In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast, we're diving into the physical and emotional symptoms that often accompany personal growth and transformation. Whether you're working on healing old wounds, raising your vibration, or exploring a spiritual path, it's not uncommon to experience physical signs like fatigue, ear ringing, headaches, or changes in sleep and appetite. Noticing the symptoms and exploring how they can be signs of energetic upgrades as we process new emotional and spiritual shifts.

In this episode of the Powered by Joy podcast, we dive into the stress and chaos that can overwhelm us in our daily lives. We discuss practical tools to help hit the reset button when everything feels out of control. Drawing from a personal story about my energetic grand-dog, I share how our frantic reactions to life’s stressors can mirror the way we allow tension to take over. Simple, accessible steps to regain calm: breathing exercises, movement, visualization, and anchoring into gratitude are crucial to reset. These tools help shift us out of survival mode and back into peace and flow, reminding us of the power we have to choose how we respond to stress

These tools can be used by listeners- stop, breathe deeply, and move your bodies as a way to release tension. Visualizing stressful situations and releasing them can create a much-needed sense of distance. Finally, by anchoring into positive, loving memories, we can refocus our energy and cultivate gratitude. Whether it’s through small moments or daily practices, these steps can bring more joy and ease into our lives. They are free and more importantly powerful in resetting you and your emotions!

My episodes should never replace professional advice of any kind. If you struggle with negative thoughts or depression please seek professional guidance.

In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast we have our first guest Dr. Annette Athy. It was my privilege to welcome her for a genuine discussion around grief and death. It can often be a taboo subject for all parties involved in processing the grief of a loved one passing away. 

You find yourself not sure what to say to someone in grief, don’t want to “bring it up” and upset them… On the other hand you don’t want to seem like you don’t care… It becomes the elephant in the room. You don’t know how to offer real help that they will receive. 

If you are the one in grief, you may want to talk about it but feel that others are over it or don’t want to hear about your loved one who passed or about your struggling emotions around dealing with life after they are gone? Maybe you don’t know how to ask for help because you are so overwhelmed or numb.

When there are children involved, which is often, we discuss helpful tips and tools that Annette has developed and used for years. In those years, she has found that the adults usually were never taught tools to openly discuss grief and all the emotions that are involved. Let alone dealing with day to day life after everyone has gone back to their normal routine. The secondary trauma that happens when suddenly mom who was home before and after school is no longer there. 

There are so many aspects of grief that are just not spoken about and it’s time we normalize speaking about death, grief, and all the emotions that come with it. How it shows up differently in all of us. When we know how our loved ones are processing their grief with tools like the Grief Storm Quiz (see below for the link to the quiz), it helps us to understand each other more. We also discuss how having small discussions about grief often is so much better than waiting for the child or person in grief to bring up the topic…which can lead to a big storm of emotions! 

No matter your age, experiencing the death of a loved one is a life altering event! We want to make sure you know there are tools available to help you. Most importantly, you are not alone or doing it wrong! There is no normal when it comes to grief, no correct timeline for moving on.

Below are some amazing resources and please connect with Dr. Annette Athy via links below if you are even slightly curious, or feel desperate for resources. I have personally experienced her genuine, warm, authentic guidance and wisdom, shared in easy and understandable ways.

Dr. Annette Athy, a grief specialist and child development expert, has over 20 years of experience working with children and families. With a doctorate in counseling from the University of North Texas, she retired her clinical counseling license to better focus on empowering parents, educators, and professionals through grief education. Dr. Athy now runs an online coaching business, supporting parents of grieving children and offering resources to combat grief illiteracy. She also developed the Grief Storm Quiz to help parents understand and support their child's unique grief needs. Combining formal education with real-world parenting experiences, Dr. Athy provides impactful support for families navigating grief.

In this episode of the Powered by Joy Podcast, we tackle the common struggle of not trusting ourselves, creating self-doubt and how to build trust in our decision-making. We explore why we often doubt ourselves and learn five practical tools to strengthen self-trust, allowing us to make decisions with more ease and confidence.

1. Get to Know Yourself: The importance of understanding your core values, likes, and dislikes is a part of the process. This involves tuning into your "knower"—your intuition—and asking yourself, "Is this what I really want?" By becoming more in touch with your true self, you lay the foundation for greater self-trust.

Approach self-trust as a journey, not a destination. Each step forward, no matter how small, is progress. Try sharing your experiences of building self-trust with others, reminding everyone that learning from decisions—even imperfect ones—is a powerful way to grow.

FREE CORE VALUE TOOL-Download Core Value Exercise  This is a quick tool you can use to gain massive clarity (that is STEP 1!), which is so important when trying to develop self-trust and crush the distracting and draining self-doubt! This is a quick and fun way to get to know yourself even better!

In this episode of the Powered by Joy Podcast, we dive deep into the topic of fear, I share a personal experience of confronting fear head-on while at a racetrack recently. Noticing a seasonal pattern of fear that held me back each year, especially while riding my motorcycle. Realizing how much fear and self-doubt were dominating my thoughts, affecting my performance, and robbing me of the joy I could have been experiencing. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck dealing with fear, and may feel hesitant to take action in any area of  your life.

We cover 5 powerful tools to help overcome fear, such as observing emotions without judgment, reflecting on achievements and not failures, and visualizing success along with tying powerful emotions to positive outcomes. We address the importance of gratitude, both for the opportunities to strive for your desires and the journey. Remember seeking guidance or coaching when feeling stuck can expedite the process and bring you results more quickly (sometimes easier too). By shifting our focus from fear to love, trust, and gratitude, we get  to reclaim our joy, punch fear in the face, and embrace the wins, growth, and adventures life offers. Listen in as we discuss actionable strategies to help you expand your capacity for joy and empower you to live a fuller, more adventurous life.

In this episode of the Powered by Joy podcast, we dive into the importance of creating space in our lives for joy, happiness, and adventure, especially when we feel stuck in a rut or overwhelmed by life's demands. If you’re feeling drained from the daily grind—whether it's from work, family responsibilities, or even the joyful chaos of summer activities—this episode offers practical advice on how to recharge and reset. Sharing my personal experience of feeling exhausted and unmotivated, and how I pushed through by committing to my morning self-care routine, emphasizing the power of movement and intentional actions to shift energy and improve mood. I just had to start! Not focus on how I felt. Stay focused on the outcome!

We focus on the value of morning rituals, even when you don't feel like doing them, and how these small acts of self-care can lead to a more productive and joyful day. I encourage you to carve out time for yourself, even if it means saying no to other obligations, and to start the day with uplifting content to set a positive tone. Whether it’s a quick workout, a moment of grounding in nature, or simply listening to something inspiring, these habits can help you show up as your best self, ready to tackle the day with energy and enthusiasm. There is also a free self-care guide to help you develop your own morning routine that supports your well-being and empowers you to live with more joy and ease.

In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast we discuss finding yourself saying "I'm sorry" far too often, even when it's not necessary? It’s something many of us do—whether we bump into someone at the store or decline an invitation, we often default to apologizing and offering justification or explanation. But have you ever wondered why this habit is so ingrained and how it impacts us? We will delve into the origins of this behavior, exploring why we feel compelled to apologize for things that don’t require an apology and how it can be disempowering.

We’ll discuss how the words we choose, like "sorry," can affect our self-perception and the energy we bring into our lives. Words are so powerful—they can uplift or diminish us. Today, we'll explore how to reclaim our power by small steps, shifting the way we communicate, especially in situations where over-apologizing has become a habit. We’ll review practical strategies to stop this automatic response and start to use language that honors both ourselves and others. By making small changes in how we express ourselves, we can foster more joy, confidence, and authenticity in our daily lives. If you’re ready to stop over-apologizing and start living with more intention, you’re in the right place.

In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast, we're diving deep into what it feels like to hit a wall—whether it's in achieving a goal, finishing a project, or simply dealing with a frustrating situation in daily life. I’m so excited about this solution that challenges our traditional, often rigid approaches to overcoming obstacles. We reflect on how we’ve all been conditioned to grind, work harder, and push through difficulties, but through a personal journey I reveal that embracing play and joy can be a powerful, and perhaps unexpected, antidote to feeling stuck.

We cover how my own experience of making space for play in my life, whether through engaging in motor sports for fun or exploring spiritual practices with like-minded friends opened up space for big change. Surprisingly, these moments of joy and playfulness led to a significant breakthrough in my professional life, more than doubling my business results. We focus on the importance of recognizing the signals our bodies give us when we're hitting a limit and how stepping away to play can reset our energy, creativity, and overall progress, creating space for breakthrough.

With a four-step process—Observe, Acknowledge, Curiosity, and  Go Play—we acknowledge the importance of integrating fun and joy into daily life. By doing so, not only can we overcome obstacles, but we also become more magnetic and creative in our pursuits. The episode also includes a FREE resource with playful ideas to help you quickly shift your energy whenever you feel stuck. Whether you're facing a major challenge or just a minor setback, this episode encourages you to harness the power of play to find your way forward.
