EP 079: SOLO JAM SESSION: WHEN “GOOD VIBES” BECOME “GOOD LIES”
Today on the podcast I am doing a solo jam and I’m talking about this whole concept that we see in the personal development industry and in the self-help world. "Good Vibes Only" perpetuates this idea that we should only be positive all the time which is truly stopping us from growing. And guess what? The growth is in the shadow, the growth is in the darkness, the growth is in the entire spectrum of emotionality, not just a fragment of it. So in this episode I walk you through how to truly extract what is so valuable and makes us human. If you enjoy this episode, I would so appreciate if you hop on over I over and give it a review! Let me know if you like it and also I would love to hear what you want me to do so episodes on. That would be so helpful for me. I love you and I hope you enjoy this episode. In this episode, I share: Releasing the ‘everything is awesome’ mask. The importance of acknowledging our darkness and accepting it. Going with the flow of life and being unattached to the outcome. Living in the moment and understanding our plans may shift. Why the "good vibes only" slogan is bs.

When I say that, I don't mean you have to have a huge business for this conversation to be highly valuable because the things that we extract are still applicable even if you're at the earlier stages of the journey or earlier stages of entrepreneurship. This is a conversation that I would have loved to have listened to at the very rid of the gate, as I was becoming an entrepreneur and starting my first wellness coaching business. He is such a genius when it comes to business. I'm just so highly I just respect him so much for how he runs his business, how he operates himself, how he takes such high levels of emotional responsibility in his personal life, which of course then transitions into his business.

EP 077: SOLO JAM SESSION: HOW TO STOP SELF-SABOTAGE
I was running one of the Hungry for Happiness retreats here in San Diego and the whole topic of self-sabotage was hot tamales! So, I wanted to bring some of that onto the podcast and give you some insight into that because I feel we just love to sabotage ourselves. But here’s the thing, we don’t understand why we’re doing it. We don’t understand how it happens; we just do it. Then we feel like we’re worthless, weak, and we have no willpower and that’s actually not the case. In this episode, I’m going to be talking about why self sabotage happens in the first place, how to prevent it from happening, how we can get over having the fraud complex, how we can get over things like not being where we’re at, yet, and how to embody the frequency to attract what we want. In this episode, I share: Why we sabotage ourselves and how to prevent it from happening. How to move through the imposter syndrome. How to embody the frequency to attract what we want.

Through the way you Move, Breathe and Think, Kirsten creates a space for women to explore their senses, self, reduce stress and take ownership of their feminine expression, while, exploring the dynamics of the masculine and feminine in life, love and sensuality. In this episode, Kirsten shares: What it truly means to be feminine and how to embrace all shades of our femininity.

Today on the show I have Heather and Timmi from Energy Muse. This episode is for my woo woos, alright. This episode is not going to resonate with everyone because everyone isn’t into crystals, but maybe if you have like one toe in the crystal land, listen up. I was really interested for myself of how other people use crystals because sometimes I’d think, “Oh people buy crystals because they’re just trying to be spiritual #ultraspiritual,” but it was really beautiful how these women, who’ve been into crystals before crystals were cool, educate people, demystify the concept of crystals, and give us simple examples of how to use crystals for results.

In this episode we talked about how to actually increase our bodies’ to the frequency of that worth where we know we can attract everything that we desire and why investing in ourselves is one of the bravest things we can possibly do. I remember going back to when I first started Hungry for Happiness. I hired a business coach that cost more money than I made that month and I so I went into a deficit month after month after month, and the only thing I could bet on was myself.

It was such a powerful, powerful part of my life. We talked about connecting to our subconscious and really speaking to different parts of ourselves. I love this kind of work where we can really understand that even with with an inner child we have our 3 year old child that has its needs, we have our 9 year old, our 14 year, we have all of these different parts of us. We have our inner child, our evolved woman, our mind, our intellect. There’s so many parts of our system that’s communicating to us at various times and so we really go into how to listen, how to observe, and how to honor. About Clara and Kylee Clara + Kylee are both coaches on a mission to change the way women see themselves. Their mission in life and in their podcast, the Love Rising Podcast, is to help women wake up to the love inside of themselves through nourishing food, positive mindset, emotional fitness, and spiritual connection.

In this episode, Clara and Kylee share: Practicing self-worth and feeling deserving of the life we want. Why investing in ourselves is the most brave, healing thing we can do. The importance of making time for things that truly make you happy. Connecting to our subconscious and speaking to the different parts of ourselves. Uncovering subconscious blocks in our systems.

EP 072: Discovering and Healing Protectors with Andrew DeGregorio
This episode is very, very special to me. I had the honor of going to visit Andrew in his beautiful center in California here, and it's so incredible. I just feel so excited about sharing him with you because he is such a special person to me. I've been working with Andrew for about 2 years now, working on energy work. He is such a talented healer. What Andrew does, I can’t even explain it. He’s able to clear energy, move energy, really understand patterns and attachment, and really getting to the root of why we do what we do and why we are stuck in these behaviors and patterns that aren't serving us. He is just an absolute wizard. In this episode, we talked about how to truly access energy in our bodies, which is something that I know we talked about a lot about on the show, but the way that Andrew frames it is so beautiful and really allows us to dig into the part of us that feels calm, and feels safe. So Andrew had a near-death experience which really let him into this whole body of work. He didn't wake up one day, deciding to do this work. He was actually comedian. One day, he was surfing and he got smoked in the head with a surfboard, and he had a spiritual awakening. It's just such a beautiful story. He's such a grounded individual yet has this power to just heal, influence, and just be such a leader for oneness and wholeness. About Andrew At the age of 32, a surfboard bashed into Andrew’s head when he was out surfing one day. He was left unconscious in the ocean until a stranger pulled him out and saved his life. Andrew was never the same again. Andrew began to question his identity. He became incredibly present to the world in a way he never experienced before. Andrew took it upon himself to dive deep into healing and discovered his purpose. In this episode, Andrew shares: Learning to access safety in our bodies, so we can use it when fear arises within us. How Andrew’s near death experience led him to become a healer. How our childhood protectors have positive and negative impacts on our adult life. How to acknowledge our protectors so they don’t control our experience. How shifting our perception allows us to shift our energy. The difference between true discernment and being in resistance. Being intentional and intuitive with the types of coaches and healers you decide to work with. You can find more of Andrew at: Website | Instagram | Facebook
