Paige’s story is really interesting. She was the woman who was doing all the right wellness things, yet, of her own admission, was still spirituality starved and looking for something. Then she was hit with a seriously heavy cancer diagnosis. Today we’re talking about her journey through that, and some of the lessons she learned. She talks more about the spiritual and life lessons she learned in her book which is about to be released called Here We Grow. >> Kate's group program, Channel Your Chill goes live May 16th!

What constitutes an intuitive-hit or a nudge from the Universe?--- Channel Your Chill, my group program is currently open for registration! Check it out here: www.thrive.how/channelyourchill ---A listener reached out to me recently to ask this, and she is far from the first person to bring it up. I can still remember back when I was sure I didn't have an intuitive bone in my body. Now - 5 years later - I consider myself incredibly tuned in to my inner guidance system. In this episode I'm talking through 4 particular checkpoints that can help you ascertain whether you're in alignment with your inner knowing, or whether you may have got caught in rumination or your overthinking mind. Some of the things covered include: The difference between Green Light intuition and your Warning System intuitionHow intuition is a feeling rather than thinking systemHow intuitive guidance will struggle to be heard over loud thoughtsWhat you can do t

Niki is an experienced Reiki Master-Teacher with a really interesting story. She offers both Reiki sessions and also facilitates Reiki practitioner training workshops.After reaching her own rock bottom, struggling with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, she was led to Reiki through a series of synchronistic events. We talk more about her journey and I get my Reiki-for-dummies questions answered.I’ve been interested, yet confused, by the concept of Reiki for the longest time. So long, I felt it was about time I simply had a conversation where I had the chance to ask all of my completely inexperienced questions.And if I’m a little nosy about what on earth this Reiki thing is, then I’m betting a few of you have heard about it too. Or maybe you haven’t? If you have or you haven’t – you’ll still get SO much out of this conversation.Some of the things we cover in this episode include:-      What Reiki actually is-      How energy can be sent throug

It's another play it again episode! If you want to live a deeply fulfilling life, you can't afford not to dive deeply into yourself. This episode made a splash when I released it the first time, and it's also one of my favs. It's hard hitting goodness. I'm going deep in these 12 min asking you - What Matters to You? What is Your Why?I'm talking about getting to your core using Simon Sinek's idea of Starting with Why.Here's the blog post I reference of mine:https://www.thrive.how/what-are-you-working-for/Linds Reeding - A Short Lesson in Perspectivehttp://www.businessinsider.com/its-not-worth-it-linds-reddings-short-lesson-in-perspective-2012-11The questions I challenge you to answer:What matters most to you?What do you believe in?What would make you so very proud of yourself?Finally, are you living in alignment with these things or getting closer to them?Why? Why are you doing what you do? Why does it matter to you?If you enjoyed this and haven't yet listened to April Seifert's recent episode - #81. Stop Livi

This episode with guest Tahlee Rouillon is full of magic. It was so juicy, and I was so engaged I totally forget to ask her my standard set of questions!The conversation is one part inspiration and one part the geeky and fascinating science behind binaural beats (or Meditones as Tahlee refers to them). In the first half of the conversation we talk in depth about Tahlee's finding her way to her soul's calling, and how she took anything but the direct route. Her journey is inspirational as it is so real, and you can also see the thread of magic that wove through it and brought her right back to where she was supposed to be.The second part is a fascinating discussion about the power certain types of music have to deepen our states and change our brainwaves. Tahlee makes her music, Meditones, which are designed to help people go into slower brainwaves states much more frequently. We also discuss just how meditation can make us feel calmer and more present in our waking hours due to neuroplasticity and our brain's

I'm playing it again, because this concept is important, yet super simple. Are you reactive or proactive in life? This isn't necessarily a cut and dried question. Depending on what is going on in our lives we will often slip back into functioning very much in a reactive state, even if we're naturally more proactive people. It's about getting stuck on the treadmill of life and forgetting to step back for a second. In this episode I will talk through ways in which you can get yourself out of a rut and start living life from your front foot again.
