play

09/21/23 • 35 min

This week I'm joined by my incredible friend and client, Kara Joshi, a beacon of strength and compassion, who's going to take us on a heartfelt journey of supporting loved ones through addiction while also tending to our own well-being. Kara's story is a shining example of resilience, and today, we're diving deep into the art of finding that delicate balance in life. Yes, we're tackling a tough topic, addiction, but I promise this episode is all about hope, love, and self-care!

In this touching conversation, Kara and I chat about her experience with having a loved one with addiction issues, and how she has reevaluated how she shows up for others and for herself with deep self-love and forgiveness.

Kara opens up about her personal journey, showing us the incredible power of shedding negative thought patterns and embracing daily practices that bring healing and positivity into our lives. It's nothing short of inspiring to witness her transformation, and I can't help but shower her with praise for her unwavering dedication to her healing journey!

Tune in now for a conversation filled with compassion, resilience, and advice on balancing the acts of self-love and support! 💞

Provoking Possibilities - Unlocking the Power of the Subconscious Mind
play

08/24/23 • 29 min

Let's take a moment to imagine diving into the deepest corners of our minds – those cozy nooks filled with dreams, memories, and untapped potential. It's like discovering a hidden treasure trove within ourselves, just waiting to be explored. And you know what's truly magical? When we venture into the world of the subconscious mind, there's absolutely no ceiling to what we can uncover and achieve!

Think about all those emotions, experiences, and beliefs that reside beneath the surface, patiently biding their time. It's as if our minds hold a secret garden of possibilities, ready to bloom. As a certified hypnotherapist who's deeply passionate about unveiling the remarkable power of the subconscious, this is where I step in.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtains to reveal the true essence and powers of hypnosis. When we use hypnosis properly, we unearth a world of possibilities that can really redefine the very essence of our existence!

Yet, this journey is more than just rewiring our thoughts; it's about embracing compassion, exploring the depths of self-discovery, and nurturing personal growth on a profound level. So as we venture forward, remember that every step you take is a step toward a more compassionate and connected world – both within and around you. 💞

Have you ever found yourself begging the universe to send you a specific message or blessing? What about ignoring what you know deep down, all while patiently waiting for the outside validation to kick in? In my experience, sometimes the most profound blessings are really disguised as little whispers from the universe. But how can we be open to receiving those messages quicker and with more ease?
In this episode, I dive deep into the topic of self-permission and how it can unlock the freedom we're all desperately searching for. I'm sharing how to break free from the "shoulds" and "musts" to embracing a life of true authenticity. And with that clarity, it really can open a new door to receiving more of those lessons, more of those messages, & more expansion than we thought was possible!
So lets ditch the outdated rules society has created for us and explore the idea of receiving MORE – more abundance, joy, opportunities, love, and whatever else our hearts desire.

How to Get Out of Your Own Bubble

Provoking Possibilities

play

06/08/23 • 33 min

In a world where it is easy to get caught up in ‘doing’ and taking action, I too have found myself getting lost in the noise of all of the things I think I should be doing from time to time. The idea of “slowing down to speed up” might be an unfamiliar concept to you so I want to share my experimentations with finding more spaciousness in my schedule and how giving myself the time to get out of my comfort zone and my familiar bubble has been instrumental in allowing me to enjoy my life and my business so much more.

In this episode, I’ll share with you what it has meant to me to get out of my bubble to make room for new experiences, how to reevaluate your priorities by refocusing your intentions, my experiments with creating my own micro-routines and how you can too. Perhaps you will also feel encouraged to reclaim your time and life in a way that feels good for you.
