  • The Coming Together & Falling Apart of Relationships
    During the month of February, I'll be talking a lot about relationships. Whether it's a romance, friendship, or even the one we have with our own soul, relationships create the magic in life. In today's episode, I discuss Knapp's Relationship Development Model and how every relationship goes through definitive stages. If you're struggling in a relationship or someone you love is struggling, this podcast episode may help you figure out where that breakdown is happening and what to do about it. I also talk about relational maintenance and offer some strategies to nurture a relationship if it's one you're hoping to have for a very long time. I'm not a couples counselor by any stretch, but with a background in psychology, I'm forever learning and researching about the human mind and social development. Lastly, to see a helpful visual of Knapp's model, do a quick Google search to find the Knapp pie chart and see how some of the stages intertwine and can actually work to strengthen relationships. I hope you enjoy today's episode.

  • 5 Things to Smile About - January 2023
    It's easy to spiral into a mindset of negativity and overthinking, but with a little practice, we can shift our habits to where we automatically focus on the good in our lives instead of the bad. One of my life mantras is "Whatever we appreciate, we create more of." If we focus on and appreciate the good in our lives, we will create more good in our lives. The opposite is true as well. In this episode, I offer five things that made me smile this month (in no particular order). This is a practice I started many years ago when I was blogging three times a week on my blog, Zealous Mom. No matter the mood I'm in going into it, simply focusing on five things that made me smile during the month instantly shifts my energy. After listening to my list, I encourage you to do the same. You'll be so happy you did.

  • Manifesting 101: How to Create a Life You Love

    Most of us know a little about or have at least heard the term "manifesting." In early 2022, I became very curious about the practices surrounding manifestation and began performing them in my own life, only to be very surprised by how much they increased my vibration and energy. I also realized how throughout my life, I have unknowingly manifested people, things, and situations by subconsciously performing the steps of manifestation. In today's episode, I dive into the basics of manifesting and discuss the five main steps of this age-old practice. I also give several examples of things I've recently manifested into my life. Below are time stamps for each step to make referencing easier. I hope you enjoy, and good luck on your unique manifesting journey.  Get clear on your desires: 9:10 Proclaim and visualize: 15:40 Identify limiting beliefs: 20:30 Take inspired action: 23:02 Be patient and receive: 28:28

  • How Worrying Breeds Chaos + Powerful Signs From the Universe
    Gabby Bernstein says, "Worry is a prayer for chaos." I learned that firsthand this week. I also learned how to read signs from the universe and how these signs can help us get through challenging situations. Today's episode focuses on this very trying week and my son's worrisome bacterial skin infection. I also talk about how love and unique signs from the universe calmed my fears and encouraged me to be a source of strength for my child. This week was a huge reminder that what we focus on we create more of.

  • When the Universe Throws Curveballs
    I had a different episode recorded for today, but then the universe threw a curveball. I'm getting better at recognizing curveballs and not letting them derail me completely. In today's podcast I share what that curveball was/is and why I'm pushing through it anyway. As content creators, we often offer the beginning and ending of neatly packaged stories, but sometimes it's helpful to give a glimpse into the messy middle of things.

  • Secrets to Living a Longer Life
    I want to live until I'm at least 100-years old. I want to see flowers blossom, snow fall, kids laugh, the sun rise and set, and the taste of delicious food for as long as possible. I want to be with my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I want to travel and see so many parts of this beautiful earth. Also, I believe our souls move on past this lifetime. It's our responsibility to take care of them and help them grow while they are in our bodies. 
    Recently I learned about the Blue Zone phenomenon. The Blue Zones are five regions around the globe where people live well past age 100. These folks are called centenarians. On today's episode, I tell you a few stories about why elderly people are my crystal balls and also offer 'The Power of 9' which are the 9 things the people in Blue Zones do to ensure a long, happy, purposeful life. You can learn even more by following Dan Buettner on Instagram. He is the founder of the Blue Zones.

  • Hot Topics in Skincare for 2023

    Whether we're 23 or 43 and whether it's acne or wrinkles, most of us worry about our skin. My sister, Savannah, is a brilliant esthetician. She has been passionate about skincare since pimples first started popping up on our faces when we were adolescents. In today's episode, she and I discuss hot topics in skincare including navigating the world of serums and eye patches, morning vs. nighttime routines, caring for your skin in the winter months, the importance of seeking a professional, and psychodermatology, which is the connection between skin and our minds. Below are specific topics with the time stamp in case you want to revisit a particular part of the conversation. I plan to feature Savannah and her vast knowledge periodically but until then, be sure to follow her on Instagram at skin_by_savannah.  Caring for skin in winter months: 1:13 Layering technique: 2:21 Sunscreen indoors? 4:09 The 411 on serums: 5:25 Under eye patches: 8:02 Are “green” products effective? 10:59 Essential oils on the skin: 15:14 Seeking a professional: 16:27 Slugging: 17:08 Psychodermatology: 19:45 A final note on skincare: 27:55

    P.S. After publishing this episode, my 13-year old son expressed concerns about slugging's impact on the environment considering Aquaphor, Vaseline and CeraVe are made from petroleum which is a fossil fuel. He definitely has a point and one that I should have addressed in the original audio. With that in mind, alternatives to petroleum-based products are Waxelene, beeswax, shea butter, and jojoba oil. I love when my children enlighten me.
