In this month's solo jam, I invite you into your truth, about how we compare ourselves to others! Other women, moms, the way they parent, their relationships, their house, trips, and OH yes, their BODIES!  The power of social media is so present, the perfection portrayed creating discomfort on every post. But I want to be a part of the movement to change all that! STARTING with this episode. Sit back, listen and learn how to be inspired by the women that you follow.  I also share with you, who I compare myself to! I give the details on where I have been courageous, how it's given me permission to show up, and how taking messy action from the women I admire is soooo freaking powerful. 

In this episode, I talk about:

• How to shift comparison to the expression of  the parts of us that we see, admire, and desire in others. 
• Letting go of consumption and comparison for inspiration and action.
• The gifts in connecting and reaching out to the women you are comparing yourself to.
• How taking messy action allows you to access the highest version of yourself.

I knew from the moment I met Taylor, she had a story to share, although I had no idea about what or that the pain would run so deep.  She has this quiet, fierceness about her, and her wisdom is way beyond her years. On this episode, Taylor opens up the conversation about the tragedy, suicide, and mental health of her father. This loss that she experienced at a tender age of 13, that brought her world tumbling down, also gave her strength.  Listen as she explores how NOT feeling impacted her relationship with food, her body, and the role of her love of gymnastics played into the struggle. Taylor is now coaching women to heal their relationship with their body and food, conquer their mindset, reconnect with their body, and live a more soul-based life! YOU are gonna love her, just as much as I do! 

About Taylor 

Taylor Cope is a Certified Hungry for Happiness Food & Body Freedom Wellness Coach. She spent years struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. She was also a personal trainer frustrated with her inability to sustain a healthy weight even though she had all of the knowledge. The more she personal trained the more she learned that creating healthy lifestyle changes was not that easy for her clients. That the more she talked to them the more their emotions started to surface. That is when she realized to make life lasting changes you have to dig deep and work through all of the unresolved emotional issues and limiting beliefs holding you back. So she made it her mission to not only heal her relationship with her body & food but to help other women do the same. 

On this episode, Taylor shares

• The challenges of never feeling good enough as a child, a teenager, and how that plays into adulthood. 
• 'Time does not heal all wounds'...FEELING heals all wounds. 
• How to include the range of emotions in our daily lives, and stop fighting food! 
• Connecting to your intuition, through meditation and breath.
• The struggle women face when trying to lose weight and the role that expressing emotion plays in this dance women have been doing for decades.
• The wisdom of, "YOU don't know what you don't know"!

From the moment I got on the phone with Crystal, way back in Sept 2018, it was so easy. There were so many similarities between her and I. From raising boys, 'doing it all', struggling with food and our body to wanting more and desiring more, we had so many things in common. It's like we already knew each other.  Even though we live in different countries, we had the same goal. We SO desperately wanted to help other women, but we also wanted to help ourselves. She knew, as I know, we are not alone and the silence can end here. This jam session is about our truth. The tough times, noisiness of our minds, and the gifts of motherhood. This is one you'll definitely want to tune into.

She loves sharing her knowledge on what she is learning in her Hungry for Happiness Certification course that has already changed and transformed her life. Her drive is to help other busy Momma's realize that they have the ability to empower themselves to a lasting change by learning the proper tools to upgrade their mindset, gain back control over their emotions and let go of their daily struggle with food, cravings and negative body image issues.

During this Solo Jam, I share the impact of connecting with MY own breath as a mom, a woman, and an entrepreneur.  I explore how so many of us have taken the gift of life for granted. Breath is the first thing we enter into this world with and the last thing we experience before we leave.  If you are overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or constantly worried about 'life' and things to do, you don't want to miss this one. On today's episode, I get into the power of breath and the openness of an inhale and exhale from an integrative and a meditative perspective. You will also learn how breath can create opportunities to feel calm, while living in the chaos of life.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How to use integrative breath to ground, love yourself, and live in the flowy ease of your day.
• The intentionality of breathwork.
• Why breathwork is so different than meditation
• How using breathwork diffuses triggers.
• The impact of breath for those around me in my world.
