16: The Caterpillar and the Butterfly
Metaphors can be SO POWERFUL! This is an image I come back to time and time again. What does this image bring up for you? Are you feeling more like the caterpillar or more like the butterfly? Or maybe you're in metamorphasis?

15: Loving Yourself & Others Through Boundaries
Creating, communicating and upholding boundaries is one of the ultimate forms of self-love. It's a continuous practice. Understanding who we are and what we stand for helps us identify what boundaries are necessary to honor that. This episode is a short nugget on a BIG TOPIC. My hope is that you take away a little something that inspires you to uphold boundaries that allow you to live with more joy and peace! If boundaries are an area of stress and confusion for you, let's have a conversation. Contact me (shannon@unwindcoaching.com) or book a free discovery session (https://calendly.com/unwindcoaching) and we'll work together to create boundaries that support YOU and the life you want! Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously. ~ Prentis Hemphill --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unwindyourlife/message

14: The difference between value and worth
What determines the value of an object? What is it worth? What determines the value of a person? What determines your worth? Listen in! Do you find yourself putting too much of your self-worth into work, family, your to-do list, your title, your position, etc? I'm here to help you rediscover the truth that you are worthy no matter what. Here's how we can get started: https://calendly.com/unwindcoaching (https://calendly.com/unwindcoaching) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unwindyourlife/message

13: What's in your Control?
Ya know those parenting moments that just bring you to your knees?? Let me tell you about my morning! There are times when we do all that we can to ensure the outcome we'd like and yet, shit still hits the fan. Boy, do we love ourselves a good dose of control! Here's a little story about Hollis and his undies and how we are so NOT in control most of the time!

12: What's the world missing out on?
Another episode from the Vault! (June 25th, 2020) Some may say that the audio quality on this episode is unacceptable. As I listen back to myself, however, I love the authenticity of it. The sound of my feet on the dirt road and the trucky passing by as I process my thoughts. The world around us doesn't need to stop in order for us to show up authentically. Gold Nuggets: Emotions are Energy In Motion. What is the world missing out on because you're trying to show up as the person you think you should be? You don't have to show up in any certain way other than just who you are. Have you been living your life the way you think you should be instead of living it in a way that feels true for you? I'm here to help you drop the should and reconnect with your true-self to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

11: Living a Called Life with Gretchin Staples
My dear friend, former client & business coach Gretchin Staples joins me for an impromptu conversation on today's episode. We reflect on how we initially connected and the magic that happens when we show up in the we're called to. Gold Nuggets from this conversation: Make sure you're putting yourself out there and not hiding. Something happens when we all show up in the way that we're called to. Living authentically takes practice. You have to implement and you can't overthink it. God gives us everything we need. God really, truly does give us everything we need to fulfill the calling he's placed on our hearts. Ask questions to learn, not to judge. If you are ready to stop trudging through the demands of everyday life and live a called life, I'm here to help you do it!

10: Daring Greatly - How are you showing up?
This is an episode from The Vault! Honestly, I feel like it found me today and it was exactly what I needed. A reminder from God that we hold within ourselves the answers we so desperately seek and that we already have everything we need. I recorded this episode almost four years ago in 2020, but I reference thoughts from nearly 7 years ago in 2017. I hope you find something powerful in it just as I did. Here are my reflections from Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. This book was a turning point in my life from depression and anxiety to joy and peace. I'm here to support you in both so that you can stop trudging through the demands of everyday life and live with more peace, joy, and intention.

Unwind Your Life Podcast 8: The One Thing
Stop trudging through the demands of everyday life and live with more peace, joy, and intention every day. Unwinding: When we focus on what's wrong, more goes wrong.

7: Expressing Your Needs
Are you in the practice of recognizing your own needs? How about clearly communicating those needs with others? Why is this even important? Here's an awkward day-in-the-life story of mine to remind you! Sometimes it can be intimidating to even know where to start when it comes to recognizing and honoring your own needs. Or sometimes you are aware of them but struggle to communicate them clearly and effectively with love. I'm here to support you in both so that you can stop trudging through the demands of everyday life and live with more peace, joy, and intention.

6: Cycle Awareness
Women's bodies are incredible!! The more I've learned about my own hormone cycle, the more grace, love, and compassion I've given myself. This topic came up in all of my coaching sessions last week, which gave me the nudge that I needed to share this one! Here's the episode I reference: https://open.spotify.com/episode/03hOddSZAcFDM0KNFJjCHY?si=75906679277c4698 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/03hOddSZAcFDM0KNFJjCHY?si=75906679277c4698) I'd love to know if or how this new awareness helps you enjoy life just a little bit more!

Unwind your Life Podcast 5: My First Breathwork Experience
Breathwork is intentionally the very first scheduled activity at the Unwind Retreat for women. It allows us space to disconnect from the world around us so we can reconnect with ourselves. As women, we can get into the habit of tending to everyone else's needs before our own and lose ourselves in the middle of it all. Reconnecting with ourselves is an essential part of living a happier and more fulfilled life, and when we do, those around us are touched by that positive, loving energy too! Listen in as I share with you my very first breathwork experience. Where I was mentally and emotionally in my life and how breathwork helped me to let go and accept myself and my circumstances more fully.

Calling: A Prayer
God, You have placed a calling on my heart. Help me to not be afraid of it but to know and to trust the feeling. To experiment because there is no such thing as failing. To go for it simply because I can and it is what you made me for. To love more. To fear less. May it come naturally and may I trust each step you guide me to take. May I not get caught up in the HOW, but co-create with your divine greatness and allow you into my journey evermore. Happiness. Love. Prosperity. Abundance. Love. Raise my vibes and keep me in good frequency. You are mine and I am yours. I trust. Amen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unwindyourlife/message
