✨ Wellness Wednesday – Season 4, Episode 10 ✨
Topic: The Power of You: Reclaiming Confidence Through Self-Expression
Guest: Jenny Handy – Motivational Speaker & High-Performance Coach

This week on Wellness Wednesday, join Uma Alexandra Beepat for an empowering conversation with Jenny Handy, motivational speaker, certified high-performance coach, and founder of the YouTube channel Unconventional Coach.

Women move through life constantly shifting and adapting — filling roles, meeting expectations, carrying burdens, and reinventing ourselves over and over again. But in the process, many lose pieces of their identity, their voice, and their confidence.

Jenny’s talk, “The Power of You,” explores how self-expression becomes a pathway back to confidence, clarity, and emotional freedom. Through her stories, insights, and coaching framework, she helps women discover who they are beneath the roles they perform and reconnect to the parts of themselves that have been silenced by hardship or self-doubt.

In this uplifting episode, Jenny shares how to:
🌿 Rebuild confidence after life’s challenges
🌸 Reconnect to your authentic voice
💫 Use self-expression as a tool for healing
🔥 Stop shrinking and start showing up fully
✨ Move past old obstacles and step into your power

If you’ve ever felt unseen, overlooked, or disconnected from yourself, this episode will give you the encouragement and clarity you’ve been needing.

Purpose Over Presents: Creating Meaningful Moments That Last Beyond the Holidays

Guest: Lori McDowell – The Retreat Engineer

This week on Wellness Wednesday, join Uma Alexandra Beepat for a heart-centered conversation with Lori McDowell, retreat strategist, speaker, and author of The Reinvention Mindset.

You'll discover how aligning with purpose not only brings peace to your holiday season but also sets the tone for a soul-centered new year.

Listeners will walk away with simple, heartfelt strategies they can begin using immediately — from creating meaningful holiday rituals to reconnecting with their inner purpose and carrying that clarity forward.

✨ In This Episode:
• Opening affirmation for emotional grounding
• This week’s astrology & horoscopes
• Positive news to uplift your heart
• Main Talk: Shadow Gratitude — Thanking the Things That Hurt
• November Tarotscopes
• Mini readings for 1K gifts

Join me for a transformative hour of healing, reflection, and higher understanding as we honor the lessons hidden inside life’s hardest moments.

Grab your tea, light your candle, and let’s step into gratitude on a deeper level together.

✨ Wellness Wednesday – Season 4, Episode 8 ✨

Topic: Reclaiming Your Muchness: The Power of Authentic Confidence
Guest: Greta Okomo, Founder & CEO, Collaborative Change Consulting, LLC

This week on Wellness Wednesday, join Uma Alexandra Beepat and Greta Okomo for a deeply empowering conversation about what it truly means to live authentically as a woman in today’s world.

As women, we often feel pressure to conform—to shrink ourselves to meet expectations or to be accepted by others. But as Greta reminds us, when we shrink, we lose our “muchness” — that spark of confidence, focus, and alignment with who we really are.

In this inspiring talk, Greta will share how we can reclaim our muchness, reconnect with our strengths and values, and show up in life and leadership with authenticity and power.

💫 In this episode, we’ll explore:

Why women often feel pressure to shrink and how to break that cycle

How reclaiming your “muchness” helps you live with confidence and joy

The connection between authenticity, empowerment, and leadership

Practical ways to strengthen your voice and stay grounded in your truth
