Meet Linda Wheatley! Over the past seven months, Linda has taken on the role as my editor for my first book, A Single Droplet (coming out on Audible and print within just a couple of months!). Not only have I experienced Linda's exceptional editing skills, and ability to amplify my voice in the book and sharpen the messaging, but I've gotten to know Linda personally. As soon as I began to learn more about Linda and what seems to be her many lives in one, I knew she would be someone who I would admire in life. In this episode, you too will witness the treasure that Linda is, and likely become inspired by her stories and insights. Please visit Linda's website to learn more about her and the work she is currently offering: https://sweetmangomuse.com/

You know those anxious moments when your mind takes you on a rollercoaster ride of scary "what ifs"? When you find yourself trapped in a story playing in your head and it feels like it's happening in real life? In this episode, I share the two responses that I use that help me work through these moments. I hope this episode brings you back to the present and instills a sense of strength in yourself.

It is hard to be around others all day. In this episode, I guide you through a short activity that allows you to escape for a moment from the outside world.

For much of my life, I've chased the next thing, always wondering what that grass on the other side smelled like, felt like, looked like! I've struggled with this inability to accept the present and my current reality. It has caused me a great deal of suffering and confusion over the years. But through daily practices, and a whirlwind of a year so far, I've felt something unfamiliar. Could that really be you, contentment?

Back in November of 2021, I published two podcast guest episodes with the magical Diana Leone. In these conversations, Diana shared her wisdom and knowledge about the female body; we specifically covered birth control, pregnancy, labor, and releasing pregnancy. As a full-spectrum doula and educator for the female body, Diana's work has touched many lives and will continue to ripple out. Sadly, Diana unexpectedly passed away, which is why I've combined both recordings so we can listen to over two hours of her dreamy voice and soak up the passion and love she had for women and their bodies. Please share her work with anyone who you feel would be interested, and if you feel inclined to donate to Diana's family, please use the following link: https://gofund.me/470bbbe9

There are things that you love doing. Whether it be drawing, traveling, eating, or putting together a puzzle. In this episode, I discuss why these things are meaningful and how to determine if they are truly important to you. Enjoy.

In this episode, we discuss how bad it can feel when we are constantly nagging at ourselves. Through our own judgement, criticism, shame, and rejection, we can forget how hard we are on ourselves every single day! This harsh self-reflection feels awful and is something I've been exploring within myself. Here, I open up about my personal experience with self-judgement and offer some insight on how I'm handling it.

I've always believed that the opposite emotion is always there. For example, there is joy behind pain and peace behind anxiety. At times, one feeling may be more alive than the other, but the opposite is always attached to the end of the other. I feel this to be true, but never understood how to get to the other side, that is, until I experienced deep emotional pain and joy in a single moment recently. In this episode, I talk about how I got to the other side and how to squeeze every drop out of life's offerings.

You know those moments when you feel like you're living in a nightmare? When you know that thing could happen to you, but never expect it to actually come your way? I'm in one of those moments and, in this episode, share some of the things that have helped me move through.

Let's look at life through a different lens.

If you're anything like me, you spend most of your days up inside of your mind, which can be a loud, judgmental, and even confusing place to live in! Although this is completely normal, to spend the majority of our time thinking, it can be problematic, as our wisdom and intuition rarely stems from this space. In this episode, I offer a way to balance the mind's activity and give you ways you can begin today. I also mention my free meditations, which you can find by visiting my website: https://www.toreyhill.studio/

In January of 2022, I finally committed to a regular meditation practice and since then my entire life and self has strengthened. I have never felt so clear, connected and mentally healthy. Ever. But it took me many years to warm up to even trying it. I always thought that I was someone who just couldn't meditate; like some people were born with the ability to meditate and others not. Because of the impact it's had on my life, I've spent a lot of time thinking about how I can talk about it with others in a realistic and approachable way. I believe that all living things can benefit from meditation, and would even go so far to argue that meditation is an instinctual practice that the human race has lost, but it can be difficult to know where or how to start. Here, we discuss the many types of meditation and how you can begin doing it.

Now that we've discussed why we aren't meditating (in last episode), let's chat about why we may want to. Here, I share the personal impacts that meditation has had on me as well as other changes you may experience if you begin a regular practice.

And before we can even begin we've got to address any resistance or hesitation because these are the very things that keep us from even trying! This is why we're starting here, in this mini meditation series on the pod, addressing the reasons why we aren't meditating. From here, we get to there. 

You know those days where you have something planned and other things just get in the way? Where you're left with the decision to either rush or force the original plan or postpone it, leaving you frustrated, resentful or irritable? It's hard when we expect to do something, where we set the intention, and life just doesn't happen the way you thought it would. In this episode, I share a personal example of this happening to me and offer another way to look at days like this. 

As we enter the new year, we may feel pressure to push and change and grow rapidly. We may set a goal that we're actually scared of and then spend the rest of the year avoiding it! This episode gives a gentle reminder of the work we do in this community. We're not here to do anything drastic, but rather take small steps every day towards ease. Take a listen to get this refresh and your invitation to join the community if you're not already in it! https://www.toreyhill.studio/

If you're reading this, you're someone who values growth. You probably jump at new things that you think will help you learn more about yourself and commit to practices that make you feel and do better. Me too. The challenge I face in living a life like this is that I can fall into a trap of never feeling good enough, that the best version of me is just around the corner. In this episode, I give us the reminder that the the current version of ourselves is already great. We aren't worthy or deserving because of the things we do, but rather, because of who we are. Right now. Even on our worst days. So, take a long inhale, grab a glass of water and press play. 

You know those things that you avoid like the plague? For some it's public speaking, driving in a city, answering a phone call, reading directions, or asking for a refund. It's the thing that makes your heart flutter and palms sweat, keeping you from sleeping the night before. This episode explores a personal example of mine revolving around the idea of doing the things that scare you. And if you're reading this, you're ready to listen. So just take a deep breath and press play! 

We're in the middle of the holiday season and while this is a special time of the year, one to be savored and grateful for, it can also leave us feeling scattered and off. In this episode, I share my personal pep talk that helps me feel a little more grounded and calm. 

When I was a young girl, my imagination would turn dark as the sun went down. I'd lay in my bed, paralyzed with fear thinking of scary creatures lurking around my room. Eventually, I'd muster the courage to scream for my dad. He'd come in and turn the light in. Instant relief would flood through my little body as I returned to reality, out of the thoughts that so easily swallowed me whole. And over the years, they continued to do so. Over and over again, always returning. And they still do, but I have a secret weapon; one that allows me to befriend my thoughts and mind. One that invites harmony. It is the simple idea that I am not my thoughts. And that is what this episode is all about. 

Stop for a moment. 

Slip out the back door. 

Let your feet sink into the cool earth. 

Close your eyes and tilt up towards the sky. 

Suck down the crisp air. 

Fill your lungs as you empty your mind. 

Reminding yourself how good it feels. Space. 

Sometimes we think we need to change pieces of who we are in order to become the person who we want to be. In this short, but sweet, episode, I offer a different approach. 

It's been six months of introspection... and here's what I've learned about goals. 

Hi everyone! It's been six months, and I'm back! It feels so good to be here with you again.

Meet my human, Jake Ryan. Jake is one of those people who will stop in the grocery store and have a meaningful conversation with you, even if he's in a rush.

To put it short, he is the best human I know. 

In this episode, I turn the mic over to Jake to share his process of growing and recharging. Prepare to giggle along with us as we take you through the vulnerable journey of getting quiet and going inward.

If you're anything like me then you know how it feels to get caught inside the productivity snowball; rolling so fast down the steep hill unable to stop. I found myself in extremely high productivity in 2021 and am finally at a place where I'm craving a deep, dark, cozy hibernation. In this episode, I share my personal experience and the mindset I'm choosing to approach this season with.

In early 2021 I decided to dive into the belly of all beasts and hire someone to guide me through my shadows. Since then, I've worked with two incredible women (listen to episodes 8 + 14) who held the space and support for me to explore the dark pieces lurking deep within me. Since this work, my life has quite literally never been the same. I am able to sit in the darkest corners of myself and feel safe, loving and curious. Shadow work is extremely powerful and when you hit play, you'll understand why. 

Note: Shadow work is beautiful and intense. Please find support if it becomes too overwhelming to explore on your own.

In episode #34, I had the intention to talk to Diana about birth control, pregnancy, labor, and releasing pregnancy. However, one hour simply couldn't give justice to these important topics, which is why I decided to invite Diana back on the podcast for a part 2! 

Meet Diana Leone, who is many things, some including: yoga therapist, doula and birth & fertility enthusiast. In summary, Diana specializes in womben’s healing & support. In episode #34, we talked all about birth control but in this episode we dove into pregnancy, labor and releasing pregnancy. You'll notice the underlying theme of trusting your body's evolution, instinct and wisdom. I love the perspective that Diana brings to this conversation and invite you to grab a pen and paper for this one.

Please consult with people who you trust and add more of your own research on top of this new knowledge before you make any decisions for yourself.

In this episode I share an announcement about something that has taken me months to let go of. Let's be real... it's HARD to let go of things, especially those that you've poured your heart and energy into. It can feel feel like a failure, but I believe releasing is part of evolving. Here, I share a big change coming up in my business. Not going to lie, I was definitely nervous to share, but it's time! If this resonates, let me know by emailing me or sending a message on Instagram. You know I love hearing from you.
