  • Ep 9: The Invitation of 2020

    "Tough times don't come out of nowhere. They come precisely when you're ready to grow and be more of who you really are. You're stronger and more capable than you know." -Marie Forleo

    2020 continues to be a year of great change, shedding light on so many of the institutions and structures that we've build our society and lives on that are actually unsustainable and harmful to ourselves and our planet. 2020 asks us to see and feel the discomfort of that. It asks us to think about what needs to be burned away so that new growth can occur.

    How are you leaning into the discomfort of 2020? What systems are you burning in your life? What practices are you digging in to to support the transition to something new?

  • Episode 8: Unlock Your Self Compassion Superpower

    DAY 4: SELF COMPASSION SUPERPOWER


    Would you ever say to a friend, or even a stranger, the things you say to yourself in your mind? We can be so mean to ourselves and we can get so hooked by these unhappy thoughts. This practice is the ultimate in self-acceptance, a path to building greater inner strength so that you can thrive.

    HERE’S THE SELF-COMPASSION BREAK (this takes under 5 minutes)

    Step 1: NOTICE: Notice when you are hooked by a stressful thought, a sense of suffering, a spiral or discomfort. Say to yourself “This is a moment of suffering” or “This hurts” or “This is stressful”

    Step 2: CONNECT: Think about others in this moment who might be feeling the same thing. Connect to those who are also suffering. Try saying “I’m not alone”, “Everyone experiences this, just like me”, “this is how it feels when people struggle”

    Step 3: REASSURE: Give yourself a reassuring touch, a hand to the heart, a hug, a pat on the leg, anything that helps you to feel reassured. Then start saying reassuring words to yourself, similar to what you might say to a child “It’s ok sweetheart”, “This is hard” “It’s ok to feel suffering” “may I accept myself as I am today”

    As you reassure and say these things to yourself, take deep breaths and keep going until you can feel a little more reassured.

  • Episode 7: Unlock your Teleportation Superpower

    Day 3: TELEPORTATION SUPERPOWER


    Today’s challenge helps you to TELEPORT yourself into you most wild and free joyful moments every single day by following your path with your core desired feelings. 

    TELEPORT IN 3 easy steps

    Grab your journal

    STEP 1: This about your perfect day. This can be one you’ve had in the past or one that you want to create. Maybe even think about a perfect day on election day. This doesn’t have to be reality. If you would wake up in an ocean hut in Bali - then write about that, the colors, the textures, the way of being. Use lots of adjectives. It’s in your mind, so go with what would be perfect for you. In your journal write about it with as much detail as you can. 

    STEP 2: Circle all the adjectives and feeling words that really resonate and come up with one word that describes that feeling. Try to be specific - so instead of happy or joyful say “light, earthy, connected, calm, etc.”

    STEP 3: Take your one word and brainstorm micro actions that you can do to feel that way. Tiny little steps that can be done today, right now. Is it music, a cuddle with a pet, a walk in the woods? Prioritize doing those things and know it’s connecting you to that perfect day.

  • Episode 6: Unlock Your Regeneration Superpower

    Day 2: Regeneration Superpower


    Today’s challenge helps you to build your regeneration superpower to cut off the old stressful thoughts and stories and grow new more supportive ones.

    REGENERATE NEW THOUGHTS IN 3 easy steps

    Set up your paper with a line down the middle of the paper. Write fear/thoughts at the top of the first column and affirmation/new thoughts on the other column.

    STEP 1: Let the fears flow first. Brain dump and let it out. What are your most hidden concerns about a situation, about yourself in that situation, etc. write down all your future and past fears and thoughts. This can be something coming in the future that is giving you anxiety or a past experience you just can’t seem to let go of. 

    STEP 2: Get quiet: Get quiet. Take a few deep breaths. Have a sip of water or your tea. Ask yourself, what am I feeling when I’m thinking these thoughts? Are they true? Can I absolutely know they are true? Am I willing to consider seeing things a little differently?

    STEP 3: Re-Write your Fear: You can try turning your fear into an affirmation. How might you be able to see and know it differently? You can try turning your statement around on yourself. This is especially helpful when you’re mad/angry/frustrated at another. In the IG TV video I share how “She hurt me” becomes “I hurt myself” because of all that I was thinking. Try substituting “I” with “they” or changing your statement into the opposite “She hurt me” to “She helped me” or “she didn’t hurt me”.

    Today's challenge helps you to build your rubber girl super power.


    I'm rubber, you're glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you and I'm sending you love with it too!

  • 4. Unlock Your Superpower to Feel Good

    Unlock your superpower for joy! This is the Podcast version of the recent challenge I put out to the Instagram Community.


    Anxious, scared, nervous? Fearful, angry, short with those you love? Feeling totally off your rocker? Totally, me too! It's a strange and wild time in the U.S. (and the world) and we are all feeling the affects one way or another.

    But, this does not mean we should not feel GOOD. I fact, it's the opposite. This is a time we should be double down on feeling good.

  • What is Wild Women Wild Soul Podcast?

    What we dwell upon we become. Creating a community of vibrant, happy, wild women has been my dream for years. This podcast is one element of creating that dream. Of creating a space where we can come together and share what is on our hearts and minds. Learn now skills together so we can see things differently, process our big emotions, and create more emotional freedom to see our worlds challenges in new and more empowering ways. 

    My life has taken me on some amazing adventures, but it’s not always been an easy journey. I’ve been burnt out, run down, depressed, anxious, and ready to toss in the towel many times. I’ve been lost and wandering alone in the forest before (literally and figuratively), ready to give up. But over the past years I’ve learned to cultivate hope, you and resilience within myself.

    Are you feeling like you’ve lost your way on this crazy ride in life? Feeling burned out or overwhelmed by the state of your home, let alone the state of our world right now.

    I get you. I understand. I’ve been there and frankly, still go there. All this can feel big and scary when we first come to it, but with some support from eachother you’ll see how much power you truly have, learn to trust yourself again, and gain greater connection to yourself, the people and the world around you.

  • 2. Rise with Ease with Kat Johnson

    If you're like me right now, finding time to calm your nerves is imperative..but it's hard with the change of routine to figure out when and how. I've experienced what many have, kids at home, working from home, furlough and future loss of income, chaos in the uncertainty, etc. My morning routine has been saving my butt big time. Instead of hiding in netflix, worry and cookies I'm spending time in the morning to feel and process what is happening. Meditation, journal, walking, gratitude.

    This conversation with Kat Johnson came out of a desire to share with others critical tools that can support your emotional and mental well being right now. This is the first in what I hope to be multiple little conversations over the next few weeks.

    In additional I felt inspired to restart my Facebook Group - UPLIFT for passionate change makers (link in the comments) to share my journey and hopefully provide tools and resources for those who may be feeling a bit out of control right now. It's not that I've got it all figured out, but I am in a much better place now than I was 3 years ago and I love sharing.

    I believe that when you bring calm into a crazy situation you can help diffuse all the fear, panic and anxiety that is around you. But you have to be able to create that calm. I'm someone who tends to pick up on the energy of those around me (if they are spun up I am spun up). Over the past few years I've been learning how to claim my own emotions and energy and master them in a way so that I don't get so flooded and overwhelm by what I'm feeling. This has been a practice - mindfulness, meditation, spiritual practice, questioning my thoughts and much more. Being a boss of my mornings has been key.
