Sugar for Your Lemonade

Are you a survivor? Is that WHO you are? Is it how you identify?

If you said yes you are not alone!! We both did too, for a long time....until very recently actually. So we thought we'd share our recent pearls of wisdom of what we've done, how we recognize the loops we were stuck in and what we do when we find ourselves in the same situations so we can GTFO way faster! Join us as we dive into going from surviving to thriving! Mel contact link: https://linktr.ee/mel_connects_the_dots AshVal contact link: https://linktr.ee/theashval

What does it mean to talk to your body? Sounds great to say out loud but what does that mean? What does it look like? How do you know what the body is answering, if it even is answering?! I (AshVal) will take you through HOW to communicate with your body, how to ask a question and get an answer in real time. How to ask your body long answer questions, and how to look for those answers because they tend to be a little less clear. I would love love looooooove for you to share with us what it's like when you try this work. What answers is your body giving you, are you surprised at what your body is communicating to you? How does it feel to be able to talk to your body? Much love, AshVal Booking Link: https://linktr.ee/theashval

As we approach a year in lockdown we finally talk about the elephant in the room.....COVID, and how it's affected our day to day. We talk about how the added stress of "should's" and "supposed to's" can have a huge negative impact on your personal health in everyday circumstances nevermind a global pandemic.  

We discuss what it means to take time and space to be present in the moment and why that's so important when it comes to you making boundaries for yourself. 

We also chat about how to you keep it (life) together and flowing when you feel pulled in a hundred directions with a hundred restrictions  

And we talk about parrots and dogs.....because somehow it fit ;P  

Join us as we dish out our pro-tips and get distracted in all the best ways

In this episode we dive into the nerd brain of AshVal. She's had an obsession with the body, how it functions, how it's influenced by people, places and things and questioning "why am I the way I am"? Why do things hurt and never seem to heal? And so much more for over a decade. After years of digging, emotions (current and stored) become the unavoidable common denominator, much to the chagrin of us both. It sounds hippy woo woo and it took us both a while to come to terms with it and guess what!!! WE DON'T CARE ANYMORE!  

We dig into the common aches and pain spots we've seen with our clients and in life and what the potential emotional root could be so if you're experiencing or have experienced similar you can maybe consider a different angle.  

Is it all in your head? Can you really just heal yourself? Isn't it "just a placebo"? Maybe, maybe not....the real question is what do you have to lose?  

The body is always communicating with you..... are you listening? 

** disclaimer we are NOT here to sway you away from traditional medicine and body work, we're here to show a new perspective that you might not have considered

What is fear?! Really...what is it? Why does it take over so easy and what can we do to stop it? This week is AshVal's inaugural solo episode she takes you into the concept of fear and how to address it in real life. Is fear really all in the head?  

Ask yourself, what are you afraid of?  

Are you afraid of it or are you used to feeling like you're supposed to be afraid? Who are you if you don't have fear?  

So many questions, and there's a lot to ponder in this episode.  So snuggle up in your comfy couch or chair, grab a pen and paper and tune in. Out on a walk, that's great, have your pen and paper ready for when you get in. 

Want more?! Leave a comment on your big take away or if there are other topics you'd like to be discussed.

This week we talk about the actual action steps in "Dreaming Big" and "Manifesting".  They're great concepts and we read all about it but what does it mean?!?! How do you actually do it!? We discuss how to start and why you might be subconsciously holding yourself back from living your best friggen life!! (YES we are fully aware of how cliche that sounds). Why does intention matter, why do details matter, how do you be specific and broad in what you ask at the same time? We cover all this and more! 

This is definitely one of our fav episodes to date! We can't wait to share it with you!!Join us!

A few of you have noticed that Mel has an accent so where is she from? How did she end up in Alberta and what was it like to make such a big move? 

I (AshVal) do a little interview to shed some light on these questions and more so you have a better idea where this little french wonder came from and how she came to grace us with her awesomeness. AND I even learned a few things which was pretty cool!

So join us as we chat with Mel about her big move and everything that comes with it speaking a different language.  If you've got any questions you want Mel to answer, reach out! DM us on Instagram or leave a comment on your fav app to listen in on the podcast. 

Much love, 

AshVal and Mel

Join us as we review a plot twist of a year! We talk about our biggest and deepest lessons of the year, ultimately succumbing to the fact that life is one big cliche **insert face palm.

We also chat a bit about money again, it. was one of our most talked about episodes with all you lovely listeners!! We discuss our little tips and tricks, and it's funny how the two of us are same same but different.

We look forward to wrapping the year up with you and CANNOT WAIT to grow with you even more next year!!

Much love
