In this episode, we are going to explore the topic of being Sober curious. It's meaning and how I have explored this in my own life. Being sober curious involves questioning your relationship with alcohol, why you drink, and how it makes you feel. Sober curious is more of a choice to abstain from alcohol for some amount of time for physical, mental, or even spiritual benefits. It also means questioning the way society can glorify the consumption of alcohol. It’s about getting curious about what ...

In this episode, we discuss ways to cultivate an evening meditation ritual that you can commit to. Sitting down at the end of the day to collect your thoughts and meditate is incredibly transformative. It allows yourself time to shift from the hustle of the day into the calm of the evening. Instead of racing throughout your day and bringing that energy into the evening, you are mindfully transitioning from day into night, and that of work to that of rest. This way you can stress less, sleep bett...

How can we take cues from the lunar moon phases to better understand our own cycle? We have all been conditioned to believe that we need to perform at the same level day in and day out. We tend to just think about our circadian rhythm. Our solar rhythm. That is our 24 hour clock. Yet, for those of us who menstruate, It’s not the only clock we run on. Just like the cycles in nature - there are many cycles at play at the same time. We also have an infradian rhythm - our menstrual cycle. Follicular...

We will even do a breathing practice together that you can do when you are experiencing period cramps or honestly, anytime you need to calm your bodyMind. Period cramps, why do we have them and what is going on? During your menstrual period, your uterus contracts to help expel its lining.

How good are you at setting boundaries? And… How good are you at committing to them when you set them? In this episode, we’re talk about setting boundaries. What that looks like, how to set them and how to honor them. Part of optimizing our cyclical nature is about getting clear about our boundaries and honoring them. And this is especially true for us within our cycle when we shift into the more inward focus part of our cycle - the luteal phase and menstrual phase. This half of our cycle it is ...

We'll also discover an opportunity to realign, envision, and gain clarity in understanding your definition of success so you can step into the life you are dreaming of and be in alignment with your higher Self.

I'm not sure about you, but I am such a sucker for love stories and in this episode, I’m going to share my story of how I once went on a first date - and didn’t realize it. This episode is a bit of a more personal share and my hope in sharing this is that it’s a) entertaining b) opens you to possibilities. In my 20s, I wasn’t necessarily looking for a committed relationship. In fact, I was terrified of them. I wanted to travel the world and didn't want to feel tied down and mostly, feared being ...

Exercise is not just about getting healthy for health’s sake. It’s not about exercising because you think you ‘should” or your doctor told you “should”. If that's the case, it becomes just one more thing on your never ending to-do list that you need to get done today. Think of your movement practice as this tool to tap into your power, your inner fire, your spirit, that which allows you a clearer connection to Source, the Universe, God, Creator, your Higher Self. Whatever belief system that you ...

There are times in our life that even if we are mindful of setting boundaries we still end up with a lot on our plate. It happens to all of us. And when we start to take on too much and our boundaries start to get compromised, we can feel overwhelm creeping in. And then the voice in your head starts to spiral into ‘how am I going to get this done? I don’t have enough time?’ Even using all the time management skills you have and making check lists and to-do lists, and spread sheets to manage proj...

At the time of this episode, it’s the summer solstice. A time that often represents freedom and happiness. It can be a time where we strengthen our friendships. We can think of it as a time that represents optimism, positivity, hope for the future. It represents life and the endless possibilities that await. And with all of that being said, it can be an easy time when we get swept away with all of the things. Do you feel this way? Like you are saying “Yes” to everything? And when we say “Yes” to...

At the time of this episode coming out, it is a full moon and I felt called to offer this guided meditation that can honestly, be done whenever, and is also fun to play with during your inner full moon phase. So for those who are cycling and leaning into cyclical living, this can be a great guided meditation to use during your inner full moon phase or your ovulatory phase (roughly the halfway point in your cycle). Alternatively, if you’re working with the lunar phases, this can be a great one to...

Where does imposter syndrome sneak into your life? Or does it? It’s that vicious cycle that goes through our minds and is incredibly prevalent with women. I read a study* that stated 75% of executive women report having personally experienced imposter syndrome at certain points in their career. Somewhere along the lines we were made to feel unsure of ourselves. And perhaps somewhere along the way, we started to second guess ourselves and second guess our feelings even in the most seemingly small...

Are you a night owl or an early bird? As for me, I do LOVE the mornings. There is something so sacred feeling about being awake to witness the earth waking up around you. Taking time in the morning to start the day with a self-care ritual gives you a sense of accomplishment and a deep sense of self-worth. Yet, sometimes, we just need a little help in honoring the commitment to our morning self-care practices. My hope is that this episode will help you put the foundation in place to honor the com...

Cycles bring us into balance. And we see this reflected all around us - the growing cycle of your garden, the cycles of the seasons, the cycle of the moon, and our own hormonal cycle. And for as much energy that we put out in being productive and getting things done, there must be the opposite energy on inward focus and self-nourishing to keep us in balance. So how do you feel grounded again when, in your cycle, you make the shift from outward to inward focus? Well, a simple way is through self-...

We have all had those days where we feel like we are getting swept away by stress and anxiety. Where it seems like all of the external noise of the world echoes in our head and it’s hard to have a clear thought. Having a toolbox of self-care techniques to tap into helps you stay grounded and more capable of weathering the storms of life. There are many ways to feel grounded and in alignment with that place of calm that lies within. These are my top favorite ways to stay grounded. And as promised...

I received an email that through me off course a bit. In short, the email was from a woman who is postmenopausal who used hormonal birth control and then hormone replacement therapy to bypass the 'ups and downs, pains, and hormonal storms' that go along with being cyclical. The email was written in a way that wasn't meant to be from a place of loving kindness, shall I say. Anyways, after regulating my stress response (thank you, deep breaths), I had some moments of inquiry about our 'Why' behind...

Shortly after I started this podcast, I received a message from a listener asking if I was planning on adding any guided meditations to the episodes. And with my background as a yoga teacher and mindfulness educator, among other things, I actually had planned on sprinkling some in for you to enjoy. And this message from a listener was just the spark I needed to motivate me to share. This meditation is honestly, just a great go-to guided meditation for when your mind is stuck in a loop. I find it...

We can probably all agree that this past 2 years, our habits have shifted quite a bit, and one thing is still certain, we are probably all pushing ourselves just as much to be productive. It is ingrained in us to be perpetually productive - yet, it’s not sustainable at all. Taking cues from the natural world around us shows us that even the earth rests and so should we. So something as simple as taking your lunch break, can be the recharge that you need to rest, recalibrate, and refresh for the ...

Your luteal phase can sometimes get a bad wrap, too (think PMS). This is the time we start to turn inward and start to nourish ourselves. And I don't blame us. In a society that boasts networking, socializing, putting others first, it's no wonder that we tend to overextend ourselves when our biochemistry is yelling "Slow down!" What's up with my hormones now? Once the egg is released, your body will have a surge of progesterone. Then once your body confirms you aren't pregnant, all hormones begi...
