If you are a parent, or a person who cares for children, this episode is for you! In fact, I would say, it’s for all of us. Why? Well, because we all, adults and children, are having a heightened experience of uncertainty right now , and it’s key we learn how to manage it, especially if we have kids in our care.

As adults, we have more resources and points of reference when it comes to dealing with challenging times. Children, however, don’t. So, it’s the responsibility of the parents and carers to know how to help them go through these kind of times in a very resourceful way, setting them up for an emotionally fit future. And that simply is EMPOWERING for all of us as a society.

I hope you enjoy and learn immensely from our guest, Kathy Wyber, a wonderful and experienced Educator and Parent Coach, founder of the Happy Parenting Community and creator of the private facebook group Extraordinary Parenting where she shares lots of practical resources for parents and families.

Stress can show up in different ways for each one of us. For some, the response can be physical, for others, it can be more emotional or mental. Regardless of how it manifests, it’s important that we have tools at our hands to be able to manage it and to bring our being back to harmony. And this where aromatherapy and essential oils can help us immensely!

In this interview with Sonya Edmonds, registered nurse & clinical aromatherapist, founder of Mother Nurture, we learn how aromatherapy treats holistically; how to and what essential oils to use during the the different stages of the stress response; why less is more when it comes to treating emotional issues, and lots more!

I hope you enjoy this interview. I particularly love how Sonya goes straight to the point and shares with us very practical information we can start using straight way. Yay!

Sonya has also made something very special for all of us where we can learn more about Aromatherapy for Stress Relief. You follow the link below to get access to her gift!

This week marks the end of the first season of The Love Approach Project Podcast. OMG! It’s amazing to think it’s been 49 episodes already; that means 49 weeks together and many amazing guests and insights shared! Yay!

So, I thought I would share with you a guided meditation exercise to close this first season, and to help you step with ease and grace into a wonderful new week! Enjoy! All you need is a place where you can sit quietly for about 10 minutes. ;)

See you next week for the beginning of Season 2!

Ps. I apologise for my tummy talking quite loudly talking during the recording of this episode.  :P

Sometimes we can be prey to our emotions. More specifically, to our emotional reactions. We swing like a pendulum between the highs and the lows of our emotions, and we just simply don’t have control over them. This can actually cause a lot of stress in us, and can lead to feeling powerless and to have poor interactions and relationships with others. In a nutshell, we become unreliable, nobody (not even us!) know how we are going to feel or react at a particular time.

The problem is that if continue down this path of unconsciousness, we will never feel at ease, or at peace, and we will spend our life blaming others for how ‘they make us feel’. However, we can change that. We can take charge of our lives, and it can all start with practicing AWARENESS. And that’s my invitation for you today!

I hope you enjoy listening today’s episode!

Thinking of you today and sending you immense love!

Big, big hug your way!

The path of getting to know ourselves deeply can be tricky sometimes. Mainly because there are many things about us that we don’t want to see or acknowledge. And I get it, it can be tough to realise that we are not as nice as we think, or that we have amazing qualities we are afraid to show and bring to the world.

So, this is when curiosity comes into place. Why? Well, because we can use it as a tool to explore more of who we are, and dive into the depths of our behaviour and patterns of thought from a slightly detached place, where we go with an open mind instead of a judgemental one. Curiosity is the gentle key that opens the doors to growth and healing within. It’s a powerful tool for transformation. So, what do say? Are you ready to use it? ;)

Self-care can take different shapes and forms for each one of us. We are, at the end of day, all different, and we experience the world and our life in different ways. What I find fascinating, is that we ALWAYS know what we need in order to take care of ourselves, and yet, most of the time we fail to take action and provide that for us. The result: we end up sick, unwell, overwhelmed, stressed out, among other things.

So, I think it’s safe to say that self-care is an important piece in the puzzle of our health and of living a harmonious life. Don’t you think?

What would it take for you to start doing what your whole being is asking for?

In this short episode I would like to invite you to pay close attention to self-care as a way of building trust in yourself and of ‘filling your own love cup’, so that you don’t depend on others to fill it up, and instead become a contributor to this world.

I hope you like this episode, it's been made with lots of love! Enjoy!

Trusting ourselves can be one of the most courageous things we can do. Why? Because in order to trust ourselves we must take the risk of following our intuition, of keeping our promises and of being there, by our side, when things are going great.

However, most of us don’t even know where to start when it comes trusting, both in us and in others. Our self-talk is loaded with expressions such as “ I can’t do it”, “I wouldn’t trust myself”, never ending “I don’t knows” and much more!, leading us to outsource our life decisions (and fulfilment) to others. We basically end up giving our power away.

So, reclaiming trust in ourselves is key in order for us to live to our fullest potential and stepping away from fear. It’s the opportunity to see ourselves again for the amazing and powerful beings we are.

In this episode I would like to share with you three simple ways in which you can start strengthening your self-trust muscle and little by little experiencing the benefits of knowing that you have your back!

Enjoy!

Laura ;)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. -Reinhold Niebuhr

Sometimes we get stuck and ruminate on everything we can’t change. We resist the situations that we don’t like or that make us feel uncomfortable, or we simply run away from them. We just can’t accept. What we don’t realise is that by doing this, we are actually creating stress in our body and mind, and of course a lot emotional and even physical pain.

However, we ALWAYS have the opportunity to practice acceptance, and in this way, open the gateways for present and past situations to show us their gifts, to help us see that everything that happens in our life has a purpose, that nothings happens by chance. Acceptance, when practiced consciously, becomes the key that opens the doors of possibility and growth.

In this episode I share with you four simple ideas (or invitations) that you can start using straight away to bring more acceptance into your life, no matter what you are going through. I hope they help you remember that within you lies the power of surrendering and of creating change in your life when you are willing to accept what you cannot change.

With immense love,

Laura

Challenge... oh boy! We can have a rocky relationship with it, but when we face it from the perspective of growth, then it becomes a need, rather than something to avoid. 

However, most of us are not aware of how we deal with challenges, obstacles and uncertainty in our lives. And that lack of awareness, can lead us to destructive behaviours that keeps us stuck. 

In this episode I share with you a bit of my experience and insights about being challenged and tested, especially after a month of preparation for my virtual summit 'Love in times of uncertainty'. 

I hope this episode brings you some light, and helps you reflect upon your own relationship with challenge. 

Sending you a big, loving hug!!

Laura
