The Law of Attraction, or rather, the manifestation coaching industry, sells you the promise that you can have whatever you want, and all you have to do is follow their one sized fits all practice. In this conversation I want to bring awareness to some of the things in the manifestation coaching industry that may be making you feel like a failure, or making you feel like you are doing something wrong, or like you are going mad hatter mad trying to figure it out because it is so vague or doesn’t even make any sense. You are not doing anything wrong! 

If you have been confused about manifestation, or the practices and concepts have made you feel like you would never get it, this conversation is for you. I talk about the darker side of the manifestation industry, what to look out for, how your mindset and emotions are not pushing away the things you want, and what you can start doing today to work towards the things you desire.

Continuing on from my conversation in episode 48, I wanted to keep exploring anger. 

Anger is such a powerful driver, especially when it is wrapped up in our deepest empathy. I think we all know anger pretty well. We can feel it in our bodies before we even react. There is nothing wrong with getting angry. I mean, welcome to being a human being. You’re going to get angry. But do you want to act on it? That is what we are going to explore in this podcast episode.

I share:

- How my recent anger was empathy in disguise.

- A practice to help you feel, process and understand your anger. 

- What you can do when someone is directing anger towards you. 

- Learning to express your anger in a positive way.

In this meaningful conversation, I sat down with Tricia Nelson. Tricia is an internationally acclaimed author, transformational TEDx speaker and Emotional Eating Expert.

This is a conversation that I believe many women can relate to.

Tricia shares how her own struggles with emotional eating began in early childhood, where she attempted to cope with the stresses of life and emotional pain by overeating and other destructive behaviours. And how that led her to committing the last three decades, to helping thousands of people heal their relationship with food.

In this conversation you will learn that it was never about food, it was and always has been about your emotions. Something so many of us grow up not talking about, including not being taught coping mechanisms to help us during challenging times. Which is why this conversation is so important.

She also shares:

- How restricting your eating is not the solution.

- An assessment to help you determine if you are an emotional eater.

- Why 98% of diets fail.

- Changing your relationship with yourself and with food.

- Getting to the real root of emotional eating.

And so much more!

“As an emotional eater. the quickest way to gain weight is to try to lose the weight. One of the reasons why diets fail is because they take away your one coping mechanism and gives you no tools as a replacement.”

Anger can be good fuel when focused on a worthy cause, or used to direct our energy towards making positive change. But what I’m seeing lately, is anger towards being different, acting differently, believing in different things, behaving differently, or thinking differently. We can’t even have a different opinion lately without collective anger being directed towards us.

In this conversation I am sharing what my own experience about this has been, how feeling so angry resulted in taking a month long hiatus, how I have been redirecting my anger, and what the impact of constantly being angry can have on us mentally, emotionally, attitudinally, and physically. As well as how it makes us treat each other. 

This is not a stop being angry in 10 steps share. This is an open conversation where we explore what finding things to constantly be pissed off about means to us. Being okay that we might have more questions than answers right now. At the end, I share an anger self-assessment that can help you to contemplate and integrate this topic even deeper.

In this meaningful conversation, I sat down with Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Christine MacMillan.

If you didn’t grow up having conversations about pelvic heath, vaginal health, menstrual health, breast health, hormonal health, this conversation is for you. 

Christine and I both agree that there is nothing about any of these topics that are or should be embarrassing or cause women any shame. 

Women are unique, our bodies are unique and that is also true when it comes to our pelvic organs. 

Christine Shares: 

- What pelvic health means and why it matters. 

- What pelvic physiotherapy is and how you know when you need it. 

- What your pelvic organs are. 

- What pelvic floor conditions to watch out for. 

- The many misperceptions we grow up learning. 

Christine Says: “Normalizing disfunction in your body needs to become something of the past.”

In the intro, I share a personal self-assessment you can do to get a baseline of where you are physically, mentally, and emotionally.

After a little hiatus, I'm back with Season 3 and a solo podcast. In this episode I'm talking about my most recent experience of taking a month long hiatus from social media, from creating new content and from my company. I share what I have learned, how the pandemic impacted who I am, the way I want to do business and live my life. I also share what I was experiencing mentally and emotionally that led me to needing to take a break and how giving myself the support I needed showed me that who I am and what I do today is enough - no matter what I do. 

My intention with today's share is to give you hope. Especially if you are feeling confused, frustrated and hopeless. I want you to know, even if you don't trust it yet, that there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel.

If you cringe at just the idea of talking about money, this conversation with Money Coach, Virginia Baker Woolf is a great place to change your money story and feel safe talking about money and managing money.

We all have a relationship with money. We all have a money story. If money makes you feel anxious, or you don’t feel safe with money, you are not alone. Virginia talks about her own experience and generously shares ways on how we can begin to change our relationship with money and with each other.

Favourite Takeaways

“When you understand your unique relationship with money, you’ll be able to unlock your money magic and create financial abundance.”

“Women don’t give themselves enough credit for the resources that they carry internally.”

In this conversation, I'm joined by Ann Hince. Ann is sharing her experience with the therapeutic technique called EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique and how it helped her heal from trauma and PTSD. If you feel like your emotions have full control over your life right now, this conversation is for you. 

When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. When Ann discovered EFT, it finally helped her to release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - what she calls Insight, or inward-sight. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace. 

We talk about: 

- What EFT is and why it works. 

- How to step back and allowing ourselves to feel our feelings without our feelings controlling us. 

- She shares the importance of understanding the layers of feelings, including naming them, and where they are in your body.

- How our emotions and our entire body is a signal, and thinking about what signal we are passing on emotionally, for example, through social media before we even process our own emotions around it. 

- And so much more! 

Favourite takeaway: You don’t have to look for the positive when you are processing the negative emotion. Once you process the negative emotion and get to the healing of that, the positive emotions with just naturally come in because it is actually our truest state.
