Choosing Who You Want to Be Changes Your Story with Kelly-Anne Appleton 06/23/2022

Choosing Who You Want to Be Changes Your Story with Kelly-Anne Appleton Today we are speaking with Mindset & Success Coach, Kelly-Anne Appleton. As a self-proclaimed “seeker” Kelly-Anne has spent the last 20 years of her life on a quest to learn to love and understand herself. After years of personal growth and healing, she finally happened on material that reinforced and solidified her belief that everything she was searching for was inside her. In 2020 she became certified in that work through the Proctor-Gallagher Institute. As an empathetic and intuitive Mindset & Success Coach, she is passionate about helping others to transform their lives through this work, break patterns, uncover their power, create a life they love, and truly know they are worthy of all good things. Kelly-Anne was one of 47 women who were successful in bringing their abuser to justice in the largest case of non-residential sexual abuse by a Catholic priest in North America. She has spoken at a number of events and her story was highlighted in an episode of the CBC The Fifth Estate entitled “The Good Father”. Kelly-Anne has been an outspoken advocate for the rights of survivors and continues to work to empower and inspire women. Her story will soon be published in the collaborative book, She Is Worthy. As a trained leader through One Circle Foundation, she currently hosts a Women’s Circle in her hometown, a space where women’s souls are fed and filled up by the love, support and energy of the women around them.In this episode we discuss: 1) The process, experience and power of shame and how it can be such a block that keeps us stuck in our story. Shame also showed up in the emotions of anger, resentment, and frustration and it affected every relationship in her life. Kelly-Anne does an incredible job of speaking about shame, the power of our voices, and how our story can truly help one person and that can change everything for that person. 2) Recognizing the difference between advice and council. Advice tends to come from people who are not doing the things that we want to do or not living the life we want to live. Council represents the people you respect individually, who they are, what they are going through and how we can learn so much from them. 3) Forgiveness is a decision that we are making, not a feeling that we have. Embracing forgiveness is about us choosing what we get to carry, what is supporting us and how we choose to live our lives.

Is Perfectionism Stopping You? 06/17/2022

Is Perfectionism Stopping You? In this episode I am talking about perfectionism and how it is a 20-ton block that we hold onto to keep ourselves “safe, protected and we believe unaffected by the potential opinions and judgements of others.” As Brene Brown says, “If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, I can avoid or minimize criticism or blame.” Perfectionism is a learned behaviour that typically comes from childhood and a lot of times it is a block that we use to keep ourselves from being hurt, yet all it is doing is keeping us from being seen. In this episode we discuss: 1) I am a recovering perfectionist and perfectionism/fighter is one of the 4 blocks I refer to when it comes to owning our stories. The others are victim, hider and people pleaser. If you want to take the free Blocks to Owning Your Story Quiz, 2) I used to wear perfectionism as a badge of honour, thinking it was because I was a striver, I worked hard, I had a level of excellence that I expected of myself. When actually healthy striving is self-focused in “how can I improve”, whereas perfectionism is other focused, “what will they think”? I wanted others to see that I could do x,y,z, and it also allowed me to fly under the radar from a young age, and not be the source of issues, problems, or growing up long before I needed to. I thought this pressure was helping me and it did for many reasons, until it didn’t 3) This became a very self-destructive pattern of behaviour that literally blew up once we started dealing with teen substance abuse and I was living the complete opposite of a perfect life. “When perfectionism is driving us, then shame is riding shotgun and fear is that annoying backseat driver.” Brene Brown. I was living in shame, feeling not good enough, feeling that I didn't want to be seen, yet all I deeply craved was connection and being seen 4) This pattern went on repeat until I couldn’t do it any longer. It no longer worked and I was blocking myself from being seen, from receiving support, from connection, from the people who have since impacted my life, and from setting up for the work I am doing now. I learned how to shift this through the writing process. There are no authors published who are perfectionists, it’s not doable. As soon as I set down my shield, I was able to live my life, truly live it. I am not sure where I would be if I didn't because the research shows that perfectionism is the path to depression, anxiety, addiction and life paralysis.

The Impact of Calming Your Nervous System with Dr. Amy Novotny 06/16/2022

The Impact of Calming Your Nervous System with Dr. Amy Novotny In this episode I am speaking with the Founder, Doctor of physical therapy, nervous system and breath coach, author, and speaker, Dr. Amy Novotny. Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications while improving focus, attention, energy, strength and performance. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method. Her ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate with and help various clients from all around the world, including France, Mexico, Central America and South America. She has a variety of interests including running 40+ marathons, running 10 ultra marathons (including two 100 milers), completing an Ironman triathlon, and photographing wildlife and landscapes all over the world which has led to several of her images being chosen as Photos of the Day, most notably National Geographic Your Shot World Top Photo of the Day. In this episode we discuss: 1) Learning to understand our nervous system, how to see when it is regulated and when it isn't, what that looks like, the effect it has on all of our relationships and how to take the small, consistent steps to learn how to regulate it. 2) The pain our body can trap for years, the inability of the body to pull back from our nervous system responses and how persistent increasing stress levels, only exacerbates our body's response to pain. 3) The process of learning how to let go, allowing our body to stabilize, then let go again and stabilize. This process of letting go and creating stability also allows our body to find a neutral state to return to instead of constantly rebounding between the two extremes.

The Power of Your Voice 06/13/2022

The Power of Your Voice The Power of Your VoiceIn this episode, I am sharing some thoughts and misconceptions when it comes to “finding your voice”. You actually don’t need to find your voice. You haven’t lost it or never had it, you haven’t used it because you are waiting to feel confident, to trust it or to find a way to avoid criticism or judgments from others who might disagree with your message. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Action breeds confidence. The only way to start to build confidence is to get into action. Let it be messy, not perfect, this is how you let others see you, how you build confidence, create feedback and then re-ajust and course correct. 2) Your voice is unique. Your message is unique. When we give into the fear, we are honestly playing a story and making it about us. When we can step outside of ourselves and see what we can do, how our message can help others, we can work through our fears of what will others think. 3) I have to bring HD (human design) into this conversation. If you have not had an HD assessment, I strongly encourage you to dive in. The throat center is all about expression and manifesting. I will be diving into more content on the throat and the spleen (our center for intuition) because as we are diving into all of the content for the HOW method, Healing, Owning and Writing your story, it has become more apparent how we have to learn more about who we are and find our own unique way to work through our fears of using our voice.

These lessons at this time in our world are so important for kids to find and create that inner safety within themselves. 2) How much of a gift vulnerability is and what we can experience when we learn to put the armour down, even when it is scary, and learning how to put the armour down with the people that we trust and the people who have earned the right to hear our stories. 3) The difference between being in our stories and in our stories and learning how to let go of shame, stories that don’t serve us, being connected to our why’s and the power of allowing ourselves to simply be in this present moment.

Savage Surrender with SaraMae Hollandsworth 06/03/2022

Savage Surrender with SaraMae Hollandsworth Today we are speaking with SaraMae Hollandsworth. SaraMae is a Wellness Executive + Entrepreneur, Physical + Spiritual Fitness Expert, Double Certified Health Coach & Personal Trainer, Speaker, Writer, and Athlete. SaraMae Hollandsworth had over 20 years of experience as a health and fitness expert and entrepreneur. She is a high-performance athlete and trainer who suffered a near-life-ending infection that landed her in life support and in a coma and ultimately caused her to have both legs amputated below the knees. Her story is one of rising from rock bottom and near-death to rebuild her life better, stronger, healthier, and happier than before. To repurpose her pain into power, purpose, and potential. She is committed to using her story to help others heal, thrive, and fulfill their God-given purpose. In this episode we discuss: 1) How we are co-creators and creators of our life and we can create change when we embody this thinking and perspective. Sitting and waiting for life to change on its own is literally giving away our power to our circumstances and taking ourselves out of the driver’s seat from creating life-changing results. 2) The concept of “Savage Surrender”, forgiveness, letting go, and what a spiritual awakening can actually look like. It isn’t a beautiful or peaceful awakening. In fact, it can be a messy wake-up call full of loud, banging music and noises that are disruptive. Embracing all of it, especially the messy parts is the path to creating lasting change. 3) The concepts of healing generational trauma, how that work can be so heavy and challenging, yet some of us are called into this space because we are truly the ones to break that cycle. 4) The best is yet to come. When we stay in this headspace and energy we show up for our lives being in the driver’s seat and open to receiving the messages meant for us, and anchor in the knowledge that we can create whatever we desire in our lives.

Be Loyal to Yourself First 05/30/2022

Learning to Bless the Things You Once Resented 05/27/2022

Learning to Bless the Things You Once Resented In this episode, I want to share a mindset shift or an awareness that I had this past week. It is about the things that we resent or resist and looking at the energy that we are wasting sitting in these emotions. What if these are the things we even despise of ourselves and we are holding onto that resentment. It is a weight that is holding us down, keeping us stuck in the same cycle of energy and frustration. We will never create change in this cycle. The circumstances and situations that made us who we are, are exactly the things we are being called to appreciate and be grateful for? What if these things are the actual things we must learn to love, respect, and appreciate about ourselves. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) When you ask different questions, you get different answers. You cannot love yourself and hate all of the stories that made you who you are. It doesn’t work that way. Sometimes the perspective shift is so one simple question that changes everything. 2) What if the things you have grown to resent, resist, and maybe even despise of yourself, are actually the things that you must learn to love, respect, and appreciate about yourself. This is such a powerful shift in our mindset. 3) This always takes me back to the Rebecca Campbell quote, “Bless the thing that cracked you open, because now more than ever, the world needs you open.” This is the work that we do in Owning Your Story, and the result is a new level of healing, freedom, certainty, confidence, and purpose that is impossible to describe. 4) What is one thing you can look at in yourself, something that you once resented that you might be able to look at differently?

Creating a Global Impact and Movement with Bettina Carey 05/26/2022

Creating a Global Impact and Movement with Bettina Carey In this episode, I am speaking with Coach and Speaker, Bettina Carey. Bettina, the diminutive 4' 9-1/2" Latina, inspires and empowers women to create BIG RESULTS. They break through, no shatter, their earnings glass ceiling, kick self-imposed limitations to the curb and live their legacies now. Whether she's coaching from a live or virtual stage or conferring with a small cohort of bold women or men on the rise across a conference table, her championship, strategies, and straight talk compel women and men to find a whole new gear to succeed beyond their wildest dreams. Bettina's forthcoming book, "Shattering Your Own Glass Ceiling: Unlocking Your Inner Power & Hidden Potential with Your Master Key, is being written during Covid 19. Stay tuned for the release date...In this episode we discuss: 1) Bettina’s vulnerable story and how her experience, combined with her drive to make an impact with others, and the shift in the pandemic, opened to door to allow her business to expand globally. 2) Bettina shared many analogies, mantras, and phrases that help her to shift at the moment, one being that she decided these last two years would be her Inspirmental years (Inspiring and Mentoring) and this has become the basis for her business that she's continuing to build. 3) Bettina’s lesson in life that she is most grateful for is learning how to find gratitude in the present moment, that is truly the only moment we have. This made me reference the quote by Lao Tzu “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.” Connect with BettinaLinkedIn: Facebook: Website: How to connect with Bettina’s work Marsha Vanwynsberghe — Author, Speaker and Life CoachMarsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.

Healing is An Ongoing Journey 05/23/2022

Healing is An Ongoing Journey In this episode, I dive into some thoughts on healing and how we can support ourselves more in the healing journey. I also share some ideas on how healing has to come first before we think about sharing our stories. Learning to share your story from a healed space is when we shift from anger, resentment, and blaming others to taking ownership, living at the cause, embodying the lessons and turning pain into purpose. This is the beginning of creating an impact, a ripple effect, and rewriting your story. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How to recognize when our nervous system is off, recognize when we are not listening to what our bodies need, make healing a priority, and recognize that healing isn't a task, it's a practice, and it is not a linear line. 2) Healing is a lifelong process. Healing meets you where you're at to help empower you throughout your life story. 3) When we undergo healing, we are more equipped to help others heal since we are going through the process. We can speak from places of love and light more thoroughly instead of just areas of trauma and despair. The stages of healing move from grief and denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. 4) In general, recovery is the ability to live in the present without being overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the past. When we learn to respond differently and not react to everything around us, we are active in our healing process.

Moving from Shame to Vulnerability 04/25/2022

Moving from Shame to Vulnerability In this episode, we are discussing the taboo topic of shame. It is one of those topics that we need to add a voice to and as soon as we do, shame loses its power. In today’s episode we are talking all about shame, how it has a power in our lives, and how when we speak about shame, give it a voice, learn how to heal it and support ourselves through the healing process we will find our way to vulnerability which can be the bridge to move to continued healing In this episode we discuss: 1) Shame stories, what we deem as shame, how it keeps us stuck and isolated, paralyzing in our lives, blocking us from people, experiences and opportunities, and how we can change this story when we embrace healing. We heal ourselves and up to 7 generations forwards and backwards. To heal our shame stories, it requires us to heal our past, our emotions, our choices, embracing forgiveness, and realizing that our stories only ever have the meaning that we give them. 2) Committing to the healing process helps us to find our voice. The more we find our voice, and use our voice the more we will trust our voice, 3) How vulnerability is a method to release shame, give shame a voice and how to determine who has earned the right to hear our stories. This is the path to connection and the people who are meant to be in our lives. 4) Brené Brown describes vulnerability as "uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure." It's that unstable feeling we get when we step out of our comfort zone or do something that forces us to loosen control. This is the path to building our connections to others.
