This is the second time I’ve had this wonderful soul on the show and she came back because you guys wanted her to come back. We are talking more specifically in this episode about sex, sexual trauma, sexual expression and liberation. So if you do have kiddos around I would highly recommend popping in some headphones.

This episode with Renee Airya is about accepting the range of our emotions. We also talk about connecting to our truth, which comes up often on the podcast, but it's so important for us to create that internal channel of connection. I love how Renee invites us to feel into our truth to decide who we are and who we’re not in the moment. I tell my client's all the time, it’s all about what we can do in the moment because as we grow and evolve, our truth will change- and that’s OK.

In this episode Jill Coleman and I talk about how we can find purpose outside of the obsession we have with our bodies. This is a huge conversation and a core desire for a lot of the women who come into HFH community. You know, it's something I had to figure on my own, understanding how to be in our bodies and how to just love myself without obsessing over myself. Jill and I also talk about creating a unique approach to life.

This episode with Lisa Kaplin is all about getting over the fear of voicing our truth and creating a clear channel of communication. You know something I see constantly with my clients is the fear of speaking up because we're afraid of rejection and something I always say to them is it's not rejection, it's re-direction.

I loved this episode. One thing we talked about with our group programs and with all of our clients is life is constantly happening for us in perfect timing. When we can step out of that victim mentality of "Life is happening to me" and and "Life is happening for me" it shifts our emotionality and we're able to see and experience more miracles and so we talked a lot about this. Jessica opens up about her condition, endometriosis and how it's given her awareness of her body.

This episode with the lovely Rebecca Niziol is all about recognizing our flow states. Flow is something that’s naturally accessible in our bodies and it feels different for everyone. For Rebecca, it’s the feeling of ease. For me, it’s losing track of time because I’m doing something I'm so immersed in and I totally love. We’re this steady stream of love but as we go through life, we get blocked from the pain, trauma and forced actions we experience.

In this episode with Katie Dalebout we talk about expressing our true selves through journaling. I freaking love journaling and for those of you who are not 'journalers', journaling is a beautiful way to release the emotionality thats trapped in our bodies so we can really decipher the difference between what is true and what is not true. So whether we have an idea, need to process an emotion or we just literally need to dump our thoughts down, we can do it in a sacred space without any fear of judgement.

In this episode Tara and I speak about how the food and body disconnection among women ties into feminism. This was a juicy topic that we haven't addressed on the show yet and I was fired up after hearing what Tara had to say about this. She also asks a question that I want you to think about, “What could you actually accomplish if your fight with food and  weight didn’t exist?” Let this settle in and once you have the answer, pop into the Facebook group and let me know!

Today I have Rosie Acosta on the podcast and we get into the beauty of yoga, stillness and truly honoring our bodies. Each and every day we’re moving around in these amazing vessels that literally guide our human experience and we just often don’t take time to acknowledge how profound and how amazing it is. Rosie lets us in on different yoga practices and breathing techniques that we can use to get balanced whenever we feel untethered.

In this episode we talk about the mindset of men and how women can support them in cultivating emotional intelligence. He said something really profound, “Women are the permission cards for men’s vulnerability and growth.” I  loved that because it’s not from a place of trying to control, but from us being the example. You know, showing up, being vulnerable, talking about our emotions and processing them in real time. It’s a beautiful dance.

I have brought on one of my dear clients, Sue Spencer. She is a society alumni and she is currently in the Hungry for Happiness Certification Program to certify herself to become a Hungry for Happiness coach. The reason I brought Sue on the podcast is she is so incredibly inspiring. I love when my clients come on. They can really speak to where they're at and the journey they go through so you as listeners can really have an inside scoop of what it's really like to finally end the battle with food.

Today Robyn and I talk about energetic frequencies, vibrations and flow. I am so into this conversation about vibe and food. It is something that I am personally really digging into in my own life and I using in my own work as well. But what I love about this episode is how Robyn brings quantum physics to the conversation, so it's like combining woo woo stuff with actual science proving we and everything around us is just energy. All day long we’re either giving or receiving energy.

This episode with Alex is all about navigating through the world as an empath and how we can connect and protect our energetic field. I know for myself, I had no idea I was an empath and constantly felt drained by other people's energy. She's all about focusing on what feels good to us individually and honoring that it may look different for everyone. We chatted about connecting to our true desires and releasing any thoughts, beliefs and actions that no longer serve us.

This conversation with Christine made me feel so energized. She is a force. She’s one of those beautiful women who’s been in this industry for quite a while and she has never swayed from her integrity. That’s what I appreciate so much about her.  She’s just so knowledgeable in the realm of personal development and we get into the fundamental reasons why of so many of us don’t fully jump into our transformation with both feet.
