Hello lassies and lads. Welcome to Coaching and a Cup of Tea with Mummabear. You are going to love this episode. Can you feel like my energy I am like jacked up today because I have the one and only a breeze shard? Justin okay, you can see him no but he is showing us his muscles. But what you cannot see if you were watching this video is his brilliant mind. Okay. Rashard is one of the most genuine, caring, authentic people that I've ever made. And also, he is my trainer, who helps me with my brain mostly. And him and I have so many discussions at our 5am workouts about what working out does for my brain. I feel like sometimes we have this idea. You know, we want to lose weight, we want to have the six pack we want all of these things. And I coach mostly women to work out and push them into that section of their life only because I have felt the massive shift in my brain and my energy by moving my body and that's why I have asked Brichard to come on today and really talk about what does it look like to work with him.

Doing the work of feeling your feelings is literally the most courageous work that people can do. It's so important to learn how we think and how to choose thoughts that are in line with what we want to believe about the world. But you cannot think your way out of a past experience that is almost like holding you hostage to that remote moment that you choose to do something for yourself, it is never wasted. It's never going backwards is never not worth it. Because it leads you to the moment, everything changes.

Hello lassies. Welcome to coaching and a cup of tea with Mama Bear. And I have a very special guest with me, I'm so excited to have Jess Johnson, who is joining us from Hawaii. And we are so excited to get this episode done. Because I did not have power this morning. We have another hurricane in Florida, and the power has came back. So we're like, oh, we gotta like start this podcast episode. And get it done for you guys. This is season eight of the podcast, which is insane. And so exciting. And this whole season we've been talking about, you know, why do women go on retreats? What are some of the things we do on retreats, we've been talking a lot about what Jess says, you know, that below the neck stuff, right? Like what is happening below the neck, sort of that mind body connection piece that I think, you know, we can tend to forget about or put second. And so I'm very excited to have Jess come on. And we're going to be talking about emotions and feelings and things that are stored in the body. But I just feel like it's something really important that people need to know about.

Melissa Wiggins  Hello lassies Welcome to coaching and a cup of tea with Mummabear. And also Sue McCarroll today, one of my best friends in the entire world. You are very lucky to get to hear from this Lassie because she has sunshine in a cup. And even though you can't see her, she's just smiling massive, which is who she is. I am so excited to have her on my podcast for season eight. Season II is all about retreats, self care, how do we take care of our bodies and our mind and Sue Macau as the Lassie to explain to us how we do that. But before we get into that, Sue, why don't you tell us the five things that we need to know about Sue McCarroll?

Sue McCarroll  Okay, I feel like this is right in line with our friendship, because I'm so good at promoting other people and not so great about promoting myself. So I feel like it's just perfect that yeah, for those of you that don't know about Melissa, and my friendship, we like kind of challenge each other. And well, actually, she challenges me, I think I challenge you to in the health front, but we could talk about that later. But she always seems to like to throw me into these situations like 'Oh, go speak on this stage. Or don't worry, like there's a top 10 motivational speaker there. No worries, don't worry.' So it feels just about right to start this podcast off. So five things that they should know about me.

Hello, lassies and lads. Welcome to Coaching and a Cup of Tea with Mummabear. I have a very special guest here today. I've never had anybody on the podcast, who is an expert in the way she is about gut health. She is the queen of it. And I'm completely obsessed with her and so excited. She's here. Rachel, would you introduce yourself to the amazing listeners on the podcast?

Rachel Scheer  01:15

Yeah, and Coach Mummaear, it is an honor to be on your podcast here today. You're just a ball of joy. And I'm excited to talk all things gut health, because I truly believe you know, our health really is the foundation for our success. Whether we're a mama, whether we're an entrepreneur, and a mama, which is I know a lot of you ladies who are listening to this podcast, but a little background about myself, I am a functional medicine, dietitian, not a lot of people know what that is. But functional medicine essentially means root cause. So I help people get to the root cause of their chronic health issues, whether that's hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, gut issues, and heal instead of just deal and reach their optimal level of health, essentially. But instead of using medication, when you hear medicine, you tend to think medicine. It's more of a lifestyle-based approach. So holistic mind and body, I always ask the question, why do we have this problem in the first place? And what do we need to do to restore function?

Hello lassies and lads, welcome to Coaching and a Cup of tea with Mummabear. I have a very special guest here today who actually did a very, very good Scottish accent. And maybe he will do it for us. Dr. Russ Kennedy, welcome to my podcast.

Dr Russ Kennedy  00:56

Oh, it's nice to be here. And at some point in the podcast, I'll break into my scar. Right now, I'm currently Canadian. So we'll just stick with that for now.

Melissa Wiggins  01:05

All right, we got it. So I wanted to have you on the podcast because I read your incredible book anxiety, our aid anxiety prescription. I'm just fascinated by all of your work. And I just really wanted for the audience to hear about the way you're trying to change the way people look at anxiety, because that's what this book is really doing.

Dr Russ Kennedy  01:30

Yeah. Yeah, it's really about, you know, so much of anxiety therapy involves changing the thoughts of your mind, right? And what if the thoughts of your mind are the problem? What if they're just the symptom? So you know, like you if you have, if you have a viral infection, you have a fever, the fever isn't the problem. It's the viral infection, right? So, so what happens, I believe in anxiety is we get these old traumas from typically from childhood, but they can be inherited, you know, there's a bunch of ways that we get trauma into our system. And that trauma sort of reverberates that trauma energy reverberates inside of our body.

Lindsay:  Sometimes people will reach out to me when they're thinking about applying for coaching masters. And though they will ask me, they will want to know, I always think it's a funny question, they will want to know, kind of exactly how much work is required? Like, how much of my time is this gonna take, which I understand some of them have other jobs or, you know, coaching is like a part time thing, or, you know, whatever, there's some some circumstance in their life that they're trying to figure out, like, how much time do I need to set aside? And I always have a hard time answering that, because I know there are people like you who show up who take the homework very seriously, who probably spend more time than the average person in the mastermind, really thinking about it and going very deep, and maybe not every single week, and I don't even give homework every single week, but just really going all in right diving in saying what I'm gonna get everything I can out of this. I'm willing to go all the way there. And then I know there are people who come and it's a little more surface level. And they're like, Yeah, that was great. And, you know, probably don't spend as much time as you did. And I'm curious what like, what are the thoughts that you have about not even my mastermind, but just anything that you go into? Like that any? You know, other masterminds, other spaces that you're in? What are your thoughts about it that help you to show up that way?

Melissa: So I think, you know, I think when I sent the money to you, when I paid for the six months, I instantly was like, I'm showing up big, right? Because this is an investment. And I'm investing into a kada looked at coaching masters, like I'm building a house, right? And like, this was like the floor of the house, right? Like this is going to be what is going to stabilize my business. And I want to be known as like the best life coach for mom entrepreneurs. But in order to be that, I'm going to have to learn how to answer and ask very good questions.

Lindsay: Hello, I'm so happy to have you here today. Can you introduce yourself? Tell them who you are and a little bit about what you do.

 Melissa:
Finally, I get to be on the podcast that I have listened to every episode, and have stopped you for so long. I'm like so excited. My name is Melissa Wiggins. But everybody calls me Mama bears specifically coach Mama Bear. Because I have so many children. I an entrepreneur who coaches mom, entrepreneurs to have balance and joy in their life today, not waiting for the weekend. And I'm an advocate for being a business woman who loves her business, but also loves to hang out with her kids.

Lindsay:  I love that one of my favorite things when I have people on, especially people that have been in my mastermind, and that I've seen do the work on this is when you can just confidently are like this is who I am. And this is exactly what I do. Because I know it was something that you kind of worked on for a little bit, which we'll get into. But first I want to ask you, I feel like this might be with you a loaded question. Because in my mind when I watch you and I watch your watch on Instagram, and your stories and all the things, and I know a little bit of your story, it feels like you've lived 20 lives, you have just so many stories. So I'm curious. I don't even know if this is going to be a simple answer. But I'm really curious how you got into coaching?

Melissa: Sure, it's a great question I have had maybe lives, I feel like I'm an old soul, you know, like, I'm the oldest of five kids. And I feel like when you're the oldest, like you tend to grow up maybe a little bit faster. And there was like a lot of things that happened in my childhood that sort of made me grow up really quickly. And I feel like I just got super responsible, super organized super quickly, which means that like my life looks like I'm like a 60 year old already. But I got into coaching because I have been coached mentored for about 13 years. And I was transitioning out of my last job, which was the executive director slash CEO of my nonprofit that I started. And I was like trying to figure out like, what I was going to do, and I was talking with my coach, because I've had a coach for a long time.
