Spinning Plates Podcast

Friend, it's a choice. I spent years living settled and complacent. I spent countless hours thinking I SHOULD do something. I felt like I could never change. I felt like my issues were unfixable. I felt like I could never be consistent. I would be frustrated or snappy, thinking it was the result of others actions that made me feel that way. Until the day I realized I get to choose. Truly choose. Despite circumstances or situations, I get to choose to take care of my mind, body, and soul. I get to choose what I fuel myself with. I get to choose to move. I get to choose how I react.

I didn't start out nailing it every day and I still don't nail it every day, but when it doesn't go the way I planned I do know I get to choose how I keep going. How I show myself and others grace in the process. How I show up!

Friend, it's a choice. It's up to you and only you to make it.

Listen to this episode, please. I took you guys on my evening walk with me, so forgive the audio, but I just couldn't wait to share my heart.

We all need a little help with planning. Am I right or am I right?! If you have followed me for even a millisecond you know that my heart is to stay organized and ready for whatever life may throw at me, but you also know that I don't have it all together. That's why I'm thankful for people like Jennifer in my life who share ideas and tasks to helps us stay on track and orgainzed.

I finally get to sit down with my friend, Daryl, and chat about all things healthy living. If you have listened to my early episodes you know that he's the one that encouraged me to start the pod in the first place and the rest, as they say, is history!

This episode is PACKED full of helpful tips if you're looking to get started or already in a wellness routine. We talked about so many great things I didn't even know what to call it. The overall theme though was how we make it work for us on a daily basis, how we find consistency, and how to make it sustainable...aka Daryl's refreshing fitness philosophy. I can't wait for you to hear this one. Enjoy!

Daryl is a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach and podcaster. He believes that lasting weight loss results come from following an eating and exercise plan based on your preferences, while focusing on consistency instead of perfection.

I had the best chat with one of my new friends, Katy Spratte Joyce. We talked about everything from how extroverts survive the pandemic life, creating balance, and sourdough starts gone wrong.

Have you ever been asked "What's your enneagram number?" Um, a million times. Recently, I spent time taking an official test and spending time with my long time friend and now coach, Freya Kennedy, to dig into what it all really means and how I can apply it to my life. To say that the last few weeks has been eye opening is an understatement. Learning how God made me unique and how He can use that uniqueness for His glory has been a beautiful journey opened up to me and I'm here for it. Also, 5 minutes with Freya and you'll be in love. She's a treasure to this world.

Freya Kennedy is a Transformationalist and Enneagram Advisor, who helps individuals, couples, and professional teams looking to deepen and expand their unique potential by understanding their internal motivations and learning how to move beyond them.  Before deciding to start her own business, Freya has been caring for people, creating beauty, and encouraging personal growth in a variety of ways. She has nannied, facilitated yearly art markets, hosted monthly discussions on thoughtful living, worked several jobs with an emphasis on guest experience and hospitality, and most recently led the hospitality team in the dining room at the experiential Inn at Langley, for seven years.   Freya enjoys time with her husband, two teenage sons, and dog.
