The MountainMovers Podcast

Season 2. Episode 3. Are you sitting at the Wrong Table?

We read an article that was circulating Facebook and thought....WE SO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS! It's from a blog called herviewfromhome.com and the article is titled, "I No Longer Sit At Tables Where I Might Be The Topic When I Get Up."

This episode starts off great....but, we turn it up about midway. So hang with us! Our points are SPOT ON! We need to Move Mountains together with this topic ladies!!!! Learn to sit at tables where you're valued and loved and cherished and admired for being YOU!!!! No one can do YOU better than you can! Enjoy this episode! It is so good!

Season 2. Episode 2. Human Trafficking with Nicole Bernard.

Human Trafficking is a hot topic. It's an age old problem that continues to evolve over time. Knowledge is POWER. Our mission is to educate our mountain movers on the destruction and exploitation that is happening right here within our communities all over our great nation.

Nicole Bernard is the founder of an organization in North Carolina called Shield North Carolina. Shield targets specific communities and organizations within a municipality that are most likely to interface with an individual who is at risk for exploitation or is already being exploited. Shield develops trained, volunteer-led teams to serve those identified communities to help them defend their own territories by meeting their specific needs with tailored solutions. Those needs may include offering training, mentor programs, protocols, grant writing or awareness campaigns. 

Nicole will blow your mind with her vast knowledge and personal anecdotes.

For more information on how you can learn more about Shield NC, or how you can get involved in some way, please visit shieldnc.org

*If you know of someone who you believe is currently being exploited in some way, here is a hotline you can call 1-888-373-7888. 

Season 2: Episode 1. The Mother Load.

We made it to another season! What a rush. What a blessing. We could not have gone on without the support of each one of our listeners! 

Today, we ponder the GIANT mom struggle of transitioning from summer fun and no schedules, to fall and school and sports and rigid schedules.

Episode 47: Look how far you've come girl.... Confessions of a Former Mean Girl.

Girls are mean. Am I right? If you are raising daughters, like Katie and I are, it causes one to pause and reflect. Were we this mean? Were we this hateful? The truth of the matter is, if you look back you can reflect on the little girl you used to be and look forward to the woman you have become. Perhaps, you look into the archives of your life and ponder what you could have done to be a better human being in that time of your life? The reality is, when we are young, we just don't always do the right thing. We act out in ways that will make our future selves cringe. Right?

In this episode, we take a look into our past experiences and talk it out. As per usual, Katie and I have very different reflections!! 

Sit back and reflect with us. And maybe share a story or two of how the woman you became moved mountains to overcome the girl you once were.

Episode 46: Find your PURPOSE, and THRIVE.

Are you happy? Are you fulfilled? Do you crave finding your purpose in this life? 

Katie and I are huge advocates in using your life's experiences to propel you towards a discovery of your purpose. Don't sit back and cry about all the things that have gone wrong....use those things to push you FORWARD into discovering who you truly are! You are a person of VALUE. YOU have so much to offer. You are someone that has had the PERFECT experience to help another who is hurting. USE your past to PROPEL you to a future of PURPOSE and PASSION.

Enjoy discovering who you are! Tell us how this episode pushed you forward towards owning it!!!!

Episode 43: Starting a Non-Profit with Seeds of Hope.

When we started MountainMovers Podcast, our mission was to encourage others to grow, to heal, to go for it, to spread their wings, TO INSPIRE. 

Our very own Katie Vasil has taken a leap of faith, as she continues to fulfill a calling that has been placed on her heart for much of her life. She and her partner in crime, Kristy Inoa, have embarked upon a larger than life, non-profit, they call Seeds of Hope. Their mission is to "connect with the community to provide needs for people during times of transition." The journey began when they discovered a need for the fostering community. They are finding out quickly, that answering the call had divine purpose.
