Being ghosted sucks, but what sucks less is sharing your stories on a podcast for others to hear and resonate with. Now 5 years out, Alina Zielinski comes on to today's podcast to share her story about Houdini, but more importantly to give the inside vulnerable scoop on what it was like in her early 20's to be ghosted by the person she thought she was going to marry. In a great turn of events, that thankfully did not play out in the way she wanted, Lina received the life she had finally been dreaming about. Without that magical disappearance, Lina shares how she feels she wouldn't have grown and how life became so much better after he left. This episode will leave you with plenty of laughs (and if not we sure had enough of them!) and remind you of your power. Even in the worst of situations we gain the ability to grow and make life ours again! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
Do you ever find yourself in the loop of negativity? Self doubt? Sadness? Frustration? You're probably in a state of low vibration!What the hell is low vibration, and how do you get yourself out of it? Take it from me, a space of low vibration is NOT where you want to be living your life. The more low vibration energy you're embodying, the lower vibration you are attracting. What does this mean? It means less opportunity, more negativity, and a loss of self. Ain't nobody have time for that shit. So how do you get yourself to a higher vibration? Simple. You notice you're in a low vibration, and you get yourself outta there! I give so many ways in order to move out of this lower energy zone and explain how you can catch yourself in this cycle in order to heal it! I challenge you to raise your vibrations to live a life of happiness, purpose, and wealth! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
2023 has been a year...and we're only 3 weeks into it. I have been through the ringer and back and I feel like it took a major hit to my ego to realize that I have not been living the life that I have wanted to live, but instead have been surviving in the life that I thought I needed. Back in 2020, I made a promise to myself to be in my highest self at all times. I vowed to have confidence, hold myself accountable, and develop my life of purpose because I owed myself that. Very shortly after making that promise to myself is when I got involved with Tim (my now fiancé). I have always been a person in relationships that shifts into the role of whatever the other person needs me to be. However, I began this relationship with the intention to always remain true to myself. I feel that for the most part I kept this promise, but I very easily became comfortable with living a life in the roll of "wife" or "housewife" without diving deep into my wants and needs as an individual in the relationship.2023 has the energetic message that we must shift, feel uncomfortable, and make serious changes in order to have the lives we have always dreamed about. For me, that meant taking a hard look in the mirror at who I have settled into being over the past 3 years in my relationship, and understanding and admitting to myself and Tim that that is not the version of myself that I want to be. So what do I do? I shift. I have learned that in order for us to grow forward in a marriage, we must grow as individuals. Listen to this week's episode to hear my story and how I am handling this shift within myself. https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
Beep, beep - we've all had an unfortunate seat on this fucking thing. The struggle bus and I are long acquainted friends. I believe our first interaction with one another was probably... 26 years ago. Andddd we're still going strong with our commitment to one another. I have been riding the struggle bus HARD for the past couple of months, and I know that I'm not alone. From my weight, to my anxiety, and everything in between, it has felt like I am on a constant loop of disappointment and frustration. But how do I get off of it?Well, sometimes you don't. In my case, I'm unfortunately meant to be a ride or die with the struggle bus for just a bit longer. However, instead of being the driver or passenger princess, I've gladly taken my seat in the back to watch the view and keep my eye on my destination. Because that's sometimes the reality of life. In this episode I go over exactly what has led me to this bus, and how I'm navigating it! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
One of the biggest questions I get asked by others is how to distinguish one's anxiety, thoughts, and overthinking (the ego) from our intuition. Like so many of you, I have struggled with this exact concept for as long as I can remember. I never knew if the thoughts and judgements of others were influencing my own soul, or if my soul was even working! After listening to mentors, practicing, and learning about myself and my soul, I learned how to pick up on the subtle whispers of my soul in order to let my intuition fly. This episode goes into greater detail of the difference between the two, and how to help yourself find your intuition! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
Change is scary as fuck. I used to hate change, but now I love the feeling of empowerment I get when I get to decide how my life runs. Change has helped me to leave relationships that weren't serving me, find a career that is aligned with my passions, and meet people that help me grow into the woman I am meant to become. The season of change; making the conscious choice to change, admitting to yourself that you are not your fullest state of happiness, and using deliberate action to carry out the changes necessary for you to align with your highest timeline are all necessary for you to start loving your life again. In this episode I share some of my scariest change stories that have led me to my current path. The coolest part about this episode? I'm in the middle of yet ANOTHER change in my life. And guess what? It's scary. I'm scared of what others may say about this change. BUT, I'M DOING IT ANYWAY. Listen to this episode, and reflect back on a change you may be scared to make, but ultimately will set you on the trajectory you need most. https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
I have struggled with General Anxiety Disorder for as long as I can remember. From the time I was little, I have always lived in the past of extreme guilt, overthinking, and panic. I constantly ran scenarios through my head of what the future could hold, how things might play out, and how negativity might creep up on me any chance it could. I work with so many clients who suffer from Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, and so much more. We as a collective are constantly looking for this "fix" to avoid these harsh emotions that accompany these lovely mental illnesses, but this episode helps to shift that perspective. Throughout Episode 5, I reference Jonah Hill's newest documentary, Stutz, all focused around mental illness. I talk in depth about the references made throughout the docufilm and how I have personally used these same tools to help the healing of my own Anxiety. The lesson and the message I want listeners to learn from this episode is although you will never be 100% free of these disorders, you can tremendously change your life and how they affect you daily by simply implementing tools that help to sooth the root cause! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
If you're anything like me, you struggle with getting quiet, finding your zone, and because of this you resent meditating. For the longest time before I started my spiritual journey and even in the beginning, I would avoid meditation at all costs. It was because I couldn't do the "traditional" form of meditation where I would sit still, quiet my mind, and completely relax. That was until I began understanding that meditation was just a way for the parasympathetic nervous system to engage itself. In this episode, I'm going over how your individual learning style (yes, the teacher in me is coming out) impacts the approach you take for meditation. I share my struggles, my stories, and how I now meditate to receive all of the information needed to make the most important decisions in my life. Furthermore, I share how meditation led me down the road of inner child healing, the most powerful branch of healing that I use to clear away blocks and open myself up to receiving all that I desire! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
When I started my healing journey, the bit of advice I was given by my dearest friend was to dedicate AT LEAST 20 minutes to myself every week to my healing journey. I took that as 20 minutes of torture where I was left alone to my thoughts and nothing else that would MAYBE help me in the long run. Boy was I wrong!My Self Care Sundays (what I eventually coined this 20 minutes as) actually saved my mental health. They helped me to find time every week that was dedicated solely to my soul, my beliefs, and myself. I learned who I was by finding time to dedicate to my thoughts, feelings, reflections, goals, and so much more! Eventually, my Self Care Sundays transitioned from 20 minutes, to 30 minutes, to an hour, and the whole day, to now each and every day, multiple times a day! This concept of self care and finding time where I put myself first transformed the people pleaser in me to realize that the world still spun, people still loved me, and most of all I had an appreciation for myself that was yet to be discovered. This episode covers in detail the journey I went on with self care. I talk about how I started, the rough points I went through, the learning curve I was handed, and how it has impacted my life in the best way possible now. I can't wait to hear your thoughts! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
I have been asked by so many clients over the years to help them find their soulmates, and every time I come to the same answer - there isn't just one, and we'll never find them without being authentic. Authenticity is one of the keys to finding a relationships that makes your soul lurch forward, that makes the magic come to life, and what allows you to finally feel like you "made it". By being authentic, we allow our soul to lead the way which attracts the person that you are looking for as "the one". In today's episode, I'm sharing all about my struggles with being authentic in the past and how it led to heartbreak after heartbreak. I get real and vulnerable about how I ended up attracting the relationship that I have now, and what we had to grow through as individuals to find each other. https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
I've been promising this episode for longer than I can imagine - and it's finally here. We're talking all about my embodiment journey and how it started. Like so many of you, I was a lost 22 year old wandering around this world with so many energetic ties, weights, and confusion. I knew that I needed healing, but where tf was I supposed to go, who was I supposed to reach out to, and how the hell do I even do it? For me, I chose to start healing to attract a relationship that was a complete bust, and it led me down the road of alignment, self actualization, and purpose. In this episode we get real and vulnerable right off the bat to give you a taste of what's to come in this space! https://www.hailswinch.com/https://www.instagram.com/hailswinch/
