  • E90: Soul Connections with Sharon Roemmel

    One of my 2023 goals was to reach my 100th episode of the Opportunity Knocks Podcast 🎙. As I share this 90th episode with you, I'm filled with gratitude for the incredible people I've had the privilege to interview.🙏 This week, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Sharon Roemmel, Founder of Practically Enlightened You, Yogini,🧘‍♀️ Coach, Intuitive and spiritual teacher. This recording is from some time ago, as I was introduced to Sharon by my Akashic Records teacher Laura Coe. Her recommendations always come at a very high value and with great learning. At this point, I was deeply studying not only the Akashic Records but also Yin vs Yang ☯️ energies, and how they related to my own behavior patterns. Sound interesting?!? It is...and your awareness is key.🙌

    Part of our conversation revolved around the significance of introspection and staying aligned with our soul's purpose. Sometimes, it's in those quiet moments of reflection 🧘‍♀️ and listening that we are truly able to discern our proper path.

    In this episode, we dove further into some of my favorite topics:

    🙏 Spirituality
    ✨ Akashic Records
    ☯️ Balancing Yin and Yang energies
    🔎 The quest for clarity
    👂 The art of listening
    I always ask my guests about their core values, and Sharon's include connection, wellness, creativity, playfulness, and fun. It's no wonder that I attract guests who share similar core values with me. 💕✨

  • E89: The 4 C's That Guide Me - Josh Borris Interviews Michelle Valenzuela Wolf

    Who’s ready for a deep dive into the power of communication? 

    This 89th episode of the Opportunity Knocks Podcast 🎙 holds a special place in my heart. One thing that I have learned is that my podcast audience loves to learn more about me and how I make choices in my own life. This year I had the privilege and honor of being interviewed by a former client and now cherished friend Josh Borris.  They say your vibe attracts your tribe and I couldn’t agree more. Our connection began way back during the preschool drop-offs with our then-young kids when our vibes just clicked! Josh is the Founder of Core Development Group. He is an architect, designer, builder and real estate broker, acquisition and sales in commercial and residential projects. His work isn't just about constructing physical spaces; it's about creating environments that resonate with purpose and harmony.

    As a coach, connecting with people and fostering meaningful relationships is at the core of what I do. That’s why encouraging good communication and having sometimes hard conversations lead to deeper partnerships just like in my case with Josh. We have the opportunity to be the designers and architects to build our own lives! Our way!

    Josh digs deep with me in this episode, as we explore:

     💕 All parts of me & background
     🗣 My coaching style
     💡 Importance of knowing our core values
     ❤️ The value of community
     🙌 The path to personal growth
     ⚡️ Energetic exchange
     💪 The power of your word 

    I am thrilled to share this episode with you, and I hope you find it as inspiring and insightful as I did! Josh is a great interviewer who keeps this squirrel on track. 

    As we head toward my birthday, stay tuned for more upcoming episodes I have curated where I continue to be the interviewee - learn with me!
