  • Episode 68 – Patricia Engelking – Sexual Authenticity Coach

    What is a sexual authenticity

    coach?

    Why is it so important for us

    to find and know our true authentic sexual self?

    What can be gained in our relationship with ourselves, our partners and all relationships when we are able to peel away the limiting beliefs, judgments, assumptions, “shoulds”, etc., that we catch and have instilled in us.

    “Sex isn’t good or bad, it

    just is” 

    There is a broad range of what sex and sexuality looks like and includes. Does it fell good, right, authentic to you? How can we get to a place of feeling comfortable not only answering that question but asking it in the first place. That is what Patricia helps coach and facilitate.

    Patricia shares about her

    story of being in a 25 year unintentional abusive marriage, maintaining her
    desired role as a faithful wife. And then the year that followed as she takes a
    very personal journey that brings her to where she is today as a transformation
    and sexual authenticity coach.

    She talks about her book and

    the significance of the title as it relates to her journey, wherein she shares
    the details of her life and how it all has prepared her for the work and life
    she lives today.

    Join us for a very

    intriguing, and I think important, conversation.

  • Episode 66 – Emily Vikre of Vikre Distillery

    I love conversations like this! Emily Vikre, and a few words of input from Joel Vikre, share not only about the care, quality and complexity they put into their spirits (gin, vodka, whiskey and aquavit) – but Emily also shares about her growing up in Duluth and her summers in Norway. We dive a little into our food culture, food policy and positive psychology.

    The story of how Vikre came to be is both inspired and unexpected! I love how they create an atmosphere of ease that welcomes you to sit, sip and experience your drink – and hang out for a while.

  • Episode 65 – Paul Bergstrom of Freeflow Jin Shin Jyutsu

    Paul

    shares his powerful experience with this work helping him clear his own plantar
    fasciitis that he had been dealing with for 2 years.  After another encouraging experience he
    became a practitioner of this modality.

    He shares

    a few different tools with us that we can use in our daily lives to help us
    support the balance of energy in our bodies, improve our energy level, our

  • Episode 64 – Lori Moerbitz – Health Benefits She Gained from Primal Living

    Lori has freed herself from the burden of diets and gym memberships while drastically improving her health. (Her weight loss was just a welcome side effect!)

    Lori was struggling to get answers from health care professionals to help her with her Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and had to take her health into her own hands. She now finds herself, years later, on the other side of a challenging health journey in great health, living and enjoying life, choosing to feel good and NOT stressing about or feeling deprived with her food and lifestyle.

    Her good health has her wanting to spread the word and help others find the same freedom.

    We talk about what the Primal lifestyle includes…
    Food, yes, but not JUST food. She shares her journey, how she eats and what she does to keep herself healthy; and how she works with others to support them in exploring primal living for themselves to see if it is a good fit.

  • Episode 62 – Live Simply With Kim Schlichting – She does much more than organize your STUFF!

    Wow, does she ever!

    Since 2005, Kim Schlichting has been supporting people in living simply, living with better fitting organization and SO much more! I had NO idea how big and broad the work of a professional organizer is!

    Everything from organizing a desk in a home or office, to helping downsize with intention after a divorce or a transition to assisted living – And these are just a few things Kim does.

    Helping people figure out how to live with intention, save time, money and with less stress and greater ease is what she does.

    Listen to gain a thorough understanding of the scope her work can take. She shares tips and suggestions to thinking about our own places in life we might simplify. “I’ve truly seen it all!” She approaches those she is working with, with non-judgment, compassion and creative solution-finding.

    We talk about health and how organization in our life and space… or in some cases lack there of… can effect us in real ways both positively and negatively.

    Don’t forget to listen for how to enter into her drawing for a $100 Visa gift card!
    (I KNOW right… how COOL is that!)

  • Episode 61 – Resolutions and goals – Why is this such a challenge – Holiday with Judy

    New year’s resolutions. 

    If it is true that 80% of New Year’s resolutions have “failed” by
    February, what might we consider or do differently to help us succeed?

    Sometimes we make a big resolution committing to big change

    and forget to drill down to the HOW we are going to support ourselves to
    succeed.

    I share some thoughts and suggestions around goals and

    resolutions. 

    And, my own story about how I… a very NON runner… became a

    runner.

  • Episode 60 – Having Guests with Dietary Needs – Holiday with Judy

    Food sensitivities, allergies and other dietary restrictions

    are much more common than they used to be.

    I share suggestions and strategies for those hosting parties with guests that have food needs and for those that have dietary restrictions.  I asked for input from those with dietary restrictions what they were most stressed or concerned about as they attend gatherings, what strategies they employ and what they might want people to know as they gather this holiday season or any other food sharing event.

    It can feel challenging for both the hosts and the attendees

    when food restrictions come into play. 
    I’ll talk about many things but open communication is key from both
    sides.

    Seasoned or newbie to food restrictions can be a process as we figure out how to make things as easy as possible.   I hope you find some ideas or greater understanding that help make food challenges less daunting.

    If you have any additional thoughts, questions or for a

    deeper dive into this discussion, don’t hesitate to comment below or send me an
    email.

    I’m also happy to speak individually or to a group about:

    • The difference between food allergies, sensitivities and Celiac Disease.
    • Food allergy safety training for anyone who serves food – i.e., restaurants, catering, church groups, etc.

  • Episode 59 – Lyle Wildes – Brain Coach – Part 2

    Lyle continues sharing his journey sharing what he learned from his research of the inmates who left prison and came back and those who left and never came back.

    He talks more about our brains. How they try to take care of us. How we need to watch them to help us live the life we want.

    “20 years growing up, 20 years messed up, 20 years locked up – but I never GAVE up!”

    That never giving up allowed him to learn about how the brain is the organ of behavior and that we have to change the brain in order to change our behavior.

    “unchecked by you, your brain could sabotage the very future you desire.”

    He shares examples of what that means along with his intriguing and powerful journey that led him to being a Brain Coach and the work he does today.

    Lyle works with individuals, as well as groups and organizations, to help identify core values and beliefs and to change neural landscape to make brain change.

    He is contracted through the courts and prisons, working to help people who’s lives are in chaos move in a new direction. He continues to study and work to lower recidivism, and help people transition back into community.
