Owning Her Health Podcast

Episode 34 features Warrior Goddess Tina Busby who is a Charlotte, NC based mental health advocate on a divine mission to take the shame out of the mental disease. Tina has experienced her own battles and wins and offers insight on the journey.  Attention Those With Depression Tina's Episode was one of my final episodes recorded in late 2017 and highlights the woes of winter, especially around the holidays and the expectations of the new year. The conversation is especially helpful for reframing depression and the stories that feed into the illness. It also went heavy in the second half into the needs for us to enhance a sisterhood that understands how to use their masculine form of the feminine as well as the divine feminine within the female form.  It is energy and not body parts.  Soul Food Our Wisdom Chat was one part girlfriend chat, one part high priestess and one part survivor.One of my favorite takeaways happens about halfway in where we begin to speak about being a woman experiencing any struggle, on

Episode 32 features a leader with Momma friendly fitness focused on regaining control over your core! Bethany Learn, Founder of Fit2B Studio is a long time advocate and trainer in the fitness industry who is focused on connecting women with their cores but not just on the physical level. I unfortantely got this episode out a little later than expected so ignore some of the Thanksgiving talk but when I got it back from editing, it suddenly did not feel right as part of a Thanksgiving Trilogy with episodes 30 and 31 that I had originally intended.  Had to Go With Instinct on This one Beth Learn's Goddess Share feels much more like a mid December new Moon kind of thing so I held it. Relistening to this talk on how we can empower our sons and daughters when we reclaim the power of our mama rich bodies was definitely a New Moon, nearest the dark moon and longest night of the year perfect conversation.  When we recorded, we had not yet reached the peak of the last roll of the #MeToo and the federal declarations tha

Episode 31 is yet another powerful treat for this Thanksgiving week of gratitude. I have such respect for the women like this episode's featured Goddess Amy Wheeler, who has come into this tribe and my inner circle of inspiring sisters.  Dr. Amy Wheeler is is a Doctor of Education and Psychology and a mentor for many in the yoga therapy and academic world for several years. Her resume on living this life as a goddess of service is impressive. Like me, Amy studied extensively in the more classical application of yoga for deep inner transformation and teaches from a practice of spirituality and science.  Traveling to India many times, she has solid roots in the T. Krishnamacharya Tradition which helps her blend her western scientific studies of understanding the mind's influence with the eastern medicine traditions.  In this episode we discuss:  How her work in Psychology has been evolving to combine the yoga with the science, especially in being an evolved woman. Amy's take on how her personal story as it has

Beth is dealing with end stage organ failure and gives the Guru Goddess Tribe an unique opportunity to be inspired by a vibrant woman who has decided to not follow the rules, will not play the victim of her circumstance and is truly using all her life experiences as a mother, an artist, a budding integrative health entrepreneur, traveler and physical therapist to be a catalyst for healing herself and inspiring others.   Beth's Story Beth describes herself as a healer and is licensed to treat as a Physical Therapist for two decades.

Warning: This episode may be a trigger to some unresolved childhood emotions.  Episode 27 is a deeper continuation of the conversation we began last episode with the influence our mothers have or lack of mothering can have on the rest of our lives as #HER daughter. We dig deeper into the energetic body perspectives of the goddess energies of reflecting and receptive Mother Vibe. There are various forms of Mothering energy. It is a feminine, caring, compassionate energy but it can also be authoritative, needy, demanding and distant due to health and relationship challenges going on with the women we reflect We discuss the various forms of Mothering energy we all have to move from potential to taking action in our social circles. It is a feminine, caring, compassionate energy but it can also be authoritative, needy, demanding and distant due to health and relationship challenges going on with the women we reflect   How there is a feminine, caring, the compassionate energy that can also turn authoritative, ne

Hello and Welcome to a Mother of an Episode in 26! Every woman I have ever helped or been in conversation with can relate to the challenge of being a woman who knew or never really got to know the inner thoughts and challenges of her mother. Every woman I have ever helped or been in conversation with can relate to the challenge of being a woman who knew or never really got to know the inner thoughts and challenges of her mother but did you know that contact set a blueprint for your entire health story?  In Part one... I open up the conversation to one of the most complicated health challenges of owning our health as a daughter or as the mother.  We often do not realize that our own health begins in utero and research is uncovering how our health begins with triggers upon our mothers and grandmothers and her grandmother generations before. Do you know the emotional health of your mother when you were conceived? When working with women in pain, Her story, intertwined with your does matter. This is an episode we

Episode 25 breaks apart the belief that Pleasure is so taboo -   The time has come to talk about sex in a more spiritual, soul filling way and my guest Irene Fehr is all about that!  Are you so scared to ask for it, receive it, surrender to it, and give yourselves permission to like sex, money or power? Has life or pain filled up so much that you can't enjoy it? This episode is going to open your mind up to how your ability to be intimate can deeply affect your psyche and invade your physical health, self-view, lifestyle, success, and pain!   The Guilt, The Fear Around Wanting it Better   I know many conservative women in my old clinical practice struggled with the guilt, fear, and authority to call the shots in the bedroom. I have seen how that inner dialogue can play off as pain in the body. I have seen some pretty tight pelvic floors and stress related conditions show up in the muscles of the pelvis, jaw, hips and low back and upon healing, we find that this pattern of hold in the body had much more to do

This episode of Owning HER Health is REALLY about self-ownership. I extend the talk of my previous feminine power episode and takes us deeper into why women leaders sometimes delay their rise by remaining in mindsets that keep us in the wrong circles for success. Do we run away from our highest potential to lead merely because we chose to feed into our ego, our fears and not nourish our upcoming grandeur? This episode offers ideas about exploring that. Note: Today’s episode is sponsored by MBody360.io and MindBodyBrandAcademy.com. Today's goddess chat comes from a place I stepped into hard with a challenge to own my transition out of day to day clinician care as my career identity and look deeper into what still makes me tick while making money by the end of 2017.  I have been very intrigued by a common tendency I see to run away instead of rising and I don't believe the issue is confidence.  This is not helping the need for visible female leaders. We need to see lots of examples so that we can develop our ow

Episode 22 So how does a stay at home mom move from dealing with the sudden onset of a child's illness to being a firecracker speaker while also leading her team of wellness women to new heights?  Find out in Episode 22 of Owing HER Health where I interview Charlotte based Health Entrepreneur, Kim Wojnowich on doing just that. Kim challenges other moms out there to Be Brave. As a mentor for a growing business, a speaker and a mom, wife, friend and daughter amongst her many roles, she is working on doing just that!   We sat down recently to discuss how she went from knowing nothing about selling and building teams to now leading one. We also spoke about her experience Owning HER daughter's health and finding ways to help others navigate autoimmune disease. According to The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, there are now 50 million americans with some form of autoimmune disease . Her mother and daughter were two of them. When her daughter was diagnosed at such a young age her eyes really opened

Laura is a licensed doctor of physical therapy specializing in Women's Health and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, as well as a certified Women's Health and Functional Nutrition Coach through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute (IWHI).

From that experience, Laura wrote and taught the Nutrition Pre- and Post- Abdominal and Pelvic Surgery course for the IWHI.

IN Episode 19 I had the pleasure of interviewing Prominent Yoga Therapist, Business Coach and Yoga for Survivors(R) creator Laura Kupperman in a very Matriarch Wisdom conversation that held the amazing energy of two passion filled entrepreneurs that are inspired by their feminine wisdom. Laura has been featured in numerous media outlets such as The Elephant Journal, LiveStrong Quarterly and Los Angeles Times for her leading lady work in Yoga Therapy and Business mentoring.  So what makes this episode different than my others?  This is the first episode I had the opportunity to talk shop with my lady biz mentoring hat on. We cover several important topics women who lead, whether at home or out in the world, need to know so for those of you who are struggling with that bolder voice, this will be an energetically lifting episode for you.  This is also the first episode where my featured guest was talking from a place of such relevant loss as woman, the loss of her own mother at ten years old which I found to be

Warning Episode 18 may trigger feelings of discomfort or victimization. This goddess chat is for those of you that struggle with digging deep into your mud to change.  It will be hosted both on my You Tube HERE and the podcast because I am hoping to get some thoughts back from you about making personal development tools like self reflection and the resultant transformation less scary in your life! We all Self Edit Change I begin by exploring our own barriers against growth and change and welcoming transformation even when our lives are a struggle and go into exploring some of the ways I changed my perspective on what success meant especially: The surprise I found when life presented me when motherhood Why owning my feminine feelings opened my eyes to the social bias I, even as a strong, productive maiden had absorbed moving up the ladder of 1970's- 1990's career success. About 12.5 minutes in I turn the questions onto you, the audience to share in this conversation.  How can I best serve you to Own Your Hea

Episode 17 Comes at you after a bit of a Spring Break for me and proves that through the vocation of motherhood and marriage we are still evolving into our world based purpose and grandeur.   In this chat I speak with a yoga educator friend and former client Mama Guru Maria Griemel, RYT. Maria is currently living in Germany after a life living in the Eastern World and the USA and we discuss the layer social conditioning plays into how we carry our pains as women and the honoring of the work of our body.  In this episode we discuss... How do we as women determine our personal value and success. How our health in the relationship we hold with our value in ourself affects our mind and relationships and value in the world. Why is it so important to hold onto our personal stories as sacred and not lose our personal life in the role of Mama Guru Her hard personal lessons dealing with post partum energy drains, dutiful wife and extended family expectations, setting boundaries and recovering from chronic pain. How c

They showed up reminding me of my inner Guru Gal energies of joy and laughter in balance with getting down to business and nurturing the world.  This episode is filled with several K.I.S.S. ideas like easy DIY products to save your lungs and livers using natural materials you likely already have at home and lots of Great Links Below!

Reduction of toxins in our homes was the main topic but then something really awesome and cool happened, that only a room filled with women can bring forth, we naturally began to expand our talk into how having the power to help ourselves is a way to actually expand and change our world Our generational Woman's Circle on that starts around minute *18:
