Self Care Is My Job

Sara Wells is a mom and founder of the Renewed Moms Revolution, based in Monmouth County, NJ, which is a business dedicated to helping moms reduce burnout and reintroduce simple pleasures back into their lives through locally based retreats.

Thank you Sara, for sharing your self care journey with us, and for all you do to give mom's a chance to prioritize themselves in the midst of all the expectations and overwhelm.

Sara shared that one of the most important forms of self care she introduced as a overwhelmed mom trying to find pleasure in her life was setting boundaries. 

"As a recovering people pleasing perfectionist, I have learned how important it is to learn to say NO."  ~Sara Wells

Nothing will force you to take a good look at your patterns and shadows like a major life transition, which can look like changing careers, moving, having kids, or becoming an entrepreneur!  I am so thankful to Fi Simler, Founder of Astra Business Coaching, for talking with me about showing up fearlessly and authentically both in life and business in spite of our core wounds and inner critic. 

We all have residual trauma from past experiences and absorbing programming, which can sometimes block us from taking steps toward the life we really want. One root of this trauma and blockage for many people myself included sounds something like: The harder I work, the more I bust ass, the more I am operate like a machine, is the only way to succeed. But, this mentality is approaching business and success as if it's a one dimensional thing, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Fi reminds us to slow down and ask the question - "Is this true?" Mindfulness through self care like yoga and meditation.  

"I had to ask myself: When did I learn that I needed to break my body to be successful?" ~ Fi Simler  

Fi Simler is a business coach and Instagram expert that believes it's time to give the middle finger to manipulative business practices, and that your success lies in you letting go of hustle and embracing your humanity instead! Fi helps her clients create results sustainably from space of embodiment and joy.

In this NEW Mom Bomb episode, we're talking to NEW MOM and Certified Master Life & Weight Loss Coach Jillian Lama!
Let's talk about ending the war with food as a form of self care / self love. We need to eliminate the idea that there are "good" and "bad" foods, or there are foods we "should" and "shouldn't" be eating. The "eat this, not that " message of the diet industry only creates war with food, our bodies and ultimately ourselves. 

Jillian and I encourage you not to say "screw it, I'll start again in January" as we lead into this holiday season since starting again often looks like a restrictive, short term quick fix, or even a punishment for your prior decisions, which only hurts the way we think about ourselves and our success.

"So often self care is positioned as "take care of yourself so that you can take care of others" instead of taking care of yourself simply because we're worth it and deserve to have some pleasure, joy and peace. A smaller body doesn't fix a broken self concept." ~ Jillian Lama

In this episode of Self Care Is My Job, we welcome Jen Haddix The Self Love Yogi and go deep into the work of rekindling self love and self worth. For those of us that have become aware that a lack of confidence (self trust and self worth) are what holds us back from living our full expression, we've also established that it's not as easy as flipping a switch on or off. To rekindle our sense of self love takes work. But it's a beautiful unfolding that we encourage you to explore. 

Thank you Jen Haddix for this amazing conversation! Jen is The Self Love Yogi and her work is in helping you to use yoga, meditation and self love to break the matrix and change your life. 

"Can you imagine if all of us were born and allowed to be the fullest expression of ourselves? The world would be a very different place." ~ Jen Haddix

Let's slow down and become aware of the ways in which we distract ourselves from discomfort at every turn.  Whether it's with alcohol or other substances or with an activity like scrolling social media, so often we have a tendency to numb, and self medicate our negative emotions and sensations. Don't worry! It's normal because it's what we were taught. But you can rip that program out and reinstall a new one. Release what does not serve you. Let go. #fall2021  If this video triggers you: ask yourself why and I love you. xo

YOU'RE INVITED TO THE SOBER OCTOBER CHALLENGE: An Alcohol free challenge for Self Care Over Self Medicating! 

We will collectively abstain from alcohol from Oct 1-15 (option to do the whole month!) I will provide daily a mix of education, motivation, and self soothing practices to help you along! Together we got this!

I have been following Nicole Smith Levay for some time and I am so excited for this conversation with her about Self Love and Living Authentically!   Major life transitions always send us in a new direction. 

When Nicole suffered from chronic pain, she discovered her scoliosis would put an end to her dancing career.  But her love for yoga and meditation paired with her body awareness from dancing led her to eventually acquire a Masters in Somatic Psychology.  

What is Somatics or Somatic Exeriencing? Much like yoga, mediation, dance or any movement practice, somatics makes up aware of our mind body spirit access points. While some people have more access at certain points, the important thing is to reestablish the connection between the three.  

"Somatic therapy incorporates body-oriented modalities such as dance, breathwork, and meditation to support patients through their healing journeys. In addition, somatic experiencing therapy sessions include talk therapy and mind-body exercises. This therapy aims to help release how a physical body holds on to stress, tension, and trauma, rather than only resolving problems verbally." - Verywellmind.com  

In this episode we explore the meaning and benefits of somatics, and discuss the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in order to as Nicole puts it: "Re-Member and integrate that truth back into your existing life." 

Nicole recently shared about an experiment in authenticity on social media, creating a separate account to practice sharing more openly without fear of judgement.  "I went into those outcasted parts for me and went for it, and it was so much fun. I had been shutting down parts of myself because I thought - this isn't professional - and now it's all coming back."  The first thing Nicole posted on the separate account was a picture of her body, something that so many of are fearful of. "There's this mind body split in our society. Body is only seen as objectified and for the soul purpose of procreation or sexual stimulation. What can we explore in this gray area?" Nicole Smith Levay  

What would be the first thing you would share if no one was judging?  

Nicole is a former professional dancer turned Energy Coach who integrates somatic therapy, meditation, and breathwork into healing sessions and classes for women who struggle with anxiety and depression.  Her work through Power Within Healing creates a safe integrative space for those overcoming adversity, and embraces the philosophy that pain is a teacher, and awareness through somatics is the medicine. To see all her offerings head to her main site:  www.thepowerwithinhealing.com

Coach and Freedom Facilitator Bridgit Norris joins me for a conversation about self love, self trust and remembering that you're free to live your life and run your business any way you like! Sometimes we feel the need to reevaluate everything in life or business, and in this conversation we make of point of normalizing that! Often it's labeled as "flaky" or "irresponsible" but that's coming from a place of negativity and judgement. 

"There is a thing, there is YOUR thing! You can pass it because you're rushing and pushing. You walk right over the obvious. They say slow down to speed up, but actually it's more slow down to reconnect." - Bridgit Norris 

We are all conditioned to fit in and fall in line, so we tend to do whatever society or the guru says is right, or whatever our peers are doing. We also tend to over-consume content and rely too heavily on training and tools. When you can reconnect to your Truth, you are able to genuinely Know what is sitting well with you and what isn't, what is aligned and what isn't. 

Thank you Bridgit for this enlightening conversation and for all you continue to share! You can find Bridgit Norris and her offerings online here: https://linktr.ee/bridgitnorris https://www.instagram.com/bridgitnorris/

If you love everything about yourself, and you never beat yourself up about anything, this episode is not for you. Truth is most of us do battle feelings of never feeling like we are enough as we are. We beat ourselves up for not living up to expectations we didn't create or agree to and it's time to put the bat down. We all have a story of not being seen or heard, feeling judged, hiding. Noticing this pattern and becoming dedicated to a healing journey, possibly enlist support to do so, is the highest form of self love.  

In this episode, I am vulnerably sharing parts of my healing journey back to self love to encourage others to start vocalizing their truth and in the hopes that I can be a mirror for someone to see ways in which they can work to heal themselves.

Heal the Mother, Heal the World.  

The Mother Wound refers to the generational trauma passed down from mother to daughter due to the expectations placed on women in a patriarchal society.   The purpose of this isn't to shame mothers of grown children or induce anxiety upon mothers who are actively parenting little ones. It's an important conversation that needs to happen for self awareness, the first step to healing.  "What we don't own we project, what we don't heal we pass on." - Bethany Webster (author of “Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming your Power") https://www.instagram.com/themotherwound/ 

Patriarchy can be triggering word for some people so let's define it. (n) A society where the father or eldest male is head of the family, men hold the power and women are excluded from the power.  Women's rights and equality have a come a long way, but the Patriarchy is still so strong and embedded that women self police themselves to fill the unrealistic expectations society has set for us.   Women are conditioned to believe that their place is to be small, quiet, submissive, subservient and for mothers specifically - self sacrificing. That conditioning is like a wound, a traumatic mindset that is passed from generation to generation. So even as the world evolves, the wound is there.  "Women will continue to feel stuck as long as we believe our safety is contingent on compliance with patriarchal standards and expectations."  - Bethany Webster (author of “Discovering the Inner Mother: A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming your Power")  

Women can work to heal the mother wound by living life on their own terms and we can do this by way of important forms of self care like speaking and living your truth, resting, asking for help, setting boundaries, and releasing the attachment to fulfilling society's expectations. Ask mother wound expert Bethany Webster says: "Feel the guilt and do it anyway."  

I want to thank my friend and fellow Life Coach Krista Kathleen for joining me on this episode and bringing this important concept into the spotlight! Her book "Beyond The White Picket Fence", which is available NOW on Amazon, is a perfect example a women healing this mother wound. It's all about how Krista, after many years of building what some would consider the "perfect life", pivoted and transformed her life to live on her own terms.

Parenting can both beautiful and complicated, rewarding and depleting. It's quite the emotional rollercoaster, and being in constant reaction to our kids can put our nervous system through the ringer.  

In this episode, we're talking with Integrative Mental Health Specialist and Founder of Embodied Parenting Jannae Rice all about using our triggered moments as growth opportunities to parent from a place of deep connection. 

Jannae offers this explanation for when we are triggered by our child's behavior: "Because of past triggers and traumas, it's hard to differentiate is this the past or the present? Our system gets glinchy, and then we are reactive versus responsive and there's a BIG difference." 

She also offers this advice for moving into embodiment (being in our body and present): "When we are HERE, we have access to so much more. We can access to choice in our sovereignty to participate in our life unfolding in the way that we want."

It's another Month of Mom episode and we're chatting with Jennifer Collard Forns, PT, RYT 200 about Pelvic Floor Health. 

Disclaimer: if you're not comfortable with the terms vagina penis vulva or labia...you can skip this one! 

Mamas, there is so much they don't tell us before becoming a mom, am I right?! All we hear about is how beautiful and rewarding an experience it will be. But we aren't fully prepped for what it will mean for our body. Many mothers experience urinary incontinence, painful intercourse and other issues post partum, and in many cases they are in need of physical therapy for their pelvic floor muscles.  

Jenn Forns wants you to know: "NO amount of leakage is acceptable!" Meaning your wellness and quality of life is IMPORTANT, especially for mothers. You are worthy of prioritizing your wellness and correcting these fixable issues. Just like therapy you would receive following an orthopedic procedure, therapy after childbirth is just as important!

It's May and it's the Month of Mom on Self Care Is My Job!  In this episode, Psychotherapist & Leadership and Empowerment Coach Lisa Drew and I discuss how balance in motherhood is a farce!  

Let's face it - it's very rare that we actually acquire balance for more than a moment before it's gone again. Especially in motherhood, when every part of our lives as mothers is effected by the needs of our kids, balance is fleeting. But that's OK! Lisa suggests that we throw out the term Balance, and replace it with Integration. Balance suggests everything is perfectly 50/50 but to integrate is to combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole. We can accept that everything together as whole is exactly as it should be.

The fascial system is a layer of intelligent connective tissue that coats nearly everything inside our bodies. It's proven that not only do we hold trauma from adverse experiences in our bodies in this complex system, but we also inherit the effects of trauma from generations before us. We carry it into our adult lives by way of language, not just with words but also in body language. We take on physical and emotional patterns that stay with us. Until we are ready to let it go.  

Heather Natoli is a massage therapist, homeopath, and owner of The Fascia Clinic. She works with the fascial system to help her clients release lifetimes and potentially generations of held pain. In this episode, we define and explain the importance of the fascial system, discuss epigenetics as well as how we can become aware of the ways to break the cycle of held trauma for future generations. Her offices are in Manasquan NJ and Lincroft NJ.

Spring is here and there is a rebirth in program. But in order to reemerge and bloom, we have to let go of what's holding us down or back in life. 

This month on Self Care Is My Job we are talking about the concept of Letting Go. Detoxing your life of people, emotions, things, or thoughts that do not in some way enhance your life.  What could you release in your life that would have a positive impact? What's holding you back? What weight are you carrying? What is something you can let go of that is not serving you in life? 

For me it means: Letting go of resentment and bitterness to improve my relationships. Letting go of the idea that I have to do more, offer more, be more than I already am. Let go of the masculine energy of hyper productivity and Go-go-go to embrace the feminine, slow down, and flow.  I even polled Facebook to see what letting go meant to other people. Let's dig in!

"Your first response is your conditioned response. Your ancestral response, generational response, the "supposed to" response. But your next response is going to determine your moment of Truth. Choose differently." - Denise Mortimer

As we dive deeper into the Spirituality series and the connection to Self, it's important to address how we can become self aware of our programming - the ideas and beliefs that are embedded from childhood and tend to govern our actions and decisions, but aren't necessarily aligned with our Truth. If we want to live a more fulfilled and authentic life, we have to start choose differently.

Denise Mortimer is a Trauma Release and Business Coach. She helps people to move past energetic and emotional blockages so they can step into their full potential and start thriving businesses. She uses Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Rapid Transformation Therapy, and Hypnosis among other modalities to help her clients achieve their goals. Her favorite self care practices are meditation, affirmations and hypnosis.

As we enter March 2021, we're focusing on SPIRIT OR SOUL in our Mind Body and Spirit series on Self Care Is My Job - YouTube Show & Podcast 💕😁🙏🏻✨ Let's have this conversation. So many of us hesitate to voice publicly our thoughts around our connection to Self and to the greater consciousness - God, the Universe, SOURCE. 

Let's normalize these types of BIG PICTURE discussions. Whatever you believe in. That is your path to a spiritual self care practice. It's important to believe in something. Let's discuss the benefits of a spiritual practice. On this episode, I share all about my own spiritual journey.

When I said we were getting into the body this month, I was not joking!

Coaching women to have amazing SEX. Empowering women thru PLEASURE.

IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY! And I have a JUICY gift for you. Introducing Danielle Savory, the Sex Coach for Women. Danielle coaches women to have amazing sex and empowers them through owning and claiming their rightful PLEASURE! 

We're getting into it! Have you considered that sex is a form of self care? Yup! I don't care whether it's with a partner or self pleasure. It's a major form of release we should focus on. In addition, it's so important to deliberately incorporate pleasure into our lives.

So how can we have more sex? What can we do to improve our current sex life? The answers are simpler than you might think. (hint: it involves something I preach about all 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 time 👏🏻 )

Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 like share and follow.  🙂

"There's always a solution, no matter how big your problem is. There is always a solution, you just have to be open to the concept of it" - Suzanne Orlando

YAY for our first of many #mombombmonday episodes!  I am so excited to bring the moms into our conversation, a group of women who struggle to prioritize themselves because of so many societal expectations. I am here to bring to light these concepts and help moms to prioritize their self care.

Are you thinking about starting a meditation practice?   

Lisa Castellano is a busy working mother of two. She has recently started a daily meditation routine and it's going great! Specifically, she says she's more mindful of her words and actions at work and can make decisions with more clarity as long as you meditates in the morning.  

Through several conversations with Lisa about her experience, we realized there are some clear concepts that beginner meditators should definitely know about. For example, meditation is not about "turning your brain off". The act of noticing and becoming a witness to your thoughts, instead of an active participant is itself the practice.

Slowly but surely, we are normalizing talk therapy for managing anxiety, stress and improving our mental health overall, but how often do you hear someone talk openly about their experience in therapy?   

Sharing your past traumas, self discoveries, and lessons can be a very vulnerable. But Krista Kathleen, has done just that on this episode of Self Care Is My Job.   Krista Kathleen is a Life Coach from St. Louis, MO. She has chronicled her journey from labor and delivery nurse to life coach, and her growth process to begin prioritizing her own needs and desires in her book Beyond the White Picket Fence, to be released. Through coaching, she now helps women start online life coaching businesses.   

I want to thank her for brave and forthcoming shares on social media about her experience with therapy, as this only helps to destigmatize therapy as a form self care for mental health. You can find more information about Krista and all of her offerings at kristakathleen.com.

Self Care doesn't have to look a certain way. "It doesn't actually matter what it is,  all that matters is what it does for you." - Ankhara Rose 

Breathwork and meditation are great forms of self care to develop mindfulness, or what our guest this week refers to (I think more accurately) as a "presence practice". In this episode of Self Care Is My Job, we discuss breath and presence as a mode to cultivate self-awareness. Self-awareness is a way to come home to our body (to "get out of our head").  That connection allows us to experience real pleasure again, which is something we have lost touch with in a world that devalues stillness and the savoring of a moment and only rewards constantly striving and achievements. 

Meet Ankhara Rose! She is a modern day mystic with over 20 years of teaching breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, and sound healing. Her calling is to help people release hidden traumas through breath and sound healing so they can move past blockages and come back to pleasure.  You can view all her offerings at ankhararose.com and look out for a Pleasure Portal Breathwork Group Coaching Session coming December 2020.
