In today’s episode, the incredibly gifted Julie Nuzzo shares her magic with us.  When I first met Julie at HOME POWER YOGA in Cranford, NJ, there was an immediate connection.  Not only does Julie have such a beautiful, calming presence about her, but when I found out that she was also a nurse, BOOM!, there was that instant nurse bond!  

   Julie moves through the studio with such grace and elegance, as well as being firmly rooted in her knowledge and strength in the yoga practice.  Julie would many times be in class being the hands-on (pre Covid!) adjuster, coming around and gently helping you dive deeper into your pose.  Julie’s hands and heart are definitely not only a gift in the yoga studio, but Julie has also been an intensive care unit nurse for the last 16 years.  Julie’s knowledge from her nursing career and love for overall health helped inspire her to pursue her yoga teacher training. 

  In today’s episode, we talk about being an ICU nurse and the heart and soul, and self-care, that is so needed when working in such a high-stress and high-burnout area; as well as the lessons that Julie has learned as a nurse and how she brings those lessons onto her mat.  

  Once you hear Julie’s voice and her passion for nursing and yoga, I’m sure you will find yourself following her absolutely beautiful Instagram page and if you’re lucky enough to be in her area, potentially taking one of her yoga classes!  

  So, grab your cozy drink and get settled in for an episode that’ll calm your heart and your mind and inspire you to break out that yoga mat (or go buy one on Amazon!)  Enjoy!!!

  Here is some more information about the incredible Julie Nuzzo: 

Julie knows first hand the art of compassion in the medical industry. For the past 16 years, she has built her career in neonatal and pediatric critical care, but most recently spent 4 months of 2020 as a frontline worker in adult intensive care units. Fueling her passion for anatomy and overall health and well being, she decided that after practicing yoga for 14 years, she would learn how to teach it! Always a fitness and health enthusiast, she was forever changed by regular, disciplined practice and wants to share the impact power yoga has on our physical and mental health with as many as possible. In addition to currently working on becoming a nurse practitioner in psychiatry, she obtained her 200 hour Registered Yoga Alliance certification training in 2019.

In today’s episode, I had the great privilege and so much fun talking with and interviewing such a beautiful soul in this world, Liza Witonis!  Liza is a wealth coach and is helping people to “live a fulfilling life by healing your relationship with money”.  The subject of money seems like such a taboo topic to bring up that most people don’t even bring it up with the people closest to them (who know everything else about them).  In today’s episode, we dive into our beliefs about money, the feelings we attach to money, and why most of us tend to neglect to nurture our relationship with money.  

  I met Liza about 4 years ago through a business coach who I had hired at that time (and who now is a personal friend to both of us), and Liza was (and still is) a part of this wonderful business coach’s team.  Within minutes of meeting Liza, I know that she was someone whose energy I wanted to be around.  Talking with and getting to know Liza made me feel like I could be open and vulnerable with her and share my deepest fears, and hopes and dreams, and goals.  Liza is truly a gem of a human being to have in my life and I’m so excited to share her and her magic with my community!! 

Liza has been there, she was living a life where she didn’t know where her money was going. The end of the month would come, and she wouldn’t have enough money to buy groceries or pay her monthly bills…and she knew something had to change.

Wealth is so much more than what you think it is. It is the thread that connects your body, heart, soul, and emotion together. Liza teaches how to live a fulfilling life by healing your relationship with money, creating a money plan that allows you to save, build personal wealth, and pay off debt. She’ll dive deep into your financial hopes and dreams and create real wealth-building strategies to get you where you want to be. Being on her own financial journey for the last six years, Liza has increased her quality of life by having the best relationship she ever had with money (including conversations with her husband), and paying off over $320,000 in debt within six years. Now she teaches others how to do the same. She works with clients 1:1 via online and in-person coaching sessions.

In this week’s episode, I had the great privilege of interviewing a sweet, magnetic friend of mine, Gaby Abrams.  Gaby and I met through a mutual mindset mentor last summer, and then we formed a 4-woman mastermind with 2 of the other women we met in the group.  I’ve gotten to know Gaby through our every-other-week zoom calls, and the magic that Gaby is putting out into this world is truly transformational!!  

  Gaby is a rapid transformation coach for entrepreneurs.  In Gaby’s bio on IG, Gaby states that rapid transformation coaching “rewires your subconscious mind for success”.  

  In this episode, we dive into Gaby’s story of how she was a lawyer in NYC, and then moved into finance in NYC.  Gaby then went onto opening her own ETSY stationery and design business.  Through building her own business, Gaby started to realize the power of mindset as it relates to becoming successful, or not successful, at what one is doing in his/her life.  Gaby started learning about Rapid Transformation Coaching, and the rest is history!  

  So grab your cozy drink, sit back and enjoy the magic that is Gaby Abrams!!

In this week’s episode, I had the great honor of interviewing Lacey Magen Naematullah, BSN, RN.  Lacey is a Mentor for New Nurses, and the founder of “The Empowered Nurse”.  I met Lacey through the nursing world on social media.  I was drawn to Lacey’s magnetic personality, as well as her perspective on the nursing world.  I met up with Lacey in person a couple of years ago at a nurse meet-up that Lacey had organized.  It was great to meet her in person and get to take a yoga class together and enjoy great conversations with the people that were attending the meet-up!  I knew that Lacey was someone that I would definitely want to interview for my podcast, and have her share her insights and light with my audience!

  In today’s episode, we talk about being a nurse in today’s world, especially as we are living through the Covid pandemic.  We also talk about the journey of a new grad nurse, as well as the journey of a nurse years into her career.  We talk about the age old saying that “Nurses eat their young”, and Lacey’s perception on this long-standing belief, and how we could learn to pivot away from such a daunting notion.  We talk about Lacey’s hope for all nurses, and Lacey’s goals for her business, as well as her life as a nurse, wife and mother!  

  Enjoy!!

In this episode, I talk about the age-old New Year’s Resolutions, and how 80% of resolutions fail by mid-February.  Instead of thinking, we are a failure when we don’t obtain our goals as they relate to New Year’s Resolutions, I am doing a 21-day goal setting challenge currently in my free Facebook Group “Katie Carroll Coaching”.  We’re breaking our goals down into the first 21 days of the New Year.  

  Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2021!!!

XOXO,

Katie

In this incredible interview that I have with the hysterical, fun-loving, and magnetic Kathleen Ryan, we dive pretty deep into the topic of self-love, and what it feels like and looks like when we don’t love ourselves.  We also take a deep look inside mental illness, society’s perception of mental illness, and the journey that many go through on the way to mental wellness.

In this incredible interview that I have with the hysterical, fun-loving, and magnetic Kathleen Ryan, we talk a lot about yoga and the benefits of yoga in one’s life both on and off the mat; but we also dive pretty deep into the topic of self-love, and what it feels like and looks like when we don’t love ourselves.  We also take a deep look inside mental illness, society’s perception of mental illness, and the journey that many go through on the way to mental wellness.  No two people are alike, and so, how does comparing ourselves to others benefit us in trying to be who we were always destined to be?  

Kathleen is a wife and mom to two incredible boys, and she completed her yoga teacher training in 2020 and is now sharing her gift by teaching on-line yoga!!  I’ve taken her class and it’s just awesome!!  Highly recommend signing up for one of Kathleen’s classes!!
