    Advocacy in Action: One woman’s story of thriving with disabilities

    Disability Consultant & Counsellor, Tara Geraghty-Ellis, had a difficult start after being born with Spina bifida and Hydrocephalus. She was initially given only a 10% chance of survival, but beat the odds and defied doctors’ expectations. Later, as the only child with a disability in her school, she endured bullying and harassment from students and teachers. Over time, Tara worked through her trauma, acknowledging and accepting her emotions, and made the conscious choice to be a happy, successful person. Tara embraces all of the experiences that have shaped her life and is now on a mission to bring people together and advocate for those with disabilities, so they can live to their fullest potential. Tara’s hope is that people with disabilities will be seen, not just as their diagnosis, but as whole human beings with hopes and dreams.   Connect with Tara: Website www.visableandempoweredbook.com Schedule a chat https://calendly.com/taraelliscoaching/meeting   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Tara Geraghty-Ellis

    A Life Re-Imagined: Lessons of healing, resilience and embracing authenticity

    Debra Lee May is a Resiliency & Re-invention Mentor whose defining experience started with her transition from corporate America to being a stay-at-home mom to her two daughters. This significant life change challenged her sense of control, brought up trauma from her chaotic childhood and plunged Debra into depths that negatively impacted her relationships. She lost who she was and was trying to live according to other people’s expectations. Eventually, after gaining awareness and beginning her own personal development journey, Debra had an awakening that not only changed her, but those around her. She began to heal, trust herself and connect with others. Debra came to realize she shared this experience with many other women, which has led her to inspire and serve women in her work today. Debra reminds us that being real and vulnerable is what draws people to us and that there’s always better things on the other side of our difficult life experiences.   Connect with Debra: www.debraleemay.com   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Debra Lee May

    The Power of Pleasure: One woman’s journey to empowerment through sexuality

    Sacred sexual healer, Daniella Hines, had the picture-perfect life. All the boxes of what one “should” have were ticked…yet she was miserable. She didn’t know who she was and was living a life that wasn’t meant for her. After ending her marriage, Daniella decided to live in a less fearful way and began her journey to discover herself and her sexuality. She embraced the power of choice, curiousity and self-love, which brought her to an empowered place of shame-free pleasure and freedom. Along the way, she learned about the wisdom held in her body and began to trust her intuition. Daniella acknowledges that it has not always been an easy path, but both misery and joy require effort, and we all have the power to choose which one we allow to stay.     Connect with Daniella: http://daniellahines.com/   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Daniella Hines

    Beyond Boudoir: Witnessing women’s inner transformations from behind the camera

    From behind her camera, boudoir photographer, Daysy Teixeira, has been witness to many women’s transformations…from nervous and, at times, insecure to confident and empowered. Women who step into her studio are also committing to step outside their comfort zone in a big way. Daysy is passionate about creating a safe space of trust and acceptance for all women. In this space, they share a uniquely intimate experience that goes beyond beautiful pictures. The self-love that her subjects take away from the photo shoots follows these women well after the session is over. In this candid conversation, Daysy discusses her own journey to self-love and her struggle with body image, which was fraught by a lack of representation in media. She reminds us to be gentle with ourselves as we move toward accepting ourselves exactly as we are.   Connect with Daysy: Website https://boudoirbydaysy.com/ Instagram http://www.instagram.com/boudoirbydaysy Facebook http://www.facebook.com/boudoirbydaysy Podcast: Bombshell Tells All https://boudoirbydaysy.podbean.com/   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Daysy Teixeira

    Going Solo: Building courage and confidence through independent travel

    Travel writer, Catherine Smith, found her passion for solo travel by accident more than a decade ago. Since then, her adventures have brought her to New York City, Italy, New Zealand and beyond. Mostly importantly, these trips have allowed her to get to know herself more deeply and trust her intuition. People often assume travelling solo makes Catherine fearless, but she reminds us that she, like all of us, has fears. On each trip, she purposefully stretches and strengthens her “courage muscle”, allowing her to bring back more confidence, freedom and self-acceptance to her everyday life and relationships. That, she says, is where the magic is!   Connect with Catherine: Website  Herbagswerepacked.com Facebook  Facebook.com/herbagswerepacked Instagram  Instagram.com/herbagswerepacked  Twitter  Twitter.com/bagswerepacked    Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Catherine Smith

    The Power of your Period: The importance of menstrual cycle awareness

    As a Menstruality Mentor, Nikki Zavitz is on a mission to help women and womb-havers tune into their menstrual cycles. For most of her life, Nikki felt disconnected from her own body. Her first bleed brought fear and shame. The stigma and negativity around periods in our culture often creates negative stories that many of us carry around for a lifetime. Building a “red tent” on her property has created an opportunity to change that. Through her teachings, Nikki provides a safe place for womb-havers of all ages to gather, listen, share, learn and feel compassion for themselves and their cycles. She’s especially passionate about bringing this awareness to young people, so they can learn from and celebrate the natural rhythms of their bodies.   Connect with Nikki: http://www.prettyriverredtent.com/   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Nikki Zavitz

    Sitting in Stillness: Reflections from traumatic brain injury recovery

    When singer-songwriter, Raina Krangle, suffered a traumatic brain injury, her once full life came to a sudden halt. She was forced to come to terms with the realization that she wasn’t physically able to do many of the things she could before, which was frustrating and hard to accept. The healing process forced her to reflect, recognize her own limits and be okay with who and where she was. Raina slowly immersed herself back into her music, which she discovered was her way through to healing, both physically and emotionally. Raina candidly speaks about the importance of being uncomfortable with the unknown and reminds us that positive things can come out of difficult times.   Connect with Raina: https://linktr.ee/rainakranglemusic   Creator, Host, Editing & Production: Kim Short Guest: Raina Krangle

    Re-Defining Creativity: Exploring and embracing our unique gifts

    Hollis Citron is on a mission to expand the narrow, societal definition of creativity. Many people think of creativity as a very exclusive thing that only certain people who hang their works in great museums get to claim, but Hollis wants to empower people to find and use their own unique expression and voice. Whether in a classroom, business meeting or art studio, her passion is helping people explore what brings them joy and recognize that as beautiful, creative and powerful. As a former art teacher, Hollis learned many lessons, the most important of which is that people of all ages need a safe space to express themselves. Hollis reminds us to give ourselves permission to put ourselves first, let go of control and make mistakes, in order to let our creativity flow.   Connect with Hollis: Website: https://www.iamcreativephilly.net/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamcreativephilly/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/iamcreativephilly Podcast: https://creativeconversations.podbean.com.
