The Freely YOU Podcast

If you have been dealing with depression, please know - you are not alone. I also want you to know, you do have the power to make yourself feel better. I know this is true, because I do it for myself constantly.  I'm sharing the 4 most effective + natural ways I have found to combat depression. The best part? Every single one of these things can be done in  under 5 minutes .  I am not a doctor, bu...

What if failure wasn't actually a possibility for you? How would that change what you want and what you are willing to go after?  Failure can be an opportunity if you view it as that.  Because if you are doing big things, you will eventually fail at something. It is inevitable. The goal is not to avoid failure all together. The goal is to get curious about what that failure is here to teach you. T...

101 to be exact.  In this confession corner I am explaining why and what it has to do with you. So, cheers! I hope you enjoy this quick "confession".

How do you find happiness when it doesn't come easily for you? For a long time, I felt like something was wrong with me because happiness did not come easily for me. It left me feeling defeated and like I was doomed to live a life with a constant internal struggle to find joy.  I'm going to be perfectly honest with you - I still work for my happiness despite all of my personal growth. AND I don't...

This week, I was forced to take an uninvited pause. In the moment, it felt like the last thing I wanted to be doing, but in retrospect, it was such a meaningful time of reflection. Unfortunately, most of us aren't going out of our way to reflect on our lives as a whole. It often takes a life-changing event or something traumatic to really put our current reality and the choices we are making into...

See part 1 for a full description of these episodes.  This is a two part podcast because there was a lot to cover! I have left topics and times below if you want to dive into specific areas that speak to you. 0:50 The way that Angel triggered me by saying "if you need a break from your kids - what is actually wrong with you?!?" 6:48 How our past impacts the way we mother today 10:05 Healing your o...

Angel Rockwell is a healer, a coach, a spirit channel, and most importantly - A WILD MAMA. Angel is a friend, and someone who I am often in awe of in her motherhood. Angel has tossed the rule book aside and is doing things unapologetically her way which happens to include a baby on the boob a majority of the time, frolicking naked in her backyard, creating medicine from the earth - and I just LOVE...

What is an Ego Death anyway and will we all experience it in our lifetime?!?!?! Well, if you are on a path of growth, you will inevitably come to a point where pieces of your ego must be left behind in order for you to continue to move forward. This can feel overwhelming, confusing, and stir up all sorts of emotions (and I hope you already know, I am speaking from experience on this one). When we...

There is a big difference between reacting and responding to the triggers in our lives.  A reaction is our initial response that comes without much thought. For many of us, this can look like us losing our tempers, or maybe it's avoiding the situation in its in entirety, or shutting down emotionally.  A response is a reaction that is rooted in mindfulness . It is a conscious choice to address the...

One of my biggest focuses of 2024 is to be seen .  And let me be clear, it is not that I am not 100% authentic with you here - because I am. But wanna know a secret??? There is more to be said here.  And I think that you have more to say too. I spent YEARS of my life trying not to be seen. Trying to fly under the radar. To fit in. To just let what was be ENOUGH. And you know what? I suffered. The...

I know, it sounds basic AND I think it is a really important conversation to have. I see many of us giving so much to our relationships or our careers, that we sacrifice our own needs in the process. I also know many of us struggle to receive love, support, help, generosity etc.  Today, I have Brie Bailey on to talk about this important topic. Not only is Brie one of my best friends, she is also o...

Perfection is an incredibly high standard that many of us set for ourselves and often, we don't even realize that we are doing it. Emily Sheets and I are diving into the qualities of a perfectionist, how to navigate these tendencies, and why it's so important to love yourself through the moments that you don't get it exactly right. Perfectionism can work in our favor, but it can also become a stan...

If you have been one of the many people clicking on our links to learn more about The Nest women's community - we want to share more with you!  Trust me when I say, I know how scary it can be to seek support. I also know how easily we mistake excitement and a deep knowing that something is meant for us, for fear. What I have been shown time and time again, is that our biggest breakthroughs are on...

Meet my friend, Jarrett. Not only is he one of those guys you can't help but love right away, he also happens to be one of the few faithful male followers of The Freely YOU Podcast.  I have admired the way Jarrett chooses to live his life for quite some time. As you'll hear, Jarrett doesn't follow anyone's rule book and continuously follows his passions. And what do you know? That has led him exac...

Almost didn't hit record on this one...but you know I'm here for the real talk .  I hope you can learn from my mistakes, be inspired by the fact that I am simply an imperfect human trying to figure it all out, and send me ALL the good vibes for the next 8 weeks.  This didn't feel great to share AND I stand behind the message. Hint: It's giving retreat  

As you move into the New Year with all of your beautiful goals, let's be sure that the thing standing in your way isn't YOU. One thing that I know for sure is that you are completely capable of achieving anything that you have your heart set on. So, what gets in the way and hinders us from moving forward? Well, most the time it's our subconscious beliefs, the programming, and our desire to keep ou...

This was going to be a quick little CONFESSION CORNER and as soon as I went to press record, I knew it had to be more than that. So the confession?? I almost tossed in the towel on my biz in 2023 - FOR REAL. You guys...I even updated my resume. Which literally made me want to vomit. So, today I am coming clean on ALL of that and sharing what made me decide to keep the faith and ultimately hold the...

This is my first "end of year" podcast I've created for you....and I'm not going to lie, there is a bit of presure (that I am 100% putting on myself) to get it right. I've actually thought a lot about what to leave you with. And as much as I love a good strategy session, or staking a claim on your goals, something about all of those ideas just didn't feel right.  Giving you another thing "to do" i...

Today I am introducing you to Heather. I had the pleasure of working with and supporting Heather a time in her life that she was feeling lost and unsure of what was next for her. We are diving into exactly what she was going through and how she found her way through that challenging time.  *Spoiler alert: She has officially made it to the other side and is crushing life* In this episode we talk: -...

There is something so pure and magical about seeing the world from a child's perspective.  Today I have a very special guest on the podcast who also happens to be the  youngest guest I have had on the show. At 10 years old, Azlyn is inquisitive, she is smart, and she has one of those personalities that you can't forget. Today, I asked Azlyn some tough questions regarding her career, marriage, and...

If you happen to be a people pleaser, I already know that we have a lot in common. I understand how easy it can be to slip into people pleasing tendancies because you care about other people's happiness, needs, and opinions. These are some of your best qualities AND they can often lead us to overextend ourselves.  This episode is meant to shine a light on: The qualities of people pleasers WHY we h...

This story came to mind when I was speaking about sacrifice vs. gain in your career earlier this week. Here is one of the MANY sacrifices I made that did not prove to be worth the gain!  P.S. I did this event with my daughter for 4 YEARS. Oh, AND I forgot to mention my husband was there working too! A real family affair lol.

Being an empath is one of my biggest strengths, AND it is also one of my biggest weaknesses. So this is the confession corner: I care TOO MUCH often, and that can be REALLY challenging in my heartled business. I also realized I dropped a SECOND CONFESSION in this episode: I have not been feeling confession corner lately. You will have to listen for that one! 

Ready or not, 'tis the season! While this time of year can be incredibly magical with all the lights, the nostalgic music, and the meaningful traditions...it can also feel busy, stressful, indulgent, and often leaves us drained or stuck in a cookie coma.  As this year comes to an end, I want you to feel primed and ready to walk into the New Year. Not exhausted and trying to get back on track when...

Say hello to the love of the life, the number one investor in my company, my partner in parenthood, and in life. A man I would be absolutely lost without - Johnny Heredia. As many of you know, marriage is no joke. It is full of it's ups and downs - sweeping highs and lows, if you will. Ours has been no exception. Today, we are talking about LIFE. I let this conversation flow a bit more than usual...
