    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Guest Sarah Guercia about healing trauma beyond words - through art and a sprinkle of magick.

    What if healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with us…but creating enough space to hear what our mind, body, and spirit have been trying to tell us all along? My guest today, Sarah Guercia, believes creativity can help us do exactly that. Sarah is a board-certified art therapist, licensed professional counselor, artist, and Founder of Fox and Feather Healing Arts Services, an outpatient art therapy practice specializing in eating disorders and trauma. Her work brings together some fascinating worlds—evidence-based art therapy, anti-diet culture, feminist theory, spirituality, intuition, energy…and even a little magic. For more than a decade, Sarah has explored what can happen when we move beyond words and allow creativity to reveal what’s underneath the surface. Today we’re talking about art, body image, trauma, grief, spirituality, the flow state, and what it really means to nourish ourselves—mind, body, and spirit. Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about finding our way back to ourselves. Please welcome Sarah Guercia to Shifts & Giggles.

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Guest Rachel Lynn about how to know if you're actually stuck - or being redirected.

    What if feeling stuck doesn't mean you're on the wrong path? What if it's actually an invitation to stop, listen… and choose what comes next? My guest today, Rachel Lynn, knows a thing or two about changing direction. Rachel began her career as a pastry chef in the fast-paced culinary world of New York City. From the outside, she was doing all the things she thought she should be doing. On the inside, she describes herself as an anxious, insecure people-pleaser who had lost connection with herself. Eventually, she hit a crossroads—and chose differently. She left the city, returned to Connecticut, became an educator, and began the messy, beautiful work of rediscovering who she really was. Today, Rachel is a teacher and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach who helps others slow down, reconnect with themselves, and find clarity beneath all the noise. Rachel believes you are exactly where you're meant to be—even when you feel stuck, doubtful, or afraid. So today we're talking about crossroads, people-pleasing, intuition, reinvention, and what happens when you finally get quiet enough to hear yourself say, "Something needs to change." Please welcome Rachel Lynn to Shifts & Giggles. To Connect with Rachel Lynn: www.RachelLynnLifeCoach.com

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Guest Danna Anderson, LPC about What the Body Remembers: Ketamine & Transformation

    What if your body remembers things your mind has forgotten? And what if those aches, patterns, and places where you feel stuck are actually trying to tell you something? My guest today is Danna Anderson—and she has a pretty fascinating way of helping us listen. Danna is a licensed professional counselor, somatic psychology practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher, yoga teacher, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist, and Family Constellations facilitator. In other words… she has a few tools in her toolbox! At the heart of her work is what she calls loving presence—looking beneath the surface, noticing the patterns that keep repeating, and bringing what’s happening in our subconscious into our conscious awareness. In our conversation, we dive into the wisdom of the body, the stories we carry, ancestral patterns, energetics, mindfulness, psychedelics, and what happens when we stop trying to simply think our way through everything. Because maybe the question isn't, "What's wrong with me?" Maybe it's… "What is my body trying to tell me?" And that, my friends, is where the Holy Shift gets really interesting.

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Ingrid Prueher about what happens if the life you’re meant to live begins the moment you stop trying to fit into the life you thought you were supposed to live?

    Welcome back to Shifts & Giggles: Conversations with Beth—where curiosity meets connection, and where we explore the shifts that shake us up, wake us up, and sometimes completely change the direction of our lives. Today's guest knows a thing or two about transformation. If you've ever wondered what happens when a person follows their curiosity, trusts their intuition, and keeps saying "yes" to life's invitations, you're going to love this conversation. Joining me today is Ingrid Prueher, founder of Yoga 4 Everybody—a woman whose journey has taken her through the worlds of yoga, holistic health coaching, Reiki, aromatherapy, sleep consulting, Yoga Nidra, body drumming, and even the healing power of an Amethyst Crystal Biomat. Now, that's not your typical career path! But what fascinates me most isn't the list of certifications or modalities—it's the story behind them. Because somewhere along the way, Ingrid experienced a series of holy shifts that led her from where she was to where she is today. What were the moments that changed everything? How did she know when it was time to follow a new path? And what happens when we stop living by someone else's script and start listening to the quiet wisdom within? Today we'll explore Ingrid's personal journey, the twists and turns that brought her here, the lessons she's learned along the way, and why helping people rest, heal, and reconnect with themselves has become such an important part of her life's work. We'll talk about sleep, stress, intuition, healing, reinvention, and perhaps most importantly, what it means to trust the next step when you can't yet see the whole path. So grab a cup of tea, get comfortable, take a deep breath... And join us for what promises to be a heartfelt and inspiring conversation. To Connect with Ingrid Prueher: www.Yoga4Everybody.net

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Kimberly Heil, Creative Alchemist about the power of creativity to heal and what happens when you follow your "Hell Yes!"

    Today's guest is someone who truly embodies what it means to follow your heart—and trust where it leads. Joining me is Kimberly Heil, an intuitive artist, author, board-certified art therapist, energy medicine practitioner, and self-proclaimed Creative Alchemist. Through art, writing, movement, meditation, and expressive arts, Kimberly helps people reconnect with themselves, release old patterns, and discover the wisdom that's been within them all along. But her path wasn't a straight one. After facing a serious medical diagnosis while working in a job that no longer fulfilled her, Kimberly turned to painting as a way to navigate fear, healing, and uncertainty. What began as a lifeline became a calling. That experience inspired her to leave the life that no longer fit, return to school to become an art therapist, and dedicate her work to helping others heal through creativity. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of art, intuition, and those moments in life when we're asked to stop living by everyone else's expectations and start listening to our own inner voice. If you've ever felt stuck, longed to make a change, or wondered what might happen if you finally followed your biggest "hell yes"... I think you're going to love this conversation. Please join me in welcoming the wonderful Kimberly Heil to Shifts & Giggles.

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Guest Jen Colombo - Artist and Creator of The Nature of Tarot Deck

    Today is a very special episode because I'm joined by someone I've had the joy of creating with over the past few years—my friend, artist, and creative partner, Jen Colombo. Together we've been bringing a dream to life: The Nature of Tarot: Seasons of Becoming—a nature-inspired tarot deck and companion book designed to help people discover their own inner wisdom through reflection, curiosity, and connection. Jen is the visionary behind the breathtaking artwork that gives this deck its heart and soul. Every card features animals and the natural world in ways that invite us to see the familiar through fresh eyes. As someone who came into this project as a beginner to tarot, Jen has offered a perspective that's just as important as my own decades of reading and teaching. Together we've asked, "How can we make tarot feel welcoming, accessible, and meaningful for everyone—from the curious beginner to the experienced reader?" Today we're taking you behind the scenes of this incredible journey. We'll talk about where the idea came from, how the artwork evolved, the unexpected lessons we learned along the way, and why we believe tarot isn't about predicting your future—it's about discovering yourself. Whether you've been reading tarot for years or you've never touched a deck before, I think you're going to enjoy this conversation. To Connect with Jen: www.JenColombo.com

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Rachel Mazzarelli about her 'Holy Shift' moment, Thermography and The Wisdom Within

    Have you ever had one of those moments where your life takes an unexpected turn… and suddenly you're following a path you never could have imagined? Today's guest is someone who has spent her entire life listening—to the body, to intuition, and to the gentle nudges that often lead us exactly where we're meant to be. I'm so happy to welcome Rachel Mazzarelli. Rachel has been immersed in the world of wellness since long before it became mainstream. Raised by a mother and grandmother who believed food could be medicine and movement was essential, she grew up with healthy living woven into everyday life. From there, her journey took her through fitness, corporate wellness, nutrition, yoga, and eventually into the fascinating world of thermography. But as you'll hear today, that wasn't the end of the story—it was just another beginning. Her own experiences led her to explore the deeper energetic side of healing through modalities like PSYCH-K®, Emotion Code, and Body Code, helping people uncover and release subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns that may be standing in the way of living fully. What I love about Rachel is that she reminds us that healing isn't just about fixing what's broken. It's about becoming more aware, more connected, and more aligned with who we truly are. Today we're talking about the incredible intelligence of the body, the messages it sends us, the connection between our emotions and our physical health, and what becomes possible when we begin listening in a whole new way. So, whether you're curious about thermography, fascinated by energy medicine, or simply wondering what your own body has been trying to tell you... You're in for a wonderful conversation.

    Shifts & Giggles: Beth chats with Kayla Rose Yoder about The Courage to Be Seen - Marketing, Magic & Sharing Your Gifts with the World

    Welcome back to Shifts & Giggles: Conversations with Beth—where curiosity meets connection, and where we explore the shifts that shake us up, wake us up, and sometimes completely reroute our lives. Today's guest is here to answer a question that keeps a lot of brilliant, heart-centered entrepreneurs up at night: What if your magic isn't the problem... what if your messaging is? If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I know my work changes lives, but I have no idea how to talk about it," then you're going to love this conversation. Joining me today is the delightful and deeply insightful Kayla Rose Yoder—writer, intuitive marketing strategist, creative catalyst, and champion of women-led businesses. She's on a mission to help healers, coaches, creatives, and change-makers find the words that capture the essence of who they are and what they do. What I love about Kayla is that she doesn't see marketing as manipulation or a necessary evil. She sees it as an act of self-expression. As a musician, actress, dancer, and entrepreneur, she's discovered that business itself can be a powerful form of magic—and that the most effective marketing happens when we're deeply connected to our truth, our purpose, and our unique voice. Today we're talking about authenticity, creativity, burnout, visibility, pleasure, purpose, and why so many incredible people struggle to tell the world about the gifts they have to offer.
