Your SHEro's Journey

Welcome!  Today’s SHEro Carol Lee, shares how she turned to food to numb the pain of the tragic death of her husband.  

Her diet, high in sugar, eventually caught up with her, causing panic attacks, anxiety issues, and reactive depression.  She knew she HAD to change, so she worked to use food to heal her.  

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Carol!

Carol has worked in complementary health since 1993, both as a 5-element acupuncturist and as a nutritional therapist.  She combines the everyday with the spiritual, walking with a foot in both worlds.  

She helps people make simple, practical changes in how they eat and cook to create a more nourishing and flourishing life.

In this episode, Carol shares:

• How she discovered a platform for telling people about the negative aspects of the pre-packaged diet food industry via an “Aha” moment 15 years ago
• How her passion for food and nutrition shaped her life’s path.  She even left her work as a social worker for full-time motherhood, and then for training as a nutritional therapist
• How she listened to her intuition and never regretted the decision
• How Carol used healthy foods and solid nutrition to help boost her husband’s health during his cancer treatment
• How Carol, during another “Aha” moment, realised that she had to look after herself before she could look after her sick husband and two sons
• How Carol practices self-care by walking daily and preparing the healthy foods she wants to eat, even if they may not be what her sons would prefer
• Another “Aha” moment involved Carol’s writing a book to raise money for a children’s charity
• Handling “Aha” moments means you have to be open to them and TAKE ACTION
• Carol’s biggest success are her books and the fact that she’s still inspired and trying to make a difference

She loves combining the everyday with the spiritual, walking with a foot in both worlds and helping people make simple, practical changes to how they eat and cook so they can create a more nourishing and flourishing life.

Welcome!  Today’s SHEro Tabitha Jayne (Tabi), who shares how she went from a troubled young person to a published author, international speaker, eco-psychologist, and natural growth consultant.  

She helps people create meaningful and purposeful, stress-free lives and businesses with the help of nature. She is the creator of The Nature Process and Tree of Transformation.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Tabi!

Tabi’s life turned around when she was 22 and her younger brother, age 17, was killed in a car accident.  

Until that point, she used drugs and alcohol to mask the pain of a troubled childhood that included being bullied at school and a rape incident at age 16.  It was the loss of her brother that motivated her to stop 'wasting her life' and to begin pursuing her dreams.

In this episode, Tabi discusses:

• Tabi realised that our society does not deal with death well. She had to find ways to work through her grief, which led her to rediscover nature that she had loved as a child.
• She noticed that when she spent more time outside that she felt better.
• She found trees to have a magical quality and shares the inspirational story of climbing a tree that brought her back into fellowship and harmony with nature.
• Tabi found a way to merge her two loves of nature and psychology to become an “eco-psychologist.” She learned how to use coaching to articulate and teach others.
• Tabi shares how her journey of the last five years has involved connecting with others through the power of nature. “The future belongs to those who are nature-smart.”—Richard Louv
• Tabi addresses the dilemma of how modern society can balance technology and nature.
• Everything in nature has a path of growth and renewal just like we, as humans, need growth and renewal.
• Tabi uses the reality of light and dark in nature as metaphors for the stages and steps in our lives.
• Tabi’s greatest success has been the development of The Nature Process, which is a 5-step online program and now, a book. 
• Proceeds from her program have raised huge funds for Tree Sisters, which supports feminine leadership and reforestation.
• “When I struggle to have faith, I go to nature. When I couldn’t believe in myself, I could believe in nature.”

'Confidence within myself and trust.'

To realise how valuable she is and how valuable her knowledge is to the world.

Because of her interests, Tabi was so used to perceiving herself as weird one in her family that she didn’t want to share her gifts with the world.

It was the most humbling experience of her life to share her knowledge of nature with others and see their transformation.

Welcome!  Today’s SHEro is Heather Ash, who chose to go against the norm and listen to her inner voice regarding having a home birth, which was not a common thing to do in her area.  In fact, in her home state of Georgia, it’s not even legal for midwives to attend home births.  

Heather, however, followed her heart.  

She says the best thing about her life is being a mum to her two daughters, ages 3 and 7.  Heather encourages other mums through her blog and podcast, Happiness Mama, and works in her own coaching business. 

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Heather!

Heather shares how she assumed a hospital birth would be sufficient until she read a book about midwives and doulas, and her mind was changed.  Home births were not common where she lived, and her doctor actually dropped her and other home birth patients as a result of pressure from the medical community.  She chose another Ob-Gyn but never disclosed her desire to have a home birth! 

In this episode, Heather discusses:

• How Heather’s home birth turned out, even though the midwife arrived only a few minutes before the baby!
• How Heather battled post-partum depression and anxiety but didn’t even realize it until much later.
• How breastfeeding issues presented a huge challenge that took determination and perseverance to overcome.
• How Heather was able to spend time at home with both of her daughters after they were born before she had to return to work.
• How Heather has used her blog to encourage other mums to live their happiest lives.
• How Heather’s biggest success is to “be here” for her children and spend time with them.
• How she has grown stronger through her experiences, and she desires to coach other women through their own challenging life experiences.

Welcome! My guest today is Jo De Rosa. Jo shares how she battled addiction for decades until yoga and meditation literally saved her life.

She has recently celebrated 1000 days of sobriety!

She has lived in Thailand and the UK, running a clothing and jewellery shop, a yoga studio, and a retreat centre. Her business, Inner Guidance, offers coaching, workshops, and retreats focusing on emotional and spiritual healing, nutrition, and visioning for the future.Join me for an inspiring conversation with Jo!

Jo candidly shares about the excesses of her adult life, until yoga and meditation showed her a better path. Even in the midst of the addiction pattern, she felt a calling to search for something else for her life. When she attended her first yoga class, it was an “epiphany” moment—exactly what she was searching for to change her life forever!

In this episode, Jo discusses:

• How yoga eventually led to soul-satisfying meditation in her life, and how you can start small and incorporate this practice into your life
• How she overcame the power struggle between the “old Jo” and the “new Jo” she wanted to become 
• How family and friends responded to the extreme changes she made in her life—some were supportive and some were not
• Jo keeps the faith in herself by acknowledging that her inner peace comes from her meditation
• Hear the miraculous story of how Jo and her husband came to own a 16th-century property that has become the Inner Guidance Retreat Centre
• How Jo does NOT regret any of her life experiences: “I had to go through what I did to be where I am right now!”

Trust.Trusting herself, trusting the process. Trusting that everything is happening for a reason. It has to happen this way for you to be your full potential, so that you can shine in the world.

Say YES and mean it.

Do things because you say 'YES' to them, not because you 'should' do them.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi 

Brainwave Music System- Dr Jeffrey Thompson

The Quantum Mind-Setter

Jo offers coaching, workshops and retreats where students can fully immerse themselves into their practice, and most importantly, learn how to take the information home with them and integrate it into their daily lives.

Yoga is a complete lifestyle and Jo teaches not only the physical postures, but also nutrition, visioning for the future and meditation. This enables you to feel balanced mentally and emotionally, as well as physically.

Jo teaches yoga in the Iyengar style and spent one year in training with her first teacher Suzie in Koh Samui, Thailand.

Jo has spent much time in India and completed the Sivananda one month intensive training in Neyyer Dam, Trivandrum. Here she stayed in the ashram for one month living and breathing yoga before heading from the southern tip of India to the Himalayas where she met and studied with Sharat Arora.

It was at this time that Jo also became involved with the Tibetan Buddhist movement in Dharamsala.

In 2006 Jo took refuge with HH Karmapa which is a great honour, and was given the Tibetan name ‘Karma Choekyi’, which means ‘happy teacher’.

The Karmapa is head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, and although this is a different lineage to HH Dalai Lama, it is now public knowledge that HH Karmapa will succeed HH Dalai Lama as leader of Tibet.

Danielle shares how after investing so much in her 10 year career and building up her private practice, she made the very hard decision to leave it behind to become a mum.

She shares how she went through guilt and embarrassment as she made this incredibly tough decision for her and her family. 

Danielle shares that she was heading towards burnout, when she unexpectedly became pregnant and was delighted.

However, everything changed as she suffered a miscarriage.

Danielle reveals how this left her feeling devastated. She began to re-evaluate everything.

She began to question what she was doing with her life. Was she even really happy? Had she gotten to see her daughter (who was then 3 years old) learn and change and grow? Was the work that she was doing actually making a difference? Why did she leave a previous job that she loved for more time with her daughter, only to find that a couple of years later, she only saw her when she was in bed?

Two months later Danielle became pregnant again and decided in that moment, things had to change and she walked away from her 10 year career so that she could focus on growing her baby and being the best mum she could be.

She shares that although it was her choice to leave, she left with her guilt, embarrassment, and shame that took her many months of reflection and willingness to do the hard work, to get through.

Danielle shares how this has led her to create a life and business that support both her and her family. 

Accept that things change.Still have your own goals, but as a mum you may have to evaluate how long it will take you to get them and how you’ll actually get them.

Heather shares how after having a typical standard and conventional start to her life, she began to follow her inner knowing which then took her on unexpected journeys that have taken her all around the world.

She shares her story of how facing her fears connected her to her true passion and purpose.

Heather shares how her first 'call' came when she was on a study abroad program in University.  She was on the fairly standard path of college, likely followed by grad school, and then career…

But it all changed when she signed up to go on a tall ship training program. The only problem being that she was terrified of sailing!

Heather shares that she knew that the only way to get over her fears was to face them. She signed up to spend six weeks at sea on a tall ship and got more than she bargained for.

Not only did she get over her fear of sailing, she fell in love with it. It opened her up to a whole new way of living and seeing the world.

Heather recounts her experience of sitting up on top of the mast of the ship as they were about to arrive at their destination in Cuba, the first port stop after 2 weeks at sea, when she had the realisation that while she was excited about arriving at their destination, more importantly she had grown to love and appreciate the journey even more!

It was at this point that Heather realised that she wanted to live her life in a way that embraced the journey as much, or more than, the destination.

Since then she has followed her inner knowing and it has lead her on a fairly unconventional journey, which has seen her working on, and running, farms across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Heather shares her tales of being a apprentice as a wooden boat builder and teaching students from preschool through adult in gardening, cooking, and connecting more deeply with the land.

Most recently Heather got married and moved across the sea to a new country where she now lives with her love.

Elyse shares how following her chart success in the 90's, she then left the music scene due to self-doubt, as she no longer believed she could sing.

She shares her story of how she found herself again, and re-connected to her passion and purpose.

Elyse joined her first band with a group of friends at the age of 14. They were called Low Profile and had eight members. Elyse began by playing keyboards and backing vocals, but eventually moved onto Lead Vocals and Songwriting as it came so easy and natural to her. Elyse says; ‘I used to write lyrics about ‘lost love’, ‘looking for love’ etc….I would write about how I was waiting for someone to come and rescue me, love me. Nowadays I am at the other end of this spectrum and I write about ‘self love’, love energy’, ‘gratitude’ and more, all positive uplifting encouraging words.’Following her success with MAXX in the mid 1990’s, Elyse went through a period of self doubt and couldn’t sing herself for many years. During this time she undertook lots of personal development which included Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique, energy work, nutrition, fork-tuning therapy, vocal techniques, etc. She recalls:’ I became a workshop junkie, desperately trying to figure out how to fix things, but I also began to shape the link between sound, energy and vibration which would lead to a more holistic approach to my future music.’Around 2009, Elyse was working as a freelance vocal tutor, she remembers that one of her jobs was to run a music workshop with mental health patients. ‘I noticed that they loved to sing happy songs: it would lift them high and they would dance, smile and radiate an inner glow. These were special moments and it showed me that uplifting music can heal. However, although I sang along with the group, when it came to singing alone, I just couldn’t!’Elyse says that at this time she began to feel exhausted with life. She was affected negatively by other people’s misery, their illnesses, with paying the mortgage, other bills and just existing. Inside, she had this deep yearning to live a life of rich abundance, health, vitality and happiness. She wondered if she would ever sing again. She missed it deeply and felt like a huge part of her was missing. In the summer of 2012 Elyse made a major life decision and sold her house, car and other material possessions, giving some away to charity and friends. She’d heard the saying "If it’s not working, change it." and decided to do just that. She explains, ‘I thought, if I want to have a chance to sing again, I will have to change my life.’Elyse travelled to Nepal, where she became a voluntary music teacher, in a school located high up in the Kathmandu Valley. She lived with a family of nine, which was hard going, as she and her husband both have no siblings so were not used to such large families. One evening, three of the nine children of the house put on a Nepalese dance show, and the whole family sang and danced together. Elyse shares that she was deeply moved, and cried. ‘The Nepalese family asked for our contribution. I remember my husband pointed to me and said, to my utter horror, "She’s the singer in the family." I was put on the spot, but I recalled how, in the 90s, I had sung to thousands of people, and so I reasoned what would it matter if I performed to this small family up here in the valley? I sang the three new songs I had written, and they loved it. The host commented that he did not understand many of the English words I sang, but my tone and emotion were beautiful! The next day in school, the children asked: "Excuse me Miss, was that you singing in the valley last night?" Unbeknown to me, the whole of the valley had heard my voice and my words. I knew then that I had to continue, to spread my message of love, hope and peace through music. I had broken through my fear. My mind became open to new possibilities. It was then that I knew I would sing again!’In January 2013, after a 16 year break from fame, Elyse stepped back into the studio to record her first solo album, The Love Energy. The album consists of nine songs with very positive lyrics. Each song has been carefully tuned to centre on each of the nine principal ancient Solfeggio healing tones. The healing frequency runs subliminally right through each song, creating an overall balance and euphoric state for the listener. Elyse says: ‘ I just remembered who I was, and why I was here. I remembered my mission, my purpose. This is how I found my self-belief to pursue my music career. It was there all along, underneath, waiting for me. I just needed to believe in me again, and I am so grateful I did.’

That we are resilient, and that we are strong.That we need to tap into our own inner power and not listen to external influences.Support yourself with awesome, rocking people.We need to tap into play, fun and loving energy.

The Love Energy - Elyse G Rogers 

The Love Energy

Elyse Rogers is a vocalist with energy, a songwriter with inspiration and a versatility from experience. She explains where she has come from, where she is going and what it means for you.

“I have been a singer and songwriter from age 14. My early period was typical – working hard, understanding my strengths, learning what my fans wanted. That brought success – topping the charts with the German band MAXX, appearing on ‘Top of the Pops’ and touring the country. As I developed, my intuition told me I could do more with my music. So I started exploring.”

2012 was a defining moment for Elyse – the discovery of frequencies from our past.” I heard about a 528 hertz frequency that gave amazing results. But I didn’t realise it was one of a family of six, until a fellow musician introduced me to the others….the Solfeggio Frequencies, hidden for centuries but now re-discovered. I listened and felt how they gave music and songs a greater substance and depth, almost a healing power. I can’t explain why, I just know it works. And I wanted it to work for all my fans, past, present and future. “

Karen shares how it was a health crisis that brought her into alignment with where she is now.

Ever since she was a small child, she could hear, see and perceive things that not everyone else could and she chose to tell them to ‘shut up!’

Ignoring it, pushing it aside, because she didn't want to be seen as weird.

Then in her early 40’s she had her health crisis. Karen had already had a rich growing up of doing lots of things and exploring lots of things that allowed her to use her intuition, but there was an underlying feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

She didn’t know what to do with the feeling of being out of alignment or not being on the right path, because she had not fully opened herself to her true path.

She needed to reconnect to her spirit guides.

Karen explains that there is no magic to connect with your guides, you just say ‘Hello’

She says the ability to connect with our guides is always on, all that needs to change to be able to connect is our perception, we need to turn inwards.

She didn’t hear her guides because she had closed her ear and her heart to them, and the only time she could use her intuition was when she was in crisis.

This led to a negative psychic experience, because when you bury something down and try to ignore it, it always pops back up.

Who I am, at my deepest level, shines out of me, no matter what I think I’m doing to cover it up. And why I can try and hide, my essential self is still shining.

And all of the time that I spend trying to cover it up or being ashamed of it, is time I could spend doing something else.

LJ shares that after a nasty incident at work her friend asked her if it was going to be a new company or a new career, she chose a new career.

LJ explains how she left her career in IT to become a teacher, even though it meant a 50% reduction in her salary. Yet she readily admits, that the salary cut was a reason that this change had been delayed...

When she found herself just trying to get to the end of the next three month project, she knew something had to change.The money was no longer worth the hassle 

LJ shares that she chose to go in to teaching because she understand the power of teaching, having experience both the very good and the very bad.

Her high school teacher had told her that she couldn’t do maths, and she had believed him.Yet later in her career, she met another teacher who believed in her, and because of him she now holds a degree in engineering.Having seen both the sides of a teacher, she wanted to be able to give that positive experience to others.

She will now be teaching math to high school students.

LJ shares that 5 years ago she would have thought she would be working for herself and setting her own hours, she never would never have envisioned she would have been working for her principality 

She now understands that it’s okay to work for someone else if you’re happy.

She did IT because it was easy for her and paid well, but she wants to teach because it's what she loves to do.

LJ explains that if she ignores her intuitive messages, she gets clunked over the head by a piece of 2 x 4, so now if she hears these messages, especially when she hears them more than once, she makes sure she listens.

It is possible to follow your dreams.

I am happier and more excited about working than she has been for a long happy.Sometimes your path may not be working for yourself, but in more of a service role.
