    The Life Edit Blueprint | Ep. 81

    In this episode, I’m sharing The Life Edit Blueprint — a positive psychology–based guide to simplifying your life so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more intentional. Ask yourself: “What’s one thing I can subtract this week to feel freer, clearer, and more energized?” 🧠 Mind – Edit Your Thoughts Stop pouring energy into limiting beliefs & what you can’t control.Reframe rumination into growth-focused thinking.Research: Rumination is linked to higher anxiety and depression (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000).⏰ Time – Audit Your Schedule Highlight what aligns with your values vs. what’s just “busyness.”Research: Harvard Business Review (2018) found “time poverty” leads to higher stress, lower life satisfaction, and poorer health.⚡ Energy – Audit Your Energy, Not Just Your To-Do List Identify green-light (energizing) vs. red-light (draining) activities.🤝 Relationships – Simplify Your Social Circle Quality over quantity. Invest in those who uplift you.Research: The Harvard Study of Adult Development found strong relationships are the #1 predictor of health & happiness.🏡 Environment – Clear Your Space Less clutter = more calm. Even small edits free mental bandwidth.Research: Clutter is linked to higher cortisol and stress (Saxbe & Repetti, 2010).➖ Choices – Subtract Before You Add Before saying yes, ask: What can I let go of to make space?Research: People default to “adding” rather than subtracting (Klotz, 2021).🌙 Closing Reflection: Editing your life isn’t about having less — it’s about making room for what matters most. 💡 ✨ Let’s Connect📸 Instagram: @ferrahshino 🌐 Website: www.ferrahshino.com 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes on mindfulness, positive psychology, and living with intention. #LifeEdit #PositivePsychology #SimplifyYourLife #Minimalism #MentalClarity #SelfGrowth #TimeManagement

    Meet Stevie + We are Her | Ep. 78

    I first met Stevie at the We Are HER Network annual retreat in Montana, where I was leading yoga workshops and sharing the RAIN method (surprised, I really am all about somatic work and mindful awareness). We instantly bonded over our love of transformations—the kind that shift your heart, mind and soul.  We Are HER Network—short for Healed, Empowered, Restored—is the kind of community that wraps you in warmth, started as a space to share survivor stories, and invites survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault into healing circles through retreats, education, and community lead healing.  In this conversation, Stevie open up about her spring awakening—a healing journey that’s been more like a winding garden path than a straight, scenic highway. Detours, pit stops, setbacks—you name it, it’s been part of the journey. But those twists? They’ve taught her that healing isn’t failure—it’s becoming. We talk about peeling off the masks, being our true selves, and leaning into a community that sees—and celebrates—every curve in our journey. Healing may not be linear, but it can be authentic, empowering, and, dare I say, a bit delightfully quirky along the way. Want to dive deeper?

    S.2 | Ep.7: Urban Farms, Resiliency + Hope

    In the midst of city life, where noise and busyness can keep us apart, there are spaces quietly bringing people back together. In this episode, we explore how a community-led project rooted in holistic, regenerative practices is creating a safe place for connection, healing, and growth. Here, it’s not just about growing plants—it’s about growing trust. It’s a space where the masks of everyday life come off, and people can show up as their true selves. Through shared work, open conversations, and the simple act of being seen, neighbors begin to heal from personal and collective traumas. The garden becomes a mirror, reflecting resilience, compassion, and hope for what’s possible when we come together with authenticity. Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey or seeking deeper connection in your community, this conversation will remind you that recovery and transformation thrive where people feel safe, valued, and seen.

    S.2 | Ep.6: Why Your Brain Freaks Out + How to "RAIN" It In!

    Ever found yourself reacting way out of proportion to something minor—like your coffee order being wrong or someone using “reply all”? Same. In this episode, we explore the RAIN Method, a mindfulness tool created by Tara Brach that helps you navigate emotional triggers with more clarity and compassion (and fewer dramatic text messages). RAIN stands for: Recognize what’s happening — Catch the feeling or thought in the moment.Allow it to be there — Instead of resisting or judging, make space for it.Investigate with curiosity — Where do you feel it in your body? What does it remind you of?Nurture with kindness — Offer yourself the support you actually need, not just another distraction.We also look at how yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness support this process—helping you interrupt old patterns, rewire your responses, and feel more grounded (even when life is... lifing). ✨ Let’s be real—healing isn’t always cute, but it is worth it.

    S.2 | Ep.5: Atomic Habits for Soulful Growth

    What if transforming your life didn’t mean overhauling everything overnight—but starting with one small, soul-aligned step? In this episode, I unpack how the 4-step framework from Atomic Habits—Cue, Craving, Response, Reward—can help us build habits that support not just productivity, but presence, healing, and self-love. And let’s be real—change is not easy. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and sometimes you’ll want to quit halfway through your meditation to check your email (same). But tiny shifts, done with intention, add up. I’ll share how I’ve used these tools to reconnect with my heart, slow down, and build a life that actually feels good on the inside. We’ll explore:🌿 What triggers your habits (and how to interrupt the old ones)🌿 Craving change that aligns with who you’re becoming🌿 Responding with grace instead of pressure🌿 Celebrating the small wins (yes, getting out of bed counts) Meeting Your Soul is a space for real conversations about healing, wholeness, and heart-centered growth. Let’s journey together—with ancient wisdom, somatic practices, and a whole lot of compassion. 🌀 Change is hard. You don’t have to do it alone.✨ Connect with me on Instagram @ferrahshino💻 Book a free intro coaching call at ferrahshino.com

    S.2 | Ep.4: Presence, Acceptance + Confidence

    Presence + Self Acceptance + Confidence = Authenticity Over the past decade, I've leaned into what true authenticity really means to me. Yoga has helped me peel back the layers of who I thought I should be to become who I truly am and allow others to see that full expression. However, I have struggled with people pleasing for years and have forgotten who I was in order to fit in. I've always regretted this and over the last few years specifically focused on shining as a bright as possible. So, tune in as I dive into the three key elements: 1. Finding Presence 2. Integrating Your Light + Dark 3. What does confidence look like to you?
