Hello 2024! Also, how dare you sneak up on me like this. With both feet now in the new year, it’s a great opportunity to ask ourselves what we want out of 2024. It’s important to take a moment and ask ourselves what our heart’s desires and goals are for this year. If we don’t take the time to ask ourselves it’s so easy to get swallowed up into other things like work, family drama, parenting responsibilities, etc. The world asks a lot of women, and we often oblige. And because of this we need to make a special effort to figure out what we want so that we can work towards it. We need to take a p ..read more

Hello again beautiful pod squad! We’re back after the summer break and so excited to talk to you about becoming WHOLE. What a concept, right? How do we do that? Well, one way is to integrate the different versions of ourselves we carry around. We may hide away or ignore parts of ourselves, but those parts are still there and they require love and acceptance, too. They are all a part of YOU and all of you deserves love and compassion. So, come gather up all the parts of yourself you’ve ever left elsewhere and remember your glorious wholeness! Repeat after me (filling your name in the blank): I ..read more

In this episode Kelly talks about how the mothering and nurturing we do makes the world go ‘round. She talks about how being a nurturing leader and mothering are synonyms, even if we have a complicated relationship with the word Mother. She talks about the fears she had about becoming a mother and why self-mothering (or being your own inner-mom) is so important. She also tells the interesting origin story of Mother’s Day and the badass, feminist organizer, Julia Ward Howe, who started the special day as an effort to bring women together in the name of world peace. Just wait until you hear the ..read more

It’s true. You are. You are doing *so* much better than you think you are. Unfortunately, Women rarely have an accurate view of ourselves (thanks, patriarchy!). Too often, we exaggerate personal setbacks and minimize our accomplishments. It can be easier to remember the critiques and negative stuff than the positive compliments. So, this is a podcast to help you realize that you are actually - and honestly - doing well, great even. Especially considering all you’ve been through. And how do I know that you’ve been through a lot? Well, we’re women. We brave so much. We endure and survive and sol ..read more

In this season of rebirth and awakening, many of us are feeling the call to return to ourselves, return to who we truly are. Most of us have been distracted and over-stimulated from the uncertainty and chaos that were the last three years but now, as we peak our heads outside the cave of winter, we are curious and hungry to get back to ourselves. Returning to ourselves means remembering who we were before the world taught us who to be (and who *not* to be). This is a great time to take inventory of our lives and look at what brings us joy and makes us feel “like ourselves”. It’s also a great t ..read more

It’s our first episode of 2023! Let’s talk about fables, stories and journeys to the underworld and back. Listen in to hear about the importance of the journey, including the magic in the “darkness”. Kelly talks about Inanna, Persephone, Alice in Wonderland and Dorothy in Oz - all women on important journeys for wisdom, power and their souls. There is so much to learn and grow from when it comes to “the journey”. There’s much to accept and be grateful for, even the hard stuff that sculpts us into evolved versions of ourselves. Acceptance and gratitude, our theme and mantra for 2023. For daily ..read more

So happy to be back! And I LOVE diving into the topic of this episode: yin energy, yule time and the holy days around the winter solstice. This time of year has ancient roots of rejoicing, feasting and being together. So many modern holiday (meaning “holy day'') traditions are based in pagan or nature-centered spirituality and they are beautiful to acknowledge and celebrate. This is the special time of year where we can really “lean in” to the divine feminine, the warm and nurturing things that bring us hope for the future. It’s a wonderful time of year to carve out time for ourselves to be st ..read more

Part of owning and embodying our power is by owning the energy we create and transmit to the outside world (and to ourselves). By taking responsibility for the energy we bring, we are acknowledging the power we have, while consciously creating the lives and futures we want. We are not mere victims of life’s circumstances. We are powerful agents of our own lives. We create and attract what we “put out there”. Don’t you think it's time we owned the energy we put out into the world? Well, let’s do this!

There’s a whirlwind of chaos going on out there and it can be so easy to get swept away into it. It’s time that we prioritize our own peace. It’s time that we purposefully sought out peace for yourselves. It’s time that we *created* more peace in our lives. And there are so many ways to do it! What brings you peace? What allows you to slow down and catch your breath? What nourishes you and helps you feel grounded and whole? We talk about all this and much more in this episode!

I’m back from summer holidays and ready to give you your podcast dose of encouragement, support and sisterly love. If you are feeling a little lost lately, you are NOT alone. The whole world is in a state of transition as we stare down the barrels of so many unknowns. It’s OK to feel a little (or a lot) lost right now. It’s normal, even. And I’m here to remind you that you are strong and powerful, even when you feel lost. PLUS, feeling lost is part of our heroine’s journey. Or as Christina Feldman explains in her fantastic book, “The Quest of the Warrior Woman”, a “season of discontent” is par ..read more
