When you follow your Intuition…is that the same thing as following your heart, or going with your gut instinct? 

In this week’s episode Sarah and Shelly discuss what intuition is and how we can tune into it more. We explore whether it's possible to actively work on living more intuitively and swap stories of times we followed our intuition and made scary leaps of faith. Is your intuition telling you to listen to this episode?

Ways to Make a Lasting Gratitude Practice

With America's holiday Thanksgiving coming up gratitude is everywhere, but how can we make a lasting gratitude practice?

There are many different ways to bring gratitude into our lives. By thinking, speaking or writing what we are grateful for can be a jump start to a better day.

The way we start our day carries on with us. So why not wake up and make gratitude a new practice?

Gratitude can be as simple as speaking I am grateful...I am grateful...I am grateful… and allowing all that you are grateful for to come to you.

We have learned gratitude can be a powerful counter to complaining.

Join us as we explore how gratitude has made a lasting effect in our lives and we share how it can transform your life too!

Love,

Sarah and Shelly

Writers! We have to deal with so many hurdles, but possibly the most difficult one of all is the one that stops us from writing anything at all.

In this week's episode, Shelly and Sarah discuss writer's block and try to get some perspective on why it happens and what we can do to overcome it. 

Let's dig in find out how to use writer's block as a tool to benefit us instead of letting anything stop us from writing! 

What if you didn’t have to depend on others for love? What if you start a practice right now of giving yourself all the love and approval your heart desires?

Listen in while Sarah reads her blog article on 6 practical ways to start loving and accepting yourself right now. There's no need to change anything, we can love ourselves just exactly as we are. And it turns out there are some pretty cool side benefits to this practice!

The Healing Journey and Where to Begin?

Healing is such a vast topic. Here on Voices Rising Podcast, we explore healing through different aspects of our lives.

From healing through feeling, which can be a difficult thing. But healing our past pains is a segway towards mending the cracks in our hearts. Self-compassion, self-kindness, and softening are ways we can awaken healing in our lives.

Speaking our truth can be a possible way to heal the wounds we place around our upper back and chronic neck pain. We have found the truth is an essential way towards healing.

And rest and sleep are ways to replenish and allow healing in its deepest form.

There are many tools we can access during our healing journey, like meditation, breath, thoughts, and many more self-help tools. With the help of mindfulness and Yoga, we can travel into healing our mind, body, and soul.

Healing begins here at this moment wherever you are. We don’t have to wait for what we “think” is the right timing to begin our healing journey. It’s time to let go of waiting and walk towards healing for the highest good of our lives.

We are here on this healing journey and know you are not alone in your pain. We are here with you.

Love,

Shelly and Sarah

Fall is the season of transition and letting go. In this episode Shelly and Sarah discuss living in the mountains, parenting, pets, wildlife, elk mating, yoga...

We also dig into the question: 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑤𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑔𝑜 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛?

Are there things we're holding onto that aren't really serving us? Perhaps it's something that once was good and healthy but it no longer is.

Perhaps we need to allow ourselves to move on from a job, a relationship or let go of an old habit. Maybe we need some work on letting go of trying to be in control, or letting go of fear–even just a tiny bit. And what are some strategies for actually learning how to let go of things rather than hold on.

It can be so beautiful and freeing to simply let things go, to let them be.

Like the trees in the fall releasing their leaves and allowing them become compost for next year's growing season, we can also release what is no longer serving us and allow those things we let go of become the rich wisdom and experiences from which we can launch our next venture or idea.

So, put on a sweater, make yourself a cup of tea and get ready to dive deep with us into all things fall. 🍁

Come along with Sarah and Shelly, as they dive deep into the editing and publishing process of both of their books. Years stacked upon years’ worth of work is finally coming to fruition! These ladies share the nitty-gritty details of what it takes to birth a book.

Learn what it takes to be a writer with an inspired mind and soul.

Get inspired to write and when you aren’t inspired look for inspiration inside of literature.
