    Hosts:

    Darlene Ondi, Connie Brown, Belinda Muse and Piper Burch


    Darlene starts off this episode sharing her “dark night of the Soul” experience that took place in 2012. She learned the life lessons of discernment and contrast. It’s important to know what you want and what you don’t want and what truly resonates with your “Heart’s Calling”. Darlene goes on to let us know experiences she learned that assisted her healing and getting back her Mojo...from walks by the ocean, the sound of waves to assist her sleep, movement and exercise on her trampoline, mirror exercises, and laughing!


    Piper chuckles when she explains that in the New Orleans area where they are currently having Mardi Gras, that Mojo is used quite often...lol Joie de Vivre is about alignment, everything falling into place and synchronicity. MOJO is synonymous with ENERGY. Piper educates us on Rejuveniix which is High Vibe energy made from super fruits.


    Belinda goes on to add that MOJO is PURE JOY! You are at your very best and living your PASSION! In order to get back your passion, you need to know what your passion is and this is where she mentions that “her boy” is Keith Urban (Hell to the Yes)!!!


    Connie from Chicago refers to MOJO as music...and that it doesn’t always mean Joy. For Connie, it means to be in complete alignment, aware of what’s going on and being in complete control. Control of thoughts, emotions, feelings, and being completely on task. Her personal mojo is when she is heading in the direction she wants.


    Tips for finding your MOJO:

    ~Don’t get comfortable with being comfortable

    ~Find your Soul Group and Soul Food

    ~Learn about the GREEN coffee bean to turn on your Brain

    ~What is a heart-opener? It about feeling ALIVE!!!

    ~L-theanine - This is an important one to know

    ~Know that holding each other and hugging your mother is Grounding and Healing

    ~Start your day with Gratitude (your Brain thrives on it!)

    Hosts: Darlene Ondi, Connie Brown, Piper Burch and Belinda Muse


    Darlene reminisces about movies that deal with matters of the brain such as “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (does that date her?), and The Notebook (who didn’t completely bawl through that one?). She goes on to share the frustrating story of her walking into a room 3x because she kept forgetting what she was going into the room for. She thought she was losing it; it was simply her brain telling her….Too Much Going On! Darlene counts on nature to feed her mind!


    For Belinda and her brain, the joke at home is...Where are the keys??? Did you know that your brain can dry out? Belinda speaks to her new found knowledge on the Lion’s Mane Mushroom and how fantastic it is for brain function. Going through a recent loss in the family, Belinda also shares how grief affects your brain.


    Piper educates us on a couple of bi-directional adaptogenic herbs that are phenomenal for when you are feeling overwhelmed. This rejuvenates and enhances brain function and who can’t use that!!!! Rosemary is the herb of remembrance and great when you are studying or recall when you’re writing the exam. Also learn why you want the BEST Omega 3 rich fatty acids as your brain feeds off this. Healthy blood flow, repair, neuroplasticity...Hello!!!! Piper closes with speaking to hydration. Its what keeps our electrolytes balanced. Our brain needs to be bathed in electrolytes. It’s all about movement and flow.


    Connie boldly shares that this is about putting things out to The Universe and being heard. Stress is not good for the brain so it’s important to learn how to manage that. Breathing is key. Friends are also a great way to stay sharp. Connection is integral! Connie goes on to share the importance of learning something new especially later in life because it rewires your brain. As an employer, Connie gives us keys relating to knowing how people learn. Also being honest with yourself and how you learn and why you want to surround yourself with people who learn differently than you.


    Points to Ponder:

    Knitting and Painting may be tasks to clear your mind and activate your creativity

    Your potential if you were to tap into 100% of your brain

    How your brain works on a different level with Confidence

    Hypo/Hyper...it’s all about balance

    The brain uses up more energy than any other organ in your body

  • Matters of the Heart

    Episode brought to You by Magnical D


    Hosts: Darlene Ondi, Piper Burch, Kate Miller and Belinda Muse


    Darlene starts this episode with letting the listeners know that previous to 6 months ago life as a single woman was full, fun, and free, with that being said, being in a new relationship has created a new way to experience the “day of love”!


    Living 4 blocks away from a chocolate factory, Darlene shares her experience of having what she thought was the best chocolate...that is, until she met her first and only chocolatier, Piper Burch. Once you’ve had organic, sourced from the best places chocolate...You can Never Go Back!!!


    Piper reminds us that Matters of the Heart are physical and non-physical. She speaks to the leading cause of death which is heart dis-ease. Have you heard of the importance of Vitamin K, why you don’t want to be calcified? Reishi mushroom is her favorite support/heart-opening herb. Learn what Shen tonic is and why this is helpful to the heart as the center of our emotions. Long-term, un-resolved stresses of frustration, fear, anxiety, disappointment ultimately lead to our death (Gregg Braden). Resiliency is the key!!! Piper shares how being content and fulfilled as a single woman assists with heart health, and that she really didn’t understand the value of Valentine’s Day until she had her daughter.


    Kate used to dread Valentine’s Day if she didn’t have a boyfriend. As a young woman, she used to feel left out and unworthy. Kate has studied LOVE. It’s not a personal thing. LOVE Belongs to ALL of US! (What a gorgeous statement!) Kate recalls buying a card every Valentine’s Day on behalf of her deceased brother for her mom. She later went on to add her step-dad so that her mom would receive a card from “her boys”. Her mom would wait in anticipation for these cards because they meant so much. Each Valentine’s Day, Kate pauses and thinks about the people she loves. She quotes, “the pause is precious”.


    Belinda is celebrating 43 years of marriage. Valentine’s Day to her...this is about showing your love on a daily basis. She shares that there are still girls who are devastated if they don’t have a date on Feb. 14th. Go out and find somebody to Love on that day! Belinda goes on to share the passing of her beloved mother-in-law and the outpouring of love from the community. Belinda ends on a much lighter note with letting us know that after this many years of Valentines that she can get away with “recycling” her cards and just getting a new envelope. Belinda’s tip…”where’s the chocolate?” LOL

  • Laughter is the Best Medicine

    Hosts: Darlene Ondi, Kate Miller, Heather Paige, Piper Burch, Belinda Muse


    Darlene starts off the episode by sharing that she has always been a Dreamer! There was a time in her life that she had forgotten to laugh. She went to Google to find that children laugh 300x to every 20x an adult does (isn’t that ridiculous??!!!). Darlene goes back to the archives of a few hilarious incidences at church, and she wasn’t the only one.


    In the past Kate used to worry about criticism around her singing. With her new singing partner she has discovered that feeling safe and being able to laugh during practices that she has never felt better as a singer. They find their mistakes funny. Laughing has been very healing and healthy for her. You’ll also get a kick hearing her “crawl through the window Christmas Tree story”.


    Belinda speaks to the art of being able to laugh at yourself. She chuckled as she reminisced about a story where she was out at a professional presentation “looking all fine” and recalled a man that was paying a lot of attention to her legs. She thought that he really liked her legs until the “receptionist” shared that she had on two different color shoes! She later spoke to the “Infectious Laugh”, that you don’t need to see someone, you simply hear them.


    Heather talks about the bonding times with her son and how they love to watch funny movies. She reminded us of the movie based on a true story called Patch Adams. Robin Williams did such a remarkable job (miss that man!) in his role. Heather shared that it’s about changing the radio station to consciously lift the mood and heal yourself.


    Kate then came back in with her own true story around changing her mood by doing HA, then HA HA, then HA HA HA and then taking her pic. She was laughing so hard at herself that she said it is one of her favorite pictures of herself. She switched her mood simply by CHOICE!


    Important Points on Laughter:

    Mimicking your laughter is a Compliment!

    Hosts: Darlene Ondi, Kate Miller, Connie Brown, Piper Burch and Heather Paige


    Darlene starts off the episode by sharing that in the past she was a very anxious and nervous person. She used to smoke two packs per day to calm her nerves and had horribly painful panic attacks. Honoring her lungs she learned to deep breathe and now practices breathing techniques during her meditation that brings her body literally to LIFE!


    Kate recently experienced a rain storm that flooded a storage unit that held her precious treasures. She told herself to breathe before she went into a panic to go through her “stuff”. Because she was intentional and was looking for the goodness, Kate came across so many items that she needed. She stressed the importance of taking responsibility in how she responded.


    Connie shares a snowball email experience that rocked her world and really had her taking time to breathe. Once she intentionally took that time to pause, breathe...everything became clear and she arrived at a solution.


    For Piper, breath is our most fundamental element of life. She speaks to her experience of natural childbirth and how her breath carried her through. Piper reiterated how you can’t get through it if you fight it. Your breath is there for you! It is LIFE FORCE!

  • Resolution Revolution

    Hosts: Darlene Ondi, Piper Burch, Kate Miller, Connie Brown, Belinda Muse, Heather Paige


    Darlene starts off this episode going back into her past revisiting breaking resolutions. One example was her “trying” to kick the smoking habit and not making it to the end of the day. The intention was to only feel better about herself and ended up doing the exact opposite. Now is the time for true change. Release the word “try” and evolve into the Doing!


    Piper asks, “Who keeps Resolutions?” This is about lifestyle, finances, personal mastery. Say….”I AM Making Better Choices!!!” She spoke to her transformation and how “Katrina” changed her life for her to truly realize...what is important!


    Heather states boldly, “I AM Ridding Myself of Toxic Relationships”! And is truly embracing that for the New Year. The greatest gift we can give each other our time and genuine attention.


    Connie shares, “Every Day is a New Dawn!” Connie is an achiever and if she doesn’t achieve something every day she feels bad. She is a checklist person, and everyday she checks one thing off and that helps her feel good about herself. Her goal this year is to BE more Present and find her Authentic Voice!


    Kate thinks about what she doesn’t want to bring into the New Year and consciously lets those go. Then she thinks of the things that have really worked well and how excited she is about going into those areas in a bigger and better way. Every day she says, “Something Amazing Awesome is happening to ME today!” This is a year for Kate to step into her adventure!


    Belinda coming from a sales background talks about the importance of “taking a Breath” because its about breaking down the year into quarters and surpassing your last best. She states how procrastination really is fear and a lack of confidence. Belinda shared how she is not the same woman she was a year ago and how she has always wanted to speak to large groups of people and she is now doing that.
