  • Ep 66: Pushing Past the Scary Stuff with Kariann Bowles
    This was such a fun episode.  My friend, Kariann, and I have bonded during the pandemic finding ourselves on Instagram and in Clubhouse together.  Thankful for her friendship.  We talk about preparing for new stages of motherhood, taking leaps when you're scared, and a healthy mindset where it comes to nutrition.  I love her spirit and I know you will, too!
    Kariann Bowles has had a passion for health & fitness for well over a decade. She's tried many of the fad diets over the yeas to maintain her own health. It wasn't until her 40s she realized the need to focus on nutrients, not just calories. In her own pursuit of optimal healthy and the desire to help others, she enrolled in health & nutrition school at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Now at 45 she is focusing her efforts on optimal hormone balance for her own self and that of her clients, to make the journey of peri-menopause to menopause as painless as possible. Kariann married her high school sweetheart, has 2 teenagers, 1 in college & 1 in high school and is ready to embrace the next stage of life.

  • Spinning Plates Meditates - #3: Think on these things

    "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil 4:8

    Do you ever have trouble capturing your thoughts?  Do you sometimes feel like it's jumbled and messy and hard to think about the things God calls us to?  This episode is for you.  I do this practice when I'm feeling anxious about my thoughts and need help in slowing down long enough to capture them.

    I hope this leaves you feeling settled and at peace.  I know it does me.

  • Spinning Plates Meditates - #2: Invite God in to mind, body, and soul

    Today's meditation you can do over and over whenever you need to be reminded of God's presence.  This episode invites Him in to mind, body and soul to help us feel equipped to face the day.  He is ever present, but do we stop and feel Him?  I encourage you to set time aside to do this.  I know after recording, I felt like I was calmer and at peace.

  • Ep 63: Spinning Plates Meditates #1- "Do it scared!"
    Well, the announcement and next stage of the podcast is here.  I'm just as shocked as you may be, but God has a way of continually surprising me.  This has been something I've felt Him nudging me to do for quite a while and, to be honest, didn't do it simply out of fear of looking silly.  Well, that's just not a good enough reason any more.  So, with that I present to you Spinning Plates Meditates, a spin off from Spinning Plates Podcast.  Meditation is something I've been able to use as a tool in my own life the past couple of years.  It's helped me calm anxiety, remain focused, feel connected to myself, be a better parent and wife, relief stress, and simply declutter my very busy brain.  It can, also, be overwhelming if you have a perception of it like I did for so long.  I was always afraid I was "doing it wrong" or "could never sit still that long".  Reality is, though, that you can't mess up meditation.  You can't even do it wrong.  It's creating a space for you throughout your day to just be and just breathe.  I want to show you how you can incorporate faith into meditation.  I want to lead you through some of the tools and exercises that I turn to when I'm feeling overwhelmed.  I want to help you find ways to feel connected safe that it's not weird.  I'm on the journey with you.  Look for episodes to be sprinkled throughout.  How often, yet to be determined.  But this is our start.  Ready or not, let's meditate.

    What do you do when there is a bump in the road? Or mountain or valley… Do you set up camp and live there? Or make it a pit stop, get rest, regroup and keep going!? The bumps are gonna come. It’s what you do with the bumps that makes all the difference!

  • Ep 61: Inviting God into the Journey with Wynter Moore
    My friend, Wynter, and I got into some real meat in this episode.  We talked about creating sustainable habits, taking baby steps, and incorporating our faith into our fitness journeys.  It was such a great chat and one that I feel super grateful to have been a part of.
    Wynter created She is Lifted Up to help women feel like they belong in the health and fitness space and to lift them up in the process.   She is passionate about cultivating connection through fitness and her mission is to empower women to do the things that their heart desires and face the fear of the unknown.   She hopes to take women from where she started on her fitness journey, in her bedroom with a pair of 5 lb dumbbells and a workout in DVD, to feeling confident and empowered with any piece of equipment at the gym!   Wynter is married to her high school sweetheart and has a 6 year old daughter. She loves coffee, wine and chocolate. She is competing in her first bodybuilding competition in April.  Let's cheer her on!
