Lastly, Will wraps it all up with some profound sage advice.

To be completely honest, before chatting with Will, I was experiencing a bout of the January blahs. It's been super cold and super gray where we live. After our conversation, my energy totally shifted. It was like I had just taken a breath of fresh air.
I felt energized, hopeful, and inspired.

I sincerely hope that you get to connect with a bit of that energy too!

That's the voice of Sam Alexandra Rose...

Today on Living Big Mindfully Sam is in the spotlight!  Sam is an incredible woman with an inspirational story, exactly the kind of story that I love to share with you. Sam was born with a rare genetic condition, and she is an author and a three-time cancer survivor!

Sam starts by telling us a little about that genetic disorder, her personal story, and some of the journey it's taken to get her to where she is today. 

Then we take a deep dive and talk about how this has affected her life, her identity, and all the work it has taken to rebuild those things. 

We chat about how she's been able to manage the rollercoaster of the emotional ups and downs and all the highs and lows - I can't even imagine!

Then Sam shares a little bit about how she found and used creative writing to begin to make meaning and sense of everything that she's been through.

• How to help a sensitive child or grandchild navigate the world.

You’ll also learn why Signe sees self-love, self-awareness, and connection with the natural world as fundamental to balance, purpose, & joy. 

Every so often I have a conversation with someone who pours out so much love & wisdom – this is one of the episodes.

Today on Living Big Mindfully we are exploring money, retirement & financial preparedness with money educator Brittany Ballard

Brittany is a Senior broker at Wealthwave who’s helping people from all walks of life get their financial houses in order.

So, why are we talking about money today? Well, three things:

•  I believe financial health is a huge part of our overall wellness. 
•  Poor financial health can affect our ability to live intentionally. 
•   And, these are learnable skills – it’s never too late to learn…

Coincidently, this is a topic that’s close to both our hearts – we both have powerful origin stories about money - which is probably why we connected. 

So, whether you are scratching nickels or fairly well off. This conversation has something for everyone…

Brittany starts out by sharing a bit about her personal story and her why…

Then we dive in, talking about money. Learn about:

•  Managing debt
• Saving
• The power of paying yourself first
• Why social security might not be enough…

Then we focus specifically on women’s financial health - with some stats, forecasts, and strategies to get you heading in the right direction.

What if you’re a late starter? No problem. We cover that too…

This episode is packed with actionable tips & strategies. And Brittany rounds it all off with some insightful sage advice…    

As always, you’ll find links to everything in the show notes – including access to your gift copy of the book The How Money Works - Which is a must-read!

Brittany and I connected so deeply about this topic – I am excited to announce that Brittany has agreed to do a Money Part II – so stay tuned for more about money, financial preparedness, and how the heck it all works! 

Here's more about Brittany:

She's a Senior broker at Wealthwave - The How Money Works Company...
Brittany was previously a dental hygienist who wanted more from life/business. She comes from middle American family who dealt with many financial challenges and learned the hard way through some of them.

Perfect timing as we head into this holiday season. Right?

Deanna starts by sharing a bit about her personal story which takes her back to her teens as she shares more about her entry into the diet world and the effects it has had on her life.

We chat about diet culture, how pervasive it is today, and the mental, emotional, and physical toll many people are experiencing because of it.

Today on Living Big Mindfully we are exploring suicide, family secrets, and monsters with author Sandra Rostirolla.

A heavy & important topic for sure

Here in the US, we are seeing increased rates of suicide particularly in our younger populations. Furthermore, the ripple effects of suicide or suicide attempts are devasting. 

This conversation with author and mental health advocate Sandra is warm, heartfelt, open, and honest…

As women, we were both raised in families with “secrets”, we connect, share our perspectives, and offer listeners a glimmer of hope.

Sandra has a powerful, lived experience with suicide - so we begin with a bit about her story…

Then we dive in and talk about:

• The power of family secrets
• Breaking the silence
• The importance of honesty & accessing care

Throughout the show, Sandra shares tips & strategies to help with:

• Breaking cycles
• Improving communication
• And what we might say to someone after a loss…

 Of course, Sandra wraps up offering us some sage advice… pertinent for all the aspiring writers out there😊    

See the show notes for links to connect you with information about suicide, suicide prevention, and, of course, Sandra’s book – Making Friends with Monsters…

Remember, suicide is preventable. Communication, advocacy, education, and access to quality care are vital. We hope you find this conversation helpful.

Here's  more about Sandra:

 My family has a long history of suicide (my father when I was thirteen & two brothers some years later). I wrote Making Friends with Monsters - offering children and parents a language where they feel comfortable talking about feelings and emotions that often get buried because no one knows how to begin the conversation.

 In today’s episode of Living Big Mindfully, I am talking with Mayda Poc. Mayda is a cancer survivor and  recovering overachiever whose body said NO MORE! 

Mayda starts by sharing her inspirational story which took her from immigrant to financial guru to overachiever, to people pleaser to cancer survivor – and now to coach as she helps other women get off the Type A / perfectionistic hamster wheel… 

Listen and learn about: 

• The type A personality 
• The art of setting – and sticking to your boundaries 
• And why we must get better at listening to our bodies… 

Then we chat about cultural, corporate, & gender influences – see if you may be at higher risk for burnout or a health crisis.

Of course, throughout the conversation, Mayda shares lots of tips, strategies, and sage advice… 

As always, make sure you check out the show notes for those resources. 

Here's more about Mayda:
As your typical overachiever, Mayda holds multiple certifications and accreditations: Executive and Leadership Coaching, as well as Life and Health coaching.  A Certified Hypnotist, Mayda also uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming as well as Emotional Freedom Technique.

Mayda speaks 4 languages, having spent part of her childhood in Syria and then in France.  She now resides in New York City with her hubby.

Today on Living Big Mindfully we are having a few laughs as we explore pee, poop, periods & more with outdoor advocates  Becca & Dani Titterton.

Becca and Dani are a mother-and- daughter team –  both avid hikers and passionate about keeping trails clean, and normalizing personal hygiene needs when out on the trail. 

Whether you are female, male, a day hiker, a backpacker, new to the trail, or a seasoned trail rat… this conversation has something for everyone!

Becca & Dani start with a bit about their personal story and how their company Your Yuckies was born. Then we dive into the fun stuff…

So, strap in. Get ready to laugh & learn as we unpack how to handle: 

• Pee
• Poop
• Periods
• Trash

And general personal hygiene while out on the trail

Then we talk about:

Prepping & planning for trips

We discuss products – pros, cons & share some of our personal preferences and experiences.

We take a deep dive into the Leave No Trace principles & why following them  is so important.

This conversation is full of fun, creative tips & strategies…  

As always, the show notes will have links so you can access resources!

Our hope is by sharing this fun, open, honest conversation you will feel empowered, supported, and feel comfortable enough to get out and explore the great outdoors – no matter where you are in your journey!

Here's more about Becca & Dani:
