We teach our children how to be part of a community by how we build our family community. Tune in to hear about where our family traveled and why (hint hint, it has to do with showing up), plus four phrases to use when your children are competing or performing. Listen to the end for a beautiful bonus.

This week I'm reviewing Change Your Questions, Change Your Life by Marilee Adams and The Law of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson.  

Both of these have the power to be absolute game changers, and I definitely recommend them. 

In summary, I was reminded of the power of refraining from judgement, and instead becoming an open listener and asking good questions. This leads us to stronger relationships and better collaborative problem solving. 

I also felt encouraged to trust in divine help, with a personal increase in both trust and hope, which is exactly what I needed.

God/the universe/whatever name you want to use to refer to our higher power is working for our highest good. Let's partner with that.

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. In this minisode, I'm talking about why I love Valentine's Day, and how learning to love ourselves not only brings us greater peace and confidence, but it's actually at the heart of building strong and healthy communities.

Here's that quote about love from Brené Brown that I mentioned:

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honour the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get, it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal and the withholding of affection damages the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare”.

You're in for a treat!! We're diving deep into menopause with Mary Lee, the host of All Things Menopausal. Learn more about what to expect, how to handle it, and how to make sure you aren't doing "the change" alone.

About Mary:

Mary is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces serving more than  24 years. 
Since retiring from service, and as a PR practitioner Mary has  worked in numerous industries, including healthcare, education, aviation, government, mining, bio innovation, and life sciences. 

She has an insatiable appetite for knowledge, especially in health and wellness. In fact, Mary has pursued fitness and wellness as a side hustle for close to 30 years. In this field, she was been more exposed to woman experiencing the same issue - peri menopause. The story is always the same, weight gain, sleeplessness, brain fog, hot flashes, and issues with digestion. It came to her that this is an area that sadly lacks information and support and that more resources are needed. 

Motivated by her own negative encounter with the misogynistic views and lack of knowledge and empathy for women's health issues, Mary has made it her mission to debunk the misunderstanding and mistruths about hormonal health. 

Mary haphazardly came across the Menopause Doula certification course and promptly enrolled with Doula Training based in Toronto, Canada. Since completing the program Mary has continued in her learning journey with numerous other qualifications including Ayurveda Principles,  Menopause 2.0 with Dr. Stacy Sims, Brain Health for Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely, Women’s Health Coaching Certification through Girls Gone Strong, and Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury through the Love Your Brain Foundation. 

Mary  is the owner of Emme Elle Coaching and host of her second podcast All Things Menopausal a podcast that  features an array of guest experts in the field of menopausal health -  from the physical and mental to the emotional and spiritual.

I forgive myself for holding undeserved blame.

I let go of negative energy and thoughts.  

I replace negative self talk with the positive affirmations I deserve.

I’m filled with healing energy.

I know I cannot change the past, but I have the power to create the future I want.

She's bright, articulate, and a powerhouse for good.

She can work 1:1 and is developing a group program for camaraderie and accountability.

You can connect with Whitney at:

@wd_doherty on Insta
website coming in 2024
