Just like nature, we have seasons too.  In this episode, I talk about how we experience different seasons just like nature does and the way that each season impacts the way you show up. You may notice yourself having super high energy, drive and motivation for a period of time and then feeling lost, depressed, and out of alignment in a different period of your life. These fluctuations in mood correspond with whatever internal season you are experiencing in your life regardless of the season of nature. I guide you through the purpose of each season, things to watch out for and what specific things to focus on in each season to ensure you make the most of the period of your life you are in.

Vanessa is an Elementum Master Coach and has a business of systems and productivity support for entrepreneurs. She has built teams and scaled multiple businesses and products to over 7-figures for some of the world's leading brands such as Microsoft, Nespresso, Ford Motors and Preston Smiles. She now supports coaches in the early stages of their career that are building their businesses but are not clear on what to do each day to intentionally scale their coaching practice. Vanessa has personally coached me amongst many of my colleagues and she is a wonderful role model for me.

She talks about how she left her corporate job DURING the pandemic, and shares some amazing productivity tools with us amongst so much more.

Lets talk about Alcohol... Welcome to Path to Alignment with Hungry Yogi, my name is Nataly, your host and I am committed to guiding you into your path to alignment to become your most authentic self. In this episode I talk about how growing up with no stability impacted me and how it lead me into a place of numbing and finding comfort in alcohol from a very young age to the point of heavily abusing alcohol. I describe how alcohol impacts the mind body and soul and how our soul essentially leaves our body when we drink alcohol. I speak about a HUGE epiphany I had about why we drink and I also throw in some scientific studies that sparked my interest and how I learned to tap into the most free version of myself without alcohol. And finally I share with you ways to drink intentionally and consciously if you choose to do so. I had a lot to say and I could've gone for longer, so grab your snacks, grab your hot cup of cacao and lets get into the show! Some of the juicy topics on this episode: Having alcoholic family members during childhood How moving can create such an impact on a child Finding my identity and then losing it to find it again How I became a chameleon to feel accepted and not stand out My story with trying marijuana for the first time Sneaking out of school to get drunk and high every day Dissociating and numbing through alcohol How our soul leaves our body when we drink How who we surround ourselves with impacts who we become How bodybuilding changed my life and put me on a healthier path How I learned to party sober and have the time of my life without consuming anything! Getting married and entering a state of depression Repeating patterns that were not reflective of who I had become How my world shattered and fell apart and ALLOWED ME TO BE FREE Yogic beliefs on drinking alcohol How alcohol disconnects you from your body How I turn down peer pressure to drink at parties Discovering Ecstatic Dance and how it helped me connect to myself How we just want to reconnect to our childlike energy Drinking intentionally Choosing what is in ALIGNMENT with your highest self LETS GET ALIGNED!

Have you noticed yourself saying "this part of me feels this, but another part of me feels this"?  You are composed of different parts of you and states of mind that are behind specific reactions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Some parts may no longer serve you and you may find yourself pushing them away but WHAT RESISTS PERSISTS. Therefore, I will show you how to create a better relationship with these parts of you so you can find more peace within you. In this week's episode, I introduce you to the modality of Parts Work aka Internal Family Systems!

On this week's episode of Path to Alignment I am SO EXCITED to introduce you all to one of my best friends who I have been on this path with for many years, Valentina Esteban! Valentina was Canada's youngest IFBB Pro Bikini Bodybuilding competitor and quickly blossomed in the fitness world, sponsored by fitness companies such as PEScience and was an Official Alphalete Athlete with over 100k people following her journey on IG, YouTube and other platforms. After many years in the fitness industry with so much success, Val decided to choose a different path for her life that was more aligned with her soul's calling. She decided to live in her truth and went to travel all over Europe and Asia tapping into her yoga and spirituality journey becoming a yogi and Holistic Wellness Coach. Letting go of the life she had built that no longer felt aligned with her path and stepping into a path where she is absolutely thriving! Valentina has since written a book, became a certified yoga teacher, got married and had a beautiful baby which inspired her to start a movement called Mama Mindful Co to create a safe space for moms all over the world to feel seen & heard. Val was a PIVOTAL person in my own personal Path to Alignment. We both spent our high school years in a small town in Canada named Grande Prairie, Alberta. I was deep into a path of drugs alcohol and addiction and seeing Valentina's journey inspired me to get into bodybuilding myself and into holistic living. Now we are both living a more conscious and holistic life and I am so grateful to be walking this path with her. A few of the many wonderful topics we touched on this episode: Valentina's journey with feeling discomfort with her body and how she stepped into bodybuilding at the age of 16. Having her own business at the age of 19 and being at the peak of her bodybuilding path Being disconnected from her soul and how discovering spirituality shifted her journey Quitting everything and starting from scratch Letting go of the person she identified with and shedding all of those layers to uncover her true essence Moving to Florida to pursue a business idea and finding reconnection to herself Travelling to India and stepping into her yoga journey and having an awakening that changed her life completely Discovering the resentment she felt towards her body How her partner mirrors the parts of her that she hasn’t reflected upon Her internal discoveries on a 10 day silent retreat Letting out all of the emotions she had suppressed her whole life How the ego protects you from feeling suppressed emotions Letting go of seeking validation The truth behind social media - what we see vs what happens in the background Follow Valentina's Path: Mama Mindful Podcast | IG | YouTube | Website Let's get ALIGNED!
