SHE. Inspired Lorna Morin

As you move through challenging life experiences, how are you using your thoughts?

Are you using them? … or are they using you?

I believe one of Katie Baird’s gifts to the world is her ability to articulate the power of focused thinking to help us heal.

Through sharing her personal story of healing from multiple physical and emotional traumas, Katie beautifully illustrates how so much of our healing journey is about learning to reach for a better feeling thought; to consciously choose a different lens through which to view our experience.

This is the real essence of what comes through for me in our conversation.

As a writer, Katie is truly gifted with words.

She uses her gift to show us how she renegotiated her relationship with fear,
and ultimately chose love over fear, by using ‘anchor thoughts’ to stabilize herself when conditions in her life were rough.

Katie Baird is a copywriter who runs her own agency, Katie Baird Agency, and is authoring her first book, a memoir of her experience healing from her first marriage.

“I’m so far away from the life I was supposed to have.”

Just one of the beautiful and profound statements Emily Getz makes in our open and frank conversations about her experience moving through secondary pregnancy loss and infertility.

She stopped me in my tracks with this statement because I believe it’s a familiar refrain for so many of us (whether consciously or unconsciously); this belief that we should be somewhere other than right where we are.

In Emily’s case, this idea she was missing out on the life she was supposed to have related to building her family. But of course, we can think this way about other aspect of our lives too, like our work, social or financial status, the quality of our relationships, or even our spiritual development.

And when this belief is active within us, it can really suck all the fun and enjoyment out of the here and now, as Emily so beautifully illustrates through a story about her son Ryder.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but the overarching message is the need to let go of the life you thought you were supposed to have so you can have (and enjoy) the life meant for you.

Letting go of beliefs, thoughts and things that aren’t true to who we are, is essentially what healing allows us to do.

And when we are willing to move through this painful and often scary process of healing, what awaits us on the other side is often unexpected (but super cool!) and always in alignment with the truth of who we are.

For Emily, one of those unexpected outcomes is the creation of her new podcast. Day 1 aims to normalize the experience of pregnancy loss and infertility - particularly here in Canada where for the most part, the conversation has yet to penetrate the mainstream - through interviews with experts and people with lived experience of infertility.

By carving out space for these important conversations, Emily hopes to create an amazing, positive loop: a better educated public who can respond more effectively to people experiencing infertility, who will then feel more understood by the people around them and be more likely to share their experience which will continue to educate the public ... An amazing positive loop, indeed.

The intangible is always working in our lives.

That’s what Andrea Moyah Trucilla, Cree Medicine Woman and Modern Mystic, wants you to know. Understanding exactly what that means and learning how to tap into this intangible Spirit world is what she teaches through her School of the Mystic Arts and her 1:1 work with intuitive healers.

Her healing journey began at the age of 19 when she started practicing yoga. At the time, she believed the feeling of your chest caving in; of not being able to take a full breath, was a normal state of living. This began the reintegration process of her soul returning to her body and was the catalyst for her to powerfully claim her psychic abilities.

There is often a lot of fear when we contemplate tapping into the entirety of ourselves and awakening our soul purpose. Andrea and I discuss how this fear serves a purpose: it has kept us safe during the long period of our past when it hasn’t been safe to live openly as our true selves.

But now, it is safe, and Andrea delivers a powerful question for our listeners straight from Spirit:

What is your hero story?

Because it is time to tap into that and propel your life forward. It’s time.

We have a lively conversation, with Andrea channeling directly to Spirit, about how to do this and things to be prepared for in responding to this call to action from your soul. If you are feeling a pull to more but don’t yet understand it or know how to respond, this episode is for you.

Can you relate to feeling uncomfortable in your own skin?

Having moments in your life, perhaps years, where you felt you weren’t quite in the right place?

Perhaps you are feeling that way right now in your life?

Johanna Rossi can relate. As a hands on healer, she helps women strip back the layers of experience from our present and past lives to reconnect when the truth of who we are. She is perfectly suited for this important work because she’s done it herself her entire life.

Johanna shares her journey of deep spiritual awakening, including the truths she’s covered about the connection between negative emotion and dis-ease, and how she is using this wisdom to help women release illness and live with freedom, love and truth.

As purpose-driven, female entrepreneurs, Kelsey Blake & Shannon Laliberte ARE their clients.

That’s partly why they are so effective at capturing the essence of the women who hire them to create photo and video content for their purpose-driven businesses.

The synergy between these two is NUTS!

Each of them is so firmly in their zone of genius, they are powerful in their own rights but when they come together - BAM.

As a photographer and videographer respectively, Shannon and Kelsey exemplify the power of following your inspiration to generate an impact and an income.

That they found each other is no surprise to those of us who understand the vibrational nature of our Universe, but it is still INCREDIBLE to behold.

They share what the journey to here has looked like for each of them, the limiting beliefs each of them has faced (and flipped) to claim their identities as artists, and where they are going as the co-founders of FoundHer Productions.

Did you know yoga was not designed for exercise?

I did not know that!

I knew there was a lot more to it, but I didn’t know the practice wasn’t designed for the purpose of exercise at all.

For Victoria Noone, yoga has been her vehicle to self-love and acceptance.

It enabled her to shed the tough exterior she developed in response to childhood trauma.

It has helped her feel good and strong and comfortable in her body again.

And it introduced her to gratitude as a powerful practice for redirecting her thoughts to feel good even when things are tough.

Now she teaches yoga to people who are just like her:

regular people, with regular bodies and a desire to feel better - as well as an attitude toward yoga that ranges from mild alarm to full-on resistance (well, that part is no longer her 😊).

Her Instagram feed is so authentic, I love it!

I mean, she is out there in the snow doing basic poses ... and so are her clients!

It’s so cool and so full of positive energy.

No wonder it’s blowing me up! Go follow her @yoga_embrace_by_victoria

Victoria shares her personal story of tuning in to her inner guidance to arrive at the unlikely place of yoga teacher and gratitude enthusiast, dedicated to sharing her journey of self-acceptance, love and surrender.

I reached Victoria at her home in Newcastle, England.
