Awaken Beauty Podcast

I'm beyond excited to welcome you into this very sensitive topic today … and it's going to be intense - no pun intended.So listen up my friends, I've got a few questions to warm up to today's episode More times than not, do you easily overwhelmed by strong sensory inputs like smells, the way fabrics feel on your body and sounds you easily pick up?Do you seem to be aware of subtleties in your environment that others don't?Do other people’s moods affect you - to the tune of “little do they know” you can read their energy like an open book?Lastly, are you - or someone you know diagnosed with  ADHD, autism or other spectrums of a neurodiverse mind? If you said yes to any of these - you may be a highly sensitive person.  But there’s more to this story. After I connected the dots of my late adult ADHD tendencies, there's a common highly sensitive energetic nuances that thread through so many high powered and successful  individuals that have ADHD - which  can be super power, but also your Kryptonite.So what is a hi

Is it ADHD, Imbalanced Hormones, Menopause... or Something Else?Today I’m bringing back the beautiful and bright Dr. Felice Gersh, where we will be discussing overall mental health, ADHD, and the link to Hormones and how they impact your brain, moods & wellbeing.Make sure you watch our first episode where Dr. Gersh did an incredible job of weaving together what we now know about the Endocannabinoid System and how it relates to aging.Now, as a woman who masked my ADHD until mid life through an unfair advantage of having a background in Functional and self-healing with the right lab work and supplements, living my dream job as a serial entrepreneur, and being a clinical hypnotherapist, which allowed me access to cleaning up my own traumas - it still comes with it’s challenges.Stay till the end because we will be breaking open the nuances of mental health and how it relates to the symphony of our hormones, and so much more.And….With four times adult women being diagnosed with ADHD today than children - it's

We're made for times such as this. Understand how to protect yourself, and listen to the urgency in your spirit so you can utilize this transitional time as a time of great wealth and growth. Rich Dad, Poor Dad Famous author, Robert Kiyosaki, states that “‘Millions will be wiped out’: in the upcoming big crash- but right now could also be the perfect time to 'get richer' —  Join the conversation on exactly how.

Join Kassandra and Mitchell to discuss WHATS BENEATH THE SURFACE of the darkest, deepest secret kept from honest hard-working Americans (global) for decades. If you do your own research on the QFS, you will soon discover that it has too many connected dots and too much evidence to be nothing.The world as we know it and the world that we’ll be soon experiencing is the largest transference of not only wealth, but the exchange of satanic and evil darkness to courageous and righteous LIGHT - in world history. It requires personal self-discovery, deep healing and trust in self and the the light bearers that have created a path - that without it - it would be the end of life - that is even worth living. There's an active plan to take-back America from dark criminals known as the cabal who have been destroying society, and its spirit for several decades.I hear you - you may be cynical, and you may be scratching your head in confusion. But, when you see the events unfold, it is my hope that the trust and safety in yo

Today we will explore the dimensions of how our rich financial future is quantum …and that something greater waits for us.Our relationship to self, others, our purpose and wealth come from Longing that resonates with the divine forces bringing new potentials into existence.It's a two-way love affair.Something is longing for you and through you, and that is where the immense power (and destiny) lie.It's time to move beyond the old power structures, and divisivenessit's critical to release victim consciousness and trust in the bright future of what is to come. What you'll discover-Solving problems from Love, not Fear--Coming from the CREATIVE ORIENTATION VERSUS A PROBLEM ORIENTATION-Why we need to clear our fear-based thinking-Stewardship of Money and Wealth and how we can prepare now-We all have the energetic imprint on the quanum level carried through our family constellation.-Quantum Stellar Initiative and the future financial system and WHY-The 3 Rings of Consciousness and Inoperability and Crypto OverlayYo

I'd like to invite you to put your hand on the knob, turn the key and open the door so we all can walk through together and start looking at the PINK ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. This short and potent episode explores the work of leading evidence based research and solutions from brilliant brains like Dr. Porges, Dr Aime and Peter Levine. I also connect the dots on how individuals that have ADHD feel 10x the compound affect of stress, overwhelm and trauma in the body due to having a hypervigilant nervous system . This is an exciting time in mental health history, as so many are stepping up to the plate. I myself can no longer be quiet about how we bring hidden and locked trauma in our body and energetic field passed down from our family generational lineage into our everyday life, relationships and even our business. As you listen to today's incredible information, step into neutrality, be curious and let’s start the great reveal so we can all heal. We now have cutting-edge techniques from trauma therapies, neuro

Welcome to today's short but rich episode. It's quite appropriate for the transition we are all going through at this time, relating to low vibration power gains and how we are called to step UP and into being the keeper of your land.And...it all comes down to the Ego. If you IMAGINE yourself as an image of a country, your Ego is the central government. If you're privy on your history, the Central Government handles the country’s finances, military, health, education, law, and order. Similarly, yup, your Ego has to take care of the body it inhabits to help it stay healthy. It unconsciously helps you to decide which reaction and behavior is desirable and beneficial, and which is not. (most of the time).Journey with me as I discuss the ascension and de-construction of the almighty ego (psychedelics note included). Should actively try to get rid of the ego? Is this the best way to spiritual growth?Turn it up!✍

Hey friend, it's time to reclaim your most valuable asset.Most of us spend our time on autopilot. Some of us have been ashamed feeling like we're always behind or doing something wrong by trying to fit into the neurotypical 9-5. Yes, we exist in a world of 24/7 distraction that sustains this autopilot behavior by offering a never-ending stream of things to do. But there's more to the story. Neuro-emergent is a ripe new word for the [who] and [how] those with turbo-brains are in the world! According to Adrienne Maree Brown, in her book Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds: emergence “is fractal, adaptive, interdependent & decentralized, non-linear & iterative, resilient & transformative, justice-oriented,creating more possibilities.”Emergence “emphasizes critical connections over critical mass, building authentic relationships, listening with all the senses of the body and the mind.” I’ve been looking for a word that describes what I am, rather than what I divergefrom (i.e. neuro-d

Alright my friends, I can honestly say that magnesium has been a LIFE SAVER for so many years, for a good reason.Magnesium Bolsters Your Biological and Mental HealthOptimal magnesium levels go a very long way when it comes to anything and everything brain-related. Whether you’re wanting to wake up feeling alive and energized, focus on the task at hand, remember everything on your daily ‘to do’ list, or just get a good night’s rest, you need an ample amount of magnesium to accomplish it. In addition to supporting the health of your nerves themselves, magnesium also helps with occasional head tension & discomfort and supports a relaxed mood.  Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 325 enzymatic reactions—in DNA and neurotransmitters; in the bones, heart and brain; in every cell of the body. Unfortunately, a deficiency of this crucial mineral is the most common nutritional deficiency today. Fortunately, supplementation with magnesium is the most impactful integrative supplement  you can turn to, particularly i

Most of our life is spent in the energy of frustration and expectation.We wonder why things are taking so long, but we don't realize under the surface beneath where the magic is happening - that every idea has its own ecosystem and its own timing.And we get to decide that even though we can't see the fruits of the labor yet, the seed has been received and magic is happening.It changes the way we make decisions - instead of stopping to look for evidence all the time, the power is when we tap into the trust and faith in ourselves.I've realized that every time I listen to a very powerful person, I would ask them, how did you do this?It always comes back to the same thing.How do you trust when there's no evidence?You've got to be able to actually embody and feel the trust.There's a very big difference between doing and being and no longer doing things hidden.You don't need to know for sure if it's going to work.The power is in self awareness and standing in “I fully believe in myself.”This neuro-nature self-hypno

You know when you read something that hits you so hard, it stops you in your tracks?Or, you feel as if someone is on the same path, but just a few steps ahead?Yup, that is resonance, and if a seed was previously planted - it likely is reappearing in your reality.

Becoming a master gardener of our relationships, and ourselves requires us to learn how to become intimate with the garden of our consciousness. Initially, the seed of mindfulness develops into a wholesome formation through the repetition of returning to whatever is happening in the present moment. Everything that affects our consciousness enters metaphorically as a seed. The work of the master gardener is that of gatekeeper and protector of the garden of our consciousness. According to Thich Nhat Hanh, “Our mind is a field, in which every kind of seed is sown—seeds of compassion, joy, and hope, seeds of sorrow, fear, and difficulties.” Seeds refer to all the information that enters our awareness and gets stored in our consciousness. Using this awareness, think of a typical day. What kind of seeds or information are you allowing to enter your consciousness via the media, people in your life, and your everyday conversations? Enjoy this short episode on how to better care for the Garden of your mind and bonus m

The Anatomy of Eye SkinYour skin is the largest organ of the body, covering you from head to toe. But skin is not the same all over. The epidermis, (the outer layer of skin), is thinnest on eyelids and thickest on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet.That thin skin breaks down faster than thicker skin does because it isn’t as collagen-rich (collagen is a protein that gives skin a supple, firm appearance) as other areas of your body.As collagen naturally decreases with age, fine lines and wrinkles appear to be more visible on the surface of the skin. Eyes are very expressive, too. All the micro-contractions that happen to your skin as you smile or squint in the sun can cause creases in the skin over time. Plus, thin skin means that veins underneath the skin show more, which can contribute to the appearance of dark circles. Eye skin also lacks sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, or what we think of as “oil”. That waxy substance coats and lubricates the skin. Areas without sebaceous glands and sebum

ADHD is a rising diagnosis in our society. Tune in to learn more about the possible causes hidden at the root of ADHD, including heavy metals.Every day we are exposed to toxins from our environment. We may ingest lead and copper from drinking water, phosphate from processed food and soda, various synthetic chemicals from plastic food containers, and pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Both natural heavy metals and man-made chemicals disrupt hormones and brain development. The brain, especially the developing brain, is very vulnerable to contaminants because of its large size and its high concentration of fats which serve as a reservoir for toxicants to build up. This episode will explain the role that heavy metals and environmental toxins play in ADHD.In January 2016, there was a declared state of emergency in Flint, Michigan where thousands of residents were exposed to high levels of lead in their drinking water. The corrosive water from the Flint River caused lead from old water pipes to leach into the w

There is no doubt, that the clean beauty movement is on the rise. Consumers walk the halls of mainstream beauty stores and have a myriad of options of “natural skincare.”As a 15-year product formulator of Evoq Beauty Skincare, it goes without saying that I’m passionate about raising the standards of beauty, and putting my clients and consumers health back in their hands with a line and devotional practice that puts your health in your hands, heart and of course -face!Attempting to talk about skincare without first acknowledging if you come from a holistic or mainstream school of thought is very similar to an attempt at having a constructive discussion about health without recognizing both germ and terrain theories.The existing theories are by nature at odds with each other and then we may proceed to carry on a respectful discussion.My intention is to provide a clear and straightforward description of both holistic and mainstream approaches to skincare and to demonstrate the impact each has on the health of th
