Listen in as we talk with Breath Coach Jess Buckley all about resting, napping and creating a beautiful life for yourself, beyond the grind of the Patriarchy, capitalism and, yes, the holiday season. We talk about how to create moments of peace for yourself, how to “Pause & Refresh” when moments seem overwhelming and how to manage expectations so that you can enjoy this season for all its cozy, de...

It’s so good to be back with you again! In this episode, we have a real talk about the grief and anger resulting from the American election while also figuring out how to move forward. It’s important to be honest with yourself and allow space for your feelings right now. AND it’s important for YOU to take care of YOU, focus on what you can control, connect with people around you and purposely crea...

In this episode we talk about Spring as the season of letting go, cleaning out the old and making space for the new. Letting go is a rarely easy thing to do and yet it’s universal to the human experience. So, let’s talk about letting go, labyrinths and more! Also in this episode we have a special treat for you, the thoughtful and wise Jane Doull reads out her “Letting go” intro and blessing for us...

Hello 2024! Also, how dare you sneak up on me like this. With both feet now in the new year, it’s a great opportunity to ask ourselves what we want out of 2024. It’s important to take a moment and ask ourselves what our heart’s desires and goals are for this year. If we don’t take the time to ask ourselves it’s so easy to get swallowed up into other things like work, family drama, parenting respon...

Hello again beautiful pod squad! We’re back after the summer break and so excited to talk to you about becoming WHOLE. What a concept, right? How do we do that? Well, one way is to integrate the different versions of ourselves we carry around. We may hide away or ignore parts of ourselves, but those parts are still there and they require love and acceptance, too. They are all a part of YOU and all...

In this episode Kelly talks about how the mothering and nurturing we do makes the world go ‘round. She talks about how being a nurturing leader and mothering are synonyms, even if we have a complicated relationship with the word Mother. She talks about the fears she had about becoming a mother and why self-mothering (or being your own inner-mom) is so important. She also tells the interesting orig...

It’s true. You are. You are doing *so* much better than you think you are. Unfortunately, Women rarely have an accurate view of ourselves (thanks, patriarchy!). Too often, we exaggerate personal setbacks and minimize our accomplishments. It can be easier to remember the critiques and negative stuff than the positive compliments. So, this is a podcast to help you realize that you are actually - and...

In this season of rebirth and awakening, many of us are feeling the call to return to ourselves, return to who we truly are. Most of us have been distracted and over-stimulated from the uncertainty and chaos that were the last three years but now, as we peak our heads outside the cave of winter, we are curious and hungry to get back to ourselves. Returning to ourselves means remembering who we wer...

It’s our first episode of 2023! Let’s talk about fables, stories and journeys to the underworld and back. Listen in to hear about the importance of the journey, including the magic in the “darkness”. Kelly talks about Inanna, Persephone, Alice in Wonderland and Dorothy in Oz - all women on important journeys for wisdom, power and their souls. There is so much to learn and grow from when it comes t...

So happy to be back! And I LOVE diving into the topic of this episode: yin energy, yule time and the holy days around the winter solstice. This time of year has ancient roots of rejoicing, feasting and being together. So many modern holiday (meaning “holy day'') traditions are based in pagan or nature-centered spirituality and they are beautiful to acknowledge and celebrate. This is the special ti...

Part of owning and embodying our power is by owning the energy we create and transmit to the outside world (and to ourselves). By taking responsibility for the energy we bring, we are acknowledging the power we have, while consciously creating the lives and futures we want. We are not mere victims of life’s circumstances. We are powerful agents of our own lives. We create and attract what we “put...

There’s a whirlwind of chaos going on out there and it can be so easy to get swept away into it. It’s time that we prioritize our own peace. It’s time that we purposefully sought out peace for yourselves. It’s time that we *created* more peace in our lives. And there are so many ways to do it! What brings you peace? What allows you to slow down and catch your breath? What nourishes you and helps y...

I’m back from summer holidays and ready to give you your podcast dose of encouragement, support and sisterly love. If you are feeling a little lost lately, you are NOT alone. The whole world is in a state of transition as we stare down the barrels of so many unknowns. It’s OK to feel a little (or a lot) lost right now. It’s normal, even. And I’m here to remind you that you are strong and powerful,...

And it’s designed to help you feel happy, encouraged and inspired. Turn it on when you are about to go for a walk, a drive or when you are to clean, chop, cook, chill, sip or chat with friends. This list is perfect for...

What a week, right? What year is this even? How do I process all that’s happening in the world? We cover that and much more in our latest episode. There are plenty of reasons to become radicalized - to hold views in opposition to the current political, social, or religious status quo. We have SO many systems that are not working for us. It’s time we challenge these systems by speaking up - using o...

It’s time for a little healing, letting go and all that other good stuff. In this episode we talk about why women find it so hard to forgive themselves and why we punish ourselves for past perceived mistakes. We also talk about the magic of forgiving ourselves and creating room for our better, happier future. We even finish the episode with a tiny, easy exercise in realtime to help you forgive you...

If Mothers Ran the World There Would Be No War In this episode designed to empower and encourage, Kelly talks about what it would mean if mothers ran the world. We look at cultures where women and mothers traditionally lead and talk about how after making, growing and keeping alive another human, you are less likely to send a child to war. We talk about the power of women to “break the script” of...

For our 4th year in a row I am so excited to share with you our International Women’s Day Special hosted by our treasured host and moderator, Sarojini! We talk about the matriarchy of Jamaica, wrestling with your own feminisms today, dismantling the patriarchy, the empowering practice of dismantling our limiting beliefs while anchoring ourselves into our woman/goddess power + more! And as a specia...

I was so glad to chat with Elaine Dunphy about the revolution of joy and the beauty of connecting to our bodies. Elaine teaches classes of beautiful moving meditations called NIA. And who couldn’t use more tools to add joy, health and happiness to our lives? PLUS, I have great news that she’s giving us all a FREE CLASS in the Strong Women Co Tribe! Let’s make more joy in our lives! As Elaine expla...

In this episode, we talk a little about the year that was 2021 and then dive into the REAL reason most of us have any nice feelings or memories of Christmas: strong women. It’s women who organize the festive events, synchronize schedules, buy the majority of thoughtful presents and bake almost all the cookies. Women make Christmas. Really, women make the nicest parts of life. So, this time of year...

And we are back! Woohoo! In this episode we talk about how women can set themselves up to win so that they can save (and be!) themselves! There’s a lie we’ve been told: it's that we need something or someone outside of ourselves to save us. No, ma’am. The ONLY one that can save you, heal you and protect you is YOU. There’s a freedom and power that comes from realizing that you have everything you...

The word “strong” used to be exclusively associated with physical strength but recently we’ve begun to realize that true strength is of the emotional and psychological variety. In this episode I walk you through some easy tools to better understand your own strength and resilience. I also offer theories as to why women, as a group, are so very strong. It’s important to know your own strength and b...
