On this episode Ariel talks about the amazing healing power of hot springs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are natural hot springs and there are hot springs that are in a resort, I’m going to recommend both because the minerals in the water are truly transformational and healing and address a lot of different health issues.
• There are different types of hot springs with different types of mineral concentrations, but most of us – and I hate to say it – are mineral deficient because the top soil that our food grows in has been depleted of minerals. Most of us don’t take mineral supplements, they take vitamins, but that’s not minerals. Sometimes we need to sit in water that has minerals in it.
• It’s really important to have the experience of soaking in hot springs. Not only can it help you relax, but it can also help address different health issues like insomnia, headaches, arthritis, back pain, heart health issues, diabetes issues, and it can also sometimes help people with MS.

BEST MOMENTS

“I took a friend to a springs and she had neck pain when she showed up and she didn’t have neck pain when she left.”
“There are books and websites out there that will give you guides to go to find natural hot springs.”
“The oldest hotel in the world is in Japan and they pipe mineral hot spring water into their hotel.”

On this episode Ariel talks about how exercise can help with mental, emotional, and physical issues as well as improve our mood

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Have you ever felt down, out of sorts, or in a negative space? Do you have a love partner with erectile dysfunction? Are your kids driving you crazy? Are you having trouble sorting out your thoughts or creating something? Do you experience depression or anxiety? All of these issues can be addressed with one simple activity: Regular exercise.
• You’re not a larger person because there’s something wrong with you or you have character defects, that’s a stereotype. A lot of people don’t necessarily want to do exercise because they want to relax after a tiring day at work, they might be busy, it’s hard to fit exercise into your life, but exercise can make a difference in your life though not always to make you look better. I find that people who do exercise do look better, but they aren’t necessarily thinner; they have a glow about them, they’ve got more self-confidence, their posture is better. And there are so many health benefits that I can’t even name all of them.
• I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking meds to lose weight if that’s going to work for you to get the weight off so you can do more with your life. For some people who want to make changes in their lives, they look at weight loss as one of those solutions. Some people feel overwhelmed by weight loss (dieting, exercise, everything). For some people, when they take the med, they start a cycle: After losing the initial weight it becomes easier for them to move and exercise more frequently to lose more weight. A lot of times you have to take it ongoing for the rest of your life though, especially if you’re dealing with diabetes, in which case that’s fine.
• The current CDC guidelines recommend that each week adults in America need 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity and two days of muscle strengthening activity. Most of us, if we get three workout sessions in a week, would consider ourselves lucky, I’d say. Moderate intensity depends on you. For some people, walking s moderate intensity, for others it’s hiking, for others it could even be running. If you’re going to set yourself exercising goals, start with “do what you can do”.

BEST MOMENTS

“The most available, cheapest, and easiest method to begin to address depression or negativity was something that people use the least: Exercise. You can shift your biochemistry by exercising.”
“If you’re doing exercise just to look good – which a lot of people do – and not for how it makes you feel, you’re missing out.”
“When you see anything about weight loss on social media, those people are always trying to sell you a program or a supplement.”
“4,000 steps a day is actually enough, someone made up that 10,000 steps a day number.”

In this episode, Ariel talks about how women can be more empowered when they’re buying a car including tips on how to decide what features you might need, how to make a fully informed decision as well as how to get the best price. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Before you buy a car you’re going to want to figure out what you want to buy that car for: Some people need to transport children, family members, pets, groceries or equipment, some may want to buy a car as an investment – if it’s a restored car, some may need it for commuting. Then you want to look at which kinds of cars will meet those needs.
• Talk to your friends, look online and do review research and see what people say about those particular cars. Your goal is to narrow it down to 3 different cars – they don’t all have to be the same brand – that you’re thinking about leasing or buying. They you get your budget set up for how much money you can put down as a downpayment as well as how much money you can afford to pay per month. It’s good to have a range here because when you get into the dealership they’re going to try to negotiate with you.
• Consider bringing someone to the dealership with you. It might be helpful to bring a man with you (if you have a man in your life) regardless of whether they’re your father/brother/relationship/friend. Sadly, sexism is still rampant in a lot of dealerships and a lot of times the dealer will speak to and negotiate with the man there with you rather than the woman, and you can use this to your advantage. You can do good cop bad cop scenario where you’re the good cop and your companion can be the bad cop, pointing out the negative points of the sale. If you have experience buying cars and you don’t feel you need someone else there that’s fine too, but you do need to have good boundaries.
• If you don’t have a good credit score you’re going to want to bring that up before you buy a car because they’re going to charge you interest rates based on your car FICO score, which is not the same thing as your regular FICO score.

BEST MOMENTS

“Research online before you go into a dealership because their goal is to sell you that day regardless of whether you tell them you’re just looking, they don’t care.”
“Cars depreciate the moment you drive off the lot.”
“Don’t come into car buying with emotions high, car buying is a business decision.”
“If you just want to test drive cars, you’re going to need to make sure they know that’s what you’re there for. They’re still going to try to get you to buy.”

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Mena Canonico who helps people get to the root of their issues in a very unique way and she has an amazing story.
Mena trained with the Coaches Leadership Program
A great question from her Coaches Leadership Program: "What were you born at this time in history to do?"
Another great program: "What is the treasure in the trauma?"

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The root of where I am today started when my family moved to Liberty Street on a 10-acre farm when I was 6 years old and our neighbours had horses. I immediately fell in love and I pestered my parents until they brought a horse for me, called Lady. Everything was lovely until one day when I was riding her near the road and a tractor trailer came by, spooked her, she reared up, I came off, she ran and hit a fence with barbed wire attached. In that moment I felt completely powerless, abandoned, helpless, at a loss. I don’t think I truly realised how traumatic it was for me, but I made the decision never to ride horses again. Not long after that my parents split up, sold the farm and I was away from horses for 24 years.
• I worked in corporate for 16 years and I realised that this was not what I wanted to be doing. So, I started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started asking questions and reading books, finally I discovered life coaching and went to an information session and immediately knew this was it. From there I was put forward for the leadership training program, which is $10,000 in 2005. I didn’t see myself as a leader at all, but I took the program after being packaged out of the job I was at, which afforded me the $10k. That was the catalyst for me to take a leap of faith and leave corporate almost 17 years ago now.
• I started going into schools talking to youths about being real and authentic. As I was doing that, people asked if there was anything I could do just for the girls. Through that I got connected to a 15 year old girl in Florida in 2009 who said she wanted to interview me but she was really there to open my eyes to the fact that horses have these incredible gifts. Horses saved her life, they help you get grounded and help you get grounded, get focussed, you become a better leader, a better partner, and at 15 she was doing clinics for kids who had ADHD and autism.
• I made it my mission to overcome my fear and incorporate horses into my business and my life’s work, to help remind women of how incredibly powerful we are. Also that every single traumatic experience we’ve ever had, we can look at it differently and we can look for the treasure in that trauma.

BEST MOMENTS
“For my whole life I believed that I was not good enough because I was a girl, which I think many of us buy into that… until we don’t.”
“I was born at this time in history to show people how to take off their masks and be real.”
“My destiny was formed the moment I fell off my horse, Lady.”
“None of us are immune from imposter syndrome, you might as well let go of that idea, the more work you can do on yourself the more people you’re going to be able to become empowered.”

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by reiki master, yoga and meditation teacher, Kristen Fewel, to talk about the power of meditation, some different aspects of meditation and where to get started.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I came to meditation out of necessity. I was in a really hard place for a really long time. I started with yoga classes and energy work. The best advice I ever got at that time was: “Kristen, you’re going to need to learn yoga, learn how to manage your energy and not give it away all the time to anyone, and you’re going to need to learn and practice reiki. If you can make those things a part of your life you’re going to be OK, you’re going to make it, you’re going to be better than OK.”
• It’s about reflecting on what thoughts are coming in, or just accepting that you had a thought and then being willing to let it go and see what arises, feel it coming into your field of awareness and then letting that go. With practice it becomes more reflective so that you recognise your habits and patterns, what is your mind doing while you’re sitting, lying, walking, doing a thing. Are you able to do the thing that you set out to do? Which for me was just sitting, it’s the most complicated part of meditation – sitting still – rather than focussing on doing an activity. You have to establish your sitting posture so you’re comfortable in your body while you’re sitting. That’s where yoga comes in.
• We’ve discovered in our group that we have shared meditation experiences. We do dialogue a little bit after our session to find out if anything interesting comes up, and sometimes images or spiritual guidance will come into the room and are shared by 1, 2, or 3 people. It’s really remarkable and powerful.
• I find that private lessons with an experienced teacher is the best way of getting on the right track with meditation rather than having to come in contact with all of the many obstacles which will come up, and there are many. You can get past those hurdles fairly quickly and have successful meditation if you have an experienced teacher. A group class isn’t as fine tuned to the individual, but it will still give you something.

BEST MOMENTS
“Meditation doesn’t happen the first time you sit down and do it. It doesn’t even happen the tenth or the fiftieth time, but if you stay with it you feel your feelings, you get through the hardest part, and then it opens up to you.”
“We’re working on attracting more people who want to try to extend their sitting time to 45-60 minutes because that’s when really profound things and major shifts start to occur.”
“I’m a participant just like everybody else, I’m working through my stuff just like everybody else, I do the practice.”
“If you’re not ready for meditation, perhaps you’d like to explore aspects of mindfulness, which are different. Mindfulness is noticing what’s going on in the moment but not necessarily with reflection on it.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
Kristen Fewel is a seasoned teacher with more than two decades of yoga practice and study. She uses an adaptable breath-centred approach inspired by the teachings of TKV Desikachar and Krishnamacharya to guide students toward breathing and being with depth and ease. Kristen's  teaching points to the importance of mindfulness and meditation as a way to enjoy life more, and as a path to discover your true potential. Kristen spends most of her time with individuals doing yoga therapy or reiki energy work at Full Circle. She received her certifications from Dianne Harman of the Yoga Experience, Ariel Hubbard of Hubbard Education Group, and Dr. Amy Wheeler of The Optimal State of Living.  A perpetual student, she continues her studies in yoga, qigoing, tai chi, and energy work.

In this episode Ariel talks about the value of providing feedback and some tips on how to do that.

Tips for Sharing Feedback:
Trust your intuition
If you get an intuitive insight to share feedback with someone, make sure you take the time to do this. It sends a message to your subconscious that your feelings and insights are valid, and that you have enough confidence, and care for yourself enough to share your feelings and insights with others. It builds a positive relationship with yourself.
Get permission first
Getting permission is key, so that people are receptive, and don't feel like their boundaries are being violated. If you launch into giving feedback without getting permission first, you look like a rude, bossy, controlling person, and a natural reaction of someone would be to be defensive or ignore you. When you don't get permission first, you often trigger peoples' parent/child archetypes, where you show up as a parent and they are a child. Naturally, people feel uncomfortable in this situation.
Bring compassion to your feedback
Before you speak, connect with your Heart Chakra in the centre of your chest. Imagine a pink light there that emanates from there through your entire body. Imagine you are connecting with a deep Source of loving compassion.  And from this place of compassion, what would you say to this person? It probably would not be anything like, "You have too much stuff," or "I hated your class," or any kind of shaming or patronising comment.  It would be something that would let them know your experience of what they are doing without being negative, but instead, indicating how they could grow.
Express gratitude when a person listens
It is so important to give thanks, in some way, that a person spent their valuable time listening to you. It reinforces to your subconscious that people do listen (which is an important lesson for all of us to learn and hear, and often different than what we were taught in childhood), WHILE sending the powerful and positive energy of gratitude to that person, which triggers a positive endorphin release.   Generating a positive energy flow also encourages people to listen more to feedback in the future, and it also creates a positive bonding experience with that person.
Avoid having expectations of that person "doing" anything with your feedback
Let yourself have the satisfaction that you did share your feelings and insights and feel good about that. Let go of your egoic desire to have the person "get it" or take a specific action based on your feedback.  We are all sentient beings making our own choices, and the other person may choose to ignore your feedback. Just let sharing it and having it be heard be enough.  Then you don't cloud the positive energy exchange with your expectations and desires and that frees up a lot of energy to feel happy and free!

BEST MOMENTS
“Even though we live in an economy that’s based on feedback, when it comes to interpersonal interactions, many people are afraid to do this, especially people from younger generations.”
“Have you ever considered that sharing your insights could provide invaluable information for someone to learn, improve, heal or grow?”
“When people are receptive to feedback they don’t feel like their boundaries are being violated and that makes it more likely that information is going in and that they’re going to receive it.”
“There are times I’ve taken risks where I wanted to give feedback to someone because I thought it would affect their career. I was nervous about it but, I trusted my intuition that I needed to talk about it, I asked for permission, I spoke with compassion, and I thanked them for their time and it was life-changing for them because the compassion I used to give them the information translated into me giving them feedback that completely changed the way they did things which opened up a whole other realm for them in their career.”

This episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast is a crossover show with Connected Communication. Ariel is joined by guest host Christine Mullaney to discuss what great communication is and what it isn’t.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• My first big communication was with my spirit guides. I had abilities which I was aware of at about 3, but I didn’t know that other people didn’t have them until about 6. I realised that I couldn’t work with human beings in the way other people did. I was seeing auras and energy around people, I was seeing spirits from the other side and nature intelligences. 
• I had a narcissist as a mother and I recognised there were mental health issues from an early age, I could sense that I wasn’t safe on a bunch of different levels, including talking about these things. So, I started talking to my spirit guides to work out what was real and what wasn’t, and they gave me meditation practices to combat my anxiety.  I wouldn’t wish my childhood on anyone, and communicating with them kept me sane, balanced and getting through that into something more positive in my life.
• When we’re communicating with people, we need to tune into how what they’re saying makes us feel. I was on LinkedIn last night and I got a cold pitch, which I’m not a fan of, it was very cold, frosty, clinical and technically accurate. I gave the guy feedback that LinkedIn is not what this is for, it’s about developing relationships. He said “I’ve been using AI and I’m not sure it’s working”. That explained why it was so cold , frosty, distant and technically accurate: It was a computer!
• Trust your inner feelings and intuition. Your body and your auric fields can read the intention of the person you’re communicating with, what’s coming off of that person’s chakras, what’s in that person’s energy field. If you feel openness, freedom, calm, peaceful, tranquil feelings or states, if you perceive that you feel relaxed, that’s a response to a positive energy from that person. If you feel stressed, angry, resentful your beingness/body/energy field can read when someone’s crossing a line.

BEST MOMENTS
“Spirit guides are beings whose goal is to help us develop spiritually.”
“In my family, I’m the only person who doesn’t have some kind of issue mentally where I don’t need medication.”
“We relate to the divine in a way that we can based on our consciousness as a filter. The more open your brain is, the more expanded your awareness of what Source energy is.”
“We’re going to have to get really smart in detecting AI, because it’s learning how to use human-esque voices in the written word.”

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of beating hackers and she gives you some examples of what to do if your information has been stolen online or if your profile has been taken on Facebook.

Dating Protection: Woman Power Zone episodes 71, 72, 73.

Money and Credit: Woman Power Zone episodes 16 and 17.

The MOVEit incident is the result of a major cyber event involving federal agencies and corporations around the world. The threat actor behind this incident has threatened to publish sensitive information acquired through the vulnerability. Please consider taking the following actions recommended by the Social Security Administration and credit bureaus.

• Closely monitor credit reports.
• Obtain a free copy of your credit report, which you’re entitled to once every 12 months, from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
• Place a fraud alert on your accounts by contacting one of the credit reporting agencies; a fraud alert at one of the agencies will automatically notify the other two. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or before making changes to existing accounts.
• Freeze your credit at each of the three major credit reporting agencies. Agencies will require personal authorization before approving any credit application.
• If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission via identitytheft.gov

www.intellius.com is a site where you can find out criminal records, addresses, family members, liens and more information about people.

Report, block and delete are the steps for comments from scammers!

Notify, report fake profiles and tell friends are steps for fake profiles!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In hacks some or all of your information can be stolen: you name, your social security number, maybe the names of your relatives, where you live. This stuff can be taken and sold on the Dark Web where people can take your identity and open up credit cards in your name and all kinds of shenanigans. People could try to get access to the titles of properties that you own, shut off your utilities or open their own all in your name. The prospects are frightening.
• Sometimes people will have part of your information that they’ve bought off the dark web and then they’re going to ‘data mine’ you for the rest of it. They could ‘encounter’ you on a dating website and ask for the names of your relatives or pets for passwords. You need to be aware that these things (data mining on dating sites and identity theft in other areas) are connected, these things are often done by the same people or sold between each other on the Dark Web.
• If you think you’ve been a victim of identity theft, you should immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission. You can also request to block electronic access to social security.
• One of the benefits of social media is staying connected with people, which is great for networking, business, maintaining emotional connections, or finding people you knew back in high school and learning. But, the downside is if something goes wrong all those people that you’re friends with could be affected too. A hacker could get into your account and send friend requests to all of your friends, these people could accidentally give access to that hacker who could then take their information of try to con them. You don’t want to be the gateway. So, change your password straight away and post that you’ve been hacked (make sure to click on the 3 dots and make sure it’s set to friends only to see this post. If it’s set to public scamming bots contact you with links to tell your how to fix it but actually lead you to sites that can mine your data.

BEST MOMENTS

“Monitor your credit reports with credit agencies and dispute any mistakes you come across.”
“Putting a fraud alert on your account with one agency will automatically alert the others. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or making changes to existing accounts.”
“Have you ever looked at how much you can find out about somebody online? It’s terrifying.”
“Report, block, then delete hacker comments on Facebook.”

In this episode Ariel is joined by Christine Mullaney about courage, opening up, changing, trusting, and self discovery.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• My journey with courage started when I was very young, but it became a key theme in my life at 17 when I had my first shamanic experience to cure a recurring problem with my throat. I met my first spirit guide, a wolf, who came to me for courage. But I’d say I’ve had to be courageous for much of my life, I’ve had a variety of experiences some of which have tried to knock me down or back.
• My TEDx talk came 6 months after leaving a narcissistically abusive relationship I’d been in for around 6 years. I in no way put all of what happened on him, he had his own life experience and was who he was because of his life experiences and I certainly didn’t behave in ways that necessarily helped it. That’s been my most recent healing journey. Part of coming back was the recognition that I had been a very strong, very confident, very open woman before that relationship and she wasn’t gone, she’d just gone a different route before meandering back to the road that she wanted to be on.
• It’s a spiral: We experience these things in life and we move through the spiral and each time we come out at a higher level of frequency. Maybe we need to repeat things again, each of my last three relationships had similar patterns – different kinds of addictive substances, abuse in some sort of form, but all centring back into the lived experience I had as a child. But, each time I came out of these relationships at a higher level of frequency, until l got to the point where I realised I could leave that spiral.
• I wanted to pitch the ripple effect of vulnerability to everybody through my TEDx talk because when we share our stories we create a ripple effect that helps other people have the courage to share theirs.

BEST MOMENTS
“I can choose to let life knock me down, and knock me back, and keep me where I am, or I can say ‘I’m going to face this, step forwards and through it, and come out the other side however I come out’.”
“It’s important to share your story, to be able to stand in your own power with respect to those around you and share from your truth.”
“People talk about ‘the comfort zone’, for me it’s not really a comfort zone, it’s a place where we’re used to things happening and that’s our normality.”
“The meaning of courage is ‘heart’, that’s the etymology of it.”

In this episode Ariel is joined by Dr Erica Wood about what naturopathy actually is and all the ways it can help you.
Always ask your doctor before taking anyone's advice.
A Naturopathic Doctor has graduated from a naturopathic medical school and often a multi-year residency, as compared to a Naturopath, who does an online, much shorter course of study.
Dr Erica's Tips:

• Fresh air and morning sunlight to set sleep/wake cycle
• Fresh water: 10 oz. of water before you walk out the door, and half your body weight in ounces a day
• Protein: 5 servings of palm-size a day.  The "high five." 3 meals and 2 snacks.
• Movement and breathing. Taking 4 deep breaths in, exhale for 6 counts.
• Sleep: the best thing you can do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Naturopathy basically uses nature as medicine to try to find the root cause of what’s going on. There are 7 principles of naturopathic medicine: The V (the healing power of nature), identify and treat the cause, doctor as teacher, treating the whole person, prevention, the power of medical literature, the power of research and how it can help our profession.
• I see patients from 3 days old up to 100 and we treat everything from gut dysbiosis to mood to PMS to perimenopause to ADHD, it all blends together, you don’t treat one disease you treat the whole person.
• In Covid a lot of people got really focussed on their health because they were locked inside and what else was there to do but focus on your health? People were afraid of getting Covid so they realised the power of prevention and things they could do to lower their co-morbidities (other diseases that could lower our chances of worst-case-scenarios).
• If you have heartburn I don’t prescribe you medicine, I take a look at how your gut is, how your flora is (the good-for-you bacteria in your gut), maybe take a look at your stress levels, or even look at food sensitivities to see if something is really aggravating you. Perimenopause is one of my favourite times to work with a woman. The medical field doesn’t really recognise the perimenopause. We take a look at a lot of different things like sometimes its stress and our adrenal response which is causing hot flushes and weight gain because the adrenals were never happy to begin with, so by treating them the transition can be easier. 

BEST MOMENTS
“We understand that the natural world is assisting the healing process and we use what we can in nature to help that along.”
“Telehealth has made it possible where I can treat anyone in Washington State.”
“A good primary care provider knows what’s in their realm and what’s not in their realm.”
“I always recommend patients to get up, go outside in the morning – regardless of how cold it is – take 5 deep breaths of fresh air and have morning sunlight.”
