Happy Hour Podcast With Dee And Shannon

So excited to be with Dee again today as we talk about something that landed powerfully on us both.  Glennon's new book- Untamed.  This book has so many life/soul lessons that land perfectly albeit challenging in this season of life. Join Dee and I as we chat about aspects of this book that resonated with us and share with us if you have read it and what you think!

I had a blast recently with some of my closest friends as we shared our quarantine experiences during our 'virtual happy hour'.  We talked all about what is just shitty and what is working (and we are appreciating) during this quarantined time.   Some of our observations may align with some of yours, or perhaps you could share your experience during quarantine with us too!  

How many times in the last five years (hell the last decade) have you said "I don't have time for that" or "I wish I had time to do.."?  I am thinking that if we had $1 for every time we said it (or thought it) we would be quite wealthy right now. Guess what?  We now have time.  And it is a great way to make this quarantine meaningful. In my podcast today my good friend Kim, creator of Project Mindful Movement, joins me and we discuss how this quarantine has opened up so many opportunities- if we look and are open to them.

We’re all familiar with the IVs you get in the hospital that has been used for decades. But did you know that IV therapy offers many benefits outside the hospital?

Typical uses are: Hangovers Improve immune system function (especially for colds and flu) Migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome Athletic, nutritional, or energy boost Beauty benefits There are also drawbacks of IV therapy.  Tune in to find out more and check out the full details at https://mindbodycomplete.com/is-iv-therapy-for-you/

Hey guys! I am over the moon excited to share this talk with you that I had with my dear friend Sue. Long ago, Sue and I shared kick-butt workout sessions at 5 AM in my garage before I moved to California. I miss her so much and am so happy to share her knowledge with you today.    Sue is a nurse practitioner who has been treating women for over 20 years. She’s worked in family practice, the ER/ICU, oncology, cardiopulmonary, and OB/GYN. I think one of the things that really sets her apart from other health care providers is that she really listens to patients and pieces together a total wellness picture based on lifestyle along with science.    I thought it would be interesting to find out what are the top three concerns that women bring to her from a physician’s point of view. Then I’d like to share the top three I’ve observed as a mental health professional. Check out the full blog here: https://mindbodycomplete.com/the-top-3-issues…lly-and-mentally/

In today's Happy Hour Podcast show, my good friend Stefanieand I talked about the different approaches to viewing parenting as a mother.  One type of mother will celebrate and connect with other mothers, regardless if their parenting styles match.

Welcome to season 3!  In this show my husband and I talk bout the epidemic (trend?) of feeling sick.  This is in no way saying that there aren’t terrible illnesses and tragedies in the world- only that there is a significant increase in those of us feeling ‘sick’ and sadly- more women are being affected than men (or at least reported).  Int this show we talk about the two approaches to healing: language and empathy.    Tune and find out more here.  Thank you to our sponsor, Activated Faith Candles.

We are in an age where sarcasm is where we hide.  We project our tiredness, our busyness, our unhappiness, our stress- on our shirts, mugs, cars, social media and our homes.  Doing this only compounds what you don't want- it confirms the very things you are complaining about.  It is time to take responsibility for our environment and our lives.     Thank you to our sponsor: www.activatedfaithcandles.com 

We love to hear from our listeners when they leave reviews, but we also love to hear what issues and questions they’re dealing with. Recently, we got this note from one of our listeners:    “My daughter is 8 and is struggling with a girl in her class. I would love a podcast about raising girls in this day and age. I try my damndest to give her the tools to ignore the mean girls and be a leader... I would love to hear other bad ass women talk about raising nice, kind, and authentic girls.”    Check out the conversation we had with our guest, Rachel Weinstock, on this topic.  For more info check out the full blog post here.  Thank you to our sponsor Activated Faith Candles.   About our guest: Rachel holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts and a Bachelor of Education.

Our thoughts are not our identity. Our thoughts can be changed. But frequently negative thoughts hijack our life. Many people let these thoughts take over their identity, their daily experiences, their joy -- all without embracing the basic premise that we have the ability to change our thoughts.  Tune into today's show to learn how to take back the control and restructure your thoughts!

It is possible to reduce stress and increase productivity by decluttering! Research backs this up! The Journal of Current Psychology has published studies showing the negative impacts of clutter. It causes “life dissatisfaction” and can “negatively impact our mental wellbeing”. Clutter also increases cortisol, the stress hormone, and is linked to greater procrastination (anyone else feel like putting shit off cause there is just too much crap around? If not, me either, was just asking for a friend…).    In this podcast, we discuss the concept of decluttering.  Dee really embraces the de-cluttered life. She says, “I’m by no means a minimalist, but I really try to not accumulate stuff.” She continues to explain that the research is so true in her life: “I agree with all those facts - and I feel it tenfold! I feel the negative impacts so strongly, that it’s practically debilitating to me. If I can’t find an outfit, and I make my closet a huge mess, I literally cannot go to sleep until it’s cleaned up.
