While watching my Father deteriorate in front of my eyes, my brother in-law Rob was like my guide, my translator in the language of alcoholism. With 24 years of sobriety under his belt Rob is the most knowledgeable man I knew about what it’s like to be an alcoholic and what its like to love one.   It’s my total honor to be able to interview him so we could all benefit from his experiences. In this episode we will discuss:- the mindset of an alcoholic- why your love or their love for you isn’t enough to get them to quit- why willpower has nothing to do with getting sober- what you can do if you love an alcoholic- what you can do if you are an alcoholic   *None of the information provided in this episode is intended to be medical advice.

Here's a look at what is in store for the Roots of Awakening podcast in 2019

This episode is one that not only I needed but I know so many of you were asking for as well. I brought in Jenn Hepton who is a grief expert to talk about how to best get through the holiday season after losing someone you love- whether it just happened or it happened years ago.  Jenn’s Bio:  Jenn Hepton is a Certified Grief Support Coach, Life + Wellness Coach, Speaker, Author, and Educator. She coaches womxn who want to make sense of their lives after loss and who are tired of hiding their voices and feeling powerless in their grief. She works with them to navigate through the darkness, find a place of expansion, and purpose. After any type of loss, a purposeful and mindful life seems unreachable - but it’s not.  After experiencing her own life-changing losses after years of infertility, miscarriage, and losing her daughter in stillbirth, Jenn now helps others move through their own grieving process. She has an innate understanding of the ups and downs that come along with loss; from the depths of sorrow to

This is the last episode in the Forever Loved Series. This month you will hear from my husband and myself as we both talk about our Dads.  

We are going to be doing things a little bit differently for the month of October. I had an idea to use this month for myself and others to honor the lives of loved ones we have lost.   I am a big believer in talking about dying, death, and those who have passed. Because acting like it never happened  or that it won’t happen to you doesn’t do anyone any good. And not hearing the name of the person you’ve lost is almost crippling. So since I have this space- I wanted to use it to speak the names of the ones we love. To tell the world about them and why they are so special and so damn missed.   It's my hope that you will find peace in honoring the people we talk about here and  that this will inspire you to talk about those you have lost.   In this episode we will hear from Amy and Jennifer.

As a child did people often tell you that you were a scaredy-cat or did you notice that you didn’t enjoy loud, busy places? Or maybe you weren’t one of those kids, but you have one. In this episode Ilia and I discuss why you weren’t a scaredy-cat, what you can do if you know a child like this, and why awareness about this issue is essential for all of us. We will also cover the fact that we have all experienced an energy reading, whether you realized it or not, why we all need a raincoat and the link between past lives and anxiety. Yeah, this episode is jam-packed and you don’t want to miss a thing. Get listening!

Have you ever heard about tea meditation? I hadn’t either until I met Lynayn Mielke.   You will learn why tea is such a powerful tool in meditation, how to do it, and even a little bit of history about it (spoiler alert: this is not a new practice!).   I know, I know… you love your coffee. But after this episode I have a feeling that you might fall in love with tea or at the very least be curious about it.     Check it out and let us know what you think!   Join Lynayn on Facebook Email Lynayn

Have you ever felt that you were blindly seeking for something, but you just really couldn’t figure out what that something was? Perhaps you’ve tried meditation to find it, but it's just too hard to be alone with yourself and all of the thoughts in your mind. Saskia Fokkink will tell us about her journey and how she was able to work through these obstacles and in turn help others that are battling with those same feelings. Saskia will also share with us what she believes is the biggest contributor to depression and anxiety and what to do about it. Yeah, it’s pretty huge. This episode is jam packed with wisdom that you just can’t afford to miss.

You’ve gotta listen to this episode just so you can meet Emma and find out why I think she’s a total warrior goddess! We discuss creating healthy boundaries (even ones that seem impossible), oracle cards, journaling the power of the sea, and oh so much more. Emma gets super vulnerable with us as she shares what steps she took when she found herself in an unexpected low point recently. Which got us thinking about the idea that you’re never going to be “fixed” or “cured” from depression/anxiety. But don’t lose hope- because that doesn’t mean that you’re powerless. There’s so much that you can do for yourself- and we’ve laid it all out for you! So, push play and enjoy Emma Love, Warrior Goddess!

Let’s face it, as a woman there is a pretty good chance we have had some issues with our body image at one point in our life. During this episode I talk with transformational lifestyle coach Christina Ennabe about body dysmorphia and mental illness.   Christina and I discuss how our story has the power to help others- and as Christina so brilliantly puts it- why you don’t need to be a black belt to help a white belt. We will also find out why her coaching is totally different than most coaches that deal with body image (hint: one of her motto’s is “Health looks different on everybody”. This is truly a beautiful talk about something that really has the power to affect all women.   Here’s a little more about Christina: Christina is a transformational lifestyle and health coach who's passionate about helping men and women find fulfillment and purpose. Christina uses her educational background in mental health counseling, as well as her own personal journey with disordered eating, depression, and body dysmorphia

I’m back from my trip and I just have to tell you how the tips and tricks from episode 10 worked out, as well as some very surprising things that came up along the way!

What do you do when what’s best for you is also what triggers your anxiety? Getting out and living life is what we are all striving to do. But for some of us its not as easy as booking a ticket and going somewhere. Sometimes doing that will trigger our deepest fears and force us into even more seclusion. I get it. I have canceled and rearranged trips all because I let anxiety control my actions. In this episode I talk about my latest vacation obstacle, what I did about it, and I share quite a few invaluable tips to help you get out there and enjoying life.   Links: Breathing focal point can be found here in my guide Lavender Pills Book- Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks   Please feel free to reach out: Roots of Awakening Collective Facebook Page Instagram Keep in the loop
