Embracing change and finding your practice with sacral generator Katie Braja

In this episode I chat with my dear friend and wonder enthusiast, Jessica Adams. We dive into our WonderWeekend that's coming up on April 5-7th, 2024 in Cowansville, Quebec. Over the course of 48 hours we're going to dive deep into various topics such as mindset, creating copy, playing with Canva, money and finances, photography and marketing, human design, and so much more. You'll leave the weekend feeling so clear on your business, your offerings, and who you are as an entrepreneur. 

 

For more details about the weekend check out the link below!

In this episode I'm offering gentle encouragement to reflect on the year that has passed, pick a word for the year ahead, and ask yourself the question: What am I waiting for? 

 

I share about why CLARITY is my word for 2024 and about how letting your energy be your guide can eliminate decision fatigue. 

 

I hope you enjoy this episode! And since connection is one of my core values, please don't hesitate to reach out on IG (@jaimejessica) or through my website (jaimemoar.com) 

 

Wishing you all a new year full of whatever you wish it to be full of!

 

I've been brainstorming about who I want to interview for this new season of my podcast. I've been trying to think about people that I could have new and unique conversations with that could offer something different to my community. And I figured it out! Both of my sisters came to mind for different reasons, and my middle sister Nikki jumped immediately at the opportunity.

 

So we sat in her home office/gazebo, sitting on the floor while sipping tea and had one of the best conversations I've had in a long time. Nikki is a social worker, reflexologist, counsellor and hypnotist. A true manifesting-generator. She chats about her zigzaggy journey that she is more at peace with now than ever. She also debunks some of the myths of hypnotherapy. 

 

Lucky for me, I got to experience one of her combo reflexology hypnotherapy sessions right before we recorded the podcast and it was such a magical experience. You'll have to listen to the episode to find out all of the details! And I have no doubt you'll want to book a session for yourself after listening. Or join her online program that will be kicking off in the New Year!

 

Nikki is still new to the game of being an entrepreneur, but she doesn't need a website or Instagram to be so incredibly gifted. So if you'd like to connect with her or book a session you can email her at: nikkimoar@icloud.com

In this episode I have the absolute privilege of chatting with the brilliant and lovely Diana Davis. As she describes herself in her own podcast, Pollen, she is a gemini, manifesting-generator, rancher's daughter, nomad, matcha snob, former photographer and graphic designer, and the cherry on top, a multi-six figure business owner. 

 

I met Diana through Instagram when she sent me a message that I could have possibly interpreted as having an ulterior motive of making a sale. But there was something authentic about it that made me reply. Since then, we've been floating around in each other's worlds at a distance and I look forward to the day when I can join one of her extremely well thought out business coaching programs. 

 

Diana shares with me the path she took from living on a ranch, to moving to NYC without a plan, hustling her butt off as a photographer, and taking the leap to coaching creative entrepreneurs. A leap that has absolutely paid off. 

 

I highly recommend connecting with Diana to follow along her inspiring journey!

After taking a little breather I came back with full energy (and a few unexpected tears). In this episode I share about where I'm at on both the fertility and cancer journey, which continues to be a wild ride. I also talk about decisions I've made in my business such as choosing to not do human design readings at the moment (even though, yes, this is technically still a human design related podcast). I also talk about how the book writing process has challenged me on a new level, and how signing up for a poetry class made book writing seem easy. 

 

I also mention a few things I'm loving at the moment. So here they are!

 

Books: 

Anything Zoe Whitall (especially The Fake and The Best Kind Of People)

Aspiring Mama by Melissa Collerett

You Better Be Lightning by Andrea Gibson

When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal by Brianna Wiest

 

Podcasts:

We Can Do Hard Things, with Glennon Doyle (especially the episode with Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley)

Life Will Be The Death Of Me, with Chelsea Handler

If Books Could Kill (for pleasure)

The Brand Is You (for business inspo)

 

Movement:

Some Essentrics, some yoga, as much walking as Marley will allow

 

I hope that this podcast continues to inspire you to be curious and to experiment with life. Thank you for being here!

In this episode I get to talk to multidisciplinary artist and creative visionary Jessica Joy Jerome. In the words of Jesse, she is a ceremonialist, pleasure activist, body liberationist, intuitive, psychedelic weed witch. She is a fat, queer, neurodivergent trauma-nerd who practices shamanic-informed Earth-based ritual magic and loves to revel in the beauty, absurdity and mystery of it all. Jesse's magic is in the slow, grounded medicine work where they create soft landing spaces for human beings and bodies who don't always feel safe or seen in traditional so-called 'wellness' spaces.

 

After reading Jesse's bio I couldn't help but feel this deep exhale. And also feel like I need what she offers. In this episode we talk about her life as a young witch living in a small town who became a theatre student and then eventually built a career in set production and design. With a high-pressure job that had long hours Jesse eventually burnt out and needed a break. 

 

This led her to creating offerings around psychedelic cannabis journey work which is clearly her calling. She is kind, loving and a soft landing for anyone who has the pleasure of connecting with her.

 

Jesse's upcoming workshop is in Toronto, but we plan on offering it at The Well in May or June. So give her a follow to stay tuned!

I got introduced to Maida by past guest Melissa Colleret. Mel told me that Maida would be perfect for my podcast, and she was right! Maida is a life coach, specifically for mindset and relationships. But what she really is is a hard ass cheerleader. 

 

Maida wrote a book called 'The Road to F*ck It' so that people could read it and activate their inner Maida - a passionate Latina who's other life motto is 'let them.' People are looking at what you're doing with judgmental eyes? Let them. They have opinions about you or your life? Let them. 

 

She hasn't had an easy road. Her mother passed away last year, she dealt with a stalker, she returned to Chile which brought up a lot inside. Maida realized through all of this that she hadn't taken the time to process everything that had happened. And while she tries to see a lesson in everything, she knew she was at a breaking point. 

 

Not long ago she made the hard, but much needed decision to take a break. This decision wasn't a logical one. She had no idea how long she needed, but she knew she needed it. Her cup was empty and she knew all too well that you can only give from the overflow. 

 

Now she is ready to come out the other side, to step back into her coaching business with clarity, and to write a second book! I highly recommend connecting with this beautiful human (and to order her book like I just did!). She is not only fun and passionate, but her authenticity shines through every word she speaks.

Her book: The Road to F*ck It

In this episode I fly solo. I dive into fundraising and how it is both so fulfilling and also a ton of work (surprise, surprise!). I share about my health journey (cancer and fertility struggles are a wild ride you guys!) and of course, about the lessons learned along the way. My theme of the week when recording was 'surrender'. Something I need more than ever as I navigate the rollercoaster ride that is healing. I share my biggest fear, which felt really vulnerable (hence the tears). And I talk about why The Playground, Club Create and The Well are so important to me. 

 

Since I always like to leave you with a little something to ponder, I also go through the themes I've been guiding my classes around over the last 9 weeks and I would love to hear which stands out to you! 

 

PS. To make a donation to my fundraising campaign for the LLSC click the link below! Thank you tremendously for all of your support.

When planning this episode I thought, I could either do it solo OR I could invite my dear friend Ashley to join me. The second option sounded way more fun. And thankfully she said yes! 

 

The main goal of this episode was to share about the HUGE fundraising effort I said yes to embarking on for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. I have 10 weeks to raise $50,000 (or beyond!) for this cause that is near and dear to my heart. 

 

We discuss all of the fun events that are to come, the joys and challenges of fundraising, and why this fight against cancer is so important to both of us.

 

As you'll hear in this episode, I believe Ashley was sent to me at the perfect moment. Not just because of all her help with this fundraiser, but mainly because she is one of the best people I know.

 

We hope you enjoy this episode! 

 

And stay tuned for ways to donate as we kick off on March 23rd!

In this episode I chat with therapist Gaby Balsells. Gaby works at the intersection of Relationships, Communication and Emotional Health, helping individuals & couples reconnect with themselves and their partner!

 

Gaby shares the story of her own relationship, which wasn't smooth sailing the whole time. It involved living abroad, taking time apart, and making the decision to come back together. Proof that it takes work and support to have a happy and healthy relationship. 

 

I loved my chat with Gaby and would highly encourage you to connect with her!
