EP38 The Sneaky Stuff Holding You Back
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
In this episode, we’re stepping into the second part of the VIBE Method: Identify. This is where we look beneath the surface and get curious about what’s really getting in the way. Because that thing you think is the problem? Often, it’s not the whole story. We’ll talk about why surface fixes (like changing the job, the routine, or the meal plan) don’t create lasting change, and how your body and emotions are constantly giving you useful data—not evidence that you're failing. We’ll explore how blocks can show up on multiple levels—physical, emotional, mental, and...

EP37 Stop Chasing Goals- Start Chasing Feelings
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
Ever notice how you can hit your goals and still feel...meh? In this episode, we’re kicking off a four-part series on my VIBE Method, starting with the “V” — Vision. But not the vision board kind. We’re talking about creating a vision for how you actually want to feel in your life, not just what you want to achieve. And of course we'll make it practical with a simple (but effective) exercise to help you pinpoint your three “feeling words” — the ones that can shift how you see your day, your goals, and even yourself. If you’ve been stuck on the treadmill of “doing...

EP35 Curiousity Is Your Superpower
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
Everybody has a superpower. In fact, we all have the same superpower. For some of us it lays dormant, waiting to be discovered, for others we've discovered it but are using it against ourselves. This superpower is Curiousity! And not only did it not, in fact, kill the cat, it has the power to change your life. In this episode I share three keys to really using this superpower.

EP33 What To Do With Anger
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
We are all feeling a whole lot of big feelings and they can be overwhelming. Anger in particular can negatively effect your life. Acknowledging your feelings is important, knowing that there is information for you in the feelings is really important, but unless there is action after, you kinda still remain stuck in the emotions. In today's episode I share how to work with anger (or any emotion) in four key areas: physical, mental, emotional and energetic.

Ep32 Why You Want a Word to Guide Your Year
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
While I don't recommend resolutions or big audacious goals right now, I do think you want a word of the year to guide you. Are you familiar with having a word of the year concept? It seems silly but it can be a very powerful way to navigate the year, regardless of all the crazy stuff that happens. This episode explains how a word can help and gives advice on how to pick yours.

EP31 No Resolutions for 2021
The Wellness Ninja Podcast
No resolutions. No big goals. No 30/60/90 day reset. No 75hard. None of it. If New Years resolutions worked, 80% of them wouldn't be tossed by February. It's been a stressful year so how about we don't stress our nervous systems out more okay? Let's try a different approach this year. Lets simplify it to the foundation support pieces. Just a few things to focus on. Listen in and I'll explain what I mean.
info_outlineToday's episode is an interview with Confidence Coach Riley Lawson. She shares her journey from working in fashion and having a lot of self judgement to reaching a place of being tired of blaming others and taking responsibility for her life. She gives really helpful examples from her own life of the work she has done to reframe her thoughts and change her beliefs to reach a place of self acceptance, and dare we say, self love.
