Thrive With Anxiety

Welcome friends!  In today's episode, we are going to talk about intuition, how it feels in the mind and body, how it is different from anxiety, and how we can use mindfulness to become more aware of when intuition is at play in our lives.  I share stories of when intuition has shown up in my life in powerful ways and would love to hear yours as well.  Enjoy!

Join me today for a conversation holding space for these continued difficult times we are facing and how we can build resilience as we implement strategies for thriving during these wild times.  I reference the work of Dr. Bruce Perry today, a brilliant neuroscientist bringing light to the impacts of this collective trauma on all of us.  Visit www.neurosequential.com for more information on his work.  I'm holding each and every one of you in my heart for all the things you are carrying on your shoulders...you are not alone.  We've got you held!

Join me for a conversation with the amazing Samantha Ruth.  Samantha spent her life building a resume to impress, with titles such as Transformational Psychologist, Speaker, and Best Selling Author but her world shattered into millions of pieces when she unexpectedly lost her husband. Instead of giving up, Samantha turned her pain into her power and helps others to do the same by guiding them to be their true selves not who they think they need to be, by embracing their differences, and by living life on their own terms. 

Samantha’s mission is to change the way the world views mental health, so people can openly speak about whatever issues they have and get the help they not only need but deserve without fear of judgment, labels, and repercussions. Samantha is the proud founder of Griefhab, a 24/7 community open to anyone who has experienced a loss. After personally living through this, Samantha realized just how much support she needed on a daily basis. She vowed to create these services so that others would have more support available in their times of need. 

In her free time, you can find Samantha with her pups, Sassy and Dallas, on one of their outdoor adventures. They love living in Colorado and never miss an opportunity to explore their beautiful surroundings. Music fuels Samantha’s soul, family means everything to her, and honoring her late husband, Jim, and making him proud gives her life daily purpose. 

You can work with Samantha individually, in one of her exclusive groups, or you can have her speak at your event or organization. 

Contact Samantha to determine what’s best for you at [email protected] www.samantharuth.com or find her at Griefhab, her online Facebook Community.

In today's episode, I'm going to walk you through an incredibly powerful and simple practice that will provide you with instant relief from all the worry, stress, and anxiety you are carrying on your shoulders.  This groundbreaking and scientifically supported practice has been integral in helping me to manage my stress response and support my entire body/mind/soul.   (I'm a certified Add Heart Facilitator as well, so have gone through the training to bring this powerful work to you!  I'm not, however, an affiliate with them, so I do not get any money from advertising their technique.  Just FYI.)
