Nothing will force you to take a good look at your patterns and shadows like a major life transition, which can look like changing careers, moving, having kids, or becoming an entrepreneur!  I am so thankful to Fi Simler, Founder of Astra Business Coaching, for talking with me about showing up fearlessly and authentically both in life and business in spite of our core wounds and inner critic. 

We all have residual trauma from past experiences and absorbing programming, which can sometimes block us from taking steps toward the life we really want. One root of this trauma and blockage for many people myself included sounds something like: The harder I work, the more I bust ass, the more I am operate like a machine, is the only way to succeed. But, this mentality is approaching business and success as if it's a one dimensional thing, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Fi reminds us to slow down and ask the question - "Is this true?" Mindfulness through self care like yoga and meditation.  

"I had to ask myself: When did I learn that I needed to break my body to be successful?" ~ Fi Simler

Co-Regulation in Action! Yoga Instructor, Mom and My Good Friend La Toya Rusiniak  

Actual text message sent to my good friend La Toya just a few days ago:  

"I am scared. I am avoiding a lot because I don't think I will get the response I'm looking for. Or no one will get it. Or no one will sign up/show up.  Also at the same time I'm just like overwhelmed with life. My brain is already at capacity. I am so far behind in this course. Wow.  I know this is momentary but I'm getting real tired of this broken record. Because I have been here too many times. "  

In true bestie fashion, within maybe 20 min of this text, La Toya called me up. AND WE GOT TO WORK. She held space for my thoughts (both the rational and irrational). She related by sharing her own experiences. She offered her humble and informed advice. AND THEN, because we are two mamas trying to make a difference, we EVEN starting brainstorming about how to help other women in this same situation.  SO we thought, lets do it all again but for all the world to hear and see! This is not just about venting to a friend, though there is a time and space for that form of self soothing. This is about co-regulating as a form of self-regulating , and it's why haven't a tribe of like-minded friends who share your lived experience is SO IMPORTANT.

Self Care isn't always pretty. In fact, sometimes it's downright uncomfortable. And to boot, our society has unfortunately done a great job at teaching us not only that discomfort is BAD, but to avoid (suppress) it at every turn. Self care is about improving your life - your wellness, happiness and fulfillment. And if your relationship are strained or even dysfunctional, you are the only one that can do something about.

In this episode, we talk about three things you need to accept about having those tough conversation that would hopefully lead to improved relationships. I would love to hear what you think! So please leave me a review or feel free to continue to the conversation with me over on instagram @the_aligned_heart.

I am finally ready to start talking about the "T" word! I have been bursting at the seams to have this conversation, and honestly I have been holding back for fear that I am not qualified or educated enough. But I am finally ready!

This episode is an overview of trauma and mental health, how trauma lives out in our lives, how our nervous system is involved, how yoga can aid in trauma resolution, and why being trauma informed as teachers and as humans is so important.

In this NEW Mom Bomb episode, we're talking to NEW MOM and Certified Master Life & Weight Loss Coach Jillian Lama!

"So often self care is positioned as "take care of yourself so that you can take care of others" instead of taking care of yourself simply because we're worth it and deserve to have some pleasure, joy and peace. A smaller body doesn't fix a broken self concept." ~ Jillian Lama

In this episode of Self Care Is My Job, we welcome Jen Haddix The Self Love Yogi and go deep into the work of rekindling self love and self worth. For those of us that have become aware that a lack of confidence (self trust and self worth) are what holds us back from living our full expression, we've also established that it's not as easy as flipping a switch on or off. To rekindle our sense of self love takes work. But it's a beautiful unfolding that we encourage you to explore. 

Thank you Jen Haddix for this amazing conversation! Jen is The Self Love Yogi and her work is in helping you to use yoga, meditation and self love to break the matrix and change your life. 

"Can you imagine if all of us were born and allowed to be the fullest expression of ourselves? The world would be a very different place." ~ Jen Haddix

Let's slow down and become aware of the ways in which we distract ourselves from discomfort at every turn.  Whether it's with alcohol or other substances or with an activity like scrolling social media, so often we have a tendency to numb, and self medicate our negative emotions and sensations. Don't worry! It's normal because it's what we were taught. But you can rip that program out and reinstall a new one. Release what does not serve you. Let go. #fall2021  If this video triggers you: ask yourself why and I love you. xo

YOU'RE INVITED TO THE SOBER OCTOBER CHALLENGE: An Alcohol free challenge for Self Care Over Self Medicating! 

We will collectively abstain from alcohol from Oct 1-15 (option to do the whole month!) I will provide daily a mix of education, motivation, and self soothing practices to help you along! Together we got this!

When I found Chelsey online, I realized immediately we are both on a similar mission. To help people who are stuck get unstuck by burning down the old programming and making way for the TRUTH and wisdom that already exists inside all of us.

In this episode, Chelsey shares her personal story, going from abuse and neglect as a teen to now an empowered leader. There is inevitably always major trauma that occurs early on in the lives of the leaders that I am fortunate enough to co-create with on this show. They choose to follow their intuition, burn down their trauma, and rise from the ashes. And I am ever grateful for their willingness to share their stories. We talked about the most prominent negative cycles people struggle with including generational trauma, guilt, shame and lack of self worth. 

Chesley Wildfire is a Feminine Embodiment Coach whose goal is to help women burn through their fears & limitations to find inner safety, connection and pleasure. We do this by being aware of our patterns, and enacting practices to break away from the cycles passed down to us that keep us stuck.
