See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday Nina Blaicher

After a devastating diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in her mid 20's, Traci Hill decided to make some changes. Through health and wellness focused experimentation and practices, she completely changed her life and is now totally symptom free. 

Traci healed herself by starting with healing her heart, and the results were nothing short of remarkable. Along the way she realized that the power to change and choose better was inside of her and she had been giving away that power her entire life. The beauty of that? 

In the episode we talk about: 
How important it is to take charge of your own wellness and healingThe body’s incredible ability to heal itself through intention and emotional well beingHow when we decide for ourselves how we want to feel and live we become empowered in our livesHow to release trapped emotions and how it can lead to physical healingConnecting to your intuition as a roadmap to healingWhy becoming heart centered is so important and how it can change the way you feel Reconnecting to your feminine energy and why it’s importantA simple, easy first step to feeling better immediately Handling changing relationships during your own healing/growth journeyHow our energy connects to others and shifts and changes with our healingWhy love, peace and joy are so much easier than we make it out to beTraci's story is incredibly inspiring. Who knew that we held so much power over our own happiness, health and overall wellbeing?  What a beautiful reminder that we ALWAYS have the power to change our lives and make it better. And the first step is to realize it.

Does your relationship fulfill you on a soul level? Do you connect with your partner in a conscious, deep way? Are you unsure about how to even start that conversation?
 
Many relationships struggle to find deeper connection. Our busy, fast paced lives make slowing down and connecting meaningfully difficult, but the amazing news is -  it IS possible - whether your relationship is new or you've been together a long time - it just takes a little courage, patience and intention.
 
So how do you make it happen? What's the best way to offer the invitation in a heart centered, loving way that feels authentic, safe and allows vulnerability, creating that trust and openness?
 
In this interview with Marc Wendt, we peel back the layers about intimacy and connection in relationships. We discuss the complexities of what most men really want and how to better understand what they're feeling.  Marc shares practical ways to invite deeper discussions, how to gently nudge your partner (and yourself!) down the path to closer connection, leading to deeper intimacy.  You may be surprised to realize that your partner is probably craving it just as much as you are.
 
Some of the areas we hit:
How to get connected into our bodies and why this helps us tap into our emotionsWhy becoming aware of our emotions actually makes us more powerfulHow breath work brings us into self-awareness and is the beginning of creating intimacy with another personWhere gratitude comes in and how it creates connectionWhy requests can feel like complaintsWhat emotional intelligence is and how to get itWhy tragedy is often the gateway to connecting to emotions for menWhy it’s important to allow our partners to express themselves without having to fix itWhat is courageous curiosity and how it can really open up your relationshipThe importance of entering into creating intimacy with an open heart and assuming good Remembering it’s a practice - the more you do it, the more depth you getWhat are triggers and how to regulate the nervous system through breathing like navy seals doThis interview was so inspiring.  It made me realize that intimacy and connection truly is a practice. It takes time, patience, willingness and openness,  but it really IS possible and most of the time it's what everyone involved truly - down to their soul -  is really craving. It's a delicate dance to get there, but SOOOO worth the effort and is a precious gift to share with someone you love deeply.
 
We all deserve beautiful, soul filling, heart centered, deep, connected, love. The pathway there begins through becoming aware of ourselves, knowing it's available, committing to it and then - here's the hardest part- actually opening up to it.
This episode dives into this complex and nuanced topic in detail.

We all could use a BFF that gives to us straight. Who wants the very BEST for us, who knows how special and deserving we are, and wants us to find  happiness and heart bursting, inspiring, best version of ourselves love.  

She's here. Crystal is your new bestie who loves you to death, but tells you the truth. The kind of truth you need to hear when you're hanging on to relationships that don't bring out the best in you, when you're settling for less that you want and less than you deserve.  The one who tells you...

Girl, that's not working for you. 
I love you too much to let you settle. 
I know you can have everything you want. 
I know WHO you are and WHAT you deserve.
I know what you look like when you blossom and that's what I want for you. 

In this episode, we deep dive into all things love, romance and dating. How can we shift our energy to call in what we really want? How can we elevate ourselves to show up as the VERY best version of ourselves in love and know how to recognize and say no to the dynamics that don't serve us. 

Crystal delivers the answers. Some of them will you have you laughing because you KNOW you do those things and you shouldn't! She calls us out gently with kindness and love, holds up the mirror to show us what exactly is going on and provides the tools to create deep  - I mean soul and subconscious DEEP  - change. Change for GOOD and change that will make you happy in your soul, even while you're waiting for that heart connected relationship to manifest. 

In the episode we talk about: 
How important the energy exchange between two people are in a relationshipWhy we get stuck in old relationship patternsHow changing our subconscious beliefs is the key to stepping into our worthWhy successful women can have difficulty with relationship dynamicsWhy the person who is a fun date may not be the best partnerHow to attract an emotionally available partnerWhy the energy we emit could repelling love and connectionHow valuing yourself is the key to being valued in a relationshipWhat to do if you are having trouble letting go of an old relationshipWhy having fun dating is important even when you don't feel like itWhy it's so important to never settle and how to do it
Crystal openly shares her own story about how she shifted her energy in love and dating and manifested the love of her life. She is now married to her soul mate with two gorgeous kids and shares her wisdom with us. 
 
The relationship you want is possible.   Listen and learn how. xoxo

In this episode, Astrologer, Shaman and all around intuitive rockstar, Benjamin Bernstein reads my natal chart.  
We deep dive into all the ways I have opportunity to heal and grow, expand and blossom and live my very best life. 
I've always been fascinated with Astrology and how we are all unique intuitive beings connected to something greater than ourselves. I was aware of my sun sign (Virgo), Moon Sign (Aries) and Ascendant (Pisces) and the general idea of that they mean - 
Sun - your identity, who you are are your essence
Moon - how you feel, who you are when noone is watching
Ascendant - how you present yourself to the world. 

But in this episode we deep dive into SOOOO much more and I was blown AWAY by the accuracy and insight Benjamin was able to provide from my chart. I felt incredibly inspired and validated. It explained so much and gave me some areas to really explore and celebrate in such a beautiful way. 

I highly recommend doing a reading if you're feeling stuck, confused, want to learn more about your purpose, understand your emotions and relationships better or are just plain curious. So much here!

In the interview we touch on: 
How to tell the difference between an intuitive hit and a passing thoughtWhat my purpose is and how I can fully express it in the worldThe meaning of each of the planets and their position in my chartHow the houses fit in and what that means How to best approach relationships based on my chart What I should look for in a partner to make me feel most fulfilled and connectedWhat is a Yod and how it plays in your life purposeHow to be empathetic while protecting your own energyWhat happens when a planet is in it's own house (Jupiter is in my career house and in Sag)What is means for signs to be fixed, cardinal or mutableWhat's in store for me right now and how to maximize the energy in the universe at this momentLoved this SO much! Hope you enjoy this look into what a natal chart ready can look like and how much fun it can be!

I think we all like to do a little bit of decluttering for the new year. Getting rid of the old and changing up the things that no longer serve us. What we may not realize until we're actually doing it, is it can be really hard to let go.  Why do we get so attached to things? Why do we want to hang on even when we know it's not good for us or when we may not even like something? 

In this episode with Conny Graf we talk about clutter. I'm not just talking about physical clutter, although we get into that too, it's the extra things we hang onto that take up space, energy in our head and our hearts that could actually be weighing us down, creating blocks and stopping us from becoming our highest, best version of ourselves. 

Simplifying and letting go of clutter can be so incredibly freeing. It feels light, clean, simple and open.  It can lift us up and inspire us. And it allows us to really soak in and focus on the beauty and the things we love which become much more visible and clear when we declutter. 

In the episode we talk about: 
How to decide which items to keep when going through a loved ones itemsThe various kinds of clutter and how they're connectedHow clutter ties into worthinessHow to clean out your closet and why it can totally uplevel your mood for the entire dayWhy many people get overwhelmed with declutteringWhy the emotionally charged items are not where you want to beginWhy our environment has such a strong impact on how we feel What is a love tour and what it can tell you about your homeThe surprising place most women stash their clutterHow clutter factors into getting great sleepThe easy simple way to know if you should keep something or give it awayWhy we should be using our “special” things every day rather than hiding themWhich room to start decluttering in firstHow you can create incredible connection with someone over declutteringHow decluttering can help process traumaWhat are some ways you are hanging on to clutter? How can you currate a home and a life that is beautiful and elevates your consciousness and mood? This episode will get you thinking about it and help you navigate the obstacles that can come while decluttering.

For the 50th episode - yay! And the last episode of 2022, it's only fitting to have the topic be around positive energy. 
We are all energetic beings that embody, create, share, exchange manifest and emit energy to each other. So wouldn't you want that energy to feel good, be positive, and to become a light that you share and shine on others? 
I think we all WANT to be that and feel that, but with life happening and obstacles in the way, it can be difficult to connect with that part of ourselves. 

In this episode, I speak with energy expert, Carolina Ayala. Carolina struggled with her own low vibrational energy caused by not living aligned with who she truly was. It was through consciously realizing this wasn't how and who she wanted to be, that she was able to shift her mindset, her energy and her life. 

In the episode we talk about: 


What is life force or Prana healing and how it can change your lifeHow to know when to put in effort and when to let go and allowWhat are the basic laws of energy How energy follows your intention and your intention creates your realityWhy applying the lessons we learn is so important to how we view life challengesHow working with your energy is like working out,  it’s a practice and results happen over time. Why being happy is a skill you can developHow we are conditioned to focus on problems and negativityWhy it’s important to ask if you are intentionaly creating your reality or reacting to a situationHow separating our identity from our problems will relieve much of our suffering Why letting go of perfection on your personal growth journey is so important to progressHow to know if you are living focused on comparisonHarnessing our emotions and realizing they are information, but not necessarily the truth of what isHow to set the energy tone in a relationship
One of my greatest goals on my own personal growth journey is to vibrate higher daily. To embody positivity, see the opportunity in the challenges and to share light with others. This conversation reminded me that this is a practice. That there is no arriving or mastering, but only continual expansion and growth and that through the realization that we aren't perfect and we aren't SUPPOSED to be perfect, but rather are on a quest to simply do our best every day, is so soul filling and inspiring.
