   Ep. 28 Embrace Your Fear: The Power of Taking Action

   We're Back! I was taking a break from recording and really processing some big life transitions these past months but I am excited to be back and sharing with you all again. In this inspiring episode, we explore the transformative concept of feeling fear and doing it anyway. Facing our fears is crucial for personal growth and living a fulfilling life. Here are some reasons why it is important to face our fears: Overcoming limitations: Fear often creates self-imposed limitations that hold us back from reaching our full potential. By facing our fears, we challenge these limitations and open ourselves up to new opportunities and experiences. Building resilience: Confronting our fears builds resilience and mental strength. When we face our fears, we develop the ability to cope with difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks. This resilience is essential for navigating the ups and downs of life. Expanding our comfort zone: Fear keeps us within our comfort zone, but growth happens outside of it. By facing our fears, we expand our comfort zone and become more comfortable with discomfort. This enables us to take on new challenges and embrace personal and professional growth. Gaining confidence: Each time we face and overcome a fear, our confidence grows. By proving to ourselves that we can handle difficult situations, we develop a sense of self-assurance that permeates all areas of our lives. This newfound confidence empowers us to take on bigger challenges and pursue our dreams. Discovering hidden potential: Many fears are rooted in the unknown or a lack of self-belief. By facing our fears, we unveil our hidden potential and realize that we are capable of far more than we initially thought. This process of self-discovery can lead to profound personal transformation. Expanding life experiences: Fear often prevents us from trying new things and exploring different aspects of life. By facing our fears, we open ourselves up to a wider range of experiences, which can enrich our lives, broaden our perspectives, and create lasting memories. Overcoming regret: Regret often stems from not taking action due to fear. By facing our fears and taking calculated risks, we reduce the likelihood of future regret. Even if things don't go as planned, we can take solace in the fact that we had the courage to try. Ultimately, facing our fears allows us to break free from the constraints that hold us back and embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and personal fulfillment. It is through confronting our fears that we truly unlock our potential and create a life that aligns with our dreams and aspirations. Thanks for tuning in this week!

We also explore the fascinating world of plant medicine. Along the way, we'll learn about the importance of embodiment practices, and how they can help us to connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us. But that's not all - we also explore the role of the throat chakra in our ability to express ourselves authentically, and the vital importance of self-love and self-compassion on our personal growth journeys. We'll discuss the idea that humans are cyclical beings, and that learning to enjoy the journey is just as important as achieving our goals.

   Ep. 26 Five Tips For Navigating Grief

   Grief reminds us of the uncertainty life carries, it gets us to rethink everything we care about, to re-prioritize where we put our focus, who we talk to, and what we end up doing with our lives. Our temporary existence is somewhat reminded of us. What are we going to do with each day? Each hour? Each minute? Grief is painful. Grief is heavy. Losing someone you love is probably one of the most if not hardest things we have to experience in this human life. This week I tell you my tips for navigating grief, the right (and wrong) things to say to someone who is grieving, my experience with grief & more. If you are experiencing grief right now you are not alone. I hope this episode resonates. I love you all. Thank you for tuning in this week. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here. My 5 tips for navigating grief: Let yourself FEEL, cry, sleep, scream, write, and shake. Things will trigger you, let yourself feel whatever comes up whenever it comes up, set a timer to allow yourself time to cry, and then when the timer goes off return to your day. Do this as many times as you need to until the energy dissipates. Talk to a therapist weekly or more if needed, and have someone who is trained on how to navigate grief, and who can help hold space for you. Celebrate the person, identity, or animal you are grieving, remember the beautiful memories, and feelings, honor the person, and have a celebration of life to honor this time. Find something to believe in after death, god, spirit, source, or ANYTHING that feels good to you. Talk about it, find a grief group, talk to friends, be vulnerable with those you feel safe with, express what is coming up for you, and let people know what feels good and doesn’t everyone is just trying to navigate it.
