What if the key to living a truly successful and joyful life was simply about aligning your desires with your decisions and divine design? What if shifting your perspective could bring about new opportunities and positive changes? That's what we, Jana and Jason, explore in this episode of Living Lucky. We delve into the common struggles many face in relationships, especially within a family context. Using a fictional character, John, we offer a thought-provoking analysis of how miscommunication and misinterpretation within a family unit can lead to resentment and frustration.

We help break down this cycle, showing you how you can turn around such scenarios by aligning your actions with your family's needs. Additionally, we discuss Wayne Dyer's concept of "swimming upstream" and how changing your level of consciousness can help you move with the flow of life. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how you can turn your life into an upward success cycle by focusing on quality time and meaningful interactions with your loved ones.

I invite you on a journey through the life of a man whose love for bees extends far beyond the norm. Henry "Hank" Sveck, a veteran real estate investor turned clinical psychologist, is now dedicating his life to an entirely different realm - the fascinating world of honeybees and their conservation. We begin our exploration with the centuries-old tale of Hank's family farm, which has evolved from a bustling commercial orchard into a sanctuary for these enchanting insects.

We delve into the incredible biological adaptations that equip bees to survive harsh winter conditions, and Hank shares the surprisingly complex social structures within a hive. In an intriguing segment, we discuss the delicate balance between intervening in nature and letting it chart its own course, highlighting the surprising benefits of so-called "aggressive" bees. Our conversation then takes us to the shores of Nova Scotia, where an upcoming ecosystem restoration project promises a beacon of hope.

Wrapping up, we shift our focus to practical ways we can contribute to bee conservation, from transforming our backyards into miniature meadows, to supporting initiatives that combine tourism with environmental preservation. Hank's passion for bees goes beyond their ecological importance, touching on their therapeutic potential for people suffering from PTSD, and the profound spiritual connections they can induce. It's a conversation that underscores the importance of continuous learning, respect for all beings, and the power of the smallest actions to make a difference.

One Mama Midwife | Lauren's Tips on Embracing Dreams and Empowering Women

This episode is SO INSPIRING, you will just LOVE Lauren and her high vibe energy. We were delighted to chat to Lauren from One Mama Midwife about all the parts of her life right now, where she draws inspiration from and what keeps her going.

Lauren shares with us how she became a Mother at the young age of 18 and how her experience inspired her to change the course of her life to support women going through the same thing. Lauren now has 4 children, a successful business in Midwifery (One Mama Midwife) and helps women daily on their journey into Motherhood. She has such a positive and determined attitude to reach for her dreams and go for it! Lauren runs Antenatal classes as well as Caesarean specific Antenatal classes in her new studio, Sol Studio which she just opened as a part of her offering as a Midwife. 

Some of Lauren’s stand out tips to balance her professional and personal life are:

• Don’t overthink things, just do it! If it feels good, follow the lead and take action.
• Trust your intuition and act on it.
• Ask for help from family and friends and accept it.
• Let yourself grow and improve, learn as you go. Mistakes are part of success as long as you take the insight and move forward.
• Sit in gratitude when you’re having a rough day. Come back to what centres you.
• Don’t take no for an answer, keep going, keep learning!

Lauren opens up about the mental load of the rough times in midwifery and how she copes. Her ability to look at the beauty in all situations and find light is truly inspirational. 

We chat all things Maternal Assisted Caesareans and how Lauren has paved the way in NSW for women to have this as an option for birth. She single handedly created a new policy at her hospital to be able to birth her own baby through Maternal Assisted Caesarean. This metod is not only empowering but enables the oxytocin release and connection that Mum’s who have previously had Caesareans haven’t had the opportunity to experience.

Listen as I interview Haben Delallata, who has co- written "Inspired Living: a guide to ignite joy and prosperity." She discusses 3 intrinsic knowings that we are born with, how to wake up our intuition, and a reminder that we are not alone: we are partners with God!

Haben also gets real as she discusses depression and changes she needed to make in her good but "could be better" marriage, which was learning to lean into her Divine Feminine!

Her book will be released on June 24. You can get a copy on Amazon.

It's real talk with a mom who doesn't feel like she has it all together but totally looks like she does to every other mom... IYKYK ;) In this episode we discuss parenting, new mom life in a pandemic, running a family with 4 boys, what simplified and intentional living looks like for this mom and so much more. Meghan is also a Kindergarten teacher SO I get her to open up on how we can all make sense of some of the feedback we got from teachers about where are kids are at this year... and what we can all be doing this summer that doesn't involve hiring a tutor but will help our kids keep learning year round!


Here is where to follow Meg on IG @mamamegsessentials

Here is the cool SEEK by iNaturalist app that we use when out exploring with our kids
Here are helpful NEW reader books if your little one is struggling to learn or have confidence in reading
Here is a fun online program the Toronto Library is running this summer for all ages

Inspired Action Takeaway - Try taking one of the many examples of rituals for simplifying in this episode and try it for a week ... add smoothies each day for your kids, go for a walk and make learning fun, try practicing sight words and reading daily, meal prep on Sunday... there were so many routines that help make life run smoother that Meghan shared.

Fulfilled or Sad?  Either way we're going to die. Time doesn't care, do you?

Now that I turned fifty I care a WHOLE lot more.
