Have you ever felt like you were glowing after receiving a compliment from someone? Does doing an act of kindness make you feel radiant? Tune into Episode 33, which is all about paying it forward and the ripple effect. 

Devon kicks us off by reflecting on an experience that she had while sitting by a pond, watching leaves falling and creating a cool ripple effect in the water which inspired the idea for this episode, which ironically happened to be recorded on World Kindness Day. 

November, for many, is the start of the giving season, and together in this episode Heather and Devon will share why it’s important to give and receive kindness. Devon explains how on an energetic level, if one small light leaf can create that much of a ripple effect in the water, imagine what a compliment, or an insult, impacts those around us. Both Heather and Devon again turn to nature as a way of learning and reflecting before ending the episode with tools for how to practice creating more intention behind our actions, including kindness and gratitude.

Do you ever find yourself avoiding change? Do you struggle with adjusting to new and unfamiliar situations? Are you searching for tools for how to navigate your ever-changing world? 

You’re in the right place, Welcome to episode 32! Join us this week as Devon kicks us off with a very relevant theme for this autumn season: change.

Devon shares a powerful quote from poet, Yung Pueblo, which reads, 

“unpopular truth:

what’s meant for you will sometimes 

feel scary, risky, and new

ease and calm don’t always 

mean you’re moving in the right direction

the biggest rewards usually come

from having the guts and perseverance 

to create your own path”

Heather and Devon discuss how change is truly the only consistent and predictable thing in our lives, and together they explain change from the psychological, physiological, energetic, and spiritual world. They provide tools for calming the nervous system and practicing emotional regulation, while also providing ways to reframe our mindset surrounding change so that we can learn to move away from avoiding it and lean more into embracing change.

Welcome to Episode 31! Join Heather and Devon this week while they discuss various attachment styles and the impact that they have on us and our relationships. Devon shares openly about her anxious-attachment style, discussing how even with 2 years of really deep healing and everyday mindfulness, re-entering the dating world has caused her anxious attachment style tendencies to bubble back up to the surface.

Heather brings in research from the clinical psychology world, explaining that attachment styles are often developed by age 2, and while they do stick with us, we can learn to reroute our automatic, protective response into a more positive and peaceful one, so that we aren’t reacting from a place of hurt or anger.

Tune in while both Heather and Devon explore how these attachment styles show up throughout life, especially in adult relationships. As they love to do, they’ll end with lessons, tips, and tools for learning about your own attachment style, and navigating the challenges that may arise.

Thanks for joining us in this space, we’ll see you again next Tuesday.

Welcome to Episode 29! This week we bring you a Spooky Season themed Q&A where we’ll be answering listener submitted questions, and debunking wellness myths. 

Devon kicks us off by demystifying Friday the 13th, discussing the history of this day. She explains how Friday the 13th was considered the Day of the Goddess, a day to worship the Divine Feminine within all of us. The number 13 is meaningful because there are 13 moon cycles in a year, and women experience an average of 13 menstrual cycles annually. She further explains how Feminine energy represents beauty, recognizing and appreciating the beauty in all things, it’s also honoring the cycles, phases of our lives, out emotions, the transformation that happens when we allow it to. Honoring the Divine Feminine within each one of us. *EDIT* When discussing Friday the 13th, Heather misspoke stating that Jesus had 13 disciples, when he actually had 12. What she meant by this was referencing the Christian roots that hold the number 13 is unlucky. ⁠Some believe⁠ that the number 13 is unlucky because Judas, a person said to have betrayed Jesus, was the 13th guest at the Last Supper. ⁠Others believe⁠ that there were in fact 13 Disciples, this number including Mary Magdalene, which ties in the Feminine aspect of Friday the 13th.

Heather and Devon use research cited below to answer all of your wellness questions. Tune in while they talk about all things mind, body, and soul wellness while referencing Dr. Joe DiSpenza, the light and dark sides of spirituality, epigenetics, sobriety, and of course mindfulness.

Welcome to Episode 27. Join us this week while Devon shares updates about her time in Boulder, CO. She acknowledges how this trip has ended much differently than she had expected and hoped for, and spends time unpacking a topic that she has been experiencing: rejection. Together Heather and Devon explore how rejection is never fun, but is ultimately the Universe’s way of redirecting us. They also reflect on the Burnt Toast Theory, noting how rejection can also be a form of protection too. 

While of course we encourage giving ourselves the time and space to feel the disappointment, anger, sadness that comes with rejection, we can also still hold onto the knowing (if possible) that it will all work out whether we realize it or not.

Heather kicks us off by sharing her recent experience of comparing herself to others and then expands by explaining the function of comparison from an evolutionary perspective.

Both Heather and Devon share tools for how to sit with our inner child, regulate our nervous system, and navigate social comparison.

Welcome to Episode 24! Heather shares her observations leading up to her sister’s wedding, reflecting on her own wedding planning process and noting themes of unintended toxic positivity. We sometimes have a tendency of asking questions or making assumptions in a way where we receive the answer that we want to hear. While this tendency has become a societal norm, and more often than not is well-intended, it can still fall into the category of Toxic Positivity. Together, Heather and Devon define what Toxic Positivity is, and work to reframe and rename it. Devon introduces a similar term called Spiritual Bypassing, and together both Heather and Devon provide tools for how to navigate conversations with more mindfulness.
