The Pursuit of Happiness

I get to talk with one of the best dating and relationship coaches in the country, Kait Warman. Kait is also the founder of Heart of Dating, author, speaker and obviously an incredible entrepreneur.  In this episode we talk about rejection. Something we all deal with at different times and in different ways and in her brand new book “Thank You for Rejecting Me” she goes over the many ways she’s been rejected in life and gives us the tools to deal with it properly when it happens to us, because it will. We also dive into what she looks for when first meeting/dating someone and how mindset plays such a critical role in online dating. She gives such great advice in this area. Anyone who has or is dating online these days knows the struggle. There is so much great content and advice in this episode, it’s jam packed from start to finish. Get the book!

Just a quick episode for the 2020 finale on how just getting started on my podcast, which I delayed for years, has changed my life and what I've learned. Sometimes you just have to jump right in and you'll figure out it along the way, it's worth it!

A fascinating conversation with Michelle Belanger, a psychic medium, occult expert and author, known for her appearances on Paranormal State and Portals to Hell. We talk about when she realized she had the gift of seeing and communicating with spirits as well as how she perceives them. Michelle explains on what happens to us and our loved ones and our beloved pets after we pass, and why some of us don’t “cross over.” We go behind the scenes on her appearances on paranormal television shows and how they are filmed and her process of being blind folded when doing walkthroughs. She lists of some of the most haunted places she's ever been, including her experiences with demons, what they are and witnessing an exorcism. There is so much more that we packed into this episode, you'll have to listen to believe it. It's truly mind blowing. 

This episode is loaded with knowledge, facts and amazing advice from Canine Behavior Consultant, Sara Ondrako. She has so much great information to share about dogs of all ages with all issues.

From start to finish, this episode has so much great information for any dog owner or anyone soon bringing home a dog to join their family!

A really fun and informative episode with Melissa Verhelst, the owner of the celebrity dogs Drogon and Stannis. We talk not only about the adventures they've taken, but what they have to consider and prepare before taking trips with them. Everything from how they plan, choosing places to visit, what they need to bring and what they've learned along the way. Melissa talks about the brands and products that work well with her dogs, from the collars, leashes, food and treats. She explains how traveling with them got her into photography and how she gets them to be so photogenic without a harness and leash. We even get into how the instagram account started and how it blew up to help their dogs become such celebrities. 

Such an enlightening episode with mental health expert, Dr. Nicole Cain. We get really deep in this episode, including our personal time capsules, nostalgia, trauma events, grieving and guilt. We even touch on supplements, float tanks and dreams. I get a bit vulnerable as I go over my recent personal experience with my loss of my best friend, Koda, to help others relate. Dr. Cain helps so many people on a daily basis with her practice and her own personal information she shares on her website and podcast. 

Just being vulnerable on this episode. I had to say good-bye to my best friend, my siberian husky Koda and I'm still extremely sad and learning how to grieve. I just picked up the mic, shared my thoughts and feelings, was vulnerable in the hopes of helping others through their hard times. Life is certainly not all happy moments and sunshine, and this one hit me as hard as anything could. In dedication to my best friend. I love you and miss you.
