This week on the Tuesday Tea podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with Master Encourager, Megan McAvoy Matte!

Megan is a mindset and manifestation coach for successful, high achievers who want to create the life, business, and relationship of their dreams. She started studying mindset 20 years ago when she witnessed 9/11 from her dorm room window and had bad PTSD. This is when Megan learned just how powerful the mind truly is, and how much we can change our own beliefs to create our ideal reality. Megan truly believes that you're always more powerful than you realize and her work is about helping people tune in and create the self awareness to become the best version of themselves. Manifestation is a bi-product of who you're being in the world, and as a yoga teacher she integrates a mind, body, spirit holistic approach into all of the work that she does with her clients and in her courses.

Topics discussed on this episode include: 

• Megan’s first hand witness of 9-11 twin towers collapsing 
• Megan’s path to healing 
• Processing Grief 
• How to decompress when you’re faced with trauma on top of trauma

Johanne helps Mom's figure out what direction they want to go in life outside of the corporate world and how to make it happen.  Johanne is a single Mom to her beautiful daughter Leah who is now all grown up and starting her own journey in the world. 

Johanne knows only too well what it is like trying to balance being a Mom and struggling to find her passion and purpose in life.  For 17 years she worked in HR climbing the corporate ladder trying to find her “place” and not really fitting in or fully enjoying what she did but also too afraid to seek what she really wanted.  At the start of the pandemic she took a leap of faith and started her own business after she worked with a coach to figure out her direction in life and has never looked back. 

Johanne has made it her mission to empower as many moms as possible to create the life they want without restriction and have some fun doing it.

Other topics discussed include: 

• Transitioning from the corporate world to business owner 
• How having a coach can change your life for the better

This week on Tuesday Tea, I’m sitting down with Pediatric Sleep Specialist, Paige Legault. 

Paige is the owner and founder of Parenting Practice of Colorado and certified Pediatric Sleep Specialist, proudly trained through Sleep Sense. Her extensive background in early childhood education as well as her history working with a wide variety of all types of families over the past 16 years allows her the confidence and ability to help each family and their unique circumstance. She's dedicated to supporting parents as they assist their babies and children in learning healthy sleep habits, which will set them up for a lifetime of healthy sleep.

Paige came into my family’s life at a dire time when we were quite literally loosing our minds. Our two year old (at the time) transitioned from her crib to her big girl bed, and was refusing to sleep let alone stay in bed. We were completely overwhelmed, and exhausted. 

Last December someone on Facebook posted a link to Page’s website and within 24 hours, we became her client. 

If you're considering having a little one, currently expecting or already have children this is the episode for you! 

Additional topics discussed:

• Sleep Sense Method
• The science behind children’s sleep
• Setting up healthy boundaries
• Understanding wake windows
• When to expect sleep regressions
• Sleep strategies that don’t break up the attachment and bond of snuggling your little one 

... and SO much more! 

It’s an honor and a joy to have Paige on the show, enjoy!

Podcast host, Business Owner and  #1 International Bestselling Author, Dominica Lumazar starts off the Tuesday Tea with Sweet D Podcast by speaking very openly about her recent experience with burnout and clinical depression...

Why is she sharing this? Because as business owners, and for many of us caretakers and especially parents, we often just show the outside world that we’re just, ‘fine’, keep smiling, and work through it all.

During the interviews for this first season of Tuesday Tea, there was a common theme of battling exhaustion and the feeling of burnout… 

Dominica wanted to share her experience battling depression, identity crisis and how she was able to eventually overcome burnout, and find joy.

But to do that, sometimes we have to completely breakdown to breakthrough… 

In this short episode you’ll learn some insightful resources, tips and tools that you can start using in your own life, TODAY. 

Enjoy!
