For our final episode of the Season 3 series, we explore how to bring healthy cleansing into your life through the lens of the Vitality Framework. 

For episode 3 we take a pause to consider that some of the things "frozen" in our lives were a result of stress and trauma. And the thawing of them needs to be full of awareness, care and skill in healing what felt painful and difficult in our lives. 

We begin our Spring series with a macro exploration of what the season of Spring is calling us to do and how to take ourselves through the transition of Winter into Spring with our well-being center stage. 

Season 3: Cleanse Your Life Through the Spring Season Episode 2: How to bring more movement into your life In this episode, we explore how to begin to bring healthy movement back into your life - especially if you feel you are coming from a bone-tired, stagnant, frozen place throughout the winter. We explore movement from multiple layers and begin from the (very) inside out - even at a cellular level to consider ways to build natural momentum and allow activity and motion to ramp up in our lives effortlessly.

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 4 How to Stop Worry Thoughts In Their Track In this episode we begin to explore habits of depletion vs habits of vitality... and focus in on one specific habit of depletion which is worrying.  More than simply identifying what our worry thoughts are and *hoping* they just go away because we want them to... we follow them back to their roots. And from that point learn the essence within every worry thought that is actually a seed for more love, calm, and joy to grow.   

Season 2: Healing Mental Burnout Episode 3: This episode explores what must be established first before healthy living goals are attempted. When this core essential is missing, people, groups, communities, and campaigns fail- no matter how much money they throw at the problem. I share from my own experience working on public health campaigns as a qualitative researcher in Boston - but the lessons learned and core principles are the same for personal wellness goals too.
