The High Vibe Life Podcast

Long before I launched this podcast, I knew I wanted to bring the topic Disordered Eating to my platform.  Kathryn Hansen is my guest today and she is the author of ‘Brain Over Binge’  a book that completely transformed my mindset around food.  Kathryn suffered from an Eating Disorder and was able to free herself from this disease by creating her own unique approach. I can promise you that hers is radically different than anything you’ve ever heard before and I can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say. In this episode we chat about her story and how she started out innocently trying to control her weight in high school, a time when we all feel self-conscious about our bodies. Over time, simple diets gave way to restricted eating which became a habit and eventually an uncontrollable desire to binge. When therapy failed to help her with her binge eating she decided to start digging into the neuroscience behind how the brain works and what she could do to harness that power of her brain to essentially rewire those habits and control the urges. Through years of research and trial + error she finally found lasting succcess and was able to beat the binge and decided to write a book to help others who were struggling. I discovered her book nearly a decade ago when I was also struggling with an ED and it totally shifted my mindset and changed my life. If you or someone you know is struggling with an ED please listen to this episode and visit her website to purchase her book or download her FREE audiobook.

I love these solo episodes because they give me a chance to really reflect on the things that have had a powerful impact on my life and share them with YOU.     On today’s show I go back to a time in my life when I desperately wanted a third child.  When I was going through the heartbreak and anger that comes with infertility it felt like one of the darkest times in my life but I now realize what an absolute gift it was to experience that pain and how it’s made me more empathetic towards the millions of other women who have walked this lonely road.    But here’s the bright side: You Already Have What You Want.  Read that again.  For me, the desire for another child was really just rooted in the desire for more family, more intimacy,  and more love in my life. And you know what?  I already had that. I had the power to fulfill that desire within me the entire time.  How, you ask? Well, you’ll have to tune in to find out.  There are so many take aways in this short and sweet episode that I hope will speak to you and allow you to see that while goals and aspirations are 100% my jam...appreciating and cherishing what you already have is equally as important.       RISE UP WITH US!!!   Click here for The Rise Up Course Click here for the Rise Up Planner   Keep your suggestions coming by emailing me at Moirakucaba8@gmail.com 📧

What do we do when we feel directionless? In the beginning of 2021 I was recognized as the top coach in my company.  This was a goal that I had worked towards every. single. day. for six years! Despite my success I felt….flat.    So what happens when we want to dig ourselves out of a funk??  If you need a little direction like I did, you’re in luck.   In this episode I share 4 TANGIBLE steps to get you out of that rut and onto your next big goal.   1. Identify what lights you up.   2. Set a time bound goal.   3. Write out 3 action steps you can take immediately!!   4. Surround yourself with people that will hold you accountable and call you out.     One of the ways I decided to shake things up was by setting a goal for myself that had absolutely nothing to do with professional success.  I decided that I wanted to surf 100 waves. This goal lead to me spontaneously book a trip to Costa Rica for me and my daughter.  It was on that trip that I surfed my 100th wave and I will forever remeber the view from my board. This moment is now one of my greatest memories and such a beautiful reminder to see the gift in the struggle.   If you’re at a spot in your life thats low, use it.  It truly can be the biggest gift.     Got a suggestion for a guest?  Drop it in an email or just share your favorite moment of a recent episode by emailing Moira at Moirakucaba8@gmail.com     RISE UP WITH US!!!   Click here for The Rise Up Course Click here for the Rise Up Planner

My guest today is Chris Singleton.  Chris is a former minor league baseball player who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. He has since become a nationally renowned speaker who speaks on the message of resilience, forgiveness and unity.    After Chris lost his mother in the 2015 Mother Emanuel Church Tragedy, he found that the only way for him to move forward was to no longer harbor his pain but to use it to help others and to promote unity and forgiveness.  This conversation was heavy and emotional but it’s such a beautiful reminder that we can all use especially in light of the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde.    As we all grapple with how to make a difference and how to have these difficult conversations, Chris’ wisdom and powerful message are one that I know we all need to hear.     Chris speaks on his early life, what happened after he lost his mother and how he delivers his message of unity to middle schoolers and C-suite executives alike.     Find out more about Chris by going to: https://www.chrissingleton.com       RISE UP WITH US!!!   Click here for The Rise Up Course Click here for the Rise Up Planner   Keep your suggestions coming by emailing me at Moirakucaba8@gmail.com

Whether you want to call to it God or The Universe or whatever, I believe that we are constantly being guided by this still small voice within and when you tune in and listen to the whisper your life starts to open up in ways that are nothing short of magical.     On this show I share a few personal stories about times that I have “listened to the whisper” and how dramatically these “whispers” have shaped my life.     When I was at the depths of my struggle with alcohol I “listened to the whisper” and found myself being called to become a Pilates instructor even though I had never even taken a Pilates class.   At the time it seemed so random but this became the foundation for so many things that have gotten me to where I am today. I know, it sounds crazy but trust me, listening to that whisper even when your head can't make sense of it has taken me on the most amazing journey.   It is my hope that hearing my stories in today’s episode will inspire you to tune in and listen to that little whisper in your own life and watch the magic unfold.     RISE UP WITH US!!!   Click here for The Rise Up Course Click here for the Rise Up Planner
