Hi & welcome to today's episode. We are talking all about finding expanders today. I think this is something we typically do naturally when going after a big dream, goal or desire. @ tobemagnetic coined this term and talks a lot about it in their work and podcasts. Finding people who have gone before us helps to build the belief in ourselves that it is possible. Especially if we can find s...

Hi Everyone, Happy Mother's day. Happy Spring. Today I wanted to dive into a topic I needed to hear. I talk about this a lot but I still need to hear it on the daily, especially when I'm working on a new project or something I'm nervous about putting out into the world or feeling blocks about.

This week I dive into some of the things that have been holding me back and what I'm doing to support myself through this. Taking action came come with a lot of fear. Some of us will assume we are the only ones that feel this way and that it's way easier for everyone else but this is not the case. Today I dive into some of the tools I have been working with to help calm and regulate my ner...

Hi - I'm back. Well kind of. I found a few episodes that I recorded earlier this year that still felt more relevant than ever. This year has felt full, and as I like to say crunchy. Not a horrible year but definitely not smooth. Anyone else? In a reading I had with Jenni from @themediumexperience - she spoke about how she saw my business name. And it was such a great reminder. We are constantl...

As Halloween approaches and as this eclipse season as had me thinking about my past. I started to think about my experience with the ghost and wanted to see if others had documented anything from this hotel too. And jackpot. There tons of documented stories, from decades ago to current day. It reminded me that what I felt wasn't a dream. And I had so much fun learning more about the history of...

I'mmmm back after a little back to school break. Recovering from a busy season and a bit of burn out. Committing to and goal setting can be so fun, and exciting. Dreamy. But once we start working towards them - this is the hard part. We can talk ourselves out of it. The EGO or self talk comes up loud. Who am I? or insert your inner mean girl here. Here is a little of what I'm going through...

3 Steps to your morning routine. As we head back into the fall, back to school and a more scheduled life, Here are my top tips to your new morning routine. Done over perfect. Life is a marathon not a sprint so focus on 3 days a week and allow for deviation. Think long term and even if you are able to do it once a week for a few weeks, that's a new habit. I think aiming for everyday or even 5 d...

Well - it just needs to be said. You are beautiful and our bodies do so much good for us. We need to recognize and acknowledge that instead of just berating and saying it's never enough. If you are like me, and many women I know, you have struggled at some point in your life with body image and body related self esteem. We are raised in a society especially as woman that we should look a certain w...

Let's stop to give ourselves some credit for showing up, for trying new things, for doing things you said you would do. Let's celebrate all that we do. Even if it doesn't feel "enough". This is exactly the point. It is ENOUGH. You are enough. And we go first. Shift things, and start to feel good about what you have done. and all that you do. And I bet you'll start to see...

How can we improve the small moments? Find presence. Enjoying the small moments. The present moments. Finding gratitude for the things that are already happening instead of always yearning for these big events. Can small decisions and moments add up to big things? instead of getting overwhelmed with the big things. Are you taking life to seriously sometimes? How can you create new small moments? O...

Today is a throw back episode. I recorded this 3 or so months after taking a break from Instagram and all social media. I was finding it hard to be productive, super distracting and just not feeling great. Needless to say I increased my productivity 10 fold. Felt better than ever and even wrote a book. Maybe I should take another break soon. What would dropping social media allow space for in your...

What are your money beliefs? Do you hesitate to ask for more? To ask for what you want? If there is something you want but don't feel you can afford it. Have you actually looked in it? Have you received quotes? So even if it's not in the cards right now, at least you know what you are working towards. AND maybe you can afford it now. Or maybe you can afford having your house cleaned occasi...

Are you aware of your energy. Of how precious it is? Or how it can get swayed or you get thrown off track by others. A quick riff today on some awareness around our energy. How to set better boundaries. Examples of how Elizabeth Gilbert gave a great example when I went to see her live in Vancouver this past April. Let me know what you think over @frommartyrtomagic xo Shannon

A bit of a life update for you. I've had a lot going on, some really big changes, and learnings coming up and I thought I would share where I'm at. Right now, I'm in the unsexy part of my life. Doing the work. Making lots of small choices and taking small actions that add up over time.   I riff on how I manifested my new job and some of the steps I took to make this happen. This is one...

Well. . .it took a lot longer to get to part 2 of our relationship story. And mostly today is just a share on where we are right now. What it means and looks like to be married in midlife with kids. That the love will wilt if we don't tend to it. That it takes effort on both parts. Not only effort but also a willingness to look at our own shit, triggers and conditioning etc. That we all play a par...
