Week 1: Pride -I love myself, and I see myself in everyone. -Throwing away old measurements or beliefs about happiness. -Pride on how you work through emotions now.  Week 2: Sophia -Divine plan. -W...

Today is a solo episode that goes over the parenting stories and discoveries that I have uncovered over the many years I have been a mom, but mostly over the past few weeks.  Being vulnerable and sharing stories is quite honestly, the best way to learn. I have had a rough few weeks with my kids, by just being challenged by them and tested by what I have learned and looked at over the course of my...

Hollie Hope made it to the podcast yet again! If you remember correctly she was one of my very first episodes ALMOST A YEAR AGO (how crazy) and I didn't know how to do all the fun techy stuff that goes along with being a podcaster, and the episode aired with no sound. Since then we have recorded episode 10, our Sacred Sex episode but of course I had to bring her back to re-do our first drum e...

Today Kylie asked to be on the show, and I'm so glad that she did, because we are talking about non other than female period cycles, hormones, diet and all around women's health.  What a beautiful topic that a lot of people feel a lot of shame and discomfort around. Kylie is a Cycle Syncing Hormone Health Coach. She goes into detail about the 4 phases of our menstrual cycle and how we ca...

Today Shantel (@rhythmic_healing) and I got to welcome Chase (@chaseg_intuitive_healer) to the show! (And don't mind my little visitor towards the beginning of the show-Mom life and all) Chase has a really interesting journey from being a masculine rodeo bull rider in one minute to intuitive sound healer the next. It was really refreshing to hear from a new perspective of someone who really d...

In this episode I got the honor of meeting with Dr. Kaleb Valdez, my Chiropractor! I found him through listening to @certified.weird Podcast and I fell in love with practice before even becoming his patient! Hearing his story and how he looks at how chiropractic care should be performed, was enough to have my session booked with him, in a matter of 20 minutes into listening to the episode he was o...

Welcome back for the monthly Spirit Messages!  January 2024 messages were so good! Of course I decided to switch it up this time with my card pulls but they were exactly what they needed to be.  Theme Card: 5 of Staffs (or Wands) Overcoming some conflict, speaking your truth, AND STICKING WITH IT. Week One: Failure Learning from our failures as a new learning opportunity. Week Two: The Great Sever...

In todays episode we discuss my own health struggles over the past year specifically but really my whole life, looking back.   After visit after visit to a plethora of different doctors, I finally found out that I have Celiac disease. What is Celiac disease? According to celiac.org it's defined as, "a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the inge...

In this Episode I discuss some Reiki basics.  Now I don't get into how to do Reiki, the history of it, and all of the smaller components. What this episode is really geared towards those people who hear the word 'Reiki' and think, "What is Reiki? And what does it look like?" Those are the top questions I get when I talk about my Reiki practices. I'm still a student of...

Dr. Erica Matluck joins me today and I AM THRILLED! I am definitely still coming down from this high after such a rich and informative conversation with Erica.  I found Erica through another podcast that I listen to (@themediumexperience) and I could NOT stop marveling over this woman. I studied her website, her programs, these diagrams she has made to back up the information given today and CANT...

I took a week off. Yes I was sick. No I didn't sound good. And yes, we all survived.  Moving forward into this episode I wanted to switch it up. I just wrapped up my 8 week course with Danielle Searancke, The Squamish Medium (@thesquamishmedium) and I graduated as A WHOLE NEW ME. This new me, is being called to do monthly Spirit Messages. Still being new to this practice, please grant me grac...

In this episode I was supposed to be talking with the great and amazing Dr. Erica Matluck but the cold and flu season this year, is something fierce.  If you would like to look at her information before I get our schedules to line back up her Instagram is:  @experiencesevensenses So this episode was a bit unplanned but honestly, my trust in the Universe has grown enough to know that everything hap...

In this episode I get a bit vulnerable with sharing my story of this wild Fall season.  Life happens, and we get lost in shit shows. I wanted to share what I have been struggling and what I have conquered in the last little bit in hopes on normalizing the fact that life can turn into a shit show real quick and I wanted to share my thought bubbles on how I have created and implemented changes that...

In today's episode I talked about how I used my own personal drum to clear some sickness away from my body and thought, "People need to know more about DRUMS!" I brought Shantel back to talk about her business, Rhythmic Healing and explain to us what we use drums for, how we make them, what they all symbolize, and get down to the biology of WHY DO WE DRUM.  Shantel explains all of t...

In this episode I got to discuss mediumship and psychic development with my friend Sharon Barto Gouran!  I got the honor of having a reading done with Sharon and it was so powerful that within minutes of talking with her, I knew I wanted her on the podcast to talk about her medium and psychic journey.  We talk about how it works for her when talking with spirit and channeling for a sitter. We also...

In today's episode, what better time to talk about HALLOWEEN! Shantel is a Halloween baby and has embraced her birthday with learning about the history of the holiday as well as many other facts surrounding this holiday. We dive into the origins of Halloween, and how it was brought to our county. So facsinating to me to be able to study a holiday and why we celebrate.  No better person to cha...

This is another SOLO episode that I felt was neccessary after all the crazienss that my life has been lately.  My inspiration for this topic stemmed from own experiences when I realize what happens when I don't put my relationship first.  I talk about the main things I felt has kept my marriage, a successful one.  1. Communication 2. Expectations 3. Intimacy Breaking down each one for me, has...

I have soooo many thoughts on parenting but I try to break down key points in this episode.  Coming out of a Throat Chakra meditation I just flowed through the thoughts that I have had surrounding my parenting and the struggles that I have faced but also the tools and tricks that I have come up, as well as learned from therapy.  The book that I reference is,  "Healing the Child Within,"...

Fun fact about Shantel, owner of Rhythmic Healing is that for a period of her collegiate career decided to study nutrition. From that point forward she has been our "Fun Fact Guru" ever since.  In this episode we just skim the service about what Holistic Healthcare even looks like. This goes back to the episode with Rachel Claire, who is a Functional Medicine Coach and what we discussed...

*TRIGGER WARNING* THIS EPISODE MENTIONS DEPRESSION AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS In this episode, I got to honor of hearing Mike Taylor, case manager for Still Water Academy for troubled youth, the program he himself has graduated from. My Aunt, Wendy Reimann  (licensed Therapist) from Episode #4, for those who want to listen, reached out about this student she worked with when she was working for Still W...

I love the episodes where my sister and I can just shoot the shit, reminisce, and then dive right back into healing.  We decided to share a bit of our time living together in Alexandria Bay, NY. What a place! We talked about the ways that we bonded which included lots and lots of reading! This started the idea of our book club and we decided to read, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. ...

I haven't really had an episode where I really got to talk about my photography business and what that looks like now.  This has been an evolutionary and transformative process for me but I couldn't be more proud of what I have created thus far.  I talk about how my business started but really how it's changed along the years and what I expect out of my business moving forward.  I s...

In todays episode, you get to witness the first time someone reached out to me and wanted to share their thoughts on the Podcast! And what a treat because she is none other than my sweet sister in law, Kenzie Smith!  Kenzie is someone I got to evolve and watch, right along side me. We both have endured family and friends that have been lost on their own journeys, as well as experience grief of a f...
