    Meditation: Why You Need It & How to Get Started, with Deanna Wheeler

    Ep 21  When I mention meditation, I either get eye rolls or lots of enthusiasm as a response. I used to be in the first group, but I kept hearing about the benefits and then I really needed help with my stress and lack of focus in life.  When I finally got serious and cultivated my meditation practice, there was no turning back!  Unfortunately, in our crazy, frenetic modern world, meditation seems so old world - and who has time to slow down and sit in silence anyways? Let me just say, it can change your entire outlook and experience of life. No exaggeration. Join me for a fantastic conversation with mindfulness and meditation expert, Deanna Wheeler. She shares why she's so passionate about sharing meditation with as many people as possible, plus fantastic tips to overcome some of the most common reasons why people have a hard time getting started. Here's more about Deanna: Deanna turned to meditation at a time in her life when she needed hope. She was managing the weight of grief heavier than anything she had ever felt before. She found herself in a very high state of stress and her body was really in fight or flight mode, constantly. It was years before she realized the effects and what neglecting this stress had done to her.  After learning the power of meditation firsthand, she wanted to help others do the same. She started teaching meditation to help people focus on what truly matters, being part of their life instead of watching it pass them by. Often, we don’t know how to be an active participant in life, we're not present and aware of what is happening. She teaches practical mindfulness tools that can be used to help regulate emotions, increase attention, and practice self-kindness. Her mission is to help you get off the sidelines so you can really LIVE your life!  To find out more about Deanna and how she can help you experience all of the amazing benefits of meditation and mindfulness, check out these links: Biz Bestie Break (group meditation sessions for entrepreneurs): https://rawwellness.thrivecart.com/biz-bestie-break-membership/ Deanna's email: rawwellness16@gmail.com Website: www.deannawheeler.life  Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/595073757750152 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deanna__wheeler/

    5 Things I Learned from Jumping Out of a Plane - Dori Martin

    019 In this episode, I share how I how found myself jumping out of a plane 13,000 feet above the earth's surface (it's never been on my bucket list to go skydiving!) and some fun things I learned from the experience. Yes, this probably has to do with a midlife crisis, which I am defining as a journey of continued self discovery, breaking apart the confining labels I've used to define myself, and opening up to adventures, & possibilities, while pushing past limiting beliefs and fears. I would say it's been about taking the leap of faith, both symbolically and through an actual leap- out of a fully functioning plane! This led  to a mindset of seeking out more adventures, a renewed focus on living life by taking worthwhile risks, gaining a bigger appreciation for life, and the power of sharing your passions to spark others to also pursue the things that light them up. I hope you'll listen in and feel free to reach out and share what YOU are  going to do to create more adventure, bust limiting beliefs, and reach for your dreams in life. :) Please subscribe and share so we can continue to seek joy,  ditch stress and get healthy together. www.dorimartin.com IG: @dorimartin_coach Ditch the diet roller coaster ride Get my Stop Cravings Fast guide here: www,dorimartin.com/stop-cravings-fast Video of my skydiving experience:  https://skydive.shredvideo.com/f/q6edyy9Bpw

    Energy Medicine for Stress & High Performance with Susan Davis, ThM

    015 Energy medicine is the healing modality of the future according to many health professionals. This is an interesting perspective, because energy healing is actually a very ancient modality that's been around since the beginning of time. It's really about returning to our roots and using our innate intuition and spiritual awareness as well as all of the physical pillars of health to not only heal but thrive! Today's guest, Susan Davis, has worked with not only people in extreme crisis including combat vets struggling with PTSD and the major challenges of becoming re-integrated into civilian life,  but also elite athletes and entrepreneurs who are striving to excel in their chosen fields. In this episode, Susan shares how she helps people easily manage stress and build resilience with energy medicine as well as simple steps to work with your biology even if you have very little time. Any significant change happens with a decision to take action and be consistent. She also shares what it's like to experience her Resolution Experience process, where you get to finally uncover the subconscious beliefs that are preventing you from healing or reaching your goals in life. The subconscious mind controls most of your results in life, so this can be a huge game changer for anyone who feels stuck and doesn't know why they aren't making any real progress despite struggling to succeed or to heal.
