If you are a human on earth, you have experienced trauma.

Your birth into this world was a trauma.

And every moment after that where you felt too overwhelmed to process, can be pinpointed as a trauma. 

It doesn't have to be these big, one off events. Trauma encompasses much more than that.

Today's guest, my lovely friend, Kirby Criddle, has been treating clients for 15 years in an energy work and plant medicine capacity. Specializing in trauma integration and sexual, emotional and spiritual aspects of health. Her purpose is to serve and to uplift and get to the root of any obstacles or limiting beliefs that are holding you back from unlocking your highest potential.

In this conversation, we chatted about:
- Big T trauma and Little T trauma
- How you still need support once you've recognized the trauma
- Allowing yourself to be supported in yoga nidra
- Getting sick from consuming too much social media
- The difference between therapy + therapy memes
- Past life regression + trauma integration
- Female health, sexual health + why being naked in nature is an important practice for her
- Ep 3 of "The Goop Lab" on Netflix (Orgasms with Betty Dodson)
- Kirby's current morning routine + her 4 step journal questions
And so much more!

Put your hand up if you're stressed out...

We have become human DOINGS, on 24/7, tuned in to our devices more than we’re tuned into ourselves and our state of being shows.

Because of this, we’re not breathing or slowing down to pause and our bodies are recalibrating to function in a stressed out state, which is causing dis-ease in the body.

We often seek out meditation because we have too many thoughts. But then, we feel we suck at meditating because we have too many thoughts...

Marie, a women's wellness coach with a focus on mindfulness, cyclical living and feeling good, is here to debunk the difficulty of meditation and teach you how to implement a simple, daily practice that will help you relax, unwind and feel better.

In this interview from the Fit Chicks Transformation Conference, listeners will learn Marie's top 3 tips on:

1) The science of stress 
2) What meditation is and how to practice it
3) 3 of Marie's favourite breathing techniques to ditch stress quick

ps - did you know Marie has a simple, 3 module course called "Stress Less + Learn To Meditate"? Check out the link below!

At a certain point in my life, after dealing with sickness after sickness, I started to question the medical system's ability to help me heal and instead turned to Nature and listening to my body's needs instead.

It changed everything.

Today's beautiful guest, Krysta Francoeur, the founder and CEO of Wild Remedies, had a very similar experience. It was through spending years of her life sick and eventually having her tonsils removed at age 23 that she came into the discovery of the healing properties of plant medicine.

She spent some time living abroad in Europe, Mexico, the US as well as in Malaysia working for Mindvalley as a Senior Designer. She began to dive into the power of nature as Healer and the science of spirituality. It was during that time that she discovered the incredibly healing mushroom, Chaga, which led her to creating her first tea product and eventually, her incredible collection of Magick Lattes with Wild Remedies.

They are GORGEOUS and LUXURIOUS! You can grab yours below.

We chatted about:
- Our mutual experiences growing up with chronic sickness
- How Krysta came into the science of spirituality + metaphysics
- How the breakdown leads to the breakthrough
- Following your gut and living according to your Intuition
- The magic of rituals and Krysta's morning routine
- Feeling connected to something larger than ourselves
- Synchronicities + "coincidences"
- "The Surrender Experiment" by Michael Singer
- "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer
- Our mutual obsession with the "Conversations with God" series by Neale Donald Walsch
- "Ask and It Is Given" by Abraham Hicks
- "The Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying" by Bronnie Ware
and sooo much more!

There is an overwhelming amount of information available on how to achieve the results you want. The common narrative seems to be "work harder, train more, eat less, push, grind, punish, sleep when you're dead" in order to get the results you want.

Marie, a women's wellness coach with a focus on mindfulness, cyclical living and feeling good, is here to debunk that and teach you how to get your best results (in every area) with a more easy-going approach.

In this interview from the Fit Chicks Transformation Conference, listeners will learn Marie's top 3 tips on how to use at home workout programs to get (and keep!) the results they want, for life! Because it's good to feel good. Marie is here to show you how.

You will hear about 3 main tips:
1) Finding your feel-good path instead of shoulding on yourself
2) Habit Stacking (what it is and how to)
3) Creating built-in accountability to feel supported along the way

"I wanted to change the food we ate." is the sentiment that brought today's guest, my dear friend Carla Jans, to the work she's doing now with medicinal mushrooms and herbs.

She blends her background in Nutritional Science (specifically holistic culinary nutrition) with plant medicine, incorporating herbal remedies into daily life in fun and creative ways, and inspiring others (like you and I) along the way.

Carla has a WEALTH of knowledge, so pay attention to what she shares in our conversation here all about medicinal mushrooms!

We discuss:

- Carla's roots on a farm influencing her connection with nature
- the emotional connection humans have to herbs
- the difference between medicinal and magic mushrooms
- The power of Nettles, essential oils and mushrooms for healing
- The top 5 mushrooms and their medicinal properties (chaga, reishi, lions mane, cordyceps and turkey tail)
- Carla's go-to coconut rice recipe
- Her current morning routine (it's just like mine!)
- The one thing she suggests for living more intentionally today

Every November, a slew of Black Friday and Cyber Monday emails and advertisements take over my inbox and social media feeds.

And over the last couple of years, as I've become a more intentional, aware person, I've noticed the immediate instinct to "go buy now!" that comes up when I see these ads.

It's not that the ads are bad by any means, most of them are really great opportunities to save money on products I already use and love. I just notice the desire to 'buy more, quickly!' during this season, even if it's not something I necessarily need or want to spend money on at that time...

So when I connected with Abbey Trujillo from The Peach Vintage, I knew we needed to have a timely conversation about living, loving and second-hand shopping. And I knew it needed to be published this week, during all of the "buy now" craziness.

Abbey is THE sweetest human and I'm grateful for our new friendship. We connected over a mutual love for thrifting and living intentionally and the conversation that follows is a byproduct of that!

More specifically though?

We chatted about how deeply caring for everyday objects can change your life.

We chatted about the impact of fast fashion and how we vote with our dollar.

We chatted about how to romanticize your life and be the main star in your own movie.

We chatted about the energy that things hold and how to cultivate an abundance mentality.

And so much more.

I feel this is such a timely conversation and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Soak up her words. This woman walks her talk.

Abbey Trujillo is the owner and designer of Peach Vintage, a sustainable in house clothing label and seller of vintage goods based in Utah, USA. Within their online shop, you can find sustainably handcrafted, collected and curated vintage - for the body and the home, by women, for women. Their values resonate deeply with my own and I am so excited for you to tune in to our conversation about all things intentional living, loving and thrifting.

I have always been drawn to quotes.

There's just something so powerful about a simple string of words.

And sometimes - especially if we're going through a hard season - they can remind us of who we really are and the simple truths of life. Which we may have forgotten temporarily.

I've been collecting, writing + appreciating quotes since I knew how to read.

Today's episode is a fun one where I read the current quote + life lesson cue card stack from my desk.

Need to feel inspired on purpose?

Tune in and take what you need from this one.

You are amazing.

I love you.

ps - My inbox is always open to connect and I would love to hear from you. I mean that!

Do you have deep chats with your spouse over coffee?

Brandon and I were chatting about the new "Meta" name Facebook recently revealed and it led to a full blown conversation about the difference between creating and consuming.

The person who gets to bake cakes all day has a completely different experience than the person who eats cakes all day long.

One allows you to express yourself.

The other can make you sick.

Consuming as much screen time as we do is literally making us sick.

The joy is found in the creating, not in the consuming.

The process is where we truly feel alive, not the outcome.

Tune in for our fun coffee chat that ended up as a discussion on how to find fulfillment in your life.

I ride roller-coasters all the time without visiting amusement parks...

Yeah, I'm talking about my emotions.

In any given day, I can go from HAPPY JOY JOY to WTF WORLD to *heavy crying*.

And the last few months, it's felt a little more challenging to get to my usual "Marie Joy" if I'm being totally honest.

But I think that's the most important thing, that we be honest and also normalize being a human.

As a human, we get the opportunity to experience a wide variety of emotions. The full spectrum if you will.

And I think that's a beautiful thing! Even if some of the emotions and experiences on that scale are downright painful and uncomfortable as hell.

So I rode the roller-coaster today and as I was about to have a nap in an attempt to feel better, a little voice said, "it's burn out. You're experiencing burn out."

And I felt so at peace even in the admitting of that.

Today's episode is an honest conversation about burnout, what to do about it and my favourite "light up" list practice!

If you resonate at all with what I share, reach out. It helps us all feel less alone in our experiences.

ps - Leave a Review, Save, Download + Share this episode if it speaks to you! That's how we get the podcast (fun, free conversations about intentional living) out to more beautiful women just like you.

pps - You're amazing. Yeah, you. <3
