Inspired Grownups with Alana Banana Alana Banana

Have you heard of Heart Coherence? Today I'm talking with my friend, Mesha McKittrick, about what it is and how we're able to create more bliss, peace and joy in our lives when we're tapped in to it.

We've all been in a state of heart coherence at some point or another. Mesha is offering a 6 week course, Heart Sync, starting at the end of October 2023 teaching us the science behind it and how we can practice being in this place every day if we wanted to...and why would we NOT want to! I've signed up for it and if this conversation inspires you we'd love to see you there.

Mesha is a Mind & Heart Coach and creator of the podcast, Mindset Check. Through her brand My Friend Mesha, she is a Coach,  Social Influencer and a Public Speaker. She graduated from ASU with a degree in Communications and an emphasis in Family Studies. She is also a registered Heart Math Technician though the Heart Math Institute. Her passion is teaching people that they have more power than think they do. She believes that what matters in life is NOT what happens, what matters is what you THINK about what happens.
Mesha has been married to her boyfriend for 24 years. She has 3 boys and an angel girl and she absolutely adores being their mom. She geeks out about the brain, quantum physics, heart intelligence and loves to learn endlessly about these topics. She is a yogi inside and out and if you put on a good beat she can’t help but dance! Paddle boarding and hiking add to her happiness! 
She knows that when we live inspired it causes us to take actions that we otherwise would not have taken. It’s important for her to help others find the power that is already inside of them.

Today I'm talking with an incredible woman, musician, mom and fellow kid's artist, Molly Whuppie.  We discuss how she got her name, exposing kids to all the emotions through music and stories, how she got into music, being a mom and more. 

Molly is a children's music performer in Hawai'i.  She has a special place in her heart for traditional folk songs and many of the songs she shares are from her own childhood growing up in Canada.  
She is fascinated with folk song history and often shares unusual folk and novelty instruments in her live and online performances, such as the musical saw or the jaw harp.  She also incorporates folk toys, such as wooden spoon dolls and jig dolls, into her songs.   Sometimes she plays a paper bag to demonstrate that music is everywhere if you look for it.  Families resonate with her gentle and playful approach to community music.

Over the past few years Molly has amassed over 875,000 social media followers by uploading daily videos featuring nostalgic and historical children's songs.   She has transcended the "children's music" genre into a sort of "  of memories" for all ages.  In the comments sections, people share how they play her videos to connect with memory-loss patients, as calming sleep aids, and as tools for managing anxiety attacks. 

In regards to being a children's music performer, she says, "Children are hardwired to respond to music. You don't need a lot of bells and whistles to earn their attention; you just need to be kind and sing good songs.   Some of these kids are going to remember these songs for the rest of their lives, so I have a responsibility to choose the songs wisely.”  

She has released three singles this past year, all in preparation for her upcoming album releases planned for this fall.

What if the only job you had was to follow what excites you? The big and small things...everyday. 

We are capable of creating beautiful lives for ourselves. That can really start with following and doing what is exciting to us whether it's for ourselves or in service of others, or both! 

This last episode in the CREATE series is all about EXCITEMENT. I also share our new music single for kids that will be released on all streaming platforms  9/4/23 "Monkey in a Trash Truck"!

I believe we're all creative and are here to create. We're being creative everyday in how we go about living our day to day lives.

For the past month I've been breaking down the word CREATE and talking about what each letter represents to me and how we can all use it to uplift our own lives.

These are the topics we've been diving into for this solo mini series:
C - Clarity
R - Rest
E - Ease
A - Attitude
T - Trust
E - Excitement

The most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Getting clear on what we want and trusting our inner knowing and deepest desires.  What kind of life do we want to create and can we trust ourselves to make the best choice? We get into this today.

I also bring up something I talked about last year during my INSPIRED series; the difference between FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) and FAITH (Fully Anticipating Incredible Things Happening). 

This 5th episode of the CREATE series is all about TRUST.

I believe we're all creative and are here to create. We're being creative everyday in how we go about living our day to day lives.

For the past month I've been breaking down the word CREATE and talking about what each letter represents to me and how we can all use it to uplift our own lives.

We can always choose what kind of attitude we want to have no matter what is going on around us and in each moment we have a chance to start over.  Truly! With each breath can can decide how we want to feel and focus on that. 

In this 4th episode of the CREATE series I'm talking about ATTITUDE. 

I believe we're all creative and are here to create. We're being creative everyday in how we go about living our day to day lives.

For the next month I'm breaking down the word CREATE and talk about what each letter represents to me and how we can all use it to uplift our own lives.
