    #94: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 2

    #94: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 2

    Today in honor of International Women's Day, I want to continue to honor one of the women I admire most in this world.  A woman who has lived a full life with a relaxed ease.  Leading with love and connection rather than fear and avoidance, she is a beautiful picture of what Health Harmony and Happiness is.

    In part 2 of my conversation with my 104-year-old friend, Christa Belknap, we dive deeper into her wisdom and perceptive insights on life.   We talk about life amid historical events, her unanticipated adaptability to technology and the profound impact of education. Christa shares her adventurous side, reminiscing of her time in a motorcycle club and traveling with her husband to wistfully recounting the emotions attached to historical events like sending family off to war.

    Her contagious spirit of resilience and adaptability combined with her love for others and curiosity in life instills a significant message.

    #93: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 1

    #93: A Century of Wisdom: Revealing the Secrets to Living a Long Life, Part 1
    Everyone wants the secret to a long life, and although there may not be just one, we do uncover some of those key elements in today's episode. 

    Join me as I sit down with my 104-year-old friend, Christa Belknap, to glean some beautiful wisdom from her.

    This is the first in a 2-part interview with Christa Belknap, a beautiful soul who has lived her 104 years leading with love. In our conversation Christa uncovers some of the key elements of a long and fulfilling life. She shares her wisdom and life experiences, attributing her longevity to love, faith, exercise, and letting go of things no longer serving her.

    From physical to spiritual self-care, Christa shares wisdom on living a long and beautiful life.  One of the earliest "fitness" models (as we might know them to be called), Christa even modeled for the newspaper in a column called "Do Not Grow Old" back in the late 30's/early 40's.  She has certainly let that element ring true as the years have passed.

    Christa shares various aspects of what her life has been like, including about her family, beliefs, and the importance of staying adaptable and leading with love. The conversation highlights the significance of slowing down and being present in life and how love and connection can bring people together.

    #92: Rhythms of Renewal: Restarting Routines Amidst a Winter Pause

    #92: Rhythms of Renewal: Restarting Routines Amidst a Winter Pause

    It's time to get back into a routine. The body works in patterns and habits, so when it's spent some time being out of sorts because of schedule changes or downtime, as has been the case for me a lot recently with winter break and an obnoxious number of snow days, how do you return to the sense of normalcy or routine that keeps you thriving?

    In this episode, I'll share with you...

    1. How to know when you need to invite more routine into your life or back into your life
    2. Why routines, patterns and habits actually create expansion and freedom in your life
    3. How to balance routine with flow


    After a restful break, it's time to rekindle routines and habits for a mindful journey through winter. In this episode I explore the delicate balance between structure and flow, navigating winter's pause while reigniting creativity and self-discovery. Learning to transition through life with ease is what cultivating health, harmony and happiness is all about. I share insights on cultivating wellness, fostering connection, and embracing the beauty of easing through seasonal transitions.

In this episode, I'll tell you:

    1. How you can offer up the gift of the present this season

    #89: Bridging the Gap: Christianity and Manifestation

    #89: Bridging the Gap: Christianity and Manifestation

    In an effort to clarify how I view the connection between Christianity and manifestation, from my current state of consciousness, and that I didn't share in the last episode, I riff about what it means to be Christian and believe in the power of manifestation.

    I believe these concepts can coexist and wasn't completely clear on that in the previous episode.  In my mind both practices revolve around allowing positive energy to flow, fostering abundance for oneself and others.

    My intention in sharing this episode is to help bridge the gap between a more conservative Christian viewpoint and the more mystical "woo-woo" beliefs. I believe in using positive energy to create beneficial circumstances for ourselves and others, with the understanding that the force behind this energy is God.
     
    Manifestation does not have to been seen as creating something from nothing, but rather shaping circumstances through free will to foster greater well-being. I believe that everything good and positive comes from God, and ultimately, we have to surrender to His plan for our lives, but we can indeed create the circumstances and own our thoughts and actions to live in a way that moves us towards what we want to be inviting into our lives.

    #88: The Power of Manifestation in Christian Faith (with Rachel Bayford)

    #88: The Power of Manifestation in Christian Faith (with Rachel Bayford)

    *Please note the views and opinions expressed in this episode are a discussion about personal beliefs and experiences of the host and guest.

    Christianity and manifestation can indeed go in the same sentence–it’s about allowing the positive flow of energy to create abundance, which essentially what prayer is all about.

    I believe that God is the Great Creator...of all.  And with that, we can take the steps to live in a way that aligns with where we want to be in life, but ultimately it is up to God.  

    We can't create anything from nothing, it is all God-given.  And yet, there is a way of being or living in this world that also allows for us to create the mindset and open heart to connect with the goodness that the love of God has to offer.

    In this podcast episode, my guest, Rachel Bayford, and I discuss the compatibility of Christianity and manifesting. We explore the idea that manifesting is about being open to creative possibilities, making intentional requests, and connecting with inner guidance. The episode highlights our personal stories related to manifesting and emphasizes the importance of positivity and faith in this practice, suggesting that it can indeed align with Christian beliefs.


    Here's what you'll learn in today's episode:

    1. What manifesting is
    2. Why it's OK to manifest even if you're Christian
    3. The steps to manifest
    4. What manic manifesting is and why it won't work for you.

    A little about Rachel:
    Having studied Wayne Dyer's work for many years Rachel believes that “everything is perception and when we change the way we look at things, those things we look at, change!” Rachel prides herself in reframing and turning negative emotions into positive feelings and thoughts.

    #86: In Search of Balance - Embracing Our Humanity and the Divine Within (w/ Melissa Harris)

    #86: In Search of Balance - Embracing Our Humanity and the Divine Within (w/ Melissa Harris)

    Have you ever pondered about the intriguing paradox of human existence; how we simultaneously encapsulate both the physicality of being human and the spirituality of divinity? Join me, along with  Melissa Harris, as we dive into this topic. We invite you to discover the rhythms of humanity - the collective earthly experience, our personal day-to-day trials and tribulations, and the emotional and cognitive phenomena that make us who we are. Equally, we'll delve into the essence of divinity and how our spiritual connectedness is woven into our being and echoes in the world around us.

    We discuss the limitations of black-and-white thinking and the importance of embracing curiosity to find a deeper connection with the divine within ourselves. Melissa and I touch on the significance of balancing faith and openness, forgiveness, and the idea that all world religions share a common message of love and harmony.

    In today's episode we'll cover:
    1.  That we are a living paradox - one in which we can be fully human and fully divine at the same time, and how our awareness of this leads to wholeness.

    2.  That everything in our experience is sacred and is part of our connection with {mystery, Universe, God}.

    3.  That the more we can release our grasp on certainty of belief and surrender to something beyond the limits of our minds, the deeper we can connect with the {mystery, Universe, God}.

    #85: Why Functional Breathing Matters to Your Rhythms

    #85: Why Functional Breathing Matters to Your Rhythms

    How does breath relate to your rhythms? Or to balancing the masculine and feminine energy that reside within you?

    Your breath connects the world within you with the world around you, and breath work can be the tool you use to link your own rhythms and the world's rhythm so you live in flow instead of chaos.

    Your breath invites a more balanced, mindful way of living. In today's episode I'll uncover the connection between breathwork and your energetic rhythms. 

    You'll learn:

    1. Why breathwork most certainly is related to your energetic rhythms
    2. How breathwork is similar to tracking your rhythms and the rhythms around you
    3. How breathwork can be a tool to use to your advantage during your cycle.

    Today's talk could change how you perceive and interact with life's most natural process - breathing.  Breathing exercises can indeed help us slow down, cultivate mindfulness during chaos, and fill us up rather than drain us, just like tracking your Energetic Rhythms can do.

    Breathing well, aka Functional Breathing, is breathing that optimizes the air exchange that takes place within your body.  Creating the right environment for this gas exchange to take place.  But in order to do that, one of the key elements of breathing well is actually to slow down your breath. And believe it or not using your body's natural rhythms and the rhythms around you involves that same element of slow. It's about creating a new baseline way of living. A more mindful approach to showing up in this world.

    How you breathe is who you are as a person, so when you can slow your breath, your life naturally begins to slow down and feel less chaotic. Less rushed. Less busy all the time, even if it is full.  It seems to flow instead of fight the chaos that surrounds it.  Listen in to learn more.

    #84: Harmony Within: Exploring the Body-Mind Bridge

    #84: Harmony Within: Exploring the Body-Mind Bridge

    Your mind and body are one, not separate as we've been led to believe. And the quality of both your breath and posture mirror the way you show up in this world. 

    Imagine if a simple shift in your posture could change the way you're perceived or the way you perceive the world around you, or if intentional breathing could bring focus and calm to your life. In this episode, I unpack the profound idea that the body and mind are one and not separate.  And as one, your breath plays a crucial role in binding them together. 

    In this episode you'll learn:

    1. What the body-mind connection is
    2. How it influences how you show up in this world
    3.  How breathing and body posture impact your thoughts and how you feel.

    #83: Navigating Your Inner Critic and Resentment

    #83: Navigating Your Inner Critic and Resentment

    When your Inner Critic stops by and brings along resentment for the ride, everyone around you, including yourself, might want to run for the hills.

    Your inner critic is the opposite of your inner guidance and she or he usually has it out for you, especially when she brings along resentment.  But it's not always a bad thing when she shows up. 

    In today's episode, I share about a time when my inner critic and resentment were screaming in my ears and how I used it to my advantage instead of letting it bring me down.  I share how allowing these parts of me to be present and have a voice led me to enriching my experience as a mom as well as deepening my relationship with my husband and myself.

    #82: How to Create Your Own {Full Moon} Releasing Ritual

    #82: How to Create Your Own {Full Moon} Releasing Ritual

    Feeling stuck is a good indicator that something needs to be released from your life. Yet when it regularly feels like the chaos of running kids, making sure they're fed and bathed while also taking care of the household and your relationship with your spouse (and hopefully even yourself) dictates your life, it may make the thought of letting go of anything seem impossible. 

    Which is why it's essential to carve out time in your schedule to actually focus on the task of letting go. 

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    1. Why releasing is essential to your action-taking nature
    2. How to know when it's time to release something
    3. What a releasing ritual is
    4. How to create your own releasing ritual

    In your life releasing might look like getting rid of physical things that are cluttering up your home environment or digital clutter on your device or in your inbox, or it might look like mental clutter that's taking up precious real estate in your big beautiful mind. 

    Just like physical clutter can make you feel more chaotic, stressed or contracted, mental and emotional clutter can do the same.

    You don't have to live with the mental and emotional clutter anymore.

    And when you are able to let go of whatever is stuck in your brain, you experience freedom and flow...and it's beautiful!

    A releasing ritual or ceremony helps you place intention around whatever it is you want or need to let go of in life.

    #80: How to Navigate ADHD with a Vision Driven Life

    #80: How to Navigate ADHD with a Vision Driven Life

    There are 3 things an ADHD mind needs something to be in order to stay focused on it. That thing has to be interesting, important and have a sense of urgency to it. Those rules likely apply to anyone, even if you don't have ADHD, but unfortunately not everything in life meets those criteria, and when it doesn't, you have to have a plan to stay focused.  

    In today's episode, you'll learn:

    • What a "vibe care" toolkit is and why you need one even if you don't have ADHD
    • How to navigate life & feel successful in whatever you do while living with ADHD
    • Why a living a Vision Driven life is ideal if you're a mom living with ADHD

    ADHD is seemingly a much more common thing for adults, especially moms, to be diagnosed with.  As mom, we have so much going on in our brains and often it can feel like it's very hard to focus on all of them, even more so if you have ADHD.

    "When you have ADHD, we, we tend to feel our way through life.   We feel so much in our bodies.  we're feeling all of the natural rhythms of the moon and planets as well as all from all of our senses, that we tend to go up into our, into our heads. So we feel, and then we go up into our heads and then we get into a mess. Bringing ourselves back down into the body is where we can take care of it."    - Tracy

    Tracy Nolin Beerman helps moms with ADHD declutter their minds and forge an empowered path forward through her powerful workshops, courses, programs and the Vision Driven Mom With ADHD podcast, even if they have a million other things in their brilliant, unique minds.  

    She whole-heartedly believes that it’s possible to have ADHD without ADHD having you.

    #78: Why Yoga is More Than Just Exercise

    #78: Why Yoga is More Than Just Exercise

    Yoga is often called exercise by those wanting to be able to move more freely or those wanting to lengthen their muscles while still building strength without getting bulky, and although those may be by-products of yoga, they do not constitute this ancient spiritual practice being placed in the same context as traditional exercise. 

    Today you'll learn:

    • What yoga is
    • Three themes as to why yoga is more than just exercise
    • How to use the practice to begin to flow with life even when life doesn't go as you expect it to

    The root of yoga is about so much more than physical fitness.  It can transform your life on multiple levels without you even trying to do so—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually-- and can be a powerful introductory and lifelong tool personal growth and self-discovery.

    #77: Yoga Instructor vs. Yoga Teacher

    Yoga is not just what happens on the mat in a gym, but yoga is meant to be a life journey.

    • What a Yoga Instructor is
    • What a Yoga Teacher is 
    • Why they are different
    • How to know which one is right for you

    If you're looking to learn yoga, get clear on what your intention is for seeking out a yoga practice or class.   Knowing the difference between a yoga teacher and instructor is a big part of cultivating the self-discovery journey you want to take and how you intend to use the practice in your life.

    #76: Creating Your Own Intention-setting Ritual

    #76: Creating Your Own Intention-setting Ritual

    You've heard me talk about setting intentions as a key step in being able to flow with life, but what does that actually look like and why does it even matter?

    It was a New Moon yesterday, and the days surrounding a New Moon are ideal for setting intentions.  Intentions are not so much things you want to add to your to-do list, but rather,  a choice to move consciously towards doing something or creating a particular way of being in life; choosing how to approach or live out something.

    They're about aligning with your highest good and choosing intentional actions to do so.

    In today's episode, I'm going tell you:

    🗸 What an Intention-setting Ritual is
    🗸 Why you need it to flow with life
    🗸 How to create your own intention-setting ritual

    #75: Gratitude, the Practice of Being "Blessed"

    #75: Gratitude, the Practice of Being "Blessed"

    Blessed can be a sign that you hang on your wall, but isn't really thought of as much more than a decoration for others to see. But what would your life look like if you actually were putting that sign into action?

    When you're trying to do all the things and stuck in "doing" mode, it can be real easy to begin to live in a trance of negativity or even blame because life feels so full and heavy.

    An intentional gratitude practice can help.  Gratitude is not only the practice of identifying blessings, but also actively honoring them.
