Episode 19 - Mastering Our Emotions

Thank you for tuning back in to The Magical Midlife Crisis Podcast! WE LOVE YOU! If people can hate for no reason, then we can love for no reason! That's a quote, somewhere :)

We, Meg & Court, open with reflections on gratitude and the importance of genuinely feeling it, touching on quantum alignment when heart & mind coherence is achieved. We talk how media and societal programming often incite fear, which we contrast with their aim to nurture love & connection. 

Valentine's Day prompts a light-hearted exchange about its commercialization, which segues into personal revelations about our paths to self-growth, the influence of our relationships, and harnessing inner love. We also (as often) include the transformative effects of adopting healthier lifestyles, the significance of overcoming life's lows through inner work, and the joy of fostering loving connections in all aspects of life, including work. 

The discussion encompassed the impact of our support system, the essence of doing work that fulfills us, and shared personal anecdotes that illuminate our journey towards self-love & personal growth.

Meg shares more about an intense experience on the drive home from the show. Extreme emotions from high vibe ecstasy to what felt like could have been a near-death experience!

Thank you for 'flowing' back to this podcast, The Magical Midlife Crisis, where we have discussions around the mind, body, and spirit connection, focusing on all levels of holistic living, non-toxic practices & personal awakenings.

Today, we are joined with special guest, Erica Hicks, friend and Water Educator, who has an in-depth understanding of water quality, its impact on health, and holistic living principles!

Erika Hicks is a Water Educator and Sustainability Consultant, teaching women how to leverage the essence of life, WATER, to make an abundant online income. 

Her story starts as an organic baby in the 90s when her mom knew she had to take care of her daughter the best way possible. Erika never grew up with toxic cleaners or products on her family's flower farm, her mom even into homeopathy and holistic health. So when this vitality and life hack of Kangen Water Ionizers came into her life her mom and Erika were blown away. This Mother-Daughter Duo works together to spread this message!

They bring WATER to the conversation on their podcast, Embody A Magical Life, along with inspirational ways to raise your frequency, tap into your feminine, and build your own unique, magical life.

It's almost 2024! Very grateful to end 2023 with this episode - Meg's 2023 Reflection <3 
She stretched out of her comfy zone, is squashing more and more fears & pressing the "f*ck it" button!

Here are some highlights:

• recently came to the realization that she is worthy & has value - and reminding us that we all are worthy & valuable
• craving early in life to know her purpose here on earth
• connecting back to God
• 2023 was the year of "compassion" for herself, for family members, for all others, for animals
• the feeling of coherence
• her ending of repeating history, generational trauma, detaching from labels of "mental health issues", "depression", "anxiety"
• processing through her emotions by meditation, affirmations, breathwork
• her growth in awareness of emotions and what works for her to work through them
• growing up in the bar life, realizing her future was laid out for her and she walked the path without much creation of her OWN until about 8 years ago
• her unhealthy relationship with alcohol
• having compassion AND learning to set boundaries
• shoutout to her first "mom friend" Amy! Please let it in - you are an angel on earth!
• realizing a belief of not wanting to let new people in, was actually a resistance to something she didn't know she needed - community!
• stretching out of her comfort zone in social events
• showing up for others despite the discomfort/anxiety,  without relying on alcohol
• asking herself why she never wanted to commit in the past, realizing her love to support others now outweighs her fears of committing 
• doing "new", squashing fears! doing something weird - a Steel Mace Flow performance coming up!
• finding her sweet spot in sustainable eating & living supported by a healthy mindset, self-talk, thoughts

It means a lot to utilize this thing called a podcast to connect with you all.  We TRULY want to hear your own reflections that come to mind as you've listened or when you tune back in... with any dark moments in your life where you found a better or more magical outcome - if you're listening on Spotify - comment in the Q&A box under this description.
