  • S2E15 The Holy Grail of Wellness with Hope Pedraza
    Jul 5 2024

    Have you been on a healing journey for a while and still feel like something is missing? Are you still struggling after years of working on yourself? Perhaps it's because you've been treating only one part of the problem instead of all the parts.

    Join Amanda and Hope Pedraza, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Reiki Practitioner, Human Design guide, NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist for a fascinating conversation where they uncover the secret to experience whole healing: treating all parts of you—body, mind, and spirit—simultaneously with energy healing, rewiring neural pathways, and nutrition. They also spend a significant amount of time talking about hormones and your innate power to balance them.

    Other key points to listen for include:

    • What presents on the surface (overweight, depressed, tired) are symptoms of the root cause. You will never truly heal until you address the root cause.
    • 5 things to limit in your diet to reduce inflammation.
    • The concept of cycle-syncing—knowing which phase of your menstrual cycle you are in and living in accordance with your natural cadence to maximize productivity and creativity.
    • Hormone imbalance happens when we are pushing ourselves to do things the body is not aligned with. This creates stress. Cortisol is released, adrenals become overworked, and hormones become unbalanced.
    • Listening to your body and honoring what it needs at certain times of the month is the first step to balancing hormones.
    • The minerals you need in your food and supplements to support a healthy body.
    • Where to get protein if you are interested in a vegetarian or vegan diet.
    • What Human Design is and how to utilize it to break subconscious patterns and optimize your life-force energy.
    • The importance of rewiring and regulating the nervous system to allow for a new pattern in thinking.

    Hope Pedraza is also the founder of inBalance, a Pilates based fitness franchise and the host of the Hopeful and Wholesome podcast. She helps female entrepreneurs and leaders heal chronic symptoms, optimizing their energy and wellness with functional labs, Human Design, subconscious reprogramming and energetics so they can thrive and create more impact in their business and in life.

  • S2E14 Keeping an Open Heart After Loss
    Jun 21 2024

    How do you keep an open heart after heartbreak, grief, trauma, and other painful experiences knowing that more pain is on the way? How do we love others fully and completely and lay bare the most vulnerable parts of ourselves knowing that loss is inevitable?

    Ginny and Amanda divulge their own difficulty with this topic, especially Amanda, calling it the "bane of her existence!" The ladies talk openly and candidly about their own experiences with shutting down after traumatic loss and provide excellent tools for you to practice while moving through your own fear of future loss.

    Other conversation includes:

    • Connection is the cure for grief, addiction, and other difficult trials of life.
    • Brene Brown's concept "foreboding joy," the definition of it and what happens when we do not allow ourselves to feel joy because we are in fear it will end.
    • Fear of loss is rooted in childhood through emotional abandonment, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to never feel that again.
    • Even though abandonment is something many of us are afraid of, we push people away due to an inability to be emotionally intimate with others (a protection method we used in childhood to keep us safe).
    • It's selfish to keep ourselves in this fear, thereby, inhibiting true connection and love with those who love us.
    • The solution is meeting, knowing, and loving ourselves unconditionally through connecting with source energy (God, Spirit, Universe) so we know deep in our heart we are never truly alone.
    • Limiting our dreams and wishes by throwing up roadblocks and other self-sabotaging behaviors because we are afraid of rejection (aka loss).
    • Breathwork to calm and reset the nervous system as a pathway to reducing stress accompanied by fear of loss.

  • S2E13 Connecting with High Frequency Energy with Vicki Somoya
    Jun 7 2024

    We all know about "good vibes." But what are they really? How do we access them? And why is it imperative to tune into these vibrations right now?

    Join Ginny and Amanda and their guest, Vicki Somoya, MFA, in an enlightening and informative conversation about what high frequency energy is, how to tap into it, and how to transmute your energy to align with these good vibes. Most importantly, learn how to use this empowered state of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness to assist the spiritual ascension taking place on the planet.

    Listen for key points like:

    • How to use breathwork and meditation to access and embody high frequency energy and upgrade your DNA.
    • Christ is in all of us (aka Christ Consciousness), the importance of embracing this fact, and why this concept is muted in mainstream religion.
    • The necessity of treating trauma with both cognitive and experiential practices in order to reach the highest state of compassion possible.
    • The positive effect of regulating the nervous system (rewiring neural pathways) with somatic work in conjunction with acknowledging and healing deeply rooted emotional pain.
    • The paradigm shift we are experiencing in terms of understanding what humans are and what we are doing here.
    • Polarity is not real, everything is part of the One, and the importance of bringing all pieces of life into coherence.
    • Stepping into our power comes with intentional blocks by lower energy and how to sidestep these blocks.
    • High vibe eating, including how to program the water you drink.
    • And so much more!

    Listen for Vicki's beautiful prayer, "Prayer for Paradise on Earth" as well as affirmations to claim your power.

    Vicki Somoya, MFA in Dance and Somatics, works with quantum light technology and movement to treat trauma by reprogramming the nervous system. She is a YTT 200 hr Kundalini Yoga trauma-informed facilitator, combining her training in movement with prayer, breathwork, and consciousness practices to assist humans to re-attune their bodies, minds & souls to the new higher frequencies of God Source Love, Compassion, Joy & Light.
