In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with real estate expert and author Kim Costa,  to talk about the powerful concept of living in your wheel house—creating a home and life that truly support who you are and where you're going.

We dive into her book and the question many people eventually face: Do you stay, go, or renovate? Sometimes our homes no longer reflect our lifestyle, priorities, or stage of life. When that happens, it can create stress, frustration, and even impact our overall well-being.

In this conversation, we explore how our living environment influences everything from stress levels to daily habits and emotional health. We also talk about how this concept goes far beyond real estate. The same mindset can apply to other areas of life, including relationships, decluttering, personal growth, and making intentional choices that align with what truly works for you.

If you’ve ever felt unsettled in your space, overwhelmed by clutter, or unsure whether your home still fits your life, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on creating an environment that supports your health, happiness, and future.

In this episode of Trotting Thru Life, I sit down with my friend Courtney to talk about LENS therapy, a gentle and unique form of neurofeedback designed to support the brain and nervous system.

We dive into what neurofeedback is, how the brain and nervous system impact everything from stress and anxiety to focus and overall wellness, and why many people feel “stuck” in survival mode without even realizing it. Courtney shares how LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) works differently from traditional neurofeedback by using extremely low-energy signals to help the brain reset and move out of chronic stress patterns in a simple, non-invasive way.

We also talk about the powerful connection between trauma, the nervous system, and healing, and why supporting the brain can be a missing piece in many wellness journeys.

If you’ve been struggling with burnout, anxiety, brain fog, or feeling like your body just won’t respond to the healthy habits you’re trying to build, this conversation may open your eyes to a new and hopeful path forward.

Be sure to share this episode with someone who could benefit from learning more about nervous system regulation and brain health.

We are talking all about an amazing wheat product that is out on the market with 32 grams of fiber! Say WHAT?!? You heard that correct my friends!

Colleen educates us on the difference in this wheat product and why fiber matters.

Keep in mind if you have a wheat or gluten allergy this is not for you, but if you're simply avoiding wheat because you think its healthier to choose gluten free (what episode 21) then you need to listen to this episode as well as 21.

And for those of you like my husband who think they can't eat bread because if the carbs, you also want to give this episode a listen and share it with your friends and family who think the same way!

The more you know...RIGHT?!?

Another episode in the miniseries "Wellness Myths Women Believe" and today we are talking about supplements.

Do you take supplements? Do you think it's all just some hype?

I know many "crunchy" mamas out there who think you don't need them, and you can get everything you need from your food. So if that' s you or someone you know, stick around and take a listen. I'd love to hear what you think after you listen.

Of course I am a huge supplement fan because they changed my life and I've also seen them change hundreds of others lives as well. So if you're not a fan, maybe you just weren't taking the right ones.
