We are honored to welcome back to the podcast one of this year's skill builders at MTM, Tedi Serge. Tedi exudes a wealth of wisdom (get out your note taking utensils for this one) as she opens up about how the last 6 months have changed her life towards feeling the best she's ever felt. What happens when we hit the pause button and hold more space for ourselves? When we listen more and stop giving power to our excuses? Tedi opens up about her sobriety and elaborates on her view on manifestation and how to take action to attract. She also explains how there is truth in our identity and how to create intentional internal dialogue to guide us towards a more fulfilling life. It's a jammed packed episode that will leave you eager to hear more from Tedi and her sister Sonya at this year's Motivation Through Movement on Saturday May 18th. Signup to reserve your spot below!

Licensed therapist, nature lover and founder of The Mind Wild, Makayla Fisher, joins the podcast today for a conversation around the human experience of joy, suffering, happiness, survival, compassion, shame, and what it means to be human. 

In her private practice, she works with brain based techniques including compassion and mindfulness practices to promote healing and growth for helping professionals, individuals in caregiving roles, as well as adults facing anxiety, trauma, grief and life transitions. We discuss our purpose, the challenges of being human, how to start learning what we don’t know, reconnecting with ourselves, self-compassion, as well as the role of the parasympathetic system. There really is no way to sum up the depth of this conversation around the human experience, you’ll have to tune in to receive all the nuggets of knowledge Makayla offers our community!

Thinking About Food Differently with Stacia Zirpolo - Founder of The Mylk Box

Stacia Zirpolo joins us on the podcast this week to have a conversation around her business, The Mylk Box and thinking about food differently. As a non-dairy Milk shop, Stacia shares more about how their nut milks are made and a glimpse into what running a business as a family looks like. 

We learn about what brought her awareness into non-dairy milk and gluten free foods, as well as the importance of transparency in food and why clean ingredients matter. Our conversation expands into the trickle effect of clean ingredients with our body, mind, and communities. And Stacia teaches us the benefits and different ways to implement nut milk into our diets. Meet Stacia and see why we are raving about The Mylk Box during her community “Spring Market” on Saturday April 13th. Mention this podcast for a complimentary small smoothie with The Mylk Box.

No flushed gems here! You’re getting the real real as we invite meditation guru and medium in training, Lauren Lee, back to the pod for a part 2 segment on energy reading and mindfulness. Grab your bevy of choice, take off your bra, and kick off this week’s episode with some “rants and raves” before diving into a deeper discussion on energy and mindfulness. 

Lauren, Katie, and Gen start off with a recap of their girls night out. And Lauren gets candid as she opens up more about her “okay fine” era as she shares about her mediumship course. The three of them discuss the judgement and skepticism around energy and intuitive readings and where our fears come from around the dark and the unknown. Leave this conversation understanding how to use mindfulness as a tool to lead from a space of loving compassion, lean into reading energy and setting boundaries, and how to transition your meditation practice from guided to self-guided. Tune in until the end for a fun intuitive exercise you can practice with friends around noticing and sensing energy.
