Episode 36: In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and Human Design expert, Jamie Woodworth.  Jamie did my Human Design reading over a year ago and I'm really just learning to harness its power.  As a coach said to me recently as I was struggling to give myself permission to make a decision that I knew felt right, "Isn't it like you're fighting against how you're made?"

And, that is it! We've been conditioned to fit in certain boxes and then we judge ourselves or think something's wrong with us when it doesn't feel right. Then, we hold our kiddos to the same standards.

What if you could powerfully work with your design (and you're child's design)?

I recently had Jamie run my boys' charts and let me just say, it makes so much sense and it has shifted how I engage with them in ways that empower and support them.

As Jamie state, "I love helping others to know themselves in a different way and to harness the power of Human Design to step more fully into one's authentic self, and to know the way that their loved ones tick."

It's a powerful episode and as complex as Human Design can be, Jamie breaks it down as she truly believes "that just knowing a few basic things about Human Design can make a world of difference not only for the listener but also with their kids and partners."

Tune in!

Episode 36: If you're anything like me, making a plan may be a daily thing. And, when things don't go as "planned" your whole day feels off and you're off in search of another plan that will finally let you feel in control and calm this overwhelm for good.

I'll let you in on a little secret... it's not about the plan.
It's about the feeling you think the plan will give you.
Yet, procrastination or not following through is not a bad thing when you understand what it's really about and how to work with it instead of always fighting against it.

In this episode, I'm going to share with you what it really is and a plan to get you moving forward feeling empowered and confident!

Bonus Episode 002: "You don't have to be an exhausted mom while raising your little ones. In fact, you SHOULDN'T be an exhausted mom while raising your little ones!"

Sleep is a vital component of our health and well-being and yet for so many of us, those early newborn sleepless nights become the norm when we're faced with a kiddo who doesn't have the tools for good sleep.

And, we may just be unknowingly sabotaging them.

In this bonus episode, I chat with Eva Klein, an infant and child sleep consultant and founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program. She is ALL about helping clients establish healthy sleep habits for their children. This is vital for a child's development and your own mental health and well-being.

If sleep feels like a struggle in your family right now, this episode is for YOU!

More about Eva: Eva is a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant and is the founder of My Sleeping Baby and the Sleep Bible program.

Eva’s main goal is to help her clients establish healthy sleep habits for their children. After experiencing the debilitating effects of chronic sleep deprivation from her middle child, Eva was inspired to help families overcome their sleep challenges. Eva truly empathizes with her clients’ sleep troubles and personally invests herself in their sleep journey.

In addition to completing her sleep consulting certification, she is a member of the Association of Professional Sleep Consultants and she completed the 2016 Infant Mental Health Community Training through the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Eva also has her Bachelor of Arts from York University and her law degree from the University of Western Ontario.

Eva is a proud wife and mother of two girls and a boy (who are all great sleepers) and lives with her family in Toronto. She provides individual sleep consultations, facilitates group seminars and runs an online sleep program and community called the Sleep Bible.

Episode 35:  "Patterns are everywhere and being able to become aware of what they are and what you want allows us the opportunities to see the choices we actually have."

In this episode, Claire Cetti shares her journey from childhood and the patterns she had to work through to be the mom she wanted to be. Through this process, she developed her C.A.R.E.S. pathway that places the focus on the relationship we have with our kiddos and how we can honor the "me" while holding the "we" as a beautiful place to be.

I invite you to take a listen!

Bonus Episode 1: OMG! I know you're going to love this episode as much as I enjoyed listening to Gina Bell read her book, Tears & Tulle, and chatting all about living our life in full color and accessing our inner magic even when life doesn’t go the way we hope!

Tears & Tulle is the story of a girl and her rainbow tulle skirt. Magical and invisible to all but the girl, the skirt is a source of joy, wonder, and strength.

As the girl grows and changes, so does her magical skirt! On her dark days, the girl’s rainbow tulle skirt is a bright reminder to celebrate her inner sparkle.

The book (and the rainbow skirt) have been the catalyst for The Tears & Tulle Movement, a women’s empowerment project started by Gina Bell.

"We're all born with a rainbow tulle skirt of our very own. Sometimes we just need a little help remembering what that feels like." ~ Gina Bell

Episode 32: How can you get where you want to go without a clear vision of what you want?

Do you know what you're a YES for? Maybe you're more clear on what you're a no for. 

Just like a GPS makes arriving at the destination we desire with purpose and intention more likely, so does having a clear vision for the experience you desire to create.

Otherwise, we're spending our energy pushing back what we don't want.  Feeling like life is coming at you. Like you’re playing a perpetual game of whack-a-mole.

Something comes up over here and you whack it down. Something comes up over there and you whack it down.

Before you know it you're spending days, weeks, months, and sometimes years always on the lookout for the next thing to whack.

In this episode, I'm chatting with the amazing Tracy Nolin Beerman, and we're diving into what it looks like to regain control, get your joy back and create work/life harmony by creating a life vision and she's sharing her FAB Framework (Focus. Align. Become).

 "Every mom needs a life vision. It is about focusing on what you want because clarity is the cure for overwhelm."
