The Embodiment of Soul Care Podcast

Grab your beverage of choice and get ready to feel deeply INSPIRED on our latest podcast! We are delighted to continue our SPECIAL GUEST series with our dear friend Brad Ludden, the driving force behind the non-profit organization he founded 20 years ago that continues to be a recognized leader in outdoor experiential programming: First Descents.

First Descents provides life-changing, outdoor adventures for young adults impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions. Through outdoor adventures, skills development, and local adventure communities, First Descents improves the long-term survivorship -- as well as the overall emotional, mental and physical well-being -- of these brave and inspirational young adults.

The participants in their programs experience free outdoor adventure programs that empower them to climb, paddle, and surf beyond their diagnosis, reclaim their lives, and connect with others doing the same. 

Brad dives into all this and more in our touching conversation -- and he also addresses the pivot the organization made in 2020 during the pandemic to serve/help the Front-Line Workers and First Responders who worked tirelessly for the common good during this time. Thank you Brad and FD for all you do and contribute everyday to those lucky enough to know and work with you!

Grab your beverage of choice and get ready to expand your MINDSET on our latest podcast! We are delighted to continue our SPECIAL GUEST series with our dear friend Taylor Montey, Founder of Mindset Reps based in Fort Collins, Colorado. 

Mindset Reps is a unique and innovative program that specializes in the combination of exercise and psychotherapy to bring about change and build self confidence. Research has shown that exercise increases mood, builds confidence, self-efficacy and conquers fears and negative beliefs. Group fitness classes help to promote bonding through shared group experience and create an opportunity for risk-taking in a safe environment.

Taylor designed fitness-based therapy after coaching teens and recognizing that they were more willing to open up after sharing a workout together. Recognizing how fitness had benefited her own life, combined with the researched mental and physical benefits of exercise, Taylor wanted to create a place where people could go to treat the whole person.

Let's dive right in! Energies are intense right now in the USA (and around the world) with the pending 2020 Presidential Election results, the ongoing COVID-19 situation, and a general sense of division and uncertainty pervading the current fabric of our societies.

So tune in for this timely podcast that's all about reminding each of us of our internal power to choose our own personal VIBRATION, in each and every moment. Are you choosing expansive and high vibrations as the guiding force in your life and your impact on others, or are you allowing yourself to dwell in negative vibrations that result in giving your power and peace of mind away to what's outside of you? The power to choose -- and to embrace "what's so" -- is fully within YOU.

The podcast begins at the 1:40 mark with a 6-minute centering meditation that reminds us to connect with the Light of our Soul by being present in the moment and infusing our energetic field with the golden, healing light of the Divine. Allow this to be a balm for your soul and a gift to your heart.

Visiting Hours in Heaven are OPEN! We are delighted to continue our SPECIAL GUEST series with our dear friend and extraordinary medium: JJ Smith.   

People often long for feeling a deeper sense of connection to loved ones that have "crossed over". Over the years -- since she began truly nurturing her natural gift for mediumship -- JJ has delivered countless messages of love and hope from those who have crossed over to their loved ones still on this earth plane. The overall theme of our podcast focuses on the importance of HIGH VIBRATIONS (on Earth and in Heaven), as well as the opportunity we all have to live our lives with greater purpose and a deeper experience of Love and Light... everyday.  

In our conversation, we dive into the bigger questions with JJ as our guide: Are those who have crossed over at peace on the Other Side? How do we connect more deeply with our loved ones who have crossed over? Should I fear crossing over? And more!

Tune in for our most recent podcast that's all about framing a reboot on the widely-accepted line of thinking in spiritual circles that "thoughts become things", and how we can breathe new life into this idea in a way that empowers us rather than frustrates us. 

We also weave in a discussion on the mind-bending idea that "the Universe always say yes" is the source of what we create, and how we can harness the power of our Spirit to consciously craft the meaning we bring to our lives as Creators, everyday.  

Important Note: At the 48:00 mark, we give an intro for the SPECIAL GUEST who will be on our upcoming podcast. We are so excited to have her on! The topic will be deep and juicy and oh so fun. Tune in to find out who it is and be sure to look for Podcast #17 when it comes out next week!

Let's dive right in... Tune in for our most recent podcast that's all about SELF-LOVE!
