From inflammation to brain health, turmeric has you covered. I'll share with you how I cook with it, supplement it, where to get it, why I think it's an easy part of the everyday routine…. Especially after a party day:). Enjoy!

Highlights:

Turmeric's origin: India, Indian cuisine. Turmeric in Ayurvedic Medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine. Overall wellbeing: turmeric as an anti-inflammatory and support in fighting chronic disease. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. Turmeric as a supplement and the importance of taking or cooking with turmeric correctly for optimal absorption/impact.

179. Coach's Corner: 2 MUST KNOW Communication Tips! Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

"The art of communication is the language of leadership."

-James Humes

This is what I like to call a "sprint podcast"… meaning it's less than 15 minutes and we get right to the point:) As a leader, I am passionate about continuing education and am currently knee deep in leadership and coaching training programs from casual courses to highly accredited "world renowned" universities and these are 2 big communication tips that are coming up all over the place. I would encourage anyone to do any of these full courses, but I also think it's highly useful to share the gold nuggets I have minded out of the experiences- to streamline the process for all! These are 2 must use communication tips that can change the flow of the conversation and the energy in the room to better create space to effectively communicate and make someone else feel seen and heard. I know the more we model simple skills like these the sooner we will see people exercising them back to us (#influencers) - everyone wins! Personal, professional, team, family- these are tips anyone and everyone can use… and always remember, being a good listener is always the most important skill in communication. Enjoy this one and give these a try- cheers!

Highlights:

Humanizing leadership! Leveling up your communication! Be seen and heard, seeing and hearing someone else. Building connection, building a team. Meeting people where they are at. Problem resolution and solution. Operating from genuine, authentic space. Practicing what you preach and setting the tone for future generations.

178. The Truth About Witchcraft: Embrace Your Inner Witch Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

"Witches listen to the secrets of the Earth, work in harmony with the powers of the moon and understand the longings of the human soul."

― Dacha Avelin

I am so excited today to bring a BRAND-NEW topic to T&T: Witchcraft! I am welcoming life enthusiasts and fellow graceful disruptor, Edie Fenton, to the T&T mic to share her journey in questioning a better way that led her to witchcraft and unpacking her own truths. From an early age Edie knew she needed to find out what made sense to her as far as religion, medicine, and beliefs in general. Society shapes much of our realities, but don't be afraid (be inspired by Edie!) to start doing some of your own research and seeking to see where we might have been led astray to keep us from knowing the truth- likely for the gain of others. Many current day "rituals" can be traced back to witchcraft including making a wish and blowing out your birthday candles, throwing coins into a wishing well, and even essential oils. It's all about the branding folks, if you shift your perspective you just might up your understanding. Enjoy this conversation and be ready to widen you lens on this great world and go hunting for your own meaning to make it all make sense!

Highlights:

Witchcraft, medicinal, herbal remedies and women with solutions. Feminism and business. Truth seeking and value applying. Questioning authority and trusting your gut. Traditions, rituals, and the "witchcraft" we unknowingly do on the daily. Changing the brand, not the product. Perspective, acceptance, and looking out for all voices. Beliefs, practices, and mental health.

Edith Fenton:

Edie left the teaching profession in April to find her joy. She's an empath who has recently started a journey to find her inner witch. She has 5 cats, 8 chickens and a giant man-child of a husband.

177. How To Reclaim Your Soul Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

"Don't Gain The World & Lose Your Soul, Wisdom Is Better Than Silver Or Gold."

― Bob Marley

I am so excited to welcome Shirin Etessam to the T&T Mic. Shirin is a multitalented business boss that has a wealth of business and personal experience to help guide us all back to our souls. From breakdown to breakthrough, Shirin is passionate about guiding us to a better, more fulfilled life. Shirin states, "From an early age, we're taught that to be worthy, to find true happiness, and to be "somebody," we have to accomplish many things. We become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we've "made it." Yet, it's safe to say that most of us remain feeling at peace and unfulfilled despite checking all the boxes. According to Shirin, it's because we've disconnected from our souls. Today we discuss her forthcoming book, FREE TO BE, a unique, easy-to-digest set of daily exercises to help us reconnect with our souls and begin a journey towards fulfillment in just six short weeks. From brain and heart detox to guiding us through rewriting our personal story, the lessons found in the book are those Shirin has used with major corporate clients including Apple, ABC, BBC, Virgin, Intel, and more. Shirin shares her personal journey that can inspire us all to take control back, seek our own version of happy- and do less!

Highlights:

Soul searching and questioning our own happiness. Breakdown to breakthrough. Finding the inspiration to pivot. Society vs. reality. Generational narrative and living in the now. Taking charge of your mental and physical health. LGBTQIA+. The Film industry then and now. Doing less and feeling more. Living unapologetically.

Shirin Etessam:

Shirin Etessam is an entrepreneur, seasoned media executive, and transformational speaker. She has produced films, original television series and specials, created several companies, and led campaigns for some of the world's most recognized companies (ABC, CBS, Discovery, BBC, Facebook, Apple, Intel, Virgin, and many more). A proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Shirin founded OML TV, a popular platform dedicated to streaming and curating quality, queer female, video content and OML Originals, a female led production company telling diverse female stories through a vast spectrum of film and television genres. Today, Shirin guides seekers in her six-week program, Free to Be, to disconnect their human "being" from their human "doing" to find true and lasting fulfillment. She lives in Marin County, California, with her wife and two children.
