Awaken & Empower

Life can feel really loud sometimes. Your own mind can feel really loud sometimes. Both have been true for me lately, and in this episode, I share openly and honestly about it.

I talk about the latest bout of anxiety I experienced which led to a pretty painful anxiety attack, and how I’ve been trying to cope and take care of myself since then.

One of the main things I’ve been focusing on is trying to find inner peace to tune out (or at least turn down) the noise around me and within me. I share what this experience has been like for me, and offer up some words of encouragement that I hope are helpful for you as well.

I don’t have all the answers and I’m figuring this all out as I go, especially since this situation is all so current for me. But I hope that by sharing my truth, I can create a space of comfort, safety, and understanding for everyone listening, and for anyone who is also going through a hard time.

Thank you for allowing me this space to reflect and share my heart with you. It truly means so much!

In this episode, we’re receiving some messages from the cards to help us welcome summer!

I love using oracle cards to set intentions, receive divine guidance, and deepen my self-reflection process. With the arrival of summer in a few days, I thought it would be fun to consult the cards and provide you with some insight you can bring with you into this new season.

Listen in for three card readings, one from each of these oracle decks:

1. Work Your Light Oracle by Rebecca Campbell > https://rebeccacampbell.me/oracledeck/
2. The Starseed Oracle by Rebecca Campbell > https://starseedoracle.me/
3. The Divine Feminine Oracle by Meggan Watterson > https://www.megganwatterson.com/the-divine-feminine-oracle

Each card I pulled was really powerful and rich with meaning. To hear each reading and listen in on the card you picked as your own, head to these times in the show

1. Work Your Light – 7:04
2. Starseed – 14:03
3. Divine Feminine – 20:33

I hope the card you chose provided you with guidance and messages that resonated with you, and that you can carry this insight with you as you welcome summer!

I’d love to know what you got out of your card reading! If you’d like to share, you can email me at [email protected] or use the Contact Me page at https://livingembrace.ca/contact-me/. You can also find me on Instagram @living.embrace

Thank you so much for listening!

We are all creative beings. Creativity lives within you always, even if you’re not consciously aware of it. If you want to get in touch with your creative side and connect with sources of inspiration, this episode might be exactly what you need!

Listen in for a deep dive into all things creativity and inspiration. I talk about what creativity is, why we’re all creative people, and where you can find inspiration. I also get into my thoughts on how creativity is valued (and often undervalued) in our society and why we need creativity both as individuals and as a collective.

I also offer up some powerful ways to connect with your creativity and bring a little more inspiration into your life. And I share my past struggles with creativity and how those struggles led me to a more empowering relationship with my creativity.

I hope this episode sparks your creativity and helps you notice the inspiration that is all around you! Creativity is such a beautiful part of being human. Becoming more conscious of how it shows up within you and in your life is a powerful way to connect to the joy of being alive.

Welcoming more rest and play into your daily life comes with many enjoyable and fulfilling benefits for your sense of self and quality of life. With the arrival of June and the start of summer soon approaching, now might just be the perfect time to rest and play a little more.

In this episode, I talk about why I’ve been feeling called to invite more rest and play into my life, what that looks like for me, and some struggles I have with incorporating it into my life.

I also talk about how our external environment can impact our relationship with rest and play, how they’re closely linked to feminine energy, and why stillness and enjoyment is so important to our well-being as humans.

And I also offer up chances for you to reflect on your relationship with rest and play so you can build your self-awareness on this topic and discover the best way for you to bring more of it into your life.

Listen in for a fun and casual chat on the pleasure of enjoying life, the beauty of stillness, and the power of nourishing rest and play.

Do you sometimes think that you’re not where you thought you’d be at this point in your life? Have you ever felt like you’re not reaching certain life milestones fast enough? Do you feel unsatisfied with where you’re at in life right now?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, I hear you. I’m right there with you. And I created this episode for you and anyone else who feels this way.

In this episode, I share openly and honestly about my past and current struggles with trusting and honouring the timing of my life. I also offer pieces of advice, nuggets of wisdom, and words of encouragement for anyone else who may be struggling with this.  And I share reflection questions so that you can integrate this inner work into your own life.

Listen in for an honest and true chat on releasing ourselves from stories that aren’t serving us, turning down the external noise so we can follow our inner wisdom, and discovering the immense power of trusting ourselves and honouring the unfolding of our life.

It felt so therapeutic and liberating for me to share my thoughts and feelings on this topic. I hope hearing about my experiences helps you feel less alone and more confident that it’s so possible for you to truly trust and honour the timing of your life.

You are growing at your own pace and creating your own timeline for your life. You don’t have to conform to what other people or society wants for you. And you are always exactly where you’re meant to be.

In this episode, I had the honour and pleasure of welcoming my former coach and dear friend Melina Charis onto the podcast. Melina has played a special role in my life over the past couple years and I’m so grateful for the connection we share. I’m really excited to share her light and wisdom with you!

Melina Charis is an energetic coach who helps soul-centered creatives, dreamers, and entrepreneurs come home to their true selves and trust the magic within them. She uses a combination of energy work + coaching to help clients liberate themselves from limiting beliefs, connect to their higher selves and their infinite wisdom, and learn to consciously create a life and business that feels fully aligned and authentic to them. She believes that only YOU know how to live your life authentically - she just helps you peel back the conditioning so you can remember how.

Melina and I had an open and honest conversation about so many big topics, including:

• The personal growth and soul searching Melina experienced on her journey to becoming a coach and how she serves others as an energetic coach now
• How we met and where we were at in our lives when I hired her as my first coach
• Why we believe the relationship between coach and client is sacred, and what that relationship can look and feel like
• Navigating the noise and distortion in some parts of the business and coaching space
• Finding a deep trust within yourself so you can forge your own path instead of follow someone else’s model
• The big shift of unhooking from the external results driven idea of success that runs our society so you can find worth from within
• What transformational coaching is and the power it holds for both client and coach
• What transformation is and what it can look like in your life
• What it means to own your magic, all the beauty it can bring to your life, and the service it gives to the world

Listen in for an empowering conversation about what it means to tune out the noise and tune into your truth, build inner resilience in the often confusing and treacherous landscape of being an entrepreneur and coach, and tap into your authentic self to harness deep transformation and find inner trust so you can truly own your magic.

I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it for you!

You deserve to love yourself, wholeheartedly and unapologetically. The longest relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself, so it might as well be full of love!

If you’re looking to strengthen your self-love in a lasting and empowering way, this episode is for you! Today we’re diving into 5 acts of radical self-love that you can start bringing into your life right away.

The 5 acts of radical self-love are:

• Protect your boundaries
• Fulfill your needs
• Satisfy your desires
• Connect with your soul
• Seek and receive aligned support

These acts are radical because they are designed to serve you and your highest good. They’re not meant to please anyone but you. Committing to these acts of self-love will allow you to disentangle yourself from the external forces that try to distract you, keep you busy, and ultimately disconnect you from yourself and your self-love.

When done with intention and commitment, these practices have the potential to truly enhance and transform the way you love yourself.

Tune into this episode for a deep dive into each of the 5 acts of radical self-love. I share what each of these acts mean and look like, personal stories and advice from the heart, and examples and action steps to help you bring each of these acts of radical self-love into your own life.

If you’re feeling any sort of nudge to receive help and guidance through coaching, I’d be honoured to meet you where you are and support you in any way you need as you embrace your transformation!

Empathy is all about meeting someone where they are and allowing them to be there. In my opinion, it’s one of the most powerful forms of emotional support. Living my life with empathy in mind has completely transformed the way I treat other people and also myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing a little lesson on the basics of empathy so that you can bring it into your life too!

Listen in to learn about what empathy really is, how it’s different from sympathy, the powerful effects of practicing empathy, and how to treat other people and yourself with true empathy.

I share examples, personal experiences, and areas for further learning so that you can gain a full understanding of what empathy is and the powerful impact it can have on your relationships, your connection with yourself, and your overall quality of life.

Everything you need is already within you. You can follow your intuition and you don’t need anyone’s permission to live the way you want to. You also have the ability to love yourself, unapologetically and wholeheartedly.

This is true for everyone, but it can be hard to put into practice. In this episode, we’re diving into this topic and exploring what it means to seek guidance and validation from within.

I share my story of the struggles I faced from spending most of my life looking outside of myself for guidance and validation. And I also talk about some strategies and courses of action you can take to start looking for your own guidance and validation from within.

Listen in for a deep dive into the power we all hold within us and an exploration of what it means and how it feels for you to seek guidance and validation from within, and the incredible empowerment that comes with that.

If you resonate with this topic, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone and more sure of yourself as you continue on the journey into that wild and beautiful place within you.

If you’re desiring more personalized support on this, I’d be so honoured to meet you where you are and offer you support in a free Coaching Conversation.
