Tired of trying to find the reason for shit that happens in your life?

Me too.

This episode is my raw take on our recent loss. The pain is still painful. My head is still spinning a bit as I wrestle a lot of big feelings.

Is life a game to figure out? Is there really a reason for everything that happens? Why do some things work out and then other parts of life feel like a cruel joke?

I have a lot of questions. We all do. Maybe that’s okay. Maybe there aren’t answers. 

Join me today as I hash it out with raw honesty.

This week I am deeply honored and super stoked to have the lovely Jen Johnmeyer on to share her life story. Jen is not only a talented writer, she is also a mother, wife, and beautiful student of life. Though her story is woven with pain and hardship, her journey has led her to find deep healing, meaning, and gratitude that has projected her into her best life yet. 

Jen’s story reminds us it’s never too late to try again - to learn to value and honor ourselves. From early beginnings of struggle to now embracing and loving her carefree 50’s, Jen is an inspiration to us all. 

Jen is a true model of her life motto: “Leave life better than you found it.”

The lightness, honesty, and clarity, are apparent in her voice. Her joy is undeniable!

I am incredibly grateful for this conversation. I know you will be too!

This week, I am super excited to officially launch my rebranding of this podcast as “Out With The Old, In With The You!” Shout out to Faith Lee for her badass podcast cover design!

Today we kick the celebration off with an empowering discussion about how we can learn to work through our trauma triggers. Yes, it’s actually possible!

With the advice from Michael A. Singer and his incredible book, “The Untethered Soul: A Journey Beyond Yourself, " we dig into some important truths about why we all get so triggered in life and how we can live a life free of triggers. 

I know, it sounds kinda crazy.

But stay with me! I have tried these techniques Michael writes about, and they ACTUALLY work! 

Also, I share some of my recent insights into how I am learning to view my life experiences in a way that helps me embrace them instead of resisting them.

Are you a “Stone Stepper” or a “Rock Collector”? Dig in with me today and find out!

Have you ever experienced watching a cat come back to life?

Well, we did. And in today’s episode, my daughter Avriella shares our incredible cat story. 

After bad luck with the last two cats she has owned, Avriella was prepared for another tragedy. But what could have been a very traumatic ending, was miraculously turned around in a very unexpected way.

Apparently manifesting works.

Listen in to hear the whole story! 😉

And please share this episode with a cat lover you know!

Life is full of unpredictable events. Hell, just living life is a dangerous undertaking!

We all know what it feels like to have our day ruined by frustrating, unexpected issues. 

The unfortunate news is that life will continue to “life” and things will continue to go “wrong”. 

The GOOD news is that these events do not have to dictate how we feel nor do they have to ruin our day! We still have lots of choices!

Join me today as I give some helpful insights into how our brain works and how we can use it to “hack our life”!

Are you tired of riding the roller coaster of life’s uncontrollable events? 

Do you feel exhausted from constantly trying to calm the storm?

Does the thought of living a peaceful life feel out of reach?

Today, I'm sharing an incredible book that has been changing my life in big ways. In his book, “The Untethered Soul”, Michael A. Singer unpacks the secret to achieving this unshakeable inner peace.

What Michael discovered through many years of practice is actually quite simple. However, simple doesn’t often mean easy, and learning new skills takes strategy and patience.

Of course, who better to learn that from than Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Martha Beck. 😎 

We don’t reach our goals through wishing. It takes purposeful planning and the determination to get back up when we fall.

If you’re ready to stop living in stress and start living in peace, this episode is for you.

Check out "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer for more empowering wisdom!

Special episode this week! Be the first to hear my new book read aloud!

Today I share about my recent trip to visit my sister and her kids and how this experience inspired me to write my first children's book.

Evolving is beautiful work, but it is also hard work and sometimes scary as fuck. Learning to honor our transformation by opening up to those we love can feel risky.

Join me today as I share my struggle to tell my sister about my name change, and how her response helped me heal just a little bit more.

If you enjoy this book, I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
