WARNING - In this episode, a raw and personal story of surviving and thriving after abuse is shared and may not be suitable for everyone.

Our experiences teach us about the world around us, but what happens when those lessons create fear and uncertainty? How does that impact us?  Joining me in this episode is Terri Kozlowski who shares her story of not just surviving sexual abuse but also how she learned to thrive after it. Terri's experience moved her towards a spiritual journey and learned her true power, allowing her to transcend fear and regain a connection with the Divine.

We're whole beings, made up of our experiences. Those experiences become a part of us, mentally and physically. To heal any pain or trauma (big or small) it's important to engage both mind and body.

Joining me in this episode is Kristen Boyle, a Yoga Therapist and Somatic Coach to talk about:

• Embodied Living
• The 3 wisdom centres
• How trauma can be one big event or a series of smaller ones

We've talked before about how so many of us seem to be ticking the boxes on "someone's" list of how to live life. Somehow, even though you think you've done everything right, something feels wrong, like we missed something...or a piece of ourselves.

Joining me for this episode is Melanie Hicks of In Pursuit to share how we can take small steps to a bigger future in the pursuit of happiness.

In this episode we discuss: 1) How we can be living someone else's version of ourselves 2) The concept of dharma and dharma adjacent 3) Melanie's 3E Method of Change

I also share what my friend from high school thought I would be "when I grew up" and how we've kept our sons on their path of authenticity.

Sometimes, we see someone else's accomplishments and wonder if we measure up. That's because we're only seeing one side of the story, we're looking at the external version of that person. If you pull back that curtain, you may see a completely different situation. 

Today's guest is Unstoppable but a few years ago Stacey Ruth had a long list of accomplishments but they came at a price. In this episode I chat with Stacey about:

• Being sick and tired of being sick and tired
• Checking all of the "boxes" yet still feeling like something is wrong
• Trusting our inner compass and inner wisdom

Stacey's book, Own Your Own Shift: The Passion, Power & Freedom to Be UNStoppable, is available on Amazon.

Everyone has likely had anxious feelings at some point. Before an exam, a job interview or maybe hitting record on a podcast. Those feelings are common but for some people feeling anxious is constant and impacts daily life.

The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way - there is a way out.

In this episode, I chat with Heather Rider of The Energy Synergist to talk about anxiety, spotting the signs, and the important question to ask when you're feeling anxious.

2020 has been a chaotic storm of emotions, we’ve had to adjust and readjust. Our lives have been thrown upside and every week seems to bring a new twist. Watching people’s posts on social media, conversations with family and friends, I’ve wondered if we’ve all been experiencing some form of grief.

Returning guest, Katie Rossler, Licensed Counsellor and Grief Healer, joins me in this episode to chat about the grief journey and how grief applies to our pandemic lifestyle.
