We've all heard about Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice of arranging pieces in living spaces to create balance with the natural world. We've also heard about Marie Kondo, who has introduced us to the concept of only having things that spark joy around us. And then, there is Jeannette Cieszykowski, who is marrying the two and adding "intention" to the practice.

By now, we all know that everything is energy. Then, wouldn't it make sense for us to understand how the energy of our environment influences us and learn to work with it?

What is your impression of "midlife"? Oftentimes, midlife is perceived through a lens of victimhood and illustrated as a season of life you have to suffer and survive through.

Is that really true though?
What if we shift a paradigm and start seeing midlife as the most magical season of your life? What if we learn from those around us who are embracing how amazing midlife can be?

In this episode, Lindsay de Swart shares her personal experience and wisdom as she lives through her magical midlife. Lindsay is a mother of 3, Shamanic Coach, Energy Medicine Practitioner, Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, Podcast Host, Women's Circle Leader and also a Horse Whisperer. One of her missions is to help midlife women ignite and rekindle their 'inner spark' so they can fulfill their potential after age 50!

We all know that self-love is a must for our well-being, so we've been doing all sorts of things to love ourselves better. But do you trust yourself? Do you trust yourself enough to face your biggest fear that's been hanging in the back of your subconscious mind?

Whatever "the thing" is for you, chances are that it is preventing you from living your most abundant life. And we need you to heal and release the block so that you can shine your brightest. When you overcome the fear and courageously heal yourself, the entire collective humanity also heals.

In this episode, a therapist, coach, podcast host, Tanya Allaire, returns to the podcast and shares her recent journey of letting go of "the thing" for her. And an amazing side effect is that now she is able to be a way shower for others on their journeys.
