MUVE Forward

Today we have a special guest on our quickie episode, kid-preneur and Michelle’s stepdaughter, Sarah, joins us to talk about her sticker company, Kids Change Kids. After a stroke of inspiration during a task at school, Sarah decided she wanted to start a business to help raise money to give back to a very dear-to-her-heart institution, Sick Kids Hospital. Three Christmases ago, Sarah was in the hospital with pneumonia. She completely missed out on spending Christmas at home with her family. With profits that she makes through her sticker company, Sarah hopes to buy teddy bears to children going into surgery so that they can feel comfort when their parents aren’t around. Kids Change Kids has a few sticker series’. They have an affirmation series, a birthday series and much more to come! The affirmation series came out of a bullying experience that Sarah went through at school.On this episode we dive into: How a 9 year old was inspired to start a small business in the sticker industrySarah’s sticker business, Kids Change Kids, and how she wants to give back to her community Managing difficult emotions and feelings by creating a “mind jar”, and art therapy The power of affirmations The Take Home:Kids have the potential to make a huge impact and that is reflected in 9 year old Sarah’s big ideas to create her sticker business, Kids Change Kids. Sarah is building a sticker company so that she can stay focused on donating gifts and teddy bears to children at Sick Kids Hospital who might be going through a difficult time, especially around Christmas. Sarah encourages us to check out her Etsy page, and purchase some stickers for yourself or friends. Each order will come with a hand written note from Sarah and a special star sticker.

On today’s episode, Dana and I answer a listener question!! Q from listener, Tara: What advice can you give about hiring a Mindset Coach? Have you and would you do it again?Hiring a Mindset Coach can be an overwhelming process. There are huge price and experience spectrums. There are many people claiming they are “coaches” on social media. Do they meet credentials to your specific needs? Do they have the life experience that resonates with you? Coaching can be a very valuable step in your growth process. Michelle knows herself enough that she thrives when she engages her community around her. On this episode we dive into: Michelle takes a sigh of relief as she closes the chapter on her downtown Toronto condo and looks forward Hiring a Mindset Coach - the value behind coachingFinding a coach that matches your very specific needs through an interview processDig deep into the values of a coach to make sure their views align with you, even energetically Michelle’s experiences with her own coachesThe Take Home:Our access to materials is endless. But it can be very overwhelming during your growth process. If you feel drawn to hiring a coach, choosing someone who has experience in the field you’re in is very important for validation. Investing in your own evolution in any form is not selfish, it’s empowering!Dana pulls the “community” card, that reminds you not to dim your light or hide who you are.

Michelle is going through a big transition through selling her condo in downtown Toronto. There were barriers making her act slowly on the decision but realized her indecisive mentality was holding her back from taking some amazing steps toward her longer term goals. Regardless of the outcome, once her decision was made, she finalizes the emotions around it and moves forward without regret. Michelle talks about tackling massive life changes - looking back with grace, to move forward with excitement. On this episode we dive into: Moving forward without looking back in regretListening to our intuition while making big decisions, and trusting that a divine force has our backHow to move forward with graceReminiscing on big decisions does not mean regret needs to surfaceFocusing on a simple commitment to yourself that you can implement everyday The take-home: Michelle believes our difficult experiences surface in our lives for a reason. We can feel grief and gratitude simultaneously. Although we are living in a challenging world, especially right now, set up daily reminders and habits for yourself to bring some lightness into your spirit.

On today’s episode, Dana and I answer a listener question!! Q from an “unknown” listener: I’ve been studying self-development for five years now and I meditate daily, yet I often have days where I wake up feeling low. Is it normal?YES! It is completely human to have low days. Even people who make their living motivationally speaking have low days. We have the capacity to choose how to look at situations. When we become aware that we can be aware, there are bigger ebbs and flows to the struggles and joys of our lives. On this episode we dive into: Cabi Fashion, the beautiful, intentional clothing line giving back to communities in needFeeling low as a normal human experience How adult life can have a stressful cumulative impact How issues can continue to resurface in different forms until we learn our lessons from itHow new experiences bring new challengesThe Take Home:When you’re having a low moment, surround yourself with things that lift you up. A good book, friends, music, colours and smells. During a commitment and practice of self development, ask yourself, are you struggling or are you more awake than you were before? If you’re manifesting something you truly want, you have to be ready for it. If you’re not ready to also embrace the challenges that come with growth, as Dana would say, “take it off your vision board.”“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”- Dolly PartonPs.

On today’s episode, I chat with Ryan Nurse, a man whose story will inspire you beyond words. After being attacked at a nightclub, Ryan found himself in a coma. During this time, his Doctors predicted that he would never return to the life he once knew. But his Father assured his Doctors that Ryan would, “show up on his own time” - and to not give up on him - and Ryan did just that. Ryan also shares his story of spending six years travelling the world in the relationship of his dreams following his accident and then going through a breakup that led him to a dark period of depression and alcohol and drug use. Today’s episode goes into the story of how he got through it all, and so much more. On this episode we dive into: Surviving a Traumatic Brain InjuryRyan’s experience of learning how to walk and talk all over againHow his breakup lead to drinking and drug useOvercoming alcohol and drug useWhat his period of depression looked and felt likeHow he overcame depressionUsing gratitude to find joyWhat you can do to move through your own struggle The take-home: After waking up from his coma, Ryan not only had to heal mentally - but he also had to relearn many things that we take for granted every day; walking, talking and even using the bathroom. Following this, he fell in love and traveled the world. Then, after six years, this relationship ended and led him to another dark period in his life - one in which he thought alcohol and drugs were the answer to his healing. He quickly became desperate for happiness.“I was seeking external happiness through drinking or drugs. I thought I would find happiness there, but it isn’t true, it comes from within.”After five months of being immersed in a very dark place, one day, Ryan realized that he had in fact, overcame much worse things in his life before and he made a decision that he could, “overcome this too." And so, he chose joy. He chose to move forward and choose a mindset of positivity and happiness.“You are the hero of your own story and as long as you’re alive, you can make that story into anything you want to.”Ryan is living proof that no matter what may come your way, warriors, you are capable of overcoming it too.

On today’s episode, Dana answers Michelle’s question!!Q from Michelle: What are your favourite self care rituals? And what are you not doing right now that you’d love to start doing?Dana answers Michelle that meditation and hot yoga are her top self care non-negotiable’s. She would absolutely love to start running again and chats about her experiences getting outdoors with her son. Dana also talks highly about grounding. She removes her shoes and stands in the earth, even in the winter. On this episode we dive into: How Michelle’s stepdaughter, Sarah, starts a sticker company, and gives forward in her community Toxic positivity How denying our feelings can lead to harm and misplaced emotionsSelf care, and the unique but amazingly effective techniques we can do everydayHow self care is speaking with intentionSpotlight on Bullying:Michelle talks about how Sarah, her stepdaughter, was being bullied at school. She is open about their approach in parenting through bullying, and how to show compassion and empathy toward others. Witnessing a child who is experiencing bullying can be devastating to our heart strings. Kids are so intuitive, and there are always lessons in compassion and empathy, especially when it comes to realizing the hurt or pain someone else might be feeling. Sarah has made a “feelings” jar that is full of glitter, to represent all of the different emotions one person can feel. And the universe must be listening, because Dana’s tarot card was titled, “All That Glitters.” Michelle asks: how can we learn from our difficult experiences? “The strongest actions for a woman is to love herself, be herself and shine amongst those who never believed she could.”- UnknownPs.

On today’s episode, Dana and I answer a listener question!Q from listener, Lana: How do you deal with family members who are often negative and more often than not, tend to be stuck in a rut. It’s challenging and very tiring. Primarily, make sure that you are taking care of yourself. If you are experiencing joy in your life, you’ll be in a far better position to help those in need. Setting boundaries are important, especially with so much time spent at home. Putting on your favorite music, mantra or podcast in the space that you’re sharing can help turn the mood around.

Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotion to overcome your intelligence.”- Morgan FreemanPs. If you have something you’d like to ask us, send us a message and we’ll add it to our list!!

On today’s episode, I chat with McKenna Reitz. McKenna is a mother, teacher, podcast show host, and author of, “Having a Bad Hair Day". McKenna was diagnosed with alopecia shortly after giving birth to her first child, and she uses her journey through her diagnosis to teach and empower other women. McKenna states that “Alopecia didn’t take my identity away, it gave me my true identity,” and she continues to share her story of empowerment so that you too, can empower yourself no matter what struggle you may face!On this episode we dive into: Getting diagnosed with alopecia.What alopecia is.How McKenna found her true identity through her diagnosis.How ditching her wig empowered her.How she supports other women going through their struggles.How to show up everyday inline with your character.The take-home: McKenna credits her successful journey to her attitude towards problems. She states that “the problem is never the problem, the problem is the attitude towards it”. After being diagnosed with alopecia, McKenna found herself fighting a seemingly never-ending battle. What she eventually came to learn, was that she was not actually fighting her diagnosis, she was fighting herself. When she realized that her continual failed attempts at getting her hair to grow back were only causing her more pain, she finally said, “I’m done”. McKenna realized that her situation was outside of her control but what she learned through this experience was that focusing on her character as a woman and individual, was not. The moment she decided to let go, McKenna noticed that something changed not only with her experience with her diagnosis but in her life. “Alopecia didn’t take my identity away, it gave me my true identity”. She found strength, individuality, and most importantly her true gift, teaching and empowering others. Reitz now sheds light on her experience with her book, “Having a Bad Hair Day,” to help others find their true identity, even without their hair. The problem is never the problem warriors, it’s your attitude towards it. So what are you going to do with the problems you’re currently facing? Now is the time to stand up for yourself, find your true identity, and shift your perception so that you too, can live a life that's true to YOU!Get in touch with with McKenna Retiz: Business Instagram: @mckennareitz—I am now working with one of my favourite brands, Puratae!
