Wellness Matters (Heather Caroccio)

This week's podcast is a solo episode with...wait for it...YOURS TRULY. I watched a video recently with thought leader Caroline Myss. I also read one of her books years ago called Anatomy Of The Spirit. After watching the video (and thinking back to her book) I realized I'd been right to think that 'deep knowing' was real because I always knew there was a correlation between our emotions and physical body. I highly recommend reading Caroline's book.

The video I watched by Caroline was about ways we lose our power (energy) throughout our day. This is a topic I have thought about many times and even did blog posts regarding this loss of power. Finally, after watching this video I decided to sit down and do some of her recommendations which I have listed below. 

There were three main questions I asked myself and I encourage you to do the same.

What are 3 to 5 addictions you have? We all have them, they may not be the typical ones you think of like alcohol or drugs but more things like attention, the need to be right, worrying, etc. Once you identify your addictions go deeper and ask why you are addicted to them. What are you getting out of them?

What are your cravings (3 to 5)? What stories have you been telling yourself and others that keep dragging you down but you tell them anyway, and why do you tell them?

What do you feel entitled to (3 to 5)? This list got interesting for me (ha ha). If you feel entitled to fairness, for example, then go deeper and find out who you think you should get that fairness from? Are there specific people or group of people?

If you are curious about what acupuncture is and what it can do for you then this episode is for you! Lauren Kelly from Geneseo Acupuncture helps the listener understand everything from what a typical session looks like to how long this ancient practice has been around.  This podcast is full of great information so sit back, relax and enjoy!  

My last podcast was a 'solo' effort which I talked about my findings after listening to a Bruce Lipton lecture. Did you know we operate 95% of our day in the subconscious mind which is just mainly habits that we picked up from birth to age seven. The other 5% of our day is operating in the conscious mind, where we solve problems and can be more intentional with each moment. I don't know about you but I wan't to increase that 5%!

This week's podcast was talking with the Director of Psych-K Centre International, Duccio Locati, about his healing journey and practice and how he knew becoming a psych-k facilitator was his life's calling. Psych-k is a modality that helps a person re-write some of their limiting subconscious stories and make better ones. Some main topics I cover:

-What is psych-k and how can it help people?

-How the founder of psych-k Rob Williams brought this healing about.

-Breaking down the parts of psych-k in workshops.

-Understanding the conscious, subconscious, and super-conscious brain.

-What the term 'whole brain state' means and how we install this new conscious belief.

This week I did another solo podcast. I kept getting "downloads" around helping others take back more of their power so they could feel more balanced and calm. In this podcast, I share a few ideas and tricks I have collected over the years to help me stay aligned and in flow. You will learn four different ideas that I explain in great detail throughout the podcast. I will talk about:

-The zoom-out method

-Becoming your own paleontologist (Sounds funny but I explain this during the podcast)

-Talk to yourself like you would a child

- 'Peace begins with you' method

These are seemingly simple ideas. When you listen to the podcast you will think '...oh yeah, I can do that' but once the podcast is over, the work has to be done. You have to put the methods into effect to reap the benefits. One day at a time, one reminder at a time. If you stick with it you will be stunned by the power you gain over your life.

For this week's episode I spoke with Angela Bixby. Living beyond the five senses has always been a part of how Angela sees and approaches the world. 

She is a certified psychic medium with the American Federation of Certified Psychics and Mediums, which has furthered her innate skills. While Angela channels answers to client questions during each session, her passion is teaching people to connect to their own intuition. Through her Conscious Psychic Program, she mentors people through their own spiritual awakening process, with the common thread of psychic development. Angela’s teaching style draws upon her own experiences, as well as those of the thousands of clients and students with whom she has had the honor of working with and teaching. An Amazon International Best Selling Published Author, Angela’s contribution to Intuitive - Speaking Her Truth is inspiring people around the world.

We had a blast talking about our journeys with the unseen world and how we started to trust our intuition. If you are confused about what your 'spidey senses' are or how to strengthen them then this podcast is for you! 

Some main topics we covered:

-How you may be receiving intuitive "downloads."

-Understanding the most common psychic "clairs." 

-Understanding what an empath is.

-How theses concepts can be part of your parenting with your children.

-Ways you can strengthen your intuition.

The topic of spirituality has been gaining momentum for quite some time. So many conversations have been had on different spiritual journies, how people are awakening, and the light and breezy side of going inward. In this episode, Melanie and I discuss some of the not-so-popular and heavier aspects of spirituality. This is not to deter anyone from embarking on their spiritual path but to give a full picture of the work ahead. Each layer that has been exposed makes future work more manageable. This episode goes deep and you will NOT want to miss it!

I had an absolute blast meeting with my friend Angela Lundy this past week! Angela is pursuing a lifelong journey to align with purpose. She used Human Design, Astrology, and Gene keys on herself to gain a really deep understanding of who she is and what she came here to do. In Human Design she is a 6/2 Manifesting Generator, allowing her to live a multi passionate life doing things she loves. Angela would consider herself a life-long learner and more of a guide than a coach. She is leading people through a journey to re-write the stories they tell themselves in order to uncover their true genius.

We have great chemistry together and talked about a lot of different ideas and topics. We even dropped a special announcement in the podcast🙌. Happy listening! Some main topics I cover:

-Talking about the importance of doing multiple self-awareness modalities, i.e. astrology, human design, and gene keys. How they build off each other to give you a better picture.

-Explaining the Solar Return chart readings and why it's so helpful.

-Solar Return is the theme of your birth year. So essentially your next birthday will start that year's theme until your next birthday.

-What are the gene keys and how to find a free reading online.

-Understanding what the North and South Nodes are.

-Understanding that we are powerful beings and we don't have to play the victim. We have the capability to change our lives

-One of Angela's favorite books on dealing with anxiety called  Radical Acceptance  by Tara Brach.

For this week's episode I spoke with clinical mental health therapist and self-love coach Karel Chan. Karel has over ten years of experience and practice as a clinical mental health therapist and self-love/mindfulness coach. She spent the first 20 years of adulthood struggling to find happiness in the “right” things: a career, a husband, a family, a home. Regardless of what she had or was still trying to find, she continued to feel empty, disconnected, and directionless. When she finally learned how to give deep, unconditional love to all parts of herself and allow those parts to receive that love, something in her broke open and she found lasting joy, peace, and contentment in herself and her life. She's seen firsthand the power of mindfulness, compassion, and self-love in making lasting change. Now she helps other women heal their relationships with themselves through inner-child work and authentic self-love, helping them live wholeheartedly and with more confidence. 

Some main topics we covered:

-What being "under-mothered" means.

-How that effects us later in life.

- The Emotionally Absent Mother  by Jasmin Lee Cori

-What inner-child work is and examples of how to do it.

-Ways to work with Karel.

Our thoughts and beliefs create our reality. What happens when our thought patterns are old and outdated and no longer serve us? Theta Healer Selen Aktar explains how connecting with the theta brainwave allows a person to re-write the outdated story to something more positive with her facilitation. This work has the ability to create very quick and efficient results. The client has full control over the process and the change only happens when they allow it. Selen works from a place of love and light and it shines through the entire podcast. She is so knowledgeable and has such a passion to help the wellbeing of others. You can find Selen on her website selenaktar.com as well as on IG (@selen.o.aktar) and FB. 

In this podcast I sit down with Rick Fish, who not only is a serial entrepreneur but also happens to also be my father. We discuss what led him down the road to becoming an entrepreneur and why he never looked back. Our career is such a huge part of our wellness which is why having this insightful conversation was so important. If you're feeling like starting your own business or you just want to hear the story of how one man created several successful business then this podcast is for you.

Are you looking to understand yourself and the world around you better? If so, this podcast is definitely for you. I sat down with the talented Dawn Daggs from The Purple Door (www.purpledoorsoulsource.com) who has been practicing numerology for many years as well as other mystical practices. She helped me truly understand how this ancient practice can be the key to understanding the person you are today as well as those around you. Dawn's fun personality shines through to make this podcast not only informative but super entertaining as well.

If you are looking to understand and embrace a new healing tool then this podcast is for you! Tara Schulenberg, from Elevate the Globe, and I talked all about her journey with Kundalini yoga which lead her into the business she runs with her partner, Britt Deanda. Together they have created many offerings to help inspire and strengthen the lives of thousands. Tara talks in-depth about where Elevate the Globe is going next, which includes an app for anyone to gain access to their knowledgeable teachings.

She's back!!! In this week's episode Angela Lundy and I sat down to talk all about the things that are lighting us up at the moment! To stay on track we split each topic into 15 minute segments so we didn't over-talk on a topic...yes we needed to have a time limit haha. If you didn't listen to my last podcast with Angela, here is a brief bio of all her amazingness🥰.

Some main topics we covered:

-The role chakras and the auric field play on each person.

-​The Chakras And The Human Energy Fields​ By Shafica Karagulla, M.D. and Dora Van Gelder Kunz

-How emotions can get trapped in the auric field.

-How biofield tuning helps to rid the body of trapped emotions.

-What ​biofield tuning​ is.

-Angela's take on the ​sonic slider​. Users report more energy, greater well-being, weight loss, increased muscle definition, smoother skin, reduced pain, improved circulation, and more. 

-What is an empath and how to recognize empathic children.

-​My take on the book Empath Children: How to Help a Highly Sensitive Child Thrive and Stop Feeling Overwhelmed​ by Judy Dyer

-Angela's July astrological event update. She talks about the north and south node shifts. Every 18 months this shift occurs and it's happening this month on the 17th.

-Angela's journal prompts to consider with this node shift...

Journal Prompts:

Aries North Node- On July 17th the Nodes change signs from Taurus to Aries. Moving forward, how can you incorporate the themes of balance and leadership? How can you prioritize yourself and your own goals? What are your personal desires for the next 18 months? 

Looking back on the last time that the North Node was in Aries Dec 2004-June 2006. What were the themes going on? How can you be more mindful of this Aries North Node? Look at the halfway point when the North Node was in Libra pushing us to more of a path towards doing for others Feb 2014-Nov 2015.

I am so pleased to be sending out this new podcast featuring Jamuna Rosner (@jamunarosner)! I had a very insightful conversation with Jamuna where we talked about what led her to become a trauma-informed coach and eventually create her program, Transcend. Jamuna started her work over ten years ago by supporting women dealing with addiction and codependency and has since grown into coaching other coaches, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders through their own traumas to create massive breakthroughs.

One of my favorite parts of the conversation was breaking down what exactly trauma is and how we all can take steps to help release it. We talked about inner-child work and how everyone could benefit from a closer look into their past.

Where do I begin with this amazingly talented woman?! Tina Zion is a fourth generation psychic medium, specializing in medical intuition and teaching it internationally.

She has worked in the mental health field as a registered nurse with a national board specialty certification in mental health nursing from the American Nurses' Credentialing Association.

Tina is a Gestalt trained counselor, graduating from the Indianapolis Gestalt Institute in 1997. She received her certification in clinical hypnotherapy from the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners in 1985 and is was certified for many years through the Michael Newton Institute.

Tina has written several books and teaches people all around the globe on how to receive messages from one's intuition and spirit. Here are some of the concepts you will learn from listening to this podcast:

-How our thoughts affect our health

-How we can get in control of our thoughts

-How certain emotions congregate in certain parts of the body

This week I am posting my newest podcast with the wonderful Gungor Buzot! She is a woman who has lived many lives and it was an extreme pleasure to be able to talk one on one with her. Her story is one of struggle but she ultimately found a way to her happiness. She'd been unwell essentially her entire life and by the time she was 61, she'd had 20 different surgeries in an attempt to 'heal' her. After the last unsuccessful surgery she felt she had endured enough and wanted to end the suffering. Gungor tried to convince her two grown children that euthanizing her was the only logical alternative but, thankfully, she was wrong!

This podcast will give you the exact steps she took to find another way. Here's a hint...she was introduced to the amazing Betsey Beaven from last week's podcast and, as they say, the rest is history.

I am So excited to post this insightful podcast with wellness educator, Lauren Roxburgh! She is changing the face of wellness and body movement with each video she makes. She integrates the mind and body components to help each person find the wholeness journey they are actually searching for. Listen to her many insights as well as all her up and coming additions to The Aligned Life Studio.

Death is something that plagues all walks of life. It is something we will all face at some point and yet it's not something that gets a lot of "air" time. I guess is because we all have our own ideas about it and we don't want to make anyone uncomfortable so we stay silent on the subject. However, what if we did start sharing our thoughts and views more often? Would we reduce some fear around it?

I came across the nonprofit organization INELDA International End-Of-Life Doula Association from the back of a book I was reading. I became very interested in this organization and wanted to know what exactly an end-of-life doula was. After some email exchanges, I was put in touch with Nicole Heidbreder.

In this podcast, Nicole explained a life pattern that seemed to be following her into her calling of becoming an end-of-life doula. Her personal story is very insightful and interesting. Not only is Nicole an end-of-life doula but she is also a birth doula. She gets to witness life in both of its extremes, life, and death. She goes deep into explaining exactly what an end-of-life doula is and how it differs from hospice care, who can benefit from their care, how to become a doula through INELDA, and then how to start networking. I strongly urge you to listen to this podcast to gain a little more perspective on the end-of-life topic.

Nicole was able to eloquently explain her thoughts on the end of life and the closeness she gains with the families she works with. By presenting her career path she truly is "changing the face of dying."

To find a doula near you or if you would like to take part in their training program to become a doula you can visit them on the web at  inelda.org .

You can find Nicole on the INELDA website or follow her on Instagram @gracefulfusionofbirthanddeath.

This week I brought back my bestie, Melanie Esperon, from  Reikiroomsandiego.com . I absolutely love having her on because her energy is SO fun and she is very wise...a great combo for sure! This episode is all about taking back your sovereignty (the ability to choose the direction of one's own life, and being the exclusive authority over one's own body and mind...aka...freedom).

Mel and I discuss times in our lives when we knew there was no other option than to take back our power. It is so easy to fall pray to others' opinions, different agencies ( government, education, medical system, social media etc) and push our own thoughts to the side to be agreeable. Once you know what to look out for or what feelings come up for you, it is easier to recognize.

We also go over ways to start to take your power back and claim your life. It won't happen overnight but implementing some of these steps a little at a time can make quite a change. Some examples are:

-Balancing the masculine and feminine or right and left brain

-Being able to accept failure-learning resilience 

-Stop blaming others

-Recognizing the way you see the world isn't how the world really is

-Dive into something that feels uncomfortable without judgement 

-Start listening to your thoughts

Of course we go into much more detail about these suggestions to explain how you can integrate them into your life. If you'd like to follow Mel on IG (and I highly recommend you do❤️) you can do so by searching @reikiroomsd.

I had the privilege to have a very open and real conversation with Kevin Hines! In an attempt to take his own life, Kevin jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge one fateful day in 2000. By the grace of God his life was saved and he has spent the last two decades going around the world speaking to countless people explaining why they should always choose life. Through this experience he has become a keynote speaker, award winning filmmaker, best selling author and host to his own podcast. He and his team are saving lives and educating so many every single day. This is a powerful podcast, one that I hope you will share with anyone you think might be going through a tough period in their life because there is always hope! 

When I think of wellness there are so many components that come to mind. One major part of wellness is reflecting. We can reflect on how we handled a situation, reflect on a week that went by or, in this case, a full year. One powerful way to reflect is through journal writing. Simply write a prompt at the top of your paper and let your hand do the rest. Below are some journal prompts I used that I found on Instagram (Google 'journal prompts' and you'll find TONS!). 

What was my theme of this past year?

What are some lessons I learned?

How did I surprise myself by how I showed up to the challenges life presented?

What am I most proud of?

What am I ready to let go of?

What is my intention moving forward for 2023?

Listen to my latest podcast, entitled 'My Reflections from 2022', and hopefully it will inspire you to start writing today!

This week's episode I spoke with Dr. Elizabeth Scott. She is an author, wellness and ADHD coach, workshop leader, educator, and award-winning blogger on stress management, positive psychology, relationships, and emotional well-being. She has a PhD in psychology, a master's degree in counseling, extensive education in coaching, and is an enthusiastic wife and mom of two. She writes a weekly newsletter and offers a Daily Piece of Peace message as well.

Elizabeth was so much fun to talk with and gave a lot of insight into the mind and how to be present in life. Her passion for helping people and for living a well rounded life was inspiring and inviting.

Some main topics we covered:

-The idea of mindfulness

-Ways to re-wire stories in your mind when ruminating 

-Concepts of Elizabeth's book  8 Keys to Stress Management 

-The importance of having faith in something bigger than you

I had such an insightful conversation with Steven Noack ( trinityquantumheath.com ) a few weeks ago I absolutely had to have him on the podcast again to go a little deeper...so deeper we went! 

After having his NDE when he was a child, Steven spent a good amount of time trying to block out all the information he learned when he was unconscious. When he became an adult he realized he couldn't continue to "forget" what he knew down in his soul.

In this podcast we talk a lot about topics that aren't often discussed in the mainstream today. We talk about the quantum field, vibrations, energy, and so much more. If these are all new concepts to you I encourage you to listen and start to become curious. It's all a very fascinating rabbit hole to go down.😃

I absolutely love doing podcasts because I get to learn so much from so many people! This week's podcast was no different. I got to chat with a new friend about her career, health, and ways she is healing. Richelle Troutman was an RN for 22 years before she had to resign because of her failing health. She was first diagnosed with kidney cancer and, to make matters worse, the list of illnesses and ailments kept growing and growing. Her poor body just couldn't keep up with a full time work schedule regardless of how much it hurt her to stop doing what she loved which was helping people.

Eight years ago, Richelle realized something drastic had to change and that's when she turned to energy healing as well as spirituality. She learned that all the people she has helped in her life were somehow still energetically attached to her which was literally sucking the life out of her. Her road has not been easy but she has persevered and has always viewed life as a series of lessons to empower her for what is next. This is one podcast you do not want to miss!

Here are the main talking points:

-Richelle's traumatic entrance into the world as well as her traumatic upbringing.

-All the positions and roles she had as a nurse.

-Understanding what energetic cords are and how Richelle had so many attached to her given her job.

-When Richelle knew something had to give. When she knew her health and wellness needed to be top priority in her life.

-Richelle's first experience with energy healing with intuitive guides.

-Understanding the hands of light modality.

-Barbara Brennan ​Hands Of Light​ book. (Click on the green letters to get your copy today!)

-Richelle's first experience at the OMEGA Institute.

-Why releasing tears is so healthy.

-Richelle's experience with a dark entity.

After last Sunday's podcast with my friend Richelle (A Nurse's Battle For Wellness After Years Of Energetic Cord Trauma), I knew I had to do a podcast on protecting your energy. I asked one of my closest and oldest friends to jump on my podcast with me. I was really hoping she would do it because this podcast is different than my normal ones. This one is very interactive. I walked my friend Heather Davy through two other practices I've been working on to raise and clear my energy. Heather hadn't ever tried either of them before so I was able to teach her something new!

I hope you find these practices as helpful as I have. They are both from Tina Zion's books and teachings.

Things we covered in the podcast:

-Understanding that we all take a bath or shower every day to clean off our physical body. It is just as important or even more important to cleanse our auric/energetic field.

-Understanding the human toroidal field. I love it when spirituality and science connect.

-Walking Heather through the practice of "powering up." 

-For your copy of the steps click below:

Tina Zion was back for another insightful conversation! With all the years and experience Tina has accumulated, I knew one podcast would not be enough. Tina is a fourth-generation intuitive medium. She is globally considered an expert in medical intuition, healing methods, and mediumship all while teaching internationally. 

My main goal with Wellness Matters is to help spread healing information to anyone interested and this week's podcast did just that! My conversation with Tina was super exciting because we talked about what she believes to be the 8 main causes people become sick. I hope you find this podcast helpful! 

Things we covered in the podcast:

-What are spirit guides and do we all have them?

-How can we develop a relationship with our guides if we have never communicated before?

-Cause #1- The nonphysical realm. 

-Cause #2- Physical level i.e. prescription drugs, supplements, foods, etc.

-Cause #3- Thoughts and emotions.

-Cause #4- Relationships.

-Cause #5- Current life trauma.

​​-Cause #6- Ancestors.

-Cause #7- Environment.

-Cause #8- Past life trauma.

For this week's podcast, I decided to get a little personal and go solo. After receiving a biofield tuning session, I felt compelled to do this podcast on my own even though it wasn't in my schedule. "All true inner growth will make you feel uncomfortable, disturbed or scared for a little while. It's OK. it will pass." (Anonymous) Is there some inner work you feel called to work on?

Here is this week's Sunday Session with Heather 👇

Mantra of the week: "I love my body and all it does for me." Repeating mantras is a simple and easy way to re-wire our thoughts. The more we speak positively the more we choose to be in a better headspace. One day at a time. 

Mindset Swap

Instead of saying... 'What will everyone think of me?' 

Say this...'I am here to be my authentic self, not worry about what others think.'

Summary

Carla shares her journey from running a restaurant in Argentina to starting her own online business. She discusses the challenges of running a restaurant which lead to burnout and realizing she wanted out of that business and her long-term relationship. We really go deep into understanding her thorough process during this time because most people would have stayed doing what they know. Leaving a five-year relationship was definitely not easy either.

Both of these risky decisions caused her to transition to an online business. Carla explains how she pivoted to creating an Instagram course and the importance of mindset in entrepreneurship. She also emphasizes the personal growth and unpredictability of being an entrepreneur. We talked about how becoming an entrepreneur comes with its own bag of worries including many money blocks that most people have.

Summary

In this week's episode of Wellness Matters, I explore the concept of dying to be reborn. I share my experience with the death card in Tarot and how it represents letting go and making space for new beginnings. I then discussed a powerful cord-cutting ceremony I had with a great friend and the importance of releasing old trauma. 

This led to the idea of being raw and vulnerable, highlighting the universal hurt we all carry within us. No one is exempt from the hurt, we just have different stories around that hurt. I talked about the impact of unresolved childhood trauma and the process of reparenting ourselves to heal our inner child wounds. 

I spoke deeply on the importance of journaling, visualization, and reassurance in the inner work journey. I encourage listeners to embrace the hard work of self-reflection and transformation, and to update their stories and beliefs to align with their growth. I remind the listener that we are not alone in our struggles and that taking responsibility for our own healing is essential. The episode concludes with a call to embrace the concept of dying to be reborn as a new adventure in personal growth.

Takeaways

The death card in Tarot represents letting go and making space for new beginnings.

Cord-cutting ceremonies can be powerful in releasing old trauma and reclaiming our energy.

Being raw and vulnerable allows us to connect with others and realize that we all carry hurt within us.

Unresolved childhood trauma can impact our lives and create triggers that affect our behavior.

Reparenting ourselves and healing our inner child wounds is a crucial part of the inner work journey.

Journaling, visualization, and reassurance can help us explore triggers and memories from our past.

Embracing the hard work of self-reflection and transformation leads to personal growth and healing.

Leaning into loneliness and sadness can paradoxically bring more joy and fulfillment.

Updating our stories and beliefs must align with our growth and create positive change.

Taking responsibility for our own healing and growth is essential, as no one else can save us.

Summary

In this episode of Wellness Matters, I interview Melanie Monaco, a self-love coach and sacred ritual facilitator. Melanie shares her personal journey of struggling with body image and self-love, and how she found healing through spirituality and self-acceptance. She explains how she became a self-love coach and the impact of her work in helping others develop a healthy relationship with their bodies and food. Melanie also discusses her role as a ritual and ceremony facilitator, carrying on the legacy of her great uncle and incorporating indigenous practices into her work. In this conversation, Melanie shares her journey of reclaiming her Indigenous ancestry and it's impact on her family. She discusses the universal elements of 'ceremony' and how she creates ethical and universal rituals. Melanie also explains her guided rituals and morning practices, as well as the framework she uses for ritual facilitation. She talks about her ritual facilitation membership community and her experience teaching others the framework. In this conversation, we emphasize the importance of personal healing in training and the transformational power of healing work. Lastly, we discuss raising conscious children and exploring sacred masculine energy. 

Takeaways

Self-love is a transformative journey that involves accepting and embracing all parts of oneself.

Becoming a self-love coach requires a combination of personal healing, education, and experience in various modalities.

The self-love roadmap, consisting of self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-gratitude, self-care, and self-trust, provides a framework for individuals to cultivate self-love.

The work of a self-love coach has a ripple effect, positively impacting not only clients but also the coaches themselves.

Becoming a ritual and ceremony facilitator involves honoring ancestral practices and finding ways to integrate them into a modern context. Reclaiming Indigenous ancestry can be a powerful and healing journey for individuals and families.

There are universal elements of ceremony that can be incorporated into rituals from various cultures.

Creating ethical and universal rituals involves respecting and honoring the traditions and cultures they come from.

Morning practices and guided rituals can be transformative and help individuals connect with themselves and embody healing messages.

Summary

This week on the Wellness Matters podcast I had a very interesting conversation with Veronica Barragan. Veronica is a holistic therapist, wellness and spiritual counselor, and a certified KRI Kundalini Yoga teacher. She shares her personal journey of spiritual healing and transformation, starting with her introduction to A Course in Miracles during the 2008 real estate meltdown. She then delves into her experiences with psychedelic-assisted therapy in the Amazon jungle and the profound impact it had on her understanding of ancestral lineage and the mother wound. Veronica discussed how Kundalini Yoga became a catalyst for her healing and led her to leave the real estate industry to pursue a career in helping women disrupt generational karmic patterns. The conversation also explores the concepts of karma, epigenetics, and the importance of healing the inner child. She also discusses the power of Kundalini Yoga and meditation in healing trauma and restoring brain functionality. She explains that trauma can shrink the hippocampus, leading to constant stress and a feeling of danger. However, after eight weeks of practicing Kundalini Yoga and meditation, the cognitive function of the brain is restored and the hippocampus grows in size. Veronica emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in disrupting generational karmic patterns and shifting the perception of trauma. She also highlights the significance of authenticity and inner child work in finding one's purpose and experiencing joy.

Takeaways

A personal crisis can be the catalyst for embarking on a spiritual healing journey.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy can provide profound insights and healing, particularly in the context of ancestral lineage and the mother wound.

Kundalini Yoga can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation, helping individuals release addiction, heal relationships, and disrupt generational patterns.

This week on the Wellness Matters podcast I interviewed Aida Garcia-Toledo. She is an environmental toxin educator based in Los Angeles, CA. Aida founded Non-Toxic Munchkin (now called 3 Little Plums) 15 years ago in order to share her expertise and help both families and companies transition to a healthier, safer, more sustainable life...without the added stress. 

In this episode, we discuss the importance of reducing exposure to environmental toxins and making SMALL, manageable changes in daily life. Aida shares her journey of becoming a toxin expert and offers tips for finding non-toxic products. We also discuss the impact of toxins on children's health and the need for stricter standards in the food and beauty industries.

Aida and I discuss the impact of toxins on our health and ways to reduce exposure. We cover topics such as the chemicals in our food, the dangers of flame retardants and PFAS chemicals, the toxins in clothing, and the importance of clean water and air. Aida also provides practical tips for creating a non-toxic lifestyle, such as using water filters, opening windows for fresh air, and choosing non-toxic personal care products. Taking small steps and being aware of the toxins in our environment are tiny ways to make changes.

Takeaways

Reducing exposure to environmental toxins is important for overall health and well-being.

Making small, manageable changes in daily life can have a lasting impact on long-term health.

Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of toxins, and it is important to prioritize their health and reduce their exposure.

There are resources available, such as apps and websites, that can help identify non-toxic products and ingredients.

The food and beauty industries need stricter regulations to ensure the safety of their products. Toxins in our food have increased over time, with the addition of chemicals like plastic and PFAS chemicals.

Reducing exposure to toxins can be achieved by controlling what we bring into our homes, such as food, toys, and personal care products.

Flame retardants and PFAS chemicals are harmful to our health and can be found in furniture, clothing, and household items.

Water filters are essential for reducing exposure to harmful chemicals in drinking water.

Opening windows and using air filters can improve indoor air quality and reduce exposure to toxins.

Choosing organic and non-toxic personal care products can help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.

Summary

In this week's episode of The Wellness Matters podcast I decided to piggy back off of my last podcast about soul contracts. I was on a hike with my dogs recently and received a loud message to help make parents understand that they are doing great and are exactly what their child was looking for. I discuss the concept of soul contracts and how it relates to parenting and explain that soul contracts are agreements made in the soul realm before coming to Earth, where souls choose their parents and the experiences they want to have. I emphasize that parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are, and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing. I also encourage parents to stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be. I remind parents that their children are their teachers and that they signed a contract with them to learn and grow together. At the end of the podcast I announced my upcoming creation of a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.

Takeaways

Children choose their parents and the experiences they want to have through soul contracts.

Parents should understand that their child chose them because of who they are and that they are doing everything they are supposed to be doing.

Parents should stop trying to mold their children into versions of themselves and instead allow them to be who they came here to be.

Children are the teachers of their parents and both parties signed a contract to learn and grow together.

I am creating a soul contract workbook to help people understand their purpose and relationships.

Summary

Trish Mock, founder of Good Psyche, joined me on the Wellness Matters podcast to discuss the use of medicinal plants and fungi for overall well-being. Trish's inspiration comes from her mother, who practices herbalism and traditional Chinese medicine on their regenerative herb farm. We discussed the importance of regenerative farming and its impact on the nutrient content of plants. Trish also shares her personal journey with holistic wellness and the use of psychedelics for mental and emotional health. Trish emphasized the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare and the limitations of the Western healthcare system. Trish shares her journey of finding a gentle and brain-friendly supplement to support her mental health. She discovered the plant Kanna, which has been used for centuries by a tribe in South Africa. Kanna is legal, non-toxic, non-habit forming, and safe. It behaves as an SSRI, or antidepressant, and has numerous benefits for mental, emotional, and physical health. Trish created Good Psyche to make Kanna and other plants more accessible and developed products like Sidekick, a euphoric mouth spray, and Glisten Up, a hydrating facial mist. 

Takeaways

Medicinal plants and fungi can bring balance to the body and have a positive impact on overall quality of life.

Regenerative farming focuses on evaluating each parcel of land and restoring it to a state of homeostasis, resulting in healthier and more nutrient-rich plants.

The Western healthcare system often fails to address the unique needs of women and relies on a profit-driven model.

Psychedelics, when used responsibly, can have positive effects on mental and emotional health, but caution should be exercised and professional guidance is recommended. Kanna is a plant that has been used for centuries by a tribe in South Africa and behaves as an SSRI/antidepressant.

Good Psyche was created to make Kanna more accessible and develop products that promote mental, emotional, and physical health.

Summary

This week on the Wellness Matters Podcast I talked with a new friend, Wendy Richow. We met a few months ago when we were both in Austin, Texas. She happened to listen to an older podcast of mine explaining my ideas on soul contracts. Wendy texted me saying she has similar beliefs and that she knew she chose her alcoholic parents. I was thrilled when she said she would share her story on the podcast because so many of us have traumatic stories from our childhood but, ironically, many don't know they may have had a hand in it!

The conversation was so effortless and went in many directions. We discussed the importance of self-reflection, forgiveness, and not judging others. We also explored the concept of the villain in our lives being the souls that love us the most. I reflected on my own journey of healing and finding balance between masculine and feminine energies. Wendy shared her personal journey of healing and growth, highlighting the role of protection and guidance in her life. There are so many great nuggets in the podcast and I hope it's able to help you reflect on your idea of soul contracts.

Takeaways

The concept of soul contracts suggests that we choose our parents and the challenges we face in order to learn and grow.

Self-reflection and forgiveness are important tools for healing and personal growth.

The people who play the role of the villain in our lives are often the souls that love us the most and are helping us learn important lessons.

Finding balance between masculine and feminine energies is key to emotional well-being.

Judging others and holding onto negative emotions only hinders our own growth and happiness. Balancing masculine and feminine energies is key to finding inner harmony and well-being.

Exploring the concept of soul contracts can provide a deeper understanding of life experiences and relationships.

Conscious effort is required to heal, overcome triggers, and embody higher vibrations.

Connection, kindness, and curiosity can create a more loving and harmonious world.

Self-reflection and journaling can accelerate the healing journey and provide insights into personal growth.

Acknowledging the interconnectedness of all beings and approaching life with curiosity can lead to profound transformations.

Summary

In this week's episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I spoke with Laura Lemmey, a licensed clinical social worker, about her practice and the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. We discuss how EMDR works, its origins, and its effectiveness in treating trauma. We also touch on the importance of embracing change and the role of protector parts in the healing process. In this conversation, we discuss the theme of not feeling good enough and the impact it has on individuals, especially teenagers. We explore the concept of the negativity bias and how it limits our ability to tolerate and believe in good things. Laura also discussed the role of trauma and PTSD in shaping our beliefs and behaviors. Laura explains the benefits of EMDR therapy and the importance of deep, uninterrupted work in the healing process. She emphasized the need for self-exploration and curiosity in order to move towards healing and personal growth.

Takeaways

EMDR therapy uses eye movements to calm the amygdala and reduce fear responses.

EMDR therapy can help individuals who have hit a wall in their healing journey and are looking for additional tools.

Change can be scary, but it is necessary for growth and reaching one's full potential.

Protector parts in the psyche are necessary but can be given new jobs that are more developmentally appropriate. Many people, especially teenagers, struggle with feelings of not being good enough.

The negativity bias is hardwired in our brains and limits our ability to tolerate and believe in good things.

Trauma, both overt and covert, can have a lasting impact on our beliefs and behaviors.

EMDR therapy is an effective approach for healing trauma and changing negative narratives.

Deep, uninterrupted work is essential for meaningful healing and personal growth.

Summary

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I interviewed the talented Gallyahna Aakhen, a soul contract reader. We discussed the concept of soul contracts and how they can help individuals understand their soul's purpose and karmic patterns. Gallyahna shared her personal journey into this work and explains how she decodes a person's name to reveal their soul contract. The conversation also touches on the awakening process, the role of empaths, and the potential for incorporating this knowledge into education. Overall, the episode explores the idea that our souls choose specific experiences and relationships in order to learn and grow. She explains that our souls choose our parents and life experiences to help us fulfill our purpose. Gellyahnah emphasizes the importance of healing and forgiveness in order to open the heart chakra and live in alignment with our true selves.

Gallyahna reads her clients' soul contracts by figuring out the sound frequencies of the person's birth name. It is a way to decode the person's higher self or soul-self's plan for their life. This is a must listen!

Takeaways

Soul contracts are agreements made by our souls before we incarnate, outlining the experiences and lessons we will have in this lifetime.

Soul contract readings involve decoding a person's name to reveal their unique talents, goals, and karmic patterns.

The awakening process often involves deconstructing our lives and questioning societal expectations in order to align with our true selves.

Empaths, like those with the 11-2 soul destiny, are highly sensitive individuals who absorb the emotions and beliefs of others.

Incorporating knowledge of soul contracts into education could help children understand their unique gifts and navigate their emotions more effectively. Our souls choose our parents and life experiences to help us fulfill our purpose

Healing and forgiveness are essential for opening the heart chakra and living in alignment with our true selves

Exploring our childhood interests and passions can guide us in discovering our soul's purpose

Any passion or interest can be monetized with creativity and determination

The podcast concludes with encouraging listeners to embrace change and not be afraid to step outside their comfort zones.

Takeaways

Summary

In this episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I met up with Aypril Porter, a human design life coach and author of the book Parenting the Child You Have. We discussed the importance of living an authentic life and using human design as a tool to understand ourselves and our children. We explore the different energy types in human design (generator, manifesting generator, projector, manifestor, and reflector) and provide parenting tips for each type. Aypril emphasizes the need for parents to understand and honor their child's unique energy type and to create an environment that supports their individual needs. 

In this conversation, Aypril and I discuss the importance of understanding a child's human design chart and how it can help parents better support their children. By doing so, they can give their children the best gift of allowing them to be their authentic selves.

Takeaways

Living an authentic life is essential for avoiding burnout and dissatisfaction.

Human design is a tool that can help us understand ourselves and our children on an energetic level.

Each energy type (generator, manifesting generator, projector, manifestor, reflector) has unique characteristics and needs.

Parents should honor and support their child's energy type, providing the necessary space, invitations, and information.

Understanding and embracing our children's energy types can lead to better relationships and a more harmonious family dynamic. Understanding a child's human design chart can help parents better support their children.

Each child has a unique energy type, defined and undefined centers, and inner authority that influence their behavior and decision-making.

Parents should trust their inner-knowing and parent in a way that is authentic to themselves and their children.

By allowing children to be their authentic selves, parents give them the best gift.

Summary

In this week's episode of The Wellness Matters Podcast, I had a very personal conversation with a dear friend of mine. Her story will touch the hearts of everyone and I'm so lucky she was brave enough to share it with all of us! My guest this week is Seanna Chiara. She wanted to talk about how her life's ups and downs brought her to rock bottom fast. She ended up at a point where her body was self imploding and waking up every day was dreadful. Seanna is now on a mission to tell anyone who will listen that if she can heal her body as well as her mindset then anyone can!

This conversation was near and dear to my heart because I was able to witness the unfolding of her purpose and magic. Sometimes we all need a good story to set us on the right track for our healing. Now she is helping others heal (you can find her website further down) and find their purpose in life. I dare you to listen to this podcast and not feel called to move your healing needle. 

Takeaways

Pain is pain, regardless of whether it is physical or emotional. Seanna's story of self-healing can inspire others who are suffering.

Authenticity and self-love are crucial in the healing process. Embracing our true selves and accepting our flaws can lead to transformation.

Changing our mindset and language around mental health and emotions is essential. Normalizing all emotions and avoiding labels can create a more inclusive and supportive environment.

Soul contracts play a role in personal growth and healing. Understanding that we have chosen our experiences and relationships can shift our perspective and empower us.

Self-healing is possible for anyone, regardless of their background or knowledge of wellness. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Labels can have a significant impact on individuals, especially children, and can limit their potential.

Reclaiming personal power and self-love is essential for healing and personal growth.

Finding one's way of talking to oneself is important, as traditional affirmations may not resonate with everyone.

Exploring alternative healing methods and trusting one's intuition can lead to profound transformation.

Having hope and empowering oneself can create a positive shift in one's life.

Summary

This week on The Wellness Matters Podcast, I had a personal conversation with a long time friend of mine, Ashley Hamilton. I thought it would be nice to have Ashely on because she recently went through a spiritual awakening. I had her ask me some beginner-type questions about spirituality because, honestly, I have been studying and living this life long enough where I sometimes forget what the beginning felt like. It was a fun and interesting way to conduct our conversation. We talked about topics like: 

Why people may hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey. 

The difference between religion and spirituality.

The shadow side of spirituality.

Soul contracts.

Takeaways

The fear of judgment and the belief that one doesn't have enough time are common reasons why people hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey.

Religion and spirituality are different, with spirituality emphasizing going within and reclaiming one's power.

Discernment is key in spirituality, as individuals need to determine what feels right for them and what doesn't.

The spiritual journey involves shadow work and navigating the dark aspects of oneself, but it also leads to growth and transformation.

Finding balance and grounding oneself are important in maintaining a healthy spiritual practice. Soul contracts involve choosing challenging life experiences for the purpose of growth and learning.

During times of emotional intensity, it is important to practice grounding and self-care.

Each person's spiritual journey is unique, and it is not necessary to leave behind loved ones who may not be on the same path.

Introducing mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing, to children can help them regulate their emotions and develop self-awareness.

Allowing each person to follow their own spiritual journey is essential, as everyone has their own unique path.

The conversation emphasizes embracing one's authentic self, overcoming fear, and the transformative power of creativity.

Takeaways

Witchcraft is deeply connected to nature and personal intention.

Coming out of the 'broom closet' can be a long and challenging journey.

Setting intentions is crucial in witchcraft and everyday life.

Cleansing your space is important before performing rituals.

Witchcraft can be practiced with simple, accessible tools.

Fear should not stop you from pursuing your true self.

Writing about what you love can lead to success and fulfillment.

The collective consciousness holds memories of past witch hunts.

I had the privilege to chat with Victoria and Tiffany of the Spirit Mamas! Their infectiously fun and warm personalities made for a wonderful conversation. We talked all about the importance of community, healing the mother wound, and why we need to clear space of things that no longer serve us in order to make room for new loving thoughts and practices. Take some time to listen to this engaging conversation and learn why the Spirit Mamas are such a high-vibration duo.

I had the absolute pleasure to talk with educator Ronald Holt! Ronald has been featured on the Gaia channel and is known for explaining core principles of sacred geometry and its relationship to consciousness. He has held many teaching engagements and retreats over the years. 

In this podcast he does an incredible job explaining his thoughts on probably the most important question we all ask... why are we here? Ronald talks about his early experiences with the things we can't see but know are there and how to tap into our own inner awareness.

We discussed the importance of doing inner healing to help the awakening process as well as taking time to connect to Mother Earth. Ronald gives examples of how he stays in alignment as well as a really helpful trick to try during meditation. He is a wealth of knowledge and I am beyond grateful he took time to have such a wonderful conversation with me😊.

Homeopathy is the second most used medical system in the world and yet I knew nothing about it. Homeopathy is much more prevalent in other countries but is starting to make a comeback here in the United States. In this podcast, you will hear the history, benefits (ZERO side effects being one of the biggest!), and real success stories of this powerful medical system. Betsey Beaven is beyond educated in the field and explains her 30+ years of experience to the listener. Take some time to expand your mind and learn a new safe and effective medical practice by listening to this podcast today!

Another great podcast this week! I got to chat with my dear friend Melanie Esperon again from Reiki Room San Diego. While taking an online class it occurred to me that so many people don't take a chance on themselves because they want to conserve money but, ironically, the thing they wont purchase could make all the difference in their mindset. In that moment I knew I had to do a podcast on the energetics of money and I knew exactly who my guest should be. Melanie gives tons of examples regarding the scarcity mindset she grew up with and how far she has come. She gives tangible examples of how to make this mind shift and understanding that we are all worthy of a great life. Even if you have a lot of abundance, this podcast is still beneficial to hear because abundance is limitless. There are always new ways of looking at and thinking of energy. This is a podcast you will not want to miss.  

This week's podcast was SUPER fun! I was able to have a conversation with the founder of Small Business Moms, Laura Mclean. She is a wife, boy-mom, small town Missouri girl, and a 'multi-passionate' entrepreneur. It is her goal to help other woman do BIG things.

Laura, like many people, started her own business and quickly ran into a number of questions and issues but had no idea where to turn for help. This is how Small Business Moms came to be. She started a Facebook group that has now accrued over 20k members. If anyone has questions about their own business now there is definitely a place to turn for answers. She also has multiple membership options to choose from which I mentioned last week. I'm in Laura's book club and soon the very popular Amy Porterfield will be joining us for a live chat...I'm so excited!

Laura has tons of ideas, a very big reach, and is so down to earth that you can't help but want to be part of her team. You don't have to have a business started to be curious about her ideas. Give this podcast a listen for some positive conversation with great ideas.

This week's podcast is super interesting because I had the pleasure of meeting with a very talented therapist who specializes in hypnotherapy and many other healing modalities. His name is Erick French, MSW, LCSW of One Awareness Counseling and Therapy. However, what I found so fascinating about Erick was how he incorporates the mind-body connection as well as spirituality into his healing sessions!

For this week's episode I decided to do a solo podcast. I was feeling very inspired after listening to a lecture Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. gave several years ago. If you don't know who Bruce Lipton is, he is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. He is a stem cell biologist, author, and guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows.

Some main topics I cover:

-The experiment that changed everything.

-Understanding that our cells don't dictate us, rather our environment does (our mind.)

-The difference between the conscious and subconscious brain.

-How the years birth through six effect us through adulthood.

-Easy to understand examples of how we can avoid being victims in our own lives.

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole recently and I came across a video about a man named Steve Noack and his near-death experience. His story intrigued me so much that I emailed him right away! I knew his story could change so many people's views about what comes after death.

Steve is a psychic and zero-point quantum energy practitioner. A Quantum Healer has the ability to create a high frequency of life-force energy and then use that energy to place a field of high energy around an area of pain, stress, inflammation, or disease. This process is understood to amplify the body’s natural healing ability.

My conversation with Steve is one you DO NOT want to miss. He is full of so many useful insights and ways of creating peace in your life. I encourage you to learn more about Steve by checking out his website  trinityquantumhealth.com .

This week's episode was long overdue. I have been very curious about hormones and how they play a huge role in our lives. I had the pleasure of chatting with hormone coach Kathy Fritz. She helps perimenopausal and menopausal women get relief from their hormonal symptoms like insomnia, weight gain, and hot flashes. Her mission is to help women figure out what is best for their individual body when sifting through the sea of information that is available via the Internet.

Some main topics we covered:

Misconceptions around midlife

True signs of perimenopause and what it actually is

Ways to help alleviate sysptoms 

The book I referenced in the podcast was  The Perimenopause Solution

I had the pleasure to connect with a woman named Eliza Schecter. She is an amazing woman who came on my podcast to bravely share her story with addiction. I instantly felt connected to Eliza because her journey made me realize that we all fight forms of addiction everyday in the form of food, social media, exercise, sugar, and SO much more. Addiction can affect anyone from any corner of the globe and from any walk of life. 

Eliza goes deep into her childhood explaining her loneliness and lack of getting attention from those around her. Her struggles with being seen by her family went on for years and eventually led down a dark path. In this podcast Eliza shares:

-How she went from abusing alcohol and then on to drugs

-How she became homeless

-Her number one reason for staying clean today

-Her hopes and dreams for the future

Eliza has started a community on Facebook called 'The Recovery Project.' Anyone can join and get her inspirational stories and reminders of staying clean and living a life of peace and happiness. Eliza's story is one that will stick with me forever and remind me that anyone can slip, but getting back up is always possible.
