Self Care is a phrase that many of us have heard, and in recent years, we've begun to learn how important self care is as a part of meditation and practice in our everyday lives. But have you ever focused on self adoration? To take a moment to give yourself feelings of love and celebration? Adoration takes love to a different place and to adore yourself is to create moments of both self love and self care.
Laura McCann of ADORAtherapy helps us to understand that we are all divine beings and when we realize that and find the reason we are meant to be here, the world starts to feel very different.

The Gift of Mentorship with Wyjuana Montgomery - Ep 40
In Your Ellement
05/03/23 • 30 min
"When you are a teenager, you know you're trying to find your own way. You're trying to grow into independence, but not quite an adult yet. Do not blow off the adults who do take an interest in you, you know, that teacher who's trying to get the best out of you, the neighbor, it could be the shift manager on your job. Those people are there to support you. And even in the name of independence, that doesn't mean you don't need a mentor, even as an adult. I need a mentor. I'm a motivational speaker, but I need another motivational speaker in my life who's already internationally renowned. I've spoken internationally, but I need people who are beyond where I'm at, who've already been where I'm trying to go. And I think that that's so important not to take the mindset of being so Oh, I've got this I got this. I'm gonna do it myself until you're not taking wisdom from people who can really support you and be part of that village."
Wyjuana Montogomery shares how mentorship can be one of life's greatest gifts as we can learn from people who have braved the paths before us. When mentors show up in our lives, Wyjuana shares how we can embrace and honor those who see us and want to invest into who we are working to become.

Being a teenager can be super confusing. We have lots of social pressures, not to mention social media and otherwise. Every teenager I know seems to be wrestling with the same questions:
- Who am I?
- Where do I find my worth?
- What do I want to create out of my life?
- How do I want to show up in this world?
- How I do have healthy relationships?
- What do I value?
- What do I wish this world could be and how can I contribute?
- How do I identify?
- How can I be involved in the causes I care about?
- What impact will I have in the world?
With being a teen comes with a lot of responsibilities and pressure as is, let alone when I start to think about all of those questions...
This podcast is here to help us ask these burning questions to mentors who have been in our shoes before and have a desire to support and guide teens like us in all of these things that can otherwise feel overwhelming.

Social Anxiety with Teen Life Coach Sami Halvorsen - Ep 32
In Your Ellement
12/01/22 • 24 min
Have you ever felt anxious about giving a speech in front of a class or inadvertently becoming the center or attention? This version of anxiousness called social anxiety is not a form of introversion or about being shy, rather it is a feeling like everything in a social situation is pointing towards us. Social anxiety comes to life and begins to present itself the most as we become teens.
Today we hear Sami share ways to identify the ways social anxiety can show up, as well as give us invaluable tools of how to work through our anxiety in these situations.

Since she was in her teens, Sami Halvorsen has been an expert at feeling anxiety. If there was a world contest for the person who has felt the most anxiety, she just might be the champion! If you’ve ever experienced anxiety, you know how horrible it feels. You also know how it affects every part of your life. In her journey to feel better, she has tried so many different things. (Because when you feel horrible, you basically will do just about anything to feel better!) She studied relentlessly to find the answers and tools that eventually changed her life. She fell so in love with these tools that she knew she had to teach them. She worked very hard to become a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School (best program ever). She has taken the knowledge, tools, and skills she has mastered and put them together into programs adapted for teenage girls and young adult women.
