How can we improve the small moments?
Find presence. Enjoying the small moments. The present moments. Finding gratitude for the things that are already happening instead of always yearning for these big events.
Can small decisions and moments add up to big things? instead of getting overwhelmed with the big things.
Are you taking life to seriously sometimes?
How can you create new small moments? Of things you want more of. In small bite size pieces.
Want to create more, spend a few minutes everyday creating (painting, writing)
Want to spend more time with your kids - spend a few minutes everyday - playing a game, chatting, crafting.
It doesn't always have to be in these big uninterrupted chunks of time. Find the pockets and do something that brings you joy.

This week I dive into some of the things that have been holding me back and what I'm doing to support myself through this. Taking action came come with a lot of fear. Some of us will assume we are the only ones that feel this way and that it's way easier for everyone else but this is not the case.
Today I dive into some of the tools I have been working with to help calm and regulate my nervous system, work on my negative self talk and rewire new beliefs so that I can keep take action towards what I want in life, in business or work.

Hi - I'm back. Well kind of. I found a few episodes that I recorded earlier this year that still felt more relevant than ever. This year has felt full, and as I like to say crunchy. Not a horrible year but definitely not smooth. Anyone else? In a reading I had with Jenni from @themediumexperience - she spoke about how she saw my business name. And it was such a great reminder. We are constantly growing and learning and to think we have arrived permanently is some what laughable. We thrive on grow so it makes sense that we would also have to accept the hard part that comes with all the good of expansion. Just a reminder, you're not doing it wrong.
Let me know how you year has been and what you are looking forward to in 2024.
Sending so much love,

As Halloween approaches and as this eclipse season as had me thinking about my past. I started to think about my experience with the ghost and wanted to see if others had documented anything from this hotel too. And jackpot. There tons of documented stories, from decades ago to current day.
It reminded me that what I felt wasn't a dream.
And I had so much fun learning more about the history of this hotel and pub. As well as hearing others experiences here to help validate what I had also felt.
Have you had any ghost encounters? If so, I would love to hear. Tell me more over on Instagram @frommartyrtomagic
For photos and more info about the hotel and hauntings see below.

I'mmmm back after a little back to school break. Recovering from a busy season and a bit of burn out.
Committing to and goal setting can be so fun, and exciting. Dreamy. But once we start working towards them - this is the hard part. We can talk ourselves out of it. The EGO or self talk comes up loud. Who am I? or insert your inner mean girl here.
Here is a little of what I'm going through as I start my book writing process. I'm so excited for it but it's also kicked up a new level of fear and ego to work through. Yet, this is what I live for. Growth. If we aren't growing we are dying. But also sometimes we are resting.
And highly recommend to write yourself a letter when you are feeling inspired, so you can read back to yourself on your bad days. Or call a friend who believes in you.

3 Steps to your morning routine.
As we head back into the fall, back to school and a more scheduled life, Here are my top tips to your new morning routine.
Done over perfect. Life is a marathon not a sprint so focus on 3 days a week and allow for deviation. Think long term and even if you are able to do it once a week for a few weeks, that's a new habit.
I think aiming for everyday or even 5 days a week can be unattainable/ unstainable and much more unrealistic. We are busy. So plan for the unexpected.
Stop with the all or nothing. Be proud of yourself for the little habits. Ie drinking water before your coffee. Meditating once a week. Celebrate the small.
Pick a manageable amount of time. Maybe start with 5 minutes of working out or meditating, instead of an hour, you'll likely be able to fit that in with even a busy day/week.
Bite size attainable habits and planning for real life instead of the perfect unicorn day which almost never happens.
I am working on drinking a glass of water before my coffee, and journaling and working out 3 mornings a week. That being said the workouts will start back regularly in September because . . .summer holidays. But this is exactly the point.

Well - it just needs to be said. You are beautiful and our bodies do so much good for us. We need to recognize and acknowledge that instead of just berating and saying it's never enough.
If you are like me, and many women I know, you have struggled at some point in your life with body image and body related self esteem. We are raised in a society especially as woman that we should look a certain way and anything other than that is unexceptable.
We all have such unique ideals, standards and relationships with our bodies.
I hope you are coming to LOVE and appreciate the vessel that helps us do most things on this ground we walk on. And learning that perfection in all areas in life but especially our bodies does not exist so start to let it go.
That our bodies are forever changing as we age and if we've had children. Learning to embrace the imperfections and beauties of our unique and ever evolving vessels instead of punishing it for never living up.
My wish for you is that you come to know how unique, wonderful and innately beautiful you are.
Let's drop the shame and step into our greatness.
Do the things we want to do, exactly as we come right now, in this moment, in this body.
May you feel healthy and happy and all the rest. And may our daughters not struggle as much as some of us have.
Oh and may we be walking examples to other women that our curves, soft bits, longer, shorter, uniqueing shaped bits are perfectly imperfect.
Flaunt it, love it, be grateful for it.
I love you,
Shannon
Let's stop to give ourselves some credit for showing up, for trying new things, for doing things you said you would do.
Let's celebrate all that we do. Even if it doesn't feel "enough". This is exactly the point. It is ENOUGH. You are enough. And we go first.
Shift things, and start to feel good about what you have done. and all that you do. And I bet you'll start to see others start to celebrate you too.

As always - thank you for listening.

Today is a throw back episode. I recorded this 3 or so months after taking a break from Instagram and all social media.
I was finding it hard to be productive, super distracting and just not feeling great.
Needless to say I increased my productivity 10 fold. Felt better than ever and even wrote a book.
Maybe I should take another break soon.
What would dropping social media allow space for in your life?

What are your money beliefs?
Do you hesitate to ask for more?
To ask for what you want?
If there is something you want but don't feel you can afford it. Have you actually looked in it? Have you received quotes? So even if it's not in the cards right now, at least you know what you are working towards. AND maybe you can afford it now. Or maybe you can afford having your house cleaned occasionally when you are busy, once a month?
Have you negotiated your salary?
Do you talk openly about money?
What are you feelings on this?
Are you aware of your energy. Of how precious it is? Or how it can get swayed or you get thrown off track by others.
A quick riff today on some awareness around our energy. How to set better boundaries. Examples of how Elizabeth Gilbert gave a great example when I went to see her live in Vancouver this past April.

We are back with Hell Yes Babes Club week 4 and we hit 50 episodes for the PODCAST!! I'm going to celebrate this milestone.
Week 4 - for HELL YES BABES CLUB - is all about dreaming big, and then dreaming bigger again. Leaning into the bigger YES.
We are all made of matter. The same molecules and substance as the people you look up to. If it's possible for them, it's possible for us too.
And after life happens, things shift and change, can you continue to dream big even if the time line needs to change. Can you continue walking forward, continue dreaming big even if it looks different than you thought.
At the end of your life you will look back on all that you did and followed through on or accomplished. Not what happened exactly as pictured in the exact timeline set.
Be flexible. Life happens but get back up and keep walking towards what you desire and know it's possible for you.

Hi beauties, Here is week 3. All about leaning into our edges. Moving past our comfort zone. Or where others might be comfortable with us living. Get curious on where you are stopping yourself. NO judgement, but just have a think.
We work on:
Reclaim what you want
Celebrate yourself and what you have already done
Vow to stay curious instead of shut down, figure out what's stopping you, or tripping you up, and then work on that to keep moving towards your hell yes.
I talk about human design authority - find out where if you don't know what yours is https://www.myhumandesign.com/get-your-chart/

Hi Beauties,
Welcome to Week 2 of the Hell yes babes club. Learning how to say yes to the life and goals.
Today's episode is all about movement and momentum. How to release what we no longer need or what's keeping us stuck. And how mini or small actions can lead to big goals and YES's. Rome was not built in a day, and actions compound on each other, the starting is the hardest part.
Journal prompts:
Releasing - What do I need to release?
What's not mine?
What are the things I no longer want to carry?
The things that I'm ready to shed?
A reminder that taking action is the hardest part and once we get the ball rolling it gets to be easy and even fun. The other side of taking the action is fun and play. Potential, creativity.

Hi babes, how are you? I thought it would be fun to share a course I did awhile ago as a 5 part podcast series.
Weclome to the Hell YES Babes Club.
We dive into deciding what your Hell yes's and Hell No's are, and how we are going to get there. Who we need to become to embody these goals, dreams and hell yes's. How to quiet the mind chatter and listen to what we already know we want, or desire and actually follow it.
We start out with baby Yes's and then progress on this 5 part series.
Oh, and did I forgot to mention you pick a theme song?! It's pretty EPIC.
Come have fun with us. And keep the conversation going over @frommartyrtomagic and let me know what your BIG YES is.

After having her first child and feeling uninspired from the
job she had left to go on mat leave, Katie used that time to really deep dive into what
she wanted for her future. From that she started her blog, life coaching and many more
trainings including NLP, EFT and of course Hypnotherapy which is what she does
now.
Helping people transform issues like anxiety, self worth
& chronic pain using the tools of hypnotherapy can truly be life changing.
How doing her own work and healing has really helped her
hold space for her clients in a bigger capacity, on show herself the power of this work.
The book that started it all for Katie - The Slight Edge –
by Jeff Olson
https://www.amazon.ca/Slight-Edge-Secret-Successful-Life/dp/0967285550/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1IMITQGFI9J67&keywords=the+slight+edge+by+jeff+olson&qid=1685502747&sprefix=the+slight+ed%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-3
Katie breaks down what a hypnotherapy session looks like and how we aren't rewriting memories or thoughts, more feel the feelings, process the emotions and feel a sense of safety afterwards and moving forward. So much of what we do is based on our subconcious thoughts and programming. This can be such a great tool when we get triggered or hit blocks or plateaus in our life and we don't know why.
Katie’s BOOK – comes out this week, June 2nd, The Uncaged Mind.
Check her out here and link in profile to buy the book when
it launches this week.

Well. . .it took a lot longer to get to part 2 of our relationship story. And mostly today is just a share on where we are right now. What it means and looks like to be married in midlife with kids. That the love will wilt if we don't tend to it. That it takes effort on both parts. Not only effort but also a willingness to look at our own shit, triggers and conditioning etc. That we all play a part in it. And of course, to have hard those conversations with some grace and tact.
A few of my tips of what has been working. And again, I by no means am an expert, just a woman in a marriage sharing my own experience. Life is a wild trip and I just keep unpeeling layers and learning more.
I would love to know what you think. What your experience is. Do you find this season of life hard? DO you have the whole marriage thing dialed or is there more that you want?
Part 1 episode LISTEN HERE EP.19 From the brink of divorce and back. Part 1 of my relationship story on how we saved our marriage. And learned to love ourselves again.
Join the conversation and I would love to know what you think over @frommartyrtomagic.
