Have you heard of forest bathing?  Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is the immersive experience of being in nature and noticing the sights, sounds, and smells of your experience.  In this episode I take you into a forest for a chat about the magical effects of nature on your mind, body and spirit, and the power of noticing and perspective.  Not only are there incredible health benefits from spending time in nature, but it also provides us with perspective in the seasons of change, the resilience with which we embrace life, and the gifts of being right here right now in this life that is yours!  Come join me in nature, you’ll hear the birds and rustle of the trees in the background… a gift!

Speaking of gifts, as this episode is airing on the eve of my 48th birthday, I have a GIFT FOR YOU!  Visit www.perfectlyimperfect.wtf and download your free journal/colouring book.  A space to reflect – from my heart to yours! xoxo

The trifecta of JOY is awareness, befriending your inner critic, and raising your vibe! In this episode, I invite you into a chat with me about awareness using the everyday analogy of tissue, or kleenex. As women, we spend a lot of time in service to others, and at the same time accumulate a lot of stories about ourselves, who we are supposed to be, and what is expected of us, without noticing what isn’t serving is any longer. The result, if awareness isn’t tended, is burnout. Burnout signs are real, and often we ignore them in service to others or the belief that we need to keep going, but at some point, we can be left with nothing to give, left standing with a bunch of crusty kleenex, and not knowing where to go from here. This episode is an invitation to notice, create some awareness, and consider what is serving your highest good now, and what you may be ready to let go of.

This episode is dedicated to those women who have already stepped into the Self Love Adventure and new ways to show up for themselves with honour, empathy, love, and presence.  In this interview, I have the pleasure of sharing space with Jennifer Forrest as she shares candidly her experience of moving through doubt, giving herself grace, and embracing the messiness of life by simply showing up with awareness.  She shares her experience of discovering her own way forward with the guidance of the Self Love Adventure, and the power of gathering in The Collective: a safe and magical place of connection and sisterhood.  Come join the self-love adventure and get to know this gorgeous soul in person! 

About the Guest:

Jennifer is a love-centred soul on her own perfectly imperfect adventure through life.  As a seasoned teacher, she leads from a place of kindness, and compassion for others, but has struggled with the same for herself.  She describes herself as persistent and passionate about relationships and how they can be better.  She came to the Self Love Adventure knowing it was time to try a more gentle approach, with the Self Love Adventure. Jennifer is a voracious reader, loves good stationary and pens, and may be found indulging on a good police drama.  “Good people” are her kind of people.

US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has drafted a response to Roe vs. Wade, the law that made it legal for women to seek and attain a medically assisted pregnancy termination.  This is a what the eff moment for many of us.  How could we be here in 2022?

You know the beliefs you hold about abortion.  I’m not here to sway you one way or another or engage in debate.  It is a complex issue and linked to beliefs, values, and your cultural stew.  You, dear listener, are invited to consider your cultural stew from a slightly different perspective.  What are your values around health, wellness, and compassion for another woman? What if she was your granddaughter, daughter, sister, or even mother?  

Compassion and kindness are needed now more than ever, as the looming threat of the safety of women becomes a question.  This is a real what the fuck moment for women.  As women around the world, we have a voice.   Let it be one of compassion and love.

In a candid conversation with a sister coach, Amie Wade, we discuss the power of living life as a conscious spiritual journey. She shares her experiences moving through a traumatic childhood, difficult relationships, struggling with suicidal ideation, and finding the way forward. We talk about nudges from spirit, and the power of love within, forgiveness of self, and the magic that comes from identifying your spiritual support system. When you create awareness around energy, you invite love and create space for surrender, forgiveness, and compassion. Spreading the love to create peace!

About the Guest:

Amie Wade is a Certified Life Coach; Certified Mindy, Body, Spirit Practitioner; Reiki Master/Teacher; Certified Angel Card Reader; Certified 200-hour yoga teacher. Her life experiences drove her to use alcohol as a means of coping with her emotions. With the information she gained from taking the certification courses she learned to heal her painful emotions and release her addiction. Now her desire is to help guide women in feeling empowered as they navigate their emotional healing journey with the intention of being confident in living a spiritual-based life with a powerful sense of self-love.

I get real about my what the fuck experience when my dad shared with me that I had “lived as a caged animal all of my life” – and how he knew he was the cause of it – his disclosure to me that he had sexually abused me as a child. When it was time to tell my mom, I just knew. As an empath, despite not wanting to “hurt” others by sharing, I recognized the cost of the secret too. Let’s talk about it!

Throughout life, and especially during the pandemic, our pets provide companionship, comfort, and another soul to connect with. In the past, our family experienced the loss of our beloved Mika, and have invited a new dog, Wally, and now his sister, Maggie into our lives! If you’ve had any judgment around pandemic pets, you want to listen to this episode!!!  I judged others and myself. Hard.   

Having pets invites us to see the world through their eyes, and explore with freedom, curiosity, and connection.  During the pandemic, our pets have offered so much joy and light in a time of darkness. Pets teach us about what makes life juicy – how to live with curiosity, joy, trust, and make life an adventure!

How do you help a friend when they are grieving? Grief and loss are parts of life that we don’t really like to talk about, and we all experience it at some point in our lives. Loss of a relationship, job, health, pet, or just about anything meaningful to a person can mean a need for love and support – leaning in. Heidi Dunstan, a widow, and Certified Grief Educator, shares her insights into how to help others grieve and ways to be a support in the darkness of grief. She shares the story of losing her beloved partner, Mike, at a time when he was preparing a special birthday celebration for her 40th birthday. In a candid conversation, Heidi shares what inspired her to teach others how to be present for the grieving in small and meaningful ways. 

About the Guest:

International Best-Selling Author and Certified Grief Educator, Heidi Dunstan has a passion to help others learn about grief and legacy. Her experience came firsthand after losing her husband unexpectedly in 2018. Dealing with loved ones saying the wrong thing or completely disappearing, showed her that many people have never learned how to grieve. Heidi believes that grief is love, and it should never be done alone. She teaches people what to say and not say to grievers, giving them the tools to Lean into Grief, so we can all grieve with grace.

Who is your Deja? Deja is the name I’ve given my inner critic shadow self. Limiting beliefs or automatic negative thoughts that can sometimes feel like a hamster wheel, and they don’t have to! Today we talk about where that comes from (I call it your cultural stew), and how to notice and work with those thoughts rather than resist them. These thoughts do not have to be your truth. Let’s talk about how to notice, befriend, and let go of what no longer serves your highest self!
