Today we chat with Ellen Britton who is a beautiful wise woman, a well known singer-songwriter, guitarist to many of the stars in Nashville and also in our humble opinion, the best guitar teacher around! This a lively and enlightening conversation where we cover many topics.

Ellen thinks that being on the planet for 70 years gives her insights but we argue that she always has been a wise, talented, patient and overall special human being. Ellen shares her unique perspective that her role as a teacher is to be sensitive to the vulnerability of learning. Her goal is to share the truth in a helpful way. Truth and kindness are her philosophy.

As a guitar teacher, she is patient and encouraging and offers lessons at all levels of players. She is positive but not in a condescending way. She feels that part of her role is to re-balance the natural insecurity that happens in the learning process. We learn best when we are relaxed and at ease and so to create a positive feeling to help her students feel more open is a big part of Ellen’s approach. A good life philosophy is to see what is working in life, rather then what is not working and to support rather than push down. Just because you think or believe something, doesn’t make it so. There is an inner critic that is talking inside the head and so Ellen feels her approach is to be the opposite.

ELLEN BRITTON is a veteran musician with decades of performing, writing, recording, and teaching experience. Touring with Martina McBride, Pam Tillis, Jo Dee Messina, Sara Evans, Lari White, Maura O’Connell, Tanya Tucker, and appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The View, The Rosie O’Donnell Show, and The Today Show, Ellen is the quintessential Nashville musician. Moreover she is a thoughtful and smart woman making her a wise women who’s voice can only serve us in the most positive way.  Moreover she is a thoughtful and smart, making her a wise women who’s voice on this episode and in the world can only serve us in the most positive way.

Jana opens up about the profound experience of being with her mother during her final months. She shares the challenges, the healing, and the transformation that unfolded between herself and her vibrant, complex mother. Despite having many reasons to feel anger, Jana discovered that loving her mother was ultimately easier and more healing than holding onto resentment.

Jana discusses the powerful role that Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work has played in her journey. She reflects on the dysfunction and abuse she endured as a child, her mother’s inability to care for her, and the unique pain of having a mother who was seen as a ‘guru’ by many, yet struggled deeply in her role as a parent.

Through exploring her family history and lineage, Jana has gained a deeper understanding of both her mother and herself. The conversation also touches on:

*The importance of intuition and learning to trust your own voice

*The fear of being seen and heard

*How singing lessons have become a part of Jana’s healing process

*The joy and connection she felt as her voice began to open, sensing her mother’s happiness in that moment

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of healing, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to break cycles and reclaim your voice.

You may not have control over everything in your life, but you always have control over what you focus on and what you choose to believe.
Your perspective is uniquely yours. When you realize that everyone has a different point of view—a different seat in the stadium—you naturally become softer and less controlling.

In our culture, we’re addicted to comfort. This means our “discomfort muscle” isn’t always strong. When you find yourself in uncomfortable situations, ask: What do I know for sure?
You’ll discover that, in truth, we don’t know much for certain—except for this present moment.

Often, the things we worry about or plan to do never actually happen. Many people ask, “Why is this happening to me?” Try shifting your mindset to:
Life isn’t happening to me, it’s happening for me.
There’s a saying:: What you focus on grows.
I also like:: What you focus on comes into focus.
And remember: The harder you grip, the more you slip.

It’s not just about seeing the positive or the glass half full. It’s about clarity—seeing things exactly as they are, and recognizing what is alive and true right now.

A favorite quote from Maya Angelou:
“If you can’t change something, change your attitude about it.”

Ready to ditch the guilt and get real about what’s on your plate? In this episode, Dr. Eddi Kenny (naturopathic doctor) and I (your go-to spiritual wellness coach) are breaking down the real talk on cravings, energy, and why your food choices matter more than you think. If you can’t pronounce an ingredient, your body probably can’t either! We’ll spill the tea on the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, explain why food quality counts, and remind you-no shame, just awareness.

We’re serving up the truth about those top 10 most craved foods (hello, pizza and chocolate!) and why they keep you coming back for more. Plus, we’ll share easy swaps (almond flour crackers, anyone?) and prep hacks to make real food doable, even on your busiest days. Remember: food is medicine, veggies are your vibe, and convenience shouldn’t run your health. Let’s turn “junk” into joy, one bite at a time!

Knowing what your values are is an important thing to understand about yourself. Congruency in your values and actions is key to happiness and creating the life you want. And our values change as we go through life.  As we get older, we have to listen to our bodies and place value on our health.

Everything Old is New Again. There is nothing new under the sun as we kind of keep recycling information over and over. Yet it does seem to be brand new because it comes through different vessels and is heard by new ears. Kind of like a fresh coat of paint on some old paint, it just freshens it right back up. What goes around, comes around. You could have twenty different books saying, “be here now,” in twenty different ways. We are constantly processing the world around us. We can’t sit on anyone else’s perch. We understand and hear the same things with new ears at different times in our lives.
