You may have noticed I took a bit of a hiatus. To be honest with you, I had reached a point where I was feeling really low. With everything going on in the world, it's all been so much to handle. I had a couple weeks where I didn't want to think about anything at all and just bury myself on my couch.

I hope that you understand, when you feel like this, of course, it's not okay to abandon your job or your family or your life. But it is okay to use your energy to get through the things that must be done in order to survive. and give yourself grace on everything else when you need to.

We often feel like a hot mess when we don't use all of our time to be doing, constantly. But let me tell you, I know that we need rest and self-care. And if self-care looks to you like taking some time to just retreat, that's what we need to do.

When we tap into that intuitiveness - that voice that says - hey, it's time to slow down and chill out - we need to listen to it. Which leads me to today's episode!!

Today I get to talk to Martina Barnes, super intuitive and life fulfillment coach. She discusses with me the incredible experiences of her intuition being activated and how it's led her to her current business and clients.

Her stories are riveting and fascinating! I hope you'll take this time to get acquainted with your own intuition and maybe even think back on times that yours was trying to show up and show out in your life. Did you listen? Did you ignore it? How did that turn out?

Let's dive in!

Martina G. Barnes is an experienced psychotherapist, life fulfillment coach and master intuitive who helps high-achieving women transform the areas in their lives where they lack reliable personal power. She teaches her clients and audiences to be able to "Say Yes When You Want to Say Yes--And No When You Want to Say No... So You Can Get Everything You Want Out of Life".

If you didn't know - I was a personal lines insurance agent before I started this podcast so I've known Lacy from the insurance world for years. But the more important subject we get to talk about is her daughter Koen, her congenital heart defect, and her two open heart surgeries. We get to dive into what that meant for her family in the last year and what it means for them moving forward. She has lots of advice for those parents also facing a scary situation with their babies.

Hey friends welcome back to the live with audacity podcast. You're listening to episode 40! Holy cow! I can't believe we've made it 40 whole episodes! HAHA

If you're not in my facebook group, you need to get there right away! I have started hosting an awesome life and biz masterclass each week on Tuesday afternoon where I have some of my friends and fellow business owners jump in the group to teach us using their expertise!

In fact, today's guest was my expert guest last week!

Today, I get to speak with Jessica Kleine, Money and Mindset coach, about paying off debt, finance, and how it all affects your dream life and how you get there and how quickly!

Let's dive in.

Jessica Kleine is a money + mindset coach and the Founder of MindSET Financial Coaching. As a stay-at-home mom with over 20 years in direct sales and network marketing, she's learned a thing or two about how those businesses work - and don't work. After getting fed up with the paycheck-to-paycheck life of a single-income-with-a-side-gig household, she learned how to manage the money for both home and business in such a way that allowed her family to become debt-free (except the house), take a dream family vacation to Universal Studios using cash, and fund a solid savings accounts to eliminate money stress. She started helping friends with their own budgets and money goals, never thinking it would someday turn into a business. Now, when she’s not coaching other MomBosses with their money and mindset issues, she’s spending time with her family, homeschooling her girls, or drinking wine. You can follow her on social media as The MomBoss Money Coach.

Today, I have a very special guest on, Ahnonda Bates of LeadHERship Coaching and Consulting to discuss with me the very touchy subject of race equality in America. I know this episode can be super helpful to anyone who really wants to know what to do, how to be supportive, but even bigger, for those who still aren't sure where they should stand or what they should say. I hope this super honest conversation helps you to understand what our friends of color are experiencing and why staying silent probably means something different than you intend. I know if you listen to this episode, you will walk away with more understanding! Let's dive in.

Ok - on to today's episode: today I get to talk to Kelly Sisson, mental health therapist and social worker and she tells me about how her deep desire to change the world is what led her to social work. We also dive into the current issues surrounding our country a bit - afterall , we're just two white women doing the best we can - and dig into our biases, where they come from, and why it's important to have the courage to confront them in order to be the change we want to see in the world. Let's dive in.

Kelly Sisson is a wife, mother, mental health therapist, podcaster and hippie at heart who loves Earl Grey iced tea, deep conversations, and encouraging others.

Before we dive into today's episode I wanted to take a minute to talk about authenticity and alignment.

Authenticity and alignment are the two most important qualities in my business and I believe they are the most important qualities in LIFE!!!

Being completely authentic, honest, and truthful with ourselves about who we are and what we want can really help us to ALIGN perfectly with our purpose.

ALIGNMENT is so important because oftentimes, we look around at what everyone else is doing - whether that's in our career or in our family life and raising our kids or even in how we choose to reach for health - that we forget that we are our own unique person with unique characteristics and goals.

That person has a mission in this life! A purpose. A calling.

My 30 days of journal prompts is perfectly named - Journal to Your Purpose - because that's exactly what you're going to do.

Over 30 days, you will rediscover what makes you, you! You'll be challenged to dig deep and answer some tough questions you may not have thought to consider before, but each and every one of them is designed to help you align your authentic self with your true purpose.

It is comprised of 30 journal prompts with lines to write included to be used over 30 days. This journal will bring you so much clarity, alignment, and confidence in who you are! You can get it by going to www.mmstuartco.com .

Once you've completed the journal, please reach out to me and let me know how it helped you and what you discovered! I want to know what you're working on!

Ok - on to today's episode. Have you ever met a medium? Do you believe in them? What even is a medium?

Today's episode is soooo exciting for me as I get to talk to my friend, medium and intuitive coach, Cossondre Bahr.

She answers tons of questions I had about mediumship, what it is and how it works!

Today is a special, solemn episode. As you heard a couple months back, my episode with Titania Jordan of Bark regarding online predators really struck a cord with me. Well, today's episode is no different.

Today's guest is Rhonda Kuykendall and she is a triumphant woman! She has successfully lobbied the Texas Legislature to abolish the statute of limitations on child sexual assault back in 2007 and continues her work on the Board of Directors of Child Advocates of Fort Bend County as the chair of their Legislative Advocacy Team. She also chairs the FBC Human Trafficking Team. Her storied childhood and subsequent pursuit of her abuser's conviction led her to be the voice of those who have been silenced by sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Today, we get to hear her story.
