Whisper launched in April 2022 and hit bestseller in multiple hot new release categories. Today I am sharing a few short passages from the book and celebrating all of the authors for sharing so bravely. You can buy Whisper on Amazon OR you can still order a signed copy from me directly.

I know first hand how impactful your physical space can be on your ability to heal and so when Ala from MindfulSpacesbyAla connected on Instagram I wanted to learn more! She teaches women how to simplify and how to do far more than declutter their spaces although that is a priority. I loved our conversation on mindful spending, emotional healing and simplifying and I think you will take something away that you are meant to hear today.

This episode is a very special one - Allie works with entrepreneurs helping them sink into their essence and higher selves - I have had the pleasure of working with and interviewing some of her clients here on this podcast and its a stellar client list trust me! I believe there is so much power for women who don't run their own business to take these messages of trust, belief in yourself and using tools like manifestation, surrender, meditation and human design to find momentum and ease in their careers!

Covid really messed up our plans and we don't talk about that enough! Rachel owned a thriving co-working space pre pandemic in Toronto and she had to pivot massively - which she did and gracefully I may add. Now, this girl is Getting Sh!t done in new ways and she is helping others do it too. I loved this convo... past, present and future Make Lemonade stories and updates. Everything you need to connect, follow and take part in what Rachel is up to can be found here https://www.makelemonade.ca/Tag us both online from whereever you listen!

Amanda Evans is passionate about supporting children and families to be their happiest and healthiest selves! Her own healing journey taught her so much about the extraordinary healing powers of play, love, and connection. She is dedicated to helping people take their health and happiness into their own hands, believing in their own magic and the power to heal from within.Her work as a Kindergarten teacher (and recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser) taught her so much about how we need to be able to fill our own cups and feel safe, loved, accepted and connected in order to help children to do the same. She uses her teaching background, her experience supporting children with exceptionalities along with her own personal experience healing from a brain injury to help support others with invisible “disabilities” (or better yet...SUPERPOWERS!).Her first book - Eat, Play, Love - is out now and can be purchased hereEverything about Amanda's services and how to follow her is here - https://www.mindbodysoulmiracles.com/

I have been having so many conversations on Human Design lately and I was so excited when Laura said she was in for the podcast as I knew I needed to bring this discussion and knowledge to all of you. Laura is a mom, a corporate professional and an entrepreneur. She is HD certified and she has a talent for helping women integrate their unique Human Design blueprint into how they operate at work orin their own business. This is next level stuff – this is how you feel seen and understood on a deep and profound level. Things you do that irritate someone close to you or even YOU – will suddenly seem to make more sense and through digging into this work you will know how to leverage them and use them for good! I cannot wait for you to lean into this and hope that some of you reach out to Laura directly and give yourself the gift of learning about your design profile.
