059 // 4 Simple + Effective Ways to Start Making Life Shifts Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

You know you want to make some changes, but you're overwhelmed at the idea and not sure where to start. One of the biggest things keeping people stuck where they are is the belief that they need to make big changes in order to experience a real shift in their lives. But the opposite is true-- the biggest shifts often come from the smallest of changes.

This episode walks you through 4 simple yet incredibly powerful ways to go about making shifts that feel doable and that you can implement right away.

If you're new to me, to The HYE Life, to self-healing and personal development, start here. I recommend pairing this episode with my Take The HYE Road workbook and using this work as your launchpad for coming into alignment with your HYEr self.

058 // The Practice of Embodiment with Riki Rosenthal @Riki_Wellness Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes the best interview episodes are the ones where nothing is planned and we just roll with whatever is top of mind. That's exactly what you're getting in this chat with my dear friend and movement teacher/healer, Riki Rosenthal @Riki_Wellness. We met on our teacher training in Bali earlier this year (throwback to pre-Covid) and we've been supporting each other in our entrepreneurial and personal growth journeys ever since. I wanted to bring Riki onto the show because she is incredibly down to earth, so honest and real, and brings out the same in me. She happens to be an amazing yoga teacher, acupuncturist, and embodiment coach. We discuss all of this and more in this fun girls chat. Enjoy!

We also get into...

our experiences and perspectives on the pressures to be fit as movement teachers and wellness professionals
how yoga has helped us to cultivate our true selves
making your movement practice more intuitive
the struggle for new yoga teachers during COVID times
owning what you love and what you're good at while embracing being a forever student
releasing perfectionism, showing up and taking messy inspired action
experimentation and trying new things just for the hell of it, without needing something to come of it
breaking the molds in personal brand-building
finding multiple outlets for expression and embodying creativity
why you don't HAVE to make your passion your job (if you don't want to)
living in tune with your cycles as women
her amazing Embodiment program to help introduce you to, understand, and be within your body

057 // Why An Identity Crisis Is A Good Thing + How to Embrace It Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

Most of us find ourselves diving into our self development journeys after the catalyst of an identity crisis. And in the thick of that uncertainty, all of that questioning, all of that uprooting, it can be difficult to be present to the exponential growth that is taking place.

I have had my fair share of identity crises over the last few years: when I first realized I didn't want to work in fashion anymore; when I decided I wanted to start The HYE Life, and again with this podcast; when I realized I wanted to leave NYC and travel without any sort of plan; all throughout my recovery to regain my cycles and restore my relationship with food, exercise, and my body; when I decided to move back to Boston last month, all just to name just a few. And the thing about identity shifts is, once you have your first one, they just keep coming!

But today's episode talks about why this is not only a good thing, but a great thing, and something we can embrace with curiosity, appreciation, resilience, and excitement. As you dive deeper into your self-discovery, the more identity shifts you will encounter and the more aligned with your HYEr self you become.

We also mention...

how you can have multiple relationships with the same person (or a place) over time
why journaling and writing your thoughts down is so important and how it helps with meditation
the 3 versions of you and why it's so important to integrate them
the discomfort and grief that comes with growth

056 // Take Charge Of Your Life through Eastern Medicine with Dr. Bita Yadidi Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

The HYE Life is about honoring yourself every day. And by that, we refer to your whole Self, your entire Self-- mind, body, and spirit. One of the incredible benefits of working on your Self through a holistic and integrative lens is getting a variety of perspectives on your current situation or condition and the Self discovery that comes with it. Eastern medicine practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, while they work on the physical body, are rooted in spirituality and emotional wellbeing via the energetics of the body. THIS I find incredibly fascinating, and it made a profound impact on my own healing journey.

Today's guest, Dr. Bita Yadidi, is a doctor of eastern medicine and owner of the Beverly Hills wellness clinic, Wellness To Be. She is helping busy, overwhelmed and stressed women worldwide through her in-person and virtual practice to find their unique path and experience a holistic lifestyle transformation - so they finally feel physically energized, mentally clear, emotionally grounded, spiritually attuned, and relationally connected.

055 // Distraction vs. Healthy Distance on Your Healing Journey Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

While it's important to take the time to be with your emotions and understand them, sometimes what we really need is to take some space and perspective. But there is a fine line between taking healthy distance from your healing, and distracting yourself as a means of avoidance. Today's episode dives into the difference between the two, some examples of what they might look like, and why you don't have to wait until you're healed to find happiness.

052 // Curating & Cultivating Your Aligned Home w. Jessie Ruane (@JessieFinds) Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Following the idea that your thoughts create your reality, it comes as no surprise that your environment, and especially your home, becomes a reflection of your internal environment. And because we are energetic beings, we also easily absorb the energy of our environment, and thus our relationship with our home is just as important as any other.

Creating an aligned home environment is something that takes time, attention, and love. It should be an expression of who you are, and what you're about! So with that in mind, today's guest is Jessie Ruane, aka @Jessiefinds, an actress and home decor genius based in Brooklyn. I stalked her TikTok and Instagram, and fell in love with her design ideas, totally doable DIYs, and budget-friendly finds (not to mention her positive energy!). So go check out her IG profile and tune into this fun, laid-back episode, and get inspired to cultivate your own aligned home!

How she scored her Brooklyn loft
Her decoration process
How to create spaces where there are none
How to prevent the cluttered look in a small apartment
How to work with color and accent pieces
Where to save and where to splurge
Creating a space with a partner
How the space around us is a reflection of our inward reality
Following you gut and intuition in designing your home
How the energy of a room impacts you
Breathing new life into your old and tired pieces
Her best tips for saving money and finding hidden gems in unexpected places

051 // Becoming Trigger Proof: How Regulating Your Nervous System Can Heal Your Past, Present, and Create Your Aligned Future, feat. Dr. Nima Rahmany Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

It's no secret that our past shapes who we are today. But what's less understood is how our past-- in particular our traumas, anxieties, beliefs and implicit biases-- causes much of today's current suffering, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

After recognizing this pattern in his patients, chiropractic Dr. Nima Rahmany is now on a mission to guide others in dissolving the root cause of their stress-induced ailments.

He is the creator of The Overview Method, where participants are taken through an exercise to clear emotional baggage and resentment that holds them back from moving to new levels in business, health, and family relationships.

In episode 51 of The HYE Life podcast, Dr. Nima explains how he has helped countless people who are stuck in toxic relationships, career limbo, and emotional trauma to overcome their anxiety and create powerfully aligned relationships by deepening their intimate relationship with themselves.

The HYElights:

how his practice transitioned from traditional chiropractic to incorporating self-development work
what our nervous system has to do with how we handle stress, trauma, and anxiety
what it means to self-regulate your nervous system, and how
why the key to conscious relationships is co-regulation, and how this begins with the self
the role of the vagus nerve in all of this
how self-healing enables you to attract relationships, careers, and communities that align with your authentic self
how to be a conscious, supportive partner, parent, and member of your community
the importance of healing ancestral wounding, in tandem with social reform, in order to move forward into a new world
Dr. Nima's Overview Method, and the 5 steps to becoming trigger proof
the importance of reparenting and shadow work, as told from a clinical perspective

050 // Redefining What is "Healthy" at Different Stages of Health Jun 20, 2020

Show notes

One of my biggest qualms with the world of wellness is how often general health advice is shared without real context or consideration of the state of health of those consuming these "tips and tricks." Am I grateful that access to health information is so widely available now? Absolutely! We can't just depend on doctors and researchers. But unfortunately, that also means we are seeing a lot of agenda-driven studies published on popular media outlets that all conflict each other, as well as a mass arrival of health coaches, fitness experts, and anyone pushina social media following and abs claiming to be a wellness influencer. And frankly? It's creating a whole lot of noise around what is "healthy," and even despite the availability of information, it's making it harder and harder to know what we should actually be doing.

The truth is, we cannot all simply follow general health advice in order to get well, and for many, this could make things a whole lot worse. For me, a lot of the things I was doing to try to achieve long term health did not align with my current needs of restoring hormone balance.

What you need in order to get well could, and likely will, look very different from what someone else needs. Not only that, but what you need NOW, could and likely will look very different from what you will need in the future! It all depends on your current stage of health and your conditioned mindset around what "healthy" means and looks like-- both physically and in terms of lifestyle. Let's get into it.

Taking bioindividuality to the next level
Recognizing what your current mind, body and spirit need RIGHT NOW, knowing that it will be different from your past and future needs
Coming into a place of consciousness about information sharing and being mindful of what you consume and share
Unravelling societal belief systems around "health"
You cannot sustain life long health without first getting healthy and balancing this current stage
Why you can't trust everything everything you see on social media (shocker!)
Taking a closer look at general advice around things like fasting and exercise
The dangers of the scarcity mindset
Our past is crucial to assess in order to determine our state of health and what we need to do to heal
Why it's important to seek personalized support
Take care of your three brains
The pursuit of health should not be stressful
