Suburban Warrior

Welcome back, Warriors! So, who’s hungry? Anyone? I am really excited for this episode of the Suburban Warrior Podcast because we are talking about something we all know and love...FOOD! My guest is Michele Di Pietro, an entrepreneur, chef, culinary consultant, food writer, cookbook author, blogger, and creator of Mangia With Michele. She was raised in an Italian-American family in southern New Jersey, where her culinary education began with a collection of relatives as teachers in a household where food and cooking were central, daily household activities.

Michele started her professional career as a Certified Public Accountant at a top New York City firm, but eventually found her true calling as she worked and traveled in Europe, experiencing some of the world’s finest cuisines. She left the financial world for the professional kitchen and, once fully immersed in the food industry, quickly discovered that her knowledge of numbers and CPA skills came in handy for recipe development and culinary project management.

Michele just released her first cookbook called SOUPified: Soups Inspired by Your Favorite Dishes, a whimsical and fun collection of soup recipes that were inspired by classic dishes that have been transformed into spoonable, bowl form, while still holding true to their core soul and spirit. The recipes are comfort food at its finest—hearty compilations of flavor, color, and texture, many of which are meals in and of themselves.

What’s up Warriors! Welcome back to the Suburban Warrior podcast. In this episode, we have another Suburban Warrior here sharing her story with us. Lori Ervin was a full-time teacher, living in Canada with her husband, three young boys, and a network marketing business. After being involved in a life-changing car accident, Lori realized she could no longer work the way she was used to. She left her teaching position and had to find a different way to continue to build her business. She knew she needed to find a way to stay connected with her customers and team so she took it all online and now helps other women do the same.

Lori is a well-known business and mindset coach, inspiring women to build a business alongside a life they love. Her mission is to empower women to be honest about what they want in life and then go out there and get it. Combining her background in business, marketing, and advertising, Lori is the kind of coach who becomes your biggest cheerleader while pushing you to dream bigger and see what is possible.

You can connect with Lori on her Instagram @thisislifewithlori, visit her website www.LoriErvin.com for more information on her courses and coaching business, and check out her podcast Level Up With Lori.

Welcome back to another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. I am so excited to have another amazing warrior sharing her story with us. Anita Meeks has spent the last 27 years as an expert in the Payment Processing Industry. She continues to work with business owners all over the country assisting them and tailoring a solution that best suits their needs with the acceptance of payments from their customers.  However, 4 ½ months ago she was unexpectedly diagnosed with Epilepsy, which has forever changed her life. After having to self-advocate for herself she has, in addition to her business, become an advocate and ambassador for the Epilepsy community. What makes Anita unique is that she is open, vulnerable, and speaks her truth as she is a patient herself. Most who speak of Epilepsy, are the caretakers and loved ones, versus those who live with it. She is passionate about speaking nationally on all that Epilepsy is and what it is not, with the hopes of minimizing the negative stigma behind Epilepsy.

Join Anita in her Fearlessly ALIVE Facebook group to be inspired by more stories of adversity and how people learned to overcome them. In this group, she gives hope to those who may feel stuck in their lives and let them know they are not alone.

Hello Suburban Warriors! In this episode of the Suburban Warrior Podcast, we bring back mystic and medium Michelle Young for part 2 of our conversation. We spoke in part 1 (episode 27) about deepening our relationship with spirit and tapping into our own intuition. If you missed it, I highly suggest going back and taking a listen.

Michelle believes we are all energy sensitive beings, yet we have to pay attention, ask the right questions, and even use the right words to communicate with spirit/the universe to paint our lives. Here in part 2, we dive deeper into learning more about energy healing modalities such as Reiki and Body Intuitive. It’s a fascinating discussion!

Resources and links mentioned in this episode:

• Michelle’s website www.LOVEONELOVE.com
• Connect with Michelle on Facebook or Instagram
• Anatomy of the Spirit, a book by Caroline Myss
• Deepak Chopra

We hope you enjoyed both conversations and remember to subscribe, rate, and review this episode. Warrior up & believe in YOU!

Hey Suburban Warriors, welcome to another episode! Back by popular demand, I am speaking with Michelle Young, modern-day mystic, medium psychic, and a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. You can go back to episode 5 in season 1 to listen to my first conversation with Michelle.

She has been practicing as a holistic energy practitioner for over eight years. She is currently in the BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner Program with esteemed doctors who have dedicated their lives to creating new alternatives in healthcare. She is a Reiki Master/Teacher, certified in CFT, and she channels messages daily in the form of poems.
