River and Michele are joined by Samantha Fox while Michele is working this week in NYC. They discuss strength.

Tapping into inner strength is about cultivating resilience, self-awareness, and trust in oneself. Here are some key ways to access it:

1. Self-Reflection: Spend time understanding your values, experiences, and personal growth. Journaling or meditation can help clarify your inner voice.

2. Emotional Resilience: Accept challenges as opportunities for growth. Reframe setbacks as lessons rather than failures.

3. Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness and patience you would offer a loved one. Strength doesn’t mean being hard on yourself.

4. Boundaries & Energy Protection: Protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being by setting clear boundaries with people and situations that drain you.

5. Physical & Mental Wellness: Exercise, good nutrition, and rest play a crucial role in mental resilience. A strong body supports a strong mind.

6. Support Systems: Lean on people who uplift and inspire you. Strength isn’t about doing it alone—it’s about knowing when to ask for help.

7. Purpose & Passion: Connect with what drives you. Having a clear “why” can fuel perseverance through tough times.

8. Mindfulness & Presence: Stay present in the moment rather than dwelling on the past or fearing the future. Inner strength comes from grounding yourself in the now.

We hope you enjoy this episode. 

Happy day to all!

River and Michele chat today about life lessons. Michele shares several life lessons that we hope you can utilize in your own world to create a life that feels hopeful, peaceful and deeply fulfilling. 

The desire for a peaceful and fulfilling life is something we all share at our core. Peace gives us the space to breathe, to center ourselves, and to let go of the stress that weighs us down. It’s about finding emotional balance—aligning with what truly matters and living authentically. Fulfillment comes when we’re living with purpose, chasing dreams that light us up, and building connections that nourish our souls. When peace and purpose come together, they create a powerful foundation, one that helps us rise above life’s challenges with strength and grace.

A peaceful life isn’t just about how we feel—it’s about how we show up. It improves our health, strengthens our relationships, and deepens our connection to the world around us. It’s in the small moments of joy, the quiet gratitude, and the ripple effects of love and intention. That’s the magic of a life well-lived.

While pain is uncomfortable, it’s also transformative. It teaches us compassion, deepens our wisdom, and makes us more empathetic toward others. The struggles we face shape our character and prepare us for the next chapter of our lives. Growth through pain isn’t about seeking suffering; it’s about embracing the lessons that come with it. On the other side of pain lies clarity, purpose, and the strength to keep moving forward. That's where the juice is. 

We hope you enjoyed this episode and thank you to everyone who reached out to Michele. This community is one of depth and grace. 

Keep on keeping on!!

River + Michele discuss Tik Tok, Meta and Michele's choice to detox from all Meta apps and social media.

Taking a social media detox can be beneficial for several reasons, especially when it comes to mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Here’s why it might be important:

A detox doesn’t have to mean completely abandoning social media forever; it’s about taking intentional breaks to reset your habits and ensure your online engagement is serving you, not draining you. So, create good habits and check in with yourself from time to time if it is serving you and your highest good. 

Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and caring!!

Hugs!

River + Michele chat about 2025, the collective and what the number 9 signifies within numerology.

It's a new year full of possibilities. As 2025 begins, we can look to the numerology of the year to determine the gist of what we can expect. This year centers around the number nine.

Numerology, like astrology, is a predictive practice with significance for the personal and the collective. People have individual numerological profiles. For example, the digits of a birthday reduce to something called a life path number.

Years have numerology, too. Let's read on for the numerology of 2025 and what it might say about what's to come.

What makes 2025 a nine year, according to numerology? It's simple: The digits add up to nine (2+0+2+5 = 9).

Within numerology, nine is considered a transformative and altruistic number that urges us to give back. Since it is the last single-digit number, it represents growth and evolution, themes associated with the end of a cycle and beginning of a new one.

River has a 6 year rolling out and Michele has an 8 year. You can see what yours is here: Creative Numerology Site

Hugs and high fives!
