Waves of Joy

Our lives are made of moments. Simple words and actions, taken together, we've got a single day, and our days become our life. Every gesture is a seed and the seed determines the harvest. I was casually walking back to my hostel, The Flying Pig Downtown Amsterdam on 9/11/22 when I decided to grab a bottle of water. The universe had other plans as I was greeted by this genuine, joyful, and kin...

Reiki defined by webster is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes, and restore physical and emotional well-being. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Jenny Carroll, a certified reiki master and a truly beautiful ray of sunshine in my life. Today we talk about what reiki i...

Travel isn’t for changing what’s outside, it’s for reinventing what’s inside. Today I am honest with ya'll about how emotional I have been lately. Knowing there is so much power in life transitions fills my heart with gratitude, yet anxiousness and nervousness are deep seeded within me. Tomorrow 9/7/22 is my last full day in America for 6 weeks. As I embark on this European adventure I wanted...

You are not ready for this episode! Do we all have the same therapist? Do we buy bananas and condoms at the same time? Are you secretly freaky, like whips and chains? Mom and dad this episode is not for you. Today my favorite women of Colorado are supposed to be packing me up to move to Arizona but instead we consumed a bit of red wine, grabbed the mic and decided to have the uncomfortable convers...

We soak up the qualities and practices of those around us. One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior. Surround yourself with people who have the habits you want to have. You’ll rise together. Today Emily and I deep dive into mental health, cultivating a morning routine, time blocking and building relation...

Energy doesn't get old, it doesn't get tired, and it doesn't need food. What it needs is openness and receptivity. You have the power to draw upon the infinite energy inside of you every single day. Personally, I noticed this person I was keeping in my life was completely draining my energy, so much that I could barely function at work. Only through awareness, consciousness, and sta...

A good, high quality question to revisit when you feel overwhelmed is... are you having a breakdown or a breakthrough? Keep in mind the most beautiful opportunities tend to abound in difficult seasons of our lives. Do you feel like everything is going in the toilet, like all your plans somehow have fallen through, and that you are confused about the direction of your life? I want you to realize, i...

As I count the days until my solo backpacking trip through Europe I wanted to take a moment and share with you some personal tips and debunk some myths about traveling alone as a female. The anxiety, the fear of the unknown, dealing with men, and just being alone with ourselves sounds terrible doesn't it? Yet, for a living, I chase that feeling and I wouldn't have it any other way. My ho...

Guess what? If you feel insecure, the rest of the world does too. Today we deep dive into three types of insecurity. We use the term insecure a lot. We normally use it to refer to self doubt or lack of confidence, but there's way more to it. Think about the last time you said I'm feeling really insecure or they are acting so insecure. If you are feeling insecure or have in the past, have...

I had no people skills, no sales skills and no business experience, but I was determined to make it. Does this sound like you? My dear friend and successful South Carolina real estate Garrett Henson joins me on today's episode with complete transparency about how life's obstacles do not define us. Garrett went from counting pennies to pay for a coffee date with his wife to starting his o...

Recently, I let someone I love back into my life and I left with a few more lessons on love that I wanted to share with you today. Rather than trying to figure out what another person wants and then putting your efforts towards satisfying their desires, it is much more productive and satisfying for you to be directing your thoughts toward the things that you desire. Today's message to myself...

What if we stopped worrying about money. What if we stopped stressing over who was going to pay for dinner, how we were going to go on that family vacation, or if what the electric bill was going to cost this month?  Imagine if we paid with love and joy.  Imagine if we didn't find overwhelming security and control in what was in our bank account. What if our neighbor won one million dollars a...

People come in asking, where are all the machines? Crossfit coaches respond with, WE are the machines! Today we uncover all things Crossfit. My first question... what the hell is WOD and who is Karen? Crossfit owner Graham Hayes joins me in chatting about crossfit programming, nutrition, mindset, patience, and true heart felt vulnerability about the struggle to succeed. Grab a notebook, maybe some...

Weed is not a drug, it's a leaf. Coming from a small town in upstate NY weed was not something anyone spoke about . Today I offer you a moment to be open minded, less judgemental, and learn about the future of cannabis and how it can help you heal. Today we deep dive into all things cannabis with TERP nutrition owner Ben Pasquel.   We spend time busting myths about getting high, overcoming ch...

How we speak to people, how we manage conflict, how we apologize, how we show compassion, how we sit in humility... How we leave clothes on the floor,  dishes in the sink, or the toilet seat up will be the same whether it’s in our own company or the company of someone else. This is why it is so important to become the right person to attract the right person.  XX Shauna https://sculptedx3.co/ Reso...

Have you ever woke up or went to bed in so much pain that you would do anything to make it go away? Is this the moment your habits and prior conditioning have you reaching for the pain killers and quick fix? I get it, in the moment it seems like the best decision because as humans naturally we will do anything to experience pleasure over pain. But what they don't put on the back of the bottle...

Naive, blonde moment or just a big heart trying to help?! Sonographer_squats instagram was hacked an hour ago! FOLLOW MY BUSINESS ACCOUNT sculptedx3 until we are back friends. As I walked outside after my instagram selfie recovery video was sent I realized something... If today was my last day, would I care about this? The answer, NOT AT ALL. If you realize that you don't have many more years...

The truth is, life treats you the way you feel about yourself. You know those days where everything seems absolutely perfect? Not a cloud in the sky, a full 8 hours of sleep, time to meditate, energy to workout, bills are paid, sex is on fire, a bonus from work, a thriving friend group and you're feeling good in those skinny jeans... What if I told you that you could feel like that every day...

Imagine a world where we prioritized alternating periods of activity with rest and coffee with water. What if we contributed to society in a healthy manner, but we also took afternoon siestas. What if chose the afternoon tea over the 520 calorie double chocolaty chip  mocha frappuccino with 140 mg of caffeine and 79 grams of sugar (insert brain exploding emoji!) It is time we wake up and realize t...

Forgiveness is the key to self love and happiness. In our day to day we often find ourselves predicting and controlling rather than having peace of mind. We go from point A to point B and we actually have no idea how we got there because we are too flustered with what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. True inner peace comes from letting go, being in the present moment, and realizin...

A life is made of days. Each day is an opportunity to say something truthful, to make something more beautiful, to give and receive love, to give a gift only we can provide to this magical world. Life will surely take sudden turns and lead us down paths we aren't prepared for with no map and no destination in sight. Too often we are stuck in ideas, thoughts, and fantasies about what could hav...

You have to be willing to leave where you are to see what God has for you. Life is all about the transformation, this transformation is not in the destination, it’s in the journey, it’s in the process. Americans view long term travel to far away land as a reoccurring dream or an exotic temptation. Instead they live out their insane duty of paying monthly payments on things they don’t really need....

Loneliness isn't the same thing as being alone. Some solitude is good for you. But, being alone needs to be a choice in order to be healthy. Hunting for love doesn't always attract the right partner because our reasons for wanting love maybe unclear. We think oh if I only had someone who loved me my life would be so much better. That's not the way it works. Just like there's a...

You are getting exactly what you ask for. Your intentions set your mind to work in creating your new identity. Your brain works on what it is told. When you tell your brain what you want to attract, it will design internal messages that will feed the good parts of who you are and manifest themselves in a new identity overtime. Today we talk about how being in the receiving mode is hard and recogni...
