Episode 212: The Call to Own Your Worth
Most women I work with have spent a lifetime trying to prove or earn their worth, but worthiness is not something you need to hustle for. Worthiness is baked into your humanity. That being said, worth does need to be acknowledged… BY YOU because if you don’t think you are worthy of time and attention, you won’t show up to do the things you are being called to do. This month on the Grace & Grit podcast I am talking about what it means to take Unrelenting Ownership of your health, and ultimately, your life. In this episode, I talk about why it is so important to answer the call to own your worth. I hope you love it and, even more importantly, I hope it helps.

Episode 208: Wanting It More: A Conversation About Sex with Janna Denton-Howes
I have long wanted to have an expert come on the Grace and Grit podcast to talk about sex because having worked with hundreds of clients over the years, I know there is a lot of shame, resentment, and frustration about what happens, or doesn’t happen, in the bedroom. Since our theme this month is pleasure, I thought this would be the perfect time to broach this topic. My guest, Janna-Denton Howes, is a Sex Coach who specializes in helping married women want and enjoy sex more with their husbands. We cover a ton of ground in this episode, including: How to prioritize pleasure (like sex) in your life and how it benefits your health How to design a safe and enjoyable sexual experience How to ask for what you need How to reconnect to your body’s “pleasure potential” How to set boundaries inside and outside of the bedroom … and so much more.

Episode 206: Granting Yourself Permission to FEEL Emotion & Why It Matters to Your Health
Emotion can be incredibly helpful or horribly destructive depending on what we do to process them or if we process them at all. I deeply wish that emotional management was a course taught in primary school. There is so much needless suffering in the world because people either do not allow themselves to feel difficult emotion or they don’t take responsibility where they can for the emotion they do feel. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about why learning how to FEEL all emotion is so important to your health and how to retrain yourself to feel emotion rather than deny, resist or numb it.

The past few weeks have shown me where I could serve women (all women) better AND reminded me of the art of listening.
