How to Smile Through What Feels Like S*&T
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
They say that there is a planetary SHIFT going on. Sometimes that SHIFT feels like S*&T. Como? (what?) Homo? (what?) Did I say “Homo Lumininous” in this podcast? Yes I did. If you want to learn more about this shift, I enjoyed this video and would love to share it with you: Here are the mantras from today’s show: I also mention “the Giving Tree” conundrum, and i invite you to listen to that episode, and check out the show notes here. Thank you for listening!

Midwest Mantras 131 - What is Love? Don’t Hurt Me (or Shakira) No More
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
I had no idea that I’d break into tears during this podcast, but I did. The topic is love, after all. And my heart is broken BIG TIME. I am reviewing these notes on the morning of surgery to fix a deviated septum from middle school when my nose was severely broken. My mom had looked at me with my Marsha-Brady-episode-where-her-nose-blew-up-to-3x-times-the-size-and-black-and-blue-eyes (that rhymes) and said, “You’re fine.” So today, I don’t breathe as well as would be optimal. I believe this is part of my loss of health story. I’m finally getting it fixed....

Midwest Mantras 129 - No, Never, Not (What I Learned from Prince, Air Supply, and Disney)
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
I woke up this morning “on the wrong side of the bed.” (It’s likely the divorce I’m going through). Sometimes I turn to music to help me process the emotions I’m feeling. The word “emotion” comes from “emote,” which is about being in motion. I believe that feelings are meant to be felt, to be processed, which creates movement and allows them to move in and through our system. What I want to avoid is getting feelings stuck. Or repressing what is meant to be felt. Since I’m on an inner journey to uncover repressed emotions and better understand myself,...

Midwest Mantras 127 - Be on the Move
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
I’ve been on the move a lot. I've counted up all the times that I've moved in the past six months and I moved 14 TIMES! How crazy is that? Anyway, I just did this incredible exercise with my coach, Jessica. And she helped me to identify my values. And I would not have guessed what they were. My number one was purpose. I'm always the person that asks why. My second is opportunity and third is recognition. Here are the mantras: Nothing is as constant as change. My questions for you are: Do you think that time is speeding up change? ...

Midwest Mantras 126 - Be Brave!
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
Why have I been so grumpy?Why the under eye bags? What is this about imposter syndrome?I’ve been crying. And dealing with some health challenges. Health challenges always suck, but they are especially hard when you’re supposed to be some kind of “wellness expert”. In this solo cast “short”, I’m going to be brave, and I hope that by listening/watching this episode, you too can be inspired to be a little more brave.These days I’m not just crying about my health issues. I’ve got some broken plates I’m dealing with (LINK TO EP 124) as well as coming to terms with my tree stump...

Midwest Mantras 124 - Broken Plates & a New Paradigm
Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
After being MIA for over 6 months, I’ve decided to release several episodes in succession. Who is Kat “TK*”? I am playing around with the concept that I’m a cat, given that I recently had an NDE (Near Death Experience). I’ve had several NDEs before, and I’m starting to treat life like maybe this is the only one I’ve got left. A pretty basic concept, eh? LIFE YOUR LIFE. (What would you add?) Here are some ideas: Life Your Life. Like it’s your one and only. Life Your Life. Like no one’s watching. Life Your Life. To honor the one and only beautiful You....
info_outlineMy guest for this mantra-filled podcast is Cathie Caccia. Please read more about this “yoga superstar” below.
Please also see below for the links to her website, with information about retreats and classes you can get involved in.
If you are one of the lucky people listening to the episode prior to October 18th, 2019, please see below for a link to the retreat with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee.
There are NINE mantras for this show. They are:
1. Being a “yoga superstar” is a bit of an oxymoron (yoga is for every-body).
2. Yoga is about I'm doing rather than doing.
3. A major benefit of yoga is being connected to one's authentic self.
4. Finally - a message about getting unstuck: “don't calcify the conversation, listen”.
5. We all need to be heard, seen, and hopefully understood (listen to others).
6. We need to see ourselves, listen to ourselves, and hopefully understand ourselves (listen to self).
7. Breathing can create physical, spiritual, and mental healing.
8. We are all radio stations broadcasting a signal; what vibrational seeds do you want to germinate?
9. Creating a mantra for the breath (in and out) is so easy, yet so transformational.
