Powerback 202: 5 Witchy methods I use to connect + expand with Apr 11, 2024

Show notes

I am a girl of the earth and of the universe. When I learned that these are parts of who I am and that they actually really helped me not just to connect with myself, to get more grounded, and to get more centered, but these methods also helped me find clarity, peace, and solitude.
I get that there might be ways to do certain things. But just like I teach you in just about every topic and aspect, there's no right or wrong way to do something when it is fully in alignment with you.
So, my goal today is to share some of the things that I have found to be really supportive for me and maybe that will inspire you to find something that works for you as well.
The methods that I'm going to share with you in this Powerback® episode have been an incredibly simple yet profound way that I've been able to manage and tap into both of those things.
We’ll go through:

3 Fun facts about me
Method 1: grounding
Method 2: creating simmer pots
Method 3: airing out
Method 4: tarot and oracle cards
Method 5: seek guidance from mentors

202: Rediscover your personal style with Angela Foster Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

I don’t know about you but ever since the pandemic hit, I’ve gotten really used to comfy clothes with elastic waistbands. And while I’m 100% on board with feeling comfortable, I also want to feel put together and confident, too.
Today, we’re chatting with Petite Style Coach, Angela Foster, about rediscovering your own personal style so that you can easily get dressed and feel confident about how you look and feel.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

There’s no such thing as a style DNA, all you need is a framework
Figuring out what to wear should be fast and easy
Understanding personal branding and why it matters
Putting in a little bit of added effort for self-empowerment
The S.P.A.R.K. Style System
What to focus on to start to rebuild your closet today
How to discover your new personal style
Color analysis and finding the right colors for you

With over two decades of executive experience in the fashion and beauty industry, Angela Foster specializes in empowering high-achieving petite women to exude confidence by curating a wardrobe tailored to their unique needs. Angela's expertise has been featured in Real Simple and BestLife, inside of leadership coaching programs, and on podcasts including Wingnut Social and Liz on Biz. Whether it’s through DIY or personalized style coaching, Angela makes sure her clients never again find themselves paralyzed by the dreaded "I have nothing to wear" dilemma.

Powerback 201: What are you talking yourself out of? Apr 04, 2024

Show notes

Today, we're talking about talking yourself out of things that actually could bring you a lot of joy.
Now, we're not talking about the big stuff this time. We're talking about the small, incremental, tiny moments in your day that you feel a tug to lean in, you feel a calling to do, but then inevitably, your brain gets involved.
Then it's like, “No, I don't have time”, “I shouldn't do that”, “I should get back to work”... insert 18 million different shoulds. The point is that you end up talking yourself out of doing this thing and just continue to spin in the hamster wheel.
So, in this Powerback® episode, we're gonna take our power back by leaning into those simple joys of life. Learning how to recognize when you have those tugs, and then giving yourself permission to follow through with them. It's really interesting how some of the smallest things can bring us some of the biggest joys.
We’ll go through:

What I mean by talking yourself out of stuff
Why we talk ourselves out of life’s simplistic joys
How to start accepting these moments of joy and fulfillment
Reframing how you look at honoring your wants and desires
Notice when it happens and practice receiving

201: Honor Yourself, Even If It Rocks The Boat with Claire Uncapher Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

We’re trained to do what we’re told, live like we should, and suppress desires and emotions – mostly to make the people in our world more comfortable. After years if not decades of living like this, it’s likely shown up in your body as stress, anxiety, depression, weight gain, or more.
Today, we’re talking to Claire Uncapher about honoring yourself and really hearing and acting on the answer your soul knows to be true. Here’s the tough love moment… You’re not going to like the answer and it’s not always going to be convenient – but it’s the key to the changes that you’re hungry for.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

The 5 hurdles people struggle with
Don't make it mean anything about you that it doesn't
Sometimes you have to let shit fall apart
The difference between feeling and wallowing
How the emotions we push down manifest in our bodies
The 4 steps to accepting, and embracing yourself without guilt
The unspoken agreement in our society to not rock the boat
Acts of self-betrayal and choosing yourself instead

Claire is a dynamic and empowering speaker and coach who brings a unique blend of expertise with her background in clinical nursing, energy therapy, and life and transformational coaching. She is dedicated to helping individuals break free from past traumas, self-limiting beliefs, and long-standing issues with her holistic approach to depression and anxiety.
