    Happiness is an inside job

    Happiness is an inside job

    Hey there! In this episode, I'm just gonna chat about something super important: happiness!

    I spill the tea on why happiness isn't something you find in fancy cars, big houses, or Instagram likes. It really truly comes from deep within you. I jabber on about my own stories and share nuggets of wisdom what I've learned about true joy and fulfillment.

    Happiness is a choice we make every day.

    What happens when you stop trying to control everything.

    What happens when you stop trying to control everything.

    Today I share how I'm learning (emphases on the ING) how by letting go of trying to control everything and embracing change actually makes life easier. I'd say it's one of the benefits of aging for sure. The older we get the less we care so much about shit.
    In this episode I talk about ditching overthinking and trusting your instincts more, about opening up to outcomes outside of your expectations.

    Join me for a real, no-bs conversation about  surrendering to life's flow.

    Want me to share my NWM story and my thoughts on the industry? Drop a message into my inbox here: @iamshanarecker. Or if you have any other topic you want me to talk about.

    Loving ourselves no matter what our size.

    Loving ourselves no matter what our size.

    As I get older, I can't help but think about the whole weight and body image thing.  I've had my share of ups and downs when it comes to my body, and I'm sure you can relate. 

    But you know what I've come to realize? It's all about embracing and loving yourself, no matter what size you are. ❤️
    Let's collectively ditch the overthinking about our size and celebrate our bodies for all the amazing things they can do! 🎉 So here's to self-love, acceptance, and rocking our unique sizes with style and grace!

    Perimenopause. We really need to talk about it.

    Perimenopause. We really need to talk about it.

    Talking all about perimenopause today. This has been a huge topic of conversation in my home and with friends as I am fully into my own menopause journey. 

    I share with you what my experience has been so far as well as sharing symptoms, how it's been for my husband, to what it's been like dealing with doctors trying to find relief. I share my frustrations and more. 

    It's my hope that this episode helps more women realize they aren't going crazy or dying of some weird disease... that it's most likely PERIMENOPAUSE.

    2023 the year I burned it all down

    2023 the year I burned it all down

    Oh hi 👋🏼👋🏼 

    Long time no chat... 

    Soooo I'm ready to re-emerge from my 2023 cocoon and get back into the groove with my love of talking and sharing on this podcast!  

    Today I share experiences and reflections on my personal and professional life and why 2023 was the year I burned it all down and now I'm ready to start rebuilding!!

    I've been feeling the nudge big time to get back to sharing on this platform and have conversations about ALL THE THINGS including, but not limited to: menopause, career changes, personal development, entrepreneurship, and whatever else happens to be on my mind at the time. 💁🏼‍♀️

    My new mission here is to create a space for open, honest and REAL conversations about all the things.

    No idea where we're going... but I'm certain we'll have some fun. 

    Are you with me?
