Simple Awakenings : Finding Clarity in Life's Chaos Jennifer Wren Tolo, RN, Life Coach, Speaker, Author, Adjunct Professor, & mom x4

My guest, Kelci Jager, RN, Grief Coach and owner of Rise With Grief, and I talk about how to navigate through all of the curve balls life throws, like the death of her husband, life-threatening accidents of two of her four sons, and how she was able to find the light in those dark and challenging times.

We both share how looking for the "glimmers," the purpose or messages, and the opportunities to evolve in difficult times can help you survive them.

We talk:

👉The Power of Self-compassion

👉The Challenge of Letting Others Help

👉The Loneliness in challenge and loss

👉Riding the waves of Grief

👉Finding your Identity… and allowing it to evolve.

Kelci and I share a lot in common and discuss how we found the light at the end of some dark tunnels. The purpose of this podcast episode is to provide other women who are navigating through life’s painful challenge, loss or grief with some glimmer of hope, beacons of light and clarity of direction from the other side of Struggle and Pain.

Meet and Connect with my Guest…:

Kelci Jager, a Certified Life Coach, Grief Coach, and Registered Nurse, found herself navigating the challenging terrain of grief when she lost her 40-year-old husband to leukemia. Left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life as a solo parent to their four sons, Kelci faced the fear of her children losing her too. However, her determination to RISE and thrive became her driving force. With a blend of professional expertise and a deeply personal journey as a widow and solo parent, Kelci possesses a strong foundation and a unique perspective. She is passionately committed to providing support and guiding others on their grief journey.

Many success-driven, strong, and independent women wear masks and don't even realize they are wearing one.What I mean by masks are the facade of something, someone we are trying to be that we are not or do not feel like. 

 

How do we KNOW we are wearing a mask?  When we feel really uncomfortable, insecure, or like we are wearing a scratchy costume that just doesn't fit.



So many strong, independent, and high-achieving women wear the mask of “I'm fine, it's fine, everything is fine.”  I know I did… but it was not without a price.



In this episode, I discuss:


The different types of masks we wear as high-achieving, success-minded women


Why we wear them and the beliefs, thoughts and distractions behind them


How wearing masks actually disconnects us from ourselves, from others and makes us feel lonely and uncomfortable.


How we can take back our power over our lives… starting with Awareness of when, and why we wear masks.


Strategies to reconnect with our authentic, beautiful selves fro greater calm, clarity and connection in our lives.

So many women in business (and life) get stuck in a “proving” energy- to prove we are enough, have enough and do enough.  This can pull us away from our true, energetic self and create a feeling of “wrongness” or “missing something.”



This is what happens when we don’t balance and integrate our knowledge/ training with our intuition/ spirituality. When we find the balance and “sweet spot” of the two and show up authentically, success and abundance happen.



Join Ranchelle Van Bryce, Intuitive Business Marketing and Branding Coach, and I as we talk about:


Giving yourself permission to NOT follow someone else’s system, blueprint or script.


Trust yourself to KNOW what you need/ want and what is right for you.


Finding the “right fit” energetically and how it takes a willingness to surrender.


How getting out of the “spiritual closet” to be your most powerful, authentic self



There is a shift of energies coming, and we are being called to show up, knowing who we are and what we need unapologetically and authentically- allowing the soul, the feminine energy, to lead.



Meet and connect with my guest, Ranchelle Van Bryce.

For all the women yearning to etch a mark and to thrive in health, wealth, and relationships, Ranchelle offers various transformative avenues. From intensive one-on-one sessions, and rejuvenating conversations in her ‘Morning Pathway To Success Group,’ to her enlightening program at ‘The Sacred Art of Business Academy.’

Today's Topic is...Unraveling the Chaos: Exploring the 3 Key Thoughts That Fuel Stress

Do you know the difference between a thought and a feeling?

Feelings are sensations, emotions triggered by experiences and events while thoughts are information, stories and scenarios triggered (often) by feelings.

Thoughts are meant to be noticed and observed from an unattached, non-emotional perspective, but… the reality is we always attach and judge thoughts!

Tune in as I talk about:

👉How attaching to thoughts and stories in our mind can make us feel stuck and create stress.

👉The “stress spin” feedback loop of feelings and thoughts.

👉The top 3 Most common Thoughts that lead us into a stress spin and disconnect us from reality.

👉Simple strategies to STOP attaching to thoughts and START to take back your power and control over them (and your mind)

You CAN learn to manage your thoughts and Notice them, allow them to inform you without getting pulled into a stress spin or “catastrophic thinking.”  Listen in to learn how!

Did you know your gut is one of our best health indicators and what we need to be balanced?



When we have digestive issues, especially when modern healthcare testing says “everything is normal,” it can be a sign of stress and more profound, subtle signals that our body, mind, and soul are out of balance.



There are many layers of health and well-being, and Kaytee Hadley, “IBS and GUT Expert” and “Anti-IBS Dietician,” is dedicated to spreading the message that IBS is B.S.! As a functional medicine nutritionist, she dispels the myth that IBS is a lifetime sentence that “you just have to live with.”

Listen in as Kaytee, and I peel these layers back to help you understand:


How to trust your gut to know when something is “off” or “not right”


How to sift through the layers/ tiers to figure out what’s going on with your gut and throwing you out of balance.


Simple strategies and steps to begin to listen to your gut, and trust it to guide you on your path to health and happiness.

So many high-achieving, success-driven women have tight grips of control and focus on outcomes and results.  When things don’t go according to plan, we resist, tighten our grip of control, and get spun up in negative thoughts and feelings.  Is there any wonder why so many of these strong superwomen are exhausted and overwhelmed?



In this episode, I share how I learned how letting go can empower and connect us to reality, to the present moment, and to what we need and want at the moment.  Listen in to learn how letting go allows us to find more clarity, calmness, and connection in the chaos of life.



In this episode, I share:


What stops us from letting go


How tightening our control and attachment to outcomes actually derails us and exhausts us.


Strategies to begin to let go and take back your power over your life. 



Listen to learn how to tap into this superpower.
