The Art Of Being H(YOU)man

Sometimes growth leads you away from home - and it can be painful to feel like you are wandering around in the desert on your own - and it can make you doubt that your growth is beneficial! Many times in my own life I have thought - "Maybe this isn't worth it, maybe I should just stay in the box!"Maybe that feels relatable to you - the growth you experiencing has so much loss incorporated in it that sometimes you're not sure if it's worth it!Joining me for the conversation are two amazing human beings:Katy Valentine - Rev. Dr. Katy E. Valentine is an ordained minister, a New Testament scholar, and most importantly, a Spiritual Strategist. She is in the business of empowering Jesus followers to live their best lives through metaphysics -- things like chakra, energy, and even past lives. She loves turning the tables on what it means to be a Christian, and shifting people away from the toxic backgrounds of their past and getting them to become the lightworkers they were always meant to be.  Kelly Irene - Kelly is an Intuitive Oracle Card Reader & Student Astrologer as well as the founder of Most True You Coaching. Kelly lived as an imposter in her own life for over a decade.

When is the last time you really heard and responded to the messages your body is trying to send you?

Our relationships need care and nurturing - including the relationship we have with ourselves! So how do you care for yourself and others, while dealing with the demands and needs of life?Joining me for that conversation is Janessa Finley!Janessa is a healer and coach whose mission is to bring love and connection to those who have all but given up on having fulfilling and nurturing relationships.  At the core of every single human is a need for connection, yet we inadvertently create patterns to push others away and protect ourselves. Sadly, this leads to never cultivating the loving relationships our hearts desire.  The secret lies in the relationship you have with yourself as it creates the relationships you have with others.  Janessa teaches, through a path of self-discovery, how to love and embrace yourself so you can extend this same love and connection to others.Find out more about Janessa here:http://www.fiercelyradiantsoul.comWanna attend a Soul Sister Women's Circles?I know you do!

We want to make a positive impact but we feel powerless - as one person what difference could we possibly make?But the way we show up does matter - the way we care for ourselves impacts more than just ourselves - our thoughts, actions, beliefs, and the way we treat ourselves is part of what creates a healthy society or a sick one!Joining me for today's conversation is Staci Backauskas!
