    * Encore* 34. Breast Cancer • Sex and (Self) Love After a Double Mastectomy with Amy Marcs – Jackie Shea

    Amy Marcs, Sex and (Self) Love after a Double Mastectomy: In 2009, Amy received a breast cancer diagnosis and intuitively knew that a double mastectomy was her best option—no easy decision for "a petite Jewish girl with great boobs." (No easy decision for anyone, ever). Marcs loved her breasts—her journey through the grieving process is heartbreaking, touching, inspiring and hilarious. It's a grieving process that many sick people can relate to as all of us lose a part of our identities we were once attached to. We get down to business in this episode, intimately discussing sex and (self) love after a double mastectomy.  Today, on the other side, Amy (and her new boobs) tours her one woman show, "Nice Tits," and speaks out about the specific pains of breast cancer and double mastectomies. (http://nicetitstheshow.com ) Weekly Challenge: "Take your broken heart and make it into art" -Carrie Fisher I love this challenge, my friends! Amy wrote as a way to move through her experience so it's only fitting that her challenge to you is to find a creative expression on your journey. I did it, and it worked wonder. Check out how creativity helped me heal in this blog post on my photo 365 challenge. You can do anything: Paint, draw, garden, take photos, write, sing, pick up an instrument, color, act, dance, knit, sew, make pottery, and the list goes on. There's no shortage on creative outlets, AND you have the time (and energy)! Commit to ten minutes a day if you can and if you're bed bound like I was then pick something low-impact.

    Encore • Mindfulness and Chronic Illness • Accept What Is • Surrender and Be Free

    Nichole Proffitt, mindfulness coach for women, somatic experiencing practitioner Mindfulness and Chronic Illness: Nichole Proffitt ( http://www.presencemindfulness.com/ ) had been seriously practicing meditation for years when her first fibromyalgia symptoms developed, and (plot-twist) meditation was making it all worse. This isn’t an episode about traditional meditation and using it to heal from illness.  It’s an episode about accepting what is, seeking out your truth, surrendering to your truth, and then being willing to let go… of everything.  The closer Nichole got to her absolute truth ( whether that truth was that she couldn’t hang out with toxic people anymore, or eat her favorite foods, or stay up past 10pm even though she’s always been a night owl) and the more she surrendered to them, the healthier and happier she has become.  She said, “These truths, as hard as they are to come by, and even harder to live by, are what give me back my life… the years, relationships, friendships, jobs and everything I have lost.” THIS is mindfulness and chronic illness. Nichole’s Facebook Weekly Challenge: Ask yourself deeper questions and become open to your own deeper answers. What a doozy, huh? This may seem totally overwhelming. Often, it’s those deep—DEEP—answers that we are trying to avoid so that we can hang on tightly to our own visions. But, this week, gently try to go inward, listen just a little closer, and allow small parts of your truth to emerge. Tune in to the episode to hear more about how to actually do this. Follow me @sheajackie for weekly challenge updates and more wellness fun.

    Encore • Feng Shui for Health and Wellness Optimization with Ashley Cantley

    Ashley Cantley, Feng Shui expert, manifester, mama bear Feng Shui for Health: Ashley Cantley was drawn to this ancient Chinese practice when faced with healing from a toxic relationship. Similarly, I only started putting attention on my living space when I was sick and doing some healing of my own.  Most people who have a current #lifegoal of “heal from illness” are in bed, and, in that case, shouldn’t the bedroom feel like a sanctuary?  I believe that my living space is a reflection of how I am in the world, and I committed to making my whole home a giant vision board: Everything in it should make me feel good! Essentially, how to feng shui for health. That being said, I knew very little about the actual art and science of Feng Shui, so I was pretty pumped to get Ashley on and talk about practical suggestions to use Feng Shui for health and healing. How is Feng Shui an extension of holistic health? And how does it enhance other self-care practices? How can we make small changes in our home to enhance our health? Listen in here! Find Ashley for more Feng Shui tips on IG @fengshuiash and at her blog and website here. Weekly Challenge: This one can be a real game-changer! Clean and de-clutter the center of your home or living space. The center of your home is where the health and wellness energy resides. Of course it’s in the center, right? It can be the most important piece of our lives. After a deep clean and serious de-clutter, purchase a swarovski crystal here and hang  it.  In the episode (around minute 20) we get into the deets behind WHY this crystal is the jam! Follow me @sheajackie on IG for weekly challenge updates.
