Hey Modern Broads! In this episode I get verrrrrry real and vulnerable! (I feel like I've been saying that a lot...which is good since that's kind of the whole point!)Around Christmas and NYE I went through a week of HEAVY emotions. I was feeling very unmotivated, I was irritable, everything seemed unsure to me, I was sad/frustrated/confused/angry/disappointed...things felt off and so heavy.We ALL go through  difficult situations, life challenges, feelings of depression, etc. If we're able to see these periods of our lives as the gifts that they are, we can awaken, expand, and elevate ourselves to a place of greater alignment, ease, and joy.In this episode, I share the following...My experience with this challenging weekStrategies to support yourself through difficult times in your lifeHow I allowed this to be a moment of expansionMy plans to implement what I learned from this experienceResources from this episode: Source Messages (Instagram)Align by Design (Instagram)IG: @modern.broadFB: The Modern Broad Squad

Hey Modern Broads! In this week's F*CK IT FRIDAY episode we're diving into new year's resolutions. #yuckIt's that time of year where there's so much pressure to completely transform - new year, new you! Now you all know I'm all about growth and transformation, but NOT when it comes from a place of external pressure or because you're not feeling good enough.Instead of resolutions, I give you some DO's as we head into the new year. The first step is taking a moment to reflect back on the year we just had. It was full of challenges for many of us, but I encourage you to find the silver lining - the growth, the lessons that came out of the struggle. Another tip I share is to choose a word for the year. For 2021, my word was "alignment". For 2022, it's "embodiment". If you choose a word for 2022, please share it with me! I absolutely love hearing what everyone is focusing on!!

Hey Modern Broads! In this episode, I explore the basics of manifestation - of turning a thought, idea, desire, or dream into physical reality.

I specifically cover:The definition of manifestationThe role of energeticsSpiritual and scientific support The basic manifestation process = ask, believe, act, receiveOther important pieces: self-worth, expanders, testsExamples of things I'v personally manifestedResources from this episode: The Secret (Book, Documentary)To Be Magnetic - Lacy Phillips (Website, Instagram)Manifestation Babe (Instagram)Gala Darling (Instagram)IG: @modern.broadFB: The Modern Broad Squad

Hey Modern Broads! Welcome back for another episode of F*CK IT FRIDAY! This week we're taking on "normal"...To summarize, "Normal is the death of extraordinary. And you are meant to be extraordinary." We quickly learn social norms as we grow up - you know, the ways in which we need to act or who we need to be in order to be loved, to belong, to fit in. But too often we get so caught up in following the "normal" path, that we lose our authenticity along the way. Which means we lose our unique magic that we came to earth to share. In this episode, I share some of the struggles I've had with following the normal path, as well as some of the ways I choose to be different. Ultimately, it's about looking internally, instead of externally, to know the best way to show up in our lives. Below are the questions I share in the episode. I hope you'll take time to journal on them, or at least think them over...Where in your life are you showing up in a certain way because it's what everyone else is doing? How are you showing up just so that you’ll fit in and be accepted? Where are you living inauthentically?Imagine you started living completely aligned with your authentic self…how would you show up? What would be different? Would you live somewhere else? Have a different job? Be single? Look different? Once you've got clarity on that...WHAT THE FUCK IS STOPPING YOU?? Go deep here - this is where the conditioning / subconscious programming / and your shadow come in.What parts of yourself have you learned to hide? When did you learn to hide them? Who taught you that you needed to hide them? This is where inner child healing and shadow work can be incredibly transformational…IG: @modern.broadFB: The Modern Broad Squad

Hey Modern Broads! I am so excited to share my conversation with Alexandra DeMartini with you! Alexandra is a spiritual leader and mentor who works with highly sensitive people. She has a rich, unique spiritual background that sets her apart from the majority of spiritual teachers in the online space. In this episode, we discuss intuition and how it impacts our lives, the value in difficult experiences, how to regulate our nervous system, inner child work, trauma, meditation, and navigating the current spiritual landscape. I have no doubt you'll have many new and interesting takeaways from this interview!In the episode, Alexandra shares that she is in a period of transition, and she has since found alignment with Christianity. She no longer subscribes to new age spirituality, and has shifted the way she uses her gifts, how she works with clients, and the content she shares online. For example, she no longer uses tarot in her work, and instead aligns herself with Christian values and beliefs. Alexandra demonstrates the beauty of an ongoing, ever-changing journey of growth and expansion.Find Alexandra online: Facebook  |  Facebook Group  |  Instagram (@hspmentor_alexandra)Resources from this episode: "A Scheme of Heaven" by Alexander Boxer (book)"Practical Meditation for Beginners" by Benjamin W.

Hey Modern Broads! Do you ever feel like you can't make a mistake? Or you have to be / do / look / act perfectly? I have certainly struggled with feeling like I need to be perfect in many different areas of my life over the years. But I've also learned that perfection doesn't even exist! In this F*CK IT FRIDAY episode, we explore why we feel the need to be perfect and why perfection totally SUCKS!! Cheers to a little more imperfection, and a lot more living! xxooResources from this episode: Mindset by Carol Dweck (book)IG: @modern.broadFB: The Modern Broad Squad
