Wow! This guest has such a beautiful energy, and the timing of this episode was perfect. I spent the weekend with some amazing women in my Conscious Connection Circle (more about that at the bottom), where we held space for each other to level up and move closer to our future selves. This episode is all about showing up authentically, the pivotal moments that change our lives, and how we're no...

Hello Again! Just when it looked like I might be "pod-fading", I'm back! My new episode simply explains what I've been up to, why I've been MIA, and how I'm ramping back up to put out some exciting episodes! After struggling for a few months with the hour long podcast format I *thought* was expected of all podcasters trying to really produce a quality podcast, I did some...

I love all of my episodes but this one particularly hits home because it centers on a topic that started my podcast journey and that is the concept of facing our own mortality and living our life to the fullest every day. This, and writing a book to my son about how I wanted him to consider the life he was living as he becomes an "adult", is what led me to create Shake Me Awake and focus...

Bunny uses her unique and magickal way of guiding me through a heart centered, deep feeling app...

I think the biggest thing I got out of this episode with my dad is that it's OK to try multiple things and don't talk yourself out of trying something new because you only risk failing if you stop trying! My Takeaways: Money shouldn't be the motivation.  Find something that aligns with your gifts and your passion. Every single person was created with some kind of gift for doing somethi...

Hello and welcome to the Shake Me Awake podcast! This is my introductory episode/trailer, and I want to jump right in and start talking like we’re the “oldest and dearest friends” (You’ve Got Mail reference for the movie buffs). I dive into my journey of WAKING UP after 20 years hiding my gifts and talents from the world in a government job, how I got here, why I’m here, and some themes we’ll tack...

It took me 40 years to finally WAKE UP to a life of true authenticity, potential, purpose and passion.  I’m finally asking myself the questions I wish I had been asking all along about how I can use you my gifts in this world, and create the life I was put here to live.  I can’t go back to sleep and I want to WAKE UP those around me and bring you on this journey with me. Don’t waste another second...
