    Ep. 92 - Live in Your Wheel House and A Home You Love With Help From Kim Costa, Realtor, Author and TV/Podcast Host

    This week’s conversation is with Kim Costa, one of Atlanta’s top realtors who is also a TV host, podcaster, and soon to be author! We talked about how a home should be a reflection of self but what happens when we’re out of alignment? Kim shares how getting in alignment directly affects how we feel about our home as well as tools she uses to help her clients figure out where things are “off”. These tools and information help her help her clients decide whether they should stay in their current home, renovate their space, or move to a new home in order to match who they are to a space that feels the most “home” to them This information helpful to anyone who is trying to buy a home or feeling unsure of where they’re currently living, from first-home buyers to empty-nesters! This applies to everyone!

    Ep. 91 - What HRV Is and Why I’m Using It As a True Measurement of My Health

    t's been a couple of months since I've been paying attention to a new health measurement, HRV, which stands for Heart Rate Variability. The reason I'm paying attention to it is because HRV reflects my nervous system's adaptability and how well I respond to stressors, both physical and mental. It just may be the truest measure of my health because if my nervous system isn't resilient, my body won't be either. Learn more about HRV: Evie article -What is HRV and How Is It Different in Women?

    Yes, I'm still living alcohol-free but it’s not without some bumps and bruises. I'm sharing some recent experiences that have left me with feeling both frustrated and grateful.

    Ep. 89 - Self-Expression Through Creativity And The Lifeline It Offers

    I wholeheartedly believe we are all creative beings, just in different ways. Some people paint, some write, some design gardens, and some design buildings. Creativity is what helps us fully express ourselves, all with some serious side benefits like reducing stress and anxiety. Yes, please. Today, I’m sharing my own story of how I “found” my creativity, what it’s done for me, and what it can do for you. Expressing ourselves through our creativity will never be time or effort wasted, I promise you. SHOW NOTES: Episode 1 of the podcast where I give a recap of how I got “here”. Episode 61 where I talk about feeling unsupported, which you may resonate with if you are pursuing a creative endeavor ****** Follow Hallie on socials: IG @theawedlife and @hallie_sawyer Threads: @Hallie_Sawyer TikTok: @theAWEdLife  Podcast to follow - Dear Nina, Conversations About Friendship, with my friend, Nina Badzin Watch all the podcast episodes here: YouTube: @Hallie_Sawyer ****** Subscribe to my Substack for my monthly newsletter, updates, weekly essays, to support the podcast, or to join our private AWEd AF community. ****** The AWEd Life podcast is supported by:  ION Intelligence of Nature Gut Support: Defend from toxins, support healthy digestion, and boost immune function Four Sigmatic Coffee- Unlock the power of mushrooms by ordering here and using Hallie10 for a 10% discount  PERFECT AMINO™ is composed of pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, in a form and ratio that is up to 99% utilized, but without the caloric impact and without breaking a fast.  Get 20% off with this link Tenzo Tea- my favorite matcha!

    Rebuilding Her Life, with Mallory Andrews

    Wow. Mallory and I had the best chat about the deconstruction and reconstruction of herself, her marriage, her religion, and so much more. She’s rebuilding her life in a way she’s always wanted and such a great example of what can happen when we choose ourselves. I hope you find her story as relatable and inspiring as I do.

    Ep. 87 - Kindness As Our Superpower

    Lately, I’ve been thinking about how I show up for people and if I’m doing it enough. Maya Angelou said it best…”'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” And I can’t help think that if we focused a bit more on how we can positively impact others, through acts of kindness, encouraging words, thoughtful gifts, etc., then we’re going to be leaving this world better than we found it. Today, I’m reflecting on my own actions and if I’m doing enough as well as how it’s being received. I’d appreciate your listen and sharing it with someone you care deeply about! ****** Follow Hallie on socials: IG @theawedlife and @hallie_sawyer Threads: @Hallie_Sawyer TikTok: @theAWEdLife  Podcast to follow - The OCD Confessional with my friend, Alicia Hill and her co-host Liam Martin Watch all the podcast episodes here: YouTube: @Hallie_Sawyer ****** Subscribe to my Substack for my weekly newsletter, podcast updates, weekly posts, to support the podcast, or to join our private AWEd AF community. ****** The AWEd Life podcast is supported by:  ION Intelligence of Nature Gut Support: Defend from toxins, support healthy digestion, and boost immune function Four Sigmatic Coffee- Unlock the power of mushrooms by ordering here and using Hallie10 for a 10% discount  PERFECT AMINO™ is composed of pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, in a form and ratio that is up to 99% utilized, but without the caloric impact and without breaking a fast.  Get 20% off with this link Tenzo Tea- my favorite matcha!

    Ep. 86: From Hell And Back To Around The World And Back with Kate Moon

    My guest today is Kate Moon, yoga teacher, mentor, and retreat leader, whom I met last spring at a women’s retreat at Sansara Resort in Panama. Kate was the retreat liaison for guests while we were there and I instantly knew Kate was someone I wanted to get to know more. I kept in touch with her via DM’s on Instagram and once I learned more about her life story, I knew I had to bring her to your attention. As the title says, Kate has been to hell and back but now takes her clients around the world and back on her amazing retreats. I can’t wait for you to listen to her incredible story and hope you find her as AWEd as I do. SHOW NOTES: Follow Kate here: her website (with retreat information!)
