Conversation with Jeanne -Marie Mudd, Spiritual Director at Canyon Ranch Woodside
Join me in an interesting and revealing conversation with the wonderful Jeanne - Marie from Canyon Ranch Woodside. We discuss transformation, healing, spirituality, transitions in life and how the CRW experience opens the door for all of this exploration. Whew! Definitely on the deeper side and so worth discussing! I had the pleasure of staying at the Woodside property in June 2023, and I can say honestly that it was transformative! There’s something about the woods, stream, the center itself, people, services, food and overall vibration of CRW that invites a deeper understanding of your purpose and dreams. When you go...

We Get What We Settle For
People Pleasing. Putting everyone’s needs before your own. Saying yes out of guilt or obligation or pressure. Settling for less due to fear, lack of confidence, or for others needs. I’m guilty of all of this. And because I’ve lost the life I had, and there’s a new one being created - I’m acutely aware of how my mind is working to talk me into jobs, places to live, environments, friendships and more as a way to make something happen and just settle, because “it’s better than nothing “. No more. I didn’t lose it all to rebuild...

Limbic Retraining Can Help Heal You
In this episode, I provide a basic explanation of how limbic retraining is at least 50% of your healing toolbox when you suffer from toxic mold exposure, detox, and resulting Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). It was pioneered by Annie Hopper in a practice she developed called DNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System). My doctor who correctly diagnosed me on Oct 2021 said that limbic retraining will be just as important to healing as meds, supplements, binders, nutrition, exercise and other detox treatments. While Annie Hopped is the first to develop a practice that has helped thousands with chronic illness, there are many...

Wait, YOU are on a Carnivore Diet?
Yes, as a yoga instructor and practitioner with a very "healthy" lifestyle, I've been driven to a carnivore diet not by choice but by necessity. Due to toxic mold exposure for over 7.5 years, which was hidden in my very expensive rental in Marin County, CA, I developed mast cell activation which is when the immune system goes into overdrive. Inhaling mycotoxins (mold spores) for many years lead to mold colonizing my microbiome (gut), which has created a leaky gut and lead to a chronic illness response. Leaky gut basically sets you up for food intolerances that seem inconceivable and...

Find Community as an Entrepreneur
As entrepreneurs, it’s very common to feel isolated, overwhelmed, discouraged and alone with the ups and downs of owning a business. It can also be difficult to find other people who truly understand the entrepreneurial journey. Community with other entrepreneurs, even if they have very different businesses than yours, is of utmost importance in staying motivated, encouraged, and inspired along the way. Wellness as an entrepreneur includes community with other like minded people where you can share the challenges, joys, insights and struggles with a group that gets it!

Update: Toxic Mold Exposure + Mast Cell Activation Journey
I was diagnosed with mast cell activation due to toxic mold exposure in October 2021, nearly 3 years after I presented with my first symptom. What started out as migraines (no prior history), morphed into nearly 30 separate symptoms that affected every organ and system in my body. I spent all of 2019, 2020 and most of 2021 seeing more than 20 different doctors, functional MD's, specialists, and naturopathic doctors - none of whom could figure out what was causing me to go from 100% healthy to totally disabled. Over the course of 3 years, I had 3 MRI exams, every blood draw you could imagine, cat...

Create Happiness in Your Life
As most of you know, I listen to a lot of podcasts. The Mel Robbins show has been on rotation consistently over the last month for me, as her content is all about behavior change and motivation. One of her recent episodes is on happiness and it was eye opening. Did you know there's two different forms of happiness or that only 20% of how happy you are is genetic? How about the fact that 40% of your happiness is within YOUR control? This means that we have so much choice around how happy we want to be. Listen to this...

Calm + Ground Yourself with these 3 Practices
Yesterday, I learned 3 simple practices that take almost no time at all to ground ourselves, calm the nervous system, and shift mindset. This is important because so many of us are entrepreneurs with a million things to do, not enough time to do it, and feel overwhelmed, stressed and harried as we try to get it all done (ourselves). I actually learned about this through listening to another great podcast by Amy Porterfield, who is literally the queen of online marketing and course creation. She was interviewing Gabby Bernstein (motivational and spiritual speaker, author) about how to reduce feelings...

Boundaries for Entrepreneurs
I had a conversation the other day with an entrepreneur who is also a friend, and we were discussing how being an entrepreneur bleeds into every area of your life - including spending time with your children. For parents, there's guilt usually around how much time is dedicated to the business and missing out on the limited time we have until children are out of the house. We want to be there for the sports, the plays, the dentist appointments, for drop off and pick up, to hear about their day, to spend time after school with them helping...

My Journey with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Have you heard of hormone replacement therapy? Chances are you have, especially if you are of a certain age. But for me, I lost all of my hormone production due to radiation / chemotherapy when I was 39 due to colon cancer. I went from totally hormonally healthy to absolutely no hormones overnight! This is not normal. It's not healthy. And it has serious consequences for quality of life when people are told not to go on HRT and replenish these very needed hormones! There are serious consequences for your mood, appetite, sexual functional, cognitive and all other systems in the body...

For wellness practice #5, I want to draw your attention to the content you are consuming and the community you surround yourself with! It really matters. How you might ask? Because it affects our energy, our mindset and our thoughts around motivation/inspiration. Life and business can be incredibly challenging, sometimes we need a mindset shift.

Work ON Your Business, Not IN It
One of the biggest mistakes I see with entrepreneurs is working in the business, instead of ON it. I typically get a look of confusion when I say this to clients, and I'm not excused from this - I've done it too. It's when you are doing everything in your business, instead of working on the future of it. Being the visionary. Doing the things in your business that you love to do. When you work in the business instead of on it, you get burnt out, exhausted, negative about your work and more times then not, self care...

Journaling - Wellness Practice #2
Journaling is a way of getting the thoughts out of your head, on the endless loop, onto a page where you can read them, think about them, and maybe find a recurring theme. That's important because it will give you insight into your own thinking and belief systems. Insights and awareness are key to creating new ways of thinking that serve you, implement a creative idea that keeps coming to you, or allow you to improve relationships....the list is endless. I've journaled since I was 15, so over 30 years - and I find it's incredibly cathartic, as well as...

What Stage 3 Cancer Taught Me at 39
About 10 years ago @ 39, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer. Yes, you read that right - I was 39 years old. Not 50, which is when they start screening people for colon cancer. I had no genetic history, no one in my family or even extended family, had this sort of cancer diagnosis. It was a fluke. I was unlucky. This culminated in a year of treatment in 2012, involving radiation, chemo, and surgery. This left my immune system weakened, although I survived. And although this was a horrible year (I don't believe in sugar coating), it also carved within me a...

I Should Have Died in 2021: Mysterious Illness Journey
Vulnerable sharing episode! This was hard for me to share, and yet it's such a critical part of my growth and life story, that I needed to put it out there in the hopes that it will not only motivate you to move on that next dream/idea/goal NOW, but also if you find yourself in the same situation, that you get help more quickly than I did. This is my story of how I went from super, ultra healthy yoga instructor/consultant with a full social life and my own business raising my tee...

Great Challenges - How I Cope
How do you cope when a devastating, life changing event completely disrupts your life on every level for 3 years? We all have ways in which we heal, cope, find support, move through, and hopefully, overcome challenge. For many of us, it's fitness/wellness practices and that's the reason we became instructors/providers and/or opened a business in this space. It was SO life changing when we needed a life change! But what happens when all of your coping habits (hiking, spin, skiing, yoga, social events, travel) get taken away SUDDENLY through no fault of your...

Motivation Monday: Start Your Morning Well
When was the last time you started your morning with a stream of positive thoughts? Are you aware of what you are thinking, as you are thinking it, when you look in the mirror? Honestly, life is so busy it's difficult sometimes to notice what we are saying to ourselves all day, every day. Especially as we are looking in the mirror getting ready for our day, it's pretty common to have a loop of thoughts that are less than helpful. What a way to begin your morning! Our thoughts affect our...

Are you a people pleaser? Do you find yourself giving and giving to others until you feel totally depleted?

Operations Series: Pricing
The very starting point of succeeding as a business owner is how you price your services. More often than not, you came up with your pricing by looking at other businesses and copying their list. This is NOT how you price a service based business, and 99% of the time, the business you mimicked is priced wrong too! Common Mistakes: Too many options Cheap or free drop ins Pricing is confusing (the math doesn't work) Membership too expensive No membership Intro not "irresistible" or not enough time (less than 4 weeks for...

Are you a people pleaser? Do you constantly take the temperature of the room? Try to help, rescue and uplift each person you are in relationship with? Maybe say things you think the other person wants to hear so you'll be accepted? Always available? Never say no? This is very common for helpers, healers, highly empathetic, sensitive people and it's also a quality that can be part of a family culture. It's not the healthiest dynamic in a relationship. How uncomfortable is it to acknowledge that it's a way of relating to other people? ...

Work ON Your Business, Not IN Your Business
One of the big delusions entrepreneurs buy into is that opening a business is the key to freedom. You might think that you'll get to focus and have the freedom to finally do what you want, in a space that's yours, without a boss or that "corporate" environment so to speak. Instead, you find that owning a business quickly makes you realize that you've now strangely become the chief marketer, salesperson, human resources manager, janitor, instructor/provider, people manager, and administrative/software guru OVERNIGHT. This leads to burnout, overwhelm, disillusionment, lack of success in just a few mo...

Intuition Insight with Nicole Chetaud
Intuition is defined as “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.” Other words associated with Intuition is clairvoyance, sixth sense, a gut feeling. Intuition is something that is not tangible and oftentimes unexplainable. This is probably why many shy away from it or ignore it or turn it off, but I, like many others have come to listen and trust our intuition. And we’re so grateful for it. In this episode we’re talking with Nicole Chetaud, who trusted her intuition which led to the saving of her daughter’s life and a thrivin...
