Most of the toothpaste out there is BAD for you and your teeth. So what do we WANT in a toothpaste? All you need is something that'll clean the teeth off (like bentonite clay) and add minerals back (like hydroxyapatite). Those are the only two things you want. In this episode I get to interview Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, who is a functional integrative dentist, and I am so excited to share this infor...

#015: When you create an open, loving environment, kids feel comfortable to make mistakes. And if they are comfortable making mistakes, that automatically increases their confidence level. In this episode I get to interview Leila Center. Leila is the founder of the school that we put our children in here in Florida. And although I know most people listening to this probably aren't going to move to...

Most people’s systems are out of whack, with their sympathetic nervous system (fight flight or freeze mode) dominating. This leaves you functioning as a very reduced version of yourself because all your energy is reverted to the parts of your brain that just help you survive. Kava helps reset that and build up the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the state where your body can heal and reco...

It sounds so cliche, but everything is happening FOR you, not TO you. And the minute you change your mindset to that, all the challenges that you go through will make you stronger. Challenges in your life give you a new perspective, and are the greatest spiritual teachers.

Before we can even get out of fight or flight, we have to start becoming a partner with our brain and body and not fighting them. Because as long as we feel like we're enemies and we're fighting our brain or we're fighting our body, we're perpetuating fight or flight within ourselves. This interview with Ashleigh Di Lello could change your life. In this episode, Ashleigh and I talk...

When you experience hardships and trials along your journey to improve your life, think of it like this: It’s a chance to prove how bad you want it, how far you’re willing to go, and how hard you’re willing to work. If you go ALL IN and prove your commitment, then the universe (or source, God, or whatever speaks to you) will roll out the red carpet for you and give you what you’re working toward....

Evolving, changing our programing, or stepping beyond trauma is a process, and it's not going to be perfect. It often looks like two steps forward, one step back. But that’s the way the world works. Just realize that every time you work through something, especially when it’s something you thought you’ve already addressed, there's often a different lesson or additional layer to work throug...

This is the hardest, most vulnerable conten...

When you cater to your child’s need for play, you can get your cup of coffee or tea and drink it while it's still hot. You can go do laundry, read a book, write those emails, or have a zoom meeting. Your children will be absorbed in a way that you never thought possible, without a screen. My friend Avital runs an incredible parenting and family platform ( Hi, Fam! ). During a season where she...

A year after having her twins, Lauren had a grand mal seizure. It was a big wake up call for the way she was living, not putting herself first. “You feel like you're not doing anything well enough. I wasn't with my kids and connecting with them enough. I wasn't doing my job as an entrepreneur enough. I wasn't taking care of myself and my body enough. So I really had to take space and time to sift...

There is nothing that she l...
