Own Your Era

I hate the phrase never say never, but give me a challenge that I don't think I can do and I will show up full throttle.

At the beginning of the new year, I silently embarked on a journey. If you've been following my stories, my hair has been a HOT mess and for a reason.

Tune in to learn more about my 20 day experience with 26 postures + 2 breathing exercises at 105 degrees in a room full of strangers and just my thoughts.

I sweat. I grew. I'm obsessed.

This episode with Kristi Welch is REAL and it's RAW. Kristi messaged me one day a few months ago and said, "I kissed the world of nursing GOODBYE."

She had been following my journey for years and was a burned out Nurse wanting and believing in MORE for herself. As we chatted, I found out that she had this amazingly powerful story that I knew you needed to hear.

From low self-esteem, a failed marriage, alcoholism, and nursing burnout--Kristi has CHOSEN to GRAB LIFE and RISE.

Last year she made a leap to follow her passion for helping other women on their health and fitness journeys with her signature program, Truth2Transform. She busts through the BS of diet culture and helps women reach their goals with TRUTH.

Tune in for a journey of TRIUMPH and the reminder that your past NEVER defines your FUTURE unless you let it. Follow Kristi here: https://www.instagram.com/kristiwelchfitness/

The childfree life--A CHOICE. I am so excited for this episode and pumped that I got to chat about it with someone else! Today's special guest: Shauna, from Dinks Podcast chats her childfree CHOICE.

Shauna is newly married and living her childfree life in the DMV area. She's an entrepreneur, a licensed nail technician and becoming an Independent Educator in the beauty industry--all while having a full time carer as a government contractor.

Being childfree is NOT to be confused with those women struggling with infertility or wanting to have children, but not able to due to many circumstances.

The childfree conversation needs to be had and that's exactly what Shauna and I do in this episode. Being a 30 something and in a relationship leads to lots of questions and shows the projections that we are faced with due to what has been the norm of society.

It's time to break free from what we SHOULD be doing and start doing what we WANT to do...always within reason. But a woman's body should ALWAYS be her choice and not one dictated by the government, religion, or any other f*ckery.

More about Shauna:

Shauna is super passionate about giving people(men and women) the space to speak their truth about their choice of not having, have and realized maybe this wasn't the best decision, or on the fence about having children.

Regardless of the decision it's a CHOICE and she wants you to speak it UNAPOLOGETICALLY!! Follow Shauna and Dinks Podcast here on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dinks_podcast/

Redefining wellness--a topic that needs an OPEN and CANDID conversation with the new year fully underway.

This episode with Nadia Al-Yagout, future Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, is one that you need a piece of paper for notes and are going to catch yourself screaming YASSS as KNOWLEDGE BOMB after KNOWLEDGE BOMB is dropped!⁣

Many of us fall in the trap of believing that wellness is just about an aesthetic or one way of eating. Wellness is a connection between mind, body, and spirit. Nadia will help you bridge the gaps that may exist for you and where you need to do the WORK.

Wellness is doing the DEEP internal work to heal past traumas that we are carrying and bringing our subconscious thoughts to the conscious mind.⁣

More About Nadia: ⁣

Nadia is pursuing licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). She currently studies Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Depth at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. Nadia believes in the importance of understanding the connections between the body, mind & soul and is interested in bringing a holistic approach to psychotherapy.⁣
