Jena Ochsner and I are talking more about pursuing alternative healthcare for your family, and why it’s not a bad thing to ‘go against the grain’ in this way. Jena has healed herself from the inside out. She’s passionate about living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle, and she continues advocating for herself and her family. You can find hope for healing, and get to a place of thriving and flourishing in your everyday life!
 
In this episode we will cover:
Jena’s wild story of dealing with debilitating headaches & migraines for years with no clear answers from western medicine, to eventually finding functional medicine support and reclaiming her health What MTHFR is + how eliminating folic acid and artificial dyes have greatly impacted Jena’s health  Knowing there are benefits to western medicine (and it IS needed), while also wishing western and functional medicine could work together to truly support people The ‘golden handcuffs’ that is health insurance + other insurance options that can still work for you and your family Really evaluating how certain foods and drinks make your body feel (gluten, dairy, alcohol, etc.), and the dramatic perspective shift that comes from doing so Choosing to invest in your health now, because you’ll either pay for your wellness or pay for your sickness How living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle can still exist with current farming and ag practices

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why it’s SO hard to ask for help, and even more, why you should be doing so. Women (and especially moms) are praised for being helpers, and putting everyone else first, while their needs are constantly pushed on the backburner. I mean...I myself am a thirty-something millennial mom living rural, who also was ingrained with the high-achieving, ‘do it all’ mentality for most of my life. Yeah...you could say it felt pretty unnatural for me to ask for help with my kids, house, etc., at first!
 
I know it’s SO hard to ask for help, but at the end of the day, YOU are in charge of building a beautiful life that lights you up. Sometimes that means being vulnerable, and allowing your loved ones to support you where you need it, so you can flourish in this life!
 
In this episode, we cover:
How your micro experiences from childhood shaped you, and what it looks like to bring them into adulthood Why the communication piece is VITAL in helping you not feel like a burden + finding self-awareness around what you really need Getting to the place of understanding you can’t (nor do you want) to do it ALL, and being totally okay with that Effectively tackling the conversation surrounding household division of labor + letting things go, even if they aren’t done ‘exactly’ the way you would do them Accepting the fact that other people are going to do things differently than you, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing

In today’s episode, I want to talk about seasons of change, and what happens as we continue piling on more duties, goals, responsibilities, etc., to our (already) overflowing plates. Our plates can be abundantly full of things we love and enjoy, but when we continue adding without removing anything, we start to feel exhausted, drained, and ultimately, like we’re not ‘enough’. So many of us fall into the trap of chasing achievement and praise, and we think that if we choose to shift our priorities and give something up along the way, we’ll be deemed a failure. I’m here to tell you that this is NOT the case.
 
In this episode, we cover:
Taking the time to inventory what’s actually on your ‘plate’, and if it’s something that belongs there (or doesn’t) Focusing on work that really lights you up and serves you well in your current season My recent experience with bringing my 5 month old to the Ascend retreat + my realization surrounding the impact and value I still provided for the women there Getting purposeful about your priorities + honoring your energy during times of chaos and uncertainty Understanding that you have more power over your reality and your circumstances than you may think

I’m excited to have my amazing friend, Calli Thorne, as today’s podcast guest! Calli and I are talking all about mindset and mental health, and what the work looks like when you’re truly ready to change your mindset. Changing your mindset is a paradigm shift, and you HAVE to be willing to dig into the thoughts and feelings you’re having on a daily basis, if you want to change your circumstances. We’re also discussing what mental health first aid is, why it’s important that we take time to listen and give people a chance to share how they’re (really) doing, how to start having more conversations about mental health with your loved ones (especially when those deep-rooted, intergenerational stigmas are very present), and more.
 
In this episode, we will cover:
How you can begin changing your mindset + the work that actually goes into doing so Where people can begin if they’re ready for therapy, coaching, or any other mental health resources How to start having more conversations about mental health with those closest to you Learning to define what a successful, well-rounded life looks like for YOU The number one thing that affects most people when they struggle and experience life’s challenges Applauding yourself for what you’re doing + choosing to say ‘no’ to those things that aren’t priorities or bring value to your life

Kari Jo and I are talking all about the power of the pivot, and what it looks like to take riskier pursuits alongside a more ‘safe’ career choice. We’re digging into the importance of gaining clarity and really shifting your perspective when it comes to living your life (without letting other people’s opinions factor into this), how a high achievement-oriented personality can show up for business owners, the whirlwind of emotions that come with going in a completely new direction in business, mindset blocks and limiting beliefs that tend to plague many entrepreneurs, and more.
Kari Jo was born and raised in rural West Central Illinois. She grew up with a passion for agriculture and pursued a doctorate of veterinary medicine (DVM) at Oklahoma State University. Less than a year after graduating, she started a side hustle selling t-shirts online to help pay for plane tickets home. Little did she know that this would grow into (mostly) her full-time job. There have been a few twists and turns through the years, but she still loves practicing 2 days a week, and even owns an event venue downtown in her hometown.
 
In this episode, we will cover:
Gaining clarity and shifting your perspective of how you truly want to live YOUR life (no matter what anyone else thinks)  What led Kari Jo to recently rebrand and pivot her business + the many mixed emotions that pop up when you’re making big changes in your business Finding acceptance in knowing that you’re making the best decision and going in the right direction, even when you feel uncertain and uncomfortable Limiting beliefs and mindset challenges that come with being a small business owner in a small town
