    Going Against Culture to be a Connected Parent

    Have you ever questioned "why" we work, "why" we prioritize clients over family, "why" we miss out on being connected with our kids because of work?  Like literally, why?  Is something else more important than you or your loved ones?  Our conditioning runs so deep we barely blink at these daily decisions we make. We abandoned ourselves and the ones we love most daily. Yet, this is "normal" it's a system we signed up for, volunteered, spent our own money and years of education to be endoctrined into it. Only to one day wake up and say, is this my life?  Truly, why did we come here?  I know many have asked this age old question, but honestly, it wasn't to work, isolate yourself, and miss out on family, friends, and connection. So why do we allow it to happen? In this podcast I tell the story of how I was brought to my knees postpartum.  It wasn't my plan, but it became my journey.  A journey I'm still on, but have finally reached a clearing of some perspective to put it into words.  I share this story because it brings up a greater question, what are we doing with our lives? Who constructed this reality? This can't be the reason we came here? I believe we are in a massive transition in humanity. No longer do these old systems work, we're watching them crumble daily before our eyes. Yet we continue to be slaves to the system, jeopardizing our connections to family, friends, and especially ourselves.  Is it worth it?  In my darkest nights of the soul... no. I realized it's not worth it, I literally couldn't go another day. I had to find myself again, without my ego, seeking my soul purpose, reconnecting to the original "mother" earth, and each day strived to find just one brief glimmer even if a split second. And slowly, slowly, I could climb myself out. Now that I have experienced that depth, I can see with clearer eyes.  A world that no longer makes sense. A world that seems foreign, misfit, misaligned, like a hologram flickering and I'm wondering which one I want to tune into.  And that's it exactly.  The hologram, or projection of your own life is what you see... what if you choose to change it?  What if small adjustments in your own reality starts to open up a world that is of a completely new paradigm?  Maybe this seemingly small feat will start clearing a new path- new trajectory for your children- so the potential and experience on this earth regains meaning, connection, and joy.  I hope my story helps stir something in you, to make a change, and transend what's holding you back from living a connected, soul purpose life- espeicially with your kids, family, and yourself.

    Using Winter Energy to Deeply Nourish the Body

    The most underutilized energy source, in our Modern World, is that of the winter.  What do I mean by that?  Winter is just dead and quiet right!? Yes, it sure appears that way, but we all know very well that it indeed is not!  Winter is a resting time, a going within- to the roots. Deeply nourishing, deeply grounding after releasing all that no longer serves us. It is a time of deep reflection, slow pace, and consistency to remain dormant and dare I say unexciting!  How do you do in the winter?  Do you mirror nature?  It is rare to find those who do. Possibly cultures in the immersed in winter for most of the year are the best- like the Scandinavian cultures.  They have greatly embraced this energy which has lead to not only their survival, but their ability to thrive beyond most modern day cultures.  They eat locally grown roots, wild game, cold water fish, and have beautiful family and cultural rituals like cold plunging and sauna.  A place that could be so "hard" becomes so healing when the season is properly honored.  So how can we bring this into our life? Let's dive into the energy of winter and see how we can use foods, lifestyle practices, and get comfortable "doing nothing". Although it's the end of February, we still have 1 month until the Spring Equinox on March 20. So if you haven't already, this is your time to dive in to the winter energy.  Lets slow down and deeply nourish ourselves so when that energy in the earth starts to rise, we have the energy to move with it, cleanse in the spring, and have sustained energy for the year!  Here's to winter!  xoxo Megan
