MUVE Forward

Have you ever thought about how powerful your mind and your breath can be. When I'm sick I like to visualize healing and good health while also breathing and finding calmness. Relaxing the nervous system is key so your body can use it's energy to fight off any bugs and to function the way it's supposed to. I'm inspired each and every time I pay attention to my body and really listen to what it needs. Often it just wants you to take some time to relax and be calm. I challenge you to practice breathing when you're feeling stressed or coming down with a cold. This episode I talk about how to breath properly in order to elicit the parasympathetic nervous system which is your rest and digest nervous system. Have a listen and you too can start using your breath to heal your body.

Today's episode I'm chatting with my cousin Lindsey Cleland and her journey of infertility, miscarriage, and adoption Through her emotional journey, she learned a lot about herself spiritually. With all of the ups and downs and uncertainties she had to focus on other things in order to get through the tough times. She cleaned up her eating and focused on what she was consumer rather then just how much she was consuming. She learned to see more of the positivity in situations and she was able to find the positive moments quicker even after the hard let downs. She realized that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. She was able to release the guilt she was having for not being able to provide her husband with a child. She says this one’s very important and the earlier you can learn this, the better off you’ll be. She also shares how helping others seems to be a great way to find joy and even meaning out of the challenging circumstances she went through. I understand a lot of woman and men are currently dealing with the struggles of conceiving and I know that each persons journey is very different from the next but please remember that you're not alone in this. There are many people also going through it. As Lindsey very strongly recommends here in the podcast, it’s that you speak about it to someone who’s also been though the journey and who understands a piece of what you're going through. She says it seemed to take the power away from it when she was able to talk about it with others. Eventually Lindsey was able to come to a place of gratitude for her infertility journey and she’s so very happy to share it with all of you today. So please listen and share with anyone you feel this journey could inspire and help. If you're looking for someone to talk to, you can contact Lindsey through her email. [email protected]

26: Listen To Your Intuition & Enjoy The Journey With Candice Kaye by Michelle Wolfe

Have you ever had someone in your life that could use some guidance but they just don't want to listen? I think we've all been there. I often find that when we lead by example, it can often be the best way to teach those around us. Over the years and through my health and wellness journey, I've found some incredible things that have improved my life greatly. I'd love for my family and friends to incorporate many of these habits but it's not for me to decide what they should or shouldn't do with their health. Instead I continue to lead by example in hopes that they will learn a few things from me along the way. This can work in all aspects of life, from education, work ethic, physical activity, and more. Choose to live your best healthy life and in turn you will likely be showing those around you how great it can be. Hopefully that will encourage them to follow along and make a few healthy choices.

This is your life to live and you have the right to design it however you choose. After a tragedy or life struggles, life may seem more challenging then it had previously been but as Nancy McDonald mentioned in a past episode, “Life is for the living, so live it”!

Today’s episode is all about simplifying healthy and taking the stress out of the mix. Natasha Bell and I talk about her journey of health and wellness and incorporating that into her home with her husband and children. She’s also very passionate about connecting woman and she talks about her facebook group and an event she recently hosted called The Female Rising Collective. Natasha also has an online hockey clothing company inspired by the life of being a wife of a professional hockey player and some proceeds go back into the community to help pay for kids that want to play hockey.

This includes your own thoughts. You deserve what you desire!!
