Lead Today

In This Episode: 

Happy Valentine's Day. Whether you like this day or not, it's a great reminder to remember all the love in our lives. 

According to the Greeks, there are 8 types of love: 

Eros: Romantic or Sexual, the one many are focused on having today

Agape: Love of Humanity

Philia: Feeling Part of a Team/Group

Philautia: Self Love, Being Kind to the Self (Hint: We need more of this kindness toward ourselves)

Pragma: Enduring love. Think of Grandparents married for 60 years. Can be enduring love of a nation, person, place, thing

Mania: Obsessive love. Consider the different areas of your life you may be obsessing over or harping on (sometimes in a good way?)

Ludus: Play. Fun. Exciting Love. Ex. My Dog Max, Children's love 

Storge: Family Love. Relatives or very close friends. 

We hope you can cultivate some of these types of love for yourself today and always.

We discuss some of the basic and most common food additives and preservatives that hinder our ability to digest our food and in some cases even exacerbate autoimmune conditions and allergies. 

Apply to Join Woman's Wisdom™ to be in community with women who are also working toward living in flow. 

Kalyna discusses easy dietary changes, lifestyle tips and some products that when removed from our lives can work wonders.

- Carrageenan and other top additives and their effects

- The importance of clean ingredients in our food, skincare products and cleaning products

- Scented candles and air fresheners and the havoc they wreak on our endocrine system

- Additives can hide in supplements (especially Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Maltodextrin and Dextrose)

- These harmful and disruptive ingredients can be in anything from lotion and sunscreen to cleaning products and laundry detergent. 

Most levels in something like a supplement are low, but the cumulative effect over time is what we need to watch out for. Eating something processed once might not be an issue, but eating processed items, using irritating skin products and detergents and then scented candles and supplements and we give our body too much to handle and detoxify. Hence why the liver and kidneys are often talked about these days as well as a heavy focus on the gut brain connection and how foods can lead to leaky gut. 

Anything we put on, around or in our bodies is fair game to consider in this episode. 

Simple switches can make all the difference.

We're joined by Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik, founders of the Almost 30 podcast. We discuss Lindsey's new engagement and what she's learned. Krista's healing and learning journey with birth control pills and IUD's. We touch upon how we take apart our bodies and don't realize all of the implications of the decisions we make like dieting, exercise and birth control.   

A big realization in this episode is that we are nature and the best medicine is reminding ourselves of that fact as we work, play, grow and rest.

We need unity now. 

We need willingness to understand all points of view. 

Have you found yourself succumbing to the outrage culture pervasive in the divisive rhetoric we've been hearing on all sides? 

Let us unify as families, neighbours, countries and the global community to bring understanding to all views. 

Let's bring respect and tolerance to all involved. 

Let's bring curiosity and a willingness to explore why people are thinking and behaving the way they are. 

We all have different lived experiences and need to allow each other the space and grace to learn and grow alongside an ever-changing global situation.

In This Episode: 

We've all been there: feeling alone and out of touch with something larger than ourselves. 

What can we do?

Who says rituals and ceremonies need to be reserved for weddings and funerals? 

I propose we bring these moments of reverence into our day to day in order to feel more unified, fulfilled and loved. 

We can do this via established ceremonies, small moments of gratitude before a meal or even working out together in the park.

We all complain. About our parents, siblings, job, money, partners and bodies. We feel we don't have enough. We want more. 

Let's talk about how we can use complaining as the ultimate superpower to get what we want out of life. 

If you've ever felt stuck, down in the dumps, complaining about the state of your life, it's the perfect opportunity to clarify and get what you want instead. 

Ask Yourself: 

1. What are my key complaints? Write/Say/Draw them somewhere. 

2. What do I want instead? Flip the complaint on its head. 

3. What is one thing I can do? Get momentum and press SEND on one small action toward your goal.

In This Episode:

We examine the ways willingness can come in and change our lives for the better. 

The idea that we must be confident or build confidence when we start something new, or continue in a chosen arena is misleading. There is more to moving forward than confidence. What helps most is often being open to and willing to take the next step that presents itself to us. This can mean saying no to an opportunity that isn't aligned with our vision, or saying yes to what we are open to. Venturing down new ways of thinking and doing can seem daunting. If we open ourselves up and become willing to take one step, we begin on a path however narrow the opening might be. It all takes just one step at a time.

We discuss how to approach your family during the holidays and beyond. We examine the triggers, and some strategies to approach scenarios with strength and a sense of satisfaction with how you choose to engage with family time. 

Kalyna discusses how Dr. Richard Schwarz's work with Internal Family Systems has aided in the recognition of the different parts of ourselves and how that can support our inner resiliency in challenging situations. 

We look at how IFS works (broadly) and consider its' applications when dealing with fear, feelings of judgment and triggering situations with family. 

The intention of the episode is to support you with showing up to family at any time of year with the support to feel like you can be in the situation and empowered rather than falling into typical family patterns. 

Enjoy!

In This Episode:

The fourth episode of our mini-series on healing modalities and medicines. This week we talk about German New Medicine and do a run through of the 5 Biological Laws Dr. Hamer created to describe his findings. 

We discuss different parts of the brain, two parts of the healing cycle of diseases and how trauma ignites disease in the body.

Kalyna discusses how Dr. Hamer's work has aided in the recognition of the mind-body connection and his interesting take on microbes like viruses, bacteria and fungi as a part of the healing phase of the body. German New Medicine recognizes the cosmos as having wisdom beyond our understanding and states that every disease has a purpose and meaning. 

We look at how GNM works, some basic facts about each law and also consider the backstory of Dr. Hamer himself. I do add a disclaimer that Dr. Hamer's work is not without controversy and if you want to know more about him as an individual you can certainly get further into his past and reasons for his controversial place in the world of medicine. 

*This is not medical advice*
