The SITuation

How crazy is it to have your entire life change in a couple of weeks? Yeah.

Kelsey and Vanessa share her traumatic surgery story and the insights gathered from the experience.

Incredibly, there is grace and gratitude for all of it. Vanessa explains how she processed the physical experience. She also explains the breakthroughs she had with her family.

All because she had space and awareness for healing.

Another insight: the medical community needs the Empowered Healers Academy to help them build a culture to better support their patients.

A truth bomb moment was, "You cannot heal with you don’t feel." 
Most people are trying NOT to feel the icky emotions, but it is in feeling them that we heal them. 

There’s also news that is not surgery related and it’s super exciting!

Kelsey and Vanessa are moving. To a house they’ve never seen in person. In a place they've never been to. 

It was all divinely created.
What if everything is easy?
What if you could let it all come to you?

You’ll be along for the...

Why don’t we consult with our bodies about what we should eat?

I mean... Our Body is the one who's carrying us around, afterall. 

Short answer, we're not taught to. 

Kelsey and Vanessa are tackling one of the most controversial subjects... FOOD.

• What would happen if you paid attention to what foods made you feel joy? 
• Have you ever considered there's an emotional component of your food?
• What does it mean to be in communion with your body?
• What if we listened to our body instead of following a list of "good" foods and avoiding the "bad" ones?
  
  Listen as Vanessa explains how her food issues were resolved when she dealt with emotional blocks. Healing emotional enmeshment and practicing energy work was enough to heal what doctors considered a life sentence of IBS.
  
  Kelsey talks about cravings and the emotional pull for foods that don’t make us feel good physically, but satisfy an inner hunger. You’ll see an entirely new perspective on why you eat what you eat.

Are you struggling to let go of people or things that are no longer serving you?

A lot of us have anxiety when it comes to letting go of things or people in our lives.

Maybe it’s that table you bought years ago that just doesn't feel good in your space.

Maybe it's relationships you keep hanging onto, even though deep down you know you should cut dies with them...

Maybe, like Vanessa, it’s a handwoven rug that your babcia made for you when you were fifteen.

Or maybe it’s just years of clutter you’ve shoved in your closets and drawers that you swore you would get rid of or organize, but has piled up so much that your drawers are literally barfing them out.

Does the word 'Healer' sound a little woo-woo to you?

Renegades! Are you ready for a real conversation about sex, sexuality and living your truth? 

Kelsey and Vanessa are taking this often taboo, always emotion-filled topic head on like only they can. 

From early childhood, many of us were told how we were supposed to act, and what it meant to be a man or woman. But what if “traditional” definitions have never felt right?

Have you wondered if other people felt that way too?

Most of us were not encouraged to express ourselves sexually. Instead, we were shamed or told that we had to fit into the mold that felt comfortable to others. There is seldom a place for curiosity without judgement.

Questions That Need Answers - Kelsey and Vanessa are going there. 

• What are we afraid to receive when we want to tap into our own sexuality?
• Does uninvited attention make you feel desired or unsafe?
• Do you seek out the affection of others or do you go into hiding to ensure no one really sees you?
• What does it mean to use your sexuality?
• Whe

Is it okay to quit? How about faking it? Is it cool to put on a happy face and pretend that you love what you do even if it’s not completely true?

Vanessa and Kelsey are taking on another topic that we usually avoid. Quitting. What does it say about you? Is quitting good or bad?

“We’re always told not to start things we can’t finish – yet another example of traditional wisdom hooey-ing everything up. Ditto this whole notion of winners never quit and quitters never win. Winners quit all the time, because they trust the inner anarchy that says, “This is not quite right . . . yet.”

We need more attempts, less success. Success means that you picked one thing and then did it long enough to master it – which is less remarkable than it seems.

Success is often a function of persistence, not necessarily purpose.

A richer path, I believe, is made up of many false starts, not always resulting in triumph, but always resulting in information. Information about who you are, what charg...

Kelsey and Vanessa discuss what many are feeling, but aren’t saying out loud. 

The global pandemic has given us a space to slow down and discover what’s really important in our lives. How crazy is it that something so disruptive can give us that space to look at things from a different angle?

Vanessa lays it all out about how the pandemic might have been the world's way to tell her to: wake up and slow the fuck down down! It was in the loss of work and the urgency that life demanded when she realized that she didn’t want everything to go back to the old normal. 

We dive in on the term, “pivot”, and how it might just be another way to shift perspectives and see what our real priorities are. 

Kelsey talks more on how slowing down can change the way your brain works, plus how being in high-beta brain waves mode crushed Vanessa’s creativity and peace of mind.
