  • 12: Money Mindset: Healing Our Relationship With Money
    Money seems to be the thing that we least like to talk about, yet it impacts us more than anything else. We are talking about the guilt, shame, and fear surrounding money along with the harmful beliefs we were taught about money as kids. 
    Stephen M. Hughes, Financial Therapist, is determined to change the way we talk about wellness and money. Steven helps people and communities get the support they need to help move their finances— and life— forward. He shares his healing journey and financial missteps, in order to help people shift their money mindset into abundance. 
    Steven also talks about how he uses money reiki as a part of financial wellness, to help people release money blocks that may be impacting their ability to move forward.

  • 11: The Journey of Alzheimer’s Disease & Caregiving: The Pain of the Long Goodbye

    Alzheimer’s is called the long goodbye because the journey to a loved one’s last breath can last anywhere from months to over 20 years. Lisa’s journey with her mom took place over eight years. In this incredible episode, my guest host, Lisa, shares her story as she took on the role of caretaker, mother of two kids, and wife —- all while working and taking care of patients.


    It is a story of heartbreak, love, pain, anger, exhaustion, and so much more. Join us as we talk about the stuff that so many people never share.

  • 10: From Ashamed to Living in Your Purpose: A Conversation With Fashion Blogger Tiffany Battle aka Curvy Coils

    Tiffany Battle goes by @CurvyCoils on Instagram and @iamcurvycoils on Facebook. She is a fashion and style blogger who was recently featured on a billboard in the middle of Times Square. But her path to get there has not always been smooth. As a plus size child in a family of skinny women, there were no plus size clothes for her as a kid. She fought through shame, insecurities and isolation to find her place in the world of fashion, thrifting, and self-acceptance. Join me for one of my favorite podcast episodes as we talk about finding your place and passion in the world and embracing your strengths.
