Today I spent time in the hospital with my stepdaughter. I actively put in my best efforts to make this visit an exciting and curious experience for her. But even more lovely was our experience earlier in the day. Listen to the proud stepmom moment I shared with Sarah this afternoon. Her desire to pay-it-forward in her community still continues to warm my heart. 

I believe these small gestures are what will continue to spark change in our community and build resilient and compassionate children. 

On this episode we dive into: 

Turning a difficult situation into an exciting adventure 
The importance of supporting your child’s pay-it-forward ideas
A reminder to spread kindness in even the smallest, most unexpected ways
How giving not only makes the receiver feel good, it can fill your soul too
Being conscious of our gender-based language and terms

The take-home: 

Giving and paying-it-forward can help to temporarily flood your soul with happiness. We don’t know a stranger’s personal story, but we know that wherever they are in life, receiving an unexpected surprise in the Dairy Queen drive-through can be soul-filling and encourage that giving behaviour forward. Our communities rely on kindness and compassion!

225: Paying It Forward

226: Mental Wellness, Vision Boards and Scaling Up with Taylor Lindsay-Noel

On today’s episode, Dana and I answer a listener question!

Q from listener, Lana: How do you deal with family members who are often negative and more often than not, tend to be stuck in a rut. It’s challenging and very tiring. 

Primarily, make sure that you are taking care of yourself. If you are experiencing joy in your life, you’ll be in a far better position to help those in need. Setting boundaries are important, especially with so much time spent at home. Putting on your favorite music, mantra or podcast in the space that you’re sharing can help turn the mood around. 

On this episode we dive into: 
The importance of mental wellness days right now
Putting your mental wellness first instead of putting people’s needs before your own
Trying to distance ourselves from other’s emotions when they aren’t able to be receptive, can help protect your own energy
How reflecting on our innate programming can help us to overcome energetic blockages 



Dana’s Mantra Recommendation:

Lightness of Being- Satkirin Kaur Khalsa


“Self control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotion to overcome your intelligence.”- Morgan Freeman

Ps. If you have something you’d like to ask us, send us a message and we’ll add it to our list!! Xx

230: Family Values

Do you ever have those days, weeks or even seasons where your creativity muscle is just flowing? Well, the creative juices are flowing over here my friends and I am feeling so inspired to help you shift your energy too!

Many of us know that as women, our monthly cycles have a heavy impact on our ability to be creative. There are times during our cycle where our bodies need us to simply rest and take it easy. During these times, it's often hard to listen to our bodies and relax more and just enjoy the downtime and let stress or worry flow from us. The changing seasons can also have this effect on us, and as a result, many of my clients have found themselves with a lack of energy and motivation this week. 

I see this often working as a health and wellness coach, and it made me realize that there are many other people out there that may be feeling this way too. Life happens, and inevitably we are going to experience the lows of it, but there are simple ways in which we can take action to help ourselves move forward to shift to a more positive and abundant state. When we have these seasons, it trickles down into so many other parts of our lives. For example, if you’re unhappy in your job or your relationship, you likely don’t have enough energy left to take proper care of your body, mind, and soul; further pulling you into a negative state and the cycle continues. 

My answer to each of my clients was the same on how to move forward, get focused and feel like themselves again. They are all so important, and today I want to share these things with you. I encourage you to TRY to incorporate them in your day to day life. I promise that you will start to see positive things happen for you again and you will be able to move through the rut you are currently experiencing.

FIVE TIPS TO SHIFT YOUR ENERGY:

DRINK WATER: Time and time again you will be reminded to drink water and time and time again you will forget, but! It is SO important, so I am here to remind you again. 
 
SELF LOVE: Many people who are struggling have issues with their mindset. Last week I sat down with the owners of @lovepowerandco, Lindy (@lindysood) and Anna (@_annalozano), and we talked about how important it is to have positive self-talk and to learn to love ourselves. Positive self-awareness will ensure that we are able to make the right decisions for our well-being. 
 
EATING FRUITS, VEGGIES, HEALTHY FATS AND PROTEINS: If you are stressing your body by eating unhealthy foods, it is inevitably going to cause sickness in your body. For example, you’re going to feel tired, lethargic, and overtime the negative effects of this will compound. 
 
MOVEMENT: Having movement every single day in any form you are able to is so important. If you are unable to get in a more physical movement, try incorporating massage or slow stretching so that your muscles and cells are exposed to stimulation. 

SLEEP: Now, if you’re a parent, this is going to be tricky. But regardless, it is so important that you do your best to give your body the rest it needs. 

Next time something is going on in your life, no matter how big or small, try paying attention to these 5 things. These are basic, but yet so, so important.  Once we do become more mindful of these things, we can incorporate the missing piece into our daily practice again. As you do this, you will find that your body responds quicker and quicker to the various nourishment you are providing it; whether that be for the body, mind or soul. 

By taking small steps to move forward, you can make BIG changes in your life.  If you’re interested in making a change, making a shift in your life, and moving forward I would love to coach you on your journey!

Sincerely,

Just Playing Around V.2

Today I’m talking to the most special person in my life, Wayne Wolfe, my Dad. He’s lived for almost 65 years now and he’s had a very successful and wonderful life, but he’s also been through so much. No matter what he was going through though, he always managed to make me and my siblings feel like we were the most special people in his world. He is an outstanding man and I am honoured to be able to share his story and his resilience with you.  
My Dad grew up in a small town, on a farm with his six siblings. At the young age of 15, while working on the farm, his whole world changed in an instant when he jumped into a bin to save his Father’s life. They were both rescued from the bin, but unfortunately, his Dad did not survive that day. My Dad shared that in the days and months following the accident, they rallied together as a family, and with the help of neighbours, they carried on, because “that’s just what you have to do.” 

The next tragedy is the one that hurt my Dad the most, he shared. My mother, his wife, Marie Wolfe, passed away from cancer at the young age of 35. He doesn’t remember much in the 4 years proceeding this, rightly so. But the thing is, my Dad, in my eyes, never faltered. I grew up in a loving and abundant home and he was always there for us. Dad came to every game he could. He was not only on the sidelines, but he was also helping out like a coach. He shares though, that he was just doing his best to try to keep busy (and keep his mind off of other things). 

On this episode we dive into: 

How talking about tough times can help to heal. 
Talk about things more often … don’t let too much time pass.
Never stop talking about the ones you love. 
The importance of big bear hugs (and what ARE big bear hugs!).
Take the time to enjoy life (the things can wait). 
Seeing the positives in every situation to help drive you forward. 
How tough times help you to learn about yourself, quickly. 

The take-home: 

There is a lot one can learn from loss. It creates life-changing experiences that you just have to work through … and you figure out a way to carry on, because you have to. The important thing to remember is to get help when you need it - and lean on the support pillars around you. It’s not that you get over what happened, but you learn to live with the pain and continue on in a new way. Use the memories of good times and happy moments to keep you moving forward. In some closing words from my Dad, “The world would be at a big loss without you, Michelle.” … You too, Dad, I love you.

200: The Most Special Episode I've Ever Recorded With My Hero, My Dad

Does change excite or overwhelm you? Are the days all blending together?

Since the stay-at-home-order in Ontario, I’ve created day-to-day experiences and routines that bring me joy! But, I’ve noticed that when I do have a busy week, I lose sight of the little things that fill me up and help me function well. 

Awareness is the key to living an intentional life. What you eat, how you move, and your quality of sleep, will all impact your energy, mood and your ability to ease through life. I’m here to remind you to harness your creativity when it comes to implementing the unique changes that bring you healthy outcomes. 

On this episode we dive into: 

Where to find time to enjoy the little things
How to implement joy into your busy schedule 
Why sacrificing sleep is not the answer longterm 
Prioritizing the little things that have the biggest impact

The take-home: 

During a busy week, doing the little things that have the biggest impact can help you get through. Healthy food choices, getting the amount of sleep that’s right for you, and moving however your body feels right, can help you achieve your bigger goals. Questions to ask yourself: What do you want? Who do you want to be? And, what do you need in order to make these things happen?
