Intuitive eating is one of three parts of Intuitive Living and it is a powerful approach to developing a healthy relationship with food and your body. It's an eating style that promotes a healthy attitude toward food AND body image.
Intuitive Eating is actually a book that's an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, created by two dietitians:
Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995.

Most Cancer movies and series end with death 😒 Where are all the #SuccessStories? Of course there is compassion for all those that have lost their lives to cancer.
These movies and series that perpetuate CANCER = DEATH causes a vicious cycle of exactly that because our words are powerful! Even Bruce Lee once said: "Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you're not changing, you're also choosing."
Being a #CancerSurvivor and more so THRIVER, I would love to see more of the success stories being portrayed to inspire people and give them hope that ANYTHING is possible! There are TONS of success stories globally, yet none of those stories are being told. What if more of these success stories would be told, imagine what THAT would create?

Did you know the weight loss or more so weight management industry is a multi billion dollar industry?
The 80/20 rule is not about strict diets or depriving yourself of your favorite foods. It's about adopting a sustainable approach to healthy eating. By allowing yourself some flexibility, you can maintain a balanced relationship with food while still nourishing your body.
It's important to remember that healthy eating is a long-term commitment, and strict diets often lead to feelings of restriction and can be hard to stick to. With the 80/20 rule, you can enjoy your favorite indulgences occasionally WITHOUT feeling guilty. The beauty of the 80/20 rule is it helps you develop a healthy mindset around food and prevents the feeling of being on a constant "diet." It encourages you to make healthier choices most of the time while still allowing room for occasional treats or special occasions.
As humans, our nature is to want what we can't have, so what do you think restricting does to your mind? Besides DIET is temporary - once you reach your goal whether it's the weight or clothes size, then what?? A true Healthy Lifestyle is one that you can maintain for LIFE! And when following the Golden 80/20 rule, you don't have restrictions! It's also NOT about being perfect, rather about finding balance and enjoying the journey towards a healthier lifestyle while approaching healthy eating as a lifestyle, not a short-term fix. By following the 80/20 rule and making conscious choices, you can create sustainable habits that support your overall well-being!

The EGO says: Everything will fall into place only then will I feel at peace.
The Higher Self says: I find my peace within and everything else falls into place!
Learning to differentiate between who you ARE and who you are NOT is a significant part of your Self-Discovery. Understanding the differences and dynamics between these two aspects of your being is essential for fostering personal growth, self-awareness, and inner harmony.
The concept of the higher self and the ego has been a topic of exploration in various spiritual and psychological philosophies especially in the recent years. The higher self, which is often referred to as the true self or authentic self,
represents your inner essence, who you were born as, untouched by any external influence, such as your parents or guardians, or societal conditioning, like school and such. It embodies your deepest aspirations, values, and spiritual connection. It is the source of our inner guidance and serves as a compass for our journey towards self-realization.
On the contrary, when you are not in your natural state, who you were born as, you are coming from Survival Mechanism, fear, and protection. You are often living in a story about the past or your concerns about the future. In the present moment, your full experience of love, joy, power, and connection is blocked. Typically, this happens when you get triggered, scared, or some story that’s typically a pattern in your life happens.
This is when the ego takes over, which is what develops psychologically as a result of our interactions with the external world. It is shaped by societal norms, parental & cultural influences, and of course personal experiences.

Have you noticed we ALL have some kind of inner guidance? WHEN we are connected to our higher self, that inner wisdom, your intuition is the strongest and clearest.
With animals, it's an instinct and with us you could say instinct, however as you develop and master your intuition, you may receive that inner guidance in several ways.
Much like you have five physical senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling, we each have the ability to experience or develop 8 “CLAIR” senses aka spiritual psychic senses, 5 of which are primary ways and, 3 are secondary ways to intuitively receive information.
The 5 primary Clair senses or spiritual senses are: clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairaudience, clairempathy, & clairsentience.
And the 3 secondary are: clairtangency, clairsalience, & clairgustance.
To develop your Intuition, it may be helpful to know that most individuals begin by having a dominant way of receiving intuitive information. As you practice your skills more consistently, other Intuitive Senses may also begin to grow and expand.
Following your intuition knowing it's always in your highest good solves any indecisiveness you may experience! Your intuition will guide to you to the best path for you when you listen & trust your intuition.
When you use your body’s intelligence and intuition on EVERYTHING it allows you to live life with EASE!

We all have 6 core emotions that all others fall under one of these CORE emotions: JOY, SADNESS, ANGER, FEAR, DISGUST, & SURPRISE.
We create stories throughout our lives, many of which are based on those childhood experiences and we give meaning to what's happened to us. Some experiences have us create UNREAL FEAR in our minds. This does not mean the emotion of FEAR is unreal. REAL fear includes those external FEARS like someone holding a gun to the head RIGHT NOW or being chased by a lion, tiger or bear in the PRESENT moment, which is REAL FEAR from external stimuli. UNREAL FEAR on the other hand are fears we create based on something that happened to us or something someone said, or a statistic, or whatever it may be which can also include PTSD
or fear of the future based on past experiences.
We have a CHOICE – to CHOOSE the FEAR story OR Create a new one! A story that SPARKS YOUR JOY! Where the thought of it will make you smile from ear to ear within seconds, FEELING that JOY exploding inside of you and oozing out of you, which is a much higher vibe than FEAR and even above the LOVE Frequency!
Once you ACCEPT your fears as an INTERPRETATION within your mind, and realize it's an UNREAL FEAR, then you can shift! Because this type of FEAR is in your imagination, so it's FICTIONAL and therefore UNREAL!

A trigger is a trigger, we ALL have them and we each can CHOOSE to either react in the moment OR recognize them and walk away until we cool down to talk again when we connect to our Higher Self.
We have certain traumatic experiences at some point in our life, most likely childhood, and with that traumatic event, the brain often ingrains sensory stimuli into memory so when a person encounters the same stimuli in different context,
the trigger is associates with the trauma from a past experience.
In some cases, a sensory trigger can cause an emotional reaction without any awareness before a person realizes why they are upset, which can be disrupted through higher consciousness and practice before getting to that explosion mode.
What’s worse with such limiting beliefs and triggers, we attract various scenarios into our life that bring about the same trigger until we CHOOSE to use that trigger to guide us and HEAL that layer, viewing it as a GIFT.
Your TRIGGERS reveal what still lives within you and what hasn't been healed!

Dr. Rachael is not your run-of-the-mill psychologist. She's a Stanford-trained psychologist turned Defy Relationship Conformity Clini-Coach® ️whose specialty is helping people navigate the world of ethical non-monogamy (aka ENM) without all the fear of judgment, jealousy, or damaged relationships. Dr. Rachael grew up with the same old story we've all heard – find a partner, tie the knot, have some kids, work your tail off for ages, and finally retire to enjoy life. But instead, she decided to go off-script and take some risks that most of us wouldn't even consider.
After saying "I do," she ventured into the swinging lifestyle and, for the past 3.5 years, she's been in a polytriad/throuple relationship with her husband, Aaron, and fiancé, Kasey…not your typical suburban setup. Although the initial plan was to start a family by age 30, instead of having kids, Dr. Rachael and her husband found themselves on the Dr. Phil Show advocating for a "childfree by choice" lifestyle.
At 36, after climbing the corporate ladder and never feeling like there was an end in sight, she quit her job and escaped the dreaded "rat race." She headed to Mexico for a three-year stint as an expat where she became an entrepreneur in a foreign land, and has never looked back.
Dr. Rachael's story is all about embracing the unknown and finding beauty in the unexpected. While most folks stick to what's comfy and familiar, she's here to tell us that there's something magical about stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing new adventures.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex. There are seven major chakras in the human body located at (1) the base of the spine, (2) near the navel, (3) at the solar plexus, (4) in the middle of the chest, (5) in the throat, (6) the centre of the brow and (7) the crown of the head. In addition, there are more than twenty minor chakras, such as in the palms of the hands, on the knees, and on the soles of the feet. A healthy chakra vibrates evenly in a circular motion, resembling a funnel which is fairly narrow close to the body, but which becomes wider as it gets further out.

As I always say, the greater the pain & struggle, the greater the gain & gratitude! Of course I’ve also learned that we don’t HAVE to experience pain & struggle to leap into our next level.
However it’s by overcoming adversity that we learn to become resilient and stronger AND have more gratitude for the times we are ALIVE & High Vibing!
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that achieving our goals and dreams requires hard work, struggle, and sacrifice.
This "No Pain, No Gain" mindset suggests that success can ONLY be attained through blood, sweat, and tears.
On the other hand, there's a growing movement centered around manifesting with ease, which encourages us to focus on aligning our thoughts, beliefs, and intentions to effortlessly attract what we desire.
When you make a conscious effort to be in control of your thoughts, which then create emotions and have set your intentions, then manifestation can seem like MAGIC!
Setting an intention and creating a future vision you live into is key for manifestation to happen.
Now which approach is essential for personal growth and success?

Enablement is "the action of giving someone the authority or means to do something."
In psychotherapy and mental health, enabling does have a positive sense of empowering individuals, BUT it can also have a negative sense of encouraging dysfunctional behavior.
Entitlement is " the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment", even if that means it has not been earned.
Enabling someone to behave a certain way can lead to entitlement rather than appreciation & gratitude at times, so of course there is that part of taking responsibility for the enablement AND taking action to put an end to enabling the same behavior.
People act entitled in relationships because they are overcompensating for never getting what they want OR are comfortable in always getting what they want.
When enablement is not balanced with the development of personal responsibility and accountability, it can unintentionally lead to entitlement.
Enablement can also be positive when individuals are given the necessary tools, resources, and opportunities to achieve their goals or fulfill their needs.
It can be empowering as it encourages people to become more self-sufficient, confident, and capable in various aspects of their lives.
Most times this begins at a young age.There is a fine line between enabling and encouraging kids to follow their intuition AND guiding them as parents.
It's why they say behind every entitled child is an enabling parent.

Your brain generates enough electricity to power a lightbulb! Your brain contains about 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons.
Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see, exercise, move, or anything really it’s because tiny chemical and electrical signals are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron highways.
Your brain activity NEVER STOPS! Neurons transmit information between each other through chemical and ELECTRICAL signals via synapses forming neural networks, those neuron highways, which is a series of interconnected neurons.
This is what is meant by “the wiring of the brain” or “neurons that fire together, wire together”.
It's like having a supercharged pinball machine with countless messages zipping all around every second.
We have 5 main brain waves depending on our state of mind, which have frequency associated to them ranging from 0 Hz - 100Hz:
DELTA, THETA, ALPHA, BETA, & GAMMA.

PART 2 (PART 1 EPISODE #14)
"Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity” - Brene Brown (2012)
Emotional vulnerability is most typically felt as anxiety due to the fear of the future, which is what anxiety really is: worrying about the FUTURE.
Whether that's fear of being rejected, shamed, or judged as inadequate and the underlying reason people avoid it is to protect themselves from getting hurt.
It may show up as passive aggressiveness, anger, silent treatment, pride or even aggression.
In 2012 Brene Brown defined emotional vulnerability as “uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure”.
Be open to sharing what you feel and taking those risks, WHEN your intuition tells you that the risk is well worth it!
Vulnerability is a strength, and that is POWERFUL!
Listen to learn how to embrace your own vulnerability and of those you love.
