What happens if everything you knew disappeared? Your marriage, your home, your career and your sense of self? How do you pick yourself up again and keep going? Valentina from Enamor Kitchen knows all about this: from moving to Germany from Columbia to be with the one she loved, to going through a divorce, to just starting up her food business to then have covid mess it up. But Valentina did not give up, she kept going and through what felt like hitting rock bottom, she picked herself up and kept running. Through therapy, self-love, acceptance and determination, Valentina is now finally in a place she calls home. Even though we are all works in progress, it feels great to say, you know what I'm ok.

Join me this week as I chat with Valentina about her trials, her successes and her new found acceptance.

Valentina is the owner and chef of Enamor Kitchen, the best latin food around!

We've all heard of the kid that was bullied in school or we saw it first hand. Did we do anything about it, have you thought about how the bullying might affect this kid and what trauma it can cause it their life. Why do kids bullying and how does one heal from bullying?

This week I chat with Jenny Dalton, author of Of Butterflies and Bullies and founder of The Better Friends Club. We talk about her experience with bullying as a kid and how she's healed from this and her journey to truly excepting herself for who she is. We talk about how she wants to help women form better friendships and build a better community for themselves.

Have you thought about how you spend your time and energy? Do you have issues setting boundaries or allow yourself to get caught up in things that don't matter, instead of moving forward and focusing in on what truly does?
How many of us have been condition to just be busy, always busy, look busy, but when it actually comes to productivity nothing is happening?
This week I chat with Verena from Seipp Coaching about how important it is to understand where we are spending our time, understanding our thought process and allowing ourselves to work in a way that works for us and not what society tells us is right.
Time management is very important, but also where we spend our energy is just as important.
Verena guides us through ways to help acknowledge our thought patterns, reminds us to be kind to ourselves on our individual journeys and to take a moment every day to breath and be present.

When it comes to self-care, there are so many ways to do this: meditation, yoga, exercise, therapy, but have you ever considered Reiki? 
I had heard of it before but was a bit unsure whether or not I was up for trying it, then forgot about it, but as the universe does, it brought it back to me. Luckily, I found Clare from Reiki Blossom and viola my I had begun my reiki journey. I have seen amazing results since I've started.
This week I chat to Clare about her journey to reiki, what reiki is, the benefits of reiki and how she incorporates crystals to help along with her healing.
It's a wonderful episode.

Check out my write-up about my reiki experience here.

“Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to finally find yourself.” For Kelly Bond this was the case. After finding out she was having blood clots in her lungs and legs while pregnant, Kelly had to start digging deep within for strength for herself and for her small child. Having a child in general without any complications is difficult enough but having a life threatening condition takes being a brand new mom to a whole new level. 

This week I chat with Kelly Bond about her journey from being a pro-athlete, to finding out about her health condition to becoming a new mom to hitting rock bottom to where she is now. Kelly is the head of marketing for Inspired Ventures, an instructor at Bear Grylls Survival Academy, Chief Happiness Officer for the World Happiness Project, an Adventure Catalyst for Three Beacons and an ambassador for The Salty Club. Kelly’s mission is to encourage women to find their strength through adventure and the outdoors. She wants women to find their power within themselves, to find their joy in the everyday and to love their life fully. 

Please join me in this beautiful beautiful conversation with Kelly .

Life is a journey. For some of us our inner journey starts later in life. Something happens in our life that forces us on our own journey, on our path to the life we’re meant to live. How many of you have lived your life according to our people’s expectations of you? How many of you were dying inside, depressed, unwell physically until you started to take back control of your life? Taking back your power, making decisions based on what you want and not what other people want is the best gift you can give yourself. Now this doesn’t mean it’s easy or there isn’t uber amounts of fear to overcome, of course there is, but you plough through it until you get to the other side. And then you look back so proud of how far you’ve come.

This week on the podcast I chat with Oez from Find Good Art about her journey to where she is now. Oez thought she had it all figured out, she had the high paying job, husband, kid and status, but something inside wasn’t right. She knew something had to change, but what or how? Luckily, life gave her an opportunity to start her own journey. She may have left the job, left the husband and lost the status but now is the first time in her life she is living for her. 

Join us while Oez shares her journey, the ups and downs of her current journey, what steps she took to a happier and healthier her and she also gives advice to those women out there desperate to take back there lives.
