What IS breathwork and WHY is it important for us to start implementing in our daily lives? It may not be what you think it is.
This episode, I get to sit down with Sam Kabert to dive into his journey to finding breathwork and go even deeper into what breathwork is, why we ALL should be adding this into our lives, and how even the slight awareness of our breath can impact us drastically.
Sam is releasing his sixth book, Overcoming the Overwhelm, where he shares his 6 step BREATH process. During this episode, he explains the overarching concept of this process. So if you are ready to learn more and start to take action, listen in to the episode and learn more about Sam below!

My mom shared an amazing video that inspired this episode today. Watch the video HERE and share your thoughts with me on Instagram or via email below!
I don't know about anyone else, but life has been lifing lately (I know not a word!). For the first time, I have started making decisions for ME, what I want to doing, what makes me happy, excited, feel purpose, etc.
For too long, I lived my life doing what everyone else thought and told me to do. Then, I started asking myself the question, what could I be doing to make me happy?
Now it is your turn, listen in to get motivated to start going after your dreams and YOUR ultimate happiness!

*PARDON THE SOUND QUALITY ON THIS EPISODE*
This episode was inspired during my trip to visit my sister in Europe. It was the first time in a long time, I disconnected for longer than 3 days. The question that came up for me throughout the week, "What have I been missing around me because of my phone, social media, worried/stressed thoughts?"
When you take the time to put your phone down and be present in the moment, it is amazing to see what is around you. Listen in to this episode to hear a little about what I came to realize I have been missing, and for you to start thinking about what in your life you could be missing as well!

Bringing you a solo episode today opening up about my experience in Oregon for my VIP experience where the importance of incorporating stillness into my life was made very apparent.
As a high achieving woman, and I bet you can relate, the idea of being still for even 10 minutes brings up a lot of fear. What about my to-do list today? What if I get bored or lazy? How can I take 10 minutes for stillness with everything else going on in life?
I know I am not alone in those questions running non-stop in my head. Listen to this episode to hear how I am learning the importance of adding stillness into my life and YOU CAN TOO!

It is time for me to open up and share what all has been going on behind the scenes the last few months. I have shared a lot of my journey with you all but also been hiding some of what I have been really going through.
This episode was not easy for me to record, and to be honest, I still held back some, but most importantly I share the power of AWARENESS. Throughout my self development, investing in coaches and events, I have become more aware of how I am truly feeling inside.
I am ready to show the world who I am, are you ready to find out?

If no one else will admit it, life has been hard the past four to six weeks. I have been very aware how my time and energy has been slipping. The beginning of the year, I challenged myself to assess where my energy was going and create better habits and awareness. Yes, I did this but some of those better habits have been put to the side.
On today's episode, I share how I am getting back on track. Adding intentionality back into my life and YOU CAN TOO. Simply put, I am in a tough season as you may be too. How do I pull myself out and keep going toward my goals and dreams again?
Listen in to hear a few questions you can ask your self to start reassessing where you are at and remind your self, "It is ok to say no!"
