Shine on You

Hello sweet friends! I am bubbling with excitement to share this week's solo episode. As a people pleaser in recovery, I have discovered a few KEY things about that pattern that I am getting into on this recording.

A common factor  in not living your life on your terms is because we are caught up in a pattern of people pleasing. People pleasing in action often means we go against our own intuition to make someone else happy or to not be on the receiving end of judgements or disapproval. Not only is this an energy leak causing exhausting & depleting it can become an unconscious way of life. 

It's one of those things that as we mature through life we GET to look at and practice another option. For some of us this is harder than others, if you're an empath/HSP/Introvert or combination there of feeling others projections alone can be LITERALLY painful. Like a physical pain. 

OOF. I have a few tips/ ideas to share with you if this has come up in your life and I would love to hear your sage words of advice too! It's a tricky one that can have lifelong implications for sure. 

DId you know the number #1 regret of dying (from the book by @bronnie.ware) is NOT LIVING LIFE ON YOUR TERMS. No thank you. 

In fact, I've been over here behind the scenes  creating a whole thing around accessing the potential of your intuition  to feel empowered that you are securely in the drivers seat of co-creating with the uni.

Please enjoy this one!

Love!

Hello friends!

Hold on to your hearts for today's guest interview with captivating storyteller, author & creative with @ohhilaurahere, Laura Diaz Freeland.

A short time ago, Laura went through an unimaginably harrowing birth of her twin girls at just 22 weeks gestation. She is here with us today to talk about this life changing journey that her family has endured & the subsequent book she has authored, "Not What I had in Mind: A Motherhood Origin Story".

In this episode, you'll hear:

-the beginnings of Laura's lifelong calling to be a writer & creative

-how she has transmuted this vulnerable traumatic series of events of advocating for her micro preemie daughters into a story that will capture your heart, make you laugh out loud (humor is DEFINETLY a natural gift of Laura's ) and feel the gratitude to the one's that get us through the hard times.

-how Laura coped with being thrown into the deep end of literal life or death circumstances of her girl's survival & navigating though the resulting mental health impact herself.

Trusting yourself, your journey & putting your head down to do what you need to do when life throughs you a major curveball.

No doubt her story will connect with the heart of any mother in any circumstance. We all can relate in some way to reality vs expectation of bringing a child into the world. It changes us into leaders we never knew we were going to be & bonds us with a unique empathy for each other. ❤️❤️❤️

It would mean the world, if you shared this episode with a mom in your life! 

Please go show Laura & her book some love!

Ever meet someone & even after a brief interaction there was an opening- a catalyst that causes you to shift your whole perspective in a few minutes?  

That is exactly what happened when I had my first appointment with Master Licensed & Certified Oncology Esthetician, Penelope Naughton.  

Our initial experience (& every one after) has changed my perspective on skin care for the better.  I  felt empowered in a way that I didn't know existed  with my own maturing skin but she introduced me to a whole new way of approaching skincare that goes deeper than potions & products. The RESULTS were like nothing I had personally experienced before. 

So friends we are in for a GOOD TIME today. Penelope is NOT your average esthetician- she is highly specialized in her training & expertise to address lympathic drainage, facial SCULPTING (hello!!)  that oh by the way relieves pain and tension with the method of buccal intra oral massage. She is someone I deeply admire- who is challenging the "anti-aging" norms & has a no nonsense LOVING approach infused into her every interaction. 

In this beyond skin deep conversation we get into ways of approaching your whole wellbeing that starts with your skin & ends with embracing yourself as an empowered queen👑.   Let's go to skin therapy with my face shaman as I call her, Penelope - this next hour could likely change how you've been told to think about your skin forever! 

And if you are fortunate enough to be near WIlmington, NC- MUST go see her for yourself at the new next level spa experience at the gorgeous space  @graciousglownc 

Enjoy LOVES💖

Hello beautiful souls 💖

Ever feel like your mind is wanting to CONTROL outcomes or trying to "make" things happen? Yeah, well me too. I  don't necessarily plan these solo shares and just wait for a nudge from spirit. This episode is a message that really wanted to come through as it has been a repeating theme popping up in multiple places 🌀

If you're like me in the sense that a good bit of energy naturally goes into "trying to figure things out"- this is for us! 

I have been invited lately to drop into my heart more than ever. My mind is a busy place & can have me running in circles honestly. Chasing my tail & this creates tension & contraction which is the opposite energy of flow & receptivity.  Neither are "good" or "bad" just maybe out of balance at times with the tendency to be in illusion that I can MAKE this happen. When all that does is wear me out and leave tension in my body.

Come along for my sharing on a few SIMPLE ways to let go of control- drop into the heart & trust that our soul is orchestrating so beyond what our thinking mind is even capable of doing. 

Sending big heart opening, nervous system regulating hugs to you💗

Hello Sunshine ☀️

Today is an episode packed with updates!  From microdosing updates to owning our self transformation & giving permission to PIVOT - it's wild & kinda unexpected what is coming through with purposefulness and intensity.  You ALL are incredible space holders and I totally realize i just might drive some of you crazy with my spontaneity and optimistic nature. I can't help it honestly. 😁  My intuition is my co-pllot and that lady is a WILD one. She gets the hit & is already both feet in. AND TBH, I am learning to trust her more than EVER. 

 You know those parts that are actually your favorite, most FUN aspects but likely freaked people out when you were little to which you left by the way for very good reasons like acceptance in your unit or the sake of being GOOD, etc? 

Well we are going on a recon mission... to reclaim those creative, fun, wild sparkly glimmers. 

I am pretty confident in saying that from here...  

You can expect more COLOR, creativity for the sake of it (def not to be "GOOD" at it), opportunities to heal & TRANSFORM all because you have unearthed hidden GOLD inside. 

No more dimming to fit in. We are here to enliven the creative sparkly self, connect deeper within to  intuition & uplift yourself from the the parts of life that are mundane or boring. SOUL excited for what's coming 💖

I also talk through the shifts happening for summer (and possibly beyond) on the schedule of the podcast. Best thing to do is follow the show for notifications on new releases (including more inspiring interviews to come!) >  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/feel-good-with-renee/id1659491982

Have you ever wondered what your animals would tell you if they could? Well, I found out and it blew my mind!  Welcome to an incredible episode that may change the way you think about your pet's furever.  ;) Nope, couldn't help that pun ... 

Today we are so grateful to have world renowned pet psychic & medium Carrie Kenady. on the podcast.  I met Carrie a little while back when we enlisted her support to communicate with our Frenchie Leila who was having significant separation anxiety amongst other tendencies.  The insights that Carrie brought through were not just helpful but mind-boggling. Our family often still refers to some of Leila's preferences that she expressed to us through Carrie from that session.

Carrie is such a sweet empathic soul- can't wait for you (and perhaps your pet's) to get to know her.

AND as a SPECIAL BONUS, you will get to hear Carrie give a live reading of my podcast counterpart Luke the cat and what he wants me to know blew my mind!! 

In this episode we cover:

-The traumatic event that was actually a catalyst to Carrie leaning into her abilities and innate connection with animals

-Her journey to embracing the gift of mediumship & specifically inuitive writing supported her with leaning into her path of a psychic and medium

-How her work gives peace and comfort to pet owners with animals that have passed over

-Hear a LIVE reading of Luke my sweet cat and co-host of this show really ;)

-Are you an animal empath too? 

I can't wait to hear your LOVE and feedback from this incredible episode with Carrie!
