We all have them.  Those moments in our lives that makes us sit so deeply to explore things in our life.  What happens when we take that pain and turn it into purpose?

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Liv Ryan on this week's episode. Liv Ryan is a business coach and yoga teacher + retreat leader from Iowa. It's her passion to help women embrace their gifts, connect with their vision and live with purpose, clarity and joy. 
Ever heard of holy yoga? In this Episode we talk through what brought Liv to holy yoga (and what it is!), how it impacted her life, brought her grounding in a time of darkness, and how her experience with yoga led to finding clarity and peace in her own life, so much so that it led to helping other women do the same through coaching. 

As mothers we put so much on our plates and forget that in our fullness, we bring that fullness to our families, our loved ones and everyone around us. If you want to hear two mothers, women and passionate individuals share how powerful it is to take ownership, find the present moment and experience the good even through the hard, take a listen!

If you want to follow along on Liv's journey you can find her @livhoperyan on IG and find more about her classes and retreats at www.livryan.com.  

Hope you Enjoy!

Brooke and I got a chance to sit down and talk about transitioning from a career that feels like a forever, starting a new business from a passion project, and choosing to live life as a family in a different lane (In an RV!). If you are a mother who is feeling a pull to do something differently but not seeing how you can make it work, take a listen. Brooke is a beautiful example of trusting her intuition and bringing dreams to live while living in the moment.

In 2015, Brooke Happe stepped away from her dream job.  She was practicing as a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and was working in the career she had spent a decade training for. But with two young kids at home and another on the way, she realized her heart was yearning to be home with my family. Right before her daughter was born, she left her job and became a full-time mom. 

In 2016, she started a business without meaning to.  She started crocheting to keep her hands strong, intending to go back to practice one day. Then she realized the hat she designed to hide her greasy mom hair could help other moms feel put together too. 

 When people started asking where she got my slouch hat, she tarted selling the beanies locally. b.e.happe was born. 

In 2019 Brooke knew her kiddos weren’t going to be kids forever. But instead of spending time together, they felt stuck in the monotony of their daily routines. That’s when Brooke and her husband sold their home and all their belongings and moved into a 41ft 5th wheel and hit the road full time.

Brooke and I got a chance to sit down and talk about walking away from a career that feels like a forever, starting a new business from a passion project, and choosing to live life as a family in a different lane  (In an RV!). If you are a mother who is feeling a pull to do something differently but not seeing how you can make it work, take a listen. Brooke is a beautiful example of trusting her intuition and living life in the moment.

If you want to follow along with Brooke's story as her and her family travel the country in an RV you can find her on IG @b.e.happe. You can see her BEAUTIFUL HATS and also learn more about how to travel and build a business on the road.

In this podcast, we will be discussing how gratitude can be utilized as a tool during times of fear and worry. Our guest today is Katie Kershner, a Health coach focused on supporting individuals during their busy season of life. This is our second conversation around Gratitude and its impact in our day today lives. Katie and I talk abou personal experiences around how having a daily Gratitude practice allowed us to show up differently in our life and utilize the tools practiced to have a different perspective of intense situations. 

The sound was a bit funky from my end, but the conversation felt like it needed to be shared. So hoping that you can take what you need from it and the sound quality doesnt take away from your experience. 

Key takeaways:

1. What is gratitude? Gratitude is a mindset, a way of seeing the world around you with appreciation and thankfulness. It's not just about feeling good when things go well, but also being able to find the good in difficult situations.
2. Gratitude and fear are incompatible: When we focus on what we're grateful for, it's hard to feel afraid. Gratitude shifts our attention away from what we don't have and toward what we do have.
3. Cultivating gratitude: Gratitude is a skill that can be practiced and developed over time. 
4. Gratitude and the brain: Practicing gratitude can rewire our brains to focus on the positive and decrease negative thoughts and emotions.
5. Gratitude in difficult times: It's important to remember that gratitude doesn't mean ignoring or minimizing difficult emotions. Instead, it's about finding the good in the midst of challenging situations.

Conclusion:
As is the basis of all that we love to talk about at The Motion of Gratitude, Gratitude is a powerful tool that can help us navigate through times of fear and worry. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude and practicing it regularly, we can experience greater happiness, stronger relationships, and improved overall well-being.

Welcome to the second recording that Matthew and I have done together. We decided that in this episode we wanted to talk about what happens when your foundation gets rocked. So many times we are able to talk about what we were able to do AFTER we go through an intense phase of life, but we don't always let people see the messier, confusing part. Although we are looking back on our experiences, we wanted to share the not so pretty side of change and questioning that has happened for us to get to this point of living life differently. It wasn't as easy as waking up one day, having a clear direction and not having any confusion, sadness or fear along the way. Those all still exist. Here we both share our stories of when in our lives that our foundations got rocked, what it felt like, what it looked like and what it lead to. We hope that in sharing our experiences if you feel like you are in that chapter of your foundation getting rocked, you will know you are not alone. And maybe there may be some thoughts or experiences that might help you on your journey.

We hope you enjoy.

We've all heard in our life "just trust your intuition." But have we ever taken time to really understand what our intiution is, or HOW we can start to trust it?
 I had the pleasure of talking with Tara Soto Regester, the host of A Mother's Intuition Podcast and a practitioner who specializes in highly intuitive children.
Throughout the podcast, we talked about what actually is a mother's intuition and why we as mothers aren't always encouraged to listen to it (especially if it doesn't follow the status quo).
Tara shared her story of how trusting her own intuition when her son Dominic, who was 5 at the time seemed to be a loose cannon. Blowing up and lashing out spontaneously at things like meeting a new a person or being in the presence of certain foods. He became very tenacious about escaping school and scaling the walls.  Psychologist after psychologist began throwing out diagnosis’ but in the same breath admitting to not knowing how to help. And then a hard stop came when Dominic became suicidal in the beginning months of kindergarten.  As a family they stepped out of the rat race and began to deeply explore every crevice of how they could have a suicidal five year old.  As Tara explored and searched for answers, they didn't come from traditional avenues, like doctors and pediatricians, but clarity started to come from practitioners who understood energy and lead her to a Reiki Master who explained energy and began to ask exact questions pertaining to how Dominic navigated the world.  Her belief in how she perceived her children and her world turned.

Tara learned so much through her experience, which no road map existed for and she hopes to show what magic can happen when we follow our own intuition about the connection that might be the deepest connection we have ever known with another person. The connection between a parent and child

A life lived in Pursuit of Gratosis is a life fully felt and lived consciously. It is through the experience of life that we can find Gratitude and appreciation for life in a way that we might otherwise miss. Today's episode I am so excited to introduce you to my husband Matthew. Our journeys to live life consciously and to be present in our lives have been unique in our approach, yet both have gotten us to the same outcome. In this episode we dive deep into the approaches that we took, Shannon being the river, a slower more day to day approach to intentional living and being present, and Matthew the waterfall, diving into his experience with Ayuhuasca and the impact it has had in his life and ours as a couple.

We explore what consciousness means to us individually, as a couple and how we hope to support others on their journey through The Motion of Gratitude.

We hope you enjoy this episode, and it is the beginning of many more to come!

In order to chart our own course, we need a vehicle in which to do it. Whether you are looking to start a movement, have an impact on the world, or support yourself and your family, the vehicle that you choose to pursue that purpose has a massive impact.

I had the joy to sit down with Jaime Lynn Curley, Founder of The Tailor Made Life. Jaime Lynn shared her story of working in a career that she loved and was incredibly passionate about until the day came that she realized that she was missing so much of her life with her little babies. She was getting on the train early in the morning to go from Philadelphia to New York City and was missing all the milestones that she always dreamed of being a part of. 
She was introduced to a product that helped her physically and mentally and she realized that she had an opportunity to shift the direction of her life by partnering with a Network Marketing company to build a business of her own.  She knew that she had to make a choice to make a change and she has spent the last 8 years building a successful business in the Health and Beauty industry. 
As someone who is not in network marketing yet has had a wonderful experience with the products and the professionals in the industry it was a pleasure to talk with   Jaime Lynn about the business, the opportunities that it provides, and how business as we know it is shifting. Networking marketing can be the vehicle to life a live of purpose and passion, it's what you chose to do with it. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jaime Lynn! If you want to learn more about Jaime Lynn or follow along to her story you can find her on social media @jaimelynncurley

For everyone out there looking to learn more about the beautiful voice behind the meditations for The Experience, I am overjoyed to introduce you to Jaki Reynolds! Jaki has been a yoga and meditation student and teacher for over 15 years and brings a beautiful perspective of what meditation truly is. 
In this conversation Jaki shares her story of how she got into yoga and meditation and the impact it has had in her life.

I had the honor and opportunity to sit down and interview Genevieve King, the Founder and CEO of Origins Curriculum.  Origins Curriculum is the homeschool curriculum that we are using for our family and is rooted in an understanding of mindfulness and ecoliteracy in early education.
Geneveve has over 25 years experience in early childhood education and an extensive background in sustainability. Genevieve decided to combine her passion for teaching children with her expertise in the principles of sustainability with the opening of Origins Education in 2011 and Origins now has 4 brick and mortar locations with the 5th on the way.
By supporting children in fostering a solid intellectual, emotional, social and physical connection to the earth, Genevieve believes that we develop an understanding of our place in the eco-systems of life as well as gaining a love for life-long learning. She created an eco-literacy and mindfulness curriculum that is both play-based and place-based and is honored to teach young children about the earth, it’s fascinating cycles and how to respect and care for it and all of its inhabitants.

Throughout the episode you will hear Genevieve's story of how Origins Education and Curriculum came to be.  Our conversation explores the impact ecoliteracy and mindfulness has for the early years of our children's lives and how it can help shape and positively impact the next generation.


If you are looking for a homeschool curriculum OR looking to supplement the learning that your children are currently learning- This is a MUST listen! Also, for more information about the offerings of Origins, check out Origins Curriculum - Pre K and Homeschool Conscious Curriculum.

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a beautiful holiday season. This year I wanted to start out by sharing some thoughts on the year ahead. If you were on social media during the week between Christmas and New Years just about everyone was sharing their word for 2023. I told myself I wasn't going to do it, but then remembered how my word of 2022 stuck with me last year, and really drove so many of my choices and thoughts and so I had to think it through. I couldn't keep you guessing what the word was and felt the need to share it. My word for 2023 is Intention. Intentional choices became the catalyst to truly living my life, not just being on autopilot. I wanted to share a space where I went into how I plan to use intention in 2023 (especially as a mom!) and how it has guided me in the past.

I hope you enjoy!
