Today on the show I had the beautiful Marie Alessi, we talk about Life after Loss, Hope, Healing and Happiness.  

Marie has chosen to dedicate her journey to changing the narrative of grief. After losing her husband to a brain aneurysm, she founded the Movement “Loving Life after Loss” and now inspires others in processing their loss, by being a shining example of choosing Love over falling apart.

She is also a Mother to two boys, a bestselling Author, Influencer & Speaker. After her husband passed, she found and created her way back to Joy. She instinctively knew it was the only path worthy for their young boys. Her husband had taught her the concept of two choices - and this one was made in his honour, to make him proud. Marie has become a shining example of choosing Love over fear and sadness. In her Movement Marie offers hope, healing & happiness to the world when people expect it the least and need it the most.

Her story is inspirational and how she has overcome the loss of her husband, but on a spiritual level and was not angry.  She had a great life with him and she honors that and him and continues to honor him through her work and with her two boys.  Love this.  

She has two books you can get there here if you experience grief and loss yourself.

Today I had the pleasure of speaking to Lion Goodman.  He is a transformational coach, author, healer and teacher. At the age of 26, Lion was shot in the head four times. This near-death experience kick-started his five decades of research into the nature of consciousness, developmental psychology, spirituality and healing. He created the Clear Beliefs Method of trauma-informed therapeutic coaching, which he has taught to more than 500 coaches, healers and therapists around the world. His training is accredited by both the International Coaching Federation and Association for Coaching. In a single session, Lion can eliminate a client’s limiting or negative belief from their subconscious mind, heal a childhood wound, or resolve a trauma from the past. The Clear Beliefs Method is a multidimensional approach to rapid, deep healing.

Lion will help you get rid of your limiting belief in one session.  The infrastructure of them mind that has put together the world and how you are in it, so if we change that construct, of who I am and how to respond, he goes down to shift at that level  then it happens quickly and completely.  This is sooo amazing.  

Being a subconscious pattern detective through transformational coaching, healing, teaching and authoring has uncovered the core of a problem in the subconscious mind and heals it.  He has blogged for the Good Men Project and Your Tango,  Lion has also been active in the men's moevement for more than 30 years!  How fantastic is that, we talk alot about women and healing, its refreshing to get a mans perspective helping other men.

He was meant to survive what was meant to kill him and uncovering your limiting beliefs and changing them, according to him, can be fun and childlike, using the imaginal realm.  If you go to his substack page, he has an Open Apology to women.  It is definately worth the read.  Thank you Lion for that.

On today's episode I had the honor of speaking to the beautiful Darci Steiner. Darci has served in the ministry as a teen and women’s ministry leader, as well as assisted with church plants in Denver and Los Angeles. In 2001, Darci nearly lost her life after a debilitating fall. During her recovery, she earned her Master of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition and implemented natural remedies into her diet that helped save her life.  When Darci became disabled a second time after a foot injury in 2018, she turned her focus toward ministry again by writing her debut book, Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering and its companion, Study Guide for Beauty Beyond the Thorns: Discovering Gifts in Suffering.

It was during this time of her injury that she began reading about holistic remedies and good food.  She started walking in therapy pools and then on land,  After 6 years she earned her Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition and opened a private practice nutrition counseling business.  She had no pain.  During her second injury is where she wrote her book.  It is faith based, but non believers benefit as well.  Darci is truly an inspiration.

Darci was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and in those 6 years she was in horrific pain and couldn't even tolerate a sheet to touch her body.  Her and her husband, Mark, both share the spiritual challenges of understanding GOD over what seems like setbacks and loss and to understand how GOD has been there in their broken times.

Her story inspires and empowers me as well as anyone listening that you CAN heal, you CAN move forward.  She has Discovered her Gift in Suffering.

I love that Darci has found beauty and sacred places in Suffering where God helped her through,

Hi lovelies, today I am honored to speak to the beautiful Alena Turley, she is an Australian entrepreneur, podcaster and martial artist. Founder of pioneering blog, the Soul Mama Hub, her new membership - the Academy -  offers an actionable pathway to holistic health, ethical living and bold dream-making. It invites women to become conscious custodians of their bodies, their families, and the planet - together.

We talk about our tools in the tool box and gentle accountability to our journeys.  We talk about the joys of watching women take these steps.  It is amazing to see the light come on!

Alena's vision is to spearhead change by inviting women to step into their role as conscious custodians, to be members of nurturing communities and heal their traumas.

She is the founder of the pioneering blog, Soul Mama Hub.  Parenting soulfully may look different than you might think, or different to how you have been conditioning to think it might. According to Alena, the benefits of becoming a more soulful and aware parent are deep and longlasting, you can barely even imagine at first that simply being more present when your child needs you could have such huge implications.

Alena has this quote from Rome on the TV series "A Million LIttle Things" and it is 100% appropriate

"If we want to make big changes in the world, we first must be prepared to make big changes in ourselves."

Make sure you make space and have grace for yourself.

Love this so much!  Thank you Alena for sharing your story with us and helping others.

Today I welcome in the beautiful Kay Cote, a Mindufulness, Movement & Motivation to live your best life Coach.  Kay shares her experience being bullied and how it has affected who she is today.

She chooses to share her story to help others know they are not alone in their journey.  Kay is so open and its refreshing and I am honored that she chose to be vulnerable and share her story of being bullied, we need everyone to talk about this.  Being different at any age and being bullied for that difference, one cant wrap their heads around that and its sometimes isolating and you feel alone.  Kay was pressured to confine to standards, her positive energy became anger and rebellion.  Her joy faded away as she turned to food to self soothe, only amplifying her experience and the bullying continued in her mind into her adult life.

Kay is sharing through podcasts and podcasting and how it has helped her discover self awareness, self acceptance and self love.  Her  journey has been a pivotal moment to align to who she truly is.

Let's talk about this and confront your inner dialogue and change the narrative of your life.  Kay can help you discover your elevated self.  Kay talks about her magical 5 year old self and how she sees her now and comforts her that it will be ok.  She combines mindfulness in action to help make peace with her inner voice.  And yours too.

When I asked Kay to provide me with three steps to elevate yourself she suggested these

1. Sleep is a priority. 
2. Have a ride or die person or two
3. Not take life so seriously

Hi lovelies, another amazing episode with the beautiful Jeanne (pronounced Jhon ) Andrus.  I apologize to Jeanne in my introduction I pronounced your name incorrectly!   Jeanne has been helping women navigate their Menopause Journey for well over a decade. It started with her own journey to health and happiness.

Im all about this topic, so much taboo around it but its important that we talk about it and it is NOT in our heads!  Menopause  Matters and she is here to tell us why.

When  she realized how little information and support was available as she navigated through menopause herself, she was determined to help women understand and control the changes that they were going through. More importantly,  to help them understand how menopause is a gift in their lives, allowing them to move themselves from the periphery of their lives to placing their own desires and purpose into the center of their life. Finally, and more importantly to help remove the taboo of menopause - the idea that women past menopause are invisible, or over the hill, or all washed up.  Jeane often tells the story of how this negative perception of post-menopause is inculcated in us from an early age, and why this is such a wrong perception of the amazing opportunity which menopause opens for women.

We talk about being positively selfish and that we need to be, we often go to the Dr about our symptoms and ask for help and are told its nothing, you just have to "go through it" What's worse is that along the way, the different hormonal imbalances affect how well we sleep and how our sleep is disrupted differently. So, there's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Even Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) will not fix all the ways we don't sleep.

Jeanne dives into the foods, diet, or lack of diet and cortisal stress hormones and the 5 best tips for sleep.  

In addition to her coaching, Jeanne is the author of five international best sellers on menopause, including “I Just want to Be ME Again!” (now in its second edition) and her book aimed towards men trying to understand how menopause is affecting someone they love – “Where is My Wife and What Have You Done with Her?”

Remember, Menopuase doesnt have to take over your life

Today I have the beautiful Martina Clark, she is an Author, Activist, Educator, Grateful Aunt, and occasional Singer.

Martina Clark was the first openly HIV-positive person hired to work for UNAIDS in 1996,  At the age of 28, the doctors told her she had 5 years to live.  Back then we didnt know anything about this epidemic and so many lost their lives either due to shame, lack of knowledge and/or care.  We have come a long way today in healthcare for HIV.  With nothing to lose, Martina dove headfrist into activism.

Her book, My Unexpected Life: An International Memoir of Two Pandemics, HIV and Covid-19 follows her personal journey both emotional and physical along with her professional career after her diagnosis.

Martina got Covid-19 in early 2020 and it really did a number on her system.  She is fighting and thriving throughout that too!  She reflects on her long  haul bout with the second pandemic (Covid) while also reflecting on her experiences, her full passport all with an in-curable disease.

She is stubborn and determined and an inspiration!  While anyone who alone had the initial diagnosis would of just stayed in that diagnosis and wallowed, she got up and lived and lived she has! She subsequently worked for the United Nations system for 20 years, advocating globally for the rights of people living with HIV. Her collaborative work also led to a mandatory HIV In the Workplace program internal to the United Nations system, facilitating platforms for freer dialogue and a more supportive environment for all personnel, including LGBTQ, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized populations. Clark holds a BA in International Relations and an MFA in Creative Writing and Literature. Currently, she is an adjunct for LaGuardia Community College (part of CUNY) where she teaches English 101 and Critical Reading to NYC public high school students earning college credits early.
