Thriving Joy with Katie Carroll

In today’s episode, we dive into topics such as radical self-love (where do we get it?), self-image, the constant need to run towards achievement, how society continues to see women as “self-less martyrs” (and the effects this belief is having on women), how to start to listen to the whispers of your heart, how the term “busy” has become something that’s “glorified” in our today’s society; and most importantly, how the simple fact that you are here on this earth means that you matter and that “YOU bring the value!” Grab your favorite cozy beverage, sit back and get ready for the magic of Dr. Dee Frayne!!

In today’s episode, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Yelina Perez, Vegan Wellness Coach/Health and Wellness Lifestyle and BodyGoals Coach. I met Yelina on LinkedIn, where our passions for helping people live their healthiest and best lives brought us together. Although the foods on our plates look quite different, our mindsets surrounding living your healthiest and best life are very similar. Yelina brings such a young, fresh perspective on truly doing work that lights up your soul! At just 24 years old, Yelina has already started her corporate career and then really leaned into listening to her inner voice (which was driving her in a different direction than where she was headed with her corporate career), and she made the bold move to leave her 9-5 and step into her wellness business full-time! 

In this episode, Yelina tells us her story of her road to becoming a vegan, and how her mindset played a huge role in helping her leave that steady 9-5 job/income to step fully into her passion as a wellness and lifestyle coach. One of my most favorite quotes from Yelina in this interview is when talking about following your dreams, Yelina says, “It’s okay to be scared, but it’s not okay not to try”. BOOM!!

In this week’s episode, I had the fun and great pleasure of interviewing the magnetic Tara Romano. I met Tara at a women’s empowerment event in California about 4 years ago. Tara lit up the room with her fun energy, beautiful spirit and conviction of loving your body as you are today! I participated in a break-out session during this event where Tara took up through an inspirational talk and dance session where we got to explore our feminine energy and start to tune-in to the amazing women that we are! 

When you start to see the magic that Tara brings to her audiences and her dance classes, I just know that you are going to want to be a part of this incredible and much-needed movement that Tara is creating in this world!! 

About Tara: 

A serial entrepreneur, performer, teacher, personal development junkie, and unshakable optimist dedicated to helping you unleash and let go so that you can become the best version of yourself. I have an insatiable curiosity about what it means to live life to the fullest. Whether it’s hosting Tone & Tease masterclasses around the world, speaking at conferences, or hosting my Your Life Unleashed Events to help you MOVE through those limiting beliefs, I want you to know, being perfectly imperfect is something to celebrate! 

So join me as we navigate this crazy beautiful thing called life because nothing inspires me more than seeing my tribe thrive.

In today’s episode, I had the great honor of interviewing Victoria Volk. Victoria is an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Holy Fire Reiki Master, and an End of Life Doula. 

Victoria shares with us her childhood grief of losing her father when she was only 8 years old, and how she “lost faith” at that time. Victoria goes on to share with us her journey to finding her faith again, and “coming home to (herself)”. Victoria has such a tender way of asking such thought-provoking questions like, “What pains have you not addressed?” and “How do you honor a loved one’s life?”. Some of my most favorite quotes from Victoria in this episode are: “Grief is our pandemic”, “We only heal to the depths that we’re willing to go”, and Be a heart with ears”. 

We encourage you to reach out to a health professional if you need support. Mental health has been brought to the forefront during the Covid-19 pandemic, and there are people and communities, and groups where you can find support. You are not alone. 

So grab your favorite cozy beverage and settle in for the beautiful magic of Victoria Volk. 

Victoria of The Unleashed Heart is a creative and strategic intuitive guide who connects hurting hearts with their authentic, soulful selves to release suffering and thrive. Victoria is a self-published author, Adv. Cert. Grief Recovery Specialist®, Usui and Karuna Reiki Master, YouMap® Cert. Coach and End-of-Life Doula. She aims to use her strengths and skills to help those struggling with loss, as she intimately understands the impact of grief on our lives. Grief and trauma flipped her life upside down more than 30 years ago and she spent the past three-plus decades hoping she'd get to where she is now - thriving. Victoria wishes the same for all grievers - it is possible!

When she’s not helping hurting hearts, you can find Victoria enjoying quiet living with her husband, 3 children, and pooch in rural ND.

Are you ready for some energy!?! I know I am and that is one of the reasons why I have invited the incredibly inspiring Emily Hollister onto my podcast today! I met Emily through the magic of Instagram! Emily’s name on instagram is “fabover40healthandfitness”, and being a 44 year-old woman myself (and my love for health and fitness!), I just knew that I had to reach out to Emily and meet her!! Emily brings such a passion for her work into every conversation that we’ve had, and in today’s episode Emily really shines the light on her WHY. Emily comes with a 23 year background as an occupational therapist and what she has witnessed happening to people’s health and wellbeing over those years has helped inspire her to do the amazing work that she is doing today. 

In today’s episode, we talk about being a woman in her 40s, Emily’s life as a single mom to two teenage sons and being an entrepreneur all amidst the year that we’ve just all had with the Covid pandemic. We talk a lot about mindset and how we must nurture our minds, bodies and spirits in order to be in a state of balanced well-being. 

Emily talks about her history with an eating disorder, “finding herself”, the importance of personal development, and following your dreams. So, sit back, grab your favorite beverage and get energized with Emily Hollister!! 

I'm Emily , the ENERGIZER Health/Fitness Coach. I've always had a huge passion for health, fitness, and helping others live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. I help women over 40 lose weight, feel more energized and confident to get their MOJO back with a fitness program tailored to your fitness level and without dieting!! 

As a 45 year old single mom of 2, working 23 years as an Occupational Therapist in skilled nursing, I know how stressful, busy, crazy and hectic life can get. While trying to

juggle all of our daily responsibilities, we put ourselves and our health to the back burner. We end up developing unhealthy lifestyle habits including poor diet and inactivity that result in being overweight, lacking energy, feeling overwhelmed, and stressed. Over time, this unhealthy lifestyle can result in medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure requiring medications. I have seen the medical profession prescribe medications and never addressing the unhealthy lifestyle habits that may be contributing to the medical condition. 

When I first got into health and fitness, I approached it very wrongly. I would go on fad diets and overwork myself at the gym. I thought healthy eating was calorie restriction, weighing foods and cutting out healthy carbs. In turn, I did not feel my optimal best, and my weight fluctuated too much because of different diet routines and burning myself out at the gym. I was always feeling the need to "cheat" and I was not gaining energy. It came to a point where I didn’t want to do these diets anymore. 

I decided to go into personal fitness training, since working out was always one of my passions! I learned how to workout smarter for myself and how to help my clients workout the best way for them, with 30 minute at home workouts. Then I decided to go into nutrition. I wanted something that taught me and my clients how to make healthy eating into a lifestyle, how to eat without restriction, without calorie counting and without needing “cheat” days! I wanted to feel my best and treat my body with respect! 

Through my Fab Over 40 program, I want to help others realize that it’s okay to take time for yourself and your self care by developing better eating habits, taking time for fitness, and learning how to find balance in your life. It will result in a happier and healthier you, which will overflow in your relationships with spouse, family, friends, co workers, etc. 

During the past year, I decided to follow my passion of helping others become the best version of themselves, prevent these chronic conditions I have seen over the past 23 years, and became a fitness coach to represent this amazing program that gave me my MOJO back. I am now offering everyone access to this amazing fitness and nutrition program that has helped get me in the best shape, healthier, stronger, more energized and confident than ever. I just turned 45 and feel 25!! 

My fitness program includes 1 year access to over 1800 workouts for all fitness levels, from 10-60 minutes, all streamed through any device!! As your coach, I will help you find a fitness and nutrition program that fits your needs, goals, and lifestyle Nutrition plans with recipes included, and part of my accountability team, which helps keep people motivated. You are never alone in your journey. 

I started a YouTube channel called Energize with Emily. I want to motivate, inspire, empower, and help others lead a healthy life through music, motivation and motion, and show people that fitness is fun!! My YouTube Channel will have 10-20 min beginner and intermediate workouts with little to no equipment. I will be releasing my first E Book cookbook in the next month, including quick, easy, inexpensive, and healthy meal plans and recipes that helped me lose weight, keep it off, and have more energy!!

Are you ready to feel FAB again?
