The SheFactor Podcast Tori Ganahl

In case you didn't notice (because let's be real, we all have a LOT going on these days), I've been MIA since August 2021. SO much has happened and I'm giving you the FULL update here in this episode. From my health to moving to Denver to relationship ups and downs, navigating this season of my life has been far from easy. But I'm coming to you as a new woman. A woman I wouldn't have dreamed of being six months ago. 

In this episode, I deep dive into:


The pivotal moments that led me to my six-month hiatus
My reflections on this journey I've been on, what it's meant to me, and how I've navigated it
Radical self-honesty about being in integrity, loving yourself, and setting boundaries
How I'm integrating all the lessons I learned and moving forward

You know those moments of regret that still haunt you from your PRE-growth journey? All those drunk hookups, toxic friendships, and cries for love & attention... yeah, those moments. Those are all thanks to EMOTIONAL ILLITERACY, aka the lack of control over our emotions and our inability to healthfully cope.

On the other side of the regrets, missteps, and "WTF" moments is EMOTIONAL HEALTH. And today's guest Ali McGregor is joining us to share how she found her way back to peace, self-love, and resilience after a long stint of illiteracy, unworthiness, and unmet expectations.

ALI'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS:


One of my proudest moments was finally turning inwards and truly loving my body, no longer being so nasty and negative towards it. Being able to catch myself now and having that awareness has been like letting go of 100 pounds of dead weight like I'm coming back to me.
Along the way, I found out a lot of what I DON'T like. It's like finding a needle in the haystack... You just have to start somewhere and figure it out along the way. But if you sit around and wait for the moment, it's just never right.
You can be CREATIVE. You don't have to be stuck in these cookie-cutter positions that everyone has already done. You might not know what you want to do today because that job might not be created. So go design & create it yourself!
Pursue anything RELENTLESSLY and just go for it. And know that it's not a failure if something doesn't go right. It was just a learning lesson along the way.

In the first episode of this new chapter of The SheFactor Podcast, 26-year-old Emma Musto shares her real-life 20's version of Eat Pray Love (minus the divorce and Julia Roberts). In fact, it just might be better than the classic book & movie we all love…

Needless to say, Emma was never destined for a “traditional” life, starting from the time she and her single mom lived 50/50 between Romania and Miami. It took a LOT of sudden change, wrong directions, and doing what she felt like she “should” before finally realizing that society’s “norm” just wasn’t her style. Today, her style looks more like living “VanLife” with her husband from South Africa, who she manifested and met in the same night while in Bali for a yoga retreat and proceeded to travel the world with for the entire next year. You can’t make this stuff up.

EMMA'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS:


You have to do the hard things that weren’t meant for you to discover the things that WERE meant for you, even if you have to change course a million times over.
All of the uncomfortable moments and complete meltdowns will ultimately end up pointing you in the right direction.
What feels like a “quarter-life crisis” is really just your intuition guiding you towards what FEELS right, rather than what you THINK needs to happen.
We may think we’re chasing happiness but what we really want is freedom. Freedom to be who we want to be and live life on our own terms.

Our twenties are so much about unlearning everything we’ve been spoon-fed up to this point so we can return to the core of who we really are. As we grow up and start to do the inner work, we can unlearn all of the stories and beliefs conditioned to protect us over the years and tap into those traits and gifts still within us -- our natural-born state of love, enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity, compassion -- to enhance our quality of life, well-being, and happiness as an adult!  

By healing, the positive traits of our inner child have room to shine. We unlock our true gifts, our inner curiosity, and our limitless capacity to love, the inner compass of who we are and always have been. We've had her in us all along, and she'll always be there for us to come back to. So how do we reconnect and awaken that light within us? And how do we keep that light shining BRIGHT through the anticipated roller coaster of adulthood? 

In today's episode, Tori talks about: 


The secret to self-acceptance
Traveling back to your childhood in order to reveal your most authentic self
The massive shift that happens when you're doing the inner work
Calling on your inner child to see your life's path & purpose
Journal prompts, activities, and a guided meditation

The truth about self-growth is that it's not always pretty. In fact, it can be raw, emotional, hard, and exhausting. And sometimes you get so caught up in who you're becoming that you forget who you are. This week, Tori talks about the difference between being vulnerable with others and really being vulnerable with yourself. 

In this journey of self-discovery and evolution, we all have dark moments. We are all moving through something behind the Instagram highlight reel, the habitual "I'm good" or "I'm fine" response to "How are you?", the unanswered text messages, DM's, and phone calls. Behind all of those things, we're deeply feeling and transforming. But how do you make sure that through that transformation, you don't completely lose touch with what makes you, YOU? 

In today's episode, Tori talks about: 


Reflections on her self-growth journey since last December
A very vulnerable moment she never expected to share
The #1 sign that something in your life needs to shift
How to stay true to yourself through massive transformation
Being vulnerable with others vs. being vulnerable with YOURSELF 

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2, COMING SOON!
