    S3E13 A Deep Dive into Mother-Daughter Relationships with Gail Carney

    Mother daughter relationships are not always easy. Moms have advice and knowledge that they want to pass down to their daughters and experiences that they want to protect their daughters from. Daughters may feel like they need to follow in their mother’s footsteps, or they may be craving their independence. Whatever the scenario, mother daughter relationships can be complex and multifaceted.  My own mom and I have been through many different stages of our relationship. I was obsessed with my mom as a young child, and then as I got older, I craved independence. My desire to grow up too fast put a strain on my relationship with my mom during some of my middle school and high school years. In college, we were able to use the separation to find ourselves and ultimately come back together closer than ever. Since I graduated college, my mom and I have become best friends. We talk almost every day, value each other’s opinions, and enjoy doing creative projects together.  Because our relationship has taken a lot of work to get to this place, we wanted to share what we’ve noticed that can put a strain on mother daughter relationships, talk about our relationship’s evolution, and offer some guidance to other mother daughter duos. I am so happy to have my mom, Gail Carney, back on the podcast for the third time!  What we chat about:  How my mom started making t-shirts and sweatshirtsWays to be consistent and flexible with your morning routineWhy miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to issues in mother daughter relationships How to balance wanting your kids to have a better life than you without putting too much pressure on them The pressures that society puts on kids now to be “well-rounded”How negative body image that mothers have can seriously impact their daughtersWhy moms can’t instill their fears into their daughtersWays to foster trust with your daughterWhy it’s important to know your kid’s friendsThe definition of a healthy mother daughter relationship We discuss whether or not your mom should be your best friendHow my mom and I have been able to foster such a good relationship  Gail’s Social Media Accounts:  Instagram: @carneyfair4 and @gailcar  My Social Media Links: Instagram: @connectingthedots.podcast, @kathlyncarneywellnessTikTok: @connectingthedotspodcast, @kathlyncarneywellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast  My Partners: Kathlyn Carney Wellness ServicesWhy Not Natural Affiliate Link Manski's Wellness Affiliate Link a href="https://www.organicolivia.com/collections/best-sellers?utm_source=pepperjam&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=269994&clickId=4207982945" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer...

    S3E12 Navigating Life's Major Moments with Less Stress & Fewer Toxins with Megan Riley

    It’s not every day that you get to podcast with one of your best friends in your new podcast studio! In this episode, I chat with Megan Riley about non-toxic living, wedding planning, and trying to conceive. We cover a lot in this conversation - from our time in the classroom together when we were first learning about nontoxic living to supporting each other in our careers and personal lives. It was amazing to see how far we’ve come from the 22-year-old new teachers we were when we met! I have always been inspired by Megan’s ability to go after what she wants and to commit to it 100%. Her determination, do-it-yourself attitude, and vulnerability have helped me grow as a person. I think you will leave this conversation a bit more inspired to go after what you want and to be more open with your people.  Megan Riley is a teacher, wedding planner, mother, and lover of nontoxic living. She has a passion for helping brides bring their wedding vision to life (and loves a color coded to-do list). At the end of the day, Megan loves nothing more than being a mother, and this has only strengthened her mission to continue to find non-toxic product swaps for her home, body, and child.  What we chat about:  How Megan and I met and became friends Two of Megan’s favorite ritualsHow Megan got into wedding planning Megan’s biggest Do’s and Don’ts for wedding planning Why having a wedding planner is so important for your peace of mind Megan’s fertility journey The difficult feelings and thoughts that can come up after having a miscarriage Some of the preconception nutrition and lifestyle support that I gave Megan Favorite non-toxic beauty and household products Work with Megan:  Social Media: Haylie Paige EventsWebsite: Haylie Paige Events My Social Media Links: Instagram: @connectingthedots.podcast, @kathlyncarneywellnessTikTok: @connectingthedotspodcast, @kathlyncarneywellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast  My Partners: Kathlyn Carney Wellness ServicesWhy Not Natural Affiliate Link Manski's Wellness Affiliate Link Organic Olivia Affiliate Link use code KCW for 10% offJOI (Just One Ingredient) - Delicious, Clean Label Plant Milk Bases use code KATHLYNCARNEYWELLNESS at checkout for 10% offa href="https://energybits.com/?rfsn=7850851.8bad1f" target="_blank"...

    S3E11 Trust the Process: Ozone Therapy and Free Birth with Darrah Kempka, RN

    Darrah Kempka, RN is someone that I have been inspired by for a long time. She shares her knowledge and experience so vulnerably, and she has a knack for fostering community. She is a trailblazer and brings so many unique therapies and modalities to the DFW area. So it was no surprise that she opened my eyes (and probably many other people’s eyes) to the concept of free birth. Free birth is birthing without the assistance of a midwife or doctor. As I watched Darrah post about her wild pregnancy, the free birth she was preparing for, and clips from her free birth, I knew that I had to chat with her about the experience and learn more. And I have to say, I am even more inspired by her after this conversation than I was before :)  Darrah Kempka RN is the owner of Natural Infusion Partners LLC, a holistic IV suite in Grapevine Texas. After working in conventional medicine for 8 years, she began to integrate holistic healing, functional medicine, and ozone therapy into her life after her youngest son’s battle with eczema and allergies. She mentored under world renowned practitioners who focused on mold toxicity, chronic disease, and general wellness for 3 years before the pandemic of 2019. Since then, she joined a collective of natural healers and created a healing sanctuary of her own.  Now, you can find her there serving and teaching about body, mind, soul work + ozone therapy.  What we chat about:  Ozone therapy and how you could utilize ozone insufflations at home How Darrah got into the “wellness world” The training that Darrah received in ozone therapy and detoxification  Why Darrah decided to add cranial sacral therapy to her servicesThe importance of nervous system regulation to heal What made Darrah decide she wanted her third pregnancy and birth experience to be different from her first twoWhat led Darrah to choose a wild pregnancy and free birthHow Darrah and Amanda started Village Prenatal Key takeaways from Darrah’s free birthWhat Darrah did to prepare for birth and set up her birthing spaceDarrah’s number one tip for postpartum What’s going on at Natural Infusion Partners  Social Media Links:  Social Media: @natural.infusion.partners & @darrahkempka_rnWebsite: Natural Infusion Partners My Social Media Links: Instagram: @connectingthedots.podcast, @kathlyncarneywellnessTikTok: @connectingthedotspodcast, @kathlyncarneywellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast  My Partners: Kathlyn Carney Wellness ServicesWhy Not Natural Affiliate Link Manski's...

    S3E10 Letting Go of Fear to Move Forward & Heal

    The hardest and most cathartic podcast episode that I have ever done. This is the most raw, unfiltered, and vulnerable that I have ever been - on social media and maybe just in general. But as I have been working through so much fear and grief, I’ve wished there were more people talking about it. I wish more people shared about how hard it is to watch people you love be sick and the fear that may be instilled while you support them. I wish people talked about the tools that they used to work through their grief, fear, anxiety, and trauma. And I wish more practitioners talked about how it can be really scary to receive a diagnosis and have tests run to get to the root cause. So, I am here to be that person in case anyone else was wishing for the same things.  What I chat about:  My theme and mantra for year 29Grieving the loss of my best friend on the anniversary of her passing How I felt after getting diagnosed with PCOSThe sign that we got from Trish on my friend’s bacheloretteThe impact that being around a lot of women who experienced chronic illness has had on me How I let fear run my life What helped me get through my fears and move forward  My Social Media Links: Instagram: @connectingthedots.podcast, @kathlyncarneywellnessTikTok: @connectingthedotspodcast, @kathlyncarneywellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast  My Partners: Kathlyn Carney Wellness ServicesWhy Not Natural Affiliate Link Manski's Wellness Affiliate Link Organic Olivia Affiliate Link use code KCW for 10% offJOI (Just One Ingredient) - Delicious, Clean Label Plant Milk Bases use code KATHLYNCARNEYWELLNESS at checkout for 10% offENERGYbits® | Spirulina and Chlorella Algae use code CTD at checkout for 20% offLive PACHA Affiliate Link use code CONNECTINGTHEDOTS at checkout for 20% off  *Before purchasing any supplements from our partners, please consult with your physician or nutritionist  Click here to learn more - About the Show

    S3E8 Using Astrology to Navigate Transitions and Challenges with Kelly Kasle

    Kelly Kasle has been an amazing teacher to me this year. She has helped me better understand astrology and my own birth chart, which in turn has led to me have a better understanding of myself. Kelly helps people navigate big life transitions and find their purpose using Astrology, Human Design and Meditation.  She discovered the power and wisdom of Astrology by using it to get through a huge life transition in September of 2020. Overnight, her whole life turned upside down with the unexpected passing of her father and COVID work mandates. Astrology helped her understand why this huge turning point happened and how to move through it with grace.  While doing readings for friends for fun, she saw how many people were dealing with similar situations and realized her skills and wisdom as an Astrologer were more needed at this time in history than her musical talent. Prior to COVID she was based in Los Angeles and had a thriving career as a professional bassoonist, music educator and event producer.  In addition to all that astrology offers, her counseling is supported by her wisdom on universal spiritual principles, holistic health, neuroscience, quantum physics and the habits of high achievers. Find peace, happiness and fulfillment by being in tune with your soul. Your Natal Birth Chart (aka your Soul Blueprint) holds the keys and guidance to all of your questions. Connect, book a reading and find Kelly's latest courses and events at https://linktr.ee/kellykasle   What we chat about:  The habits that start Kelly’s day off strong How Kelly found a huge interest in astrology in 2020The impact that Kelly’s music career had on her ability to pick up astrologyThe mindset that Kelly had to overcome the challenges she faced in 2020What our astrological birth charts can show and tell us about ourselvesHow you can use astrology and human design to be the best version of yourself The big ages in astrology Where the term Saturn Return comes from How astrology can be used to improve our weak spots and capitalize on our strengths An overview of Human Design and Gene KeysHow to use Human Design in businessThe different ways that you can work with Kelly  Kelly’s LinkTree:  https://linktr.ee/kellykasle  My Social Media Links: Instagram: @connectingthedots.podcast, @kathlyncarneywellnessTikTok: @connectingthedotspodcast, @kathlyncarneywellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast  My Partners: Kathlyn Carney Wellness ServicesWhy Not Natural Affiliate Link Manski's Wellness Affiliate Link a...
