The Power of the Aura, Layers 4 and 5

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel continues her series on the auric field, on this episode she covers how we can read what’s happening for us in our relationships and what’s coming up for us physically in the energy field.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s a good idea, when you’re connecting with people, to get a sense of how open they are to connecting in relationships and how are they doing physically and what’s coming up for them in the future.
The astral layer is the fourth auric layer and is about 1-2 feet out from the body. This layer has to do with the nature of our relationships, everything from friendships to professional relationships to connecting with other people on some level. It’s unstructured and looks like blue, billowy clouds, and it’s important because it’s how we indicate how we relate to others but also the condition of those relationships. The need is to have a loving interaction with friends and family and to give and receive love in many types of relationships.
The etheric template is the 5th layer of the auric field, it’s multi-coloured and has a brighter light. It’s usually about 3-4 feet out from the body and it to do with what’s happening with the physical body. You can learn something about what’s coming up for the body in the future, if someone’s going to get sick or healthy, by reading this layer. It also reveals alignment with divine will.
The etheric template can influence the state of the etheric body which in turn influences the physical body. Our ability to flow with divine will shows up in this layer. It’s really important to align with divine will, when you do that your life is a lot more harmonious. A way to feel and connect to the divine flow is to keep energy open in this 5th layer of your field.

BEST MOMENTS

“The third body in a relationship is the energy that’s combined between the two people, it can be enhanced with physical intimacy between the two people, but you can also injure it.”

“A lot of people’s astral layers have been damaged by covid, either they shut down and don’t want to open back up or, in children, haven’t learned how to have good relationships with other people.”

“Relationships are really key to enhance the flow of money as well as the flow of love and caring.”

“If you want to be healthy long term you need to clear, charge, balance and harmonise the etheric template.”

The Power of the Aura, Layers 1-3

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel continues her series on the auric field, on this episode she covers the first 3 layers of the auric field which have to do with what’s happening in your physical body, your feelings, and in your thoughts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The energy field is very complex, it can change shape and colour millions of times in just a few minutes. Sadly, we don’t have very good equipment to measure or evaluate it. Auras are real, people feel them and react to them all the time they just don’t know they are. Any time you pick up on someone’s vibes/energy you’re felling someone’s aura.
When you’re trained to do energy work you can actually help people change their belief systems by changing what’s occurring in their auric field. You’re changing the blueprint of what’s happening so that it can change inside of that person’s physical body.
Everybody’s fields vary in size, when people say you have a big energy, that usually means that someone’s energy field is around 6 feet out – double the usual size. Small energy is the energy is contracted and insular, they’ve turned inward.
The etheric layer, the first layer, is about 1-2 inches out (12 inches in some people). The second layer, the emotional body is usually 2-6 inches out depending on the person. The third layer – the mind – is usually about 6-12 inches out. So, they’re all usually within the first foot of a person. The layers are structured with gridlines which can be smooth and organised, but when their health isn’t well they can be distorted on the first and second layers. When they have negative thoughts or unclear thinking the gridlines can be distorted in the third layer.

BEST MOMENTS

“When I switch on the aura camera when I’m giving reiki, you can see beams of light shooting out of my hands, it’s amazing.”

“The colours vary per person; blue can mean one thing for one person and something else for another.”

“When people say they’re living their best life that expression describes our highest level of manifestation, perfection and well-being. It’s a blueprint we can have in our auric field where it’s organised the way it should be organised: flowing, even, connected, whole.”

“The average person on the street can read the condition of the emotional body pretty easily, most of us can pick up on what other people are feeling because they’re broadcasting it through their emotional layer.”

The Power of the Aura Overview

Sat, 20 Jul 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel begins a new series on the auric field so you can understand about people’s vibes and why you’re feeling what you’re feeling when you connect with people.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People think that the auric field emanates off their body like heat waves, but the reverse is true. The auric field existed before we came into our bodies, that’s why psychics can pick up on babies that want to come in and incarnate with a parent before they’re pregnant, they can feel the presence of that soul’s energy field before it physically comes into existence.
The energy anatomy system is all the different structures that are in our energy anatomy. We have the chakras, the auric field, meridians, and nadis, which are structures of energy that bring something from point A to point B – these can be nervous system/neural pathways, blood vessels, or meridians. Energy management is clearing out distortions and imbalances in the auric field, chakras, meridians, nadis, realigning correct flow, charging and sometimes centring.
A lot of empaths have the subconscious belief that it’s their job to process other people’s energy because they think they’re better than other people. They process it, send it back, and then they feel tired and blame those other people because they feel drained. That’s not the case; subconsciously what empaths are doing is moving other people’s energy through their system and processing it without their permission. This can create karma for you, if you’re doing this, and violates universal law. No wonder you feel tired!
If you aren’t feeling physically well, you probably have something going on in your energy field that doesn’t feel positive. If you’re feeling emotionally off, your triggered, you’re upset, you can’t focus mentally, these are all indications that something’s going on in your auric field. If you’re having ‘bad luck’ there could be something going on in the outer layers of your auric field, bad luck is really a manifestation of some kind of spiritual issue. You probably need some clearing of your auric field.

BEST MOMENTS

“Each layer of the auric field is responsible for a different aspect of our consciousness and existence.”

“If your energy’s not flowing in the way it was meant to flow, you’re not going to feel physically that great.”

“It takes time to learn how to develop the skill of being able to see the auric field, it takes practice and patience.”

The Power of the Chakras: Galactic and Universal

Sat, 29 Jun 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel completes her series on the chakras by discussing the energies of the galactic and universal chakras.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, unloved or lonely you might want to look at working with the galactic and universal chakras. The shishimna is a line of energy that goes from the universal chakra, through your galactic, through your solar system to you upper Earth, to your transpersonal point, then it moves through all the chakras in the midline of your body, then it goes to your feet, between the knees down to the Earth chakra. That line of energy charges up your chakras, so it’s essential it stays open.
This chakra is the point of higher consciousness which resonates at the galactic level. There are higher beings that are responsible for what happens in this galaxy, a way to connect with them is by opening your galactic chakra & expanding your consciousness out from that galactic chakra.
Whether you believe in aliens or other life forms or not, there’s a lot of life & energy in the galaxy. All the different suns, planets, moons. Imagine you can connect with the power & energy of that, it’s lot bigger than just you in your own single body. It’s very energising to connect with this. It helps give you a bigger perspective, that there’s more going on than the small things in your day.
These are not traditional chakras, but the soul lesson is connecting to divine energy at the source, the colour is brilliant white, the purpose is to be in the silence of the divine energy. When you meditate, first you are aware of your thoughts &, if you’re not well versed in meditation, these thoughts will distract you. As your brain waves slow from a beta to an alpha to a theta you drop down into a space of deep silence & profound energy & you’ll expand into a consciousness that’s bigger than you. Then you’ll start to feel the presence & consciousness of the divine beings our there in the universe.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you manage your energy consistently your whole life is better.”

“Meridians aren’t the same thing as the central channel, they work along the same lines but at a different depth.”

“The soul lesson is connecting the soul from the galactic perspective to the Earth plane perspective.”

“By connecting with the ball of light at the centre of our galaxy, that opens you up to a larger perspective of what’s happening in our entire galaxy & all of the billions of planets and lifeforms.”

The Power of the Chakras: Upper Earth and Solar System

Sat, 22 Jun 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about chakras that get out of balance if we’re feeling depressed or disconnected.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

These are two upper chakras that are above the head, their function is that when something’s going on in our environment, around the Earth or in the solar system – like an asteroid/comet is shooting through – that can affect our solar system chakra. Sometimes you feel loopy, weird, spacey, out of it even though you don’t know why, sometimes that has something to do with things going on above us. You might want to clear these upper chakras.
The soul lesson of the Upper Earth chakra is to fulfil a desire to incarnate on the Earth plane. Its colour is silver & its purpose is feeling your connection with spirit at all times while you are present in your body.
Through your Solar System chakra you can tune into information that’s happening in the solar system from the beings that regulate & work with what’s happening in our solar system. The soul lesson for this chakra is connected the soul to this particular solar system & this [articular area for incarnation. The colour is gold, orientation is connecting the higher consciousness of your soul to the solar system. Unconscious issues can create blockages or congestion lower down the shashisma.
The Upper Earth chakra has to do with your feeling oneness & a connection with spirit. Some abuses and traumas can have to do with frustration on the Earth plane; feeling like it’s a scary place, feeling like you’re tired of experiencing different kinds of mental abuse or mental illness or being abandoned by source.

BEST MOMENTS

“These upper chakras are like GPS for your soul to come into your body.”

“There are beings that are responsible for what’s happening in the solar system, like spiritual masters, & a way to connect with them is through your Solar System Chakra.”

“Some people, when their upper chakras aren’t open compensate with excesses (drugs & alcohol) or fear of the ‘heavy energies’ on the Earth plane.”

“Some people who meditate all the time do so because they’re trying to avoid dealing with the lessons of the Earth plane & why we came here.”

The Power of the Chakras: The Transpersonal Point Chakra

Sat, 08 Jun 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how the transpersonal point chakra and its effect on how present you are in your body & feelings of floating above yourself or being disengaged.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Downloads are bits of data that are sent from spirit, downloaded from higher consciousness through the central channel through the upper chakras & the transpersonal point through your crown & from there through your brain & body. People call it inspiration, epiphanies, bolts of insight.
The soul lesson is recognising your choice to incarnate in your body on the Earth plane, & the colour is opalescent white. The purpose is to fill yourself with spirit at all times.
The Earth plane is a wild place. It can be delightful, joyful, harmonious, fun, amazing, creative, but it can also be very dangerous & stressful as we all know. It’s important for us to make a point; we chose to be here, we came into body & matter to solve something, experience it & grow through resolving it.
Positive personality traits of this chakra are: Feeling optimistic, trusting in the plan, being flexible, & trusting the flow of the universe. Negative traits are: Feeling depressed, anxious, disconnected from people & the divine. When we’re connected to the source energy we also feel connected to other people.

BEST MOMENTS

“The transpersonal point chakra is the GPS for your soul. It’s between 1.5-3 feet above your head & it has to do with your soul’s way of connecting with your body.”

“The energies of wisdom & information come into us from higher levels of existence, so these charkas should be open, but not too open.”

“When people are really depressed, the chakra is not open.”

“This is your body’s connection with spirit or your body as a temple for the soul – it’s the place for your spirit to reside while you’re living here on Earth.”

Eileen Vierra and the Power of Memory 2

Sat, 25 May 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Eileen Vierra to talk about memory books and how they can keep alive the memory of somebody you love who has passed or keep memories alive for those with dementia.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s important to tell stories, but it’s also important to write them down. When my grandmother had dementia I created a 7x’’ book for her reminding her who people were. People with dementia remember really old memories, not current ones which is fascinating because you think that memories fade when you get old.
The sense of smell in the brain is close to the memory centre in the brain. That’s why, if you walk into a place & you smell cookies, it can take you back in time to when you were a little kid, or when you smell someone’s perfume & it reminds you of your grandmother.
Celebration of Life books are important for a couple of different reasons: They give you a place to go to relive somebody who’s special in your life that has passed. Sometimes photos drive the book and other times text drives the book. You can also do them for pets.
You can also put generational information in the book about who the person was, who their parents were, where they were born, names, dates, family information & history. Not only do you then have that information but so does your whole family, especially if you make copies of it and share it with them. It tells the story of their life, their businesses and how they changed over time.

BEST MOMENTS

“Looking at scrapbooks and memory books illicits memories from the past.”

“Photos take you back in time, they’re like tickets to the past.”

“The process of making the books can be really therapeutic for people.”

“Nostalgia is good for people’s psychology & their social wellbeing.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Eileen Vierra has worked in many different industries, from banking to teaching, & even as a tour guide for T-Mobile Park & the Seattle Mariners. But, through her life, one thing has remained constant: Scrapbooking. She loves creating things that tell a story, that can be held & felt, that are cherished for years to come.

Eileen then learned about Creative Memories where she could create scrapbooks for others. She quickly realized that her business was going to beyond selling products, she wanted to see how to do it for themselves. So, she set up Saturday Workshops for them & later ‘Coffee Crops’ daytime workshops & more recently, Weekend Scrapbooking Retreats.

Eileen considers herself an educator, a scrapbooker, & a facilitator who doesn’t just provide the supplies but shows people how to use them.

The Power of the Chakras: The Crown Chakra

Sat, 18 May 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how the crown chakra can help if you’re feeling depressed, like you have no connections to anyone, or like you weren’t switched on or lit up about life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Those of us who have a crown chakra that’s too open have a tendency to try to check out from life with too much meditation, using drugs, too much service work/giving. Those whose crow chakra closed it affects our pineal gland which affects our sleep/waking cycles & mood, it’s really important we have the crown chakra open.
It’s element is ether, its archetype is the higher power/divine, its sense is claircognisance which is a kind of knowing, people who download information & know stuff – A bit like in The Matrix where the characters are plugged in and information is downloaded into them.
Positive personality traits of this chakra is feeling oneness with all beings & yourself & god/the divine. Negative personality traits are wishing to escape from physical reality & not taking responsibility for their Earth-plane life; their actions, choices, decisions to live a healthy, balanced adult life.
Understanding that you’re connected to the source of the universe & that you’re always connected helps people resolve issues with their fear of death. That comes up a lot with age, as people get closer to a point of leaving their body, a lot of people experience anxiety & depression around that. When the crown chakra is open & they feel connected with source it can help to alleviate those feelings.

BEST MOMENTS

“This chakra connects our soul to our body, it brings in spiritual energy from the universe.”

“Doing too much of something is not balance. Meditate regularly if you want to become self-realised but, if you meditate all the time that’ll be a problem, you can’t check out all the time.”

“If your crown chakra is too open I teach people to make it smaller and divert that extra energy down to energise their other chakras, especially the root chakra.”

“If you ever feel anxious, freaked out or overwhelmed, you probably have too open of a crown chakra.”

The Power of the Chakras: Third Eye

Sun, 12 May 2024 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about how to open up your ability to see auras & how to trust your own intuition more deeply.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you want to see the auric field you have to open the third eye chakra because it has to do with your ability to see things from a higher perspective, which includes energies like the ones around people’s bodies. Its element is light or the mind, its archetype is Athena the goddess of wisdom & judgement, the sense is inner vision or clairvoyance, & its shape is the star.
Meditate first to open up your third eye. Ideally, you meditate on opening your third eye. Get someone to sit in front of a light or dark background, breathing normally. Then you open your eyes and look around that person, when you first open your eyes you can usually see a layer of the auric field which has to do with the condition of the physical body.
The third eye activates the higher mind for creative thinking & brings awareness of the big picture & one’s place in it. It’s our source of insight, inner vision & spiritual intuition. Interestingly, body image & self-image are also beliefs that develop in this chakra.
Trusting in divine perfection helps us understand that things are happening that are not in our control but are happening for a reason. While we may not understand them right now we might later. When the third eye chakra is open it can help you see that.

BEST MOMENTS

“This chakra will help you to see visions, the future, to open up to higher awareness. A lot of this is also learning to trust your own intuition & what you see.”

“A lot of people who have intuitive abilities have been taught to ignore them because we tend to tune things out.”

“The aura has 7 different layer which are each related to a different issue/area of life.”
“We can’t make changes in our lives if we don’t believe we can change. We need to see ourselves differently and make changes in order to shift.”

The Power of the Chakras: The Zeal Point Chakra

Sun, 05 May 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the chakra that works with the energy of motivation, the motivation to grow, to heal, & to expend your consciousness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Zeal Point chakra is a new chakra, if you work with this energy you can combine it to work with your third eye and your intuition, which is your crown chakra that works with your higher consciousness.
The Zeal Point is located in the upper lip through to the occiput in the back. Its element is ether, which activates spiritual awareness, and its archetype is the shaman.
The thoughts that we think and feel are influenced by other people’s thoughts and we influence other people through our thoughts, feelings and beliefs too.
It requires a lot of enthusiasm, drive and desire to shift yourself into higher states of consciousness, or even higher states of existence in your day-to-day life.
If you are advancing in your career, expanding your network, increasing your volunteer work, and striving to improve your life, it indicates that your Zeal Point chakra is open.
The Sacral chakra is associated with positive personality traits such as excitement, motivation to move forward on your path, and being willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals.
The Sacral chakra can involve making changes to your belief systems, thinking patterns, habits, and actions to make progress. This may include embarking on a workout regimen, making changes to your diet, or starting to save or invest your money.

BEST MOMENTS

“Opening the Zeal Point chakra gives you the motivation to move forward, keep going & keep growing.”
“Aspects of the divine can manifest as a flavour. Some say they’ve experienced Lord Krishna and he has a blueberry flavour & Mother Mary tastes like roses.”
“The purpose of this chakra is to assist you with motivation on your spiritual path.”
“We up-level according to our divine purpose because we have trust that it’s guiding us & that we’re going to align with it.”

The Power of the Chakras: The Throat Chakra

Sat, 27 Apr 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the how opening the throat chakra and how it can help with trouble with over-giving & not enough receiving, expressing your needs, wants & desires, or how you feel about your work or relationships that are difficult & fraught.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your ability to express yourself is one of the most important traits that you have, it applies to so many situations in your life; your interactions with people, the way you communicate in business & relationships, also your ability to say what you need & want, & the ability to receive – which are areas of deficiency for a lot of people.
In my experience in my massage practice is that the neck is the tightest part of the body. The longest distance in the world is the distance between the head & the heart & a lot of the congestion & the stuck energy is in the neck. People shut down their throat chakra & stuff down their feelings & their throat gets so tight they can’t speak their mind. They could also be shy, embarrassed or are socially awkward, these are all places where people don’t express their inner truth or experiences about something.
If you want to open this chakra you could use your voice, write, sound out your feelings, toning, singing. All these tools can be used to express your feelings, needs, emotional states & to become more conscious of what is happening in your own body.
It’s important to gather information from the world by reading & hearing. We process that information through the temporal lobe & visual centres in our brain, but we also process that energy through the throat chakra. The ability to hear our spirit guides is also processed through the throat chakra as well as the ability to channel energy, do guided writing, or telepathy.

BEST MOMENTS

“The throat chakra is the seat of hearing & clairaudience, it’s your ability to hear & receive information but it’s also expressing divine will & the ability to speak your truth.”

“This chakra is also the seat of responsibility, truth, finding one’s voice & the ability to receive.”

“It’s really important to clear debilitating mental belief patterns & eliminate energy chording patterns that feed into old belief patterns or self-talk or things we’ve heard from other people in our lives.”

“People who gossip, boast, curse too much, have a dominating voice, they interrupt people all the time, & they exaggerate are all expressions of too much energy flowing out through that chakra & not going in. Chakras are supposed to send energy in & out of the body.”

The Power of the Chakras: The Thymus Chakra

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the how opening the thymus chakra can help with getting focussed on finding direction, sense of meaning, or a purpose in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A lot of people lack a life direction, there are a lot of books & courses dedicated to teaching people how to get in touch with their life purpose. One of the things people lack is an understanding of why they’re here, what’s the point, why are they doing this? The lesson of this chakra is about being true to yourself & your purpose.
Some of us go through our lives ‘as normal people’, we have kids, a job, relationships. As the kids start stepping into adulthood some of us take that time to revisit and ask why we’re here. Sometimes we end our relationships (romantic or friendships), or we end a job. It’s important to have a reason rather than feel aimless, now you get to figure out who you are, why you’re here, & set soul goals.
When you feel a sense of significance & importance, either with a person that you meet or an activity that you do, that’s because your thymus chakra is ready the energy of that potential activity. It could be going on a retreat or studying in a certain field of study, it’s about deciding to do something to fulfil your purpose.
The thymus glad itself is a very important glad that is large when we’re children & produces T-cells, which is an important part of our immune system. But, it tends to shrink when we grow into adulthood. This is symbolic, but a lot of times, as kids, we’re very open to the newness & joy of life, exploring what that means, & excited about it. As we get older we tend to get a little jaded & shut down. The chakra can still be opened although the glad itself has shrunk.

BEST MOMENTS

“This new chakra exists halfway between the throat and heart chakra at the base of the throat. It has to do with your life purpose, why you’re here & what you came here for.”

“It’s important for us to have meaning to our lives, otherwise we tend to get depressed.”

“If you run into someone & you feel like you know them, you should explore getting to know that person more because there’s probably a reason you feel that way & it’s probably pretty important.”

“If it feels scary, that might mean that it’s important for you to do, look at or accomplish. It may actually help you accomplish your true purpose by doing that thing.”

The Power of the Chakras: The Heart

Sat, 13 Apr 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the heart chakra & how to bring more unconditional love into your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A lot of us have issues with our hearts, it’s the theme of a lot of stories, plays, & movies where someone has a closed heart who aren’t able to love & they finally meet someone that opens them up to loving. In the spiritual journey, the heart chakra is the joining between the spiritual, human self & the spiritual self.
The sense of the heart chakra is feeling & touch, the soul lesson is sister- or brother-hood or love, compassion, companionship, but it’s also love. The colour for the heart chakra is green or pink, if you’re wearing any green or pink jewellery or clothes, eating green or pink foods, looking at green or pink flowers, all those things work with the heart chakra. The orientation is self-acceptance & acceptance of others. IN the last few years that’s been a major problem, there’s been a lot of judgement, cancel culture, people getting mad about 1 tiny thing & rather than talk bout it they cancel someone & never speak to them again or getting in fights on social media. Those are all signs of having a closed heart chakra.
Your heart is an organ that has its own intelligence. You’ve heard people talk about the head & the heart wanting different things, I talk about the trifecta: The head, the heart & the body; when all aspects of that self are united things flow really well. If you bring the spirit in too, that really binds things.
The glands and organs affected by this chakra are the heart, obviously, & the pericardium, which is a sack of tissue that surrounds & protects the heart, the lungs, and the pleurite which protects your lungs, & even your arms which is why sometimes people feel heart attacks in their arms – mostly men more than women.

BEST MOMENTS

“The Sanskrit word for the heart chakra is ‘Anahata’ which means ‘unstruck’.”

“Especially in cultures where there’s a lot of mental activity, judgement is a key activity that we tend to overdo, you want to do your best to not judge people.”

“Empathy is something that’s been missing a lot in recent years & it’s something we have to work on as a collective species to get back, it’s important, & part of that is opening up the heart chakra.”

“When you’re spending time with someone who makes you feel good mentally, emotionally & physically, that’s a good match or connection for you, romantically.”

The Power of the Chakras: Diaphragm

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about issues with digestion, the top and bottom halves of your body feeling disconnected, issues with feeling humourless, social skills or relaxing & how these can be helped by your diaphragm chakra.

A great book to do Shadow Work with to open the Diaphragm Chakra is Romancing the Shadow by Connie Zweig and Phillip Wolf.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The diaphragm chakra deals with unprocessed emotional upset or trauma & deeply held family patterns. The sole lesson of this chakra is letting go of these things & its colour is burgundy.
Yoga teaches you to breath with all of your lungs, down to the diaphragm and back up. To do that you have to sit & pay attention to your breath which puts you in a situation where you have to present. When you’re being present you are put in touch with your feelings & what’s happening inside of you rather than being up inside your head with the chatter & thinking about a bunch of ‘stuff’.
When you’re stressed you natural repress feelings, it’s part of the survival mechanism. When you’re running away from a lion you can’t be in touch with all your feelings because you wouldn’t be able to function the way you need to in order to survive. When you relax the feelings come back. The problem is that people are running around feeling stressed all the time & stress is a really big issue, it’s the source of a lot of health problems & affects our emotional state & our biochemistry. When you work with your diaphragm chakra to let yourself feel again it helps to release stress, increase cortisol, helps you get in touch with deeper things that you may have been shutting off. These are not always bad things either.
It’s amazing that people can spend decades running away from emotions that are attached to a core wound. They have a feeling they’re afraid to feel again, so they wrap layers of other emotions around it. The deepest part of healing is removing those layers, getting in touch with them, feeling them & releasing them until you get to the core. Once you get to the core & release that, the dynamic of whatever that trauma/upset releases & you’re feed up & have more energy to do other things like be happy, be motivated to accomplish your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

“One way to know you have tension in your diaphragm is if you’re not taking deep breaths.”

“This chakra helps us understand how we perceive reality & regulates how we process our deep unconscious emotions.”

“Emotions are like layers of a cake/onion… when you get all the way to the core the emotion is released & the chakra clears.”

“If you get in touch with your family patterns & the emotions behind them, the goal is not to continue to repeat them, it’s to transition out of those & to heal them so that your descendants & their descendants don’t have to repeat these patterns.”

The Power of Cording Release

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about energy cords & how to disengage your energy from other people in a healthy way – not from cord cutting, but through disengagement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cords are bioplasmic streamers, energies that we send out from our energy system, through our chakras or sometimes through our auric field to connect to other people. It’s normal for us to do this on a daily basis, whenever we meet someone & engage with them we’re cording, even looking at them. It’s normal for people to attach through cording, the problem is staying attached after we need to disengage. We sometimes don’t know how to let go, or they don’t know how to let go of us.
A lot of people who work in the energy medicine field teach cord cutting, but the problem with this is you create an injury to a cord while cutting it. What you should do is disengage energy – theirs from your field & yours from their – & clean the energy up as it passes through. You don’t want to send bad energy to others because that creates bad karma for you.
Disengaging cording is like leaving a room & going out the front door. You literally leave them in their space & you in your space. This is a very helpful process when you feel like you need to clear energy after an argument or you have a busy day seeing lots of clients, you don’t want to take the energy of the previous client(s) into the meeting with the next one.
Use the violet flame to transmute negative energy into positive energy so you’re not bring their negative energy back into your space. When you release your energy from their field you should also do this for the same reason. This cleans up not only the frequencies of these energies but it opens up and clears your energy so you can be clear of mind, focussed & at peace. In this state you have the ability to identify upcoming goals, actions you’re going to take to follow through on them, clear up resistances to positive changes in you life, take action. It gets you out of being stuck into movement, action & flow.

BEST MOMENTS

“As humans we attach & we tend to stay attached, such as still thinking about someone from a love relationship even if it didn’t end well.”

“Sometimes you can feel bad juju or bad energy from someone, that’s because they’re sending energy your way & the thoughts aren’t necessarily positive.”

“Cording in & of itself isn’t a bad thing, it’s natural to connect with people when you interact.”

“Cords are energetic structures like arms & legs, when you cut them you damage them, it’s like cutting someone’s arm off. You don’t cut, you just diengage.”

The Power of Chakras: Solar Plexus

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about self-esteem issues, lacking clarity or motivation & how the solar plexus chakra can help with these issues

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The solar plexus charka is a really important chakra because it has to do with how we feel energy, how we flow it through our system, & how we read other people’s energy. If this chakra isn’t clear, we don’t accurately perceive other people’s energy.
The solar plexus is a name for the extensive nerve plexus that’s in the belly. Its purpose is to make sure the intestines are functioning correctly so that we can absorb our food. But, it’s also very sensitive to our emotions & feelings which are in turn influenced by the energy that flows through the solar plexus chakra which is yellow. If you’re not feeling motivated you probably need to eat, wear, look at, & visualise yellow.
The purpose of this chakra is transformation because – physiologically - we’re taking food and turning it into energy in the intestines. It’s also about mental clarity; if you’re feeling foggy you probably have something going on with your digestive system. If the digestive flora are not doing well it can affect our mood & our mental clarity. There’s definitely a connection between what’s in your food & what’s in your mind, it can affect our mood.
We send chords out through this chakra out to touch other people. There’s nothing wrong with chording, we do reach out to other people & send energy back & forth through those chords, the problem is when we over-chord, over-attach & try to pull/push energy from/to other people & stay attached when we need to let people go.

BEST MOMENTS

“You want to work with this chakra by flowing yellow energy in the middle of your belly.”

“We need to feel self-esteem & like what we have to say, share, or who we are is of value or interest to other people. Confidence also emanates from this chakra.”

“Release your attachments to outcomes & other people.”

“It’s all about balance, not too much or too little of something, you want something that’s just right.”

The Power of Birthdays

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of birthdays and gives some fun ideas on how to celebrate yours, whether it’s something you celebrate for a day, a month or something you try to ignore.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You could use your birthday as a personal State of The Union. It could give you some perspective on how you’ve done in the past year, how you are today & where you’re going. If you haven’t been goal-oriented in the past, this exercise can be enlightening on your journey.
Instead of feeling bad, guilty ashamed about, or even punishing or judging yourself for something you feel like you should have done differently in the past, visualise/imagine that you’re someone else looking back at their past year. As that other person you have no emotional attachment or judgement, you’re just observing. What could this person have done differently? Ask them how they feel about the actions taken that they feel they could have done differently.
If you think about where you are in your life right now, at the time of your birthday, you could take your practical goals that you’ve been writing about on your focus wheels (if you’re using them) & think about what’s been coming to you in your dreams recently about something you’d like to accomplish. You could write those ideas down as things you would like to accomplish now & in the near future.
Do you feel like exploring, inspiring, helping, saving (money or time, not people as this can lead to a Messiah Complex which makes like more complicated). Think about your life right now & how you can bring more joy to it by spending time doing actions & with people that light you up.

BEST MOMENTS

“Where have I been, where am I now & where am I going?”

“What has happened in the past year that you would have liked to have done differently?”

“What choices or changes could you incorporate into your goals right now & coming up in the near future that’s different?”

“A lot of the time your dreams are actually guides to help you create what you’d like to create in the future. Sometimes you higher self communicates with you through your dreams.”

The Power of Dreams

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of dreams in a dream-like way, which is the most useful way to talk about this subject.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I remembered wanting to be a ballerina dancing on stage & making people happy with the dance. I remember wanting to get straight As even though other students mocked that kind of performance where I grew up. I remember wanting my mum to find another nice man to be with after my parents divorced. As I recalled the dreams I was flooded with many kinds of feelings and wishes & I realised that a lot of the things I wanted to happen lived in my dreams.
Karl Jung talked about seeing every character in a dream as yourself as well as looking at vehicles in dreams as representations of your life & the state of your life. If you look at these things in your dreams as different aspects of you or your life you could use that information to address dealing with scary dreams.
We all repress things, it’s part of living in a society that has rules & values which we don’t always agreed with, we supress certain parts of our personalities to live in societies. It’s understandable that you might process some of those feelings through your dreams. But, the shadow side in your nightmares is not evil.
Common pursuit dreams involved being chased by something or something that’s scary, eventually you hit a dead end & have to turn and face it. It you practice making intentions before going to sleep to remember your dreams when you wake up, there’ll be a symbol in the dream that’s going to help you realise that you’re dreaming. What you can then do is you can control the dream, freeze the pursuers, ask them why they’re pursuing you & you can either fight them, tickle them, wave a magic wand & change them to being friendly.

BEST MOMENTS

“I never met a dream I didn’t like.”

“My dreams changed & became more family oriented as I got older, they became more about processing my emotions & understanding myself at a deeper level.”

“Dream language doesn’t work in a logical, rational way but through association & symbolism.”

“The outside world reflects your internal landscape. When you change the way you relate to what’s going on in your subconscious you can also experience different results in your outer world.”

The Power of the Focus Wheel

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of manifesting & gives you a great tool called the ‘My Focus Wheel’, which you can find on her website as well as the form she references during the show.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of my favourite aspects to this form (which looks like a pie chart & you rank the sections from 1-10) is the statement: ‘what I’m delegating to the universe’. It’s important to delegate stuff to the universe because, while you’re in a process of manifesting & creating it’s very important to say what you want to create, to take steps on that & to be clear on what those steps are. However, there are certain things that are going to be outside of our control like other people’s problems/issues, finding a significant other. This takes it off your personal plate.
A lot of us want to create certain dreams, experiences or energies in our lives, delegating the ‘how’ is a way to put out to the universe that you want to manifest this thing even if you don’t know how. Sometimes we get intuitive hits to move forward with a certain point of action/project/person & then our mind freaks out and gives us imposter syndrome or self-sabotaging thoughts, these are also good things to delegate out to the universe.
If your 2 big declarations are: I am a magical manifestor & I am at peace, the next segment of the focus wheel asks what you’re manifesting this week. Here you’d put “I’m taking action on my intuition/ideas” or “I’m going to meditate 15 minutes a day to get in touch with my intuition” & what you’d like to create for the day. For peace it can also be meditation or it could also be that you’re letting go emotionally whenever issues arise, as well as “I take regular walks in nature”.
Why is it important to recap on your wins and achievements during the week? It give you a dopamine hit & we need that. We need to take a few minutes – especially if life is hard – to sit in that energy of what’s working, what’s good, what are you grateful for, what are you happy about, what makes you feel alive. Be specific: What did you do?

BEST MOMENTS

“It helps you focus on what’s working & what’s not in your life, & what you can do about it. It’s great way to tap into resilience, creativity & to get some new ideas about how to do things.”

“When most people have fears come up, they are more about the fear of success than failure because, when you manifest that your life is going to change.”

“A lot of us have what I call ‘the box of limitations’ – a set of beliefs that keep us small & tiny & in a space where we’re not manifesting who we want to be as the biggest, best person we could be.”

“If the numbers on your wheel are 5 or less, that’s an area you could do some work on.”

The Power of the Chakras: Sacral Chakra

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how the energies processed by the Sacral Chakra can help with money issues, lack of creativity or putting some zing into your relationship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The location of this chakra is just above the pubic bone in the front of the body & at the sacrum in the back. The colour is orange for this chakra, its element is water & the archetype is the emperor or empress representing power, fertility, abundance, & the ability to create what you want. It’s your energetic home & your relationship with yourself in the back & your relationship with other people in the front.
If you see people walking around & they’re not looking happy or like life is not a joyful experience for them, they probably need some energy flowing through this chakra. People could also be having issues with their reproductive systems, or even their kidneys, bladders or urethra, all those organs can be affected by this chakra.
The point of this chakra is about experiencing the world through touch. The basic rites here are to desire, to create, to feel, & to have pleasure. It’s the centre of feeling, intimacy, connection, movement & change. Experiencing pleasure & delight at living is at the core of our existence – not just sexual pleasure but just happiness & joy of being alive, it’s all those things – it’s the ability to experience pleasure. How much we allow ourselves is an indication of how we value ourselves & how we are connected to our own core, abode, identity.
This chakra is about taking the energy that’s coming up from the Earth & feeding your physical body, taking it & then having a desire & a joy of experiencing life & expressing that creatively. You can express that in the ways you make or spend money, the new ways you come up with to look at things, new ideas, options & experiences, the ways you express yourself creatively. A lot of people think they’re not create & that’s not true; you don’t have to paint, do ceramics or write poetry to be creative. Some people are creative problem solvers.

BEST MOMENTS

“A lot of people have deficiencies here with money (attracting/saving/spending) or relationships with other people (not just romantic, but business & friendships).”

“Positive traits of this chakra are sexuality, positivity & openness, & negative traits are too much focus on sex, strong base emotions like anger or desire, guilt & shame.”

“If we allow pleasure into our lives it helps us feel good about ourselves.”

“Passion’s an essential motivating energy for vitality, power & creativity.”

The Power of Managing Stress

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks abouthow to manage stress, this episode is especially if you’re in a giving profession like massage or psychotherapy, or a mum or entrepreneur, or if you feel your stress levels are too high generally.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In caregiving professions were dealing with a lot of other peoples’ stress as well as our own stress, so it’s easy to get stressed out. If we’re not careful burnout could be around the corner & burnout could end your career. So, we’re going to have to do something about it.
Short term stress is something the body can handle. The nervous system’s response is to send cortizols into the bloodstream and the body sends extra glucose to the brain, making our muscles strong, inhibiting digestion & sending blood to the skeletal muscle so that we can respond quickly.
There’s positive and negative stress. Positive stress has to do with growth. When we experience something new that challenges us or forces us to change our behaviour, we experience stress – like being in a new job or class. Negative stress can be debilitating, high stress levels in the adrenal glands can cause them to increase cortizol levels which, over an extended period of time may cause all sorts of health challenges.
Exercise, hang out with friends, go on vacation, take a spa day, go to a museaum, festival or concert, take a guided visualisation, practice yoga or thai chi, do some deep breathing. All of thes activities will releive stress. Sometimes I like to go out & hug a tree, trees have a vibrational frequency that’s in alignment with our brains when we are in meditation.

BEST MOMENTS

“Our bodies were never meant to carry lots of cortizol over an extended period of time, our tissues can’t have cortizol in them all the time without experiencing negative effects.”
“When was the last time you did something fun for yourself that you enjoy? Everybody needs rewards, we give our kids & clients rewards.”
“Everyone needs a balance of yin & yang in their lives.”
“If you listen to your cells, the rewards are great.”

The Power of Chakras: Energise Yourself!

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, in this series on energy anatomy, Ariel continues the journey into the chakras, by giving you the tools to gain access to more energy if you’re feeling drained.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why should you care about your chakras? These are energy structures that bring energy into & out of your body through your energy field & out into the world. The chakras affect you in the physical world; your organs, body regions, & glands.
If you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated one or more of your chakras is probably too open. You can adjust how open your chakras are. You can set an intention & ask the specific chakra to open or close by a percentage & to spiral more or less energy in or out. Most people aren’t taught how to regulate this energy because it’s been ignored in the Western hemisphere for years.
To stimulate flow through your chakras; wear, eat foods in, look at plants, paingints or color swatches of the color of the chakra. Chant affirmations for a chakra. Use essential oils, herbs or foods that stimulate chakra flow. Play music or instruments in the note of a specific chakra. Chant the “seed syllable”, or the sound of the chakra. When you do, you may notice changes in your external life as your internal energy changes. Make a note of that in your journal or in your observations. When our internal flow changes, so do the results we experience.

BEST MOMENTS

“Clear the Chakras with the Violet Flame first! Visualize a violet flame in the chakra you want to clear to transmute negative energy, & THEN charge it with the color appropriate to that chakra.”

“The reason why a lot of empaths are overstimulated by someone in emotional distress is because their own chakras are too open. They’d feel much more comfortable if they learned to regulate their input.”

“Address the issues associated with certain chakras. For instance, if you aren’t grounded you could walk on the ground with shoes off & feel the Earth. Or you could make a plan to accomplish a specific goal & take action steps for that plan.”

“If you are a Reiki practitioner or an energyworker, you can send energy clear, charge, balance & harmonize a chakra.”

The Power of the Plumber

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, Ariel talks about what to do when something unexpected happens, like your pipes burst in the middle of winter. It’s not a fun experience, & is why the podcast has been delayed recently, but it is a good learning experience.

Thanks Kathy, James, Maria & Peter for helping me with my pipes & a crisis! You are awesome! - Ariel

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Make sure you vet (check out their social media views, website, etc) & get their contact information ahead of time. The last thing you need when you are stressed & are hurriedly moving your possessions to keep them from getting flooded out & ruined by water is to take time to do this research then! You will need to call your plumber ASAP when there is flooding.
If your broken pipes are on outside walls, you should consider paying more to replace PVC with copper pipes & have the plumber insulate them to prevent future breakage.
Per my friend Peter Kakoczky, water & fire damage restoration is a $24 billion industry & the biggest expense for home insurance companies. Normally people would call an insurance company to make a claim to get emergency work. However, I have been speaking with insurance brokers & some insurance companies are cancelling long-term client policies just for making a claim, so you may want to reconsider before you file a claim with your insurance company.
Water intrusion is flooding, handled by companies (like Service Masters or ServePro, or Paul Davis), vs mold remediation. A mold remediation company removes any mold & replaces the insulation. Mold growth on drywall takes 5 days, on wood 2 weeks. If you address water intrusion immediately, you’re less likely to have mold.

BEST MOMENTS

“You will need: 1-2 plumbers to do the plumbing repair. In the greater Seattle area: James with Smart Plumbing Solutions. 206-913-3417, & please tell him Ariel sent you.”

“Sometimes pipe breaks happen when you’re on vacation or don't know they’re happening, a slow drip or long exposure can cause mold to grow. A mold remediation company can get rid of it for you. In the greater Seattle area: Peter Kakoczky at Mold Solutions NW 425-313-5900, & please tell him Ariel sent you. Nationally: Service Masters, ServePro, Paul Davis”

“A drywall guy can seal up the wall once the plumbing has been repaired. In the greater Seattle area: Gerardo Suarez Vasquez at 509-901-5627, & please tell him Ariel sent you.”

“You may need a painter if your drywall guy doesn’t do that. In the greater Seattle area: Nader Naderi Unique Painting and Design 206-240-9200.”

“If you have waterlogged, damaged or ruined possessions, companies can help remove these items. In the greater Seattle area: Maria Costello from Junkluggers at 206-794-0155 which has franchises nationally.”

The Power of Chakras: Earth & Feet

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, in this series on energy anatomy, Ariel continues the journey into the chakras, beginning with the Earth and between-the-feet chakras & why those affect you in your daily life & why it’s important.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Imagine that green light emanates from the Divine Source at the Center of the Universe (your Universal Chakra), & flows down your Sushumna or Central Channel, clearing it as it goes. It sends you healing energy as it flows down through all of the chakras at the midline of your body, all the way out through each leg & foot.
Imagine you are connecting with the hot molten Mother Earth energy through your roots. How does this feel? Be present to how it makes you feel. Do you notice any changes? What happens to your energy when you ground? Were you grounded before?
The flow the healing energy of the Earth all the way back up to your feet & through your Central Channel, out the top of your head & flow the green light all around & down through your auric field until it completely encapsulates you & charges you with green light.
Use this exercise whenever you feel “spacy,” “in your head,” “floaty,” or not present. It will help you clear distractions & be more focused in any situation.

BEST MOMENTS

“When people say they don’t have the bandwidth to deal with something, that’s not just an expression of poor mental functioning, it’s an expression of how much energy is flowing through the central channel.”
“The lower chakras from first in life & they have to do with our feelings, thoughts and needs as human beings & how we express them.”
“The higher chakras process spiritual energy; unconditional love, intuitive guidance & our connection with source.”
“.One of the ways to shift what happens in your external life is to work on what happens with yourself internally.”

The Power of Chakras: Intro

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, the first in a new series on energy anatomy, Ariel talks about the chakras and how it applies to you, your life and why you need to know about it – because you do!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Chakras are energy centres that receive, integrate and express life force energy. Literally, they are vortexes that spiral energy into & out of your body. Most people think energy is expressed out through the chakras and don’t realise energy also comes in through the chakras. That is how we read the energies from other people, from food, animals, what’s coming into your future. This is how empaths receive information and they read different information through different chakras.
If you just KNOW information, you’re reading it through your crown chakra (conscience). If you’re reading visually, like auras, your third eye chakra is open (clairvoyance). If you can hear your spirit guides, people on the other side, or information about other people, these are you ear and throat chakras (clairaudience). If you can feel other people’s feelings that through your solar plexus chakra (clairsentience). If you can taste energy, that’s a chakra in your tongue (clairgoostance). If you can smell it, that’s a chakra in your nose (clairolfactance). There are thousands of chakras all over the body, but the main ones are all along the central channel.
Chakras transmit and receive energy consciously and subconsciously. Sometimes when you’re around other people and they speak another language & all of a sudden it becomes easier for you to communicate in that other language, that’s because information is being transmitted through the chakra, this is called EFR (Energetic Field Resonance).
When I ask a client with neck pain: “How’s work going?” there’s usually some kind of challenge or upset with it. People store stress in their throat chakra as well as the physical neck.

BEST MOMENTS

“Most people think energy work is just balancing the chakras, & that’s a start, but it’s only the beginning point.”
“If your chakras aren’t balanced or cleared they can affect how you perceive reality, your mood, digestion, your ability to relate to other people, your willpower, whether you trust yourself, whether you can express love & affection, & many other things.”
“Chakras can be damaged by trauma, negative or intense experiences.”
“Each chakra vibrates at a specific frequency, like sound, has its own specific colour.”

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about goal-setting and how to really get focussed and create and manifest the year that you want to create.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

New Years are a time of transition. A lot of people see them as a time to shift into something new, a different space, a time to think about what to create in the upcoming 12 months, look at resolutions or words that will categorise the year that’s coming up. It’s a time to pause, if you can, and reflect on what’s coming up.
Sometimes creating goals is more nuanced than simply writing them down and the steps to get to it. Sometimes we step backwards to go forward, sometimes we step sideways, sometimes we take a long detour that eventually gets us back to our goal. It’s OK if moving into a space that you want to get to is not necessarily straightforward. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to accept that it’s not always going to go the way it should.
What kind of year do you want to create? How do you want to feel? What kind of feeling states do you want to experience (joy, peace, satisfaction, freedom)? What can you do to experience those states? Write them down somewhere.
Sometimes we get distracted from our goals by emotional upset, there are a lot of things that push our buttons in life. When you get emotionally triggered it’s important to breathe and do some kind of grounding activity to try to shift the emotional energy out of your body. That could be exercise, yoga, talking a walk, doing art, talking to a friend, writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and burning it. Then, imagine you’re achieving that goal. That gets your mind into a state where you start finding creative answers to how you’re going to achieve that goal.

BEST MOMENTS

“Do you want something different than you had before? Do you want to improve upon what you’ve already got going?”

“Sometimes we just have to let some goals wait until we get higher priority goals complete and then we can move on with the secondary goals, and that’s OK.”

“Sometimes your goals involve other people and they don’t necessarily do things that are in your control, all you can do is try to get in touch with those people, ask for what you need, if you can support them, and then visualise them helping you to achieve your goal.”

“Life doesn’t always show up the way we plan it to, sometimes it’s actually better than what we planned.”

Kim Rahir and the Power of Muscle

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Kim Rahir to talk about her amazing journey from being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis to winning a European Masters Weightlifting Championship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One day I started seeing double, which is so scary. My immune system started attacking the muscle that keeps the eye in place. While I was in hospital undergoing lots of tests my legs started to lose sensitivity and in 2 weeks I was paralysed from the hip down. In the moment I was scared, but right now, I’m grateful for what happened because it put everything into perspective, you wouldn’t believe how much stuff I don’t care about anymore, like being late or your child getting a bad grade, I really know now what’s important and what’s not.
My doctor said my reflexes in the knee would never come back, but it came back with a vengeance, everything came back. I got so fit that I really didn’t have the mindset of a sick person. You could call it denial, but I really just wanted to live my life.
I kept training and lifting and did some fun stuff I’d never dared to do before, like mud racing. I was in my 50s and I would never have dared to do these things when I was in my 30s, I was having a hell of a time! My personal trainer suggested I try Olympic weightlifting which I remembered watching on TV as a girl, and I loved it right away because it’s a mix of skill and strength and it’s explosive.
I’m convinced that becoming muscular saved my life and my health helped me to get out of this illness. When I work with clients everything gets better in their life when they get stronger. Science has been catching up really quickly over the last few years, we know now that muscle mass and muscular health is responsible for metabolic health (blood sugar management), functional independence – which helps you to have more fun and a more fulfilling life, and improved mental health.

BEST MOMENTS

“Exercise is great for MS because MS comes with a lot of fatigue and exercise makes your body fatigue resistant.”
“The common wisdom is that, when you’re older, don’t do dynamic stuff, don’t do explosive movements, go do your yoga class and hold yourself quietly in a corner.”
“One of the leading causes of accidental death is tripping and falling. When you’re 60-70 and have a fall there’s a 50% chance of dying the next year.”
“The muscle-mind connection sounds like a woo-woo concept but it’s actually science.”

The Power of Resilience

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 01:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about what resilience is and how to use it to deal with challenging times during the holidays.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The holidays can be a time of family get togethers, fun, community, celebrating with people we love, but what if you’re single, have no family where you live, feeling challenged, battling loneliness or other negative feelings? It’s really common that a lot of people have negative feelings during the holidays. There are a lot of situations where people don’t have all that positive, happy joy that happens during the holidays. Resilience can help.
If you have the ability to be strong unto yourself and you experience aa difficult situation and you’re able to bounce back into a healthy, positive frame of mind, routine, or being able to deal with the pressures and stresses of your life, that’s resilience.
When you ask for help from friends, family, mentors, online support groups is: What kind of strategies did they use to move through these issues? Did they take courses on how to address or deal with loneliness? Did they get coaching? Did they practice meditation to let go of the negative feelings? Did they exercise to get into a positive frame of mind? Did they get therapy to address the deeper issues associated with loneliness? When you’ve determined the kind of help you need determine what you can do for yourself.
What tools do you have already to help you bounce back? Have you ever done psychotherapy before, or coaching courses, or meditation retreats – any kind of inner work. If you have, what did you learn then that you can use now? If you have been successful before you can be successful again. Do you have friends or family members that you can schedule quality time with that will brighten your life and make you feel happier and more uplifted? How do you usually address adversity? Do you run away from it or toward it? Think about something really challenging that you’ve already experienced and you got through, how did you get through it?

BEST MOMENTS

“Resilience is the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties, toughness. Some people call it grit.”
“Getting support is a really important thing you can do for yourself.”
“Sometimes our problems don’t feel so big when we volunteer to help others who may have bigger problems.”
“Visualising yourself doing something (visual motor rehearsal) is a form of self-hypnotherapy and is a way to literally change your biochemistry to help you have a more positive frame of mind, mindset and step into the power of possibility so you’re more likely to create that outcopme.”

The Power of Receiving Feedback

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, Ariel talks about becoming more powerful than 90% of other people in you interactions as well as more confident, she teaches you how to be free of conflict-avoidant habits by learning to receive feedback.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Most people are conflict-avoidant (at least 90% of people), if you can overcome being conflict-avoidant you can be more powerful than 90% of the people out there in the world. The way to do that is to become comfortable with receiving feedback from other people.
It’s very empowering to be able to own who you are as a person, it’s also an act of self-love, self-compassion and self-acceptance. If you own and accept yourself as a person – your choices, your decisions, what you’ve done in the past, what you’re doing now, what your goals are, and where you are in your life – and can identify areas that are working and not working and what to do to make changes in your life going forward, you’re more open to learning and being a life-long learner which includes learning what people think about you or about how you make other people feel
When you’re receiving information or hearing from other people about something that you’ve done, said, how you’ve shown up or made them feel, if they’re giving you positive feedback it’s really important to be gracious and actually listen to them and receive it. Allow them to give you a compliment and allow yourself to believe it, don’t take transformational workshops to learn how to receive compliments, save yourself a lot of time and money! Just give yourself permission to receive them, it’s not vanity or ego.
If someone is giving you feedback that is negative, try to do your best to listen without being defensive. Most people are terrible at giving feedback, they need to set up a time and place to do it and they need to get your permission and most people don’t know how to do that. If someone tries to give you feedback (outside of a coaching/parent-child situation) without your permission, you might need to say: “I need you to ask me if it’s OK to give this feedback to me before I hear you.”

BEST MOMENTS
“The most powerful thing you can do in you live is leave people with the feeling of being inspired, uplifted, lightened and brightened. If you can do that, you’ve made a difference on this planet and your life was meaningful.”
“One of the ways to grow personally is to make improvements on our perspective, mindset, work on our bodies, attitude, the power of possibility and what we can do to make our lives and ourselves better.”
“Other people probably, in a lot of cases, have more positive opinions of you than you may have of yourself.”
“When people give you feedback, usually a large portion of that is their own issues, their own emotional reactions, their own stuff. There may be something in there that could be a gift for you to learn from, but it’s almost never 100% about you. But sometimes it is you.”

Darren Jamieson and the Power of Knowledge

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined once more by Darren Jamieson to talk about choices in the business world which can also apply to your daily life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You want to make sure you like the clients that you work with because if you do it’s always a much nicer, easier working environment and you’ll go the extra mile for them. If you don’t like them, you dread them calling you, you dread picking up the phone, you dread speaking to them, everything about them. There are certain personality types that don’t gel; the people who go through agency after agency because they’re looking for the one that’s right for them where the reality is they’re the problem. I’ve learned to spot this early on, but I still get the feeling that I shouldn’t turn a client away because it’s business and they might lead to someone else, or they might not be as bad as I think. But, 99 times out of 100 they are!
You need to leave on good terms and make it clear that you’re not the right fit for each other and you both clearly have different paths/journeys to take. Recommend someone that could potentially help them with their journey and where they want to go so that you can go and work with people that aren’t dickheads.
The biggest thing I’ve done in business, and what a lot of people strive to do but don’t quite succeed at, is not going into business and give yourself a job. I run a digital marketing agency, I’d don’t design and build websites, do the SEO, send the email marketing campaigns myself anymore, all of that is done by other people. My job now is talking on podcasts, speaking on stages, networking with people, and doing the kind of stuff that drives leads into the business. You need to hire the right people to do that.
You need to hold onto the people that are good, give them the opportunities they want for growth, that they want to do more ‘cool stuff’ rather than just the technician parts. You need to let other people grow as well, you need to let them make their own decisions and empower them so that when problems or opportunities come into the business they can make those decisions themselves rather than keep coming to you to ask what they should do.

BEST MOMENTS
“My favourite way of firing a client is to have someone else at EngageWeb do it for me because I don’t want to do it!”
“We’ve never had a negative review, we’ve never had anyone have a pop at us on social media or anything. I’m surprised at that because of how outspoken I am, I’ve tried!”
“On paper we had a really good team and should have won, but unfortunately the game wasn’t played on paper, it was played on grass.”
“I hate being the technician and doing the do, it’s boring. You can’t take time off or go anywhere because you stop earning. You need to get off that as soon as you can.”

The Power of Muscle Testing

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel continues her series about connecting with intuition and getting higher guidance by working with muscle testing by accessing the ability to ask questions that can be quite profound.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your body is an energetic as well as physical structure, energy flows through your auric field, through your meridians, your nervous system, and that energy is a way to get answers to your questions. Where your nervous system connects to your muscular system is called a neuro-muscular junction which bridges the energetic and the physical.
The strength of the energy going through your nervous system can be tested by the strength of your muscles, especially when pressure or resistance is applied. If you set an intention: “strong is for yes, weak is for no” when you ask a “yes” question you will see a strong muscular contraction when you apply resistance to a muscle and a “no” question can be answered through the demonstration of a weak muscular connection.
The governing vessel, which is one of the main meridians that feeds energy to the other meridians in the body, is the hard palette in the roof of your mouth. Your conception vessel comes from your pelvis to the tip of your tongue, so when you connect your tongue to the roof of your mouth you’re actually creating a flow of energy, processing and feeling that energy flow as you’re breathing.
If you ask emotional questions about human relationships, like “Is my boyfriend cheating on me”, you might get squishy results. This is where the muscles don’t give you a strong yes or no answer because you’re emotionally attached to the answer or afraid of what the answer is.

BEST MOMENTS
“When you muscle test, you have to be clear.”
“It’s important to let go of your attachment to answers so you can get correct information.”
“The questions you ask have to be yes or no questions, but they also have to be specific, not fuzzy. Although you can start vague and get more specific.”
“If you have high self-esteem – which is one of the biggest issues I encounter in my practice – all of a sudden your life’s going to change because you’re going to want different things, have different boundaries, and demand different things of people than you would if you had low self-esteem.”

The Power of Spirit Guides, Part 2

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 16:44:22 -0000

On this episode Ariel continues her conversation about the power of spirit guides and gives more detail about how you can connect and questions you can ask.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I’ve been working with spirit guides for 52 years, since I was 3. So, for me, talking with spirit guides is normal, I understand why it seems weird to those who don’t have experience with it. Your different chakras and how open they are dictate how you experience information. You also need to slow down your brain waves by doing meditation or repetitive activity to start to connect with them and consistently listen. It requires putting your ego to one side and being open to receiving information, it also requires being grounded and emotionally and energetically clear.
How does it help to work with your guides on a regular basis? Your quality of life can really improve, building trust and trusting that there’s a flow to the universe can happen, getting direction, not only for basic practical things like cooking a great recipe, but also life direction and where it’s in your best interest to connect to the highest energy or consciousness of the universe and how you can contribute to that, also safety, abundance, and aligning with your own personal growth and soul goals.
Most people start getting guidance by getting feelings, their energy is most open in their solar plexus chakra than their other chakras and they start getting feelings. When they start to follow up on those feelings to see what happens, and if they start to see results, they get more feelings to follow up on. It’s a process that develops and could take years, if not decades. The advice I give you will take years off the process if you follow it.
If you set an intention that there’s something you want to manifest or create, often it’s something beyond what you think you can manifest or create now, you may start getting hints, feelings and ideas about actions you could take, people you could talk to, things you could do, and if you follow through on those you could manifest some really incredible things.

BEST MOMENTS
“The more you trust, the more guidance you’ll get.”
“Guides are not beings that know everything, they’re beings that are growing and developing too, but they’re usually several steps ahead of you in spiritual development, so it’s a good idea to follow their suggestions or guidance.”
“The ego wants to keep us where we are and wants to keep us from moving.”
“There are a lot of different types of guides out there: Angels, ancestors, plant guides, animal guides, spirit guides, and even business guides and creativity guides.”

The Power of Spirit Guides

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of spirit guides: Have you ever wondered if you’ve had guides or how to connect with them?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever felt like you weren’t alone, or wished you weren’t alone? Some of us can feel our spirit guides, feel their presence even though we don’t know that they’re there. Sometimes we wish we could connect to our guides; I get asked this a lot. It’s a process that takes time to do, it’s a journey, you can’t just click your fingers and connect with them.
There are personal goals and there are soul goals. Soul goals are the goals we had for coming here, why did we come to this life, what’s the point? They’re usually big picture goals, like I came here to overcome a difficult childhood and still have hope and spread that hope, love and caring to other people, or I came here to inspire or lead people or even a country. Personal goals are different, like I’d like to have a nice family, grow up in a nice place to live, go to good schools, get a good job, have a good career, marry someone great, retire and enjoy the rest of my life.
The universe know what you’re thinking on the inside whether you say it on the outside or not. It knows what you do whether you do it privately or in front of other people and when it does that it creates an energetic record of what you’ve done, and it’s about bringing things into balance. If you commit good karma, good karma comes back to you, if you commit bad actions, negative consequences come to you. It’s not always direct, it’s not always in one incarnation, sometimes things happen later which is why it’s confusing and people wonder why they’re being punished for being a good person in this life. Sometimes things happen much, much later and there’s not an obvious return on the energy.
Spirit guides help us move through our lives and make choices based on our soul goals and they help us address and deal with some of the things that we have to deal with in life. What does the voice of guidance sound like? There are a lot of different guides and they all have different personalities, some of them a high-vibrational beings, like angels, some of them are ancestors, plant guides, animal guides, business and creativity guides. They can help you with different projects and things you’re working on. They know what you said you were going to do before you came here that you don’t remember as a human being.

BEST MOMENTS

“Guides are beings – and there are a lot of different types out there – that are there to help you grow as a spiritual person.”
“Karma is a force or an energy generated from the actions, thoughts, feelings and beliefs that you have or commit.”
“Sometimes when we pick our lives and what we’re going to do with them, sometimes part of our soul goal is to pay off karmic debt.”
“Sometimes their communication is obvious, but most of the time it’s not. Most of the time it’s very subtle and the way you learn to communicate with them is by learning how to tune in and listen to things that are subtle, as well as how to calm your mind down and slow down your brain waves so you can actually perceive what they’re sharing.”

The Power of The Empath

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about the power of the empath. If you pick up on other people’s energies and are looking for ways to feel balanced, energetically, or you can’t leave a relationship behind, listen in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever felt like you can’t go to public places because people’s energy did not feel good to you, do you feel overwhelmed by other people’s upsets and anger, do you feel like people’s energy is inside of you and you can’t get it out, do you have a tendency to have a lot of needy and narcissistic people in your life? If so, you’re probably an untrained empath and you don’t need to live your life like that.
Having these abilities is a good thing if you know how to regulate and control them. A lot of people don’t even know that these are abilities, they just know that they feel people’s energy, but they are abilities and they can be honed and trained to use as a skill as and when you want to. You can also regulate and control them so you don’t have to feel people’s energy if you don’t want to.
As an empath from early childhood, I’ve had to find ways to create tools to regulate sensitivity levels. You don’t have to feel like people’s energy regulates/dictates what you or has you avoid people, you don’t have to live like that. When you manage those gifts you do have to admit something to yourself: That as an empath, you’re the one seeking control. You may not like hearing it but it’s true.
When you’re around other people and they’re angry or upset about something, do you think things like: “They have bad energy”, or “I don’t like the way their energy feels”, or “That makes me uncomfortable”, or “My energy is better than that”, just be aware of it because you’re judging them for whatever they’re going through. Human beings have a whole range of emotions that they express and the vibrational frequencies of those different emotions eminate through their fields and, as an empath, you feel what’s going on in their energy field. You can choose how you relate to that; you could judge it, try to change it (which is what most empaths do), or you could let them have what they’re having without judging (being in “allow mode”).

BEST MOMENTS

“You don’t want to feel like you’re being controlled by people’s moods and emotions and you don’t want to feel like you’re being drained by other people.”
“A lot of people that are empaths tend to attract people that are controlling, needy, demanding, or narcissistic people because a lot of empaths have a need to feel needed. That’s something you can change and transform into something that’s a lot healthier.”
“You have a gift. It’s not a burden, but first of all you have to own a few things.”
“Recognise when you don’t care for someone else’s energy and process it on your own, practice energy management, don’t process other people’s energy, cut it out, it’s not your job.”

The Power of Knowledge: Zelle Edition

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about Zelle, some cautionary tales about it and why you shouldn’t use it to save you money and to protect you from being scammed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are different ways to pay each other and a lot of people mention Zelle. Zelle is not secure and it’s rampant with fraud. A report came out on October 3rd about why Zelle is rife with fraud, how people can be taken advantage of and lose their money.
Zelle is a financial services organisation created by a bunch of banks that they don’t necessarily control or report. In other words: If people lose their money on Zelle they never get it back and there’s no way to get it back. They’re breaking their promises to their customers and they’re potentially violating Federal law.
The theft and fraud are rampant on Zelle, and they are increasing. P&C Bank reported that theft amounts increased from 8,848 cases on Zelle in 2020 to over 12,300 in 2022. US Bank reported 14,886 fraud and scam claims on Zelle in 2020 and it went up to 45,000 in 2022. They’re not repaying a vast majority of these cases.
Zell says that they are a ‘platform’, like Meta and X, and because of this they’re not responsible for the loss of money.

BEST MOMENTS

“Zelle is: You get someone’s email and then you can send them money from your bank, but here’s why this is a problem: Hackers can break in to people’s emails and they can take that money.”
“The difference between Zell and credit cards is that credit cards have protections because if work done by the Consumer Protection Bureau called the Fair Credit Billing Act so people can get money back if something’s taken from a creditor debit card, on Zelle you don’ have any recourse at all.”
“If someone’s asking you to send money to an email address that is somebody’s personal name you really should think about this, it’s one thing to send it to your uncle, but it’s a different thing if you’re sending it to a company.”
“Unless you have millions of dollars stolen, it’s essentially like living in a lawless world.”

The Power of Consent

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how vital the power of consent is to protect you legally, emotionally, and physically.

Offenses involving forced sex accounted for 60.4% of the total violent crime analyzed between 2019 and 2021, according to DegreeChoice’s findings. Xavier University, University of Michigan, Drexel University in Philadelphia, Ohio State University and Harvard University ranked as the top five schools with the highest rates of reported rape making up the campus’ violent crime. Instances of rape qualified for at least 89.5% of the violent crimes committed at the aforementioned schools, with Xavier University reporting 98.8% of all violent crime was reported cases of rape.

According to The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), one of the largest nonprofit anti-sexual assault nonprofits in the U.S., only 20% of female students aged 18-24 reported sexual assault to law enforcement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you’re on Facebook and you see those questions like “What type of cat/mermaid/whatever are you?” or you buy a supposedly free app that takes your information and sells it to a third-party provider, you are the product. You’re giving anyone who’s collecting that information about you for them to sell to someone else or use it to market and advertise to you.
If you’re dating and a man expects you to pay attention to him just because he’s talking to you, or to make him happy by catering to his ego, or expects you to send compromising photos of yourself just because he sent you unsolicited D-pics and acts all hurt and upset because you say no, these situations are all areas where you can use the power of consent.
We give consent when we sign implied contracts authorising the use of our images just by uploading them on social media, or when we go in for a medical appointment and we expect our provider to keep our information confidential and safe. We also give consent when we sign permission slips for our kids to go on school field-trips, but one of the things that’s not always obvious and is in the fine print is that we’re also absolving those schools of any leal of medical responsibility if something should happen to our children, that’s why it’s sometimes a good idea to get an additional insurance policy that covers situations like that.
Most of us are way too permissive with our emotional boundaries. We’ll give in to someone, we’ll let them pressure us to do something that we shouldn’t be doing or isn’t quite right just to make them happy. We’re also way too permissive with our bodies and our boundaries and our legal information.

BEST MOMENTS
“Too often I see people, especially women, giving away access to our legal rights, our money, our emotion real estate, and our bodies, often to be nice, make peace, or people-please. DON’T!”
“Consent is key.”
“Don’t put something up on social media that you intend to sell, like a photograph because there’s an implication that you are giving them rights to your images and they could contest that if you were to sell them elsewhere.”
“Read the terms and conditions (Ts&Cs), they crop up everywhere – especially gym contracts, you wouldn’t believe what you’re signing up for.”

The Power of Digital Marketing With Darren Jamieson

Sat, 09 Sep 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Darren Jamieson to talk about the power of digital marketing, he has lots of great information, ideas and tools that may surprise you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Digital marketing is the essence of getting leads and sales into your business via the internet. It’s selling to people, or gaining trust with people that you haven’t necessarily met yet they still trust you and want to buy from you because they’ve seen you on the internet somewhere and thought you’re good, you can do what I need, I want to get in touch with you.
With the advent of AI and the dreaded ChatGTP you’re going to get a lot of soulless crap out there using all the buzzwords, hooks and structures that you get for content on LinkedIn. Things like: “I’ve been thinking lately…” then something outlandish, or “something you don’t know about me…” It’s all structured, it’s all templated. The way to do it properly is to get yourself out there, your own personality and character, AI cannot imitate people even though it tries, it cannot be you.
It’s about attracting your band, your batch, your people, your clan. The sort of people that are going to be with you, the best people to work with , the people you’re going to love working with and are going to love working with you. Don’t try to appeal to everybody because it’s not going to work, you’re just going to end up with people that, quite frankly, are idiots that you’re not going to want to deal with and are going to be more hassle than it’s worth. So, put your own personality and opinions no matter how objectionable and ridiculous they may be to some, to others they’re going to hit the nail right on the head and they’re the people you’re going to want to work with anyway.
If your business is B2B LinkedIn is your best starting point and you should be using it not as an online CV, which most people use it for, they see it as an online recruitment platform. Don’t list all the jobs you’ve done and the education you’ve had because, while that’s important, it’s not what’s going to set you aside from your competitors in the business world. Use it to talk about the wins and successes you’ve had, the skills you’ve got, what you’ve done in business, and always focus on your client – talk about who you’ve helped and how, don’t talk about yourself. If you’re B2C a Googe profile is the quickest, easiest and fastest thing to do, and I’m stunned at the number of businesses that don’t have one or have one unclaimed or poorly put together.

BEST MOMENTS
“Some people say you shouldn’t have too much personality in your [LinkedIn] posts because “it’s not Facebook” and that it should be all business and corporate-y, but they can quite frankly do one. If people don’t like you on LinkedIn that’s cool, that just means you’ve pre-qualified them as not your ideal client.”
“If you’re not annoying people you’re not doing enough.”
“Twitter or X recently updated the app so that when you log in you no longer see people you follow but people that will be most interesting to you, and they deliberately put in people you disagree with.”
“Nobody wins with happiness on social media, it’s all about the angst and the disagreement. It does make it a bit of a cess pool, it’s not good for your mental health to be on Twitter.”

Lorraine Gill and the Power of Metal

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Lorraine Gill, a reiki master, massage therapist and queen of metal who has some fascinating stories to share.

Taist of Iron performed at the Keep It True Festival, headed by Oliver Weinzheimer in Lauda-Königshofen.

https://en.concerts-metal.com/concert_-_Keep_It_True_Festival_2018-41232.html

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We live in a culture that doesn’t allow us to wail, essentially, and I tend to be a stoic person to begin with. Heavy metal is a way for me to get out there and yell and scream, I can use my vocal chords in that way and it’s a cathartic release. I love the feeling of the pounding in my chest at a loud heavy metal concert, it’s got its own vibration.
I’m fairly resistant, but if I’m willing to walk forward I can usually make just about anything happen. But I’m always resistant first, saying: “No, I can’t do that!” After some years off I said I’d never be able to sing metal again, but after a lot of building my vocal chords back up it turns out that I can, even doing some Ronnie James Dio songs.
At a festival in Germany I was giving myself negative self-talk thinking people wouldn’t want to watch us, but there were thousands of people there. I looked down at the front row and saw a woman singing my words back to me. At the signing party later she handed me a copy her own album where she’d covered one of my songs and it’s a really fantastic version.
Non-metal listeners thing of it as just noise, but it expresses so much. It pounds against me in a way that I really love, and when I’m in a group of people watching a metal show there’s an energy exchange between the musicians and the audience that is so powerful. It’s a very powerful form of music if you love it and there’s a lot of camaraderie in the metal world, especially in Europe – not so much here in the states – where they travel around Europe to festivals, it’s their life.

BEST MOMENTS

“Metal is really theatrical. The first concert I played they lowered my from the ceiling in a coffin.”
“Metal requires a lot of effort and it take a lot of energy, it’s kind of like giving birth.”
“I’m one of the mothers of obscure metal… or the grandma!”
“There’s a bit of misogyny in heavy metal, to be sure, but there are so many women singing metal.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

The Power of Hot Springs

Sat, 26 Aug 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the amazing healing power of hot springs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are natural hot springs and there are hot springs that are in a resort, I’m going to recommend both because the minerals in the water are truly transformational and healing and address a lot of different health issues.
There are different types of hot springs with different types of mineral concentrations, but most of us – and I hate to say it – are mineral deficient because the top soil that our food grows in has been depleted of minerals. Most of us don’t take mineral supplements, they take vitamins, but that’s not minerals. Sometimes we need to sit in water that has minerals in it.
It’s really important to have the experience of soaking in hot springs. Not only can it help you relax, but it can also help address different health issues like insomnia, headaches, arthritis, back pain, heart health issues, diabetes issues, and it can also sometimes help people with MS.

BEST MOMENTS

“I took a friend to a springs and she had neck pain when she showed up and she didn’t have neck pain when she left.”
“There are books and websites out there that will give you guides to go to find natural hot springs.”
“The oldest hotel in the world is in Japan and they pipe mineral hot spring water into their hotel.”

The Power of Exercise

Sun, 20 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how exercise can help with mental, emotional, and physical issues as well as improve our mood

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever felt down, out of sorts, or in a negative space? Do you have a love partner with erectile dysfunction? Are your kids driving you crazy? Are you having trouble sorting out your thoughts or creating something? Do you experience depression or anxiety? All of these issues can be addressed with one simple activity: Regular exercise.
You’re not a larger person because there’s something wrong with you or you have character defects, that’s a stereotype. A lot of people don’t necessarily want to do exercise because they want to relax after a tiring day at work, they might be busy, it’s hard to fit exercise into your life, but exercise can make a difference in your life though not always to make you look better. I find that people who do exercise do look better, but they aren’t necessarily thinner; they have a glow about them, they’ve got more self-confidence, their posture is better. And there are so many health benefits that I can’t even name all of them.
I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking meds to lose weight if that’s going to work for you to get the weight off so you can do more with your life. For some people who want to make changes in their lives, they look at weight loss as one of those solutions. Some people feel overwhelmed by weight loss (dieting, exercise, everything). For some people, when they take the med, they start a cycle: After losing the initial weight it becomes easier for them to move and exercise more frequently to lose more weight. A lot of times you have to take it ongoing for the rest of your life though, especially if you’re dealing with diabetes, in which case that’s fine.
The current CDC guidelines recommend that each week adults in America need 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity and two days of muscle strengthening activity. Most of us, if we get three workout sessions in a week, would consider ourselves lucky, I’d say. Moderate intensity depends on you. For some people, walking s moderate intensity, for others it’s hiking, for others it could even be running. If you’re going to set yourself exercising goals, start with “do what you can do”.

BEST MOMENTS

“The most available, cheapest, and easiest method to begin to address depression or negativity was something that people use the least: Exercise. You can shift your biochemistry by exercising.”
“If you’re doing exercise just to look good – which a lot of people do – and not for how it makes you feel, you’re missing out.”
“When you see anything about weight loss on social media, those people are always trying to sell you a program or a supplement.”
“4,000 steps a day is actually enough, someone made up that 10,000 steps a day number.”

The Power of Purchase: Car Edition

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about how women can be more empowered when they’re buying a car including tips on how to decide what features you might need, how to make a fully informed decision as well as how to get the best price.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Before you buy a car you’re going to want to figure out what you want to buy that car for: Some people need to transport children, family members, pets, groceries or equipment, some may want to buy a car as an investment – if it’s a restored car, some may need it for commuting. Then you want to look at which kinds of cars will meet those needs.
Talk to your friends, look online and do review research and see what people say about those particular cars. Your goal is to narrow it down to 3 different cars – they don’t all have to be the same brand – that you’re thinking about leasing or buying. They you get your budget set up for how much money you can put down as a downpayment as well as how much money you can afford to pay per month. It’s good to have a range here because when you get into the dealership they’re going to try to negotiate with you.
Consider bringing someone to the dealership with you. It might be helpful to bring a man with you (if you have a man in your life) regardless of whether they’re your father/brother/relationship/friend. Sadly, sexism is still rampant in a lot of dealerships and a lot of times the dealer will speak to and negotiate with the man there with you rather than the woman, and you can use this to your advantage. You can do good cop bad cop scenario where you’re the good cop and your companion can be the bad cop, pointing out the negative points of the sale. If you have experience buying cars and you don’t feel you need someone else there that’s fine too, but you do need to have good boundaries.
If you don’t have a good credit score you’re going to want to bring that up before you buy a car because they’re going to charge you interest rates based on your car FICO score, which is not the same thing as your regular FICO score.

BEST MOMENTS

“Research online before you go into a dealership because their goal is to sell you that day regardless of whether you tell them you’re just looking, they don’t care.”
“Cars depreciate the moment you drive off the lot.”
“Don’t come into car buying with emotions high, car buying is a business decision.”
“If you just want to test drive cars, you’re going to need to make sure they know that’s what you’re there for. They’re still going to try to get you to buy.”

Mena Canonico And The Power of The Root

Sat, 05 Aug 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Mena Canonico who helps people get to the root of their issues in a very unique way and she has an amazing story.
Mena trained with the Coaches Leadership Program
A great question from her Coaches Leadership Program: "What were you born at this time in history to do?"
Another great program: "What is the treasure in the trauma?"

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The root of where I am today started when my family moved to Liberty Street on a 10-acre farm when I was 6 years old and our neighbours had horses. I immediately fell in love and I pestered my parents until they brought a horse for me, called Lady. Everything was lovely until one day when I was riding her near the road and a tractor trailer came by, spooked her, she reared up, I came off, she ran and hit a fence with barbed wire attached. In that moment I felt completely powerless, abandoned, helpless, at a loss. I don’t think I truly realised how traumatic it was for me, but I made the decision never to ride horses again. Not long after that my parents split up, sold the farm and I was away from horses for 24 years.
I worked in corporate for 16 years and I realised that this was not what I wanted to be doing. So, I started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started asking questions and reading books, finally I discovered life coaching and went to an information session and immediately knew this was it. From there I was put forward for the leadership training program, which is $10,000 in 2005. I didn’t see myself as a leader at all, but I took the program after being packaged out of the job I was at, which afforded me the $10k. That was the catalyst for me to take a leap of faith and leave corporate almost 17 years ago now.
I started going into schools talking to youths about being real and authentic. As I was doing that, people asked if there was anything I could do just for the girls. Through that I got connected to a 15 year old girl in Florida in 2009 who said she wanted to interview me but she was really there to open my eyes to the fact that horses have these incredible gifts. Horses saved her life, they help you get grounded and help you get grounded, get focussed, you become a better leader, a better partner, and at 15 she was doing clinics for kids who had ADHD and autism.
I made it my mission to overcome my fear and incorporate horses into my business and my life’s work, to help remind women of how incredibly powerful we are. Also that every single traumatic experience we’ve ever had, we can look at it differently and we can look for the treasure in that trauma.

BEST MOMENTS
“For my whole life I believed that I was not good enough because I was a girl, which I think many of us buy into that… until we don’t.”
“I was born at this time in history to show people how to take off their masks and be real.”
“My destiny was formed the moment I fell off my horse, Lady.”
“None of us are immune from imposter syndrome, you might as well let go of that idea, the more work you can do on yourself the more people you’re going to be able to become empowered.”

The Power of Meditation With Kristen Fewel

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by reiki master, yoga and meditation teacher, Kristen Fewel, to talk about the power of meditation, some different aspects of meditation and where to get started.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I came to meditation out of necessity. I was in a really hard place for a really long time. I started with yoga classes and energy work. The best advice I ever got at that time was: “Kristen, you’re going to need to learn yoga, learn how to manage your energy and not give it away all the time to anyone, and you’re going to need to learn and practice reiki. If you can make those things a part of your life you’re going to be OK, you’re going to make it, you’re going to be better than OK.”
It’s about reflecting on what thoughts are coming in, or just accepting that you had a thought and then being willing to let it go and see what arises, feel it coming into your field of awareness and then letting that go. With practice it becomes more reflective so that you recognise your habits and patterns, what is your mind doing while you’re sitting, lying, walking, doing a thing. Are you able to do the thing that you set out to do? Which for me was just sitting, it’s the most complicated part of meditation – sitting still – rather than focussing on doing an activity. You have to establish your sitting posture so you’re comfortable in your body while you’re sitting. That’s where yoga comes in.
We’ve discovered in our group that we have shared meditation experiences. We do dialogue a little bit after our session to find out if anything interesting comes up, and sometimes images or spiritual guidance will come into the room and are shared by 1, 2, or 3 people. It’s really remarkable and powerful.
I find that private lessons with an experienced teacher is the best way of getting on the right track with meditation rather than having to come in contact with all of the many obstacles which will come up, and there are many. You can get past those hurdles fairly quickly and have successful meditation if you have an experienced teacher. A group class isn’t as fine tuned to the individual, but it will still give you something.

BEST MOMENTS
“Meditation doesn’t happen the first time you sit down and do it. It doesn’t even happen the tenth or the fiftieth time, but if you stay with it you feel your feelings, you get through the hardest part, and then it opens up to you.”
“We’re working on attracting more people who want to try to extend their sitting time to 45-60 minutes because that’s when really profound things and major shifts start to occur.”
“I’m a participant just like everybody else, I’m working through my stuff just like everybody else, I do the practice.”
“If you’re not ready for meditation, perhaps you’d like to explore aspects of mindfulness, which are different. Mindfulness is noticing what’s going on in the moment but not necessarily with reflection on it.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
Kristen Fewel is a seasoned teacher with more than two decades of yoga practice and study. She uses an adaptable breath-centred approach inspired by the teachings of TKV Desikachar and Krishnamacharya to guide students toward breathing and being with depth and ease. Kristen's teaching points to the importance of mindfulness and meditation as a way to enjoy life more, and as a path to discover your true potential. Kristen spends most of her time with individuals doing yoga therapy or reiki energy work at Full Circle. She received her certifications from Dianne Harman of the Yoga Experience, Ariel Hubbard of Hubbard Education Group, and Dr. Amy Wheeler of The Optimal State of Living. A perpetual student, she continues her studies in yoga, qigoing, tai chi, and energy work.

The Power of Giving Feedback

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about the value of providing feedback and some tips on how to do that.

Tips for Sharing Feedback:
Trust your intuition
If you get an intuitive insight to share feedback with someone, make sure you take the time to do this. It sends a message to your subconscious that your feelings and insights are valid, and that you have enough confidence, and care for yourself enough to share your feelings and insights with others. It builds a positive relationship with yourself.
Get permission first
Getting permission is key, so that people are receptive, and don't feel like their boundaries are being violated. If you launch into giving feedback without getting permission first, you look like a rude, bossy, controlling person, and a natural reaction of someone would be to be defensive or ignore you. When you don't get permission first, you often trigger peoples' parent/child archetypes, where you show up as a parent and they are a child. Naturally, people feel uncomfortable in this situation.
Bring compassion to your feedback
Before you speak, connect with your Heart Chakra in the centre of your chest. Imagine a pink light there that emanates from there through your entire body. Imagine you are connecting with a deep Source of loving compassion. And from this place of compassion, what would you say to this person? It probably would not be anything like, "You have too much stuff," or "I hated your class," or any kind of shaming or patronising comment. It would be something that would let them know your experience of what they are doing without being negative, but instead, indicating how they could grow.
Express gratitude when a person listens
It is so important to give thanks, in some way, that a person spent their valuable time listening to you. It reinforces to your subconscious that people do listen (which is an important lesson for all of us to learn and hear, and often different than what we were taught in childhood), WHILE sending the powerful and positive energy of gratitude to that person, which triggers a positive endorphin release. Generating a positive energy flow also encourages people to listen more to feedback in the future, and it also creates a positive bonding experience with that person.
Avoid having expectations of that person "doing" anything with your feedback
Let yourself have the satisfaction that you did share your feelings and insights and feel good about that. Let go of your egoic desire to have the person "get it" or take a specific action based on your feedback. We are all sentient beings making our own choices, and the other person may choose to ignore your feedback. Just let sharing it and having it be heard be enough. Then you don't cloud the positive energy exchange with your expectations and desires and that frees up a lot of energy to feel happy and free!

BEST MOMENTS
“Even though we live in an economy that’s based on feedback, when it comes to interpersonal interactions, many people are afraid to do this, especially people from younger generations.”
“Have you ever considered that sharing your insights could provide invaluable information for someone to learn, improve, heal or grow?”
“When people are receptive to feedback they don’t feel like their boundaries are being violated and that makes it more likely that information is going in and that they’re going to receive it.”
“There are times I’ve taken risks where I wanted to give feedback to someone because I thought it would affect their career. I was nervous about it but, I trusted my intuition that I needed to talk about it, I asked for permission, I spoke with compassion, and I thanked them for their time and it was life-changing for them because the compassion I used to give them the information translated into me giving them feedback that completely changed the way they did things which opened up a whole other realm for them in their career.”

Connected Communication With Christine Mullaney

Sat, 08 Jul 2023 23:00:00 -0000

This episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast is a crossover show with Connected Communication. Ariel is joined by guest host Christine Mullaney to discuss what great communication is and what it isn’t.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

My first big communication was with my spirit guides. I had abilities which I was aware of at about 3, but I didn’t know that other people didn’t have them until about 6. I realised that I couldn’t work with human beings in the way other people did. I was seeing auras and energy around people, I was seeing spirits from the other side and nature intelligences.
I had a narcissist as a mother and I recognised there were mental health issues from an early age, I could sense that I wasn’t safe on a bunch of different levels, including talking about these things. So, I started talking to my spirit guides to work out what was real and what wasn’t, and they gave me meditation practices to combat my anxiety. I wouldn’t wish my childhood on anyone, and communicating with them kept me sane, balanced and getting through that into something more positive in my life.
When we’re communicating with people, we need to tune into how what they’re saying makes us feel. I was on LinkedIn last night and I got a cold pitch, which I’m not a fan of, it was very cold, frosty, clinical and technically accurate. I gave the guy feedback that LinkedIn is not what this is for, it’s about developing relationships. He said “I’ve been using AI and I’m not sure it’s working”. That explained why it was so cold , frosty, distant and technically accurate: It was a computer!
Trust your inner feelings and intuition. Your body and your auric fields can read the intention of the person you’re communicating with, what’s coming off of that person’s chakras, what’s in that person’s energy field. If you feel openness, freedom, calm, peaceful, tranquil feelings or states, if you perceive that you feel relaxed, that’s a response to a positive energy from that person. If you feel stressed, angry, resentful your beingness/body/energy field can read when someone’s crossing a line.

BEST MOMENTS
“Spirit guides are beings whose goal is to help us develop spiritually.”
“In my family, I’m the only person who doesn’t have some kind of issue mentally where I don’t need medication.”
“We relate to the divine in a way that we can based on our consciousness as a filter. The more open your brain is, the more expanded your awareness of what Source energy is.”
“We’re going to have to get really smart in detecting AI, because it’s learning how to use human-esque voices in the written word.”

The Power of Beating Hackers

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of beating hackers and she gives you some examples of what to do if your information has been stolen online or if your profile has been taken on Facebook.

Dating Protection: Woman Power Zone episodes 71, 72, 73.

Money and Credit: Woman Power Zone episodes 16 and 17.

The MOVEit incident is the result of a major cyber event involving federal agencies and corporations around the world. The threat actor behind this incident has threatened to publish sensitive information acquired through the vulnerability. Please consider taking the following actions recommended by the Social Security Administration and credit bureaus.

Closely monitor credit reports.
Obtain a free copy of your credit report, which you’re entitled to once every 12 months, from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
Place a fraud alert on your accounts by contacting one of the credit reporting agencies; a fraud alert at one of the agencies will automatically notify the other two. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or before making changes to existing accounts.
Freeze your credit at each of the three major credit reporting agencies. Agencies will require personal authorization before approving any credit application.
If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission via identitytheft.gov
Request to block electronic access to Social Security, which you can learn more about via https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10220.pdf

www.intellius.com is a site where you can find out criminal records, addresses, family members, liens and more information about people.

Report, block and delete are the steps for comments from scammers!

Notify, report fake profiles and tell friends are steps for fake profiles!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In hacks some or all of your information can be stolen: you name, your social security number, maybe the names of your relatives, where you live. This stuff can be taken and sold on the Dark Web where people can take your identity and open up credit cards in your name and all kinds of shenanigans. People could try to get access to the titles of properties that you own, shut off your utilities or open their own all in your name. The prospects are frightening.
Sometimes people will have part of your information that they’ve bought off the dark web and then they’re going to ‘data mine’ you for the rest of it. They could ‘encounter’ you on a dating website and ask for the names of your relatives or pets for passwords. You need to be aware that these things (data mining on dating sites and identity theft in other areas) are connected, these things are often done by the same people or sold between each other on the Dark Web.
If you think you’ve been a victim of identity theft, you should immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission. You can also request to block electronic access to social security.
One of the benefits of social media is staying connected with people, which is great for networking, business, maintaining emotional connections, or finding people you knew back in high school and learning. But, the downside is if something goes wrong all those people that you’re friends with could be affected too. A hacker could get into your account and send friend requests to all of your friends, these people could accidentally give access to that hacker who could then take their information of try to con them. You don’t want to be the gateway. So, change your password straight away and post that you’ve been hacked (make sure to click on the 3 dots and make sure it’s set to friends only to see this post. If it’s set to public scamming bots contact you with links to tell your how to fix it but actually lead you to sites that can mine your data.

BEST MOMENTS

“Monitor your credit reports with credit agencies and dispute any mistakes you come across.”
“Putting a fraud alert on your account with one agency will automatically alert the others. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or making changes to existing accounts.”
“Have you ever looked at how much you can find out about somebody online? It’s terrifying.”
“Report, block, then delete hacker comments on Facebook.”

The Power of Self Discovery With Christine Mullaney

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by Christine Mullaney about courage, opening up, changing, trusting, and self discovery.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

My journey with courage started when I was very young, but it became a key theme in my life at 17 when I had my first shamanic experience to cure a recurring problem with my throat. I met my first spirit guide, a wolf, who came to me for courage. But I’d say I’ve had to be courageous for much of my life, I’ve had a variety of experiences some of which have tried to knock me down or back.
My TEDx talk came 6 months after leaving a narcissistically abusive relationship I’d been in for around 6 years. I in no way put all of what happened on him, he had his own life experience and was who he was because of his life experiences and I certainly didn’t behave in ways that necessarily helped it. That’s been my most recent healing journey. Part of coming back was the recognition that I had been a very strong, very confident, very open woman before that relationship and she wasn’t gone, she’d just gone a different route before meandering back to the road that she wanted to be on.
It’s a spiral: We experience these things in life and we move through the spiral and each time we come out at a higher level of frequency. Maybe we need to repeat things again, each of my last three relationships had similar patterns – different kinds of addictive substances, abuse in some sort of form, but all centring back into the lived experience I had as a child. But, each time I came out of these relationships at a higher level of frequency, until l got to the point where I realised I could leave that spiral.
I wanted to pitch the ripple effect of vulnerability to everybody through my TEDx talk because when we share our stories we create a ripple effect that helps other people have the courage to share theirs.

BEST MOMENTS
“I can choose to let life knock me down, and knock me back, and keep me where I am, or I can say ‘I’m going to face this, step forwards and through it, and come out the other side however I come out’.”
“It’s important to share your story, to be able to stand in your own power with respect to those around you and share from your truth.”
“People talk about ‘the comfort zone’, for me it’s not really a comfort zone, it’s a place where we’re used to things happening and that’s our normality.”
“The meaning of courage is ‘heart’, that’s the etymology of it.”

The Power of Naturopathy With Dr Erica Wood

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by Dr Erica Wood about what naturopathy actually is and all the ways it can help you.
Always ask your doctor before taking anyone's advice.
A Naturopathic Doctor has graduated from a naturopathic medical school and often a multi-year residency, as compared to a Naturopath, who does an online, much shorter course of study.
Dr Erica's Tips:

Fresh air and morning sunlight to set sleep/wake cycle
Fresh water: 10 oz. of water before you walk out the door, and half your body weight in ounces a day
Protein: 5 servings of palm-size a day. The "high five." 3 meals and 2 snacks.
Movement and breathing. Taking 4 deep breaths in, exhale for 6 counts.
Sleep: the best thing you can do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Naturopathy basically uses nature as medicine to try to find the root cause of what’s going on. There are 7 principles of naturopathic medicine: The V (the healing power of nature), identify and treat the cause, doctor as teacher, treating the whole person, prevention, the power of medical literature, the power of research and how it can help our profession.
I see patients from 3 days old up to 100 and we treat everything from gut dysbiosis to mood to PMS to perimenopause to ADHD, it all blends together, you don’t treat one disease you treat the whole person.
In Covid a lot of people got really focussed on their health because they were locked inside and what else was there to do but focus on your health? People were afraid of getting Covid so they realised the power of prevention and things they could do to lower their co-morbidities (other diseases that could lower our chances of worst-case-scenarios).
If you have heartburn I don’t prescribe you medicine, I take a look at how your gut is, how your flora is (the good-for-you bacteria in your gut), maybe take a look at your stress levels, or even look at food sensitivities to see if something is really aggravating you. Perimenopause is one of my favourite times to work with a woman. The medical field doesn’t really recognise the perimenopause. We take a look at a lot of different things like sometimes its stress and our adrenal response which is causing hot flushes and weight gain because the adrenals were never happy to begin with, so by treating them the transition can be easier.

BEST MOMENTS
“We understand that the natural world is assisting the healing process and we use what we can in nature to help that along.”
“Telehealth has made it possible where I can treat anyone in Washington State.”
“A good primary care provider knows what’s in their realm and what’s not in their realm.”
“I always recommend patients to get up, go outside in the morning – regardless of how cold it is – take 5 deep breaths of fresh air and have morning sunlight.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
Dr Erica Wood is a Naturopathic Doctor who specialises in primary care. Her focus is on pediatrics and women’s health. She sees patients of all ages, genders and stages of their lives. She uses integrative care to approach everyone’s health needs as individuals, not their symptoms and works to find root causes of concerns.
Dr Wood works at the Naturopathic Clinic of Issaquah

The Power of Podcasting with Kane Baron

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode, Ariel is joined by Kane Baron, one of Ariel’s podcasting mentors, who teaches us about the many ways you can use podcasting to connect with people and grow your business. It’s also a great tool for learning how to express yourself and just reaching the world with your own amazing message.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This wasn’t the plan, from a kid I planned to go into law, I did all my exams and got a law degree. But, during university I was always trying to find ways of making more money and I got into marketing for shops and cafes on social media to try and get them more business. I was an avid podcast listener though because they helped my revise. I worked in a coffee shop for the years I was at uni and every morning a guy called Rob Moore would come in, he had a range of nice cars, so I started giving him extra customer service and asked him about his businesses and his creative outlets like his podcast interviewing well known people. By the end of my second year I decided law wasn’t for me. I DM’d Rob on Instagram to ask how we could work together and he took me up on it.
We’re not focussed on FTSE500 companies, a lot of other podcast agencies are very specific about the content and the people they work with and it’s almost impossible to get picked up by these agencies – mostly, it’s gatekept for celebrities. Our agency is for independent creators. The more niche and weird and wonderful your content is the more we want to work with you.
There are millions and millions of people creating content every day across social media, it’s very saturated and is very hard to stand out. The last few years the length of content has got shorter and shorter and is more about how it’s edited and what tags and captions are used to hook you in for those few seconds, they’re less bothered about giving value. That’s great if all you care about is views, that’s just vanity. If you care about impacting people, having important discussions, getting more business/leads for your company then you content marketing needs to focus on providing way more value for people.
If you’ve got 100 people listening to you speak for 60 minutes every single week for a year, most people don’t talk to their friends and family as much as they’ve listened to you over that year. If I’ve got a product that’s worth a few grand or you’re in a lucrative niche you don’t need a million listeners, 100 is more than enough.

BEST MOMENTS

“Shoot your shot. If you don’t ask you don’t get.”
“It makes our days more interesting to work with a breadth of people, not people who have already got millions of followers or a PR company funding their campaign.”
“A lot of the time, independent creators have got much better stories or more experience and that’s much more valuable.”
“It’s our job to get you out there so people know who you are so that they’ll care about your message.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Kane Baron received a law degree but then pivoted to become the lead trainer at the UK's largest Podcast training company as well as head of growth at Progressive media, a podcast agency specializing in helping independent creators monetize their message.

Vipoola Devani: The Power of Self-Awareness

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by transformation coach Vipoola Devani to talk about her story and the power of self-awareness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I had lived my life to a certain point dictated by societal norms, family expectations, cultural norms. By lineage I’m Indian, so I had a lot of traditional cultural upbringing and I followed the path because that was what was expected of me and I didn’t know any better. I thought that was normal, I got married, I did what was expected of me as a daughter-in-law, a wife, a daughter but something never felt right, I never fitted in, I felt there was something more than this.
After about 25 years of marriage, I started getting that pull even stronger and I started searching and stumbled upon various spiritual modalities and business ventures. Finally, I went to an event that was the ‘A-he moment’ for me. It boiled down to the fact that I was responsible for my life, I had created it, and that everything outside that I was experiencing was a result of my own internal mindset and my own environment that I had created. It was a tough reckoning because it’s easier to blame everything else than blame yourself.
Self-awareness is: What is it that I want, or what is it that would make my relationships better outside, but once I’m happier within myself, once I have the joy within myself, and a purpose within myself, it starts translating in my environment around me and my connections with everything else.
The greatest shifts I’ve seen from my clients is the awareness of something bigger than themselves, the experience of being part of something that is more than just “me”, as a human, and that everything around me is here to give me another experience. Not all experiences are pleasant or something we’d naturally want or gravitate towards, some experiences are horrendous. But it is an experience, and you regard it as such so you can leave it behind and move on to the next one. We are blessed to be humans and the gift of life is not to be shunned.

BEST MOMENTS
“I value honesty and integrity highly, not just from work and career, it also translates into personal life.”
“It fundamentally started with getting to know yourself and then deciding what works for you. The resolution I chose is not the answer for everybody.”
“The client has to put the work in. I’m facilitating their development, I’m not doing it for them, I’m just showing the way.”
“Being accountable to yourself is also part of loving yourself and your commitment to yourself.”

Vipoola Devani is a Conscious Relationship Coach and Spiritual Practitioner. She assists individuals to discover their authentic self and lead a more fulfilled life with a deeper connection with themselves, and achieving better relationships.

The Power of Generational Wealth

Sat, 20 May 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about generational wealth, what it is and how you can create it.

The Power of Eclipses

Sun, 14 May 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about the energy of eclipses and the cycle that we are in now. Need an energy report? Stay tuned!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In the past few weeks we’ve had a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse on 20th April and 5th May respectively. The lunar eclipse was also conjunct Uranus, which is the planet of surprise, shock and breakthroughs or changes. The energy both of these eclipses will carry forward for anything from a month to six months, depending on the astrologer.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in an area of your life but are unwilling or unable to do anything about it, eclipses can move mountains to end that toxic relationship, get that paperwork approved, or get that situation resolved. Are you in a career that’s not working for you and you’ve done nothing about it and suddenly that job opportunity ends? That’s eclipse energy. It may seem bad at the time, but these experiences can often lead to breakthrough, so keep that in mind.
The energy of eclipses will also affect whatever is going on in your current chart. They’ll bring things out that were secret, hidden or you were unaware of. The energy of eclipses can show up one month before the eclipse for about 10% of people, at the time of the eclipse, or up to six months after the eclipse. If you have gaps in your education, fill them. If you have a weakness in your character, it could be exposed. If you need to grow, you will be given opportunities to grow and they may not always be pleasant.
We need the push forward that eclipses give us to address karma and that energy gives us opportunities to clear it. Be kind and compassionate toward others, because they’re going through the same things you are, be grateful for the reveal and make positive changes.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The nature of eclipses is to keep you on your toes and show you how important it is to accept truth when it is presented to you.’
‘Eclipses are on a mission to produce results and move you forward. The entire universe always moves towards strength.’
‘If you have an eclipse in a particular sign it’s going to intensify whatever that sign is.’
‘Revealing what is hidden gives you, what I call, spiritual mileage.’

The Power of Knowledge - Junk Fee Edition

Sun, 07 May 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about Junk Fees, which are ways that companies take money right out of your pocket – and at a time of high inflation, you definitely need to know this information.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Companies are charging lots of extra fees because they’re trying to milk you for money. A lot is going on politically with this and actions have been taken by the Biden/Harris Administration as part of the Fourth Meeting of the President’s Competition Council which announced two different actions they would take: working with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to slash excessive credit card late fees from $30 to $8, saving consumers as much as $9 billion, which is crazy. Then, the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration is releasing a report assessing areas of competition in mobile app stores because they have extra fees hidden in them.
The Junk Fee Prevention Act is out there to provide consumers with the transparency that they deserve before making a purchase. It hasn’t passed in Congress, but the fact that they’re talking about this is huge.
Before you purchase concert tickets, for example, make sure that the concert ticket provider is not a third-party provider. A lot of times it’s really hard to tell. Their administration fees are often a lot of money. You have a choice: You don’t have to buy those tickets if you don’t want to, or you could buy them through a different service.
If you are buying real estate and you see terms like ‘regulatory compliance cost’, ‘transaction fee’, ‘broker fee’, or ‘technology fee’ you need to know about them. Real estate brokerages usually charge real estate agents a desk fee in order to be able to use their back end, legal support, their office, and bunch of things they use to work out of that office, or they have to give up a certain amount of commission (especially if they’re new to that business). Sometimes the real estate brokerages will add this fee onto a transaction meaning the client pays that instead of the agent.

BEST MOMENTS

‘My own rent has gone up over $600 in two years. A $7,200 increase in two years, that’s unbelievable!’
‘Airline travel, concert going, common purchases, seemingly almost everywhere, consumers are compelled to pay excessive charges.’
‘I don’t know what your grocery bills are doing, but mine went from $600 a month to $1,000 a month in less than two years, and my teenager is only here part of the time.’
‘Real estate junk fees are called a lot of things, but it should really be called a BS fee!’

The Power of Phone Security

Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about protecting an essential asset in your life: Your cell phone. Have you ever lost it? Would you ever want to be locked out of it? This podcast is about how to stay safe.

Cell phone security:

How to protect yourself from iPhone thieves locking you out of your own device. By Samantha Murphy Kelly, CNN Business. https://apple.news/Ayc-c_M-QTbSLhiZrPGY6fw

KEY TAKEAWAYS

For some of us this isn’t a big deal, but for many, many people a cell phone isn’t just a lifeline to get help in emergencies but they also run their banking, business, and lives and social lives from it. Kids even do homework and hand in their school assignments from it, you can apply for jobs, connect to loved ones or look for real estate on your phone.
Did you know your cell phone is dirtier than a toilet seat? A study recently found there’s an average of around 17,000 gene copies on a single phone. Some places of work – like kitchens – have a ban on having cell phones because they’re so contaminated with bacteria, pathogens, and viruses. It’s a health risk.
Think about setting up the face ID setting on your phone rather than a passcode because if you’re in a crowded place somebody could look over your shoulder, see your passcode, later on steal your phone, use your passcode, and then get in there and drain your bank account. If you think someone has seen your passcode you need to change it immediately.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Don’t touch your cell phone with unwashed hands and keep it away from your food.’
‘To get into your phone, you should have a relatively complex passcode.’
‘On iPhones you might want to set up a secondary password to prevent people from changing your apple ID which could change your recovery key.’

Jo Ann Brookes: The Power of Lipstick

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Jo Ann Brookes who transformed from a teacher in school to a woman who helps people transform the way they look wit the power of lipstick.

Mary Kary Charitable Foundation: www.loveisrespect.org

Text to get support if you are experiencing domestic violence and get out of an abusive situation. Mary Kay supports domestic violence shelters all over the U.S and 3,000 DV prevention programs, as well as cancer research--given over $26 million.

You can look up make-up and see how clean it is. “Natural” is not necessarily clean. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I have sensitive skin and discovering the Mary Kay Timewise skin care line that didn’t irritate my skin, makeup that didn’t make me want to cry. I wore makeup as a teacher to look professional, but all the time I wanted to get it off my face and did so as soon as I got home. I was a single mom and not earning a lot of money and I initially signed up for the discount, I wasn’t thinking about selling it.
A simple lipstick can brighten up your face, light up your eyes when you look in the mirror or at other people, it gets those endorphins going when they compliment you. That’s all free and it makes you feel good, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
We’re a relationship business. That means one-on-one across the kitchen table with your customer. We couldn’t do that during Covid. One of the funny things I would do – because people still needed their stuff – was I would meet them at their house in my Volvo Station Wagon, we’d have our masks on and we’d do a deal. I’d also do porch drops where I’d add extra candy and little love notes.
A lot of cosmetics companies have to shut down during Covid because they were considered non-essential. Mary Kay shut dedicated a third of its production plant in Dallas to produce hand sanitiser and anti-bacterial soap that was donated to hospitals and care centres all around the US, so we were allowed to stay open, there was never a time I couldn’t order directly for my customers.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Lipstick is a little thing, but even when times are tight, there are certain products that tend not to go down in sales. People look for ways to make themselves feel better.’
‘I want to help you really like what you see when you look in the mirror.’
‘With Zoom we could get together with people all across the countries and have parties. That tota;;y warmed my heart.’
‘You could be 13 or 130 and you’ll find products that you’ll love.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Jo Ann Brookes was born and raised in Seattle, has been married to her husband Chris for 41 years, and has two beautiful kids in their 20s. Before starting her Mary Kay business she was an elementary school teacher in Seattle and owned her own pottery business. She loves hiking & backpacking, skiing, gardening, and foraging for wild edible stuff, particularly culinary mushrooms! She’s not your stereotypical Mary Kay lady!

The Power of Intuition: Pendulum Edition

Sat, 15 Apr 2023 23:00:00 -0000

In today’s episode Ariel talks about the power of intuition and using pendulums. Have you ever had a question and needed an answer? Today we talk about developing your intuition and getting those burning questions answered, everything from nutrition to yes/no decision making.

Learn more about Tarot in Woman Power Zone episode #33.

So you do need to set some boundaries and clear yourself before working with a pendulum. These affirmations are helpful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you know how to ask simple yes/no questions you clear your energy and you can make a simple pendulum to learn how to do that. A pendulum is an object that hangs on a string or a chain – like an unclasped necklace. You can put your elbow on a table with the pendulum held still between your index finger and thumb. When you ask your question the energy of that question will pull energy from the universe that will flow through you, up through your arm and out through your hand to make the pendulum move. Relax, don’t try too hard and allow the energy to flow through you.
One of the most important things about working with pendulums is you need to ask the right questions: yes/no questions. You’d be surprised how difficult it is to formulate questions in this format, you have to really think about it. A yes for me is when the pendulum swings in a circle, a no is when it travels back and forth in a straight line, if it travels diagonally it means you haven’t asked the right question.
Before you write this off as hogs wash or woo woo silliness, know that when a person’s energy is centred, grounded and clear, the pendulum’s energetically energetically cleared ahead of time, and the person asks specific yes/no questions without being attached to the outcome, you can access a tremendous amount of information.
You need to set boundaries and clear yourself before working with a pendulum. Use affirmations like “I choose to receive information only from beings who are in alignment to source energy and provide it for the highest good” or “I choose to receive only accurate information to achieve the goal of acting in alignment with the highest good for all” to set that intention.

BEST MOMENTS
“If you’re experiencing pain that’s what the nervous system is for; it’s meant to send messages and pain in a manifestation that something isn’t working correctly, something’s structurally off, or something is not right in the body.”
“The more you eat foods that are in alignment with what your body can process at that time, the healthier you’re going to be.”
“You could use the pendulum while you’re online dating, on people’s profiles you could ask a yes/no questions about whether this person is a fit for me at this time. It’s a huge time saver!”
“Trust what you’re receiving, once you get clear yes/no responses then ask yourself how would you apply or integrate that answer into your life.”

The Power of Dating With Intention

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 23:00:00 -0000

This episode is Ariel’s third on empowered dating. Do you need to know what you’re looking for? Do you want to get clarity? Do you want to learn about different dating choices? Have you done monogamy or vanilla relationships and what to try something else? Ariel talks about these things but be warned, some of the content and conversations might be triggering if you’re used to a very conservative dating lifestyle.

Clear negative energy connections you experience while dating with Ariel's Violet Flame Relationship Clearing Practice. Ariel uses this and other energy medicine tools to clear negative cording attachments.

If you share this tool, please acknowledge me as its creator, especially if you do this on social media or in writing.

Violet Flame Relationship Clearing by Ariel F. Hubbard, www.arielhubbard.com

I am, I am, I am a Sovereign Being.

I choose the energies that are in my field.

I choose the energies of Peace, Light, and Unconditional Love, and so it is.

(Say or think the name of the person you are releasing 3 times)

At this time, I choose to release my energy from your field

Bringing it back to me through the Violet Flame

Where it is cleansed, blessed and purified. I reclaim my life force energy and my power. And so it is.

Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually.

(Say or think their name 3 times)

At this time, I choose to release your energy from my field

Sending it back to you through the Violet Flame

Where it is cleansed, blessed and purified.

To do with as you will. I release it to you with love. And so it is.

Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually. After which process did you feel more of a shift? That will indicate where there was a stronger cording attachment. You may need to do this several times if the cording is strong. Some people may seek to re-engage with you once you have released cording—be prepared and stay disengaged. Or re-engage, but in a way that honours your boundaries.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Women are the essence and expression of the divine feminine archetype and there are a lot of expressions of that. And yes, everyone has masculine and feminine energy inside of them, but women are the essence of the feminine. There are different types of archetypes: the maiden, the mother, the crone, the creator, the sex goddess, wise women. You have those qualities within you whether you’re sweet and kind or criticising or manifesting and men, whether they’re aware of it or not, are attracted to your sexual and spiritual energy. When you fate online men are trying to access this energy and they often do it by asking sexual questions.
There are three groups of men: Men who want casual sex, men who want relationships, and guys who don’t know what they want – these aren’t guys you want to waste your time on. Cross those people off your list, your time is precious. The men who want quick access to your sexual energy are taking shortcuts by skipping dating steps. If it makes you feel nervous or afraid that’s because it’s not safe because they haven’t taken the time or effort to build up trust.
Once we’re older and we exit a relationship (long- or short-term), it leaves us wondering what’s important in life. You may have wondered if all the effort you put into your past relationships was worth it, or you might feel that you didn’t get what you were looking for, or you might want something totally different. Give yourself permission to open yourself up to different possibilities. Life now is different to life in your teens and twenties and your desires and needs are different as well.
Most people have grown up experiencing vanilla sex or relationships and they get into a rut where they do the same kinds of behaviours over and over again. They expect their partner to be monogamous and they may rarely or never actually talk about sex or their fantasies. This is one of the many reasons why relationships end. Men and some women do want variety and sometimes they get bored of the same persona and the same actions over and over again, not just sex but relationship actions too.

BEST MOMENTS

“Men have the spiritual energy of being a director or a builder, women are creators and gestators of ideas and men take and direct the energy that the feminine gives them and make it come into physical existence.”
“If you’re looking for casual sex, you need to be treated with respect with that even.”
“Just because you might have been monogamous for years does not mean you have to have the same kind of sex or relationship life you had before. This is an ideal time to look at and explore other options.”
“Kinks are a way of experiencing sexuality or arousal from something that’s not normally considered sexual or sexy. Tantra is a way of working with sacred sexual energy (with yourself or a partner) to open up kundalini flow and your chakras to expand your spiritual consciousness.”

The Power of Dating Safely

Sat, 01 Apr 2023 23:00:00 -0000

This second episode in a three-episode series on dating is about dating safely. It used to be that our biggest worry around dating was ruining our reputation, these days you can lose your identity, your life savings, your freedom, or your bodily safety by dating.

Ariel's upcoming book is The Empowered Woman's Guide to Online Dating (see pre-order link, below.)

The FTC reported recently that $1.3 billion was stolen from people in the U.S in 2021 via romance scams. This is more than the past 5 years, combined!

Tips:

www.intellius.com Do a reverse phone lookup to find out if the name of the person matches the name given to you by a dating prospect.

You can also screenshot a profile photo and do a reverse image search to see if the image is on other dating sites or other profiles (some scammers use the same photo, especially military photos stolen from actual military personnel, sometimes hundreds of times).

Fact check whether a message sent to you is part of a script.

Copy the message and paste into Google to see if it comes up in a search or go to https://www.scamhatersunited.com/?m=1

If you see it in a search, you know it is a script and that person is a scammer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If someone is intimidating you, manipulating you or pushing you into giving them money or they’re saying “I want to come and see you and I love you but my kid is hurt/my mother needs surgery/I lost my wallet…” you can be sure that is a scam. It usually starts with asking for gift cards and usually starts with first contact.
Don’t use your real name anywhere on a dating site. People can take your first and last name as well as your cell number and do a look up. If you’re dating I recommend using Intellius to verify people’s actual identities. You can find out if they have court cases, bankruptcies, criminal records, you can find out names of their relatives and where they live. If you can look up this information about other people they can look it up about you.
When you give out your phone number you’re going to want to put out a Google Voice number, which is an app you put on your phone, attach this to your cell phone number so when you get messages from a different number they show up on your phone. That way, if people call you they don’t have your real phone number with which to look up information about you. Some people don’t take it well when you reject them and they might show up at your house and try to hurt you or your kids.
To avoid being scammed – especially if you’re over 50 – you need to set boundaries, check for differences in the way a profile is written compared to how they communicate (including spelling/grammar mistakes, non-American slang). If they seem shady, block and report them.

BEST MOMENTS
“More than $1.3 billion was stolen from people through romance scams in the US in 2021, this is more than the past five years combined. Last year 70,000 people reported they were the victim of a romance scam with the average loss at $4,400.”
“One of the ways to identify a scammer is that they’ll ask for your first name right away.”
“Because of data scraping on big companies and government organisations you can pretty much guarantee that your information is out there on the dark web.”
“Requiring people to meet you for a date is going to screen out all kinds of inappropriate people, like married men, scammers, people lying about their age or appearance.”

The Power of Dating Prep

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this first episode about dating, Ariel talks about the world of dating, which is even more different than it was even five years ago and there’s some key information she wants to share to keep people safe, to help you stay prepared and help them do this process intentionally. If you’re single, you’re definitely going to want to listen to these shows because there’s information in them that you may not be aware of and could make a huge difference in your life.

Ariel's upcoming book is The Empowered Woman's Guide to Online Dating (see pre-order link, below.)

"How Low Will Men with High Self-Esteem Go? Self-Esteem as a Moderator of Gender Differences in Minimum Relationship Standards," published in the journal Sex Roles in 2009

Make Me Smart Podcast: 52 percent women single census—Wells Fargo report. In 1900, only 7 percent of women were single. Tracked by the U.S. Census Bureau. There is a 20 percent increase in last decade of women who never married.

“Every choice you make is a trade-off against something else…that applies to any limited resource that you need to manage, like your time, your energy, your focus or your attention. And that opens up two questions: what matters most; and how do you align your decision-making around what matters most?”

"Afford Anything: Build a Better Life," Podcast with Paula Pant.

What You Need to Address BEFORE You Date:

Avoid shutting down by saying, “Well I just won’t date ever again,” You have to keep making an effort if you want to meet someone—just hone that effort and be specific and clear as you go through the process.
Avoid getting depressed about your prospects. Many things in life that are worthwhile are also challenging.
What beliefs do you have about how men should treat women?
What beliefs do you have about how women should act in the dating process?
What beliefs do you have about communication, respect, and being treated well?
What beliefs do you have about monogamy, and do they still need to apply to you and your life?
What is your tolerance for being rejected and resilience from recovering from that?
What is your tolerance for needing to take time to sort through matches who do not fit?
How persistent are you in making an effort to advocate for what you need and want?
What is your self-esteem level like? What can you do to improve it?
If you feel defensive at all when reading this book, what are you defending against?
If you never give men a chance (after you have screen them first, of course), what are your fears of intimacy?
Do you have fears about making changes in your life?
If you are willing to take risks, evaluate that as well—dating can be very risky—make sure the risks are balanced and not endangering you or your children (like having a man you don’t know showing up to your house).
Are you willing to say “no” when you need to, or are you a people pleaser?
What are your deeper feelings about men—do you carry resentment and negativity toward them? Do you need to clear those feelings before you date?
When you encounter men who treat you poorly, do you clear the negative energy you feel toward them before you engage with someone else, or are you allowing those feelings to build up inside you?
What are your deeper feelings about yourself—your attractiveness, your worth, your ability to have a relationship?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In 1900 only 7% of women were single, in 2020 52% of women are currently single. That’s a significant jump in 120 years. And there’s a 20% increase in the last decade of women who have never married. As single women in the 21st century, we have our own opinions, our own boundaries, our own money, our own success, our own jobs and our own decisions that we’re making and a lot of times our own kids. Naturally that makes dating more challenging for us.
Online dating used to be people matching up, having conversations and seeing if they could have a relationship. Now even on sites like eHarmony there are scammers, ghost profiles, and people looking for immediate sexual connection. If you’re looking for a relationship you’re going o have to screen very carefully, you’ll have to ask very specific questions or pay attention to what those people are saying to you and how they say it so that you can be clear on who’s looking for sex and who’s looking for a relationship.
Some things to address emotionally and mentally before you date include: Don’t shut down and say I never want to date again because if you want to meet someone you’re going to have to make an effort and put yourself out there. The more specific and clear you are about what you’re looking for will make it smoother. Don’t share your last name or details about your kids on a first date for security and safety purposes.
It’s important for you to know what kind of communication, respect or being treated well looks like. For me, being treated well means you hour my boundaries. If I say I’m interested in ‘x’ but not in ‘y’ and they keep pushing for ‘y’, I’m not going to date that person, I want to be listened to, like most people do.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’ve (unfortunately) been doing online dating for about seven and a half years and I’ve talked to thousands of men, dealt with thousands of scammers and have been on over 130 dates.”
“What matters most and how do you align your decision making around what matters most?”
“People online have a lot less emotional sensitivity than they did when we used to meet in person. There are things that people say that are completely inappropriate or could be considered sexual harassment that they will say in a first sentence of a first contact.”
“Dating, by its very nature, is a process of acceptance or rejection and most of the time it’s rejection. You won’t believe what people will reject you for.”

ABOUT THE HOST

The Power of Connecting to the Other Side With Vicki Draper

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel shares an episode of another podcast she does with her friend and fellow energy healer Vicki Draper, about healing for pets and people. They are both energy healers and this week’s episode is about talking with pets and people on the other side, and processing and working through grief.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I can connect with pets on the other side. We can have communication and connection which is a nice piece of the grief process because the guardians of the pets that have passed over can say what they want to say, they can know where and how their animal is. The animal tells me a sign to tell their person that it really is them when this happens and it gives great comfort. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and the message is always unique because it’s unique to the pet and the person’s relationship.
Any unresolved grief you have from something else is going to trigger. The more you grieve and allow the process any time there is grief it makes each subsequent grief easier to deal with because you are dealing with them in the present each time, not storing it up.
No matter how long it’s been, we can find resolution because that opens the way for the new pets in the household and you’re more available to access the love that the new pets offer.
When you have multiple pets and one passes, honour your grief and remember to share love with the existing pets. They’re still in the mix. Sometimes grief can take somebody inwards and shut others out. Be mindful to celebrate the joy with the pets you still have while you’re honouring your grief. This can be hard.

BEST MOMENTS
“Our animals stay connected with us even when they’re on the other side.”
“Grief is unique to every person, and it has its own timeline.”
“We all love all of our pets, but there are those that come into our lives that are just that extra special connection.”
“Do self-care. Be nice, be gentle with yourself.”

ABOUT THE GUEST
Vicki Draper is a highly regarded modern-day animal healer and author who supports family animals with health, harmony and ease, addressing wellness during every stage of your animal’s life.

Replay: The Power Of The Hustle With Christine Lalonde

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Christine Lalonde, a woman who hustles in business as the host of the Fifty Shades of Bullshit Podcast, the creator of a docu series about Hollywood and a dating reality TV show, being a mom, as an actress and a model and an event coordinator.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I came up with my five door approach to hustle after moving to LA as a model. I was doing so many things, trying to learn all about the business, and people said to me “you should focus on one door, hone your craft and go through it to the next door when you’re ready”. I found that ridiculous because, what if that’s the one door that will never open. If I do 5 different things, who’s to say what door’s going to open? I’ll be prepared for any of them to open and I can then bring those other things with me.
Covid obliterated my event coordination business, so I needed to think about what direction I needed to go in, so I manifested overnight, in my sleep, I woke up in the morning and my documentary was there in my mind, I could see it, it was like a vision. I registered and copyrighted it and began writing it that day, I then called round people I knew in that business and it’s since turned into a docuseries – Hollywood Dreams: The Unexpected Journey.
I hope to inspire people around the world with this series who didn’t know that these jobs existed in Hollywood and never would have thought to go for it. Hollywood is way bigger than the celebrities that you read about.
The podcast started out talking to people about dating, what it’s like to date in the modern world, but has evolved to include dating coaches, therapists and experts in the dating world to help people look for the scammers, how to be comfortable within your skin when you’re single so that when you enter into a relationship you’re happy in that relationship.

BEST MOMENTS

“I never do something unless I’m really, really good at it.”

“In business, the first 2-3 years are the hardest and you’ve just gotta keep going.”

“I will do a lot for people without asking for anything in return because I believe that something will come back to you, if not from them then from somewhere else.”

“I hope to inspire people to not only know that they can find love at any age and that it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, your age, your ethnicity, your sex, you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it as long as you believe in yourself and go for it.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Christine Lalonde is a long-term professional in the entertainment business who began as a model and actor. Over a career spanning more than 20 years. As a single mom, she became a Queen of the Hustle, developing a varied career, from working as an event coordinator to the entertainment business, including filmmaking, production, casting and directing. She is currently the producer of an upcoming docuseries, Hollywood Dreams: The Unexpected Journey. She is also the host of Fifty Shades of BS Podcast.

The Empowered Woman's Guide to Online Dating: Set Your BS Tolerance to Zero

Replay: The Power of the Pivot With Nina Barnett

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Nina Barnett, a marketing and design professional, UX/UI designer, single mom and entrepreneur extraordinaire, to tell the story of her multiple pivots in life, from personal challenges to moving jobs to moving states and cities without a job to go to and what she’s learned from them along the way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

After a decade of working as a book designer in New York City for various publishers, I just knew I wanted to live on the West Coast and for the next adventure in my life. So, I did it, I moved to Seattle, got a laptop and was ready to freelance but eventually got a full time job as Seattle isn’t a publishing town. I eventually got made redundant in my third trimester. No one would take me on, so I really decided to go freelance in a different industry.
The next pivot, which I wasn’t expecting, or would wish on anyone, was the divorce pivot. That wasn’t a fun pivot, but at that point I had a 3 year old who was in preschool, so I had the days free to freelance, but once he was in elementary school I had to figure out childcare and how to get contract work/full-time work. But I realised I didn’t have a lot of the skills that the market needed. So, I pivoted again to general graphic design, rather than publishing. It wasn’t the time to go back to school and learn new skills, I just needed to get work with the skills that I had.
I had to really rely on myself. As much as it was scary, it was empowering at the same time. Coming from New York, I always felt I had a sense of resourcefulness and grit. You don’t have to come from there to have those qualities, you just have to be ready in advance and thinking ahead. I always had to rebrand myself, create a new website and marketing materials for myself for whatever U was trying to go after.
My Mom’s house was massively damaged by Hurricane Sandy and, thanks to a contract ending early, I was able to help her clean up 40 years worth of stuff she’d never thrown away, which was emotional, and get the house in order so she could eventually move. My Mom said, ‘you could do this for other people’ and this led to the mid-life crisis pivot, which was me getting burned out and sick of graphic design and starting over like my Mom was starting over. So, I created the company Home Serenity Now, which was organising and interior designing for people for a couple of years, despite not having the skills to do it. But it wasn’t enough money, or solid enough, so I went back to graphic design part time for Time as well as interior design, for a while, and it reignited my love for graphic design again.
During the pandemic I went back to school, because I knew I didn’t have the skillset for digital graphic design… I didn’t even understand the job descriptions! It came at the perfect time, my son was a teenager now. I did a two-year course in six months because there was nothing else to do because of the pandemic! I became a sponge because I wanted it so badly and I wanted stability for me and my child. I learned that I’m really capable of doing things that are difficult. Believe that if I can do it, you can do it.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’ve always listened to the feeling I’m getting”

“For a very long time I was always changing things in my life, and I had to be ready for the next thing that came my way.”

“You have to be ready when an opportunity comes your way, and you have to make those opportunities.”

“I found such joy helping people redesign their bedroom, recreate their office, get rid of things they don’t need and really capture the essence of who they are in a three-dimensional, physical way.”

The Power of Massage - Part 3

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel continues her series on massage information to help you deal with pains, aches, stress and elevate your mood.

Meridian brushing means that you use the flat palm of the hand to brush an area, either a place that feels tight or congested or hurts, or the meridian itself.

To get a visual reference of the location of the meridians, you can type in the name of the meridians online, click the images tab and you will be able to see the meridians, named below.

Governing Vessel
Conception Vessel
Gallbladder
Liver
Lung
Large Intestine
Stomach
Spleen
Heart
Small Intestine
Bladder
Kidney
Pericardium
Triple Heater

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Use the palm of your hand in either a medium tapping motion or a brushing motion, or you can use a loose fist with a relaxed wrist, on your meridians. Tapping on regions of the body in this way helps to reduce or eliminate muscle pain.
If you do this tapping and brushing protocol in the middle of the day, you might feel tired or you’ve been at your desk too long, you will feel better and like you can get back to work.

BEST MOMENTS

“Movement is one way to transport lymphatic fluid and chemical constituents out of the area to make you feel better.”
“All the meridians have different meanings, and they work with different areas and emotions.”

In this episode, Ariel brings out some tools from her massage toolbox to help you with your self-care regime.

CV 17 point: In the center of the chest in the same area of the heart chakra, this point opens up feelings of compassion, caring and love for self or others.

Lung 1 points: This point is about 1 inch above the top of the breast tissue line and is called the "letting go" point. It is excellent to help release grief, sadness and can sometimes be helpful for asthma or tension in the chest due to anxiety.

CV 6 point: Sea of Energy. Located about an inch below the belly button, this point is helpful when you are feeling tired. It helps open up energy flow in the body and helps you feel energized.

Pericardium 4-6 points: The points are great to treat nausea and motion sickness. Pregnant women can buy cloth-like "bracelets" with a white bead that they can place on one of these points to help with morning sickness. They are on the midline of the inside arm, about an inch above the wrist.

The book I mentioned: Shiatsu for Horses

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we don’t exercise enough, like spending hours and hours on Zoom calls, watching too much TV or gaming, lymphatic fluid accumulates when it should be circulating. In the last few years, the back part of the body – especially in the glutes, hamstrings and lower back when we’re sitting – is where we have a lot of pain caused by this lymphatic fluid.
Tapping and finger circles are two of the easiest ways of massaging accupoints on your body. Tapping is not like tapping at a keyboard, use your fingertips to set up a vibration of kinetic energy through the tissue. You can also use the back of your fingertips or a flat or cupped hand. It’s a great way to wake up parts of the body.
Most pain in accupoints comes from either an overabundance of or a deficiency in chi, or lifeforce energy. When you’re massaging your body and you find an area that’s painful, that’s a high energy accumulation asking to get dispersed. You need to circle counter-clockwise. Empty spaces (that sometimes feel cold) need energy and respond to a more nurturing, slower touch. You can hold the areas, press on them gently or make clockwise circles.

BEST MOMENTS

“Muscles can be sore from too much activity or not enough activity.”
“Alternate taking hot and cold dips in pools, try to spend at least a minute or longer in each of those. I’m telling you it is invigorating. You can also take hot and cold showers. ”
“It’s pretty amazing how quickly pain can disperse, it’s literally like pushing a button and your muscles relax.”

The Power of Massage, Part 1

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 01:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel brings her experience in massage to share some self-care tips to manage stress, headaches and more.

If you are interested in Come from the Heart: A Guidebook to Healing with Divine Energy, Part One and Part Two, reach out to Ariel.

Gallbladder 21 points

Large Intestine 4 Points

Stomach 2 Points

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When people find out I can see auras, see and talk to dead people, or talk to their bodies, and I can help them clear their pain and their stress, they ask me: “How did you become like this? Were you always like this? Did you start out this way or did you learn as you went along?” I was an energy sensitive child, aware of energy and non-physical beings in an era when no one knew what that meant or what it was.
I had these gifts and abilities but I didn’t have any explanation for it. I met someone called Terri at a book store and she asked my if I would help her start a healing circle. We met once a week for four years and offered energy sessions to the community. We started with three of us and ended up with a group of about 14 healers, sometimes 30-40 people a night would show up to get healing work.
The webbing between your index finger and thumb is called the Hoku point or Large Intestine 4. Over the years, people have discovered that if you massage this point it helps with digestion, nausea and headaches. I also believe it helps with your ability to focus. When you press on it and it feels like it’s pushing up against you, it’s called turgidity, which means there’s a lot of stuck energy.

BEST MOMENTS

“I ended up writing my own books on energy medicine because there just weren’t enough books out there explaining how to do what I was doing, and I knew I needed to share it with other people.”

“The shoulders is a tight area for almost everyone. Right where your neck meets your shoulder is a point called the Gallbladder 21s, these help deal with headaches, irritations and tight shoulders and necks.”

“Just under your eyes is a point called Stomach 2 which is for eye strain. You can just touch this for about 15 seconds and it will help you with eye strain.”

The Power of Managing Time Through Intention

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 01:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about using your intuition to manage your calendar when your day falls apart due to unforeseen circumstances, such as your child getting sick when your work calendar is insane.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As entrepreneurs, moms, caretakers and hard workers, we all have too much to do and too little time in which to get it done. Interruptions, errors, breakdowns and disruptions are a normal part of our day. What if you could use your intuition to guide you when everything you had planned goes awry. Over the years I’ve learned to address calendar, event and life changes using a combination of common sense, experience and intuition to find my way through the maze of GST – getting stuff done – even with interruptions and epic fails.
If something happens where you can’t do certain things on a certain day or time, you can ask some key questions about what’s important and you can also use your intuition to feel into what’s most important or what needs to happen. Imagine your intuition is your guidance energy that flows you through life, like a rope that’s guiding you along, getting across that challenge point to the other side.
Sometimes you can use your intuition/inner feelings/openness/flow to get a sense of what wants to happens next. If you have five different things you want to accomplish, go within, close your eye, take some deep breaths and think about those five different things and think about which one of those five different activities wants to happen first, or which feels most open/easy. There’s a feeling you’ll get where it will reschedule your day, but if you get this feeling/intuition that this is the order those things are supposed to happen in and you flow with that order, things will work out in really positive ways that you couldn’t have planned or expected.
When you have breakdowns when you have a deadline, one of the most important things to do is communicate with the people who are expecting you to accomplish something at a certain time. Tell the people you can’t meet the deadline for immediately and ask what can be done; can it be finished tomorrow? Can someone else do it? Then you can relax and let go of the stress, worry and upset about not getting that thing done. Then, you can focus on what you can do.

BEST MOMENTS

“Find the activities you can do and then accomplish those, and which activity is most easily accomplished first, or which one are you most prepared for on your new schedule?”
“If you’re stressed that things got cancelled you have to do some deep breathing and let go of your upset that half your day has been cancelled. What can you do?”
“When you’re in the zone you get way more done than when you struggle and fight.”
“You’re going to feel freed up, more alive and happy in your work.”

The Power of Yes

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode of Woman Power Zone, Ariel talks about the power of the word ‘yes’, but to talk about the power of yes she also needs to talk about how people live in a place of ‘no’ and negativity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Some people say not to everything and expect things not to work out, there’s always a reason why newness is a bad thing. A lot of us live our lives in the past, something bad, negative, unpleasant, painful or difficult happened and we developed an avoidance coping strategy to avoid anything that could possibly lead to a similar experience. So, we say no to experiences that could be helpful or help us grow or have the life that we’re looking for. We also act like the thing in the past, that we’re trying to avoid, will happen again, which is crazy.
We need to embrace the power of yes and open up to new possibilities. The power of yes is where we’re open to accomplishing a goal, even though it looks like there are a million obstacles in the way, and we say yes to doing the things that make that goal happen.
To be in the power of yes, we need to let go of our emotional negativity, fear and holding on to the past. Ironically, even though holding onto the past gives us nothing we often seek the security of the known of negativity rather than the unknown of positivity and what good things could happen. A lot of people seek security above all else, they have to let go of their tendency of seeking security in order to open up to the power of yes.
We’ve all experienced negative states, it’s a part of life, I’m not suggesting that you’re always going to be in a positive state. However, when you’re in a negative state, you’re going to want to shift yourself out of that and into something else. Think about a situation you have and notice your thoughts about it. Do you just assume it’s not going to work out? When you’re thinking that way, instead, ask yourself “is there a possibility that this could turn out another way?” If you keep focussing on that and imagine other outcomes that are positive, imagining that can shift the energy of your internal experience which can sometimes affect your external experience.

BEST MOMENTS

“People limit themselves and shut down their energy flow and don’t get to live a life that’s positive or lift themselves up or opening to another space of possibility where something else could show up. After doing this for a number of years people start to live a very closed life.”
“If we assume the things we do now will lead to the same outcome of things that happened in the past we could end up creating a self-fulfilling cycle of creating outcomes and ironically creating the negative experience that we didn’t want to create before.”
“The power of yes is a belief that with inspired action you can get something done. It’s not a catchphrase, it’s a perspective of openness.”
“Contemplating new conclusions builds different neural pathways in your brain and also lowers stress hormones in your blood.”

The Power of No, Revisited

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode of Woman Power Zone, Ariel revisits the importance of letting go of pleasing people, being selective about how we spend our time and standing up for ourselves.

Resentment toward another person is a clear indication that you are not following your own intuition or respecting your own needs or desires. Immediately stop finger-pointing, allow your adult self and Higher Self to engage, take a deep breath and focus.

What is the resentment about?

A need to say no to what you are doing or what is happening?

A deeper need to do something else?

A need to make a different decision and take a different action?

Then, give yourself permission to know what you want:

Say to yourself, "I am powerful and I have the right to make my own decisions and be my own person. So the decision I would make in this situation is ... " Allow yourself to become aware of this decision.

Tips to free yourself from people-pleasing:

"I free myself from people-pleasing."

"I fundamentally love and accept myself."

Step 1: Free yourself from the need for other people's approval! This sounds simple, but may take you time to accomplish. You will need to do some self-examination to discover whether your actions, questions or decisions are actually based on an unconscious desire to gain love or approval from others. It takes some work to let go of the illusion of security you may think you have if people approve of you.

Step 2: Be willing to ask the hard questions of yourself.

Why do I feel like I emotionally need to be liked/loved/approved of by that person?

What would it take for me to feel good enough if I did not have their approval?

Step 3: If I fundamentally accepted and approved of myself, what actions would I take instead?

Step 4: Emotionally and energetically detach yourself from your need for their approval. As a side note: If you need help with the energetic side of this, you can reach me through the contact info in the show notes. I can help you disengage (NOT cut!!!) energetic cording you may have with this person.

Step 5: Take the new actions.

Step 6: Notice what happens. Does that other person actually reject you if you do something that supports yourself? Or maybe, just maybe, they respect you more?

Here are some things you could say:

"I really appreciate the invitation, but I do have some things I need to get done and I need to take time to do them."
"Thanks for the feedback on that. I will keep that in mind, but I am going to make some different choices based on my experience/intuition/training."
"Actually, I am not going to be able to volunteer this year. I have a lot of demands on my time, and to stay balanced and healthy, I am going to need to decline this time."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A lot of people have poor boundaries and they have difficulties saying no to other people, for a variety of reasons. From time management to saying no to their kids or their husband and what they’re doing, saying no to somebody at work, like a boss, or even just no to trying to look good, be perfect, all the kinds of things that we deal with.
‘No’ is something that’s hard for a lot of women to say. Some of this has to do with the way women are conditioned to say ‘yes’, to be nice, to be friendly, to be helpful, to be supportive. Those attributes are good things, but sometimes we do this at the expense of our own boundaries, our selves, our energy, our livelihoods or ways we make money, we do a lot of things to make other people happy but don’t necessarily do them for ourselves.
One of the main feelings that comes up when we should be saying no but we’re not saying no is resentment. It’s a wonderful measure to let you know if something’s happening that’s not working for you but you’re not being honest about it. If you have that feeling come up, immediately look to take responsibility for your own feelings. It’s really immature to blame someone else for what’s happening or what we’re feeling.
When you’re looking to change the habit of pleasing people, you’re going to have to do some self-examination to discover whether your actions, questions or decisions are actually based on an unconscious desire to gain love or approval from others. It might take some work to let go of the illusion of security that you may think that you have if people approve of you. Sometimes when people approve of us, that’s literally an energy that comes from them to us and it feels good. But that energy isn’t necessarily something that we need, what we need is to self-generate that energy of approval, love, acceptance And caring from within ourselves, then you can disengage from other people’s energy.

BEST MOMENTS

“Having poor boundaries about how we let others treat us and not honouring or managing our own time or energy can be an issue for a lot of people. What’s amazing is that the tiny little word ‘no’ is extremely powerful.”
“To transcend being controlled by the need for others’ approval we have to take some responsibility for our own feelings.”
“Give yourself permission to know what you want. Say to yourself: I am powerful, and I have the right to make my own decisions and be my own person.”
“A lot of people will treat you better if you say no. They will see someone who stands up for themselves, that values themselves, respects themselves and they will reflect that internal sense of value you have for yourself back to you.”

The Power of Manifesting 2023

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode of Woman Power Zone, Ariel shares her tips for manifesting and creating something to get you set up for the New Year.

The Wheel of Life is a helpful tool to set goals for the week or the year. Here is one site where you can see how this is done. https://images.app.goo.gl/8k48Feqb6XHCYAJz8

Tips:

#1 Give yourself grace. Some goals take more than one year to achieve. Give yourself time and space to achieve goals, and the trip to achieving them may be circuitous, and that is okay.

#2 Clear negative emotions--exercise, journal them and burn the list or other exercises to clear unproductive energy.

#3 Focus on your goals: Visualise or think about your goals, using a variety of media--focus wheels, art, voice memo lists, vision boards.

#4 Recognize any resistance. Is it valid resistance based on a legitimate feeling, or unproductive resistance based on insecurities or negative thoughts? Clear unproductive resistance.

#5 Create your action steps. Then do them!

#6 Notice your results!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

New Years are a time of transition. A lot of people see them as a time to shift into something new, a different space, a time to think about what to create in the upcoming 12 months, look at resolutions or words that will categorise the year that’s coming up. It’s a time to pause, if you can, and reflect on what’s coming up.
Sometimes creating goals is more nuanced than simply writing them down and the steps to get to it. Sometimes we step backwards to go forward, sometimes we step sideways, sometimes we take a long detour that eventually gets us back to our goal. It’s OK if moving into a space that you want to get to is not necessarily straightforward. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to accept that it’s not always going to go the way it should.
What kind of year do you want to create? How do you want to feel? What kind of feeling states do you want to experience (joy, peace, satisfaction, freedom)? What can you do to experience those states? Write them down somewhere.
Sometimes we get distracted from our goals by emotional upset, there are a lot of things that push our buttons in life. When you get emotionally triggered it’s important to breathe and do some kind of grounding activity to try to shift the emotional energy out of your body. That could be exercise, yoga, taking a walk, doing art, talking to a friend, writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and burning it. Then, imagine you’re achieving that goal. That gets your mind into a state where you start finding creative answers to how you’re going to achieve that goal.

BEST MOMENTS

“Do you want something different than you had before? Do you want to improve upon what you’ve already got going?”

“Sometimes we just have to let some goals wait until we get higher priority goals complete and then we can move on with the secondary goals, and that’s OK.”

“Life doesn’t always show up the way we plan it to, sometimes it’s actually better than what we planned.”

Happy Holidays Edition

Sun, 25 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel celebrates the holidays and gives you some background on holiday lore and history.
Information on the holidays on Wikipedia is here. Consider making a donation to Wikipedia as well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_and_holiday_season

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first major holiday coming up is Hanukkah, a wonderful Jewish celebration about the miracle about how people who went to celebrate in a temple that had been destroyed with supplies that were only supposed to last one night and ended up lasting multiple nights.
The excitement around Christmas has increased a lot in the 19th and 20th century. It used to not be as commercial as it is today. The origins were looking at celebrating the birth of Christ. Some people believe Christ was born in September and others believe he was born on the night of the solstice, but because the Gregorian calendar wasn’t quite right back in those days, they got the date wrong and it was moved to the 25th. Others believe this date is coalesced with the pagan faiths which Christians were trying to absorb.
Kwanzaa was invented in the 20th century for the African American community and is also a celebration where people get together with their family and celebrate love and togetherness.
This holiday season can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. For some it’s a time of joy, light, celebration, and happiness. For others it’s a really difficult time. If you’re struggling or you know someone who is struggling during this time, please reach out. Someone who is lonely, sad, frustrated, feeling isolated, especially if they’re experiencing challenges, could really benefit from having you call them, listen to them, drop by a gift or just cook them a meal or keep them company.

BEST MOMENTS

“Pagan tradition means something that is not Christian, it doesn’t mean anything negative, it has to do with celebrating the cycles of nature, the stars and the cycles of the Earth. It’s a positive belief system.”
“Each day of the 12 Days of Christmas has a different significance.”
“Christmas started to be celebrated in Japan due to the American occupation during WWII.”
“Giving is a gift in of itself – donating clothes, money or food is a wonderful thing to do, or simple acts of service and kindness for someone.”

Laura LeDoux: The Power of FemTech

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by returning guest Laura LeDoux about a serious issue, that what you don’t know can hurt you. Women’s FemTech data can be used against them, this is something you should know about so you can tell your families and friends.

Ida Tin coined the term FemTech. She is the Co-Founder of Clue, a women's health tracking app. FemTech has grown to encompass a range of technology-enabled, consumer-centric products and solutions.

Other examples of women's healthcare apps are: Nurx (birth control delivery); Khair (tracking your period, pregnancy, speaking to a doctor); Sexual Activity Log and Tracker (this includes birth control information as well as sexual activity); Ease (birth control reminders), and Unified Women's Healthcare.

The Griswold versus Connecticut case was the Supreme Court case that first gave women the right to contraception in the United States in 1965, making the prevention by states of the use of contraception by married couples illegal in 1965.

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/381/479/

States that ban abortion are: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma

From: https://www.google.com/search?q=states+that+ban+abortion&rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS1020US1027&oq=states+that+ban+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i512l9.7504j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Interactive map of abortion laws in the U.S.:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/us/abortion-laws-roe-v-wade.html

Some states that have restricted access to contraception funds are:

Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

From:

New Research Shows State Restrictions Reduce Contraception Use by Christine Vestal, 9/22/22, Pew Charitable Trusts, https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2022/09/22/new-research-shows-state-restrictions-reduce-contraception-use

Megan Kavanaugh, principal research scientist at Guttmacher, said,“Given the increased restrictive climate around abortion in our country, we are anticipating amped-up attacks on contraceptive access, as both of these are efforts that target people’s reproductive autonomy and freedom,” she added.

Guttmacher’s research describes the change in contraceptive use that occurred after Iowa opted out of a Medicaid family planning program in 2017 and set up its own state-funded contraception program, which excluded clinics that provided abortion along with other health services.

The study found that the share of patients at publicly funded family planning centres in Iowa who had not recently received contraceptives increased from 32% to 62% over two years. The share of patients not using any contraceptive method increased from 9% to 15%.

Roughly 50 million, or 65% of women of reproductive age, 15-49, used some form of contraception from 2015 to 2017, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 1 in 3 low-income people who use contraception rely on Planned Parenthood or other publicly funded clinics to pay for the often-costly pills or devices. Medicaid, which covers about 70 million individuals, is the largest funding source for free contraception.

Another federal program, Title X, provides additional funds to roughly 4,000 clinics across the country to support access to contraception. During the Trump administration, those funds were withheld from Planned Parenthood and other clinics that provide abortion.

In July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a reminder to insurance companies that birth control, along with other preventive care, must be covered under the Affordable Care Act at no cost. The agency said the action was part of a Biden administration effort to protect women’s access to contraception in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that eliminated the longstanding federal right to abortion.

“Under the ACA, you have the right to free birth control — no matter what state you live in,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “With abortion care under attack, it is critical that we ensure birth control is accessible nationwide, and that employers and insurers follow the law and provide coverage for it with no additional cost.”

From https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2022/09/22/new-research-shows-state-restrictions-reduce-contraception-use

What can women do to be proactive with their data privacy and security and their healthcare apps?

Protect your data

Use enhanced protection, especially if you’re in a state that does not protective women’s reproductive rights, e.g.
Pseudonyms
Having sensitive conversations orally instead of over text/email/apps
Be aware that deleting data does NOT make it unavailable to law enforcement
Don't post personal health conditions on social media

Lobby your local lawmakers to enhance data privacy laws at the state level to protect healthcare data shared over apps
In extreme cases, move to a state that honours and protects women’s reproductive rights.

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is also affected by the Roe decision.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

From https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-4/

KEY TAKEAWAYS

FemTech is something that’s at the forefront of technology in general and specifically technology to do with women’s health. It provides solutions to improve healthcare for women across a number of female-specific conditions including maternal health, menstrual health, pelvic health, sexual health, fertility, menopause, contraception, other general health conditions that affect women disproportionately such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease. It also affects the transgender community as well.
There is no Federal protection for women’s reproductive rights. The Dobbs Decision has now left that to each individual state. You may have certain rights in ‘x’ state and then you move into ‘y’ state and now you no longer have those same rights.
Health data that’s collected by a health provider, like a hospital or doctor’s office, is protected by a Federal law called HIPA (Healthcare Information Privacy Act). HIPA doesn’t apply to data collected by a healthcare app, for example, that you’re using to track your menstrual cycle because you're trying to get or avoid getting pregnant. That data is protected by whatever state law is in effect with regards to data privacy in general.
The upsides of FemTech are that it creates apps, and virtual and digital space that improves care delivery with virtual clinics, direct to consumer prescription delivery – including the morning after pill – it enables self-care through tracking diagnostics, it improves diagnostics, it addresses stigmatised topics such as menstrual health, sexual health and pelvic care. It delivers culturally sensitive and tailored care for frequently marginalised communities, it also opens up healthcare and certain types of healthcare that maybe weren’t able to be physically present in neglected communities. It’s really been a catalyst for positive changes in healthcare. But now, with the collapse of privacy protections after Roe vs Wade we really need to be proactive in making sure we’re being vigilant about our own data privacy and security when using FemTech apps and what kinds of conversations we’re having over text messages.

BEST MOMENTS

“Women’s health rights have always been important, but they’ve never been more important than they are now in the wake of the Dobbs Decision.”
“If aggressive states can utilise this data in any way to prove that somebody may have intentionally miscarried, then they can file criminal charges against those women.”
“There are now cases where women are having defence attorneys in the emergency room with them to protect them if they’re having a miscarriage.”
“State like Texas don’t have any exceptions for rape or incest. It’s horrifying.”

Erin D’Orio: The Power of the Healthy Mind

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by psychologist Erin D’Orio about the power of the healthy mind, with tips and ideas to help you maintain your balance, let go of negativity and get motivated. We also learn about equine-assisted therapy.

Affirmations:

"All of you are wonderful, all of you are good."
"All of me is welcome."
"I love me, all parts of me, totally and completely. I am healed, whole and complete."

Techniques Erin recommends:

To address de-motivation, use the Rocket countdown, "5-4-3-2-1" to "blast off" the couch once you reach 1.
Doing a job/task you don't enjoy: Set the timer for 15 minutes to get things done. Dishes, clean the fridge, or any other task.
Aerobic Exercise for dopamine and endorphin release.
Do something you love! Take classes on the topic you enjoy. Find what you love to do and what is the footwork towards doing something you can do for a living.
Have a "business meeting" with yourself to think about the things that need to be done in your life.
Do something to help someone else so your focus is not on yourself.
Brush off negative energy in the restroom at work and flush it!
Grounding yourself consistently.

Anxiety comes from thinking about what you are not doing and depression comes from thinking about what you haven't done.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When I was about 13, I was a “difficult child” and I was sent off to boarding school. That turned out to be a place for getting my feet wet in abnormal psychology because there was a whole bunch of girls there that had a multitude of problems, from kleptomania to step-dad taking girl out for the weekend and doing things to her – that particular girl tried to commit suicide and I was involved with the clean-up of that. the Math teacher tried to rape me and that’s how I got back into regular high school, but in the meantime I’d had a year and a half of quite an education and I think that started me off to being observant of human behaviour and being fascinated with it.
A lot of people have been traumatised in one way or another, so I do EMDR, which is eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing. That helps the brain to go back – much like cleaning out a filing cabinet – to a critical point which is often stuck, not only in a person’s mind, but in their body and their cells. When we go back and re-look at that point I do a series of eye movements in front of their eyes which allows the brain to go back into all sorts of memories right around that and other places, which unsticks that point. It goes from a dramatic, colourful picture of intensity to more like a black and white picture that’s still there but doesn’t have that intensity anymore.
I try to teach people practical things too. Firstly, I ask people to bring all of themselves. People want to compartmentalise – part of them is bad and part of them is good. Some people just need some help in their daily life, people have got very disorganised during Covid, they’ve got messy or sloppy or they watch too much TV.
I see a lot of younger people that are very non-motivated. Their parents bring them in and ask me to “fix my teenage kid”. Well, it’s usually the parents’ problem, not the kid. However, what we’re having trouble with is getting people to be motivated, to move forward in their life, find something they really want to do. I think screen addiction is a really big problem in that area, it tends to stop people getting out into the world. I try to help people find something they really want to do, because, once you’ve found that thing, it’s not a job, it’s a pleasure.

BEST MOMENTS

“Exercise is really a very good grounding for overall health, and mentally it creates all kinds of brain chemicals that are natural and make you feel good.”
“Sometimes I do a breathing technique where I talk about the cells being happy and breathing in happiness and you can see their whole demeanour change, even if they’re under hypnotherapy.”
“All of you are wonderful, all of you are good.”
“For all the horrible jobs around the house you don’t like to do, set a timer for 15 minutes – you can do anything in 15 minutes – the timer helps you work against the clock.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Erin D’Orio is a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in various types of therapy and healing modalities. She works with traditional methods such as Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR (eye movement, desensitisation and reprocessing), Addiction/Substance problems, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Hypnotherapy and non-conventional methods such as shamanic journey work, energy healing, Equine Assisted and Transpersonal therapy.

She has worked in several substance abuse treatment centres as well as county mental health agencies and has a wide background of experience.

Currently she has a private practice so that she can work in her own time frame and take the session wherever it needs to go. Erin loves this work for its "spur of the moment, whatever walks in the door" quality and although there is always a treatment plan for the session that day, it usually goes "off the cuff" and she follows the bouncing ball wherever the client needs to go for their healing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cuffing Season is a term people use for the need to get together with someone, especially during the holidays, when they’re going out to social events and they’re going to be judged if they’re single. Also, when it’s cold and lonely and dark, a lot of people want to get with somebody, so they’ve got someone to hang out with and spend time with.
When a lot of us were younger, we thought dating was hanging out with friends, you get to know somebody in person, you decide whether you like them, you spend time together going out to movies and dinner and maybe over time it may evolve into something that has a romantic/sexual connection. When I started dating this time around I realised that something had greatly changed during the dating process. It took two years of men asking me outrageously inappropriate questions, skipping dating steps, practising forced intimacy, breadcrumbing me (stringing me along), ghosting me, and having a lot of uncomfortable conversations to realise the inherent nature of dating had changed.
What’s happened in the last 35 years in dating – I call it the devolution of dating. In 1985 we met people through friends or relatives at a social event or a bar. We spend time doing activities, we develop trust and a connection through activities, talking and interaction. Sometimes this included sex. We would then meet that person’s family and friends and interact with them as well, and after an extended period of time we decide to have a committed relationship and maybe get married. In 2005 the process is meet somebody through friends, family or online, potentially go out for dinner or maybe a coffee date and about 25-30% of men wanted sex on a first date and these men were often frowned upon and women warned each other about them. We’d still establish a deeper connection though by doing activities with them, meeting their friends and family, etc. In 2015 you meet someone them same way, you talk online for weeks/months before meeting them and be asked specific and sexually explicit questions almost always around sex. They want to find out if you want sex with them and, if you’re lucky, you’ll get a coffee date or dinner and 50-60% of the men expect sex on the first date. If you’re lucky you make it to a second date. Anything long term is an unlikely possibility. Now, in 2022, you meet someone online, sometimes you’re asked if you’re vaccinated because of Covid, and a lot of people will talk to you for a few minutes via text of live video, if you get past that first conversation you might talk for a week or two and a lot of times, they’ll ghost you. If you’re lucky, you’ll go on a coffee date. But at least 30-70% of men will send you an unsolicited ‘D pic’ and they expect you to reciprocate. If you meet them, they’re going to expect to have sex with you and you’ll never see them again. It’s almost impossible these days to find someone who’s interested in a long-term relationship. Of course, there are exceptions.
When men take women for granted they don’t behave the way they know would be the best way to act. They know how to do the right thing, they just don’t want to do it. Instead of putting the effort in, he’s just looking for expedient sex and he treats you like something that he can just order up like a pizza. This behaviour is a gigantic red flag and you need to block them immediately.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’m a veteran of dating. I’ve done it at various points in my life like when I was looking to get married because I wanted to become a parent, most recently after I got divorced, I had a period of dating and have talked online to literally thousands of men and have dated around 125.”
“If you don’t know what a ‘D Pic’ is, imagine an anatomical male region of the body and people take pictures of themselves and they send these to women, often unsolicited. The crazy part is they expect women to send pictures back. And they consider this a courtship ritual. It’s frightening.”
“If you go online you’re going to see some crazy photos, most of which are unflattering, you’re going to see very little effort at trying to put the best foot forward, and usually they’ll go straight into sexual stuff unless you’ve set up boundaries.”
“Having access to more women than they normally would strengthens this attitude of ‘plenty of fish in the sea’ and they think they have innumerable opportunities to meet these women, so they take the ‘throw noodles against the wall and see what sticks’ approach.”

ABOUT THE HOST

The Power Of Heart Healing - with Wendy Sloneker

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Wendy Sloneker to talk about heart healing and tool to clear and heal your heart.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Heart healing is something that we aren’t always encouraged or taught to do, but I needed to know how to do it. Have you ever had an experience where you’re trying to figure it out using your brain and you can’t, and it’s driving you nuts. Oftentimes this has to do with emotions. In the case of heart healing, we’re actually using the heart to heal, even if it’s broken. We’re going in with the right tool for the right thing.
There are several tools that we just don’t know about because we’re busy over-eating or over-drinking about it, coping in different ways. We think the short term fix of shopping or gambling or sex or binge-watching your favourite TV will handle it long term, when it doesn’t. Short term fixes are great for the short term, but long term they stink.
One of the best things is to be in safe, non-judgemental space, I’m not going to bear it all to someone that I don’t really know if I can trust. Having a safe space definitely sets a tone for the environment and having an agreement about how we work. I work with honesty, confidentiality and the understanding that every life event, every loss, every relationship is unique and individual. I also use tools based in cognitive behavioural therapy, but I use them in a coaching approach. Before that, I go through a process of teaching people how to feel a feeling.
Most obvious issues are the two big D’s, death and divorce. Also included in divorce are estrangement in relationships, breakups, engagements broken off, long-term and short-term breakups of many kinds. Moving is lesser known, but it still generates a feeling of loss, especially if they’re young, leaving friends and support systems and going somewhere foreign. Moving out or having your kids move out can also be really painful. People think that when great stuff happens like marriage, having kids, getting into recovery, getting out of jail, even though these changes are amazing and transformative can bring about feeling of loss based on change based on fear, your identity changes. This is not the case for everyone, but you need to look at those feelings and allow them.

BEST MOMENTS

“The brain is not broken when it comes to grief and loss, it’s the heart that’s broken so we’re going to use the heart to heal.”
“It’s really difficult for the brain, when it gets into a really calcified brain pattern, to stop thinking in a loop.”
“We’re encouraged to ignore grief: Whatever you do, don’t feel!”
“One of the common fears is that this will never end, but that’s untrue, your brain is afraid of feeling and is afraid it’s going to die. It’s the ego and it feels so real.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Wendy Sloneker helps people suffering from loss to reclaim a sense of aliveness: “I have a vision of helping people learn to confidently, proactively, and freely navigate the hard feelings of loss, pain, isolation, heartbreak, and grief. The stuff that happens naturally in life itself.

When we are able to process the hardest feelings in a healthy, intentional way, we can work, communicate, love, play, and share this life experience with more harmony, greater satisfaction and confidence, and more joy. Can you imagine?”

The Power Of Doing What You Love

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by Stacy Heller, a business empath and intuitive, who helps people bring alive their vision and helps them do what they love. They talk about how to connect with your inner aliveness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

For years I thought that I was really intelligent, but it turns out I’m just articulate and basically, a lot of the information that I was getting about things – opinion, suggestions, ideas, insights – were actually downloads of information (from nowhere that makes sense for who you’re working with or whoever the message is for) that had nothing to do with my intelligence. I just knew how to articulate them in a way that whomever I was talking to, working with, partnering with would understand.
People come to me looking for direction, messaging, how to move forward with their potential. My intuition comes into it because, again, I don’t necessarily know things about insurance, law or financial advice, but my clients are really varied, but the one thing they all have in common is that they want to be seen to be authentic and they want their message to be understood and that’s something I can do.
If I were to go back to school and study something, my whole body of research would be about exploring who we were when we were 6-8 years old and how we played, what was our imaginary play? It’s as applicable for women as it is for men, what did we do? What did we dream about before our parents forced us to take ballet or our friends said ‘that’s not cool’, or financial situations and awareness of social norms. What are the things that made us really happy, that place that we were content?
I have a friend that needed to make some extra money and it was going into the holidays and I said: “What do you like to do?” She replied: “When I was a kid I really enjoyed wrapping presents, I was really good at it, people always commented on it.” There you go, let people know you want to wrap presents and that you’d be happy to do it. She ended up not making a ton of money, but enough that she was able to do what was stressing her out and she had so much fun and went back to her childhood.

BEST MOMENTS
“People that have really strayed from their earliest dreams but have a thin line to it that has stayed with them are happier than people who have completely snipped the line.”
“Sometimes it helps to look at a picture of yourself between 6-8 and think ‘what was it that really made them happy?’ Are you doing anything that you can even remotely translate into what made you happy at that age? What makes your tail wag?”
“The universe doesn’t hear negative, so all it does (when you say ‘I don’t want that') is remove the word ‘don’t’ and what it hears is ‘I want, I want, I want’. Now you’re getting all of these negative things. Also, replace the word ‘what’ with the word ‘and’.”
“You can go to the pity party, but you can only stay for one drink. The aliveness of being upset or overwhelmed is a good feeling and you should feel it, but then you should step away and say you’ve had enough, otherwise you’ll start wallowing.”

The Power Of Women’s Rights – Replay

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the upcoming election in the US that will determine the course of women’s rights and the rights of other populations for decades to come. In this episode, she reshares the history of women’s voting rights and how hard won they were. Thousands of women and men worked for decades so that women could vote, I do hope that you’ll exercise your right to vote this week and make you voice heard. Your vote matters.

A video about the history of women's rights. A Brief History of Women's Rights

8/26/1920: When the federal government certified states’ ratification of the 19th amendment pertaining to voting rights for women, after decades of the Suffragettes lobbying for the right to vote. White women gained the right to vote, but women of color were discriminated against and prevented from voting by state laws for many years.

"After the 19th amendment passed, Black women did vote and run for office in New York, as opposed to many states that passed state and local laws disenfranchising them. But Native American women and Asian American women were barred from voting due to other federal citizenship laws: Native women until 1924 and some Asian women until the 1950s." From https://www.mcny.org/story/100-years-19th-amendment?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyMiTBhDKARIsAAJ-9Vt8vS_FOHXmrwDYol5LRzj8pcum6FYcvzyIt87L5yrJ7sdeuoLe9TIaAjenEALw_wcB

See the Twelve Reasons Why Women Should Vote flyer from 100+ years ago. Many of these reasons still apply to life today.

https://www.mcny.org/story/100-years-19th-amendment?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyMiTBhDKARIsAAJ-9Vt8vS_FOHXmrwDYol5LRzj8pcum6FYcvzyIt87L5yrJ7sdeuoLe9TIaAjenEALw_wcB

Roe Versus Wade, Explained:

"States are allowed to regulate a wide variety of actions in the interest of protecting people. But the Constitution limits the states’ rights to regulate. One of those limits is based on an individual’s right to liberty. In Roe v. Wade, McCorvey (Roe) argued the Constitution protected her liberty to choose to have an abortion, above the state’s right to regulate abortion."

"A woman's choice to have an abortion outweighs the state's concern for pre-natal life--up to the point of viability." (This is when the fetus can survive on it's own outside the womb.)

From https://subscriptlaw.com/roe-v-wade/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyMiTBhDKARIsAAJ-9VuCb0vcJxWb61_XX5EOP9AdAtfwSsM7JUKnNpxlYO8pKNqqIwNZOaAaArPUEALw_wcB

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision in favor of "Jane Roe" (Norma McCorvey) holding that women in the United States had a fundamental right to choose whether to have abortions without excessive government restriction and striking down Texas's abortion ban as unconstitutional.

From https://www.google.com/search?q=when+did+roe+vs+wade+become+law&oq=when+&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j0i67l3j0i131i433j0i512l2j0i131i433.1680j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The Equal Rights Amendment has never become part of the Constitution of the United States:

The late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia addressed this clearly in an interview in the Atlantic in 2011 where he said, “Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn’t.” This is exactly why we need the ERA.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

All women in the United States, and all over the world, need to know that their ability to make decisions for their lives are being eroded, and it’s a significant threat. Normally I don’t talk about negative things like this, but you do need to know that this issue and what you do now and in the next six months, before and at the mid-term elections, is going to make a huge difference for women for years or even decades to come.
Row vs Wade became law in 1973, this was a court case which gave women a higher access to deciding what was happening with her body than the State’s ability to decide what was happening with her body when she was pregnant.
According to studies, women don’t feel like they have equal opportunities, access to leadership, they feel like they’re not taken as seriously and a lot of times they don’t get access to higher paid jobs, the glass ceiling is real in a lot of professions.
One in three female rape victims recorded experienced rape for the first time between the ages of 11-17 years old and one in eight before the age of 10. If you think about it, 20% of women have experienced sexual violence, it’s terrifying.

BEST MOMENTS

“This episode is not about politics, it’s about rights. There’s a difference.”

“There’s a drop in men getting education, and it’s a serious issue.”

“The covid pandemic set women back 30 years because some left their jobs to look after their kids and some of them aren’t going to go back.”

“Voting is one of many crucial tools in the activist’s toybox. Women have often sought change through voting or running for office, but they’ve also worked behind the scenes in government and pushed for change through grass-roots activism.”

The Power Of Emotional Regulation

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how you have the power at your fingertips to clear away negative emotions so you can move through challenges and pain and get back to being present.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever had a fear, anxiety or emotion sweep over you so powerfully that it took you out of being present, or slowed or stopped you momentum? Have your kids ever had a meltdown so intense that it ruined their and your day? Have you ever been in a creative space and on a roll and suddenly got emotionally triggered only to lose your progress and focus? Negative emotions also inhibit our ability to learn, cope and in some cases, function. Tapping is a tool that can lift you out of the emotional fog of being triggered, to get out of stress response and to return to being present and engaged again.
Verbally focussing on a problem or issue (emotional or physical) while manually stimulating acupuncture points can bring surprising relief – particularly with fears, phobias and physical responses to stress.
I had a student with a life-long snake phobia that was so intense she could barely breathe and was totally distracted if someone even mentioned a snake, much less seeing one with person. One EFT session significantly calmed her from a 10 out of 10 reaction to a 3 out of 10.
A study showed an improvement was found in 90% of patients who received tapping point acutherapy compared to 63% of the CBT participants. Only 3 acupoint tapping sessions were needed before an individual’s anxiety reduced while 15 sessions were needed for CBT to show results. Complete relief o of symptoms were seen in 76% of people in acupoint tappging group compared to 51% of the people in the CBT group

BEST MOMENTS

“Tapping can also help with pain and food craving as well as phobia, anxiety and depression reduction.”

“EFT helps to reduce pain and change pain reception and helps clear negative emotions.”

“It could change the way the body reads genes and that could have some really profound effects.”

“The hardest part is remembering to do this when you have pain, you’re upset or something is pushing your buttons. Give it a try and see what happens.”

The Power Of The Idea

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about the power of the idea. “Which idea?” you ask, whichever idea will make a difference in your life. We’re going to branch out and get into some creativity development today!
"23andMe to Showcase New Research at American Society of Human Genetics Meeting," 10/19/22. www.23andme.com
23andMe white paper on genetic research. https://permalinks.23andme.com/pdf/23_21-PRSMethodology_May2020.pdf
Getting into creation mode:

First thing--especially when you are brainstorming your way out of a problem--release assigning blame! Blaming shuts down creativity faster than any other behaviour, in my experience. Don’t blame me! You can take responsibility--but move on from that.
Relax. Do something to get yourself out of stress. That could be getting a massage, exercising, receiving intimate touch, having a great meal, meditating, having a great conversation. Once you are out of a stress response, your mind can come up with alternative solutions.
Start imagining there is another way to come up with an answer, a solution, or solve a problem.
As ideas start coming to you, write them down, voice or video record them.
Don't edit ideas. Accept all of them.
Once you get some ideas, sort through them, re-combine or re-organize them until you find something that works.
Take a moment to appreciate the process!
Then take action with your idea! See what happens!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever had ideas that were life-changing? Maybe it was an incredible change in perception – something you’d been holding on to for decades suddenly released and you could look at everything else differently, which happens in healing sessions a lot. Ideas are really powerful, our perceptions of reality, how we think we can do things, what we think we’re capable of experiencing and what we think we can have.
One of the things I’ve seen with people is that when they change the way they think about their lives and the way they think about possibilities that could come to them, the way they think about what they’re available to do, what they’re capable of doing, then they start having other experiences in their lives.
How do you recognise a great idea? I experience a great idea internally is something that lights me up, makes me feel excited and helps me feel open. These are all energetic qualities. I associate those feelings as having that connection with a flow, which is the term I use when the energy is moving in a synchronous fashion, where things effortlessly work out, where you have an idea that flows to another idea. If you’re in touch with this kind of sensation, openness or inspiration when you have a great idea, with practice you can recognise it. When you feel that it’s one of the ways you know that there’s something in that idea which works, flows and it will take you to where you’re looking to go.
Being creative and idea-generating is an excellent way to problem solve because you’re in a solution-creation mindset. Which is expansive and resilient rather than limiting by complaining about problems and shutting them down. How can you get into that creative space? When you’re brainstorming your way out of a problem you have to release assigning blame, blaming shuts down creativity faster than any other behaviour. You need to just take responsibility and move on, don’t spend your time in negativity, it doesn’t open up ideas, operations or solutions. Move on from that by relaxing, you need to get out of a stress response in order for your brain to come up with creative solutions. Record your ideas and save them for later, don’t edit them just accept all of them, you can sort through them later. Take a moment to appreciate the process and what you’ve worked through, but then take action on your idea and see what happens.

BEST MOMENTS
“Creativity is a superpower and one that can really help us work our way out of getting stuck.”
“Going to museums, festivals or concerts is a great way to experience where people have taken their ideas and explored them.”
“Ideas that were developed by science fiction writers have been developed into actual technology that are used in daily life, like the Apple Watch which comes from Dick Tracey comic books or flip cell phones from Star Trek.”
“Trip planning is a whole experience unto itself and you have to be really creative sometimes to organise timetables and make everything work.”

The Power of Getting Unstuck

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about how you or someone you know can get unstuck or out of a ‘slow down’.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Through the pandemic I had a number of breakdowns and challenges, like everyone. I was out of work for about 6 months, which had never happened in my career. I had to learn to claim for benefits and when I did there was a computer error because the system crashed when I was applying which delayed the process by months. I was also single with no family around, so no emotional support, I had my kid part time and when I did have him I was frantically trying to home school him, like all the other parents out there. And I was trying to navigate his stress, my stress, all the stress while trying to stay in a good frame of mind. It was intense and scary. But I took baby steps to get unstuck.
Being stuck is a way of not moving forward in one or many areas of your life, especially if you want or need to move forward. Being stuck is connected to being afraid of what change would bring, some form of self-sabotage, and is a state that rarely gets us what we want in life. The fear of the unknown and the fear of success are often much more powerful than people realise, sometimes even more powerful than the fear of failure. Those fears are unconscious but they run your behaviour and cause negative feedback loops which keeps people stuck.
Everyone is where they are, wherever they are in life and until you learn a lesson, change what you’re doing or habits you’re always going to be in that negative state, until you’re not. Judging yourself for not doing what you’re supposed to do, or not taking action, or not moving forward, keeps you stuck. When you release the judgement you can start moving on to the next steps. Like making a list of the unknowns that would show up in your life if you got unstuck and address them. What would your life look like if you were to be successful and get to make the changes you want to make? How does it feel?
One of the biggest limitations to moving forwards is our own procrastination, our own blindness to do what needs to be done, or the fear that we have of hurting someone’s feelings. All of these behaviours are linked to self-sabotage. The saboteur is a part of our consciousness that somehow thinks that it’s winning or protecting us by sabotaging us, we have to teach that part of our consciousness that this is not true. Action is absolutely key – visualisation with no action is distraction. It’s not just knowing what your goals are, it's actually taking the steps to complete those goals and plugging those steps into your calendar and then actually doing those things.

BEST MOMENTS
“Just about everybody at some point in their life gets stuck.”
“We have a lot more resilience than we realise. Though you may not want to hear it when you’re, but it’s actually true.”
“The first thing to do to make a change in your life is to let go of self-judgement. Some people get addicted to that negative energy. Work on what you can do.”
“When you create time in your calendar to do the things you want to do, you’re a lot more likely to do them because you actually have the time to do them.”

The Power Of Milestones With Melissa Reaves

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this, the 50th episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast, Ariel is joined by returning guest, executive story-telling coach and author of the upcoming book, ‘The Storyteller’s Mind Movie’, Melissa Reaves to talk about how important it is to have milestone moments – like this one – and to celebrate them with story.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all have milestones, and they can little mini-milestones, but in storytelling we’re always looking for these “Aha, oh my god, I get it, the lesson has just reached me, I’m there!”, or that you’re not really sure what the message is yet but your know something major just happened. That can be a milestone and a springboard to you getting to the other side of your life. Some people say this chapter’s closing and new one’s beginning or In some cases a book is over and you’re writing a new book, like the moment I knew my marriage was over.
Notice the transformation in my story. As a storyteller, you want to have a story where at the beginning I’m happy, I’m thrilled, I’m having a great time. But, as the waves crashed against the beach and receded, that’s what happened with my marriage and that’s when I time travelled and brought us right back into the present tense. I slowed the pace right down because my life had gotten very scary and serious.
Your story of getting into podcasting is a story of inspiration. You kept saying “then I did this and this showed up and then I did that and I did this”. Meanwhile you’re pit-stopping and doing the research, but the research was inspired because it was guiding you because you knew deep down that you could do this and you wanted to do this. The universe brings it all in alignment for you.
I work with executives and business leaders and I teach them to find their story and how to tell it so that when they’re on a red dot with a microphone and they're giving a TedTalk, a keynote or a town hall and you want to inspire people, those come through stories. How do you tell a story so that people are leaning in and in their minds they have a movie playing. That’s why my book is called ‘The Storyteller’s Mind Movie’ because you are doing that, every time you get very specific I can’t help but see it in my head, every time you’re vague I can’t help but struggle and come up with my own characters – which isn’t bad – but I train people to be mind move makers deliberately.

BEST MOMENTS
“Divorce was the right thing because with marriages you either grow together or you grow apart.”
“All of a sudden I’m at another milestone, I just dropped off my youngest kid to college. I’m an empty nester and I don’t know what to do with it. I know it’s good because she’s thriving and that’s what I’m supposed to do as a parent, but I have a lot of time now – which is good because I’ve got my book projects.”
“You want to tell stories that are scars not wounds, especially in the realm I’m in professionally.”
“So many times people will have an idea and they’ll talk themselves out of it and not even explore it or give it a chance. If it comes to you and it feels good, it’s worth finding out what could happen.”

The Power Of Affirmations

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about how to make changes in your life and belief systems through the power of affirmations, and Ariel shares some of her favourites.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Affirmations are a tool a lot of people use to transform and expand consciousness or change results that they’re getting in their lives. They’re great and they can be extremely effective, but I want to tell you that when I first heard about affirmations, I thought they were just a story that people told themselves to make themselves feel better and that they were trite and silly and a new age way of making people buy cassettes. But I was so wrong.
Paradigm shifts, which are our belief systems, often occur in your subconscious. Your subconscious actions and thoughts make up most of your awareness, meaning that what you think you’re thinking is really only 7-13% of what you’re actually thinking. Your conscious mind is only 7-13%, the rest of it is subconscious. So much of what we think or believe about ourselves has been generated from experiences we’ve had in the past or things other people have told us in the past.
Affirmations are statements about how we experience reality. If we’re having a negative experience in life we can use affirmations aspirationally, and they may seem a bit bigger than us or fantastical or untrue, however, if we use them frequently – in sets of three 3-6 times a day – we literally start changing our thoughts, both conscious and subconscious.
I cannot underscore how important it is that your thoughts and words are creation devices. They send energy out into the universe, like orders at the universal restaurant. When you place that order, that thought and belief system behind that sends an energy frequency out into the universe which causes that energy vibration to come back to you at various speeds, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

BEST MOMENTS
“Something you heard 20 years ago could affect you now. A lot of stories or ways of being that you might have witnessed from your parents or authority figures in your past that you thought were the way things were could actually have been not helpful for you or not constructive.”
“First, I started noticing that when I was repeating them there was some negativity that was reduced and then I noticed there were results in my external life. Your thoughts actually cause and create external results.”
“Wherever your intention goes your energy flows.”
“Affirmations need to be in the present and they need to be positive.”

The Power Of Healing: Depression Edition

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about how to address depression and negative mood with holistic health tools, aromatherapy, reflexology and more.
www.nami.org
CDC Report Shows 5% Increase in Anxiety, Depressive Disorders During COVID Pandemic | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness
Call 988: if you are having suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis.
Gives a simplified overview of depression. https://www.adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/depression
Emotional Reflexology was created by Ariel F. Hubbard and Lynn Nelson in 2004.
Dr. Carolyn Mein's book is Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils. An excellent book on clearing negative emotions.
Disclaimer:
There are no claims made here that these tools cure depression, nor that they are a replacement for medical treatment! If you are concerned you have anxiety, make an appointment for a qualified medical professional to receive treatment.
To receive long-distance or in-person holistic health treatments addressing depression, contact Ariel to book an appointment. Text 971-319-2618.
Ariel's Suggestions for Self-Care for Symptoms of Depression:
Step A: First of all, make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D. I am not a nutritionist, but there are many articles out there sharing information on Vitamin D deficiency, especially during the fall and winter months.
Step B: Get enough exercise, which for most adults, is 5 sessions of exercise a week.
Step C: Get proper overall nutrition.
Step D: Consider using full-spectrum lighting for at least 15 minutes a day, especially in the fall and winter months.
Step E: Talk with friends or your therapist when you are having emotional challenges or negative thoughts.
And now to the protocol:
Step 1: Ground and Centre yourself.
Step 2: Rub your hands together to generate Chi and imagine you are also creating a Violet Flame between your hands. The Violet Flame will help you transmute any negative energy released into positive energy. Visualize using your hands to pass the Violet Flame from your head to your toes, imagining that it transmutes negative energy and clears you.
Step 3: Pass Rainbow Sparkly Light with your hands, moving from your head to your toes. This positive energy charges you with all needed color frequencies. Color therapy is a real modality--it has been used for hundreds of years to treat various health issues in hospitals and other environments. When you visualize color charging your body and energy system, it helps counteract the effects of having depression, which can be incredibly draining.
Step 4: Touch your "positive points" on your forehead between your eyebrows and hairline, and then tug the skin upward. This activates these neuro-emotional points to elevate mood.
Step 5: Consider using aromatherapy, especially oils in the citrus family like orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, neroli or bergamot or petitgrain (if you are not allergic), and mix one or more of them with clary sage, which has an elevating effect on the emotions.
Step 6: Tap your Elegant Mansion or K-27 points--these points are just on the outside of the sternum and below the collar bones in the chest. Tapping these points strengthens immune function and relieves breathing difficulties, chest congestion, asthma, coughing, anxiety, and depression.
Step 7: Think of whatever thoughts and feelings you need to release and let go of.
Breathe deeply and ground any of these thoughts or feelings you are releasing into the Earth.
Step 8: Hold your positive points again and say, "I move forward with ease and grace, I move forward with ease and grace, I move forward with ease and grace." Visualize yourself taking whatever your next step is--whether it is getting out of bed, having a conversation to clear up an issue, going to work out, or taking an action to resolve a challenge.
Step 9: Tap the outside edges of your hands together (the pinky side) and say, "Even though I am feeling this feeling, I completely love and accept myself, Even though I am feeling this feeling, I completely love and accept myself, Even though I am feeling this feeling, I completely love and accept myself."
Step 10: If you have lavendar essential oil, inhale it for at least 10 seconds. Then rub your hands together for at least 30 seconds to stimulate all of the reflex areas for your entire body. Say, "I learn from all of life's experiences.
Step 11: Walk in place for about 30 seconds, visualizing the relaxation and shifts in how you are feeling integrating into your energy anatomy system and physical body. Take time to notice how much better you feel!
KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are many types of depressive disorders, but the commonality of these disorders is that they share a sad, empty or irritable mood accompanied by somatic and cognitive changes that significantly affect the individual’s ability or capability to function
We all have days when we don’t want to get out of bed, that happens to everybody and those moods come on us for different reasons, but it usually relates to something significant. Some types of depression people don’t want to get out of bed at all for significant amounts of time, some types of people will be able to function but they’ll be in a low mood. They usually co-occur with anxiety disorders and substance abuse. Before depression is diagnosed it must be determined if the symptoms are causing significant impairment of a person’s normal functioning. There are five indicators that people suffer from for at least two weeks: despondent mood, loss of interest/pleasure in most activities, changes in appetite/weight/sleep patterns (too much or not enough), changes n psycho-motor activity (being agitated or movement and thinking is very slow), symptoms of fatigue or loss of energy, worthlessness or guilt, problems with thinking/concentrating/making decisions or making suicidal attempts as well as insomnia

BEST MOMENTS
“Anxiety and depression increased from 36.4% to 41.5% from August 2020 to February 2021.”
“There are drugs and medical conditions that cause depression, so you may not actually have depression, just suffering side-effects. You should definitely go get checked out if you’re concerned about it.”

The Power Of Healing: Anxiety Edition

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about how to address anxiety with aromatherapy and Ariel’s system of emotional reflexology, after last week’s episode with PJ Hanks,

www.nami.org

CDC Report Shows 5% Increase in Anxiety, Depressive Disorders During COVID Pandemic | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness

ADAA, Facts About Anxiety: https://whatisanxiety.adaa.org/?gclid=CjwKCAjwy_aUBhACEiwA2IHHQNrlcXhS4lO5BvYETV3swWBydM0bMbEKTMcWfkZ4CyIt75gi1lvMShoCDCYQAvD_BwE

Emotional Reflexology was created by Ariel F. Hubbard and Lynn Nelson in 2004.

Dr. Carolyn Mein's book is Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils. An excellent book on clearing negative emotions.

Disclaimer:

There are no claims made here that these tools cure anxiety, nor that they are a replacement for medical treatment! If you are concerned you have anxiety, make an appointment for a qualified medical professional to receive treatment.

To receive Emotional Reflexology treatments, contact Ariel to book an appointment.

Some essential oils that may be helpful to address some aspects of anxiety:

Anxiety - Joy (to elevate mood) Sedative oils: Lavender, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Rose, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang

Panic – Lavender (calming), Clary Sage (helps you let go of racing thoughts, Roman Chamomile (instils a feeling of well-being), Sweet Marjoram (to slow a racing heart and enhance bronchodilation)

Social Phobia – Neroli (to let go of the past)

Ariel's Emotional Reflexology Session for yourself:

Step 1:

Ground and Center yourself.

Step 2:

Rub your hands together to generate Chi and imagine you are also creating a Violet Flame between your hands. The Violet Flame will help you transmute any negative energy released into positive energy. Visualise using your hands to pass the Violet Flame from your head to your toes, imagining that it transmutes negative energy and clears you.

Step 3:

Pass Rainbow Sparkly Light with your hands, moving from your head to your toes. This positive energy charges you with all needed colour frequencies. Colour therapy is a real modality--it has been used for hundreds of years to treat various health issues in hospitals and other environments. When you visualise colour charging your body and energy system, it helps counteract the effects of having anxiety, which can be incredibly draining.

Step 4:

Take a spritzer bottle with 10 drops of myrrh oil (if you have it), and spray the middle of your hands. Massage this area, and say, "I am safe, I am safe, I am safe." Then massage and say, "Safe I am, safe I am, safe I am." This addresses adrenal stress.

Step 5:

Massage the midpoint of the forehead right at the hairline (about 2 inches above the Third Eye Chakra). This acupoint addresses acute anxiety.

Step 6:

Spray with White Angelica spritz and massage the Hundred Meeting Point (massage the location of the Crown Chakra) and say, "I am connected, I am connected, I am connected. Then say, "Connected I am, connected I am, connected I am." People with anxiety often close off their Crown and Upper Chakras and feel disconnected from Source. This Chakra also feeds energy to all other chakras in the body. This acupoint, the Hundred Meeting Point, is part of the Governing Vessel extraordinary meridian, which feeds energy to all of the other meridians in the body. The goal here is to become balanced!

Step 7:

Massage the thumbs and fingers with Peace and Calming essential oil blend. while saying or thinking the affirmation, “I am real.”This is to release victim consciousness and be self-responsible and empowered to make choices, which can be needed for people feeling trapped, unsafe or anxious.

Step 8:

Massage the middle of the palms again, while spraying a spritzer of Lavender essential oil, and say, “I learn from all of life’s experiences, I learn from all of life’s experiences, I learn from all of life’s experiences," and then, "From all of life's experiences I learn, from all of life's experiences I learn, from all of life's experiences I learn." This addresses stress, cramping, and tension in the abdominal region, which often manifests when people have anxiety.

Step 9:

Go to the K27 points in the upper chest, just at the indentation lateral to where the clavicle and the sternum meet. Tap or

make finger circles at the Elegant Mansion or K27 points. Working this area balances the overall energy in the body. These points strengthen immune function and relieve breathing difficulties, chest congestion, asthma, coughing, anxiety and depression.

Step 10:

Walk in place for about 30 seconds, visualising the relaxation and shifts in how you are feeling integrating into your energy anatomy system and physical body. Take time to notice how much better you feel!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People are constantly dealing with and addressing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Most of us have to deal with it on a daily basis or at least occasionally.
Anxiety symptoms often occur with depressive disorders – where people feel anxiety and depression at or around the same time – and they also often use substances to try to combat anxiety and depression. Most people often have more than one anxiety disorder simultaneously. Usually, if people have anxiety, it’ll show up before the age of 21 and about 8% of teenagers have anxiety disorders, though it may be higher than that, so keep an eye on your kids as well as yourselves.
Some of the signs of anxiety: Extreme muscle tension, panic attacks, tremors or difficulty speaking, social phobias, hyper-sensitivity – seeing threats in everyday life, self-medicating with alcohol, sedatives or drugs, difficulty determining between real or imagined danger.
Essential oils change the chemical levels in the limbic system – areas of the brain that stimulate emotional reactions to events. When you smell essential oils some of the molecules go up through your nose and are translated as signals that go up into your brain that affect how the brain responds to different events.

BEST MOMENTS

“During the Covid pandemic alone, anxiety and depression grew from 36.4% to 41.5%.”

“Anxiety can come from genetic factors, it can come from brain chemistry issues and it can also be caused by life events. Only about a third of the 40 million people in the US who have anxiety are actually receiving treatment.”

“There’s a difference between having anxiety and having an anxiety disorder. An anxiety disorder is a more chronic, serious state, and having anxiety is normal. Anxiety disorders are more serious and definitely need to be treated.”

“Reflexology is not a replacement for medical treatment but some of it will address the symptoms, feelings or energetic imbalances that we have when we’re experiencing anxiety.”

The Empowered Woman's Guide to Online Dating: Set Your BS Tolerance to Zero

PJ Hanks: The Power of Breaking Through Resistance

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by PJ Hanks, business leader and entrepreneur, about the power of breaking through resistance and loving yourself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

My background was in adult education: software training. Except for a few years here and there, working for friends in their businesses, I’ve always worked running my own business. The last 12 years I’ve been a health and wellbeing coach as well as a business coach for others doing the same thing. I’ve spent 12 years as a volunteer working with women who’ve had loved ones in addiction. So, I’ve had a few decades under my belt to help a lot of people, especially women, find hope and solutions for a lot of the things we all struggle with so much, that’s where my real passion is in helping people find that hope.
A lot of how we talk to ourselves is very negative, we don’t use the power of our brain – or we let our brain take control. We have up to 1,000-5,000 negative thoughts before we’ve brushed our teeth: ‘I can’t make it through the day’, ‘I look terrible in that outfit’, ‘my eyes look puffy’. Every time we think a negative thing our brain reinforces it, because that’s how it protects us. But, if we can flip that thinking the brain is powerful enough to do that. Instead of thinking how tired you are (and the brain will look for reasons to back up why you feel tired), try waking up and saying ‘how do I want to feel today? Energised, or OK even though I made mistakes yesterday’. The minute we flip to the positive the brain will start attracting positive thinking.
I’m a big fan of Noah St John, who uses affirmations. But if I stand in front of the mirror saying I look beautiful there are all those feelings saying ‘that’s not what you really think’. What St John says is flip things to questions because then the brain will start looking to prove to you why. So, say ‘why am I so beautiful?’
When there’s really harsh days and you’re feeling really down on yourself, reach out to a friend. Hopefully you all have a friend that gets you, will let you cry, who will say ‘it’s OK, it’s going to be alright’. I have a box by my desk where I print off and post emails or messages that are positive about me. I'll reach into that box and read a few to remind myself that I am capable or I can work through things, I can help people.

BEST MOMENTS

“My ‘What’s Next’, or ‘5 Minute’ Principle is whenever someone is in a state of life where everything is so overwhelming, you get frozen and we all have our own ways of trying to cope, but we don’t look at what’s freezing us and how can we do something? Just think ‘what’s next?’, even if it’s just sitting up, then what’s next? Going to the bathroom, what’s next? Brush your teeth. Sometimes that’s enough success for one day.”

“The power of aroma, like smelling coffee brewing in the kitchen, is enough to get them out of bed. For others, the smell of aromatherapy oils will stimulate the brain in the same way.”

“Music is very powerful, I have different kinds of playlists, like epic music for when I want to get things done.”

“Expressing gratitude to other people raises our vibrational frequencies, and sends a note of positivity to someone you know.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

PJ Hanks: There was a time in my life when I had lost hope for good health, healthy and happy children, and the possibility of financial security. After prayerful searching, I found hope.

It then became my passion to help others find hope. I have spent most of my professional and volunteer career helping women find hope, discover solutions and achieve their goals. It is my experience that 8 out 10 people wish their health was better, they could control their emotions better, or would like to have more money. I get out of bed every day excited to help you find answers to these three things.

My name is PJ Hanks and my husband, Cliff, and I live in Carnation, WA—a small town about 45 minutes east of Seattle. During our 33 years of marriage, we have raised three kids, built successful home-based businesses and served countless hours in our church and community.

Not everything has been perfect though. Our family had many health problems. We struggled with making enough money. All the stress pressured our relationships. Out of a determination for a better life, I discovered the tools and solutions we needed to improve our health, income, and strengthen our relationships. Now, I love sharing those tools and solutions with everyone who needs and wants them.

Most of my adult life I have coached individuals to not just cope with their challenges but find hope and solutions. My extensive study of health and wellness has not only benefited my family, but many others that I worked with. I would be honoured to support you in achieving your goals and aspirations so that you can have a fulfilled, powerful, and extraordinary life.

Cindy Kamrin: The Power Of Resilience

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel is joined by Cindy Kamrin, an amazing woman with decades of experience in entrepreneurship and leadership, teaching us about the power of resistance.

Cindy mentioned the wisdom from the books Love, Medicine and Miracles, Bernie Segal and Illusions by Richard Bach: "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the butterfly calls the beginning."

Jim Roan: "You only grow to the extent of your personal development."

Cindy has taken transformational courses like the Forum with Landmark Education and PSI courses through Psi World and has studied with Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra.

Accept that you are human, and, "Now what?"

"Dream big, act small."

"Don't accept where you are if you don't like it."

"What don't I like; what do I want?"

"Find the people who have done what you want to do and follow them; ask them questions." – Tony Robbins

"You are okay. Relax. You will find a way. You are strong and resilient and life will work out. Life may not look the way you thought we wanted, but it could be better."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I’m at a stage in my life where I’m living beyond my wildest dreams. I’m financially whole, I’m healthy in body, mind and spirit, I’m at peace, and I’m grateful for all the challenges and the blessings that have been bestowed upon me. When I was 55 – which is 21 years ago – I found myself really scared, I was broke, I was broken, I couldn’t sleep at night because the company I’d been with for 9 years was falling apart. I honestly didn’t know how I was going to survive. I realized I wanted to become a healthy and wealthy woman, so I searched and found a company I could believe in, but starting over at 55 wasn’t easy.
In 1992 I got breast cancer and I got scared. But then I looked at who else had something like this. At that time there were only books and tapes available, so I went right to Barnes & Noble and bought a book called Love, Medicine and Miracles. He said to me: “Cindy, cancer is not a death sentence and, you’re not going to believe this but, it’s going to be your biggest gift.” I read a lot of books by people who had survived cancer and I really had to dig deep to see what I could do to overcome the situation.
I think you have to know where you are. Look at the awful condition you’re actually in rather than living by pretty words and non-existent ideals. I write down all the things I don’t like about my life and then I take a pencil and a piece of paper and I draw a line down the middle, then I write what I really want and create an intention around specific areas. I always visualize the perfect end result: Where do I want to be, and then I take action. I don’t accept life the way it shows up, I always want to make it better.
I have a motto that I know I stole from somebody: Dream big, act small. People get bored with the small, consistent actions we need to take to get there, I love the process and I’m grateful for the challenges that life has given me because that has made me strong and resilient.

BEST MOMENTS

“You may have fears and doubts, we all live with them, but I just said despite my fear I had to take the actions I needed.”

“I wasn’t an overnight success, but I knew where I needed to go and it took me three years to go from broke to having a six-figure income.”

“You’ve got to do personal development: You only grow to the extent of your personal development. I’m 76 but my goal is to be healthy to 100.”

“I make myself wrong but then I forgive myself and I accept that I’m human. Now what?”

Cindy Kamrin has been an entrepreneur empowering people to achieve their goals in home-based businesses for over 40 years. She has also actively been on a path of personal growth and development for decades.

The Power of Computer Mastery

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about how to deal with the insanity of computer challenges and how to take back our power from being overwhelmed by tech.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever gone a day, or two, or three without the internet these days? How about going without a computer at all? This was my challenge this week: I had to delay getting a new computer because I needed to get this podcast done, but how do you do it if you don’t have a computer to work with?
It used to be easy to walk into a store and if the thing was broken you could get a new one. That’s not how it works these days. You have to make a shopping appointment, then you have to go to the appointment which is online on Microsoft Teams – and if you don’t have Teams on your computer it’s a pain to set up, it’s easier to go into Teams on your phone. I order my new computer, I wait, I get in the mail, I set it up (which wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be), I’m all excited and I’m ready to roll… then I find out the lens for the rear camera is broken. I was really upset, so I meditated and tried to control my negative emotions because I knew that trying to get this fixed was going to be a massive time-suck, and we can’t afford time-sucks in our lives.
Make an appointment with the people you bought your computer from and ask for help. Follow their instructions because they know what they’re doing. If you get upset about the situation, try to ground yourself energetically, connect with the Earth’s energy, discharge all the anger and frustration into the Earth and ask that it’s being transmuted into positive energy as you release it. Take some deep breaths and remind yourself that this too shall pass. Negative energy isn’t helpful and won’t help you problem-solve. If the computer’s broken out of the box – even if you have a warranty – return it and then buy a replacement via the returns page, not the devices page. Claims are considered a repair and they charge you for that and they will often send you a refurbished one, not a new one.
Sign out of your cloud so that your saved files can’t be accessed after you return it. You also need to wipe all the files you’ve downloaded or saved onto your computer.

BEST MOMENTS

“What’s a network card adapter, I hear you ask. It’s that pesky software that enables you to get on the internet, and if it goes down, do you know what you can get done on a computer? Nothing these days.”

“Everything that I do is connected to the internet.”

“Tell them your appointment is about buying news accessories – they won’t let you on if you say it’s a refund – then ask them questions about how to solve the problem.”

“Electronics break. When you buy a new electronic device, get the warranty..”

The Power of Choice

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about the power of choice and how shifting our perception can shift our results. She also gives you tools and ideas for how to do this.

Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on 6/24/22 overturning Roe v. Wade and ending 50 years of a woman's right to decide if she wants an abortion or not.

The Supreme Court decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf

"When a door closes, a window opens." Paraphrased from Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone.

“Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you.” John C. Maxwell From < https://thegoalchaser.com/quotes-about-making-choices/ >

"People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan." John J. Beckley

The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

, by Malcolm Gladwell.

"Revisionist History," Malcolm Gladwell's podcast

"The Art of Self-Reinvention"on The Chase Jarvis Live Show, The ability to choose what you want to be in this world, an interview with Malcolm Gladwell and they also discuss Paul Simon (Miracle and Wonder)

Malcolm Gladwell: The Art of Self-Reinvention

Magical thinking: When we associate two totally different things because we think they have something in common, like Jay likes basketball and Maria likes basketball, so Jay and Maria are destined to fall in love. It can sound a bit outrageous or silly when said out loud.

Reframing: Reframing is an act using the Power of Choice to relate to an experience and take back our power, boost self-esteem, and release loss and humiliation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We need to talk about the power of choice and how it’s being stripped away from women, from the recent Supreme Court decision of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organisation and how it’s taking away women’s power of choice over their bodies. If you don’t like this, you can make a difference by voting in the elections this fall. Your choice this fall will affect women for decades to come, voting is important.
A long time ago, when I was experiencing something really negative in my life, the guidance I was getting when I was meditating was: If you don’t like the choices you’ve made and the results from those choices, choose something else. I use that wisdom a lot. We don’t have to judge ourselves for bad choices, we can just recognise the patterns that went into making those, acknowledge them and move on to something else.
Good choices usually come from or create positive habits that generate the kind of results we’re looking for. Some good choices that people talk about with me are positive self-care habits, active care and attention to people they care about, an engaged and positive relationship with money, an active spiritual life, having a purpose, being consistently creative, taking action when something is not working and a loving and positive relationship with self – that’s really important.

BEST MOMENTS

“Sometimes we learn quite a bit by experiencing things we don’t want, sometimes this lets us gain clarity about what we do want.”

“When we don’t plan, we don’t have an outcome or a path chosen for our life, we’re not living a purpose driven life and we usually don’t experience as much happiness. Planning is really important.”

“Can we use the power of choice to change how we experience and perceive the past and how we experience and perceive negative experiences? We can clear the impact of prior hurt and pain and our reactions to it by shifting how we think and feel about it and how our brain makes associations about the past.”

“Over time, when we make good choices – choosing positive habits – and we apply those habits consistently over time, we create positive results.”

Melissa Reaves: The Power of Story

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Melissa Reaves, an executive storytelling coach, to talk about how stories can change lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Human beings are story telling machines. Everyone tells stories and have done since the times we lived in caves. Dating stories, family stories, in business – vision stories and case stories/studies. What I try to do is help people become “mind movie makers” because someone who really studies this craft can really ignite a lot of emotions inside the listener’s head. Anyone can do it, but some of us have never been taught. I teach you how you can find your stories and then craft them so that they’re really well laid-out with a nice arc. There's tension, you have your “ah-ha” moments and the listener goes on a journey with you.
All you see over and over again in angel investment meetings is a slideshow with graphs and charts saying: “the problem”, and then more graphs and charts saying: “the Solution”. It’s not emotional, I can’t get excited about it. As an investor, there’s a science and an art to starting a company. What I started to realise was that if you start with the story of a person having the problem, you come in as the hero. I spend most of my day helping companies get ready to do their investor pitches to find that story.
Every story is a movie and we storyboard it like a movie, it has an opening scene and we title it, the second scene we title it, and the third scene etc. You know where you’re going so you’re not meandering or droning on and on and getting your audience frustrated and confused. These stories are well crafted but you want to tell them naturally, you don’t want to sound canned or be too big or too monotone. The way you use your voice, the way you use pausing, balancing seriousness with humour, senses – making sure that people can see it, taste it, touch it, smell it, feel it, those are deliberate choices by the presenter/storyteller.
I’m not a therapist, but I have found that the self-narrative that people hold can sometimes be healed during some of the sessions that I’ve worked on. I’ve seen some breakthroughs from clients on some moments, and these are business clients.

BEST MOMENTS

“If you start with an emotional story we’re hooked. You want them to remember the story, that’s why they’re imperative and the way you tell stories is an essential business skill.”

“I always try to find personal stories as well as business stories because people want to get to know the storyteller. Every story you tell needs to have ‘and this is what I walked away with and I’m giving to you’.”

“Your listeners need to relate to you, see the story, be entertained, educated and the key thing: Not bored.”

“Storytelling allows the listener to step into the shoes of someone else. With a really well told story, their hearts can open and they can think about maybe some of the self-narratives that were infused into their own heads growing up and maybe they weren’t so true.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Melissa Reaves is a professional and award-winning storyteller and storytelling coach to executives. Her sales and marketing background includes more than 20 years in technology enterprise sales, as well as countless stage credits as a professional actor/improviser. This combination of sales, marketing, acting, writing, directing and producing storytelling shows, ultimately led her to found Story Fruition to help others find and tell their stories--with impact.

Melissa works with CEOs, Founders and Senior Executives to build their storytelling skills and enrich their leadership.

Beverley Giroud: The Power of Transition

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Beverley Giroud, a professional educator, licenced massage therapist, personal trainer and life coach, about the power of transition. If you’re transitioning, or know someone who is, listen on, some great ideas are discussed on this episode.

What Color is Your Parachute: Your Guide to a Lifetime of Meaningful Work and Career Success by Richard Bolles. This book is updated often and has excellent tools and exercises to help you understand your work and life skills and how to apply them in a different career to make decisions regarding transition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I planned. I had a job as an administrator for an excellent massage therapy school and during the course of the time I was there I was planning for a time when I would leave. I didn’t know wen that was going to be, here I am being thankful that I planned. Life coaching training was something I did during covid because he school was down for he most part, I didn’t want to get to the end of 2020-2021 with nothing to show for myself.
Teaching adults is fun and challenging and I felt I wanted to be better at navigating challenging situations, be better, more prepared and more helpful to my staff, students and clients. It was supposed to support my job and eventually I’d come home and have my own practice, but that’s what I’m doing now!
When I cleared all this stuff out of my life, the things that I wanted – namely a special relationship – showed up. And I was available and ready to go and it’s been great.
In the end, the theme I found underneath everything is the same theme that has been my issue and challenge for life is about picking the right relationships, picking healthy relationships, relationships that are healthy for me, picking relationships where I feel respected, where I am respected, where I’m valued and not choosing relationships that are the opposite of that. Not just romantic but professional. So, I left that last job/unhealthy relationship I’d been in for 10 years, that was an amazing job and in some respects my dream job. I couldn’t do without that experience, because I learned so much, but growing up and going through life coaching school and getting more clear about myself I knew I needed to make a transition.

BEST MOMENTS

“Life coaching was always supposed to be an enhancement to my social skills with people, leadership skills and being able to educate and help.”

“With this transition I’d say I’m slowing down a bit. I’m 60, I’m not done yet, but I’m finding success in areas of my life that I wasn’t paying attention to. I keep having to remind myself to look at what I’m doing now that I could never have done before, the relationships that’d I’d never have had, travelling. I’m happier than I’ve ever been, but I think ‘is that alright?’ because I’m not overachieving.”

“I’m very present, there are no other channels running in the background when I’m with someone. Being present is how I find my joy.”

“If it feels big and more than you’re able to manage, find a life coach. I’ve had one for many years and that’s how I was inspired to go to school. Trust your intuition but make sure you’re not consufusion fear with your intuition, because we often do that.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Beverley Giroud serves as the Director of Education for CRSMT (Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy).

The Power of Exercise

Sun, 10 Jul 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about clearing self-sabotage to reap the benefits of one of the most amazing ways to help us prevent stress, anxiety, depression and frustration: The power of exercise.

Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, Second Edition: https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-09/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Today, about half of American adults – around 117 million people – have one or more preventable, chronic diseases. Seven of the 10 most common chronic diseases are favourably influenced by regular physical activity, yet nearly 80% of adults are not meeting the key guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity, while only half meet the key guidelines for aerobic physical activity.
Nobody’s perfect, but you should know what the recommendations are: Adults should do at least 2.5-5 hours a week of moderate intensity exercise, or an hour and 15 minutes-2 hours of aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous intensity aerobic activity. Preferably, you should spread that throughout the week. Muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity, that involve all major muscle groups, should also be done on 2 or more days a week. Kids and teens should get 60 minute a day of mild to vigorous activity.
The choices we make are often not conscious, so while we think we don’t have enough time to exercise, we might actually have a belief that if we take the time to exercise we won’t have the time to do something else. Or that other people’s needs matter more than our own, or we might our appearance now and we might be embarrassed to be in front of other people working out. Patterns of self-sabotage and procrastination come up more around exercise than around any other goal that people have.
Some people have really high expectations like radically changing their appearance. Radical weight-loss, for example, is not necessarily a good thing. You need to maintain the changes that you get over a long period of time rather than yo-yo between sudden weight loss and gain, it’s not good for your metabolism. Maintain consistent slow changes over time.

BEST MOMENTS

“Lack of physical activity is linked to approximately $117 billion in annual healthcare costs and about 10% of premature mortality.”

“Exercise has so many benefits: Lowering cortisol levels (stress hormones), improving quality sleep, elevating your mood, enhancing mental clarity, improving a sense of confidence, opening your range of motion and flexibility and improved self-esteem/self-confidence, experiencing a community with other people that exercise as well and a feeling of openness and greater possibilities.”

“Why aren’t people working out more?”

“You can’t force yourself to work out with negative judgement. But laughing at certain embarrassments we have can help us shift into a different headspace so we can continue on.”

Alannah Mae: The Power of Spiritual Transformation

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Alannah Mae, a spiritual activist and liberation coach who has an incredible story to share about the power of spiritual transformation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Spiritual activism is my way of saying I’ll fight for your spirituality. I really am into everyone having their own conception, their own connection to god – whatever that looks like. I study a number of modalities, I pull from everywhere, but mostly I allow my clients to acquire faith based on experience. We look for the sacred and where god shows up in our lives every day and over time that becomes the foundation of an unshakable faith.
We’re taught that we need to be attractive to survive, so we can find a mate to provide and we’re still living out this patriarchal paradigm. We feel like we’ve come a log way but that’s still in us because we’re taught that at a very young age through society and media that both play on it because they’re making a lot of money off of us feeling not good enough.
When Ariel and I met I had no idea what an impact was, what being highly sensitive was, what having psychic gifts was, I was just poorly muddling my way through life like so many of us do without any knowledge and guidance. When I met Ariel if was a relief to find out there was nothing wrong with me and this is how you can control it and protect yourself. It was the start of my journey and changed my life forever.
One day I was sitting in my room, getting high, and it just occurred to me that this was not the way to honour my mum. Because I had the foundations that you’d given me, I prayed every day for a few months and wrote “I will surrender to the divine’s will for me”. A few months later I went to rehab and that was me starting the journey of my treating my alcoholism. That was 6 years ago and I still pull a lot from the 12 step because it works. One of the great things about the 12 steps is that you help others, it’s an altruistic movement.

BEST MOMENTS

“Body image is the hardest thing I’ve had to overcome, and I’ve overcome heroin addiction, cigarettes, depression and anxiety. Every lady I’ve spoken to had body image issues no matter what they look like.”

“There are four pillars to radical self-love, in the journey from self-loathing to self-acceptance: honesty, acceptance, compassion and forgiveness, and self-responsibility.”

“Once I realised, as a soul, that I was chose my life the anger started leaving because it wasn’t just pointless chaos and horrible stuff, there was a reason behind this, that’s that radical self-responsibility – I chose that and I now choose everything in my life.”

The Power of Situational Awareness

Sun, 19 Jun 2022 23:00:00 -0000

"Situational awareness is being aware of what is happening around you in terms of where you are, where you are supposed to be, and whether anyone or anything around you is a threat to your health and safety."

www.torchstoneglobal.com

More info on Situational Awareness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation_awareness

Patriot Front men arrested in Idaho: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/06/white-supremacists-pride-event-arrested-in-idaho

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are a lot of things going on right now in the world and we need to pay attention to them, whether its if someone might have a gun around you or if someone is masking or not masking in a situation where there is a high level of covid, or in a social situation where you could potentially experience a threat to your safety.
There are four levels of situational awareness that people talk about: Being too now and not paying attention, being on high alert where there’s a confirmed threat and you have to act and focussed awareness which is carefully observing a potential threat and then there’s relaxed awareness which is enjoying life while paying attention. The goal is to live in relaxed awareness.
Be grounded. This is an energy thing, where you take the energy from your soul and have it all through your body. You’re aware of your feet, legs, torso, arms, neck, head, everything, you’re in yourself.
Unfortunately common sense is no longer common for many people, so you’re going to have to use yours when other people are not using theirs. Think about what the likelihood of the outcome of the actions of people will be. That will help you figure out what you’re going to do in order to avoid a negative possible outcome.

BEST MOMENTS

“Usually I’m an extremely positive person and I’m focussed on that, but it is something that we need to be aware of, when things around us are not going the way they could or should be from a safety perspective.”

“Situational awareness has been recognised as a critical yet often elusive foundation for successful decision making across a broad range of situations, many of which involve the protection of human life and property.”

“If you see something say something, that’s an example of exercising situational awareness.”

“You need to pay attention to who’s physically around you and if they could be watching you and where they’re headed – especially on the road, so you make sure they’re not going to drive into the space you’re heading into.”

The Power of Fun

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about the power of fun and how and why fun is essential, especially in times of high stress and how it can add a lot of value to your life as an adult.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I’ve found a lot of ways to have fun in a lot of really unusual environments and situations. Through the successes that I’ve experienced as a result of having fun, I realised something really important, which is we all need something to look forward to and we all need fun in our lives.
During the pandemic we’ve been deprived of fun for years and our cognitive load has consumed us with home-schooling, working from home in crowded spaces, dealing with financial stress and trying not to lose our minds. We are fun deficient and we need to correct this state as soon as possible.
Adult play is a time to forget about work and commitments and to be social in an unstructured, creative way. Fun can add joy to life. It reduces stress, it superchargers learning and it connects you to others and the world around you. Play and fun can make work more productive and pleasurable.
Make a list of fun things you like to do, start with things you can do in a short time frame (2-3 hours) so you can’t say no to yourself, that you don’t have enough time. This could be dancing, doing the crossword, art, private time with people you care about or to a festival/concert. Mid-level goals where you need to plan or schedule, like a party with friends or you need to travel, what kind of short trips have you imagined doing or have put off. One of the things we’ve learned during the pandemic is that life’s too short. Find a way to make that trip/class/event happen. Then there are the crazy goals, somewhere that’s expensive or needs a lot of planning ahead and saving. Put it on your calendar for a years’ time and start saving and planning towards it.

BEST MOMENTS

“The inner child needs fun to enjoy life, to feel inspired, be creative and solve problems.”

“The inner child, I’ve discovered, is the gatekeeper of lifeforce energy in the body. If people’s inner child is not happy they have low energy, they feel depressed, they’re not creative, they’re not good at problem solving and they’re not fun to be around.”

“Fun helps us gain a new perspective, get new ideas, connect with other parts of our psyche besides just the part of us that does work and fulfils commitments, duties and obligations. It makes life feel worth living again sometimes and makes us better to be around.”

“When you know you’re going to do something fun it lightens up your whole mindset, your thoughts and feelings. A lot of the hard stuff you’re dealing with now feels easier, lighter and freer when you have something to look forward to.”

The Power of Releasing Guilt

Sun, 29 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about the power of releasing guilt, learning how to gain more energy and light in your life by letting go.

Power Versus Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour, Dr David R. Hawkins, p 69 is the Map of Consciousness chart referred to in the show.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As we’re in a holiday weekend in several parts of the world, a lot of us are taking time to rest and relax or think about people who have come before us and the sacrifices and gifts they have given. This can bring up guilt for people. Over my career I have seen thousands of people suffer from guilt, it’s a time and energy drain and it comes up daily as an issue for people.
The Map of Consciousness scale maps human emotions from 0-1000. They’re measurements of how we experience life, what kinds of thoughts, feelings and beliefs we have, what attractor patterns we emanate that cause different states, people and experiences to come to us. Guilt rates are pretty low, love is 500, joy is 540, peace and enlightenment 700-1000, guilt 30, shame 20, even anger rates at 150, which is much higher than guilt or shame.”
Any type of emotion we are feeling is a form of energetic and physical investment in that emotion, so it’s really important for you to learn how to regulate what you’re feeling. You can have emotions come up but that doesn’t mean you have to react to them. Sometimes those reactions can create trouble for you or they can create unintended consequences.
It’s not OK to feel guilty all the time. You’re going to have to let that go. You make more of a difference in the world when you’re doing well and bring a positive presence and attitude to any situation. Joy has a vibrational frequency of 540, which is a heck of a lot higher than 30. Just let it go.

BEST MOMENTS

“Guilt always makes things feel smothering, heavy, dark. It often manifests as a helmet or a hood around someone’s head.”

“Guilt is a universal emotion, I’ve seen people feel guilty for a million reasons and some of them are rather trivial if you think about it.”

“Guilt is so pervasive, it’s everywhere.”

“Ask yourself: What kind of joy, alive-ness, energy, resilience or happiness could you get back in your life if you ended the habit of feeling guilty. It’s a habit – something you choose to do, whether you’re conscious of it or not, you’re choosing to feel that way. Is it worth it? Wouldn’t you rather feel happy than sad?”

Adrienne Byrd: The Power of Planning For Senior Living

Sun, 22 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Adrienne Byrd, Senior Living Consultant from A Right Place For Seniors, to talk about planning for senior living and feeling empowered when you or someone you know is looking to make a living transition in their senior years gracefully while taking the burden off their family and friends.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We offer free senior housing location referral services for seniors and their families. It’s a hands-on approach and we walk the entire journey from start to beyond finish with tailored options for suitable homes for their loved one. The way we’re compensated is if the family decides they’re going to go with one of the communities that we have toured with them and have a referral contract with, that community will give us a one-time ‘thank you’, but the family gives us absolutely nothing.
This is a perfect blend of some passions I have and some skills that I’ve gained and mastered over the years through my prior profession when I was in education. I worked with all levels of students from pre-school to post-high school as a school psychologist. I’m a person who loves service in general for people and when I heard about a job as a senior living consultant I was immediately drawn to it because I also have background of serving seniors in homecare services as a side job, also my grandmother lived with us while I was in graduate school, she developed dementia, so I had to go through the process of finding assisted living for her.
If it were my family, I’d want to know what I’m recommending to someone to go to, so I go ahead and tour the place, meet the people that work there and do all that legwork for the family ahead of time.
Many people, when they think of a senior community, see a stale and sterile nursing home which didn’t feel fresh or invigorating. It’s worth looking into the options that are out there today because they can be quite lovely, comprehensive in the services they offer and inviting. There are many types of communities that represent the different levels of care.

BEST MOMENTS

“We ask the family what they’re looking for, how close they want to be to their central desired location and their needs; their activity preferences, the levels of care and support, the different types of activities and daily living that they’ll need assistance with. We tailor the options we present to the families based on all the information we gather through that intake assessment.”

“I wish I knew this job existed when my family was going through this same process.”

“I love real estate, so it’s fun to visit these senior communities, there are some beautiful places out there, let me tell you!”

“It’s best not to wait until there’s a crisis. It’s best to go when you still have the ability to make choices and see it for yourself, to find what’s a good fit for you and not have to find something in a hurry and properly research it.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

With a Right Place for Seniors, Adrienne Byrd helps families and seniors find suitable care and housing for seniors. She comes from a background of 12 years in the field of education as a School Psychologist, all while maintaining a passion for serving and supporting seniors as well. Some of Adrienne hopes to provide families and seniors comfort by taking the stress out of finding the right place to call home.

The Power of Tarot

Sun, 15 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode Ariel talks about the power of tarot, its history and how the divination technique works.

This article details the creation of the art of the Rider-Waite deck, an influential deck in the early 20th century that was actually designed by a woman, Pamela Colman Smith, who got no credit for her work.

"Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O'Keeffe and Louise Nevelson." This show at the Whitney Museum is curated by Barbara Haskell. She was interviewed and quoted for the article quoted, below.

"Tarot has been around since early 15th-century Italy, spun off from traditional playing cards. The 78 cards are split into two groups called the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana features allegorical characters like the moon, sun, the fool and the lovers, while the Minor Arcana is divided into numbered and face cards in four suits: wands, swords, cups and pentacles. While prior decks were less pictorial in nature, Smith's is filled with lush imagery that makes their interpretation easier for the reader."

Information from Ariel Hubbard's Handout for her Introduction to Tarot Part One Class.

You may take this class directly with Ariel on Zoom or in person. Reach out to enroll.

Divination is an art, not a science. It also takes time to develop your ability to be divine. These cards empower your ability to intuitively sense the flow of energetic, spiritual, physical, emotional and archetypal influences in your life, and how they have manifested in your past, present or future. If you work with these cards regularly, their energy as well as the practice will assist you.
It is important to clear the cards before and after each reading. Use the Violet Flame, Reiki, prayer, White Light, crystals, or any other preferred method.
Set your intention before each reading, or portion of a reading. “Please let the cards tell us what we need to know in this situation, for the Highest Good for All.” Or, “Please give us insight into the people involved in this situation (name the situation.)” Or, “Where is this situation taking us?” Be as specific as you can. “Please tell us what we most need to know.”
You can set the cards in specific locations to do a reading, and then you can also change their locations as you discuss options or suggestions to help a client address issues associated with a situation. This shifts energy when you do this.
Remember that if you are doing a reading for yourself and you are attached to the outcome, it is important to do your best to release the attachment or have someone else do a reading for you so the information can be clear.
Avoid doing readings if you are not clear energetically or emotionally.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The art of the Tarot cards was done by a woman, Pamela Coleman Smith, who had synesthesia, which is a neurological condition that causes the person to see shapes and colours when they hear sounds. The art itself is from the symbolist tradition, influenced by English artist Aubrey Beardsley and the Pre-Raphaelites.
They work with archetypes which all people can relate to, all of your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, influences and beliefs exist as energy patterns in your auric field. As you move through your life, the universe scans your energy and it knows what you’re thinking, feeling, believing, what you think is true, what’s coming to you, all of those things. It reads those energies so that when you hold a clear deck of tarot cards and you set the intention “please let me know what I need to for my highest good” your energies are read, and it selects the information that you need to know and shows you pictures of what’s happening using the images on the cards.
You may not always understand what the cards are saying, you may have to let it settle in, sometimes you need have to let yourself know what it means a week later, because it could be reading what’s coming to you along your timeline, like a psychic, or what has come to you, or what you’re experiencing right now.
People can have thoughts, beliefs, emotions, perceptions and then when they alter and change them, they can get a totally different result in their external life. That’s why a lot of people talk about using affirmations and changing your thoughts and belief systems to create or manifest different results in your life. It’s different from magical thinking.

BEST MOMENTS

“People who have lived with Christian influences are often told that divination, which is thousands of years old, is influenced by negative energies. That’s not true if you set the correct intention.”

“Tarot cards can read events from your past, your present and your future provided that that’s what you set the intention for.”

“It’s important to work with a skilled practitioner who’s energetically clear themselves. You can read the cards yourself, but you need to be unattached to the outcome to get more accurate information.”

“Divination is an art not a science, obviously. It takes a long time to develop your divine ability to divine.”

The Power of Women’s Rights

Sun, 08 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of women’s rights, after the leak of an impending Supreme Court decision on the Row vs Wade case. Your rights have been hard won and you could lose them. What can you do about it?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

All women in the United States, and all over the world, need to know that their ability to make decisions for their lives are being eroded, and it’s a significant threat. Normally I don’t talk about negative things like this, but you do need to know that this issue and what you do now and in the next six months, before and at the mid-term elections, is going to make a huge difference for women for years or even decades to come.
Row vs Wade became law in 1973, this was a court case which gave women a higher access to deciding what was happening with her body than the State’s ability to decide what was happening with her body when she was pregnant.
According to studies, women don’t feel like they have equal opportunities, access to leadership, they feel like they’re not taken as seriously and a lot of times they don’t get access to higher paid jobs, the glass ceiling is real in a lot of professions.
One in three female rape victims recorded experienced rape for the first time between the ages of 11-17 years old and one in eight before the age of 10. If you think about it, 20% of women have experienced sexual violence, it’s terrifying.

BEST MOMENTS

“This episode is not about politics, it’s about rights. There’s a difference.”

“There’s a drop in men getting education, and it’s a serious issue.”

“The covid pandemic set women back 30 years because some left their jobs to look after their kids and some of them aren’t going to go back.”

Tawny Sanabria: The Power of Being Present

Sun, 01 May 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode, Ariel is joined by Marriage and Family Therapist and certified Human Potential Coach, Tawny Sanabria, to talk about the importance of managing stress by being present

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Being present is a state of being where we’re in the body right now and we’re not being consumed by our thoughts about the past or the future and getting worked up about all those things. It’s an embodied physical state that allows us to increase a safety feeling/sensation in the body.
If I can help my clients be in their body in such a way that they know they can handle Whatever is coming their way, they know how to get into their safety system, they know how to decrease their stress, they know how to use their energy management system in such a way that they can renew, recharge when they need, and they’re doing all this with awareness and a state of presence, then they get to grow into their life and engage in ways that create more joy and ease for them.
Anxiety doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We’ve made it a bad thing, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be a signal that there’s an unmet need, and if we just push the anxiety away and try to move it out or distract ourselves from it we’re not going to learn from it.

BEST MOMENTS

“Young kids need to be face-to-face and in physical presence with the people they work with.”

“I transitioned to virtual therapy sessions in January 2019 because I was sitting all day long in my commute, in my clinic and I couldn’t do it anymore. So, I was ready for this pandemic when it hit!”

“Being present is a practice, like brushing your teeth.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Tawny Sanabria has been helping people experiencing many forms of stress, anxiety, and disconnection for over 20 years. Her experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, Yoga Teacher, and Human Potential Coach has allowed her to help her clients reconnect to their bodies and become more present in their lives. She currently coaches individuals, couples and groups to recenter, reconnect, and experience more joy and ease in their lives.

Her approach is not to put a “band-aid” on the problem and cheerlead you step-by-step on how to make it better. She wants to help you make life-long impactful changes that allow you to “coach yourself” for the rest of your life.

The Power of Energy Medicine With Kathy Lewis

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel is joined by certified gemstone therapy practitioner, Kathy Lewis, about stone healing and energy medicine.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I enjoyed the Navy, but I knew that when I got out I wanted to do something in the healing field. I thought I was going to be a doctor, but I ended up in more alternative-type things like massage and bodywork. I've been trained in several different energy modalities and with each one I just knew this is great but it’s not my thing. When I was introduced to gemstones every light in my entire being lit up and said: “this is the thing, this is what you’re meant to do”. Over the last five years I’ve never looked back.
This particular form of gemstone therapy has very specific protocols that we follow. Essentially, when I come into the field of a person who is seeking treatment, their non-conscious meets my non-conscious and they have a conversation. It’s as though my energetic palette, everything I have to offer, is out there on display and that person’s intelligence centre – their higher intelligence – gets that and then I have the capacity to directly ask those intelligence centres in the body “what do you need? What would be helpful here?” Then, with my experience and training I’m able to bring that in and provide that.
Usually, a chronic headache indicates something going on in the rest of the body/field. It’s like an investigative detective session where we track it, see what’s going on and help support that and the resolution of the headache becomes a by-product, because major healing is taking place in the rest of the system/body.
It’s empowering. To feel like you have blockages, which we hear all the time, implies a lack of power, that you’re ineffective and you have no control. Really the opposite is true, we just need support to get there.

BEST MOMENTS

“I use medicinal quality gems in spherical form – beads with a drill hole, which forces the energy onto a toroid pattern. The human energy field is also toroidal, so when these two come together with an intention, that’s when the magic happens.”

“It’s a whole brain thing, it’s left and right, and it’s working with somebody.”

“I apply different stones and combinations to take that person from where they were to where they’re going.”

“Most of us don’t have a vocabulary for or have experienced an energy session. I ask ‘what do you notice in your body? Do you feel heat or pulsations? That’s energy. Once people have that shift they wonder how they missed it. Once you have awareness you can make changes.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Kathy Lewis’ goal is to assist people in becoming the very best version of themselves that they can possibly be. She has been in the bodywork and healthcare field since 1997.

She believes we all have the potential to realise greater health, wellbeing, and self-actualisation. However, that road can be a challenging one and sometimes we need help getting there. Kathy’s intention is to be of service in assisting others to realise their goals.

The Power of Lowering The Cognitive Load

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 23:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Ariel talks about the power of lowering stress where she gives tips and ideas about how not to overdo it in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Imagine pulling a wagon with heavy stones in it all day long. If you clear the stones out of it it’s easier to pull. The cognitive load is everything we think about, feel, learn, process, and have to remember and deal with on a daily basis. The mind and brain can only process so much information consciously, so a lot of it becomes subconscious. We’re constantly being bombarded in the modern age with the internet as well as life stuff, most of us already have too much cognitive load before the pandemic.
Look at your schedule, are you over-scheduled? Do you need to take breaks or get out for a walk? Do you have too many financial commitments? Are there too many people counting on you emotionally? Is there anything you can cut or reduce in your life? You can delegate housework by buying one of those robots that vacuum and mops, or hire a cleaner, that’s one less thing on your list.
One of the unsung heroes in managing depression and anxiety is exercise 3-5 days a week. It has so many different benefits mentally and physically, it helps you clear emotional distress, you can take out your anger while exercising too, it boosts immune function and keeps you young and your joints lubricated.
Saying ‘no’ politely yet firmly is another way to decrease cognitive load, so set those boundaries and keep them. If somebody wants something you can’t give or you need to keep space in your calendar just for you to have time for yourself, do it. Most of us have been taught to please people, but we end up overrunning our own boundaries and we send negative messages to ourselves that we don’t deserve our own time, space, feelings, opinions or needs. It’s really important that you set boundaries and take time to take care of yourself. (Make sure to check out episode 11 on relationship boundaries and episode 24 on business boundaries.)

BEST MOMENTS

“You want to have a positive experience in life, so you need to find ways to lower your cognitive load.”

“Make sure you have gaps in your schedule.”

“Saving money is a good way to lower your stress levels because you know that you can look after yourself if something unplanned happens that would normally be stressful.”

“Go out and have some fun, whatever you like to do that helps you feel whole.”

Laura LeDoux: The Power of Cybersecurity

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 23:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by cybersecurity expert Laura LeDoux. Cybersecurity is major issue, currently 2million Washingtonians are exposed to potential identity theft, and if you don’t know what RFID wallets are, API keys, two-factor authentication or the ‘the bank statement rule’, you definitely need to listen to this episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first part of regulation of privacy setting is self-regulation, a lot of users don’t understand the tools they have at their own fingertips to enhance their own privacy and security. What I like to do is help users of phones/apps/websites to access something electronically where you might transmit your data.
If you have a home-based business, make sure you’re not using your home address for things like your licencing, professional associations, etc because that comes to your home and if your mail is stolen of something becomes compromised, people now know that you have a business out of your home.
Multi-factor authentication is a very protective way that many service providers use to ensure that you are in fact you. It can be annoying for users, but that few extra seconds you’re waiting for a verification email or text is so worth it. It means that if someone has your computer and are trying to hack into your accounts, but you have your phone, you’ll get a ping on your phone to alert you that someone’s trying to sign in. You can then take protective measures with whichever service provider it is.
The bank statement rule is a law that says if you don’t check your bank account statement on a regular basis (once every 60 days, possibly) you’re liable for any unauthorised activity. Keep an eye on your accounts and be the first line of defence to anyone using your account without you authorisation. The quicker you discover it, the quicker you can mitigate damages and prevent things from going further.

BEST MOMENTS

“Turn off location setting in your phone – only when using an app. Apps track your location if you allow them to. Turn off location settings on your photos.”

“Have separate accounts for business and personal and make sure it’s locked down so no one you don’t know can see your personal account.”

“Browse in ‘incognito mode’ to protect your privacy, don’t give you r personal information just for personal information purposes, like for coupons and ebooks, etc.”

“The less places that have your personal information, when we have these data breaches, the less likely you are to be compromised.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Laura liaisons with technical and legal professionals from around the world to deliver innovative solutions that merge legal and technical requirements to ensure end-to-end compliance.

In response to data privacy issues raised by the pandemic, in 2020 Laura created a series called Diaries of a Data-Driven Culture E1: Diaries of a Data-Driven Culture on YouTube. There are several episodes, including Protecting Your Own Data, E2: Protecting Your Own Data, and Balancing Data Privacy Rights E3: Balancing Data Privacy Rights

Christine Lalonde And The Power of Hustle Audio

Sun, 27 Mar 2022 23:00:00 -0000

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I came up with my five door approach to hustle after moving to LA as a model. I was doing so many things, trying to learn all about the business, and people said to me “you should focus on one door, hone your craft and go through it to the next door when you’re ready”. I found that ridiculous because, what if that’s the one door that will never open. If I do 5 different things, who’s to say what door’s going to open? I’ll be prepared for any of them to open and I can then bring those other things with me.
Covid obliterated my event coordination business, so I needed to think about what direction I needed to go in, so I manifested overnight, in my sleep, I woke up in the morning and my documentary was there in my mind, I could see it, it was like a vision. I registered and copyrighted it and began writing it that day, I then called round people I knew in that business and it’s since turned into a docuseries – Hollywood Dreams: The Unexpected Journey.
I hope to inspire people around the world with this series who didn’t know that these jobs existed in Hollywood and never would have thought to go for it. Hollywood is way bigger than the celebrities that you read about.
The podcast started out talking to people about dating, what it’s like to date in the modern world, but has evolved to include dating coaches, therapists and experts in the dating world to help people look for the scammers, how to be comfortable within your skin when you’re single so that when you enter into a relationship you’re happy in that relationship.

BEST MOMENTS

“I never do something unless I’m really, really good at it.”

“In business, the first 2-3 years are the hardest and you’ve just gotta keep going.”

“I will do a lot for people without asking for anything in return because I believe that something will come back to you, if not from them then from somewhere else.”

The Power of the Pivot With Nina Barnett

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0000

KEY TAKEAWAYS

After a decade of working as a book designer in New York City for various publishers, I just knew I wanted to live on the West Coast and for the next adventure in my life. So, I did it, I moved to Seattle, got a laptop and was ready to freelance but eventually got a full time job as Seattle isn’t a publishing town. I eventually got made redundant in my third trimester. No one would take me on, so I really decided to go freelance in a different industry.
The next pivot, which I wasn’t expecting, or would wish on anyone, was the divorce pivot. That wasn’t a fun pivot, but at that point I had a 3 year old who was in pre-school, so I had the days free to freelance, but once he was in elementary school I had to figure out childcare and how to get contract work/full-time work. But I realised I didn’t have a lot of the skills that the market needed. So, I pivoted again to general graphic design, rather than publishing. It wasn’t the time to go back to school and learn new skills, I just needed to get work with the skills that I had.
I had to really rely on myself. As much as it was scary, it was empowering at the same time. Coming from New York, I always felt I had a sense of resourcefulness and grit. You don’t have to come from there to have those qualities, you just have to be ready in advance and thinking ahead. I always had to rebrand myself, create a new website and marketing materials for myself for whatever U was trying to go after.
My Mom’s house was massively damaged by Hurricane Sandy and, thanks to a contract ending early, I was able to help her clean up 40 years worth of stuff she’d never thrown away, which was emotional, and get the house in order so she could eventually move. My Mom said, ‘you could do this for other people’ and this led to the mid-life crisis pivot, which was me getting burned out and sick of graphic design and start over like my Mom was starting over. So, I created the company Home Serenity Now, which was organising and interior designing for people for a couple of years, despite not having the skills to do it. But it wasn’t enough money, or solid enough, so I went back to graphic design part time for Time as well as interior design, for a while, and it reignited my love for graphic design again.
During the pandemic I went back to school, because I knew I didn’t have the skillset for digital graphic design… I didn’t even understand the job descriptions! It came at the perfect time, my son was a teenager now. I did a two-year course in six months because there was nothing else to do because of the pandemic! I became a sponge because I wanted it so badly and I wanted the stability for me and my child. I learned that I’m really capable of doing things that are difficult. Believe that if I can do it, you can do it.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’ve always listened to the feeling I’m getting”

“For a very long time I was always changing things in my life, and I had to be ready for the next thing that came my way.”

“You have to be ready when an opportunity comes your way, and you have to make those opportunities.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you go back to the beginning of human history, humans were nomadic. That aspect of our nature is still with us. We only became agrarian when we domesticated animals and plants and began to focus on a sense of being in one place about 12,000 years ago. But people would often still travel to sacred spaces to meet, trade, tell stories, exchange, mate with and interact with other people.
What makes a space sacred depends on its history, geography, climate, food and culture, and arguably its energy. There are energetic structures in the earth called ley lines which are much like the meridians in our bodies. Sometimes they have positive energy and sometimes not so much, some of them contain electro-magnetic pools of energy, especially when two or more ley lines cross each other. Temples, churches and synagogues are often built on top of these locations.
Sedona is one of these locations, it is considered one of the new-age capitals of the USA and is built with red rock promontories, Pinyon trees and energy vortexes – mystical and magic. It’s one of the few places where people in Ariel’s profession are everywhere rather than in the shadows or in yoga studios.
There are many different vortices: electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, inflow, upflow and chakra oriented and they all have different properties. Electric and upflow vortices lift you up, they’re stimulating and open up your upper chakras, bliss you out and you feel like you can fly. Magnetic vortices work more on the subconscious level, they’re usually caves, canyons or valleys and they feel less intense and more calm, later on you might have insights. Electromagnetic vortices can help you stay connected to your consciousness and awareness and help you do advanced meditation or processing work. Lateral flow vortices are where energy spreads outward and are where you can tune into future possibilities for yourself and others as well as tune into experiences from past lives as well as your future.

BEST MOMENTS

“Travelling is something we’ve done for a very very long time, it gets us out of our rut and habitual ways of living and experiencing life, opening us up to different perspectives, histories and ways of doing and seeing things.”

“Sacred spaces have the power to help us rejuvenate and to become inspired once again.”

“Make sure that whenever you go out into these spaces that you take notice of the weather and the environment around you, flash floods and lightning strikes can occur in these places as well as dehydration in the heat, so take water.”

Jennifer Kennett: The Power of Business

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by psychotherapist and business coach Jennifer Kennett to talk about the power of business boundaries, including how to set boundaries and the cost of not having them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The easiest way to think of business boundaries is they are all the ways you want to set expectations with potential clients and clients in order for you to be able to show up as your best self. It covers a lot of areas including time, money, how you want clients to contact you, how you want to take them through the business process, how many days and hours a week you are going to work.
Business partnerships are one of the most complex relationships out there, they’re like a marriage without any of the emotional connection or willingness to give each other the benefit of the doubt.
I often ask new therapists (but it applies to anybody) what they need to do for their lives to be sustainable. Most say between $60-70,000 a year. That’s not unreasonable. Then I ask is that revenue or take home, and if it’s take home, is that before or after taxes? And their eyes go wide. But you need to know that because your price for potential clients is going to be dependent upon how much you want to make and what you need to make.
When you honour a business boundary with yourself your mental health will get better because it removes the resentment that builds up – which is a really good indicator that someone’s not holding healthy business boundaries

BEST MOMENTS

“So many entrepreneurs walk into the business space without thinking about what are the boundaries that I need to set in my life, with my clients, with my employees and contractors in order for me to turn up as my best self.”

“You should plan to spend an hour of administrative work for every hour of client-based work. Especially in your first couple of years because you’re setting up your systems.”

“If replying to voicemails takes up too much of your time, simply record a voicemail saying you don’t reply to voicemails and the easiest way to reach me is email or text.”

“In most industries money boundaries are the biggest ones because it feeds into our sense of worth, we’re told how much you make is equivalent to how valuable you are. Which is not true.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

As an entrepreneur since 1985, Jennifer understands the challenges that women entrepreneurs experience on a daily basis. She has a deep and abiding passion for the human spirit and an intuitive understanding of how people grow and embody the best version of themselves.

Jennifer is a psychotherapist, a private practice coach, and a counsellor-educator. She owns both Eastside Couples Therapy and Private Practice Alchemy. Her work empowers individuals and couples to build relationships that support both connectedness and individual growth and development. She completed her M.B.A. with distinction in 2010, and an M.A. in Counselling Psychology in 2001, and she is currently pursuing her doctorate in Counsellor Education & Supervision.

Taryn Laakso: The Power of Perspective?

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode, Ariel is joined by Taryn Laakso, who helps people unlock their potential by helping them transform their perspective. They look at how our perspective creates incredible positive results in our lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I help my clients with a ‘Five I plan’. We investigate what’s working, what’s not working and what they want, I help them intercept the negative thought patterns that are holding them back, then we go into inspire; what do they want, how do they want to impact the world in which they live and where they see themselves in 5-10 years and at the end of their life, looking back. Then we initiate those plans and take bold actions to get them out of their comfort zones
My mind Jedi tactics to get people out of a perspective that isn’t serving us, that’s surrounded in negative emotions: doubt, fear, blame, shame, guilt. The perspective shift can be as simple as taking time to breathe, centre the nervous system and even rubbing our fingertips together and focussing on feeling the ridges there for a minute or two throughout the day, our nervous system calms down and you can start shifting.
There’s one brain that’s split into left and right, but then there’s our ‘body brain’, when people say they have a gut feeling about something, our gut is a brain, it’s full of information, like when you get chills about something. If we can start learning to trust it and that wisdom, we’ll get a chance to explore it.
One of my clients is the leader of a non-profit, she went through my 8-week mental fitness bootcamp and because she was able to identify the saboteur, inner-critic thoughts… She wanted to go after a grant for her company, and the inner-critic voice was poo-pooing it. She identified that and thought ‘what’s possible if I go after this?’ She went after it and got several hundred thousand dollars and went from being able to serve 75 kids to 3000 kids that are struggling in school.

BEST MOMENTS

“I get a lot of resistance when I ask people to go into their body, especially from high performing corporate types.”

“We’re always at choice of how we see something.”

“The wisdom that we tap into is what I call ‘sage wisdom’, it provides a different perspective rather than sitting in negative emotions.”

“Being curious we can be willing to explore other possibilities and perspectives, it’s open not closed off and shut down.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Taryn Laakso is a leadership & mental fitness coach who guides clients through a journey of overcoming limiting beliefs, igniting confidence, and inspiring leadership.

Taryn left the corporate world on March 5th, 2020, unknowingly days before the world came to a halt with Covid-19. She left behind a 20+ year career in HR and Technology to fully pursue a career that ignited her passion and would create a living that inspired rather than tired her out.

She understands the human dynamics that are called forth when encountering difficult choices during transitions like career changes, relationships, and parenting. This understanding allows her to hold compassion, wisdom, and empathy for others facing similar challenges. Taryn recognizes that corporate professionals and parents face similar challenges at the office and at home; especially when transitioning into a new phase of leadership, parenting, or relationships. Often they are faced with negative self-talk like “Am I good enough?” or “Am I doing enough?”. These particular negative self-talk tapes increase in volume significantly when facing a major transition. Taryn believes that no one should go alone on the journey of transformation without a guide to keep an eye out for the crevasses of negative inner talk that open up wide to sabotage your happiness and confidence.

Elisia - Howard The Power of Preparation for College

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Elisia - Howard, the founder and CEO of College Insights – a private college consulting company – based in the greater Seattle area, who will educate us on how to prepare for college and point us in the direction of finding scholarships from college. It’s never to early to get started, if you have kids in middle school through high school you’ll want to hear this information.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The best time to looking at the colleges and universities they would like to attend is around junior year, but do it earlier, middle-school even. It doesn’t have to be formal, if you’re on vacation or a road trip and there’s a school nearby, why not stop in and look around. Then you’ll have a better idea of what you want one you do get to that time.
Schools are ranked on a lot of things, and if people knew they wouldn’t use them so much. Objective things like how many books are in the library, have the professors published and how much have they published, how much land does the school own? At the end of the day, how does that help me as a student go to a school where I can’t even talk to my professors because they’re researchers.
The application process, from junior high school to being in your dorm room, involves 4steps: 1) Creating a list of 8-12 colleges that you want to go to which takes about a month. 2) The essay process, average of 30 essays per kid which takes about 6 months because it’s hard to get a teenager through that many essays. 3) Applications (common, coalition, some schools have their own applications), perhaps 2-10 per school. 4) Financial aid, in senior year of high school you’re going to have to fill out the FAFFSA (free application for federal student aid) in October and every year subsequently when you’re in school. It’ll shoot back a number, the EFC (expected family contribution) – don’t worry about that number for now, it’s just a number that doesn’t make sense. The colleges will give you an award of money based on that number. It’s not free money, it’s the dollars used to pay the cost of college (scholarship or grant, which are free money, but it could be money you’ve saved in your 529 account, mutual funds, trusts, loans.) A lot of different funds make up financial aid and can be awarded differently at different schools.
I have low-cost classes to help you navigate the process themselves, or there are packages. The small one is where I help you craft the list of colleges and essays and help with financial aid, or you can give me complete control of the process. I can save you £12,000-$15,000 in my sleep, minimum, and you’ll pay me a fraction of that. I had 6 students who went for free this year.

BEST MOMENTS

“There’s no map, you can’t fit how you’ll like the professors, are the dorms open, is it easy to make friends, are there clubs you’re interested in. It’s hard to do that with an SAT score.”

“How does a high school student know what they’re looking for? They don’t!”

“We’ll start with a list of 30 schools then narrow it to 10-12. Each application costs between $50-$100 and takes about 3 hours.”

“If you can’t write a cheque to pay for your kids’ school, we have to be very strategic with financial aid and how to make those dollars go. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a bunch of loans.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Having lived abroad for six years, Elisia loved being an expat and has traveled extensively around the world, learning about many different cultures and exploring new places, and especially loves spending time at the beach.

She is a self-proclaimed nerd who enjoys reading, particularly non-fiction, and learning about all things she finds interesting. One of her favorite subjects is personal finance (she likes it so much she was actually considering a career as a financial advisor before deciding to go into college consulting).

Elisia loves the sport of CrossFit and is a self-described avid CrossFitter and meditates almost every day.

Although she taught at the university level, she actually loves working with children and used to teach preschool on the side for fun, as well as volunteered as a baby holder at orphanages around the world.

She has a master’s degree in Education, specializing in education policy, is a member of NACAC, a Certified College Counselor, and is the only Certified Financial Aid Advisor in Washington State.

Elisia has been in education for fifteen years and worked in college admissions for five years before starting College Insights in 2015.

ABOUT THE HOST

Eileen Vierra - The Power of Memories

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Eileen Vierra, founder and chief creation officer of her company Memory Books By Eileen. She is a professional memory book maker as well as sells memory book supplies and hosts workshops and classes for people who want to create their own scrapbooks and photobooks. She’s been working on her own albums for over 40 years and has been in this industry professionally for 20 years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Scrapbooking isn’t just gluing pictures into a book, there are digital scrapbooks and even hybrid ones. We can even do workshops over Zoom, not just in person. One of the things that people said in 2020 was that they were so thrilled being able to get together every week to do this over Zoom while they couldn’t go out and see each other during the lockdowns.
Anything creative is therapeutic, it works the right side of your brain, it relaxes you, but reliving your memories is especially therapeutic. I find, especially, that after someone has passed and I make a book for them it helps me process my emotions while I’m making the book. Then I have something I go to to visit that person.
My top tip to preserve our memories: Organize your pictures in one place like your phone or computer, but especially on a cloud system – Forever is a good platform as, unlike iCloud, is allows others to access them if you want them to and they can order prints and canvasses and they guarantee the images will be safe up to 100 years after your death.

BEST MOMENTS

“Not only do we get to relive and enjoy our memories, we get to share them with each other.”

“Our books don’t contain lignin or acids that degrade the pages over time, and we sell protective covers and edges, so the pages don’t get damaged.”

“People have contacted me to say how thrilled they are to get these books, so much so that they’ve invited other people over to see them.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Eileen Vierra has worked in many different industries, from banking to teaching, and even as a tour guide for T-Mobile Park and the Seattle Mariners. But, through her life, one thing has remained constant: Scrapbooking. She loves creating things that tell a story, that can be held and felt, that are cherished for years to come.

Eileen then learned about Creative Memories where she could create scrapbooks for others. She quickly realized that her business was going to beyond selling products, she wanted to see how to do it for themselves. So, she set up Saturday Workshops for them and later ‘Coffee Crops’ daytime workshops and more recently, Weekend Scrapbooking Retreats.

Eileen considers herself an educator, a scrapbooker, and a facilitator who doesn’t just provide the supplies but shows people how to use them.

In this episode, Ariel is joined by Karen Solomon to talk about the power of confidence and how that shows up in a variety of different ways in relating, being authentic and how we show up. Karen is the author of ‘Sexy, Sassy and Starting Over’ and is an intimacy and relationship coach who teaches men and women the keys to confidence from the bedroom to the boardroom.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

My very first client back in the 80s was a friend how had no idea how to dress, so I took him shopping and spent $1200 on clothes and I organised his wardrobe, and he became a completely different human. His family asked if he’d won the lottery, he was being more successful with women, just from going shopping. This is why I do the work.
When men doubt themselves, they tend to doubt their ability to produce something, when women doubt ourselves, we doubt our attractiveness – not just about how we look, but attracting. If a guy is doubting himself about his production, tell him something awesome about his production.
It’s all about communication. If I want a man to touch me in a different way than he’s touching me, or to get him to wipe the counters as well as doing the dishes, I can’t say ‘what’s wrong with you, why didn’t you wipe the counters?’ Say ‘wow, thanks for doing that, awesome job, would you be willing to wipe the crumbs before you come up?’ I appreciated, I made a request, I thanked him for hearing the request – ART: Appreciate, Request, Thank.
Being truly in communication means that everything that needs to be said about appreciating a particular, intimate person in your life, that isn’t so easy to say because you’re afraid of their reaction but they really need to hear. I teach skillsets where you learn the exact way to appreciate someone using a script, as goofy as that sounds.

BEST MOMENTS

“I had an epiphany at a tantra event where I was a puddle on the floor crying because of the deep connection I had in 2 hours with people I’d never met before that had nothing to do with having sex but everything to do with being seen and seeing, and relief and joy at what might be possible for me.”

“Girls have ‘innies’ that attract and boys have ‘outies’ that produce.”

“We all have different superpowers, so how about we say nice things to each other? Don’t take each other for granted.”

“Pay attention to your partner.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Karen Solomon’s personal journey has prepared her to be the speaker, seminar leader and coach she is today. This journey includes a background in education, decades of personal development studying with a variety of intimacy experts such as David Deida and esteemed tantra teachers Caroline and Charles Muir as well as years of studies with The Institute for Human Abilities. She's had a successful long-term marriage and subsequent amicable divorce, and is a grateful two-time breast cancer survivor. Karen’s recent book Sexy, Sassy & Starting Over, as well as her coaching practice, focus on the connection between communication, sensuality, sexuality, financial clarity and pleasure - particularly when starting over after huge life transitions.

Dani Stoller: The Power of Meditation for Kids

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Dani Stoller, a high school science teacher who decided to create a calm room using her training in hypnotherapy, reiki, visualization and other techniques to bring calm and peace to her students for the last six years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We facilitate guided meditations, yoga, mindfulness arts and crafts and a safe space for kids to come. We also have staff days. We do it Tuesday and Thursday lunch times and the kids enjoy it and it’s grown through word of mouth.
When you do stretching and yoga you have less injuries, which is good for the football players. They were more calm, they did visualization so they were more pumped up for the games.
Some kids say they don’t want to meditate and that it’s dumb, but as soon as they start doing it you can see that a light comes on and their energy is so much better. They still think it’s not cool to say they liked it, but you can see that they liked it.
When I first did reiki it was rough, a lot of things came up that I didn’t even know were there. It helped me deal with a lot of shadow work and it does help me to be in the now. My gratefulness is more now, I trust the universe more, I know that everything happens for a reason. I’m at peace with who I am, what the universe wants from me and what I need to do.

BEST MOMENTS

“One of our facilitator’s husband is the football coach, so he brings all the football kids in to do meditation and yoga before the game, it’s great!”

“If there’s downtime in the class or the kids are a little rowdy I take them to the calm room and do guided meditation with them.”

“Because I’m an empath, I can feel their energy change.”

“I do see a lot of self-realisation when we do guided meditations.”

The Power of Visualization

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Tina Mitchell who used the power of visualization to overcome incredible challenges and tragedies to create a successful and beautiful life where she serves and empowers others through business, education and supporting the community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Each of our lives is like a road trip. When you travel you use a map to get to you from one destination to another, but even with a map you can take a wrong turn. Along the way there are life lessons and the road that you choose will determine your life direction and your life experience. Our life is a journey of discovery, discovering who we are and what we are meant to contribute to this world.
My Mom taught me visualization when we’d be at the train station away from my Dad who had come home drunk. She’d explain in detail how beautiful the train was and how amazing it was going to be to walk from one end of the train to the other, crossing the cars as the train was travelling over 70mph, or sit in the observation car the dining car and the sleeper car. Her dream was so real it was as if we were already on the train and she had manifest it right there in the moment for all three of us.
What not visualizing did for me is it made the negative conversation in my head spiral. I had nothing to offset it and spiralled out of control. I went to the cemetery to say goodbye to my daughter, Amber, because I intended to end my life after my husband was arrested and I was scared that he was going to go away for 20 years and I would lose the house. I noticed another headstone there that hadn’t been there before where two young children had died at the age of 2 and 4. I thought “wow, that Mom lost two children, I only lost one after just 4 months”. I realised I don’t have it that bad.
It’s not about reaching for an extraordinary life, it’s about embracing every second of now, today. Through that process you’ll live an extraordinary life and your ordinary moments become extraordinary and your extraordinary moments will become defining moments.

BEST MOMENTS

“Life throws us tragedies so we can share our story of triumph on the other side.”

“I’ve been able to see what having visualization, and what engaging in that skill, can do for you. And I’ve seen how drastically your life can go downhill if you don’t visualize that you’re worth anything.”

“What if this time I fought for my life instead of not?”

“Open Arms by Journey came on and immediately I went from depressed to nostalgic! It reminded my of my first slow dance in 7th Grade.”

ABOUT THE HOST

The Power of Money Part 2

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel explores some tips, trends and ideas for podcasts, books and information to help women make wise money decisions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Money is often a dirty secret in families or between romantic partners or friends, some people would rather divulge shameful personal details rather than give up information about how much they make, what their credit score is and what their debt or spending habits are.
The book ‘Creating Money’ is a classic spiritual book and it teaches you about your vibrational frequencies and you consciousness and how you can change what you manifest and create by how you show up, how you think, how you feel.
If you’re in business, one of Gerber’s laws is ‘The Law of Customer Satisfaction’ – the customer is always right and if the customer seems to be wrong, refer back to law number one. All customer satisfaction comes from people dealing with other people, as in relationships. Money is an energy that flows to us and is a representation of something that’s been given or done.
Some good money-based podcasts include Her Money with Jean Chatzky, Afford Anything with Paula Plant, The Clark Howard Show, The Money Hour with Tina Mitchell

BEST MOMENTS

“The book I really loved is ‘Your Money or Your Life’. It helps us manifest our mindset and habits regarding money.”

“Our inner guidance speaks in many different ways, but always through a sense of self-love and feeling good about what you’re doing.”

“The Compound Effect is about implementing successful strategies over a long period of time you will get results.”

“If you look at money like a person and you treat it like a person, you’re going to have a better relationship with money than if you don’t.”

Emily McPhetridge: The Power of Money

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Emily McPhetridge, a banker who is here to educate us on the power of money and expand our understanding of how to relate to it in an empowered way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your credit score is how banks and credit unions see your dependability – can you make your payments on time? Are you up to date on your loans? This affects your ability to purchase a home, get a credit card, getting a loan, a phone, etc. Credit is so important throughout your life and the foundation of being an adult.
Something that’s intimidating to moist people but most banks offer is financial planners. Their job is to look at your full financial picture so they can help set you up for success, plan you life, saving for a vacation/home, plan your retirement.
The number one mistake I’ve seen people make in my time as a banker is credit cards; the amount of debt that people can get into through credit cards, especially when you’re young. I’m guilty, I did it before I got into banking, and I learned my lesson. Credit cards are there for emergencies and for 30% usage or under. Getting into debt, especially with store cards, can get you into so much trouble and hurt your credit score, which will take a lot of time and commitment to repair.
Most of my clients are female small business owners and I admire them because they do everything. It’s really important to surround yourself with people you admire, especially being a female working in corporate America.

BEST MOMENTS

“Keep your credit card usage to under 30%, if you do your credit score will increase.”

“When spending, don’t go outside your budget. Just because you’ve been given a high credit limit it doesn’t mean you can afford to max out that limit.”

“When you’re starting out, learn how to manage your money and how to save. Open a checking account and a savings account. Use apps to learn to budget your money.”

“It’s never too late to learn new financial behaviours.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Emily McPhetridge started in the banking industry in 2016, starting as a teller she became the manager of her community bank five years later. Throughout her banking career she learned the value of quality customer service, the power of financial knowledge and the importance of financial stability, especially as a young woman.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Time is a collective agreement people make to organise their activities, celebrations, finances, calendars and even their psychological relationship with time. When we come to the end of the year we’re looking at our lives through the lens of completion and renewal.
2020 was a mixed bag of adjectives: A time of medical confusion, a time of medical miracles, a time of medical overwhelm, hell revealing, frustrating, an opportunity, scary as hell, painful, lonely, a growth experience, a revelation, it showed us society’s limitations, it showed us how we need to pivot, it showed us how we can grow. What was 2021 for you though?
Trends for 2022: Looking for meaningful work that pays well after the great resignation of 2021. 95% of workers are considering a job change. The most resignations were in the tech and healthcare industry because they’re so challenging. People are feeling overwhelmed by socialising again. Content creation like Tik Tok or podcasting is going to boom. Mood management – people focusing on their feelings and being present. Better diversity representation.
Where is your energy taking you in 2022? What will you grow, heal or shift? What steps can you take to make something you want to experience next year happen?

BEST MOMENTS

“The end of 2021 feels like the end of two years of the pandemic, even though the pandemic is not over.”

“As you move into 2022, one emotional and mental way to close out 2021 is to think how it has been for you.”

“Lots of businesses are having trouble hiring and keeping hold of staff. People are no longer competing for jobs, companies are competing for people.”

“Being an entrepreneur has a lot of its own special challenges and people should not idealise being an entrepreneur, it’s a great experience but it’s a lot of work too.”

ABOUT THE HOST

“The universe listened and my life went in that direction five years after "

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Sharon Parish who has an amazing story to share. She was a corrections officer for 22 years, but has just embarked on another career path and a massage therapist and reiki healer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

After my divorce, I had to re-evaluate my life. I was hyper-focussed on what makes me happy. I knew I wasn’t happy in my current career so I wracked my brain to think of something I could do that I’d actually enjoy. My family has always been touchy-feely and would give each other massages, I started reading sensual massage books and enrolled into massage school and enjoyed everything about it.
There are some similarities between being a corrections officer and a massage therapist, they’re both on-on-one, but there’s a different type of rapport but both have positive interactions.
I connect with ‘offenders’ on a deeper level, I look onto their eyes and make sure they know I’m giving them compassion, so they know the decision I’m making is for their greater good.
The South is maybe the unhealthiest region of the country, there’s a significant pull towards junk food/soul food/BBQ and not for physical activity. So, I wanted to comeback home to give back to my community.

BEST MOMENTS

“The universe listened and my life went in that direction five years after I completed school. It fell into my lap.”

“I feel like I have the most success with ‘offenders’ with mental health issues.”

“It feels like it was ordained, everything is falling into place.”

“I want to make people aware of their bodies and the ailments they might have and give advice on how to be healthier holistically.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Sharon Parish, LMT, Reiki 2 Practitioner: Sharon has been a corrections officer for many years. Sharon has also been involved in the massage world for several years and can be reached @MagnoliaMobileMassage on Facebook and Instagram.

The Power of Celebration! How to Help Yourself and Others Through Difficult Times

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0000

On this Holiday edition of Woman Power Zone, Ariel discusses the power of celebrations, ideas for Covid-safe activities and ways we can help ourselves and others who may have a hard time during the holidays.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

During the pandemic we’ve not been able to do our celebrations as we normally would, and we’ve had to make a lot of changes in order to celebrate. People have had to even attend funerals, court dates by zoom, weddings have been changed to be done outside, drive-by birthday present giving, trick or treating etc.
You could sing carols in distanced groups – as long as you’re all vaccinated, you could walk round the neighbourhood looking at the holiday lights, you could winterise your space so that people can keep their distance but stay warm – or in a warm climate celebrate on the beach.
For the kids, why not take them ice-skating, making snowmen but six feet apart, roast smores over a fire, going to a Christmas tree farm – which often have play areas for kids.
Some people don’t realise how lonely the holiday can be for single people or those without families to spend time with. You would be doing a huge public service to single people by just asking of they’d like to join you for the holidays. It’s a huge gift for somebody like that.

BEST MOMENTS

“What rituals are important to you during the holiday season?”

“I’ve loved the stories of unusual ways of celebrating during the holidays.”

“Consider volunteering, helping others helps us get out of our own problems.”

“Do something fun for yourself from travelling to having a massage. If you’re feeling depressed, make sure you reach out.”

Ruth Werner - The Power of Knowing What You Want

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 00:00:00 -0000

On this episode Ariel is joined by Ruth Werner, a trained Massage Therapist, an author and educator in the massage field with a career spanning over 30 years, to talk about the power of knowing what you want by recounting her path to becoming one of the most influential authors in the massage community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When I left massage school with a licence, I felt underprepared, especially working with people that had certain illnesses, diseases or conditions I didn’t know enough about to be sure that I was going to be safe. For example, Guillain-Barré syndrome. I couldn’t look it up and the patient didn’t know much about it either. I turned her down and it broke my heart but sparked me to want to know more about massage therapy in the context of illness or ongoing challenges.
What I wanted was a resource that would help me make good clinical decisions for clients who were struggling with illness. If my teacher had not said: “Here, will you do this thing for me?”, life would have probably worked out pretty differently for me… I don’t know, it’s hard to know.
I could have been self-employed as a massage therapist and done OK, but that wasn’t my calling. I did it for many years and I didn’t like it that much, I’d be in the session room with my hands on someone looking at the clock and watching the second hand thinking “go faster!” That was the moment I realised I’m in the wrong place, I’m not doing myself any favours and I’m definitely not doing my clients any favours. My passion was in the classroom and later being a writer.
My mother was a profound influence on my being a single mother raising four children in the 60s on a teacher’s salary. She was the first woman in her family every to finish a college education and work outside the home. Our family values were all about education and independence; you don’t rely on anyone for anything.

BEST MOMENTS

“It was five years from the initial proposal to opening my first box of books. Ironically, they were published wrong.”

“It was among the very first books for the rapidly growing market of massage therapy education and when people were looking for more formal education about pathologies in the classroom.”

“In life there’s a lot of bashing around and hitting dead ends and that’s OK because all of those dead ends feed into your wisdom when you find the right direction.”

“I want for the women who come after me to not find it as hard to negotiate a contract in their favour or to push back and say my editorial decision is the one we need to go with here, because it’s my name on the project.”
