84. Building Your Self Love Muscles To Drastically Alter Your Life w/ Judi Johnson
Maria resonated DEEPLY with today’s episode, guided by the wonderful Judi Johnson (The_Indigo_Coach), who uses feelings based coaching as the foundation of her entire practice. By targeting different areas of our brain and body (cooling our amagudla and limbic systems), we can not only achieve peace moment to moment, but we can actually create habits and practices to benefit our future selves. Maria LOVES practical takeaway, and this one is full of it!

75. Embracing Stillness w/ Yogi Cameron
It’s been centuries since the earth has been asked to come to a “standstill” like it has for this pandemic, and Yogi Cameron argues that that might not be such a bad thing. This unprecedented time will force all of us to confront our own spirit, and as Yogi says, it gives us the chance to decide who we want to be when we come out of this time.
