I recently held an event to uplift and nurture women. I had several beautiful women speak on the power of nutrition, confidence, femininity, hormones and nature. Aubrey Taylor, a returning guest on my podcast, spoke on the power of nature and was truly inspiring! The women were in awe of the healing capacity and influence right in their own fingers tips and right out their own front door. Mother nature is powerful and wise and so incredibly healing. Aubrey shares insight and wisdom on the healing power of sunlight, moonlight, plants, soil, and fresh air. Nature supports and benefits our hormones, gut, brain, emotions, and femininity. Grab a blanket, cup of tea and head outside to listen to a podcast sure to inspire and nourish you.

Understandably women (and men) often have a negative perspective on periods, cycles, menopause and hormones but what if we changed our perspective? In this podcast I share a new way to think about the menstruation cycle. Why we have fluctuating emotions, cramps, bloating, weight gain and sleep issues. Join me in switching to a healing and supportive perspective. One that includes, compassion, understanding and respect. In this way we facilitate healthy relationships, healing, success and a happier life. We do this by honoring the miraculous body. 

Did you know that in 1822 the average American consumed 45 grams of sugar. In 2012 the average American consumed 765 grams of processed sugar. YIKES! That is 130 pounds a year, 3 pound a week and 3,550 pounds in the average life-time. This equals 1,767,900 skittles which equals a dumpster size container. This is deeply harmful because processed sugar has zero vitamins, zero minerals, zero enzymes and zero fiber. It provides nothing constructive but does cause damage. Sugar leaches nutrients from the cells and bones. This directly affects our emotions and body contributing to depression, anxiety, joint pain, weight gain, inflammation and diseases. But natural sugar is full of vitamins and minerals. Also the good news is that there are so many options to enjoy food that tastes delicious and is full of nutrients. Decide on one goal to start today that will support your mental and physical health including your hormones. Grab my recipe book, packed with recipes that are full of nutrition and tastes delicious. https://cynthiasumner.net/product/recipe-book/And visit me on instagram for free tips and recipes @thehealingfood

I have a friend who many years ago was experiencing such heavy bleeding in her menopausal years that she could hardly function. She ended up with a full hysterectomy and what followed was disheartening. She ended up with some horrible sided effects from the surgery. I remember thinking how unfair that was and how frustrating that there were no remedies presented to her that would support healing at the root. Although I had been in the whole healing field for many years I did not know how to help her either. Unfortunately I have had a handful of women in the past that I did not know how to help, the protocol that worked for many women, didn't for them. Hitting perimenopause a few years ago sparked in me the desire to study and learn what I need, what those women back then needed and what all women need to feel better. I know now that my friend with the heavy bleeding most likely had a congested liver and was probably severely low in progesterone. I am dedicated to sharing information that we as women need to thrive through menopause! Here you will find a helpful overview and tips that work!  Don't wait around suffering, start taking small steps that address the root cause, so you can feel better.

Napoleon Hill said, "If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way." I believe it is our birthright to meet the end of our day feeling fulfilled and happy despite hardships and mistakes. That we don't have to wait until we meet our big goals, be perfect or accomplish our entire to-do list to feel happy. Listen here to feel comfort in the truth that you are blessed every day and you are succeeding every day. You are meant to be happy and and successful and it only takes you allowing and choosing it. 

I new I had power to create the life I wanted but it felt like I had been set up to fail because I couldn't figure out how to apply the principle. Until... I had a meeting with my best mentor, God, who told me that it wasn't that I couldn't figure it out, it wasn't that I couldn't have what I wanted. It was that I needed to heal something. Or that I needed to learn something or do something. That guidance changed my life! It was so refreshing to feel hope and to take the judgement off myself. I believe everything is working for our good which means if we allow the process, let go and let God and take the action we are feeling to take then we will experience success. Paul Makenna said, "Never let obstacles prevent you from getting things done." We are all born with the gift of choice and intuition, as you seek to heal, learn and take action you will know what you need right now.

This podcast is a spontaneous recording of a few thoughts I have on food, to bring support as you navigate incorporating wholesome ingredients to your diet. I share here why it matters, how to nurture your relationship with food, how to get real results and most important- how to enjoy your food too. 

How to know if the pain means you shouldn't do the thing or if it means you should do the thing. We have a negative mind and a positive mind. The negative mind is our protector, our warning system. The positive mind is our expander, our side that helps us see all the possibilities. Both are important and when they work together they support our success. Often times when we are expanding whether by choice or because of circumstances, the warning system goes off to guard and protect us. Listen here for steps and ideas that can help you work through this natural process and to move forward allowing you to grow, progress and fulfill your purpose. 

When my dear friend realized no matter what she does someone doesn't like it, she decided to just be her authentic self. What peace and power that afforded her! In this episode be inspired by thoughts of true joy and personal power. We are meant to be happy and successful. Sometimes that takes getting out of our comfort zone, letting others disagree with us or misunderstand us and love ourselves the way we are so we can become more.

Learn where to find true peace and next level peace and self development. The natural man tends to seek for love, value and acceptance from outside sources (object referral). Often that expresses in a way of perfectionism, in ourselves and others. It also can cause discord, confusion and judgment on ourselves and others. Our spirit, our higher self seeks for peace from a place that never changes, a place that is reliable and powerful. This place doesn't take from others and never runs out. This place is self love (self Referal/truth). Listen in to discover what places you are working from and how you can gain not only peace but growth and success. 

Letting go of control is gaining control. It's allowing the proper healing, it's getting in the flow.

When we intentionally choose we are set free. We always have a choice! If you are choosing to stay in a circumstance, a relationship, a situation- do it because you choose, not because you have to. Often we FEEL like we don't have a choice, or we FEEL like we have to do something or that we can't have or do something we need or desire but the truth is we block ourselves by way of perspective or attitude. Set yourself free by intentionally choosing. It all depends on what you put your Attention on and what your Intention is. Refer to Dr. Jennifer Finlayson- Fife's podcast: Coping with Conflict, Moving Past Losing Strategies and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
