You cannot create anything you want from life if you cannot see it as a possibility. For your dreams to manifest into reality, you must have a distinct vision to help you navigate through life.

When going through a difficult time in your life, whether it be a divorce, the passing of a loved one, a diagnosis, the loss of a job, or the divine storm, it can be somewhat challenging to think that a better life for yourself can be possible.

Tracy Gromen is a Self Mastery Coach and Healer. She's a happily married mom of 3 boys and in this episode, we were originally going to talk about addressing anxiety but as our conversation unfolded prior to recording it became clear that we needed to share what she had been through in her personal life with her family and in-laws.

Tracy shares how before the holidays she decided not to participate in the tension-filled fake smiling Christmas celebration with her in-laws. She has amazing energy and conviction about what she'll allow in her life and what she will not. It's taken her years to get here but she still had to take a scary leap into a confrontation.

She did the tough work that most of us only dream of doing. She found a way to assert herself with love, honesty, and courage to ask her in-laws to consider working toward making their interaction more authentic and open-hearted and leave the gossip and manipulation behind.

• The family has hard conversations - they don't just sweep things under the carpet.
• Standing in sovereignty - what does this mean to you?
• How Tracy recovered from an exhausted burnout and relied on intuition to move forward in her personal life and business
• Strengthening her partnership with her husband
• How to make our way to a breakthrough and leave martydom behind through self-awareness
• How she and her son got off her $400 medications for anxiety
• How her husband supported her efforts to get well by taking care of herself, listening to her intuitive voice.
• How she forgave people and circumstances in her life that held massive amounts of abuse.
• Learning to say, "No." as Captain Dependable.
• Getting to a place to feeling safe and stopping outside validation.
• Admitting she took abuse from her childhood and it became overprotective helicopter parenting.
• Looking back at her past and learning how not to repeat it.
• Raising kids who set boundaries, have empathy, and are tuned in.
• EFT for "on the fly emotional release" ...instead of chocolate. :-)

Massive support for women on the self-awareness journey. Nutrition, virtual fitness, mindset coaching.

The title for this podcast is out there, I know! But for a long time, I've been sensitive to the moon and lunar events but never gave it too much thought until the last few years. I joke with my daughters that I'm Luney Tunes - my spin on being tuned into the lunar changes.

I planned to have a regular episode but the way that this week unfolded with bizarre events and emotional upheaval among the friends I know, I felt called to share some of this for those of you experiencing deep emotional heaviness, headaches, exhaustion, sleeplessness, rashes, and questioning things on a level you may never have before.

The pattern I'm seeing in my friends and withing my spiritual circle is profound. I'm grateful that I have a way to explain what I'm feeling and what they're going through. One of my friends who's tuned in but not in this circle happened upon a youTube video that touched on this and helped her feel better about all of it.

I don't typically push my stuff on friends, I prefer them to find it on their own. We may discuss things at a surface level but I don't use language that might confuse them or make them skeptical and there's a lot of lingo that's sort of bizarre if you're new to it. I get that it can be offputting and alienating.

That said, I think it's worth sharing at a higher surface level an explanation of some of what you may be going through with the recent Wolf Moon and the upcoming Blood Moon as they truly do impact our physiology and our spirit.

So, here's late night, no frills, unedited episode with just me sharing some of what's transpired this week. Maybe you can relate. My hope is that this reaches you and offers a bit of reassurance if you've been feeling out of it or just plain off and can't pinpoint why.

In this solo episode, Steph shares the struggle of listening to and honoring our inner voice. The confusion that can arise when we want to do what the voice is telling us to do but we're used to checking in with family, friends, a spouse, co-workers.

She discusses our early upbringing and how that conditions us to relate to others and make decisions, seek approval, and question ourselves in spite of a deep conviction. How can we shift away from that to live in integrity and put our desires first instead of last? How can we do so without suffering the guilt-mongering from family and all the people we normally check in with?

This is the beginning of a series of interview with guests who learned to listen to their intuition, practiced it, grew it, and created amazing circumstances that led to a better, happier, more abundant life.

Brenda Adelman returns with the second in her 2-part series. In part-1 we learned the unthinkable; her father killed Brenda's mother, and then he quickly moved in with and married her mother's sister.

Most of us would be paralyzed and curled in fetal position unsure of what to do after something so life-altering. It shook Brenda to her core and impacted her profoundly, but she came out of the darkness when she dared to share her story publicly.

In this episode, Brenda details how she was able to share her story, what she'd do differently, and what happened as a result of her finding the courage to do so.

If something BIG or profoundly transformational has happened to you and you've thought of sharing your story, she has tips about how to get started.

As she says, "There are skills to learn, rewrites to be done. It's not so sexy." But it can make a difference in the way the story impacts audiences and how YOU feel good about sharing it. She discusses how to gauge feelings to know whether you're ready to share or not or to write as a form of cathartic healing.

It's been a doozy of a year for many of us. And now we're supposed to dust ourselves off and create shiny new goals for 2019 right? Ugh.

Everywhere we look it's about goal planning for the year and I think it's enough to send many of us running for the couch hiding under a blanket or finding other ways to avoid and tune out. If that's you or if you just want an alternate way to get what you want this year, check it out. Here I share how I broke out the paper and wrote down what I wanted to feel and see in the year ahead for 2018 and even created a vision board. These were not goals, they were dreams and ideas of things I want to enter my life.  Tune in to hear how that turned out for me and what I'm doing for 2019. Hint: it's mostly surprisingly GOOD. So definitely check it out and please share with friends or anyone you know who needs a little inspiration or is feeling stuck right now.

How to Forgive the Impossible with Brenda Adelman

Brenda Adelman came by the title "The Queen of Forgiveness" under tragic circumstances. The father she adored killed her mother and then later...married her aunt. You read that right. Not only did her kill her mother but he married her sister.

I can't fathom it. The pain, sorrow, and confusion must have been immense. Yet somehow, after some time, Brenda was able to forgive her father and move forward.

She shares all that she went through to be able to accept what happened and honestly feel forgiveness in her heart. If you're feeling heavy and dragged down from someone who wronged you, please listen to this episode.

Note: This podcast is part 1 of a 2 part series. Stay tuned for part 2 to learn how to tell your story to heal and to help others.
