  • "What Does Passion for Fitness Mean to You?" | With Coach James From F45
    Everyone meet James Hardin, or Coach James as I like to call him. James is a fitness coach at F45 Mayfair in Wilmington, N.C. F45 fitness training was born in Australia, and merges 3 separate leading-edge training styles into one 45-minute functional training class. I believe these workouts to be highly unique and incredibly addicting.
    This is why I wanted to host James on my show to pick his brain a bit about exactly how F45 works!
    Enjoy the show, and definitely go check F45 out for yourself! You can thank me later. ;) Also, make sure to follow @f45_training_mayfair on Instagram to see more of Coach James, and the classes in action!

  • "BLESSED TO BE ALIVE" | Megan Pearson's Inspirational Story Shared to Inspire The World

    Brains!!! Prepare to be ab(soul)utely blown away by Megan Pearson's touching story. Megan was in the hospital for COVID-19 and pneumonia when the doctors diagnosed her with acute respiratory failure. Megan's experience brought her through hell and back, but she said, "Not today satan!" Nothing, and I mean nothing can stop this girl from sharing her story if it means helping others. She vulnerably speaks about these intimate details of her life in hopes of inspiring anyone who is, or has been facing one of the hardest battles of their entire life.

    You can't help but fall in love with her adoring personality and award-winning smile as she reveals things many of us could never dream of. It can seem pretty absurd to wrap your mind around the fact that this gorgeous, healthy girl you all see today was indeed in a coma for two weeks and actually coded twice. Saying someone coded means they died briefly. Let that sink in for a moment.
    She gets to have this experience and cross "podcast" off of her bucket list because she didn't give up. She pushed through even when she questioned her own identity and was the unhealthiest she had ever felt and looked in her entire life. Megan is a true warrior. You can see the resilience beam in her eyes as she radiates love and light.
    She kept her faith so that she could turn her pain into purpose or "mess into message" as I like to say. And she did just that, shortly after being released from the hospital with starting her own charity and raising a whopping 27k for other patients in the ICU to have Alexa devices! You will hear why this meant so much to her in her story.

  • Living Life In Love With Taylor Keeping Smith

    In episode 18, I interview Taylor Keeping Smith the owner of Keeping It Glam and host of My Happy Place Podcast on all things love, life, marriage, and business. Taylor and her husband Julian are friends of mine, and I have always admired their relationship. Additionally, I admire their faith and relationship with God.

    I think it can be challenging to work with someone that you love whether it be a parent, sibling, or partner; so hearing the inside scoop on how they grab the bull by the horns and haven't hoped off the ride when things naturally get difficult from time to time is truly inspiring. Taylor has so much wisdom to bestow on the younger generation when it comes to being a female boss in love. I truly cannot wait to see where these dear friends of mine are in five years from now, because they are certainly making big waves and planting stellar seeds in the community daily!

  • It’s Ok To Not Be Ok | GUIDED MEDITATION Podcast for Positivity With Personal Story Shared
    “It’s ok to not be ok.” This is a quote that brings with it an immense amount of comfort, simultaneously allowing us to be human and embrace all of the emotions and experiences whether good or bad that make us human. If life were meant to be easy, I am convinced that it would have come with an instruction manual, but it didn’t. So it’s our job as humans to seek knowledge on a daily basis, in turn creating our own instruction manual on how to live happy and healthy. I believe in you, and I know that you believe in yourself because you are simply AWESOME! My hopes in sharing the real and raw texture of the not so pleasant experiences I have faced in my life is to inspire others with the belief that things do get better. To get the rainbow you must first deal with the rain as Dolly Parton once said. We all experience pain in our lives that can make things feel like one big mess. I encourage you to turn your mess into message and your pain into purpose! You are not alone. To watch the full video follow “bloomiebrained” on YouTube, and don’t forget to connect with my on Instagram! Enjoy the podcast. Xo Bloomie Brained. Song: A Parallel Breath by Jospeh Beg

  • Anthony's Experience in the Film Industry | How He Continues to Persevere Daily

    Everyone meet Anthony! I was instantly drawn to Anthony's calm nature and admired his dedication to his craft. His stories are all equally as exciting as they are inspiring. I think what intrigues me the very most is his capability to say no to the things he knows do not serve him physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. This can be immensely challenging for all of us at times, but it's vital to see the bigger picture. The bigger picture is, "is this relationship, substance, food, or material object going to propel me forward on my journey or pull me back?" Food for thought.  

     I hope that this episode inspires you to let go of something that is holding you back from becoming your highest self. You came into this world alone and one day you will leave this world alone; use the resources in between wisely.  

     Follow Anthony on IG if you enjoyed our conversation and would like to keep up with his interesting life! @anthonypl97

  • The Healing Powers of Hypnotherapy with Amber Law | My Personal Experience Shared

    On today's episode I have a very special guest, Amber Law from @innerguidancehypnosis and the owner of @healing_leavesnc in Wilmington, NC.   

    Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client achieve a trance-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestibility.  

    The American Psychological Association and American Medical Association have recognized hypnotherapy as a valid procedure since 1958, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recommended it as a treatment for chronic pain since 1995.

    I share intimate details of my own personal session with Amber, and the benefits that I have left with are truly profound. I feel more grounded on a daily basis. My heart has been able to able to heal wounds that have been open majority of my life. If you have the chance to treat yourself to a hypnotherapy session at Healing Leaves definitely go for it! If you're not in Wilmington, not to worry; they offer zoom sessions as well.  

     Enjoy the episode! Also available for streaming on Youtube

  • 25 Life Lessons Learned in 25 Years of Life

    Happy New Year everyone! I am tremendously excited to kick off 2023 with not one heartfelt message, but twenty-five of them. My Birthday is September 13th, so I started working on these about six months prior to my birthday. Initially I thought I would release this in honor of my birthday, but it wasn't finished. Being the perfectionist I am, I didn't intend on rushing this project. Now you see, this is a perfect example of everything being aligned because I couldn't think of a better time than now, in the new year, to release this episode. I hope that you enjoy, and are able to carry a piece of today's episode with you at all times in hopes of living to the fullest and turning your dreams into reality this year.  

    If you enjoy listening, maybe you will enjoy watching this episode as well.

  • Building Love That Lasts | With Bob and Alexa
    Alexa is a dear friend of mine, whom I love endlessly. Her knowledge surrounding holistic living and wellness is intriguing to say the least! She is someone who allows you to come as you are, sit with your feelings, and tap into your emotions far more than anyone else that I know. It is refreshing to be around her. I could truly write a book about Alexa. If you ever have the chance to do reiki with her, take a yoga class, or take one of her online courses you will be glad you did! She is an absolute Earth angel. So when she introduced me to Bob, her partner, I couldn’t believe it. They were a match made in heaven! Bob has a calming presence that relaxes you to your core. Probably why he’s so gifted at his guided meditations and motivational speaking! They are headed out to explore the world, so I will link there socials below if you would like to keep up with them. I hope that you enjoy this episode. They poured their hearts out on what they believe it takes to build a foundation for love that lasts. Listen in to gain insight as I like to host people that I myself have learned from! Enjoy, and don’t forget to stay Bloomie Brained 💜
