The Fuel Your Fire Podcast with Alicia Wood

One of the biggest things that holds you back in life is the fear of judgement. You don’t want other people to judge you for what you say, do, how you look etc. (SAME HERE! 👋) But, how aware are you of the judgements you have about other people?!? You know when you scroll through social media and you see a post that makes you roll your eyes, or feel jealous, or say things to yourself like “yeah r...

Yepp, if someone else makes you feel sh*tty about yourself, that’s because you’ve allowed them to let you feel like crap. I’m not blaming you, there’s zero blame here, but hear me out.  If someone says something less than kind to you, it’s actually not about you. It’s about them and I’ll dive into this more in the episode.  But when you can realize that you’re in control of how you feel about your...

This episode is a bit different. We’re talking about Money Mindset. We talk a lot about Mindset and wellness and well-being on this podcast, but oftentimes people wouldn’t consider money to be associated with mindset.  Hina Khan is our guest today, she’s a Psychotherapist and Peak Performance Coach guiding and mentoring people to work through seemingly unbreakable barriers.   If you would like to...

Continuing on with our workplace well-being month, I wanted to talk about thoughts at work that cause stress and anxiety (or really any negative emotion) And give you a clear tool that you can use to figure out whether your thought is true or not.  If you’re able to listen to this episode on a park bench with a notebook - awesome, you can dive right into the work.  If not, just listen along and th...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

Today we’re chatting about the importance of getting into a peak on a daily basis. Sadly, getting to a peak state (you know, feeling awesome, feeling calm, feeling relaxed, feeling electric, feeling whole, feeling loved) is rare. But, we can actively do things to get ourselves to a peak state more often. You want to feel good right? Well you can, and the more you allow yourself to feel good, the m...

The number one thing that I’ve heard people complain about during the pandemic has been sleep, or lack thereof. Which is why I decided to bring a sleep expert onto the show!

She’s a Wellness Coach as well as a certified Yoga Instructor. There are a n...

Nothing in our lives actually has meaning. But our upbringing, culture and our conditioning makes us believe that certain things mean whatever it is that we believe them to mean.  Here’s an example: If you were to get a new job. Is that good or is it bad? Is it exciting or is it scary? Are you qualified or are you unqualified? Is it a good job or is it a bad job?  It’s none of those things, and al...

If you’re reading the title of this episode and going… “What the hell is womb sovereignty?”, you’re not alone. It’s one of the first questions I ask ;) Today’s guest Deslee Denne calls herself The Womb Witch  (Which we also dive into, so interesting!) and helps menstruating people how to solve their period and fertility issues by learning to trust their instincts and by working with plant medicine...

I was recently asked on a podcast about whether fear ever goes away. For me, no - there’s always creeping up and trying to talk me out of doing things that I really want to do.  From all the books I’ve read, coaches I’ve worked with, people I’ve talked to - the one thing they can agree on is that when you’re going after something you’ve never gone after before - fear will come along for the ride w...

This episode is meant to strengthen your imagination. I used to say that I had trouble seeing images in my mind. I have since learnt that’s simply not true. I can see images in my mind perfectly well, but I work to strengthen them.  Similar to meditation it’s done while you’re sitting somewhere quietly and can transport yourself to a campfire with friends. It’s fun, it’s campy, it’s enjoyable...so...

Ladies, you know when you look in the mirror and pick yourself apart? You know, grabbing at your sides or doing that side turn to check out the tummy fat? Well, it’s not just us women who go through this – it’s also the men.  This episode is really interesting because we’re talking a lot about body image from a male point of view. Those pictures on the front of magazines are affecting both men and...

Have you ever caught yourself scrolling social media and been like “Oh my gosh, how long have I been on here? Show of hands! Yes, did you do that on purpose?

Not mindlessly living a life you don’t even realize you’re living. Oh It’s a jui...

Make sure you’re sitting down and can be in silence for this episode. This is kind of like a meditation, but also – not really. It’s a daydream or some people might call it visualization. I’m going to take you to the beach so that you can have some fun in the sun.    The purpose of this is so that your body can get into the same emotional state that you would when you are actually at the beach. An...

She uses emo...
