Habits we reliably overdo but don't realize it's affecting our lives because, let's admit it, everyone is doing it.

This episode looks at the what, why, how, and fall out of mindless addiction and what we can do to remedy the behaviour before it's too late.

Spirituality is a deep connection with self and the world around us. Living life through the lens of spirituality changes the experience regardless of whether it is personal or professional. When we learn how to infuse our work/career/job/business with our spiritual beliefs the intention, direction, depth, and connection changes. We no longer view work as a money making machine but instead as a place to create meaning WHILE making money. I hope you enjoy this episode and continue to like, share and follow.

Author and personal trainer Rachel Lavin shares her story about her rollercoaster relationship with her body. How it let her down. How it didn't respond the way it's 'supposed' to. How it's supposed to look when you are in the fitness industry. How our mind creates the relationship and how we can change the narrative.

Rachel has written a book called the Doughnut Diaries which is available on Amazon. And she wrote it to let other people know they are not alone on their journey of learning to love the body they were gifted with.

One of the most common fears people have is speaking on a stage in front of people. Well, Tamara Schoon has taken that fear and turbo charged it - she overcame fear to do stand up comedy! From a very young age she learned from her father to be quiet and not be silly and this created the fear of being seen and the fear of being judged. Although she grew up to be fearless by joining the army, travelling abroad, auditioning for America's Got Talent, taking an improv course in another language, her fear of being seen and judged remained. So - what better way to overcome it than by getting up on a stage in front of a bunch of people and talk about your sex life! Tamara's passion now is to inspire others to do the thing that scares you the most. To make your secret dream a reality.  I hope you enjoy her story and I hope it inspires you to face your fears to create the life you desire.

Shampaigne Graves is unique, starting with her name. As a child she she was spoiled by her father with love, attention, and a lot of 'nice things' and from a young age, she wanted to be an artist. What her father taught her was she would never be able to provide herself with a nice life full of beautiful things as an artist, so she'd better pick a more practical road. So she parked her dream of being an artist and went to school to get a degree in a subject that she didn't feel aligned with. She chose to step away from that degree and with only a few $$'s she embarked on an entirely different career path that had her feeling inadequate, not good enough, and she struggled with imposter syndrome BUT she didn't let it stop her. Today she has a thriving business and she shares that facing her fears allowed her to be able to 'prove herself wrong every time' and, that it's okay to be unique.  I hope you enjoy her story and I hope it inspires you to face your fears to create the life you desire. 

Although Mai Kai is only 25 years old, she has the wise, old soul of someone who has lived for a very long time. She shares her story of being raised in the Hmong tradition which includes being groomed to people please. Her culture and tradition are one of male dominance, parental dominance, silence, and submission. As she grew up she learned to silence her intuition, to not trust her own thoughts, and to fear any form of external validation. It wasn't until she had the opportunity to travel abroad that she learned to take the 'mask off' and leave it off. Although her new way of being has caused friction with her family relationships she has learned to say 'NO' and to set responsible and healthy boundaries. When I asked one word that described herself - she used the word BRAVE and I would highly agree. I hope you enjoy her story and I hope it inspires you to face your fears to create the life you desire.
