Hey There Friends! 

Hope y'all are doing amazing, right before I recorded this episode I went on a 7.5 hike with a buddy and laughed like I haven't laughed in years....and you know what, I was right in the middle of some serious relationship drama! 

I tell you this only because I always promise to be real with you, I don't want you to ever think that in order to share your wisdom and help uplift another person, you have to have it all together....the truth is we are all human having a human experience and are meant to grow. I personally want to grow and grow and grow...

Let's chat relationships shall we? 

When I talk about relationships during this episode I am talking about anyone and everyone you wish to leave that interaction feeling happy, full of joy and full of good energy, rather than the opposite.

If you are a yeller (or wish you could yell), sometimes over-reacting to finally feel heard or valued, then this episode is for you.

Hey There Gorgeous! 

Hope you're enjoying your Summer, are you ready for the kiddos to head back to school yet?

I homeschool mine, so its actually the opposite for me, I love the freedom Summer brings, I get so much more done! 

With school getting ready to go back into session, and being that you've had all these weeks with the kids, I thought I'd share a few secrets about raising highly sensitive children.

Some of my absolute favorite clients have been working with families raising these highly intelligent, sensitive, super active, ridiculously amazing, yet demanding kids! 

My business was called Nourish The Gift - Not the Disorder, often it's simply about bringing these kids into balance, to nourish their gifts rather than the destructive patterns that can show up when out of balance.

After being a highly sensitive child myself, and raising four of my own along with several years of working with Physicians and families across the nation,...

Hey There Friend! 

How is this full moon, Mercury Retrograding, high vibing week treating you?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling it.

You'll hear in this podcast how retrograde almost got to our recording, but we made it and you get to listen in because of it! (Although my brand new 4 month old Macbook Pro didn't survive!)

Let's chat boundaries shall we? 

Do you say, "Yes" when you really want to say "No"?

Or say "No" without guilt or explanation?

Do you hold space for yourself and show up for you the same enthusiastic way you do for everyone else? 

Do you feel overwhelmed with all you do, and don't seem to be getting where you want to be?

This week's podcast episode of The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast is about setting and keeping boundaries for a more aligned and blissful life.

Learning to set boundaries is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself, so why then is setting them so hard?

Let both my special guest Whitney...

I learned my strength, and what I was capable of overcoming when life was at its hardest.

I'm going to teach you how to look at your life with different lenses and discover your greatest gifts, and how you are called to use them.

In this Podcast episode I teach you:

• How to discover your life's purpose

Hey There Friend,

This week over on The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast, I had a special guest and we talk all things overwhelm, and how instead you can be more empowered to feel exactly the way you want to feel.

I don't know about you, but before I had a handle on my intense feelings, overwhelm was a familiar friend.

Before I get into the episode, and how you can lower your feelings of overwhelm by being intentional with the space you create.

I want to help you understand that overwhelm isn't actually a true thing. (Even if it feels like it.)

It's an emotion, driven by your thoughts.

The best part is that you get to master your mind and therefore master your thoughts.

The key is being willing to pay attention to your thoughts, and recognize them for what they are.

I'm curious if you ever find yourself "numbing out," and not wanting to feel anything, using things like, over-eating, over-drinking, over-spending and even over stuffing your house, and closet with things.

In...

Hello Friend, 

I have been really studying emotional eating and managing the tendency to use food to numb out and not feel so much, so I created this weeks podcast to share with you in hopes to be of service.

As an empath we feel everything on such a deep level and the sugar cravings and overeating can sometimes be one of our coping mechanisms to help us numb those feelings out and not have to deal with them.

You know the feeling, the donut screaming your name on the break room table. The Ben and Jerry's calling you from the freezer. The warm chocolate chip cookies your daughter just baked, beckoning from the kitchen counter. The nachos eating away at your willpower as you binge on Netflix. Here they are again-the cravings!

We all have them, but do you know why, and what to do about them? Cravings have both physical and emotional components. The most common foods we crave are sugar, carbs, salt, chocolate and my fave cheese! 

So let's chat about some helpful tips to...

Hello Dearest Friend, 

Today I want to teach you about uncovering your greatest gifts and releasing what it is that is getting in your way of living your best life, and serving at your greatest capacity.

At 82 pounds overweight I carried shame and fear, but not because of my weight.

Looking back I realize I felt those feelings well before I ever put the weight on with over-eating, and trying to numb out those feelings.

That shame led me to shitty boyfriends in school that abused me physically and emotionally. Did I truly understand my worth if I ended up in those situations?Or ended up in a religion that told me I had to have a husband to make it to the highest realms of heaven? 

I carried deep rooted shame, shame from inner parts of me that needed healed, not shame from my weight, my weight was simply a symptom of the shame I carried.

A couple days ago I had a healing session with a Shaman *gasp* to my Christian friends, this world isn't as scary as it has...

Hey There Friend,

I hope today finds you well. I am just coming in from being outside with the animals, maybe you don't know, but I run a 501(c) 3 federally recognized Non-Profit Animal Rescue, we call it Hillside Haven Pig Rescue, (although we have many kinds of animals here).

We've had rain here and they've all been cooped up. Horses that are usually turned out in big open spaces, were confined to smaller stalls under safe keeping from the weather. 

This really got me thinking, are we making time for play? By we, I mean you and me and our society as a whole.

-OR-

Are we all cooped up feeling restricted and confined to the safety of our own creating? 

I've always been drawn to animals, they've saved me many times in my life.

They are a beautiful reflection of us, and what is possible, and a mirror of when we might be restricting and harnessing ourselves. Especially the beautiful, intuitive, highly sensitive equine. 

As I turned our gorgeous mares out they...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.-Marianne Williamson

 I can't tell you the amount of times I said to myself, " I am doing every single thing right and this dang weight won't budge, nothing is working."

Through my own weight loss experience and almost a decade of coaching I have come to understand the real meaning of "nothing works," as really a way of self sabotage, and one of the lies we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. 

The real issue isn't that we don't have time, or we are too stressed and overwhelmed, or that we have a low thyroid...it goes much deeper than that. 

We have what Gay Hendrick's in his book "The Big Leap" calls, an Upper Limit Problem. This is about when we start to push up against the limit of what what we believe we deserve, we take actions (either consciously or unconsciously) to bring...
