On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Health and Wellness coach, Erin Treloar from Raw Beauty. Erin and I dive into the conversation surrounding self-love and ending the battle with food & your body. Erin gets raw and real about her struggle with anxiety, depression, and her own battle with an eating disorder. She discusses how she overcame it and how it has impacted her journey to get to where she is today. Erin decided to start a blog called "Raw Beauty Talks" after realizing the effect of the media on women’s body image. Her blog showcases women in photographs without makeup or photo editing - projecting their real, raw, and authentic self. Raw beauty imagines a world where women are valued for their brains and hearts over their appearance. Raw Beauty is dedicated to helping women live from a place of self-love.On this episode we dive into: Erin’s own personal journey and struggle with her body and her relationship with food. How Erin’s past has got her to where she is now.How to gain self-love and what this really means. The importance of slowing down and taking care of ourselves during these times.The importance of having a clear, healthy mindset. Advice on how to conquer stress, anxiety, and self-love.Getting clear on who you want to become and how you truly want to show up in life.Getting to know yourself: understanding what works for you and what doesn’t.The take-home: So many women are dealing with a mental capacity that is so focused on their body, the number on the scale, and what they're eating or not eating. As a result, they constantly feel out of control when it comes to their relationship with food. Erin created a program called, “The Shift” to help combat this, which dives into eating well to nourish our bodies and our minds.It's important for women to understand that we simply can’t do it all. We constantly try to juggle too much at a time. Instead, we need to do our best to lower our expectations of ourselves because, in reality, we will burn out if we continue on the same path. To see changes in your lifestyle, Erin highly recommends having some sort of support network in your life, practicing self-love daily, and finding out what type of daily routine works for you specifically. If we are constantly comparing ourselves to the filtered photoshopped versions of women that we see in media, we are creating a false perception of reality which is ultimately, unattainable. So take a breath. Slow down and choose to love yourself for who you are. Keep moving one step forward each day in love and gratitude for the woman standing in front of your mirror. We are stronger and wiser when we love ourselves first. Get in touch with Erin:Business Instagram:@rawbeautytalksPersonal Instagram: @erintreloarEmail: [email protected]: www.rawbeauty.co

Today we’re talking all about self-confidence and how either having it (or not) affects every area of your life. In general, I am a happy and confident woman, but there are certain areas of my life where I can see that I don’t have as much confidence - because it shows in my results. It also tends to show up more when I’m not feeling worthy of my desires. Have you ever felt unworthy of your desires? This is a good indicator that you should be doing some work to build your self-confidence in that area of your life. On this episode we dive into:How important it is to fuel your body with good whole nutrients so your mind can thrive.Improving your health and wellness stems from building your self-confidence. Believing you are worthy of everything you desire.When you feel confident, every area of your life will thrive. How to start feeling more worthy. Self-confidence is one of the main factors in helping to propel us forward in life; when we have self-confidence, we feel worthy of achieving what we desire, and thus, we continue to put in the work to get there.** Podcast Time: 8:09 - 10:30 | To listen to The Self-Confidence Formula from Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. **Feel free to listen to this on repeat to help build your faith in yourself and your self-confidence!! I have this on repeat daily. You can also find a PDF copy of this formula here. The take-home: Building self-confidence does take practice. But with it means you are trusting in your own judgment and abilities and that you value yourself regardless of any imperfections. Even if you are a generally confident person, you’d be surprised at where in your life you may be lacking confidence - which ultimately limits your success. So pay attention to your thoughts. Actively work on your self-confidence because it will trickle into every single part of your life wherever it’s lacking. Focusing on your health and improving your self-love and self-confidence is going to be something that's on-going your entire life. You are worthy of all the desires you have in your mind and I am so excited to help inspire you to be able to move forward and strive to achieve everything you desire!

On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely @kristentraverse. Kristen is a Registered Nurse, wife, mama of two boys, podcaster, a private Nursing Consultant, a recovering stroke patient, and so much more! Five years ago, when she was just 31 years old, Kristen suffered a severe stroke which at the time, was misdiagnosed as a migraine. After many tests, she was diagnosed with having severe Broca's Aphasia and Apraxia. Her stroke left her unable to speak or communicate words for two years and she was also incapable of performing familiar movements on command. Her story of how this unfolds and how she got to where she is today is incredible, and I can’t wait for you to listen! Following the stroke, she adjusted her career path to better suit her “new norm,” and decided to pour her love for being an RN into becoming a Private Nursing Consultant. Kristin is now working to change the narrative for stroke patients and those dealing with chronic illness or brain injury.On this episode we dive into: Kristen’s journey on the day she had her stroke, her diagnosis, how she started on her road to recovery, and how she’s doing today living in her new norm. Finding your “why” in a hard situation to use that to propel you forward through tough times. Putting yourself first when your body and mind need you to - as well as asking for and accepting help when you need it.Being more intentional with your words, because you just never know when the last time you will get to speak to someone might be. Letting go of the constant worry and doubt that you’re not good enough.Coming from a place of love instead of fear when you make decisions. Building a legacy instead of a resume.The take-home: Kristen shared her favourite quote, “If you talk, you’re only repeating what you already know, but if you listen, you might learn something new.” From these words, she decided what she wanted her life to look like after her stroke. “You have to decide if you are going to act out of fear or love. I am very intentional with my time and what I want to do to bring more meaning to my life and other’s lives as well. Helping other people is so important to me, and no matter what I do, I know my boys are proud of me - which is ultimately what matters to me the most.” Do the best you can to pour your time into purposeful and meaningful things and into things that you love doing, because life is much too short to be anything but happy.Get in touch with Kristin: Website: https://kristentraverse.comInstagram: @kristentraverseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristen.traversePodcast: My Why RevolutionJoin The Muvement, the wellness program to help you achieve the health goals you desire.

On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tania Tonello. Tania is a high-energy and incredibly passionate Fashion Stylist and Personal Shopper, and she also offers a service to help people feel more confident through a process called closet cleansing. During the pandemic, she has worked diligently to pivot her business to one that can also function online and has found an incredible passion for sharing her story through digital images on social media. Tania is a true light for all those who are waiting for their breakthrough moment to be able to shine their light and step into their true authentic self! On this episode we dive into: What silhouettes compliment your body type for both women and men to help you re-gain your confidence! Busting myths about what types of clothing work on various body types.Tania’s closet cleansing process from A-Z [audits wardrobe, asses every single garment, styling with what you currently have, making suggestions for staple items or items to replace a staple item, etc.]How to take very basic pieces in your wardrobe (right now!) and make the most out of them. Continuing to work on mindset shifts each and every day to break through self- limiting barriers.Felling more comfortable in social settings (through practising things like improv).

I’ve recently been reading the book Limitless by Jim Kwik [linked below] and it’s opened my mind up to start exploring just how incredible the human brain is. One thing Kwik talks about in his book is the importance of finding stillness so that we can allow our brains to heal and shift - which then allows us to step into our highest self. This brought me to a conclusion I had been hesitant to even admit to myself: I haven’t been prioritizing my mind lately. Now, I do know just how important it is to do this obviously, but I am human just like you … and it’s easy to get wrapped up in wanting all of the things to come to fruition as fast as possible … instead of taking the time to slow down. On this episode we dive into: Tuning into moments of stillness and incorporating this into your daily routine.Allowing your brain to have the time to just sit and “chill.”Powerful things you can do for your brain and body to thrive. Tangible things you can implement now to allow your brain to “zone out” and get clear.Being curious about your health and wellness and how this can help you to live a happier and healthier life. The take-home: The human brain is the most developed brain of all other living beings on Earth. We have the ability to change and rewire our brain and the way it thinks and thus, the way it takes action. It’s important we recognize this as early as possible so we don’t miss out on the things we truly want to do in life. Taking the time to find moments of stillness and calm through actions like mediation, gratitude, and journalling can help to shift the course of our path in a more positive direction.

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Ashley Wray, creator of The Mala Collective. They create a variety of different products to support mindfulness and meditation practices. What’s interesting about Ashley’s entrepreneurship journey, was that she really never intended on starting this business - but as life should have it, nine years ago this is where her path took her and she's so grateful that it did! She now can’t imagine her life without this business, and today’s episode takes us through her journey of connecting with herself and a higher power, as well as leaps of faith and surrender through serendipity.On this episode we dive into: Trusting that every moment in your life was meant for you.Becoming more curious so that you don’t miss an opportunity. Leading with trust. Finding balance and keeping a calm mindset to navigate through a stressful journey. Tips to move through your limiting beliefs!The importance of taking the time to honour your soul and take a true break to reset.How to move through mediation with Mala Beads.… and from a business standpoint:Working though the barrier of self-doubt and ‘who am I to start this business?’Sharing more rawness to move through tough times as a business owner. How to become a strong leader. How you can show up authentically for people and support them in your community. Being accountable to each other as a team - because it can be really lonely to be a boss. Getting clear on your mission, vision, and purpose. Getting aligned with your purpose as a business. The take-home: Know that having self-limiting beliefs is totally normal. But also be aware that you have the power to move through them! We are so kind to everyone in our community but we don’t often offer that love to ourselves ... offer yourself as much kindness, compassion, and love as you would for your best friend. Ashley wrapped up with this: “The biggest blocks I’ve had in my business were my own self-doubts and not thinking I was enough. Instead, I would always think, ‘Who am I to be starting this business?’ But when I shifted this thinking and decided I wasn't helping anyone by playing small ... BIG things started to happen - and they can for you too!"Get in touch with Ashley or the Mala CollectiveAshley Wray, Mala CollectiveWebsite: https://www.malacollective.comFree Meditations: https://www.malacollective.com/pages/i-am-enough-meditation-series Learn more about Mala Beads: https://www.malacollective.com/pages/what-are-mala-beads-3 Instagram: @malacollective

Have you ever made plans and then the universe presents you with an obstacle that you just can’t get around to make them happen when they were supposed to? … Me too! Last week, we made plans that were unable to happen due to an unforeseen circumstance. In the moment it was very easy to feel upset and even angry that we could no longer make them happen! However, I quickly remembered that dwelling on a situation that was completely out of my control was not going to get me any further ahead! On today’s episode, I chat all about rolling with the punches and being adaptable so that we can live a truly happy and fulfilling life! After all, if one thing doesn’t work out, it simply means that we were meant to do something better!!On this episode we dive into: Shifting your perspective during change and instead, embracing it.Trusting that everything happens for a reason and you were just meant for something bigger and better in that moment! Trusting in divine goodness and that there is a greater plan. Becoming an adaptable human being so you can live a happier, more fulfilled life.The process of: identifying the problem, naming it, releasing it, and then letting it pass. Acting on your gut instincts!The take-home: No matter what circumstances come your way, trust that the universe has your back. What is happening may not feel good in the moment or be what was planned, but trust that it will work out for the better. Often when we have to make a quick shift in our plans is when the best memories are made! Choosing to adapt and shift with the change rather than getting upset ensures that you spend your (valuable time) enjoying life and being happy, rather than stressing! Challenges arise because they are meant to help us grow. If you are currently struggling with adapting to change, I highly encourage you to roll with the punches!Get in touch with Michelle: Book Recommendation: The Universe Has your Back by Gabrielle BernsteinMUVE FORWARD Wellness Program for Female Hustlers: https://www.muvelife.com/the-muvementMUVE FORWARD Website: https://www.muvelife.comINSTAGRAM: @muvelife EMAIL: [email protected] am now working with one of my favourite brands, Puratae!

On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nour Hachem-Fawaz. Nour is the President and Founder of “Build a Dream,” which is a not-for-profit organization that aims to empower young women to consider a career in male-dominated industries such as skilled trades, science/ technology engineering, and math, emergency response, and entrepreneurship. Nour is also a wife and a mama and has chosen a path that not only fulfills her desires as a mother but as a successful career woman as well. She is on a mission to empower women all around the world to do the same because you don’t have to choose - you can have it all. Nour had this to say, “Once you show a woman her potential, that power can never be undone. Women should be able to reach any level of success they desire, in any industry.” This is a truly inspiring episode!On this episode we dive into: Barriers that stop women from considering male-dominated industries as career options. The power of infinite choice and infinite potential. Recognizing that the labour market is changing and children are not going to take linear pathways anymore. Exposing children to all options instead of just gender-specific options.Empowering parents to help their daughters navigate the various career pathways available to them.Building habits in young women to help serve them better and build their confidence in their future. Helping women learn that it’s okay to talk about money - and that it’s okay to desire an abundance of money and being financially independent.Not having to decide between motherhood and your career - you can have it all (if that’s what you want). Feeling proud of being a successful career woman and mother. Speaking to Mother’s differently so that the mom-guilt isn’t as intensified.Finding what drives you to feel the most alive.Determining your non-negotiables to fill your soul so that you can feel happy and content in your day to day life. The take-home: If you’re ready to take a leap of faith but aren’t sure exactly which pathway is right for you, start by asking yourself these questions: Who’s story inspires you? What resonates with you about their story? What have you always wanted to do but never thought it was possible? If you’re then doubting how to get started on that path, start with tapping into the strengths you know to be true about yourself. Begin reaching out to the people who’s stories you are resonating with and ask them how they got started or what they love about that pathway - people are more often than not more than willing and excited to share about their success and journey with you! Go build your dream!!

Let me ask you a question. When you think about your most desired goal in life, what do you immediately think of next? Do you think of the negatives (all the reasons you shouldn’t do that thing) or the positives such as, “I am so deserving of living my life with my goal achieved! How many of you have ever thought about getting a Health Coach? And yet, when you meet the perfect Coach … you immediately begin to hold yourself back. “It won’t work. It would be too hard to commit. I’ll figure it out on my own eventually.”This is common. And these negative thought patterns keep us playing small. Our minds are set to think the worst and this is a huge reason why so many of us are not achieving our goals. We’re stopped before we even start … but what if this time was different … and you allowed yourself to dive in fully to finally create a lifestyle that works for you. On this episode we dive into: Thinking positive thoughts to manifest success (however we personally define success) in all areas of our life. Shifting thought patterns from worst-case scenario to taking inspired action.Training our minds to go to the positive outcome first. The reality of thinking the worst about every single situation.How fear keeps us playing small and from reaching our goals. Tapping into your big goals and dreams … what is it that you really want in life? The take-home: When you think about the positives, it's easy to see the vision accomplished. Things become so real, so quickly - that they almost seem too easy ... but this is how it should be you guys! This is where you see the difference between those who succeed and those who don’t … when you can actually see yourself accomplishing the desire - when you KNOW that it’s possible … the universe will inevitably be on your side guiding you to your success! But when you focus on the negatives, you automatically put up a wall (and thus, a barrier) for anything positive to come your way! So, what is it that you’re focusing on? Use challenges and change to shift your perspective and up-level. Figure out what’s really important to you, and follow your intuition. If you focus on the good, the positive WILL come in any situation. You can achieve everything you desire. When you believe it’s possible, it feels right and it WORKS! So pay attention to those thoughts and experiment with ONLY positive outcomes. You deserve to live a happy, healthy, joyful life.
