Today we are rewinding the clock back to January of 2011. And what I find so great about this interview is that other than honing my communication skills, my platform and my message has not changed. This show easily applies to our world today despite being almost ten years old!! In this show K and I talk about finding love, overcoming fear, learning to trust again and how to connect to spirit. 

This show originally aired five years ago in the fall of 2014. Lori Jacobs is a master holistic healer and herbalist, and how she got into this field of work is incredible! What's even more unique about Lori, aside from her amazing natural healing skills, is she is one of the guests that I had on in the first year I launched this show back in 2011! So when people ask how the show has changed and evolved over the years, it hasn't! The name has changed a few times but the content never has! Today I rewind the clock and share our conversation about holistic health and how to take matters into your own hands because your good health is at stake!

Today I have on interior designer Laurence Carr. According to Laurence, ancient energy techniques inform her creative process. If you’re open to Feng Shui, the I Ching, Vastu, Crystal healing and Biophilia, then you're in the right place! Her mission in designing environments is simple: create sacred spaces that make you feel replenished, restored and reentered. In today's show Laurence and I will talk about how she got into holistic design, how to create interiors that promote health and well-being, and how to get more people on board with the idea of creating environments with sustainability, health and energy principles in mind.

I’ve got on manifestation expert Joyce Schwarz. Now here’s the crazy thing about manifestation, when your Chi is cultivated you're in alignment and become the attract factor in the equation to pulling to you the thing you desire. But if you're not in alignment you can pull all you want and all you're going to get is strong arms - I mean I guess that wouldn’t be so bad! But vision board expert Joyce Schwarz is going to show you how to hack the system, accelerate through the mud and get to where you want to be, faster! Today we are going to talk about how Joyce got into this business, how she became the expert, tools of the trade and how you can start manifesting correctly today!! 

Today we're going to talk about health and how to use Feng Shui to stay healthy. My inspiration stems from a recent trip I took where I didn't take my own advice! So if you're not well, constantly battling a chronic illness or get sick often, how on earth do you cultivate your Chi and stay in 'Above the Cross' emotions? I get it! After this episode of illness in late spring I realized I needed to talk about ways that you can care for yourself and do it effectively!

Today I’ve got back on the show Rachel Lang and Tisha Morris to talk about our July Mercury retrograde and how we can use this time to reflect, renew, revisit and revaluate our personal Chi and also our homes! We talk about what a retrograde is, how it can trigger us is we aren’t prepared, what to expect and how to navigate it with grace. In addition, we discuss both the solar and lunar eclipse happening July 2 and July 16. This month will be all about creative expression, purging what no longer serves us and seeing this as an opportunity to upgrade into our best self!

Today I’ve got on health and wellness expert Alex Stuart. At the early age of 28 she learned that her health was plummeting and like most folks she was taken down the ordinary allopathic direction of prescription drugs, false diagnosis and other traditional western calamities. But something in her woke up and made her think, this might not be the only way. After suffering for years with tonsillitis, fatigue and many other auto immune disorders she decided to take her health back and empower others to do the same! Today we’ll talk about how to take control of your own health, the dangers of chemicals known as endocrine disruptors, how to take better care of our planet and focus on the things that matter most! Oh and we discuss the one and only, Joe Dispenza!

Today's show is going to give you 13 ways to cultivate your Chi. I get emails all the time from people asking what cultivating Chi means, and how they can cultivate their own. So I wanted to put this together for you. I was inspired to do this show on behalf of all the moms out there, but these tips are universal and work for everyone.

Today I’ve got DETOX expert, Wendy Meyers on the show. One of the reasons I wanted to have Wendy on was to share with you her knowledge in heavy metal toxicity that many of us experience, even if you have a super healthy lifestyle! Today Wendy and I will talk about what detoxing is and why it matters, what you should be looking for and how to start detoxing your life today!

One of the main reasons I started this show 10 years ago was a desire to educate people on alternative ways to heal and be whole. Back then, I myself was seeking and searching for a better way to health and wellness and was shocked to learn that we have the power to heal our own bodies without drugs! Yep we can heal through all natural processes and it doesn’t require drugs, despite what our healthcare system tells us. I first learned of this concept when I read, Healing the Hopeless, the autobiography of Dr. Max Gerson, of Gerson therapy. This was my introduction into the world of functional medicine. Today I have on functional medicine Doctor, Jill Carnahan. A functional medicine doctor approaches our health and wellbeing in a much different way than allopathic medicine does. In this show, you will learn what functional medicine is, how it's different than western medicine, it's overall benefits and the 7 things you should stop eating for the next 30 days to rapidly change your health!

Today I am excited to have on a local Nashvillian, Susie Kerr Wright. And Susie is my kind of Woo! She is an astrologer, psychic medium, tarot card expert, Reiki master and teacher and she a certified life coach. This light worker is here to kick ass and take names, am I right? Susie says that she was always fascinated with the archetypes of human behavior. And guess what? That's Chi, right? Our charisma, expressions, mannerisms - that’s all Chi. And what she can do is look at the stars, see how they line up for you and help you better understand how that information shows up in your life. And understanding your astrology and make up also helps you better understand your reality, and environments. Just like we all have an elemental make up that determines our aesthetics - astrology also has clues to why you may be attracting a certain kind of space. Today Susie and I will talk about what she does as a psychic astrologer, how to lean into your true purpose and path, the misconceptions about this type of work

Today I have on researcher Courtney Ackerman, but she isn’t just any researcher she specializes in compassion and well-being. What I loved about this interview is that we focus on what makes us flourish, what elevates us, rather than focusing on the negative. How can you find gratitude in the everyday? Well you have to first find positivity - you know those elevated emotions - so that you can find gratitude for the mundane, like a fork. Yes that's right, a fork. Imagine trying to eat a salad without a fork! Man would that be messy, right? Today is about connecting to true gratitude - gratitude about the mundane things that mean the most but we often overlook because we take them for granted. Together we'll discover how to have a true attitude of gratitude!

Today I have on landscape designer Ben Hale from Easy Living Yards. I wanted to have Ben on the show for two reasons: 1) We have lost our connection to the natural world and our gardens are one of the easiest ways to rekindle that love affair and 2) Ben has approached it in a way that makes it easier to fit into our lives while still enjoying it immensely.  Today Ben and I are going to discuss gardens, gratitude how we connect to the natural world with open hearts without it feeling like a chore!  

Today I have on clinical psychologist, Amy Robbins. One of the reasons I started this podcast ten years ago was because I wanted to help people on their path to enlightenment - whatever that looked like for them. At the time of starting this podcast I was embarking on a very expensive divorce, closing down my retail store that took me years to build and struggling to find my own way. Simply put, I was lost. But I couldn’t find the tools I needed to get me through the human condition, better known as suffering. As I found healers, therapists, and holistic alternatives that helped me rise, I shared them on the podcast in hopes to help each and every one of you.  In today's episode Amy and I discuss how to find your voice and your path, how to evolve and rise even if you’re stumbling forward in a seemingly messy, frenetic manner and oh by the way, Amy also happens to be a medium who talks to your dead relatives helping you stumble forward a little more gracefully.   

Today I'm sharing part II of my interview with Karen Newell that we started last week! Karen is co author of Living in a Mindful Universe and co-founder of Sacred Acoustics. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out there website, sacredacoustics.com In today's episode we are going to talk about the power of prayer, her revolutionary company Sacred Acoustics, Animal Communication, meditation and growing your heart field to grow into gratitude.     

Today I have on author and co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, Karen Newell. She and her business partner Kevin Kossi have been innovators in the field of brainwave entrainment for several years, and what started out as a shared passion for exploring expanded states of consciousness has turned into a proprietary system called NeuralHelix. Neural helix is a blending of harmonic layering technology that delivers modulated brainwave patterns to create a profoundly relaxed state of awareness. What’s so cool is that their system, unlike any other that I've tried over the years provides select frequencies and tones to reduce the brains filtering effect which allows your consciousness to be set free.  Today we’ll be talking about the birth of Sacred Acoustics, consciousness, supreme illusion and Karen's journey into all things woo -solidifying her as an ultimate spiritual seeker.

Today I have on Stephanie Seferian from Mama Minimalist. According to Stephanie, "When it comes to living an eco-friendly life I think we can quickly get in our own way. I don’t have time, it's not convenient, I don’t know how." But what if doing one thing could change everything? Because it can!   In my new book Eco Everyday Habits to be More Eco-friendly, I share over 200 ways for you to get eco in super easy ways - but what if you have kids? How the hell does that work? Bring in Stephanie the mom of all moms that’s made it happen and has a helpful blog and website to show you how you can do it too! Today Stephanie and I will talk about how she eased her way into a more sustainable life even with kids, what sustainability vs eco-friendly even means and what are the worst habits people have that could immediately and easily be changed to start living an eco-friendly lifestyle today!

I think a lot of people think that being green and practicing Feng Shui are two separate things, however, only by utilizing ancient energy principles can we be one with mama earth. In order for us to honor her natural rhythms we have to understand energy and get back to basics. Many of us have lost our connection to those natural rhythms of the planet. We no longer honor her seasons and ignore the cycles that ebb and flow with harvest. We once celebrated her with offerings, ceremonies and ritual and in the last 100 years that love affair has been completely lost.  So what can Feng Shui do to save her? Well for one, we need to get back to basics. My book, Easy Everyday Habits to be More Eco-Friendly has just come out in print, and it's my love letter to educating you on easy ways to be green. And fyi - while you’re doing this you’re raising her chi and lovin' on her like the grand mama she is! I'll share with you 7 easy tips that you can start implementing today. You'll learn about B Corporations, sunscreens

Today I have on Jessica McNaughton, of Cara Green.  Now as many of you know I am a huge environmentalist and after receiving a random email from Cara Green about their wool insulation, I realized I needed to know more about this company. Whether you’re adding on to your existing home, building or remodeling - Cara Green helps you make eco conscious decisions that are good for the planet and your health and well being Today we will talk about what Cara Green is, what eco-friendly means, what spaces need to be truly healthy and how to avoid greenwashing and other tactics to grab your dollar for products that may not exactly be green!

Today I have on land healer and environmentalist Dr. Madhi Mason.  The month of April is always a special month to me because it's the month we celebrate earth day (FYI it's April 22) Now, I think every month should prompt you to be green but I get it, we are busy and it can get pushed aside. So the month of April is a great reminder to be green. No surprise, I've been very intentional in who’ve we lined up on the show this month to share my love of being green! Our planet is in trouble and her Chi is sick. It is our job as faithful stewards to bring her back to optimal health and Dr. Mahdi is one of those incredible stewards who uses mystical medicine to help our mama planet release toxic energies and residual traumas that can lower her vibe. Today we talk about what a land healer is, how to know if your land needs healing, how consciousness affects her and how to keep your property living a high vibe life.
