I’m sharing a part of my life that has always been a source of pain and has taken up way too much of my energy. And I’m ready to be done.

It all came to the surface recently as I thought about some things I’d reading in the book, WANT YOUR SELF by upcoming podcast guest, author Katie Horwitch) and after going to a group yoga class. I knew I’d been spending too much mental energy on this but I think I’ve finally hit my breaking point with it.

Take a listen to what I’m letting go of once and for all. I’m ready to start WANTing myself. Maybe you are, too.

Avarie’s back on the podcast!

This time we talk about what the last year has done for her personally and professionally and why even though it was one of the toughest years of her life has also been her best.

Avarie is currently a sports reporter and social media strategist for Hurrdat Sports/Media in Omaha, Nebraska where she covers Husker football, a variety of Omaha sports like hockey and basketball, College World Series baseball, and soon to be the first pro-volleyball team in Nebraska, the Omaha Supernovas.

I’m constantly amazed at all that she’s done in her short 24 years of life but I have a feeling this is just the beginning for her. I can’t wait for you to listen to our conversation and if you are wanting a bit more, head over to my YouTube channel to watch the conversation.

Today I’m sharing my recent experience with my blood test results I received for my most recent bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. I share where I started on this road and where I ended up, which was very different from the advice I had been getting from the practitioners I was seeing.

I share my concerning rise in blood glucose levels over the recent years and why a keto-centric diet was never the answer. At least for me.

What I also have come to realize is that the blood work never lies.

From swimming competitively at a young age, to battling an autoimmune disease, and moving to a new city with a big dream in her heart, my guest, Sydney has already accomplished so much at such a young age.

Sydney is currently an MLB and NFL photographer and she's only 24 years old!

In this episode, she shares her story of how she got into photography in the first place, how her illness landed her at the college she was truly meant to be, and how her friends helped launch her into a career she had never dreamed of for herself.

AND we talk about the day Taylor Swift came to town (the first time in Chiefs red) and how Sydney ended up up close and sort of personal. ;)

Her story will inspire you to say yes to more things and to follow what lights you up inside because you never know where it may lead!

My guest, Laura Munson, has carved out a life for herself in Montana but she happily shares it with dozens of writing retreat attendees each year.

Laura is a bestselling author and novelist as well as essayist, having one of them gone viral in the Modern Love column of the New York Times, which she still receives emails about to this day!

She is the definition of an AWEd woman. She's awake to the beauty and wonder of nature all around her; she lives well surrounded by family and friends where she belongs to no one but herself, and she’s empowered as someone who found a solution to a problem which is still providing for her in so many ways years later.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did and maybe you’ll see yourself at one of her writing retreats someday!

SHOW NOTES:

Her published books:

- This Is Not The Story You Think It Is (Memoir)

- Willa’s Grove (Fiction)

When I tell you these two are going to change the world, I’m not even close to exaggerating.

I’m so happy to bring this conversation to you today to share what Sarah and Kayla are doing in the NA beverage space. They have created a business that is providing a solution to a problem not only for themselves but also for others who are living sober, sober-curious, or want to drink more mindfully.

They are the duo behind SipSteady which is a first-of-its-kind marketing/pr and events agency dedicated exclusively to the N/A beverage industry.

Move over, NA beers. There are way more choices these days for a celebratory cocktail that brings all the good (i.e. healthy) vibes with none of the hangover and Sarah and Kayla are determined to bring them to store shelves, bars, and entertainment venues near you very, very soon!
