Seeking Serenity

Hey lovely people, this episode is super exciting because I got the opportunity to interview my first client turned bff about her body love journey. Michael shares about how she overcame extreme diet restrictions and over-exercising by finding her passion in the gym with weight lifting. She shares with us her current journey training for a bikini body-building competition and how she finds the balance between the masculine of the training and her feminine, magical side. This interview really emphasizes how important self-love is when training as an athlete and how you can maintain your intuition regardless of what your diet looks like.

Hi lovely listeners! Today's episode is all about manifestation. I held myself back from doing a solo manifestation episode because I felt like I didn't have enough information to share but the reality of that is far from the truth. We are all manifesting every day and all we need to know is inside of us. So I touch on some common myths and mistakes that I've heard or experienced with manifesting. I also give some types on how to become a master manifester.

I am so happy to be back after a week's break, I missed you all and am feeling so inspired again. This week, I am sharing with you guys my journey to breaking my phone addiction. I felt so inspired after reading “Breakup With Your Phone” by Katherine Price and knew I needed to make some major shifts in my relationship with my phone. In this episode, I share some of the most eye-opening things I learned from the book about phone addiction and why it’s so hard to put our devices down. And then I dive into 10 action steps I took and that you can take as well to create more balance in your relationship with your smartphone. In the past two weeks since making these shifts, I can’t say that I have been perfect but I have continued to decrease my average screen time both weeks.

Hey lovely people! I had so much fun recording this week's episode and I really hope you enjoy it! I share about how I am getting out of the funk that I have been in lately. I talk about ways to redefine what health means to you and how you can transform your health and fitness into your overall mind, body, soul wellness. I came up with the idea of trying to achieve fitness by becoming F.I.T aka "fully in tune" with our bodies. I discuss the importance of connection to your body and give my top 5 tips on how to reconnect.
