This episode is with Daniela Schroeder. Dani has spent her life studying multiple forms of holistic healing - from nutrition to intelligent movement methods to the best way to support clients with their individual well-being - namely through Reflexology and GYROKINESIS® which both relieve the physical, mental, and emotional body of pain, stress, and anxiety by calming the nervous system.

This episode is with Shauna VanBogart. Shauna is an intuitive change-agent that shows business owners how to build, run, and scale sustainable businesses that feel as good as they look. With a graduate degree in Communications and Leadership Studies, mastery-level certification in clinical hypnotherapy, and 15+ years mentoring business owners running everything from start-ups to multi-million dollar brands, Shauna knows what it takes to evolve the human behind the business so that elevated service, revenue and company growth occurs as a natural result of creating cohesive alignment within.

Whether you are a business owner, an employee, not working right now or somewhere in between, I highly recommend this episode because we go a lot of places. We talk about intuition, receiving, creation, relationship to money, thinking and so much more. We even found that we share a recurring dream with the same animal and what that possibly means for each of us. I’ve known Shauna for several years and I always learn so much from each interaction and am fed by her energy and clarity. Please enjoy this transformational conversation with Shauna VanBogart.

This conversation is with Paul Smit, a Dutch philosopher and expert in neuroscience. He’s written 13 books about philosophy, psychology and neuroscience and is one of the most in demand speakers in The Netherlands.

Now, you may be wondering why I chose to speak first to a man from the Netherlands about Non-Duality and philosophy when this show is about women in midlife.

I wanted to start here because these are foundational principles that support me, my body and my mind, in daily life. They may seem esoteric and highly philosophical at first glance, but I hope you can hear this with curiosity and openness. We talk about thoughts, where they come from, changing habits, the practical application of these ideas or “pointers” and a bit about the brain as well.

Paul is a friend, a collaborator with my husband Scott (they wrote a book together called A Cloudless Mind) and someone who walks his talk like no other. Paul is a rare human and it was truly an honor to have him on the show.
