    142 Embracing Change and Overcoming Energetic Blocks with Gabrielle Pimstone

    142 Embracing Change and Overcoming Energetic Blocks with Gabrielle Pimstone

    Have you ever felt a mysterious pull towards change, but something just keeps holding you back? Gabrielle Pimstone, an energy master and coach, joins me to unravel this enigma and guide you through the transformative power of embracing life's transitions. Gabrielle's journey from the high-pressure corporate maze to becoming a beacon for those seeking change is nothing short of extraordinary. Together, we tackle the myth that humans are resistant to change and celebrate the potential that lies within us to evolve at any stage of life.

    Imagine if you could identify the invisible hurdles that dampen your daily energy and remove them for good. In this episode, we discuss the concept of energetic blocks – those repeating patterns that can unconsciously dictate the course of our finances, relationships, and overall well-being. We'll walk you through the significance of inner child work and the impact of our language on our self-perception. With Gabrielle's expert strategies, you'll gain insights into clearing these blocks, paving the way for profound healing and personal growth.

    Finally, we delve into the riveting world of chakras, focusing on how imbalances in our heart, throat, and solar plexus chakras can lead to self-sabotage. Whether you're new to chakras or well-versed in energy work, you'll find valuable wisdom here.

    Plus, here is an invitation to our listeners to join a 28-day healing program designed to release deep-seated blocks with Gabrielle.

    141 Exploring Curiosity: Connecting with Clients on a Deeper Level with Angie Alexander

    In today’s episode our focus is on helping leaders and shaping organizational strategies with coaching.

    I am joined by my guest  Angie Alexander, a Professional Engineer, Leadership & Team Effectiveness Consultant, Speaker and a Certified Mental Fitness Coach.
     After over 20 years in the oil and gas industry in Alberta, she realized that her technical background combined with her people-oriented approach to working with leaders and their teams was her superpower! She loves nothing more than to support, encourage, lift up and help people be their best professional selves!

    She is an empathetic coach and facilitator who loves to support technical professionals, leaders and teams work better together. She has skills in leadership development, mental fitness coaching, organizational effectiveness, facilitation, process design & improvement, change management and project management. She possesses a passion for bringing teams together to work more effectively, make better decisions, be more innovative and think more strategically.

    Angie shares what has contributed to her success as a coach:
    Innate curiosity about peopleEffective communication skillsHumility and willingness to learnShe believes that coaching should not be seen as a remedy solely for underperformers or just for top executives. Angie sees her role as helping people understand that anyone can benefit from coaching. Her engineering background gives her credibility, especially when discussing complex concepts like rewiring neural pathways, which helps in establishing initial trust with clients.

    We chat about dealing with the Judge Voice and the accomplice saboteurs, along with their impact on your mental fitness.

    Your internal "judge" frequently undermines your confidence, telling you that you're not smart or successful enough and this voice can be quite loud.

    139 Busting Menopause Myths with Kristin Mallon

    139 Busting Menopause Myths with Kristin Mallon

    Meet my guest Kristin Mallon, Femgivity CEO and Co-Founder.

She grew up in Newport Beach, California and fell in love with and married a fun, adventurous native New Yorker. Now settled in North Jersey, Kristin's expertise lies in all the aspects of women’s health from fertility through childbirth and into feminine longevity.

    Conversation nuggets:
    Follow your passion for your careerWomen are now talking about the fertility struggles, their challenges and their journeyPerimenopause and menopauseHRT hormone replacement therapyThe importance of sleep and sleep trackersBoosting melatonin naturally"I have never met a woman that does anything the same as another woman when it comes to women's health. So I just love really working with them and on a very individual very, very basic level and customizing their care and tailoring that care to them because there's so many different compartments and specialties and little parts to healthcare. So I always say that each woman is like a Van Gogh or a Monet or a Picasso painting so unique, that it really requires its own breath, throws its own colors. Everything needs to be so uniquely handled in the order that it's handled."

    Femgevity is a digital telemedicine company offering women access to personalized, monthly/continuous, and affordable care that addresses their evolving menopause symptoms.

    138 Focus on Your Fabulocity with Yolanda Drewell

    138 Focus on Your Fabulocity with Yolanda Drewell

    My guest today is Yolanda Drewell, author of "Look, Feel & Age Fabulous" and creator of Fabulocity
    Yolanda Drewell is a Transformational Stylist, Midlife Anti-Propagandist and calls herself the Queen of Fabulocity, a habit and life philosophy that evolved out of her love for word ‘fabulous’.

    Influenced by her colourful South African roots, Yolanda uses her own unique, flamboyant outfits, language and modalities to model and inspire women to discover and craft expanded and compelling versions of themselves, starting in their wardrobe.

    Fabulocity is a pattern-interrupt, a genial and expansive take on self-actualising, confidence and goal-setting, offering tantalising shifts in all aspects of your life, starting with your outfits and self-identity, and moving into charisma, language, marketing, spaces, relationships, goals, behaviour, mindset and more.    

    Fabulocity is rooted on three luscious tenets for living your best life:
    CELEBRATION
    REINVENTION
    FABIFICATION

    Yolanda is an ex-PR professional, and she is also a laughter yoga coach, pantomime actress and a student of Quantum Touch.  She has four teenage children, a British husband and lives in the UK with all of the above and two poodles.  She is an advocate for Steiner education (her four children went through the Steiner School system on three continents) and Extinction Rebellion (XR).


    Let’s jump right in and tell us more about exploration over a number of years trying to work out how to create a successful, happy middle age. You mentioned that your motivation for this was primarily watching your mother suffer from ‘empty nest syndrome from which she never recovered.
    Enter Fabulocity …why do people need this?

    Fabulocity is a pattern-interrupt, a genial and expansive take on self-actualising, confidence and goal-setting, offering tantalising shifts in all aspects of your life, starting with your outfits and self-identity, and moving into charisma, language, spaces, relationships, goals, behaviour, mindset and more.  
    I'd like to invite anyone interested in learning more about living life in a state of Fabulosity to visit my website. https://www.yolandadrewell.com
