EP 40: Emotions & Holding Space for Them
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about emotions, how to hold space and not stuff them down. How honoring our emotions allows them to move through us, and not get stuck within our bodies. We touched on: 1) How often we have been told to ‘quit our crying or I’ll give you something to cry about’ and many of us have learned to stuff our emotions and not feel them. 2) Things that come up that trigger us, are there to teach us a lesson, and can be a mirror for our own healing. It is a gift to lean into it and heal from it. Generally things have nothing to do with the person,...

EP 39: Hiding
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about how often in life we hide from things because of our own beliefs about ourselves. And how the light that we see in others, is within us as well… and we need to shine it, and share our gifts with the world. We touched on: 1) How our bodies will physically manifest our beliefs about ourselves if we are not paying attention to them. For example, acne if we fear being seen, or getting sick before travelling if we feel we don’t belong. None of this is conscious thought. 2) When someone sees the light in you, honour it. Shine it. Show it....

Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about how the love, validation and acceptance we often seek, needs to come from within. We need to give ourselves that great big love, first. We touched on: 1) How sometimes a heavy, or hard day or week is the beginning of so much growth.

EP 33: Finding Your People - The Importance of Community
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about how important it is to find people that you connect with, and how saying “yes” can be the start of something beautiful We touched on: 1) Finding your people. You may not know where ‘your’ people will be but saying yes to things when you listen to your heart, and trust it, you might meet a new best friend. 2) Doing things together is powerful.

EP 31: Organic, and Marketing
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about ‘organic’ and Jenna shares her background in agronomy, agriculture, and many generations of a farming family, and how marketing can play a part in what we see in the store. We touched on: 1) how powerful marketing can truly be and why it’s again, important to ask questions 2) how knowing where your food comes is more important than the term ‘organic’ in my opinion 3) how if you can support the local farmer and buy direct, you will make a much larger impact in the right direction Connect with us here: To learn more about the essential oils we talk...
info_outlineIn this episode we talk about how we are always supported, and that there are signs and symbols everywhere around us, but that we need to be aware and keep our eyes open and trust that all things are happening for us.
We touched on:
1) We do not have to figure out how or why we see symbols, we just need to trust that when we have that feeling that it’s a sign, that it is. Trust it! Awareness is key!
2) Signs and wisdom can come to us in things we see, or even in random posts, animals, or lyrics in songs. Sometimes songs appear, and if we are listening, we can hear the wisdom that is there for us. And how you can write down ‘Evidence of your alignment’ when things happen, or there’s a sign, or when things feel like incredible synchronicities… you will see how often you create your reality. There’s evidence of it. Write your own ‘evidence’ in a note in your phone. Your Reticular Activating System is powerful.
3) We touched briefly about trusting your body, and how to use muscle testing. Jenna gives an example of how to do it, and where she’s used it in her life.
4) When we lean in and fully listen to our bodies, and listen to the ‘signs’ our bodies are giving us, then we can feel better. Our bodies, our gut, our inner knowing… it’s always talking to us. Trust it! Our bodies know what they need, we need to trust and listen to them. The signs are there.
