It's Common

When it comes to breathing I've had my issues but, never did I think that breath work could help with anxiety, sleep, and overall health. Throughout the last year or so with the pandemic placing obstacles around our breath, I recorded this episode in hopes 2021 can be the year we really conquer, focus and improve on our breathing. This app called "BreathWrk" has been my absolute savior in finding exercises that could really target certain areas of my life. This app is FREE and includes so many options and exercises to help you gain the knowledge and practices that go hand in hand with breath work. I always speak from my own experiences and this is a big one to me. I hope as you listen today we can all find the importance in taking care of ourselves and in more ways then one.   

Hello everyone, so excited to share the episode with you. I recently had a weekend in Nashville, Tn that was pretty life changing. Now I know that sounds a bit dramatic but in the end it really did have such an effect on both, Alan and I. We had planned on celebrating Chriss's birthday which we definitely did!! We just had no idea we would find life long friends / family in the end. This episode just touches on an amazing experience that I would 10/10 recommend. All because of a card game Alan and I left feeling more open, more communicative, and full of gratitude. 

Hello my people, hope you have all been well!! Today we touch on something I know I have suffered with all of my 23 long years on this Earth, and I have a feeling so have you. This is "Fear of Success", the fear of all fears. The things that so easily keep us from accomplishing our dreams and chasing our passions. Listen in if you would like to know some of my tips and tricks on how to over come the fear of all fears. With small everyday practices it can be less daunting to make that next step. Please, if you have any experience in over coming this mountain we've created out of molehills, SPEAK OUT. Let us in on your secrets and help us grow. Thank you all so much for your support, I couldn't do it without you.

I touched base on my first episode of some mental illnesses I've experienced in my life. If someone had taught mental education to me with the same importance as physical education, those illnesses may not have taken such a toll. I believe strongly that mental education should share just as much importance as physical, nutritional, or financial. This podcast is a CALL TO ACTION!!! people. The first step is, to speak out and share your truth. It can be difficult dealing with these illness alone and without proper information. The more we speak and the more we share the easier these day to day stresses and traumatic events will be resolved. Not only will we know how to take care for ourselves physically but, mentally as well. Thank you all for the constant support!! You are real ones and I don't know if I could do this without you. If you have any additional information you would like to share with the community and me. I strongly suggest leaving a comment on facebook or instagram.

Hello everyone!!! So nice to have you here. This weeks FIRST EVER podcast episode has finally arrived. This will just be a little introduction and sharing some detail on my Why?, as well as learning where the podcast idea originated from. I am still learning the ins and outs on editing with Anchor but I'm shooting to have an intro recorded by next episode. I am also aware there are some weird spaces in between some parts, so sorry but like I say in the podcast, "You can't wait for perfection". It will be corrected by next episode don't you worry!
