Have you ever stopped to listen to that voice in your head that gives you a hard time about absolutely everything. That voice that pops up right when you are feeling a little triggered and maybe need some support instead of criticism?

He has written a book called Soul Statements that will become your guidebook to creating an inner dialogue that will change your life.

This week is a bit of a longer conversation than usual because... well... Jeni is so amazing! I met this awesome human in a networking meeting and the rest is history.

Have you ever wondered why am I here? Why do I do these things? What does it all mean? Those are exactly the kind of questions you can ask the Record Keepers and Jeni can help you get some guidance!

Jeni Holla’s journey underwent a dramatic shift from being a high-earning sales career and softball Hall of Famer to embracing her true calling as a transformative Energy Healer, Akashic Records Guide, and Soul Activator.

Two years ago, she and her husband traded their conventional lifestyle for a nomadic existence. This experience led to healing and the release of societal conditioning, unveiling her innate affinity for spirituality, soul activations, and the Akashic Records.

Jeni's unique approach to personal transformation revolves around energetics, soul frequency and alignment. She supports conscious leaders and spiritual entrepreneurs who are tired of battling their minds and yearn to activate self-trust, strengthen their intuition and align to their highest timeline.

You can often find her outdoors, grounding and connecting with nature. When her nomadic journeys lead her near mountains, she will be out hiking the trails and absorbing the mountains' potent energy.

Did you know 2024 is the year of Strength in the Tarot system? To me that means standing your ground but being gentle, not forcing.

And boy do boundaries fit the theme for the year!

I've totally been guilty of saying yes to everything when I should have been saying no, of taking on more and more and more and not pushing back and making sure I was taking care of myself. There are consequences to not having boundaries in relationships and at work!

If you've listened for any length of time you know how important I feel it is for you to take care of yourself so you can THRIVE and have the energy and resilience to be available to what is important to your... well... Today I'm talking with Tasha about what can happen if you don't stop to ensure you are taking care of yourself!

Carolyn believes if we go with the flow in today’s society, we’ll end up unhealthy and that we need to “walk against traffic” a bit to combat that. As a mother of 4 daughters, Carolyn knows what’s practical and what’s not, and she knows all too well most women don’t put themselves on their own priority list.

You might be feeling like trauma is overused these days (some days I definitely do!) - but today I'm talking with Dr. Hina Fatima about what it is exactly.

The screensaver on my phone says "You are the sole creator of your life - Own that!" So... the best way to own it (in my opinion) is to know where you operate from, why, and how to change it if you want something different.

This week we are chatting with Jenny Lee on the Back to Me Podcast!

Have you ever been in that place where nothing made you happy? It ripples out into your relationships and your job and your community... and it is just not a great place to live day in and day out!

Check out this week's podcast where I'm talking with Jenny Lee on how she found herself in just that place and how she not only got out of it but how she now helps others to do the same.

Jenny is a teacher of 20 years. She is inspired to help women be aware of their own self care after a realization of how her own lack of self-care had put her in the wrong path. After a few taxing life events, years of self-separation, postpartum depression and divorce, life directed her on the path of self-care and self-discovery. She uncovered her connection to happiness and inspiration through her morning routines and self-care embodiment. Jenny is now on the journey of guiding other women to heal and reconnect with their dignified and highest selves through morning rituals and self-care.

This week I am speaking with the super amazing Cassandra Ciarallo! I met Cass at a networking event and knew that she was someone I wanted to know more about. Today we are talking about stress and what it does to you AND finding ways to calm yourself so you can be happier and healthier.

This means learning how to connect to the safety, presence and trust within our own bodies, and how to be calm in the storm despite what is going on around us. She has transformed her relationship to Self over the years using the somatic and embodiment techniques from her studies in the Art of Feminine Presence to calm her nervous system and balance her energy. She now guides others to help them move from doing to BEING in their body and activating their true heart's desires. Knowing what we truly want is the essence that breeds clarity and our innate potential. Cassandra is a certified Transformational Coach, Art of Masculine/Feminine Presence Teacher, Reiki and Tao Healing Hands practitioner. She applies these modalities to her day to day life in order to better serve herself, her clients and the world.

This week I'm speaking with the amazing with Caurel Richards on the Back to Me Podcast.

Do you have a story about who you are that isn't real? Do you feel like you get to be yourself and feel like you can fully express who you are? Can you imagine how peaceful you would feel if you could just be you ... no need to try and please everyone else?

Have a listen to today's podcast and let's explore how awesome it could be if you let your light shine!

Caurel Richards is a dynamic and creative individual with a wealth of knowledge and experience having worked in multiple service industries in the last 14 years. One of the biggest lessons she learned in those years was the importance of mental health and how unhealed trauma can keep you stuck and away from the life you’ve dreamed of. 

In 2021, after completing her training with Marisa Peer to become a Hypnotherapist and a Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner, she founded the company In Divine Thyme Transformational Services. Her mission is to help clients with Complex Childhood Trauma break down barriers and release unhealthy habits and patterns to rediscover freedom and peace of mind. 

Her goal is to get you excited about life again by empowering you with a fresh perspective.

You may have heard this one... "Silence is a lock and chain, Communication is the key"

We are all on a journey to figure things out and (so far as I know) we can't always tell exactly what is going on with the person we are closest to unless we use that key and open to door to conversation. Yes, it can be challenging but it also has the ability to create an even better relationship!

Today I'm speaking with Andrea Richards!

Andrea is a wife and mother of two. She has worked in Human Resources in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada and has been a part of union negotiations, working with employees and managers to build healthy relationships and manage conflict as well as developed and implemented training in customer service and Human Resource practices. She also worked as a legal secretary for a law firm that handled family law cases.

During this time, she was able to observe and be involved in the divorce process for many couples. Through these experiences and the experiences of friends and family who have been through divorce, she has observed the many aspects and difficulties the parties go through during their transition.

With these skills, she helps provide the direction and information necessary for individuals to make decisions about their future.

She chose to become a part of Fresh Start Mediation because she seen how difficult divorce could be in the lives of those around her. The traditional method of divorce left many of individuals in a very poor position financially while their ex-partner was left in a better one. They simply did not have all the information that they needed to make better choices in their divorce process. This made her want to make a difference by helping others not make the same mistakes. She is passionate about saving her clients time, money and heartache so they can achieve their very own fresh start.

You know how much I love talking about all the aspects of wellness... with that in mind, have you checked out your Wellness Score yet?   

Did you know your body was built for pleasure? Why else do we have all these crazy senses?

I can remember as a massage therapist trying to help patients understand that pain was not something "wrong" but really it was just one of the only ways the body has to communicate that it needs something different.

Today I am talking with Naomi Harris about all that.... 

Naomi Harris is a naturopath and somatic sexuality coach, who specialises in supporting women to heal their pelvic and sexual pain and discomfort, so that they can live a turned on life full of pleasure, passion and epic sex. 

She works online with women around the world, who are managing a wide range of pelvic health conditions such as vaginismus and vulvodynia, as well as undiagnosed sexual and vaginal pain. 

When she is not supporting women to use their superpowers of arousal, delight and pleasure for healing, she loves hiking and getting lost in the beauty of nature.

Do you avoid certain feelings? Do you feel uncomfortable and like you just need to cheer up or "fix" someone who is going through something difficult?

But after changing nearly everything in her life (like her career, relationship, city, and hobbies) and realizing that she still didn't feel the wildness she most longed for, she set out on the heroine's descent to dismantle the cage that existed within and come home to her wise and wild self. 

Now, through coaching, embodiment, dreamwork, and creativity, she helps other women dismantle the inner cage, offers them a soft place to land, and accompanies them on the soulful journey to come back home to themselves fully.
