience, Dave retired from ice hockey with chronic headaches, short-term memory loss, and slurred speech that impaired his quality of life.  

Refusing to live a half life, Dave worked with top doctors and healers to regain his physical and spiritual strength and athletic endurance, and complete his first Ironman! He learned to balance the masculine and feminine, the gladiator and the monk, to harness his experiences in his new passion as a mindset and business coach.  

We dive into how Dave embraced trauma to find another gear with his resilience and determination, and how seeing yourself as “always in training” helps you leverage every experience to hone your skills and upgrade your operating system.  

Dave walks us through his nine-step system for getting laser focused about what you want, putting learning into action, and tapping into your full power. His rule: “You only lose when you quit.”   

This episode is a masterclass in unleashing your inner champion and taking action on your “It Has To Be Me” moments.  

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS 

• Work on what you can control to increase your chances for success. 
• Create a really specific goal so you have a laser target to hit. 
• Give yourself permission to raise the frequency of all parts of yourself.  
• Don’t waste your gifts. You get to create and build each day.  
• Schedule and Commit: Put what you learn into practice immediately.  
• To master the skills you need, practice every day and be committed to excellence.  
• Don’t quit: Keep pushing forward and never give up. 
• Use painful experiences to find the next gear in your strength and resilience.  

DAVE SCATCHARD  

In a fourteen-year career as a professional hockey player in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks, NY Islanders, Boston Bruins, Phoenix Coyotes, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues, Dave Scatchard sustained five concussions and traumatic brain injuries. 

With the guidance of top coaches, healers, and energy workers, Dave restored his health, and leveraged his experience as an athlete to become a life and business coach.  

His Peak Performance and All-Star Coaching system helps entrepreneurs and others think bigger to achieve financial success and happiness.  

Dave has recently launched the All-Star Success Codes podcast to inspire people to unleash their inner champions and achieve their goals.  

He, his wife, their three children, dog, cat, and two lizards live in Arizona.

Dr. Lara Zakaria—pharmacist, nutritionist, and functional medicine practitioner—shares some of the advanced lab testing you can use to get higher-level data about your health to prevent and reverse disease.  

After struggling with health issues and working in a pharmacy watching people get sicker and more dependent on medications, Dr. Zakaria became passionate about holistic nutrition as a preventative solution. 

Through the lens of her personal journey with burnout and poor health, she stresses the importance of listening to signs that “things aren’t right” and the huge impact of better food and lifestyle choices.  

With a gift for using hilarious anecdotes to make dry medical issues entertaining, Dr. Zakaria will get you excited about microbiome stool testing and metabolic, lipid, and thyroid panels. You’ll learn how these tests help functional practitioners look at patterns (not just numbers) to detect risks earlier and optimize your health.

• Track patterns, not just numbers, to prevent and reverse disease.

Struggling to find a clear path to where you want to go and what you want to do? Mia Moran, productivity coach, author, and creator of the FLOW planning method, gives us the gold on how to reduce overwhelm to achieve our goals.   

She recounts her "coffee cup moment"—when she faced up to exhaustion and overload and rethought her career and lifestyle. Making changes to turn her health around, she walked away from the successful graphic design firm she’d built and followed her true passion.  

She takes us inside her planning system, and shares tangible tools for how to slow down, be present, and listen to your intuition. Getting clear about what matters to you and making decisions from a place of calm prioritizes where to invest your time. 

We discuss the trade-offs of saying “yes” and “no” and the importance of letting go of what doesn’t serve you. Spending time on self care nurtures relationships and expands your capacity to be productive and give to others.  

In a world of piecemeal strategies, Mia gives you the system to go after your next “It Has To Be Me.” 

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• The priorities start with you.  
• Make a plan but be flexible about how you pursue your goals.  
• Join the FLOW community for support and accountability. 
• Getting what you want is a process of deciding and re-deciding.  
• Use your internal guidance system to make choices from the inside out.  
• Your body gives you signs about your “yes” and your “no”.  
• To learn and grow, celebrate and fold in all of your experiences.  
• Connect with your future self, who is already successful.

Melissa Lanz, award-winning entrepreneur and business coach, takes us inside how she blew up The Fresh 20 meal-planning service, starting with just $2,500 and a kitchen table. 

Ditching the corporate grind to start a business that aligned with her values of connection and community, Melissa achieved financial success and fulfillment. 

To overcome the doubts, fears, and negative input, she says: Block out the noise, listen to your intuition, focus on your goal, and just attack the next three steps. 

Melissa is all about getting scrappy and leveraging your existing resources to bring in the cash flow to fund your next move. Strategic planning, personal audits, and celebrating the everyday tasks build momentum and confidence.

Since that TikTok video about Celtic Sea Salt went viral, it seems everybody is clamoring to get their hands on what salt aficionados have long dubbed “the best salt in the world”. So, I’ve gone to the source — Selina Delangre, CEO of Selina Naturally, home of the Celtic Sea Salt brand, to give us the scoop. 

We get the lowdown on the health benefits of good salts, and Selina debunks the myths about sea salt and Himalayan salt. It’s all about minerals, alkalinity, and source. Building personal relationships with suppliers and visiting each salt harvesting facility annually, Selina aims to meet the insatiable demand for her products while ensuring her company delivers the highest quality.  

Selina shares how her son’s special needs opened her eyes to what was important. By staying true to her mission to help people, and respecting the values of others while letting go of their expectations, she found more personal fulfillment while growing her company to global recognition.  

Let Selina's story motivate you to pursue your “It Has To Be Me” with passion and purpose to make a positive impact in your community.  

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• Celtic Sea Salt and other mineral-rich salts support better health. 
• The Difference between Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Salt.  
• Focus on quality, integrity, and transparency in your products or services. 
• Cultivate a joyful relationship with food — Let go of guilt, shame, and judgment.  
• Hold yourself and others accountable in business and in life.  
• Do a SWOT Analysis: Assess the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. 
• Being mindful of the people that are in your vortex and circle of influence. 
• When looking ahead, celebrate your progress and past successes. 
• Embrace your identity without relying on external validation.  

MEET SELINA DELANGRE 

Selina Delangre, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and philanthropist, is one of the leading authorities on salt. As owner and CEO of Selina Naturally — renowned home of the Celtic Sea Salt brand, Selina has traversed the world sourcing the best sea salts and building strong relationships with global suppliers to deliver the highest quality products. 

Celtic Sea Salt has been at the forefront of the natural products movement for over 45 years. With a “family” of just 75 dedicated employees, the company continues to deliver mineral-rich salts that are prized by health professionals, chefs, and culinary enthusiasts. 

Selina’s book, In Her Element, chronicles her journey from a regular Midwestern girl drinking Coke to CEO of a global wellness company. She covers learning about nutrition and the healing power of salt from her in-laws —the founders of Celtic Sea Salt—and her experience as a mother of three, caring for a son with cerebral palsy.  

Passionate about cultivating relationships and community, Selina enjoys supporting local and global initiatives and organizations that align with her commitment to health and social responsibility.
