Living a Life Well Fed

In this week’s episode, we celebrate National Breastfeeding Week by sharing what inspired me to breastfeeding and how its has gone on to influence so much more than how I chose to feed my children.

Family photographers are so important. They are memory-keepers for your family, they make it possible to look back on beautiful moments in your family’s history, but don’t hire a family photographer before having this conversation first.

”There is an alchemy that happens whenever all of it comes together - when the time that you spent in presence comes together, whenever you see the photographs and you realise you’re doing such a better job than you thought you were...”

We live in a time in which people have thousands of photos on their phones, but very few printed photographs in their homes. While technological advances have provided new ways for photos to be taken and viewed, nothing replaces physical photographs and the sensory experiences they provide.

Furthermore, photographs displayed in the home offer reassurance and instill confidence with messages that say, “You are important”, “You are wanted”, “You are loved”. Listen in to this episode to learn why our particular approach to Photo Sessions helps every member of the family feel accepted, valued, and loved - exactly as they are!

If I asked you what you really wanted out of life, would you be able to tell me?And, if you did know what you want out of life, would you instantly know exactly how to get it?I'm guessing the answer to both of those questions is a simple, if hesitant, "No."

 

How do I know this?Because most people don't actually know what they want - or at least they say they don't. They spend time talking about how much they want things - like their finances, health, and relationships - to be different, but never make meaningful or lasting progress in creating those changes.They set out on a new venture, get excited, and tell everyone they know, only to lose interest, get distracted, or simply go straight back to comfortable, well-worn habits once the excitement and novelty has worn off.Then they tell themselves that that particular goal or dream must not have been for them; otherwise, they would have definitely been able to make (and sustain) the change.Does any of this feel eerily familiar to you?What if I told you that you already have an instant hack for both knowing what you want and knowing the next steps for having it?What if I told you that this built-in guidance system can also easily indicate the best places to direct your energy, can provide insight into the things that are the most important to you, can tell you your next right steps, and even guide you to the type of support required to make these new and lasting changes permanent in your life?You're probably sitting there thinking I must be talking about your gut, your intuition, or a spiritual connection.But the amazing thing is, I'm not!This superior built-in guidance system is none of those things...It's actually your fear. 

 

In this week's 10-minute episode, I talk all about this! Enjoy.

I recently read an article about parenting written by my friend, Gaby Abrams. As an expert specialising in the subconscious mind, it was interesting to read her take on things, but there was one part of the article that really made me stop and think about my own approach to parenting.

Listen in to find out why I think parenting inconsistently has plenty of merits of its own. If you’re an inconsistent parent like me, you just may find yourself feeling better after listening to this episode. And if you consider yourself a very consistent parent, this episode will offer an eye-opening alternative perspective worth hearing.

We’re finally back with Season 2 of the Living a Life Well Fed Podcast.

If you’ve wondered where we’ve been, this episode will get you up to speed. 

In this episode our Director, Ariana Youmans Keenahan, documents a 21 year medical journey in which she talks about period issues, infertility, medical gaslighting, and surgery. 

We encourage all listeners who have experienced infertility or period problems to listen to this episode and share with the people you love.

Welcome to the Bonus Day of the Women Creating Wealth ~ 10K in 10 Days Challenge.

Today is all about bartering.

I honestly hesitated in posting this very last video, but I’m going to follow through because everyone – business owners and those purchasing services from businesses – can benefit from speaking about and questioning the subject of bartering and other commonly accepted practices that affect women’s wealth creation.

Today is about what can happen when you decide to truly show up for your own life.

And this last interview is everything.

Rebeca went from sleeping in her car to now helping entrepreneurs make millions.

Along the way she made the decision to show up for her own life, rather than being a passive participant.

Her story shows that we can all make powerful decisions to drastically change the trajectory of our lives – including our wealth.

Today is all projecting and reflecting. 

I was inspired to create and include this as part of the challenge after the phenomenal interview we shared with Solera on Day 2 of the Challenge.

During the interview Solera talked about seeing yourself as the version of you that you want to be 20 years from now, with all of the things that you desire – the material possessions, the car, the wealth – and ask yourself, “Then what?”

Because the truth of the matter is that there is always something deeper to what we desire – including our desires for material possessions. It’s what we think they will bring us, who we think we will be when we have them, what we think we will experience, and how we think we will be able to impact the world once we have “arrived”…

But if we connect to the deeper layers now, we can begin to have those deeper desires manifest in our now, too.
