I LOVE exploring different healing modalities and this is one I stumbled upon at a  water park of all places!  Halotherapy is a therapy that uses salt (in most cases, Himalayan salt) and something called a halogenerator that puts tiny, almost microscopic pieces of salt into the air to breathe. When you breath it in, the trace minerals that are found in the salt can help heal your body of a variety...

In this episode, I chat with Jen Plachinski, a Sound Healer & Reiki Practitioner. I brought Jen on the show to discuss sound healing - using frequencies to heal our body-mind-soul. I'm completely fascinated by this topic, and while I haven't had a chance (yet!) to experience it, I am blown away by the concept.  Sound healing seems at first glance to be very "out there" or &...

“Your life is too valuable to waste chasing and accumulating material possessions.” ~ Joshua Becker That quote right there just sums it all up for me. While I'm currently living a life FAR from minimalism, the idea that my material possessions are actually detracting   from my life is something I see play out every day. I would MUCH rather spend my time pursing an activity I love (relaxing wi...

Stress. Everyone experiences it, but when it becomes chronic that can be bad news for our bodies. Chronic stress can lead to things like: weight gain poor sleep brain fog chronic illness mood swing That's why I'm a HUGE fan of adaptogens.

Have you tried meditation but didn't stick with it because you weren't good at it? SAME! I tried so many times to start a meditation practice and "failed" every time because I could NOT. STOP.

Several years ago, I came across something called Heart Math™ - a method that teaches you how to get your entire body in a state of coherence.

Achieving this state of coherence means your bodily systems will be working more efficiently and in a synchronized manner (heart rate will sync with...

Ahhhhh, resistance. A topic I know ALL too well.  Resistance CAN be beneficial. It makes us stop and assess before doing something potentially dangerous.  However, it can also lure us back into our comfort zones and keep us from reaching our goals.  If you've ever had a goal (i.e., eat healthy, workout more, get to the next level financially or in your business) you've definitely felt re...

We've all heard the phrase "Let your light shine" - but for many (particularly more introverted people) shining your light can feel uncomfortable and it's hard to know where to begin.  Our egos get in the way, telling us stories based on past experiences telling us why we can't do this or that and that it's safer to stay hidden.  In this interview with life coach Jen...

I had an experience this past Friday that left me a little...raw... I was MAJORLY triggered by something a very well-meaning person said, but it left me feeling pretty down.

Someone did or said something that didn't appear to be offensive at a...

It's Random Acts of Kindness week! For years, I've loved doing random acts of kindness. Sometimes spur of the moment (holding a door, or giving a compliment) but also intentional acts that are pre-planned.
