SoulFull Wellness

We’re so excited to talk, today, about the effects of what we consume and what the choices about what we let in on a daily basis have on how we feel. We want to start by giving idea credit to listener El, who DMed us suggesting an episode about “how what you consume affects your wellness: food, opinions, exercise, ideas”.

Thank, you, El, for reaching out and for the great topic suggestion!

This week we’re exploring the old adage “you are what you eat” through a holistic lens. We’re going to discover new ways to improve wellness from not only a nutritional focus, but also upgrade our mental and emotional wellness as we bring awareness to the many avenues of consumption.

Did you know that showing gratitude is actually a tool you can use to reconnect with lost joy?

Research shows that acts of kindness and gratitude positively impact our well-being. In scientific studies, people who practice gratitude exhibit lower levels of stress and depression, cope better with adversity, and sleep better. Gratitude has been shown to increase self-esteem, empathy and compassion, and even improve mood. It can decrease blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol, which directly impacts stress levels. Physiologically, gratitude can positively change your brain. (You read that right!)

Practicing gratitude boosts serotonin and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters in the brain that give you feelings of satisfaction and well-being, and cause the pleasure/reward centers in your brain to light up. 

In today’s episode we’re looking at gratitude with a new lens. We chat about what gratitude is, is not, and how to practice it in new ways so you can start experiencing all these amazing health benefits. 

Need one more reason to listen? November is National Gratitude Month. So what are you waiting for? Listen now.

This week we’re talking about a topic that’s deeply personal and impactful in both of our lives, something we’ve never discussed on the pod before. 

This is going to be a little challenging for us to discuss so publicly, but we know how important it is to real and raw and honest with you, so today we’re taking this Soulfull relationship to the next level by sharing some deeply personal stuff with you.

This episode definitely feels different. If you’re coming to SFOW for the first time, maybe go listen to literally any other episode first. While we’re deeply proud of this week’s content, it’s just not what you’ve come to expect. So, new listeners, you might not get an accurate read on the Soulfull Society, if this is the only episode you hear.

To everyone else, welcome to the inner circle!

Fall is a time in the wellness space when you’ll hear the term “grounded” a lot. But how can we actually enact that? How do we get grounded? And what’s the wellness benefit?

This week we’re talking about getting grounded to help us stay present in the moment we’re living. Yes, the industry term for this is mindfulness, but really what it means is just paying attention to what you’re doing.

The change of season is the perfect opportunity for us to slow down, take inventory of our life, take a breath, reconnect with our vision and reassess our habits.

In this episode we chat about what it may feel like when you’re not grounded… feeling flighty, burnout, going through the motions, moving through the day too quickly, not stopping to smell the roses, and just be.

We also discuss:

• Being human beings, not human doings
• Why we mentally check out
• Operating on autopilot
• Mindfulness
• Grounding
• The healing power of nature

Soul Full of Wellness embraces living from the soul, your spirit, how to stay lovingly connected to your true self - learning tools from certified health & wellness coaches to help you successfully navigate the ups and downs of life. Kit & Kaelynn bring something new: a blend of Millennial & Gen X perspectives to create a unique listening experience that motivates you to go after the life you want.

Today’s episode is all about how to create the life you desire through bravery, progress and living in balanced im-perfection, by defining wellness for YOU so you know what success looks like, feels like, and how to achieve it!

We’re imperfect people living in an imperfect world. Does this doom us?

No, it’s a reality that’s also a gift because it conditions us to look inward for answers and to trust ourselves.

Wellness is bespoke, customizable, PERSONAL, made for you, by you.

In this episode we talk about:

• Listening to the whispers of your soul 
• Action as the antidote to fear
• Striving for balance
• Bravery over perfection
• Knowing your why
• How to make ongoing, sustainable changes vs. dramatic/temporary changes
• Your lifestyle prescription - designed by you for you, for your best interest
• What serves you and helps you achieve your wellness goals
• Finding the middle ground (sustainable) 
• There is no quick fix that actually works long-term.
• Accepting: polarity, contrast, imperfection, that the ideal changes over time
• Success comes from flexibility in an imperfect world
• Releasing judgment (re-framing “mistake” or “cheat day”)

What wellness isn’t:

• Quick fixes
• Temporary changes
• One size fits all
• Copying someone else
• Rigid planning
• Seeking perfection
• All or nothing mentality - black or white thinking

The most visible parts of wellness aren’t the most important. There is no single most important part of your wellness. ALL parts matter.

COACHING TIP: Structure your personal definition of wellness, including what success will look like for each of the areas. For more details, go to the “Defining Wellness” and “Why Wellness is Multidimensional” blogs on the blog page of our website at SoulFullofWellness.com

Success is about balance, so creating your really specific, personal criteria for success, you’ll highlight what’s important to YOU and this will reveal your path!

If you haven’t yet rated & reviewed Soul Full of Wellness, we’d love to have you help us out by tapping that 5th star and providing a few words of feedback.

This week we’re diving into how you can manage tough emotions and self-regulate by building self-compassion.

We start with signs you might be too hard on yourself and go into tips for what to do about it.

In this conversation, learn how to recognize your self critic; how to break the cycle of unhelpful, negative thought patterns; and what strategies and behaviors will let you live more happily.

Build inner peace by being your own friend!

Brené Brown tells us that the opposite of belonging is fitting in. True belonging never asks us to betray ourselves. In today’s episode, Kit & Kae unpack this concept of authenticity with regard to personal identity. Personal authenticity is often defined as being true and honest with oneself and others, having a credibility in one's words and behavior, and an absence of pretense. Its meaning is then often clarified by contrasting it to inauthenticity, like comparing light to darkness. Okay, but what does it even mean to be authentically you? How does this work, to show up as your most authentic self? How can you stay true to your authentic self, in all situations? How do you remain your most authentic self no matter what? Think of all the different yous that all make up the whole you, including: professional you at work daughter/son or mom/dad you at home fun you for a night on the town artistic you during self-selected activity relaxation time And don’t forget about situational appropriateness. There’s a LOT happening here! Listen now as Kit & Kae unlock the secret to living in perfect alignment. Thanks for listening!

JOY… what is life without it? In today’s episode we’re talking about hobbies and why it’s important that you have something in your life that’s just for you. In our outcome-driven world, your wellness benefits from having something that’s all about the process.

We’ll start off by discussing why having a hobby is important to your wellness, talk about how to connect with a hobby you love, and then we’ll wrap up with a fun little quiz that we wrote just for you, to help you determine if what you enjoy doing qualifies as your hobby or not.

Progress over perfection, consistency over perfection, balance over perfection. When it comes to finding joy in your life it truly is all about the journey, not the destination - the process, not the product.

What makes you happy? What do you want more of, in your life? Let’s explore!
