Beyond This RealityWhat We’ve Been Taught About Pain is Not Correct!Hi My name is Tracy and I used to be addicted to pain.
This is actually true in some ways…
My entire job revolved around pain as a Chiropractor and helping people manage it is a part of health right? Well we talked about health last week…
I also realized I was taught to make pain significant and that pain was bad, wrong, evil and had to be managed, or dealt with. My job as a doctor was to ‘do’ something (and most times figure out how to fight the pain) by identifying the anat...

Spirit of Success120: Realizing Self Mastery Using A Sword“Self-mastery means developing a sense of who you are, what you can do, where you are going, coupled with the ability to influence your communication, emotions, and behavior on the way to getting there." (Bryant, Kazan 2012).
The road to self-mastery starts with self-awareness!
Self-awareness means being aware of ourselves. Knowing our strengths, weaknesses, triggers, our beliefs, values, and tendencies. If you listen to the podcast, you know that I have talked about awareness quite a bit.
In today’s episode, I talk with my neighbor, Dov, who has studied martial arts for over 50 years, and invited me to watch a Japan...
2022-03-2841 minSpirit of Success119: Tuning In To Your Sensing MeterHave you noticed how you feel after you interact with others? For instance, do you feel excited and energized or perhaps drained and depleted? There is a frequency in how you connect with others…it’s our internal sensing meter and we all have it. Although, sometimes we don’t pay attention to it or simply forget that we have it.
In relationships, we can subconsciously gravitate towards people that are experiencing the same emotions as we are…the good, the bad, and the ugly! A problem can arise when this turns into a dependency on our suffering where we find othe...
2022-03-2418 minSpirit of Success118: Do You Know That You Are Abundant? (Yes You)Sometimes we tend to shortchange ourselves - if I don’t have money then I am not abundant.
But is that true?
In our society, with our attention being taken in multiple directions, we sometimes forget that we as humans are abundant. We have the ability to give our full presence and attention to people
Sometimes, I forget that people want to be seen and heard
When you can focus on helping someone else, something magical happens - you forget that you are stressed out. I had this experience when I just wanted to help someone who was hungry to ch...
2022-03-2316 minSpirit of Success117: Talking To The Part of You That KnowsI don’t know about you but I used to wait for a difficult event to happen before I would allow myself to change or have a personal transition. But I found that this was truly exhausting and it just didn’t need to be. I want to share with you some things that I learned in regards to this — as change does not have to be hard.
There are times when we can feel as if we are at a crossroads and just don’t know which way to go but there is always a part of you that trul...
2022-03-2217 minSpirit of Success114: Making Cracks In The Glass to See Yourself Differently with Christina PopovicTransformation is possible for everyone. The key is surrendering and allowing the process to happen. It takes making the decision to overcome…overcome, overcome, until you become someone else.
My guest Christina and I talk about the day we met and the instant connection we had. It was at a Gina DeVee event (if you don’t know who Gina is, you can read more about her here) and my soul felt drawn to her. I knew I had to meet her as she had this energy, this essence about her.
I was very much led by spirit to hol...
2022-03-2151 minSpirit of Success116: Listen to This If You Want To Change QuicklyHello Listeners! I just wanted to express my gratitude for you being here for Season 3!
For the final episode of this season, I wanted to give you some take home tips if you want to change
Here are some of the basics: you feel heavy and stuck because you are experiencing survival emotions. They are familiar to you because you experienced them as a child. Our brains didn’t have the analytical facilities to know that what we were experiencing was not the only thing in the World.
And you survived your childhood so oddly enough that is...
2022-03-1621 minSpirit of Success115: Thoughts Create Feelings and Feelings Create ThoughtsI am sharing with you today more information and detail about our topic in yesterday’s episode, childhood trauma. Which has become more mainstream these days, especially through this pandemic.
In dealing with the trauma we develop core wounds and those wounds create an emotional branding that keeps us tied to the past. And this can oddly feel safe because it’s all we know and is familiar which can keep us recreating the same experiences over and over.
I believe it’s so important to stop just talking about your past but instead step into your future and unc...
2022-03-1519 minSpirit of Success115: Are You Storing Emotions in the Basement?OK, we are broaching the topic of childhood trauma as this often comes up in my clarity calls and in working with my clients. It’s definitely becoming more common in life discussions.
When a person experiences trauma, a certain part of their brain takes over that triggers the “fight or flight” response meant to protect us from danger.
We can often hold trauma in and not talk about it or we can get stuck in a pattern and let it define us…but the emotions will catch up to us and resurface.
Trauma isn't something you can just ge...
2022-03-1416 minSpirit of Success113: The 3 Traits to Include In Your LifeYou know from yesterday’s episode that I talked about emotional latency periods. What I saw modeled for me was long emotional latency periods and I thought that was normal..
When fear, anger, resentments, hatred, are in your face, they can seem so real! I didn’t know that I could do anything about them and I would go through periods of being conscious and then being a victim again
In order to get out of this loop and create consistency, I turned to my spiritual connection. I have connected to source and 3 traits of this powerful energy beca...
2022-03-0916 minSpirit of Success112: The Thing Everyone Should KnowDo you know what motivates you to do anything?
It’s a feeling!
The end product of any experience is an emotion
Emotions run the show in a sense because our emotional state affects our thoughts and our thoughts affect our emotions
However, it's our emotions that keep us tied to the past - through something called an emotional latency period. Basically if you do not know how to self regulate, the emotion will go unprocessed and create havoc in your life. We just adjust to that havoc over time
But you know from time to t...
2022-03-0815 minSpirit of Success111: Awareness of Your Emotional State is the KeyI am so excited to announce that Season 4 of the podcast is in the works and will be dropping soon. See, the podcast reflects the different seasons of my life and I have entered a new season, hence Season 4 coming. 😊
We all go through reinvention periods in our life, knowingly or unknowingly, but sometimes what can be missing in the process is creating a habit in order to use it anytime you want to reinvent yourself.
Last week, I talked about healing and heart coherence. And I’ve been researching spontaneous healings much like when I healed my ‘nose pro...
2022-03-0716 minSpirit of Success110: Double Down on Your Inner GameMiracles are all around us if we are open to seeing them, if we are in our heart space, and if we stay intentional.
I believe that intentionality is so important for staying in your heart space which can be so healing.
I am putting into practice being intentional when I meditate. Our minds tend to wander and our bodies want to get up and do something else. But I have been very intentional at keeping my body very still and being 100% IN the meditation.
The silliest thing happened today while meditating and it made me want to...
2022-03-0317 minSpirit of Success109: Why You Want To Keep Your Heart OpenI am so excited to share a story with you today. In taking part in global healing sessions over the weekend the topic of coherence came up. Now, I’m not talking about the quality of being logical, I’m talking about heart rhythm.
What is a coherent heart rhythm you ask? I go in depth about it in the episode, but essentially there are measurements to see if you are in rhythm which helps get you into your heart space or open up your heart chakra.
I did an experiment with a machine I purchased that does thes...
2022-03-0217 minSpirit of Success108: Spread Love Through ConflictThere is so much going on in the world and I’ve always been a person that wanted to save people. So, I could easily go down a rabbit hole and spin out with everything happening.
But instead, I wanted to take a moment to check in on you. How are you? How’s your heart?
You know, it took diving into the personal development industry and working on myself to learn that I am not responsible for anyone but me…to truly understand that I cannot save anyone else.
I definitely have compassion and empathy for anyone...
2022-03-0119 minSpirit of Success107: When Pursuing Your Passion Meets Partnering with Your Dad with Jamie and Jacklyn PurvisHave you ever felt that you are in a job simply for the paycheck? Or that you love what you do but not the company you work for? Well, what if you followed your passion and found yourself in business with your father. For Jacklyn, it was an assessment of who she was and who she wanted to become (and knowing that accepting anything other than pursuing her passion was not OK) that led her to partner with her dad.
I am very excited to have this duo on the podcast today to talk about their journey of getting...
2022-02-2845 minSpirit of Success106: Aligning Your Beliefs With Your DesiresAs I’ve touched on before, our beliefs are instilled in us when we are young based on what was taught to us or modeled for us.
As we become older we start to have dreams and desires and when we are of the age to make those come true, we can often be conflicted if those desires don’t match what we believe.
So, what to do when this happens? Well, most of us just shove the desire down and put it out of our mind because there is a mis-match and the belief wins.
But…what if y...
2022-02-2423 minSpirit of Success105: You Can’t Outsource Your FocusLet’s talk about distractions. There are a lot of things clamoring for our attention on a daily basis. TV, news, ads, social media…and this can make it difficult to quiet our minds to concentrate on the things we want rather than on the things that want us.
Giving in to all the noise and focusing on a million things actually keeps us from focusing on the one thing we actually want.
Once you are able to focus on the things you desire, it can be a game changer. Choose the one that’s most important and concentr...
2022-02-2315 minSpirit of Success104: Make Everyday Your BirthdayHave you ever felt that when your birthday comes around that you lived the best year you could have?
Think about what that would feel like…you being present in each day and making the most of it that you feel you truly lived that year.
We tend to plan a lot in our lives — plan when X happens, I will do Y. So we wait for that milestone birthday, or until we have enough money, or when we retire, or when…fill in the blank.
Now it’s important to have goals, but it’s also important t...
2022-02-2216 minSpirit of Success103: Graduating a Dream 20 Years Early with Halle SimpsonAre you aware that your attachment to time could mean that you are pushing your manifestations away?
One of the secrets of manifesting your desires is learning how to collapse time. See, as humans, we tend to put timelines on things like, when I retire I will start to travel more. But, you can let go of the need and security that timeline may give you and create a new timeline where you look at the future and experience it NOW.
I had a great conversation with Halle where she did just this. Instead of waiting for a c...
2022-02-2141 minSpirit of Success102: How To Live an Enriching Life Without RegretsWe often have things in life that we desire but our beliefs don’t match that…it’s a mismatch that can cause tension and have us running away from what we really want. So, our desires become hurdles to overcome.
But what if I told you that’s actually a good thing? I know you’re probably thinking I’m crazy, how can it possibly be a good thing to have mental obstacles over the things we want in life!
Okay hear me out, you have a choice — to push your wants aside and live a life of regrets or...
2022-02-1717 minSpirit of Success102: The Greatest Birthday PresentIt’s my birthday and I am saying out loud “Happy Birthday to me”! The greatest birthday gift I’ve been able to give myself is a new lease on life. I am able to make myself a priority and that wasn’t easy to do - it involved deconditioning from old patterns. I believe it is necessary in order to give the best of ourselves to others.
One of those patterns was about unconditional love. There can be two sides to unconditional love. One side, where you put your needs on the back burner by putting someone else’s needs befo...
2022-02-1616 minSpirit of Success101: Who’s Directing Your Life?I was reflecting on my wonderful discussion with Analena Fuchs, my guest on the podcast yesterday, and I wanted to dig in more about deconditioning that we touched on in that conversation.
What is deconditioning, you ask? It is the reversal of previous conditioning of a behavior. What we were told and taught at a very young age goes into our subconscious mind and we learn certain behaviors.
Did you know that our subconscious minds direct 95%+ of our lives? Most things we do and say come from a place we are not even aware of! And this conditioning i...
2022-02-1517 minSpirit of Success100: The Ticket to Being You with Analena FuchsRemember as a kid when you were free to be ALL of yourself?
When did we lose that courage and freedom to express ourselves like that?
What if there was an amazing tool to help you accept and be more of yourself?
Well I found a tool called Human Design through Analena! If you don’t know what Human Design is - its based on your birthdate and ancient traditions (such as the I-Ching, Chakra Systems & Quantum Physics)
The things you have questioned about yourself and wondered if there was something wrong with you…there’s not and...
2022-02-1443 minSpirit of Success99: Unlocking Answers Comes From WithinI have been talking a lot about alignment and purpose after learning of the passing of my mentor, Bob Proctor. And today, I am talking about your relationship with yourself. Bob showed me the importance of what is happening in your external world is a reflection of what is happening in your internal world.
Our bodies hold onto our emotions and can show up as physical pain. I saw a lot of this as a chiropractor and realized that what most of my patients needed was a way to deal with their inner turmoil.
In dealing with my ow...
2022-02-1018 minSpirit of Success98: Living On PurposeI believe everyone is here for a reason and when we can accept that, we can start to take steps towards our purpose. For me, finding that inner alignment that I spoke about in yesterday’s episode, led me to my purpose.
Did you know that alignment always gets expressed!?
Bob Proctor taught me this and I saw this first hand with a client Chantel that I can never forget - I literally saw her body language change from being depressed to literally being excited and filled with happiness
I wouldn’t have believed it at that time...
2022-02-0915 minSpirit of Success97: True Alignment is Always a Felt SenseToday I am honoring my mentor, Bob Proctor, who recently passed away. I speak about how he really impacted my life. He taught me so many things and one that was eye opening is that alignment is a felt sense, it comes from internal not external.
I talk about how being aligned internally has helped me face so many things in my life…wanting to learn new things, how to stay calm in moments of chaos and having the strength to let go.
As a Chiropractor, I worked with patients to help them with their alignment by giving them...
2022-02-0815 minSpirit of Success96: Bring Yourself Wherever You GoContinuing the conversation from yesterday’s episode of knowing where you are. We are all on this path called life and some of us can have blindfolds on and just can’t see the path ahead.
Ram Dass would say, “Be where your feet are”. It sounds so simple, right? Of course we are where our feet are but what he meant was being aware of where you are. You can physically be in a space but your mind can be somewhere else completely.
I share how obstacles in life can affect our awareness of where we are and can st...

I share with you a new experience I created for myself based on my intuition that changed many beliefs at the same time (& I didn’t tell anyone I was doing it because it was ‘crazy’)
The next tip my mentor shared with me that really landed was to start where you are. He told me that most people screw this s...

We have been talking about trust, self trust and intuition a lot on this podcast recently and in my last solo episode I gave you an unconventional idea to connect to the space you are living in.
Guess what? You resonated with your space for a reason, and you can put these topics to work by trying out what I suggested and find out for yourself!
I love this and chose it...
2022-02-0116 minSpirit of Success92: Grounding Down to Open UpIn today's episode, I share an unconventional tip of how to connect to your intuition - I lay it all bare for you here and tell you about an intimate experience I had last year! This experience was one of the springboard moments for me making the leap and traveling for the rest of the year.
Like I said, it's unconventional - so I am not sure what to even write. Do me a favor with this one and listen to it. I promise it’s something actionable that you can do today 😉
And then please, do let me kn...
2022-01-2718 minSpirit of Success91: Intuition is the Gateway to Your Authentic SelfIn this episode I will be talking about listening to what your body is telling you and tapping into your intuition. How that intuition can lead us to know more of ourselves, how connecting to your intuition can, in turn, connect you to others and how listening to your intuition can make life easier instead of trying to rationalize everything.
I’ll share how listening to my own intuition helped me with chronic pain and how I became the channel for feeling good and letting it be easy.
Tomorrow I’m excited to share a tip that I haven’...
2022-01-2613 minSpirit of Success90: Scratching the Itch - Following Your True Path in LifeI’m excited to share that I will be releasing mini episodes calles Shorties every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. After doing shorter episodes before the holidays and realizing not only do they do really well and I like doing them, you all like them too, so here we go!
In this episode I talk about becoming a chiropractor to help people but found there is something deeper going on with people’s physical pain that I wanted to treat. So, while I loved being a chiropractor, I left knowing it wasn’t my true path in life.
You’ll hear ab...
2022-01-2514 minSpirit of Success89: Why I'll Never Talk About ResolutionsThe word that came up when I was thinking about the year is “trust”…and that fits perfectly into why I don’t believe in resolutions. Resolutions cause a lot of damage, honestly, and a huge key for me in making the quantum-leap style changes I’ve undertaken in the last year was due in large part to the mindset shift of no longer allowing myself to buy into big, empty, uncommitted gestures. You need to get clear about the life you want, and the changes it will take - because often, a short term resolution won’t be able to get you t...

This week, I’m checking in with the guest from the second most downloaded episode, Emily (Episode 66) and the first most downloaded episode, Theresa (Episode 63). I’m asking them what’s been happening in their lives since we last spoke (complete life transformation, no big deal, and embracing being a storyteller), what they learned this year (how to write the ultimate love letter to your past, and the importance of our individual stories) and what they’re looking...

This week, I’m checking in with the guest from the 6th most downloaded episode, Leah (Episode 22) and the fifth most downloaded episode, Stephen (Episode 24). I’m asking them what’s been happening in their lives since we last spoke (a long-awaited reunion with a beloved partner, as well as a painful but useful healing experience), and what they’re looking forward to in 2022 (a huge upcoming move, new partnerships, and professional expansion into exciting new domains!) ...
2022-01-0335 minSpirit of Success85: YourselfAbout two years ago, I read an essay called 'Yourself" by Thomas Troward. Now this is from the early 1900's so some of the language can be a little hard to keep up with; however, there are certain lines that when I heard them, I couldn't unhear them (if you know what I mean). They just stuck with me.
The first line says: 'the livingness there is in being yourself'. I didn't know what that meant truly until this year. That livingness is something difficult to describe but once you feel it, you know it and no one...
2021-12-3013 minSpirit of Success84: 2021 ReflectionInterestingly, I didn’t really “feel ready” to do this 2021 year-end reflection episode - because I take reflection super seriously, and I haven’t done my own personal reflection for this year yet. But that just goes to show that even within our lessons, there are lessons (not to go too “Inception-y” on you.) Truly, this whole year I didn’t feel ready to do the things that I did…but I did them anyway, and as a result I had to keep moving the endline on my personal and professional goals because I just kept achieving what I was setting out to d...

It's easy to get caught up in the culture around showing up for everyone (work, family & friends) and then forget about yourself. I saw this way too much and the ending of that pattern is burnt out and getting sick in January. No one wants to use their sick days at the beginning of the...
2021-12-2313 minSpirit of Success81: Teaching Thursday: The Most Important Questions You Can Ask YourselfI have been hearing of more physical pain and emotional discomfort and have had people reaching out for help more than I have noticed before.
This frequency is familiar to me because its what I noticed as a Doctor when I was in practice..except this time its on a much bigger scale and I am not in the office anymore…
This would have scared me instead now I notice something else..the possibility for transformation and change.
This got me thinking what shifted things for me? I was forced to deal with my own physical pain an...

These reflections are inspired by my teaching Thursday episodes, as well as my interviews from this season. In taking the time to reflect on my own movement from knowledge to wisdom, I’m able to explore how to best share my experiences so that you can also benefit in your own movement forward.
Here are the three themes that this episode explores (and listen out for how the themes explore each other - these ones especially are very interconnected!) as wel...
2021-11-2927 minSpirit of Success77: The Lifelong Journey of Integrating Human Alchemy with Goura LotoThe path that led Goura to Damanhur started when she was a little child. The life she was born into didn’t resonate with her - so, Goura left her home in Italy searching for something different from a “normal” life. She knew there was a path out there for her, but she didn’t know what it was. Relying on her inspiration alone, she was guided to move to Costa Rica - but before she could leave, her sister and synchronicity pointed her to Damanhur. The day she arrived at Damanhur, she visited a temple and within three hours fell com...

The last couple weeks saw me continuing on my world tour, travelling from France, back to Italy, and now to Chicago where I am taking some time to reflect and record this episode.
As I teased last episode, I returned to Damanhur - this time by myself instead of with a group. I didn’t realize going into it what a different experience and meaning it would have for me between my first trip and my second. I attended a full moon event, which is all about letting go of tha...
2021-11-1535 minSpirit of Success75: Shining My Own Light to Find the Freedom of the Good - Part 1Just like the solo episodes that I kicked off Season 3 with, I planned to record this episode in the midst of a peaceful hike. But this time I was in France, not Hawaii. In all honesty, though - this is not that episode. My recorder got tossed around in my suitcase and reset the volume knob too low, which I didn’t notice until too late. As a result I recorded a whole episode...of complete silence.
But I knew that I needed to tell you about the life changing experience I just had in Northern Italy. So, whe...
2021-11-0840 minSpirit of Success73: Spirituality through Body Science and Self Trust with Brittany TibbittsIronically what connected Brittany and I on a spiritual soul level when we first met was our shared analytical nature. Developing intuition through science and wisdom and being guided through helping others by putting the human before the body is not the easiest or most common path in the journey of the self - and yet, Brittany and I have tread the same trail.
Like me, Brittany too has had a dark night of her soul. She was shown some hard truths about how she had been unconsciously living her life - and like me, she had a...

No, this isn’t a set up for a joke - but I think Kendra Thorpe and I both felt a little bit like we were being punked as we were separately walking into the room where we would ultimately meet.
Kendra is an igniter; she can see that piece within you that needs waking up. I’m an amplifier; not trying to change you, but just turning the dial up - whether you want to hear it, or no...
2021-10-1149 minSpirit of Success71: Surrendering to Your Heart with Jennifer HudyeJennifer is the way-shower that set me on the path to Rythmia, but how she herself was first led there was very different from my journey - she did lots of research into plant medicine, whereas I was called to just be open to the experience and to show up to do the work. Both ways were totally valid, and true to each of us at the stages we were at in our respective journeys - and we both went through massive heart healing in our plant medicine experiences.
In this episode, we talk openly about what plant...

Do you feel nervous at the thought of that vision?

Picking up where we left off, I set out from the healing vortex of Rythmia and travelled south to Nosara, Costa Rica for a month, and then on to New York for a few days, and Hawaii for another month, and now to Florida - and I know, I could barely believe that path, either.
By using my spirituality as my superpower, I have been able to handle whatever comes my way wit...

Just like my previous two seasons, this third season is inspired by a new and profound season in my own life. I have begun to intentionally shift what this whole podcast is about, and along with that I’ll be speaking to some amazing guests and pulling in inspiration from my travels.
If you’ve been following my story, you know that I sold my Toronto condo in the midst of the pandemic and packed my bags to begin travelling. I initially set off for Costa Rica, where...

Emily and I have developed a deep connection which started with both of us listening to a feeling that we needed to get to know each other. I had no idea what friendship would blossom from that and that she would be my teacher for many important lessons in my life.
The pandemic was the opportunity for us to slow down, focus on what is important and create intentions about how we wan...

This episode is super important because we converse about the topic of identity. In this new and emerging world who we truly are is one of the most important things to discover because the age of inauthenticity is over!
I believe you can only operate out of alignment for a certain period of time before the consequences of that become too much to bear. Both of us know from personal experience what that pain feels like - which is why...

Spirit of Success62: Are You Wearing Someone Else’s BeliefsEver have the feeling of ‘If I do this, then my life will get better’?
‘This’ could be anything - eat a clean diet, exercise consistently, hire a team, work on marketing; literally anything
And then when it comes to doing that one thing, you can just never seem to actually do it?
Well I had that feeling a lot. All of the time actually.
And I thought there was something wrong with me - I labelled myself a procrastinator and assumed I was lazy (amongst other things).
But even that is something I didn’t want to...

Spirit of Success58: Hard Work vs. Miserable Work - Do You Know The Difference?I feel it’s necessary to continue the conversation from last week about ‘hard’ work and I want to make something abundantly clear - there is no one to blame.
It is not anyone’s fault and there is no one to blame. Whoever passed down these beliefs to you were just doing the best they could with what they had.
However, our society is changing and many of the most common problems and diseases can be tied back to this…
So what do you do?
The easy solution is to try and fix everything else and even o...

Spirit of Success56: Working Hard or Hard Work?If you get anything from this episode I want you to ask yourself what your beliefs are around working hard and hard work.
Seriously - this may be the most important thing you do all week.
Feel tired all the time? Wondering why work feels like a bore? Why do the days go by slowly?
Are you running a program of hard work under everything you do?
I saw the damnest thing as a Chiropractor - patients would come into the office because they were doing so much and literally in physical pain. They wanted to solve...

Spirit of Success55: Holistic Health Addresses the Human Being & Their Environment with Jason PersaudI am so excited to share this week’s episode with Holistic Health Practitioner Jason Persaud. This past year has really put a spotlight on health and I believe a new paradigm of health is being born - a holistic model that addresses the multidimensional nature of human beings.
We are also intimately connected to our environments which has a massive impact on our health! The old model of health did not address this well and new models are being developed that can take both of these into account. Jason is on the leading edge of using physical symptoms to...

Spirit of Success54: Do You Feel Like A Turtle?It’s Summer Solstice in a few days and in Canada, things are opening up again slowly.

Is it safe? What is it going to be like to be around people? How do I readjust to the World opening back up?
It’s such an interesting time for this to be happening because Summer usually represents ‘fully blooming’ so this can be a time for exploration and to find out who you really are post pandemic.

Spirit of Success52: The Missing Ingredient Is TrustI keep hearing a very similar story from many people despite the field of work they are in.
It goes something like this - “I have stuff to do and I can’t seem to get it done. I put things on my calendar and yet I still can’t seem to get anything done. My productivity has slowed, I don’t feel so good and actually now I kind of feel stuck”.
Does this sound like you?
Your version may look a little different since well we all have different backgrounds.

Spirit of Success50: What Happened to Passion & Purpose?This week’s episode is dedicated to talking about two words that have made a massive difference in my life - both when they were in my life and when they were not.
Working with clients in a variety of settings, I have started to notice patterns from the way people speak to the way they move their body. These patterns are telling because I realize now the deeper impact they have on someone’s life.
What happens to a person when passion and purpose are lacking?
Does that show up physically in your body? How do you k...

Spirit of Success48: What are the 4 Directions & How Does that Affect You?In Alice’s episode on Monday she mentioned the Medicine Wheel - and from my understanding that is connected to the 4 directions.
These concepts seem esoteric and full of pollyanna to some… however they can affect the way you live your life and how you feel every single day.
Have you ever felt ‘off center’ and had no idea why? Maybe you continued to try to ‘do’ things to make this feeling go away..maybe you just got used to that and it became normal.
I’m here to share another way. You can use rituals to ground yoursel...

Spirit of Success45: FEAR- False Evidence Appearing RealLast week I talked about pain being an invitation to look inward and one of the most common responses to looking inward is actually fear. I had this inspired idea to dedicate these next two episodes to sharing the most illuminating things I learned about fear with you and guide you in my process to moving through fear.
Did you know that you are only born with two fears? So other than that, you learn every other fear. Good news is that you can unlearn them too! It doesn’t completely go away but you can learn how to re...

I decided then and there I have to understand how that was possible and that led me exactly to where I am now.

I wanted to wrap up this mini series by sharing more of the day to day experience of starting a business and coming face to face with your psychology.
One of the things I heard so often is that it's honourable to pay everyone else but not pay yourself. Is that true? I explore this as well as the reality of what raising your standards looks like (hint: it involves relationships).

The point I want to make is that I believe it is important to explore yourself in a healthy way. This includes asking yourself about what you want - if you don’t k...

Spirit of Success38: Is Selfishness Bad?Have you struggled with shame and guilt around making decisions for yourself? I definitely have!
Being in healthcare and an overall more empathetic person, this is something that held me back from stepping into my true potential but also kept me in some pretty toxic self destructive habits.
This is the first of a 3 part series where I explore the idea of where the idea of selfishness being bad came from, what actually happens in your thought process if you believe this and what the real life consequences are.

I am grateful to say that I have, and I almost didn’t allow myself to know what that was like because I was holding onto limiting beliefs around independence. I now understand that meaningful relationships are hugely important to your success in life - and honestly even your health!

I asked myself the same question - what do I want? I found it difficult to answer (for years) but then slowly over time I began to learn things that started to uncover more information. When I say uncover, I mean peeling back the layers from the inside out.
I looked within myself to see what was there beyond what I thought I wanted or was told was good from someone else. It felt so uncomfortable in the beginning but...
