  • e01. 2020 is Still Your Year - A Riff on all things mindset, heart, storytelling, and connection

    The podcast is back party people and it is here to stay! What can I say?! The last year or two have been an incredible awakening and homecoming. This first episode of season 2 is just that! This was a training I hosted in my signature mastermind group, which I felt fitting to release as a first podcast episode after an almost 2 year hiatus!

    Plug in with a warm cuppa cacao or tea... or even some chilled vino... as you take in this episode. 2020 has been an intense year of change, growth, uncertainty, expanse, and much more. It has taught us to give ourselves compassion and grace and extend it to one another. It has forced us to level up and rise. It has brought us home to ourselves, and instead of sweeping things under the rug, it has forced us to confront all illusions and see truth for what it truly is, no matter how hard it is to do so.

    That said, this episode is a riff on all things mindset, heartset, emotions, entrepreneurship, storytelling, connection with your community and audience, keeping it real on social media and #IRL as I always say.

  • THWL EP13 - Stepping Into & Evolving Your Leadership with Kari Keating

    What's up, 2020? This year, The Holistic Warrior Life Podcast starts out strong and powerful with our first guest of the year, Kari Keating of Work Hard | Mom Hard. Kari is a business and growth coach, podcast host, speaker, and mom to 3 boys. She had a 17-year career in corporate America where she cultivated skills in the areas of business strategy, sales and storytelling working for companies such as Nike, Quiksilver, lululemon, and other major retailers. Kari is MOST passionate about working with entrepreneurs who want to create a business and brand that last. She’s incredibly gifted at helping women step into their purpose, ignite their passion and truly expand into the women they are called to be.

    On this episode, we talk about:

    • What it means to embrace motherhood, career ambitions, business dreams, and still honor your soul. Learn how Kari found her way out of her corporate career and created a thriving business, with 3 little humans in tow.
    • Why sometimes, the signs you want won't appear in the way you want them to - how Kari found her health and love for coaching through her personal physical and mental transformation through her introduction into Network Marketing.
    • You are always in the driver's seat of your life, it's about time you take charge and figure out a way or continue onward, but don't give up!
    • Why routines, schedules, and discipline is key to achieving success in life and business, and how to channel that every day, even with kids in tow.
    • How you can get in alignment from within -- the language you use, the opportunities you take or let go of, the people you surround yourself with, your nutrition, spirituality, and mindset are key!
    • Learn how to create a business first and then focus on the frills! YOU are your brand and business. The fluff comes after once you have a solid ethos and transformation container, but you need to figure out exactly what that is.
    • Feedback is always a gift, and only take feedback from those who are genuinely invested in you, and who are where you want to be!

  • THWL EP12 - Nia Pycior - Life, Motherhood, and Dream Chasing with PCOS - Changing the Dialogue - Emotionally, Culturally, and Mentally.

    This week on the podcast I share an episode I recorded with a dear author turned friend, Nia Pycior. When I first read her story in her first coauthor book, "You've Got This, Mama, Too," I felt like I was staring at a kindred spirit. Our journeys, though different, were so similar. We are both women who have PCOS but thrive. We are both wives and mamas, and we both love writing and editing! 

    Nia is the product of a Jamaican mother and an American father and takes great pride in her Caribbean roots. Her heritage is often reflected in her diverse perspective on many topics, as well as in outbursts of Patois (Jamaican dialect) when excited, startled, or upset. Nia is always analyzing her life from the perspective of her deathbed, a habit that stemmed from her six years as a hospice social worker. This is how she determines if something is worth doing, saying, or risking. With that in mind, she started a blog, Perfect for the Pocket, where she shares her thoughts on various subjects, including her journey through infertility and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to banish the stigma, shame, and loneliness that can shroud this health condition. She’s been a stay-at-home mama for over a year, and she spends her days managing her vivacious and dramatic two-year-old daughter and one-year-old little boy! In between household duties and daydreaming about the next meal, she fights her natural introverted tendencies by deliberately maintaining a social life. Nia has been married to the love of her life for seven years and lives within minutes of all her in-laws, whom she adores. She is passionate about her faith, family, and good food and enjoys a glass of single malt Scotch, neat. She considers herself a constant work in progress and hopes to be remembered for trying to help others by being vulnerable and sharing her experiences.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Living with PCOS - knowing the first signs and symptoms (it's different for everyone)
    • Changing the dialogue of the feminine vs. masculine, and honoring both energies.
    • Having an open dialogue about women's health and motherhood.
    • Knowing the power of being united in your similarities while embracing your uniqueness
    • We both share our PCOS stories - you got the diagnosis, but now what? We address the emotional and mental journey of life with PCOS, harnessing your mindset and heartset to heal your self-worth, gain self-confidence. 
    • Learning to nurture your body, mind, soul, and passions - mama or not.
    • Having the tough conversations with those in your life about PCOS awareness.
    • Cultivating your support system for yourself and your partner while navigating the waters of hormonal health

  • THWL EP11 - Sabrina Greer of YGTMama Inc. - On Growth, Harnessing The Power of Community, Leaning Into Yourself With Grace

    These next few weeks on the podcast, I will be featuring the Mama Tribe! Who are these women? They are soul-mamas, boss mamas, mentors, sisters, friends, confidantes, and honestly, a special part of my heart and an integral part of my life and sanity. They are also my fellow co-authors who have written some pretty badass, powerful AF, and raw stories in the popular best-selling series on all things empowered and aligned motherhood, "You've Got This, Mama."

    Sabrina is a 2x bestselling author and the mastermind behind this popular motherhood guidebook series, which has been coined “Chicken Soup for the Mama Soul” by numerous publications. She is the founder of YGTMAMA Inc., a company built on love and focused on inclusive resources and opportunities for mothers. Sabrina also curates a popular collective blog space and is the host of You’ve Got This, Mama—The Podcast.

    Sabrina is an aspiring philanthropist who knew from a young age that there was no box for her to comfortably fit into and that her life needed be one by design. After ten years of traveling, modeling, and volunteering overseas, she found home base back in Ontario, Canada where she was born and decided to earn her degree in education and developmental psychology to accredit her world-changing efforts. It did not take long for her to realize that her superpowers lay in entrepreneurship and coaching others to discover their potential. She is a certified NLP practitioner and clarity coach for mamas. She is the Eastern Canada Ambassador for Mamas for Mamas, an award-winning charity that supports mothers in crisis and provides ongoing support to low-income mamas and their kids. Their mission is a future in which no mama or child is left behind.

    When she is not writing or attempting to save the world, you will likely find her exploring her wild feminine in nature, near water or momming hard to her three awesome boys; Oliver (13), Sterling (4) and Walker (2).

    Things we talk about in this episode:

    • Sabrina's journey into motherhood, building her booming business from scratch alongside her babies.
    • Learn about the power of community, organic reach, building your village and reaching out for help online and offline.
    • The power of being raw and authentic in life, business, and motherhood.
    • Being unapologetic about self-care - it is a need - however you partake in it. 
    • Owning your personal development to make way for lifechanging growth in all spheres of your life.
    • Growth strategies to help you move through self-doubt, build self-confidence, and trust yourself - as a mom, as a woman, as a business owner.
    • New and upcoming things for YGTMama Inc and the super rad Mama Tribe!

  • THWL EP07 - Paula Man - Embracing Health, Fitness, Nutrition By Honoring The Season You're In
    This week on the podcast, we have the pleasure of interviewing my beautiful co-author in our book "On Her Plate," Paula Man. Paula Man has her diploma in fitness and health promotion and is a certified personal trainer, certified LeBert Equalizer trainer, and an accountability coach. She is a passionate warrior for helping women feel empowered, something which came about through many sequences of blessed opportunities. Paula has been featured on the tv show York Region LIVE for fitness & lifestyle segments, as well as radio talk shows for guidance on making fitness “fit” into all lifestyles for any person. She specializes in motivation, accountability, and empowerment. She strives to show her clients how strong they are and how they can reach their goals and are worth spending the time on to achieve.  Paula is wife to an incredibly sexy husband, Nick, and a mother to four beautiful little girls: Abbigail, Payton, Hailey, and Isabella. Paula understands the “I’m too tired,” or “I’m too busy,” reasons so many women have for not exercising. Her passion lies in showing women that it doesn’t take hours and hours of super intense exercise that will have you not walking properly for days to see results. You can reach your goals and you will be successful, but you need to decide that you are worth it. The question isn’t can you, it’s will you? Come join Paula and myself as we talk about:- Why your energy matters! Protect it at all costs - How are you showing up for yourself? How are you showing up in your business? How do you show up for your kids?- Ditching the mom guilt / the "I am not enough," and truly owning your worth. Your worth is not defined by the weighing scale. Letting go of expectations. Who's voice and emotions are you tuning into? Yours or everyone else's.- Tuning into your feminine and masculine energy and cycles - eating, exercising, sleeping, and living a holistic life by tuning into your hormones, nurturing them, and honoring them.- Honoring your season in life - pre and post pregnancy fitness, why age does NOT matter -- you CAN always get healthy - it's a mindset and ritual formation.- Fitness should be sustainable, something that you can implement consistently in your everyday life. Why exercising like you're preparing for a sprint race is NOT the answer to healthy hormones, especially if you have chronic stress, chronic fatigue, or hormonal imbalances.- Mindset - why your environment matters, your support system can make or break you, how to maintain a healthy mindset when you are faced with opposition, and how you can re-write your gene code (yep, that's right!) by simply creating a wholesome, nourishing lifestyle.- Reframing language and perspective to hit your goals, to show up authentically in your life - for yourself, your family, your business. Why planning and preparation is the key to hitting those goals and bringing your vision to life. Braving the seasons of your life with grit and grace. - Why healing your self-worth is the foundation for your mindset, your lifestyle, and ultimately, how you show up in life.Want to experience more of Paula's inspiring and warm spirit? Connect with Paula via the below social platforms: WWW.PERFORMANCEFITNESSTRAINING.COM ig: paula_performace_fit | fb: paula.man.7...Thank you for tuning in!
