Like I always used to feel like there was some, there was something inside of me that I wasn't allowing to come out.

I am super excited because I am joined by my own master energy practitioner Sarah Hardy. We are going to discuss spiritual tools for guilt, fear, and overwhelm.  We will also dive a bit deeper into how we met each other, our experience of working with each other, and so much more. Topics discussed in this episode:Who is Sarah Hardy and how did she help me become the person I am todayWhy it’s so important to lean into the spiritual tools to let go of any feelings that no longer serve you How you can tap into these tools and use them whenever you feel like the guilt, the fear or the overwhelm are creeping inHow to feel aligned and connected with your truth and powerKey takeaways:Why it’s so important to connect with your highest version of selfHow energy medicine and healing can change thingsIt's really about always connecting to the highest version of youAction step:Wherever you are in your healing journey, hear these words, hear these tools, let them sink in. Today’s episode is for your highest good, and there's something in here for you.Sarah said:“So we can even just remove the labelling of the fear completely and just look at the frequency itself and say, I need to trust that the earth provides for me. I need to trust that I will survive. I need to just get outside, let the frequency of the earth come up into my body and shift my energy. And that starts to shift away from that heavier frequency of these fears so that sometimes we don't even have to go deeper into them.”“And one of those shifts is the overthinking that we start to do right within this need to have these answers a big reason why we struggled to find them is that we're overthinking and we're overthinking from a very human-based place. Right? So we're overthinking our fears, right? Leading us into worrying about a lot of things and worry is the realm of imagination.”Thanks so much for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 3 Vital Steps to THRIVE after BC mini course yet, download it now!

I am super excited today because we are joined by Tina Conrad, DJ breast cancer today. You may know her from Instagram, Tina is such a source of light and positivity in our beautiful breast cancer community here. This conversation is all about faith which is such an important part of my life, but it wasn't always that way. I share my story with my faith, how I went from not having a practice, to having a really deep connection with the universe God's source my creator. It was such a really great conversation because we have different vehicles to practice our faith, but it's the same result. Topics discussed in this episode:The importance of seeking out other resources for supportThe different vehicles to practice faith and what it may look like for youHow to incorporate this type of practice into your dayTina’s breast cancer journey both as the survivor and the daughter of oneKey takeaways:We can rely on something other than just our own willpower and strengthLetting go and surrendering to a higher powerThat higher power is going to look different for everyoneAction step:You have to let go of the old, to create space for the new, and there's something that's so powerful about letting go and surrendering to a higher power outside of you.Tina said:“My mom was diagnosed when I was in my young twenties. I think I was 25 and that really pulled our family all together, but then she had a recurrence about three years later and it really made me angry and it really kind of for a time severed my ties maybe to some of that faith. I think there is something about, you know, the faith that you grow up with, but then the faith that you find when you're an adult and I can be very moved now.”“But now I truly feel if I can help one more person, see God, the way that I see them too, you know, then I'm really making a difference in this world. So if anyone has any questions or wants to reach out or, you know, Even wants to have a debate. Like I welcome it. Um, you know, I just think it's, it's great to have conversations about faith and be, and be transparent about who you are.”Thanks so much for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 3 Vital Steps to THRIVE after BC mini course yet, download it now!

Going down the mental spiral of anxiety isn’t helping us in any way, shape, or form. You try to push away this spiral every single time it comes back but you end just feeling more anxious.  I know this has come up alot for people in my own community and I am confident everyone listening has experienced this too.

You are deeply loved and that you are love.Lauren said:“It's just when an anxious feeling comes up, it's just, you can process and you release it. There's like nothing beyond that, like that 15 minute car ride where I talk to myself, like it was a done deal and I was completely fine after it's just, it doesn't trigger an emotional spiral. It doesn't build up.”“It took a lot of personal growth, a lot of investments in coaches and learning to cultivate a whole heck of a lot of self-love as I let go of a ton of pain. But I was able to see my diagnosis as a message to take responsibility for my actions and my inactions and take responsibility for my health and my life going forward.”Thanks so much for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 3 Vital Steps to THRIVE after BC mini course yet, download it now!

I could finally look in the mirror and embrace all of me. I could stop second-guessing all my choices and just enjoy my life in the present moment.”“I was so open and receptive to making these changes in a way that was so effortless because it was so aligned with the truth of who I was.

I am sharing how to set boundaries without feeling selfish and guilty. Now, after I just finished applying these same steps in my own life I felt really called to share the four steps to setting boundaries without feeling selfish or guilty. Sharing real-life scenarios and how you can apply them today. Topics discussed in this episode:This missing link and the reason why your boundaries never stick (spoiler alert this is step one)How to identify what areas or people or situations in your life require boundariesWhy your voice a powerful energy center and how to use it to set boundariesHow to be consistent in your boundary setting and sticking to them even if it feels uncomfortable at firstKey takeaways:Your voice is the most powerful energy center in your bodyCompassion is everything and calling it for yourself allows you to just witness your feelings without judgmentStepping up and asserting your needs in a beautiful angelic assertive way that's in alignment with the highest version of youAction step:Remain committed to this process and follow these steps as often as you need, because this truly does have the power to radically change your life with compassion and consistencyLauren said:“It's not just a surface-level activity that you're doing. You stepping up and setting boundaries around social media or around a person or around your care or around your meals. It's you stepping up and asserting your needs in this beautiful angelic assertive way that's in alignment with the highest version of you. It's actually rewiring the whole subconscious programming that led to people-pleasing and feeling guilty for setting boundaries in the first place.”“The second someone needed help with something, or there was a party. You know, someone wanted me to make appetizers because I brought the best apps. I would drop everything and I would go. It didn't matter that I wanted and truly needed time to myself. I had said so many times that I was going to say no more and I needed a better self-care practice around saying, no, but I still found it really freaking difficult.”Thanks so much for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 3 Vital Steps to THRIVE after BC mini course yet, download it now!
