So grateful for the support, it means the world to us ✨❤️

Our bodies are the often overlooked messengers, trying to provide information on not only our physical health but our emotional health. At first these messages are delivered quietly but over time, if ignored, they get louder and louder.

This week, Emily talks through how her journey towards becoming more emotionally healthy directly impacted her physical health and the impact of ignoring the messages her body was sending for too long. 

Emily also shares the impact author, Gabby Bernstein has had on her growth and development. Her new book, "Happy Days," focuses on this week's topic and came out at the perfect time to be a supportive source during Emily's journey with health. You can find links to both "Happy Days' and another key book on health, "The Body Keeps Score" by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. on the recommended reading page of the website and linked in our bio.

Join us each week as we chat about growth, spirituality, living more authentically, and trying to practice being human.

Let us know if there is anyone you know who should join us on the podcast to either teach us something new or share their story on our Speaking Your Truth Series.

This week Emily and Brandi go down the rabbit hole of Human Design. Human Design is a tool for self discovery that brings together principles of The I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics. This complex and facinating process helps you discover your 'true self' and ultimate purpose.

The two-some are joined by Sam Nelson, Human Designs coach, breath work practitioner and owner of . Sam walks Emily and Brandi through the intricate process of reading a human chart, the 5 main archetypes, and how to use Human Design to live a more authentic life.

Carl Jung defines the false self as a "kind of mask, designed on one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and, on the other, to conceal the true nature of the individual."

On this week's episode, Brandi and Emily curiously explore the idea of the false self and how it holds us back from self discovery and true growth. Who are we beneath the surface? How do we embrace wholeness when society encourages and rewards the idea of a false self? How do we begin the journey of uncovering our authentic self?

Listen this week while Brandi and Emily talk about how setting down their false selves was not and easy process but worth working through, along with all things Carl Jung :) Check out new episodes every Monday. Please like, subscribe, share, and review, your support helps our podcast grow.

Welcome to our brand new Speaking Your Truth series, where we invite amazing women on the podcast to share their personal stories of leaning into the discomfort and what their journey towards living a more authentic life looks like. This week we welcomed Cori Latousek to the podcast to share her personal journey of living a more authentic life. Cori is a fire fighter, member of the LGBTQ community and an active member of the Christian community. Being raised in a very conservative church in Arkansas, Cori was faced reconciling the contradictory views of her church and sexuality. Cori stood in her truth and paved a way that felt true to her. As a result she has become an active voice for LGBTQ teens finding a safe and accepting space in the church and being able to embrace their faith in a way that feels true to them.

Join us each week as we curiously explore what it looks like to live more authentically. Do you know any kick ass women who should share their story on our podcast? Please reach out to us at [email protected] or DM us on IG. We would love to talk to them!

This week Emily and Brandi welcome author of "More Than a Mom", Ashley Carbonatto. The three discuss what it looks like to attempt to authentically and wholly show up in motherhood. From finding and holding onto your identity to the daily grind, Ashley brings her insight and shares how she became a voice for other moms walking through the trenches of motherhood.

For those moms out there, especially in the thick of it, we see you. This is tough work and you are showing up daily. Trying to find your own identity outside of motherhood is a process and one that is always evolving as our role/season of mothering evolves.

Ashley Carbonatto is a domestically underachieving mom-of-three who juggles all the things. She’s a gatherer of people, a welcomer to the outsider, a storyteller to the tired, and an entertainer to the downcast. After leaving a successful career, she re-discovered her voice and renewed purpose in motherhood, but in her own unconventional way. You need homemade frosting? She’s not the one you call. But you need a good story and honest reflection? Ashley’s your woman. She lives in Issaquah, Washington with her husband & three minions, runs an e-commerce wine business so she always has a drink in the fridge for anyone who stops by. You can find her book on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-Mom-Everyday-Monotony-ebook/dp/B08FHB9WQC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3C0INX1MNLZHP&keywords=more+than+a+mom&qid=1639438534&sprefix=more+than+a+mom%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-1

We will be taking the next two weeks off to rest and be present with our families. We look forward to starting back up in the New Year.

Anatomy of Trust ✨

08/12/2021

This week we work to define both trust and distrust.

What are your thoughts on these definitions?

Being able to clearly articulate what trust looks like for you and how it can be practiced on a daily basis is key for healthy connections.
