On the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can make your own version of lemonade. 

Remember that this is YOUR healing and discovering how you can heal from this tragedy is completely up to you. 

Another thing to note... if you don't feel like you want to make lemonade, you don't have to!

Please don't ever feel like you have to look or process or anything for that matter when it comes to healing after this tragedy.

I cannot tell you how many times people suggested some version of lemonade to me but I simply wasn't ready to start the healing process. 

Guess what?

It's FINE.

If you are NEW to this podcast, you are in for a great conversation about how we can heal from the trauma that we have experienced.

Things such as tapping, making sure that we are having positive conversations and feeling safe.

On the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can find healing using the power of essential oils with special guest Arin Fugate. 

You may remember from our summit that we hosted on Valentine's Day? 

Arin was a speaker and talked about her upbringing. Being raised in a cult and how she made the brave escape to reclaim her life and how she found hope again in her own moments of darkness. 

Arin talks about essential oils and how they can aid in the healing process. 

I highly recommend giving them a try (essential oils) even if you might be hesitant.

The oils have made such a difference in my own healing process and there are a variety to choose from.

If you are interested in any of the essential oils she mentions, I've created a shopping bag where you can purchase all of the oils she recommends on this week's episode.

On the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can find ways to shake some of the guilt that you might be experiencing as I sit down with special guest Caro Brookings. 

Some of you may remember Caro from the summit that we hosted on Valentine's Day when Caro was a speaker?  

I know that I experienced guilt in the early days after my sister's death. 

If I am being honest, I think we can all experience feelings of guilt or constant negative spirals of "what if.." 

This is natural AND normal. 

We take a deeper dive on the previous conversation from the summit in this week's episode. 

I know that if you have been feeling weighted down by your thoughts, you'll love our conversation. 

And Caro is also hosting her own summit so be sure to tune into find out more about it and how you can register.

I know that was a complete gamechanger for me was being able to get off what was on my heart and to stop my mind from the racing thoughts that we all have.

A few suggestions that I have are:

Special guest Dr. LaRenda Jones stops by from Beneath The Grief Ministries to discuss grief.

She says, "So often we are grieving so many things."

I can relate because my sister's death was only one major loss that I was grieving at that time.

Little did I know that there were other smaller losses packed into the "big" loss (being sister's death) that I was grieving in addition.

Dr. Jones opens up about losing several clients by suicide and how she still thinks about them on a regular basis.

She says, "Pay attention."

And always be thinking, "How can I help someone today?"

Even giving someone a bottle of water, can save their life.

Dr. Jones reminded me that sometimes it truly is the little, small gestures that can make a huge impact on someone's life.

Remember, you are loved!

On the podcast, I'm talking all about my personal experience between traditional "talk therapy" vs. coaching. 

 I have been to a counseling many times throughout my healing journey. 

 The stigma surrounding therapy is still there. 

 I wish it wasn't because you should never feel ashamed for seeking help and support for yourself. 

 You are worth feeling well again!

 So am I...

 We all secretly crave feeling like we did before this tragedy occurred. 

 I know for me personally, I needed to talk to someone about what was going on and how to better process my emotions. 

 Coaching became a big part of my healing journey because I didn't realize that this was the missing piece of the puzzle for me? 

 Honestly, I thought that therapy was enough. 

 Until it wasn't all that I knew I needed. 

 I needed BOTH, a counselor AND direction. 

 Tune into this week's episode as I unpack my personal experience why I needed both and if you are ready to take your next steps forward, I'd love to support you by scheduling a Hope and Healing plan. 

 This is where we sit down and map out what YOU want to see going forward. 

 Remember, YOU ARE LOVED!

On the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can find ways to embrace the season you're in. 

If you are grieving, you can still discover ways to embrace the season of grief in a new way. 

It may be challenging to learn how to embrace this season of grief but it is still possible. 

As I reflect on my season of grief and embracing this new season of life that I'm in.

May you find peace in every season that you find yourself in. 

Remember, YOU ARE LOVED!

On the podcast, I'm talking my sister as I reflect on her beautiful life as we approach her 4 year anniversary of her death.

Not a day goes by when I don't miss her deeply.

I think of her often.

What she would be doing...

The one thing that helps when the tears come is to remember that still loves me.

Remember, YOU ARE LOVED!
