Michelle shares how she is using this time to do inner work, improve household relationships and even start a garden.

In this episode: Michelle goes blonde and visited NASA. Leigh Ann had her first large group reading and is in need of a new squeezy strawberry. Plus, the ladies answer a listener’s question about scripting the episodes. On a more serious note, the ladies explore ideas of ordinary versus extraordinary times. Michelle explains how allowing your strong points to work for you and taking attention off of weaknesses can lead to a more extraordinary life. Part of living extraordinarily, is monitoring our reactions to experiences. The ladies explain that though we can’t control what happens, we can chose an embracing reaction. Wrapping it up, Michelle shares a short exercise for grounding and Leigh Ann gives pointers on breathing.

This episode meanders through a few deep-rooted and far-reaching themes. The ladies discuss a recent vision board class and healing moments in yoga. They recap journaling, with an recent client’s story, as a form to release what’s no longer serving us and to make space for healing. Leigh Ann shares a message from Spirit about taking our understanding and healing a little deeper by asking the question, “Why do I want this?”. Michelle explains how monitoring our thoughts is an essential aspect to a healthy mindset: in her words, “Be Careful What You Feed Your Hamster”. Spirit has recently sent many messages about checking one’s fears against reality. Leigh Ann explains her interpretation of this message and gives pointers for times when fear threatens to overshadow us. Michelle reminds us we have a toolbox of techniques for times like this, but that no single tool repairs everything at once, just as dumping the entire toolbox on a problem is not likely to solve it. Tools surface as they are needed and patience is required to apply them adequately. Just as one builds with one tool at at a time, one repairs with one tool at a time. The ladies also share news of planning a spiritual healing retreat with Cleanse Boutique.

Michelle and Leigh Ann catch up after taking a break from recording. They discuss the new Yoga classes that Leigh Ann and Casey have begun teaching. Michelle shares a beautiful book by Charlie Mackesy, titled The Boy, the mole, the fox and the Horse.  Leigh Ann shares a message from Spirit about listening to your body and truly connecting with nature and another message about time.  The ladies discuss the importance of journaling and self care and the art of slowing down and focusing. Write like no one is looking because working through darkness frees up space for love and light.  Also, Leigh Ann answers an odd question. Michelle shares her awkward moment with CBD oil and a Sheriff Deputy. And, wait for the end, the girls have a simple exercise for you!

In this episode, the ladies wrap-up the year (and the decade) with some universal life lessons. Michelle gives real life examples of “ask and you shall receive” and the ladies chat about being open to receive - as well as being READY to receive - when the request arrives. Leigh Ann speaks of Spirit having her practice what she preaches and how she got a real-life lesson on the theory of “we teach what we need to learn”. Leigh Ann and Michelle also talk about giving/leading with intuition and trusting that what was given will manifest exactly as intended, whether you see the end result or not. Also, Maw Maw turns 100...and is still learning and loving life.

The ladies take us on a journey this week, covering topics from teaching to natural disasters and eyes being the windows to the soul. Most importantly, they bring a fresh perspective to approaching the holidays and the tough emotions that may surface. They also chat about taking note of our back-up plans and learning to free fall using faith and intuition. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE ... the newest adventure is unveiled. Bells and whistles have been added to the podcast ride... We have video! The ladies discuss (and show) their evolution with the podcast journey.
