Episode 28: Activating Desire
Friday Mar 05, 2021
Friday Mar 05, 2021
In this episode, we sit with Desire. I ask you the question that I ask myself on the daily, “What is it that you really want?”
The number one reason people don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want! This is why Desire is so important.
When you work with Desire, you co-create a life that you’re in love with, and you live it so much more intentionally.
You get to have what you want. But you first need to claim what you want.

I'll see you there!

Interview With Dr. Melonie on All Things Birth, Babies & Breastfeeding
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Friday Feb 26, 2021
In this episode, I had the honor to sit down with Dr. Melonie and just have a real, raw and open conversation about birth, breastfeeding and all the things in between.
We each share a little bit about our personal struggles as new mamas and how — in really big ways — they shaped how we serve.
Meet Dr. Melonie
Dr. Melonie Schoenherr is a Prenatal, Pediatric and Family Chiropractor, as well as a lactation consultant, wife and mama. After all of these years of trying to figure everything out, well, she’s still trying to figure everything out!
In all seriousness though, defining who you truly want to be and who you want to help in your career and profession may not be revealed to you until you go through some rough waters yourself! After four miscarriages, an "unneccessarean," and her son egressing in, which all led to her journey with her daughter, she can definitely say that she redefined what it means to be a “prenatal, pediatric and family chiropractor.”
Dr. Melonie's favorite mamas to work with are the mamas who have been beat up by the infertility train, hit by the bad-birth dump truck and then drug alongside the struggle bus . . . (So basically every veteran mom out there!)
Her new baby, aka her online course, “Baby’s Beautiful Beginning,” is the culmination of mommin’ through the eyes of neurologically based chiro who focuses on tone and relaxing babies through cranial sacral work while combining her lactation expertise by addressing the underlying cause of baby’s latch issues. Her main focus is to have a system that a mom can implement to her own unique situation, instead of changing mom and baby to fit into a system that was never made for them in the first place.
Dr. Melonie lives in Michigan with her husband Dan and their two beautiful children, and she practices as a solo practitioner at Spine, Body and Mind Chiropractic and Wellness Center.

Episode 25: A FEM Story - Interview with Laurel
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
It was almost two years ago that I found myself on the other end of the phone with Laurel for the first time.
I had just posted about Fiercely Empowered Mama in a local natural parenting group, and she was curious about joining. But she was just learning of me and my work and was rightfully a little skeptical.
I told her about the course, the movement and the community, and I invited her to join.
She said she needed to think about it.
At the time, she had a 6-month-old and some familiarity with natural health, but it was one of those situations where she had no idea what she didn’t yet know.
The day after our call, she took the leap of faith, trusted her intuition and signed up for FEM.
Then her transformation began.
Since then, Laurel’s personal healing has accelerated (truly in leaps and bounds), she’s grown immense confidence in raising her little one using only natural remedies, she’s committed to nourishment, and she now muscle tests mini-programs for herself and family members to support them through a variety of symptoms / communications.
When she first joined FEM, she was aware that natural remedies could be helpful for acute symptoms (like a cold) but had no idea that healing was more than possible for the tougher chronic or more intense situations.
She went from kinda sorta knowing a few things to a full-blown believer — embodying this lifestyle.
She now has a trust in natural healing.
She now understands the human body and its many communications.
She now understands the healing process.
She is awake to her power as the natural healer of her home.
She is a Fiercely Empowered Mama.
And because of her YES, she is changing the way her family and friends heal and nourish their bodies.
This is exactly what is possible for you.
The difference YOU can make with this knowledge is HUGE.
Take a listen to Laurel's FEM story, and then visit the Fiercely Empowered Mama page to learn how this could be you, too.

Episode 23: Is Your Parenting Working Right Now?
Friday Nov 20, 2020
Friday Nov 20, 2020
Join me as I sit down with author, public speaker and Parenting Coach Robbin McManne. Robbin is certified through the Jai Institute for Parenting and has worked with a wide variety of parents from Canada, The United States, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
In this episode, Robbin gives it to us straight. She talks about how to deal with disrespect, bad behavior and kids who don’t listen.
If you’re a mama or you work one-on-one with kids, this one is for you.
Like so many, Robbin struggled for years because she wasn’t the parent she wanted to be. The more frustrated she got, the unhappier she felt. She knew what she was doing wasn't working and that there must be a better way.
Through searching for answers, Robbin found the Conscious Parenting community. She discovered how she could connect with her kids, and through this connection, she found herself, she found joy, and she found her life’s work...but most importantly, she found connection with the people she loves the most on this earth, her two boys!

Episode 22: Your Dog’s Health Depends on YOU More than Ever
Friday Nov 13, 2020
Friday Nov 13, 2020
Is your dog trying to tell you that something is off? Are you listening?
Just 50 years ago, 1 in 100 dogs got cancer. This year, 1 in 1.65 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer.
Cancer is currently the leading cause of death in dogs (excluding euthanasia by humans for various reasons). Skin disease is the leading reason for elected euthanasia and why people often surrender dogs to shelters.
These dogs are literally living with debilitating chronic dis-ease their entire lives and — much worse — they're living in the torment of their own skin.
As with humans, chronic dis-ease for dogs is really a state of imbalance. And it begins with symptoms… UTIs, diarrhea, itchiness, ear infections, yeast overgrowth and anal gland issues are all an effort to say, “Hey, I’m out of balance!”
When we simply “treat” or suppress the symptoms with drugs, the issues don’t go away. In fact, this only pushes them deeper down in the tissues and creates a much bigger problem for the dog in the future.
Except for in the case of true emergency, when your dog communicates with you by showing a symptom, always seek ways to help your dog heal using natural modalities.
The pet health crisis is real. Our pets can’t protect themselves — so it’s up to us to help them achieve balance in a toxic world. And it’s time for us to include our four-legged loved ones on our quest to living a more nourished life.
In this episode, let’s take a look at some ways to get your dog started on the journey to real preventative care and root-cause healing. Afterward, head over to my Facebook group, Love Yourself Fiercely, and let's continue the conversation.

The days of just being able to zombie our way through life are done.
WE are being called for so much more.
We are here for extraordinary health.
It’s our innate right to FEEL good. And deep inside, it’s what we all crave.
In this episode, I invite you to get real, take a sacred pause and check in with your body.

Every symptom is an offering.
We also go into the reason why, when we suppress symptoms, we drive the issues deeper in our tissues and ultimately create a mess.
