    84. Turn Down the Noise

    What is the external noise that you're taking in?

    We live in a unique time when it comes to technology and our subconscious mind is becoming hijacked. This puts us in a place of fear versus a place of love, which can feel disorienting and isolating. So, how do you overcome it? Let's talk about it in today's episode.

    83. The Journey of Becoming with Jenn Walker

    83. The Journey of Becoming with Jenn Walker

    My guest today is Jenn Walker.

    Jenn Walker has kayaked with monkeys in Thailand, sailed the Nile in Egypt, summited Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, jumped out of a plane twice, and completed a 50-mile UltraMarathon once just to see if she could.

    She’s studied kinesiology, psychology, and even a short stint in osteopathy. She is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), a certified personal trainer and an award winning salesperson. She’s worked with world-class athletes, high-level consultants, international pop stars and even an Everest summiter. She integrates mindfulness and Vipassana Meditation into her daily life, and is also a self-proclaimed Neuroscience nerd. 

    That exuberance for life and education extends to her business, where she helps heart-centered entrepreneurs tap into their limitless power and potential so that they can make the impact they are meant to make in our world.

    Jenn’s asset is not only her understanding of the mind-body connection, but how integral the connection is for the success of both a healthy business and a healthy life.

    Her unconventional coaching style integrates standard systems and structures mixed with somatic practices. Jenn says, “Business is simple, but not always easy” — she is here to help with the not-so-easy parts.  

    In today's episode, we talk all about gender roles and toxic masculinity, breaking out of living in fear, why it's important to stop forcing yourself into certain decisions, trusting the universe and so much more!

    82. The Journey of Becoming with Dr. Heather Denniston

    My guest today is Dr. Heather Denniston.

    Dr. Denniston is a wellness strategist for elite leaders and their teams, bridging the connection between personal well-being and professional success. 
    She provides custom solutions for burnout and stress and facilitates cohesive habit-training strategies that maximize vitality, productivity and resilience.
    Her Wellness Amplifier Performance Program is sourced from 25 years of private practice working with companies from small start-ups to global giants like Microsoft. The goal of this program is to identify factors that deplete energy, limit performance, and squash potential and to create an ongoing pattern of self-fueled performance and reward.
    As a keynote speaker she motivates audiences covering topics from health and wellness to stress and resilience. Slinging wellness truth-bombs tied together in an undeniably approachable delivery, Dr. Denniston is clearly passionate about equipping employees and teams with wellness strategy to amplify their impact in the world.
    Having worked with thousands of patients over her 25-year chiropractic history, Dr. Denniston has a solution and progress-based approach to 1:1 coaching relationships. Her primary objective is to focus on key shifts that garner the greatest optimization.
    She is the also the author of Three Day Reset and a regular contributor to several online wellness publications such as Thrive Global and Medium.
    In today's conversation, we talk about why it's not always great to be around like-minded people, how to cultivate the community you desire, the power of asking others for help and learning to hold compassion for yourself.

    80. The Journey of Becoming with Alyssa Rocco

    80. The Journey of Becoming with Alyssa Rocco

    My guest today is Alyssa Rocco.

    For the last 20 years, Alyssa has led an inspired journey. After spending nearly a decade in the biotech industry participating in the launch of two successful life changing medicines for Cystic Fibrosis and Hepatitis C, she still felt like there was something missing in her life. After one session with a coach at Handel Group, she quickly discovered what was missing – she wasn’t living true to her own dreams; she wasn’t happy; and she didn’t know how to become happy.
    This realization inspired a journey: Alyssa became a coach, changed careers, transformed the dynamic in her family, navigated addiction, fully recovered from a bout with cancer, and confronted how to create and maintain great relationships in her life. Over nearly a decade, she brought a deep understanding of the Handel Method® to her work with clients, students at MIT, Columbia University and the New York School system and in major launches including Mark Hyman’s 10 Day Detox Diet and the build, test and launch of Inner.U, Handel Group’s first digital course. Most recently, Alyssa embarked on a mission independent from Handel Group to re-design how mental health issues are understood and discussed. Alyssa is currently coaching clients and brings multiple modalities to her work.
    Alyssa grew up in Boston and received her Bachelor’s degree in communication, film and technical writing from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and her Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from the Massachusetts School of Psychology. She is currently training with Marianne Williamson to be a certified Miracle-Minded Coach incorporating the principles of A Course in Miracles in her work. She is certified in process improvement techniques and six sigma practices. She is a dancer and practices 5 Rhythms dance. Alyssa lives in sunny Venice California.
    In today's conversation, we talk all about having radical accountability with ourselves, the importance of having close friendships and ending one's that don't serve you, the decision to lead a life of sobriety, and how to stay committed to that. Tune into today's episode!

Becoming by unbecoming

I loved this reflection on Becoming who we are. I was blessed to be one of the 18 women on the Retreat in Xialani, Mexico. I love when Shirlee talked about borrowed bravery. As women we have been borrowing bravery from each other since the beginning of time. I believe it is in those times when we share with other women in a safe environment, we can truly bee ourselves and reclaim what we have lost in the business of our lives. A wonderful dive into how we can support each other and remember who we came here to become❤️ Amazing Shirlee! Many thanks 🙏

We need more of these conversations

In a world that is so happy to tell you what to do I really value how Shirlee approaches her guests and conversations. Each episode has a story, a relatable moment or something that inspires me to find a deeper level of trust, confidence or level within myself. The perfect coffee and connection podcast.
