077 // Whats Love Got to Do With It? w. Julia Perretta, LMFT 1:02:32

3y ago1:02:32

1:02:32

When it comes to self-healing and personal development, it's easy to get trapped in the belief that the work must be done in a vacuum-- that in order for it to be "self-healing" and "self-development" it must be done alone; that you shouldn't be in partnership until you've done all the work on yourself. So what's love got to do with it? Every relat…

076 // Reviving Curiosity 23:46

3y ago23:46

23:46

We are all born with an insatiable curiosity to discover our world. We open our eyes and take in our surroundings with all of our senses, letting our bodies do the exploring. Somewhere along the way, we are taught that the world is a dangerous place and that we are vulnerable to all its whims and follies-- "curiosity killed the cat," as the adage g…

Devoting a personal episode to riff on some things I've been observing within myself over the last several months. The hope is that maybe you'll resonate with some of it, too.

074 // Vulnerability, Authenticity and Oversharing 27:26

3y ago27:26

27:26

Vulnerability is of integral importance in our lives and personal development. While often seen as a weakness, vulnerability is an incredible strength and is often that "missing piece" in relationships that allows us to be fully authentic and understood-- when shared in the right way. Vulnerability not only forges deeper connections with those we e…

073 // Conscious Creativity 34:36

3y ago34:36

34:36

When was the last time you created just for the sake of creation, without all the pressure that comes with needing it to be a “good idea,” visually pleasing, or profitable? For many, we lose touch with our inner creator when we reach that certain point in our youth where the world suddenly asks more of us than to simply experience the joys and wond…

071 // Navigating Resistance: When to Lean In or Walk Away 29:19

3y ago29:19

29:19

Is resistance a good or bad thing? What about "taking the path of least resistance?" When taking action or saying yes to an opportunity causes feelings of fear and discomfort to arise, it can be hard to know whether to lean in or walk away. Is this fear coming up because the situation requires me to be vulnerable? To try something new? To put mysel…

070 // My One-Year HA Recovery Update + Reflections 38:16

3y ago38:16

38:16

It's been one year since I first recovered my cycle, so I thought I'd share an update on how things are going! If you are also experiencing or recovering from HA, it's important to remember that recovery extends beyond getting your cycle back, and that long-term healing takes time, grace, and a boatload of self-compassion. I share my story in the h…

067 // Perfectionism + Catching Stealthy Expectations 34:29

3+ y ago34:29

34:29

We all have expectations that we set for ourselves, for situations, and for others. As humans, we have the incredible power of imagination. We dream and we tell stories, automatically creating a set of ideals for how things and people ought to be... how they “should” be. Some of the time, we can catch our expectations and recognize when they aren't…

065 // Looking at What's Behind Your Productivity Rut 20:10

3+ y ago20:10

20:10

This is a topic that comes up all the time in my client sessions, and is something we all go through every now and then. The key is (as with pretty much everything we do here on The HYE Life) to look at what is going on beneath the surface. This episode offers two important aspects of what is happening to us energetically and mentally when we are g…

3+ y ago57:36

57:36

After discovering that her "healthy" habits were actually the cause of her absent cycles (hypothalamic amenorrhea), Dani Sheriff began channeling her frustration with societal expectations on women's bodies through her childhood hobby: drawing and illustration. She quickly learned that there was a need to help other women with HA and share her own …

064 // Growth Grief 28:09

3+ y ago28:09

28:09

“There is a grief that occurs in your healing. They don’t talk about that so much. It’s a messy, complicated, beautiful and raw place, To have so much unconditional love for the person you once were, a person who wanted to be anybody but themselves.”— excerpt from a little personal reading I give during the episode (let me know if you like when I d…

062 // To Do More, or To Do Less? 22:04

3+ y ago22:04

22:04

Inspired by an unexpectedly uplifting conversation with an internet customer service representative, we talk about the concept of doing less in order to do more: doing less of what isn't serving you, to do more of what lights you up and moves you forward. We go over two simple yet incredibly powerful questions I love to ask my clients in order to r…

061 // Self-Healing Through Releasing Diet + Fitness Culture 36:51

3+ y ago36:51

36:51

Self-healing is, in essence, healing your relationship with yourself. It is about uncovering and mending the beliefs that are forming the basis of your behaviors and lifestyle choices that aren't actually serving you. For me, that meant shedding an identity that centered around nutrition and fitness culture-- two things that I thought were serving …

059 // 4 Simple + Effective Ways to Start Making Life Shifts 29:00

3+ y ago29:00

29:00

You know you want to make some changes, but you're overwhelmed at the idea and not sure where to start. One of the biggest things keeping people stuck where they are is the belief that they need to make big changes in order to experience a real shift in their lives. But the opposite is true-- the biggest shifts often come from the smallest of chang…

Sometimes the best interview episodes are the ones where nothing is planned and we just roll with whatever is top of mind. That's exactly what you're getting in this chat with my dear friend and movement teacher/healer, Riki Rosenthal @Riki_Wellness. We met on our teacher training in Bali earlier this year (throwback to pre-Covid) and we've been su…

057 // Why An Identity Crisis Is A Good Thing + How to Embrace It 42:04

3+ y ago42:04

42:04

Most of us find ourselves diving into our self development journeys after the catalyst of an identity crisis. And in the thick of that uncertainty, all of that questioning, all of that uprooting, it can be difficult to be present to the exponential growth that is taking place. I have had my fair share of identity crises over the last few years: whe…

3+ y ago16:38

16:38

While it's important to take the time to be with your emotions and understand them, sometimes what we really need is to take some space and perspective. But there is a fine line between taking healthy distance from your healing, and distracting yourself as a means of avoidance. Today's episode dives into the difference between the two, some example…

052 // Curating & Cultivating Your Aligned Home w. Jessie Ruane (@JessieFinds) 51:15

4y ago51:15

51:15

Following the idea that your thoughts create your reality, it comes as no surprise that your environment, and especially your home, becomes a reflection of your internal environment. And because we are energetic beings, we also easily absorb the energy of our environment, and thus our relationship with our home is just as important as any other. Cr…

051 // Becoming Trigger Proof: How Regulating Your Nervous System Can Heal Your Past, Present, and Create Your Aligned Future, feat. Dr. Nima Rahmany 32:38

4y ago32:38

32:38

It's no secret that our past shapes who we are today. But what's less understood is how our past-- in particular our traumas, anxieties, beliefs and implicit biases-- causes much of today's current suffering, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. After recognizing this pattern in his patients, chiropractic Dr. Nima Rahmany is now on a missi…

050 // Redefining What is "Healthy" at Different Stages of Health 27:46

4y ago27:46

27:46

One of my biggest qualms with the world of wellness is how often general health advice is shared without real context or consideration of the state of health of those consuming these "tips and tricks." Am I grateful that access to health information is so widely available now? Absolutely! We can't just depend on doctors and researchers. But unfortu…

049 // Opening Up About Cycle Recovery + Regaining our Periods w. Allie Labazzo 1:13:30

4y ago1:13:30

1:13:30

For the longest time, I thought I was totally alone in my struggle with missing periods. It wasn't until I first opened up about my hormonal imbalance and hypothalamic amenorrhea on episode 16 that so many others started sharing their experiences with me, looking for a path to regaining their cycle. As it turns out, this issue is far too common, es…

048 // Releasing Restriction + Getting Fiber Fueled with Dr. B @TheGutHealthMD 1:13:27

4y ago1:13:27

1:13:27

Gut health has exploded in the last few years, and I think now is certainly as good a time as any to be paying attention to our gut health. With the topic of immunity on our minds, the gut isn't often the first place we think of-- but it should be. As you'll learn, "gut health IS immune health!" What impacts our gut the most? Turns out it's not jus…

4+ y ago32:30

32:30

These are crazy times, there's no denying that. With the majority of the world in quarantine, plans postponed or cancelled, businesses struggling, loved ones forbidden from seeing each other, there is a lot of uncertainty circulating and as human nature would have it, uncertainty breeds fear. But it doesn't have to be this way. When our circumstanc…

4+ y ago1:26:50

1:26:50

There’s a lot of conversation around blood sugar stability in today’s dietary health circles, but not a whole lot of clarity around how to go about achieving it, particularly for long term health. When primary care doctors are prescribing one type of diet, alternative medicine doctors another, and social media influencers another, it becomes even m…

4+ y ago1:05:39

1:05:39

Hormones have long been the butt of every joke for why something in us just isn’t quite right. “I’m just hormonal,” “I feel like shit, my period must be coming soon,” “she’s being so bitchy, she must be PMSing,”… I could go on. But as we are learning more and more, as alternative and natural health medicine is growing in popularity and in depth, ho…

042 // Negative Signs of Positive Growth + the Practice of Slowing Down 17:27

4+ y ago17:27

17:27

“If I’m making progress, why do I feel so off?” Often times, when we are first stepping into a new level of growth, abundance or opportunity, the transition can feel more negative than immediately positive. Why is that? And how do we proceed without sabotaging ourselves? Sharing my thoughts and experience with arriving in Bali, how changing things …

041 // The Nitty-Gritty on Non-Toxic w. Jill Sheridan, M.Ed Biology + Founder of Ms. Fresh Organics 1:01:19

4+ y ago1:01:19

1:01:19

“Non-toxic” has become another trendy word, right up there with “organic,” “all natural,” “plant-based” and the like. These are all vitally important terms and concepts to understand and implement, but the fact that they are trendy makes it harder for some of us to actually embrace them— and makes it easier for big companies to abuse them. Just as …

4+ y ago16:47

16:47

“How do I build confidence?” We all want confidence but we don’t want to be vulnerable. But we forget that true confidence requires courage— the ability to do something that frightens us. Without courage, there is no growth. Vulnerability is courage. To show up, to trust, to walk into the arena, to accept the unknown. ~ These short n’ sweet episode…

For this Season 1 finale, I went in not having any clue what I was going to talk about, but ended up speaking from the heart about “growing pains” and how it’s probably one of the most accurate terms in the English language.

One of the many beautiful souls that this journey into entrepreneurship and “following my path,” if you will, has connected me with is Nicole Nelson. Nicole is a fellow IIN grad and a health and business coach (but let’s be honest— what truly brings us together is our mutual love of oatmeal and chickpea cookies). Before we dive into the interview, …

5y ago23:20

23:20

We all speak pretty confidently about ourselves when we describe what we do for our job, what role we play within our family, who we are with friends— but are all these “selves” really the same person? What about when we have an off day, and we say we “aren’t our best selves today.” Who, then, is our best self? Are they more or less authentic than …

First you wake up after a poor night’s sleep, then stub your toe on the way to the bathroom, then spill coffee on your new top, then every little thing about your coworker starts to piss you off, the guy you’re seeing didn’t text you “good morning” (‘what an asshole, so dumping his ass’) and on and on and on… notice how one little negative thing st…
