Her Wholeness

 We have been away for a few months and are so happy to be back!

Today we are investigating contentment. We define content along with it's sister words complacent, and covet. Listen in to hear where these matters of heart fall on a continuum, get some takeaways on how to increase contentment, and provoke some reflection on where you currently land. We think you'll leave this episode with thought-provoking application on how to improve contentment in your own life.

Today's episode is POWERFUL.

Courtney and Brigette brought on Julia Erman, friend, wife, special needs mom, entrepreneur, author, educator, and speaker. This is a deep, raw, emotional conversation, but one that we need to talk more about. Julia shares her story which includes a lot of suffering. She shares how her faith has propelled her, what grief has been like, and what has kept her moving forward. 

Julia offers rich wisdom, inspiration, courage, and encouragement to our listeners, and we are so grateful for our conversation today. We would love to know what resonated with you - and be sure to head over to Julia's socials to connect with her. 

Trigger Warning: We talk about cancer and children with special needs with some discussion about child loss. Julia shares her story up until the 18:55 second mark if you would like to skip past her story.

We have a really important conversation to share with you all today! We brought Ashley O'Connor on the show - fitness coach, nurse, podcaster, and bright light for both fitness and nursing communities - to talk about body image, diet culture, and of course our favorite question - what can we do about it?! Ashley shares a ton of brilliant info and insight and we hope this conversation inspires you to love your body more or to untether from the weight of diet culture. And maybe allow you to see how it has impacted your own life as you grow in your wholeness.

We're cheering you on in this journey!

Meet Lindsey Konchar, MSW - author, social worker, coach, mom, wife, and newly certified financial therapist! She is so smart and so fun and we think you are going to love her and also resonate with what she has to share.

Lindsey is the author of I've Got 99 Coping Skills but Being a B*tch Ain't One, where she catalogs 99 different coping skills - some you've heard of and some you haven't! In today's interview, we discuss some of the specific coping skills that Lindsey writes about in her book - and we love the turns and and nooks and crannies we get to discuss as a result. Lindsey also talks about her newest interest in helping women become confident and competent with their personal finance and how she is tailoring her coaching in that space.

We can't wait to hear what you think of this episode! If this resonates with you, go and follow Lindsey, buy her book, and share the episode with a friend that would also love this conversation. Thank you for helping us spread the message we are sharing here at Her Wholeness!

This episode is one of our all-time favorites - filled with so many takeaways about community and engaging with people we come into contact with. Tami is a friend, entrepreneur, mentor, and leader in community-building - among so many other hats she wears. She is rich in wisdom and gifts in the area of community building so we had to bring her on the podcast to wrap up this series.

In today's episode, we discuss events that have shaped Tami's perspective on community, things she does regularly to engage with community, and things she has learned along the way that she wants to pass on to others. This interview is gold and we are so excited to hear your takeaways!

Today's episode is part 2 of our series covering the umbrella topic of "connectedness." Today we are specifically talking all about networking. Or, if that word gives you hives, you can call it "relationship building" instead ;)
 
Courtney starts off the conversation by giving us 5 benefits of networking. We couldn't think of any downsides! Then we wrap up the episode talking about "how-to" networking (with a few "how-not-to" ideas to boot).  We cover the energy to bring to an event, the magic that already exists in your inner and outer circle, how networking can expand opportunities, and how to get you in the right frame of mind to network.

There is something for everyone in today's episode! Share with a friend who might benefit from hearing this message, too!

Plastics are not made equally! Today Courtney is leading us through a detailed explanation of the different types of plastics. We are looking at the numbers on plastics and what they mean for our health. Courtney tells us which ones are safer than the others, and what the limitations of all plastics are, including some alternatives for plastics. This one is a short but highly educational one so you might want to have a notepad handy!

Meet Tanna Duarte! Tanna is our guest today on the pod. Tanna is a Holistic Women's Health and Fitness Coach. We brought her on the podcast today to share her knowledge with you!

In today's episode, we cover a lot of ground. We cover the most common issues Tanna sees with her clients and the cultural issues that she most interfaces with as a coach (BBLs anyone?). We discuss the difference between longevity of life and vitality, and the role that nutrition and fitness plays in longevity, vitality, and ultimately quality of life and JOY.

Today's episode is a continuation of our conversation about boundaries from last week. Last week Courtney and Brigette talked about why boundaries are important, and this week we are getting into the meat and potatoes of HOW TO set boundaries that are loving and respectful.

This episode is formatted to first look at how to recognize you need a boundary, followed by discussion about how to go about setting the boundary with some things to consider. The episode wraps up talking about how to hold and sustain the boundary, with some thoughts on when it might be appropriate to re-evaluate. This conversation about boundaries is an important one. We are glad we're on the journey with you on implementing them!

Today's episode is part 1 of 2 in a raw, honest conversation about boundaries and the importance of boundaries and its impact on our wholeness. Courtney and Brigette answer the question of WHY boundaries are important - what purpose do they serve?  And what happens if we don't have boundaries or uphold the boundaries we set?

Courtney and Brigette also discuss how to support other loved ones in our life in upholding their boundaries - even if the boundary doesn't feel good to us. Listen in, and join us next week for part 2 where we will discuss types of boundaries and more on HOW to set boundaries. We can't wait to hear what you take away from this mini-series!

Courtney and Brigette discuss how they have received a question several times over the past few weeks that goes something like this, "I have so many things I want to do! How do I choose what to focus on?" The reality is we all have limits and finite resources (re: time!). There may be seasons we are in where we identify 35 things we want to work on or accomplish, and if we try to do them all at the same time, we're probably not going to do any of it well. This is setting ourselves up for failure and can even be a form of self-sabotage. 

In today's episode, Courtney and Brigette walk us through how to prioritize our goals. They discuss two key lists to make, and then suggest three filters that you can run your goals through to aid in removing some and prioritizing what remains to ensure the areas you're choosing to focus your time and energy are in alignment with your core values in the season you're in. This is a very tactical episode that is sure to be helpful throughout the year - not just while doing goal setting at the beginning of the new year!

One Google search will make it very evident that choosing the best salt for you is trickier than it would seem. Table salt, kosher salt, sea salt, and Himalayan pink salt (plus a lot of derivatives)...how do you choose?

In today's episode, first Courtney and Brigette break down the question of whether salt is friend or foe. Spoiler: we choose friend! And then Courtney leads the discussion on pros and cons of salt options and how to choose which one(s) is best for you. This episode will help you the next time you're in the grocery store or even help you to understand what you currently have in your pantry. And we even dashed the episode with food puns for your entertainment.

In today's episode, we set out to talk about overcoming failure, and it led us down a discussion of how we define failure, how we can reframe our idea of failure, how we can use failure for growth, and so much more. We wrap up the episode with an acronym to help with a systematic way to overcome "failure." As always, we can't wait to hear what you think of this one.
