Remember those childhood pinky promises, swearing to always be friendsor never tell a secret?

Well, this week, we're bringing a grown-up version of this to tackle winter stress with Dr. Nina Beatie, and we'd love for you to be a part of it!

Dr. Beatie is not just a chiropractor; she's a true go-getter, always exploring and eager to get to the heart of any issue.

In this episode, Dr. Beatie shares insights from what she observes with her patients and draws from her personal experience in stress management.

During the winter of 2019, I thought it was a brilliant idea to train for a marathon.

Result?

A back injury. (I still can’t run without being reminded of it.)

Yep, not my brightest moment.

Dr. Beatie has her own tales of winter woes, which inspired our winter pact.

We realized we both had a knack for overdoing it during this season and needed to try something different.

Our rebellion against shorter days led to HIIT workouts, skiing, and ambitious New Year fitness resolutions. Sound familiar?

So, like two 8-year-olds, we created a winter pact—complete with a secret handshake—promising to slow down and be mindful of our bodies and the season.

Guess what?

It worked like magic.

No winter injuries AND a lot less stress!

Now, we're inviting you to join us.

>>>Listen to this week's episode to hear about THE WINTER PACT!

Just tune in to the podcast episode, and after, let us know what you want to pledge.

A little community support goes a long way, right?

AND change is so much easier with buddies.

As a community, we can navigate the winter without stress-induced injuries.

Listen to our winter pact story, get inspired, and pledge to bring some nap times, self-love, and gentle letting go to your winter season.

Imagine spring with renewed energy—totally injury-free!

How are you feeling about the holidays this year?

Are you excited about the lights, the gatherings, the yummy food, and the holiday cheer?

Or is there a sense of anxiety creeping in?

Because you know your to-do list is about to triple, you are grieving the loss of a loved one, or you know you’ll have to see Uncle Eddy—he totally creeps you out.

For a long time, my holidays were full of chaos.

My dad lived in an assisted living facility and would plead with us to let him move back home (which wasn’t possible because he needed full-time care.)

My mom would buy gifts we couldn’t afford.

Family gatherings felt like interrogation chambers, with questions about my personal life and job situation magnifying the areas where things weren't going well.

5 key questions you must answer before you decide if it's a good idea to help your loved one out financially.

Money is so much more than just numbers in your bank account.

Money has the incredible power to shine a spotlight on your deepest fears, and sometimes we make the mistake of attaching our self-worth to how much money we have or don’t have. It’s one of the ways we try to define our value. Emotions are intertwined with every dollar, every cent.

We often find ourselves wanting to be "perfect" in the eyes of others. We want to be the perfect daughter, the perfect son, or the perfect friend. We just want to be a good person. But lending or giving money to a loved one can be a tricky path to navigate when our need for validation is influencing our decision.

We may start with good intentions, but if we aren’t careful, our good deeds can spiral into resentment.

It's essential to get clear on your emotional motives before you make any financial decisions so you can avoid unintended harm in your relationships.

In this episode, you’ll uncover…

5 crucial questions you should be asking yourself before you give money to a loved one. 🤔

How to sidestep sneaky resentments or regret down the road. 🚀

Understand the emotional dynamics of money and why it isn’t just a math problem. 💰

Ways to take a step towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships. 🤗

Remember, your well-being and peace of mind are worth it. So join me on this insightful journey this week.

Let's have an honest heart-to-heart.

Healing isn’t the absence of uncomfortable feelings. It’s all about how you handle hard times.

If you're expecting to reach a point where you're completely healed, never having to deal with your past traumas again, well, I hate to break it to you, but that's setting yourself up for disappointment. Because being human means experiencing the full spectrum of emotions.

Personal and spiritual growth includes those moments when you fall apart, have a good cry, cancel appointments because you're having a rough day, and just accept that life doesn't always go according to plan. It's about going with the flow, even when the current feels more like a stormy sea.

You see, when we resist change or try to suppress our emotions, that's when life's challenges become even harder to bear. But here's the silver lining—no one has to navigate life alone, without help.

So, today, let's chat about all of this and more. It feels like the perfect time for a little check-in. So, get cozy, grab your favorite drink, and let's have a chat. I'll fill you in on what's been happening in my life and how I've been navigating it.

In this episode, we'll chat about:

How small wins are indicators of BIG changes.

Ways to support yourself and others during challenging seasons.

Healthy independence in relationships.

Life as a fire wife.

And here's a gentle reminder – always be kind to yourself. If you're going through a challenging season, lean on your tools, whether it's through writing, seeking coaching, connecting with your support system, getting in touch with your spiritual side, or perhaps a combination of all of the above.

You've got this!

This week, I share about my experience with alcoholism.

Up until November 2015, I struggled with alcohol abuse. This disease made me a victim of my surroundings. It wasn’t until things were spiraling that I was willing to make a change.

This brings me to one of our discussion topics…

It’s not cold or unkind to let people fall when they are unwilling to help themselves or in the throws of addiction.

When we love someone, we don’t want them to feel pain. However, this can lead us to sacrifice our own needs and desires to keep others afloat.

From personal experience, I am thankful that no one shielded me from my pain. Discomfort has been a profound teacher. Hard times were crucial in forging the amazing life I have today. Without the tools I learned to leave alcohol behind, I would not have the resources to handle life’s challenges in a healthy way.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

Addiction—why some people become addicted to alcohol, drugs, food, etc.

What an alcoholic or addict needs to change.

How to let go of harmful coping mechanisms.

How to create harmony in unhealthy relationships.

How to practice detachment in a kind and loving way.

It’s a conversation filled with insight and wisdom that will offer you valuable guidance in your journey toward greater harmony in your challenging relationships.

Grief can be a beast and a constant companion, but what if you could establish a healthy relationship with it?

Take away some coping mechanisms to handle your grief and learn how to be kind to yourself during tough times.

Believe me, grief is not a straight line but a winding path, and I hope my experiences can help you navigate yours.
