98-Attract the ONE: Chapter 11

Sun, 04 May 2025 18:00:00 -0700

This week, I’m reading Chapter 11: Trust from Attract the ONE, and let me tell you, this chapter is tender, personal, and powerful.

If you’ve ever felt like trust was broken (whether by others or by life itself) this one will speak straight to your heart. I share the story of a simple necklace my best friend gave me that carried a big message: trust. That one word became my anchor during some of the loneliest seasons of my life.

In this episode, I dive into what it really means to trust again. Not just in another person, but in the journey, in your healing, and most of all, in yourself. When I stopped forcing love to happen and started trusting the timing and the process, everything changed.

So if your heart is tired and your hope feels shaky, this chapter will remind you that it’s safe to believe again. That you don’t have to carry it all, control it all, or have it all figured out.

Take a breath, press play, and let this chapter be the reminder you didn’t know you needed!

97-Attract The ONE: Chapter 10

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 19:00:00 -0700

In Chapter 10, I talk about what it actually looks like to let go. Not in theory, but in real life. I share the exact forgiveness exercise my therapist gave me during my divorce, the one that helped me stop carrying so much pain, anger, and blame.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying what happened was okay. It means you stop letting it take up space in your mind and your heart. I walk through how I did it, what I wrote down, what I burned (literally), and how that one process made room for love to finally show up.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in resentment or shame, or if you’re still carrying pieces of old relationships with you, this one’s for you. Press play and let’s walk through it together.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

96-Attract The ONE: Chapter 9

Sun, 06 Apr 2025 22:00:00 -0700

Chapter 9, Tools for Creating Joy. This chapter is all about joy. How to find it, create it, and hold onto it, even when life feels overwhelming. In this chapter, I’m sharing the exact tools and daily rituals that helped me shift my mindset, feel more grounded, and show up in life with more energy, more peace, and more love.

I’m covering everything from journaling and gratitude to movement and music to show the practices that helped me feel like myself again. These small, intentional habits added up to something powerful. They reminded me that joy isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you create.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure where to start, this chapter is your gentle reset. Press play and let’s start building a life that feels light, joyful, and completely yours.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

95-Attract The ONE: Chapter 8

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 22:00:00 -0700

Onto Chapter 8, "Undesirables." I’m sharing the truth about something we don’t always want to admit. Sometimes we attract people who lie, because deep down, we’re not being completely honest with ourselves either. I learned this lesson through attracting “teachers” with qualities I didn’t want (and dishonesty I didn’t want either), and it wasn’t until I took a closer look at my own patterns that everything really started to shift.

This chapter is centered around real honesty. The kind where you stop pretending to like camping when you don’t, stop agreeing to things that feel wrong, and start speaking up even when it’s uncomfortable. I talk about a few of my own experiences, how I started showing up fully as myself, and why that was the turning point that helped me finally attract someone with real integrity.

Let’s talk about getting honest with ourselves first, so we can attract the kind of love that’s built on truth!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

94 - Attract The ONE: Chapter 7

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 20:00:00 -0700

Chapter 7, Living Your Life As If You Can't Wait To Tell Him

In this chapter of Attract the ONE, I’m talking about something that completely changed my perspective. Instead of waiting around for love to show up, I started living my life like it was something I couldn’t wait to share with my future husband.

I share how I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started building a life that made me feel happy, fulfilled, and proud. From traveling solo to trying new things just because I wanted to, I created a life that felt amazing to me. And the best part? It was no longer about searching for someone to complete me. It was about becoming the kind of person who loved her life so much, she couldn’t wait to share it.

If you’ve been putting your happiness on hold until you find the right person, this chapter will help you change that.

Let’s start designing a life that feels joyful, exciting, and completely yours!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

93-Attract The ONE: Chapter 6

Sat, 15 Mar 2025 14:00:00 -0700

Chapter 6, Creating Harmony in Your Home.

This week, we’re talking about something I never realized would be so important. Your home. If you’re anything like me, you might not think a messy house has anything to do with attracting love. But let me tell you, when my house was in chaos, so was I.

In this chapter, I share what it looked like when my kids were little and the house was full of forts, Nerf gun wars, and mattresses sliding down the stairs. I loved that my house was the place everyone wanted to be, but I also realized that I needed a space that felt peaceful and calming for me. I talk about how creating even small pockets of order in my home made me feel more grounded and how that energy shift opened me up to attracting a healthy relationship.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by clutter or like your home doesn't feel peaceful, this chapter is for you. I’ll share what worked for me, how I created a space that felt like love could actually walk right through the door, and why it’s one of the most powerful things you can do when you’re calling in the relationship you want. Let’s dive in and talk about how the space around you can support the love story you’re trying to write.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

92-Attract The ONE: Chapter 5

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:00:00 -0700

Chapter 5, Transforming Your Beliefs. This week, we’re tackling one of the biggest things that can make or break your love life. Your beliefs. If deep down you think love is hard, that all the good ones are taken, or that you're just unlucky in relationships, then those beliefs are running the show. But here’s the truth: you have the power to change them.

In this chapter, I break down how I rewired my mindset, the mantras I repeated daily, and the small shifts that helped me go from feeling stuck and hopeless to truly believing I was meant for love. I share how our thoughts create our reality, how to catch the sneaky limiting beliefs holding you back, and how to flip them into something that actually serves you.

If you’re ready to stop letting past heartbreaks or negative experiences define your future, this chapter will show you how. You don’t have to have it all figured out today, just start with one belief at a time and watch how everything changes!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

91-Attract The ONE: Chapter 4

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 11:00:00 -0700

Chapter 4 of “Attract The ONE”! If you’ve ever felt lost in dating, this chapter is your road map. Your GPS.

Think of your love life like a road trip. You wouldn’t just get in the car without putting a destination in your GPS and just hope you end up somewhere amazing, right? That’s exactly why you need a soulmate list. It’s the GPS. This is the part where you get crystal clear on what you actually want in a partner. Not just the vague “nice, funny, and kind” checklist, but a detailed, specific vision of the person YOU want to attract.

In this chapter, I break down why your soulmate list matters and how this powerful tool helps you attract real love. I share how my own list evolved, how every past relationship was a teacher, and how getting ultra-clear on what I wanted made all the difference. And trust me, the details matter more than you think.

You’ll also find out what happened when John found out I had this list. 🤣

Instead of guessing, settling, or attracting the wrong people, grab a notebook, start your soulmate list, and let’s start creating the love story you actually want!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

90-Attract The ONE: Chapter 3

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 15:00:00 -0700

This week we’re getting into Chapter 3, The Boss List. This is where things start to shift. If you’ve ever felt like you were this close to leveling up but just couldn’t quite get there, this chapter is for you.

I talk about the moment I realized I wasn’t going to attract a badass partner until I felt like a badass myself. And let’s be real … I wasn’t quite there yet. I had things I was avoiding, things I knew would make me feel better, but I kept putting them off. That’s when I created my Boss List. A list of everything I needed to handle so I could step into the kind of confidence that attracts real love.

This chapter is all about doing the small (and big) things that make you feel your best. Whether it’s handling your finances, making changes to your health, upgrading your environment, or simply crossing off those lingering to-dos, everything you do for you adds up. And the best part? Every small win shifts the way you see yourself, along with the way others see you too.

So if you’ve ever felt like something was off but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it, grab a notebook, start your own Boss List, and let’s start making the changes that actually matter!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

89-Attract The ONE: Chapter 2

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:00:00 -0700

Every love story is beautiful, but mine is my favorite. This week, I’m sharing Chapter 2 of Attract the ONE, and this is where the real magic begins. If you’ve ever doubted whether true love is actually possible for you, this chapter might change your mind.

I take you through the moment I stopped waiting for love and started becoming the person I wanted to marry. I share how one wedding toast completely shifted my mindset, how a simple conversation at a dealership turned into something I never saw coming, and how John—someone I had known for years—suddenly saw me in a way he never had before.

This is the story of how I attracted real, lasting love. It wasn’t about luck or timing. It was about shifting my beliefs, letting go of the “type” I thought I needed, and realizing that love doesn’t always show up the way we expect it to.

If you’ve ever wondered why love feels so hard or why the right person hasn’t come along yet, this chapter is for you. Let’s start shifting the way you see love, because your story is only beginning!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

88-Attract The ONE: Chapter 1

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 12:00:00 -0700

This week, we dive into Chapter 1 of “Attract the ONE”, and it’s a big one. After my divorce, I was convinced something was wrong with me. Like I was wired differently. Like I was missing the "relationship chip" everyone else seemed to have. I stayed busy, focused on my kids, but deep down, I was stuck in old beliefs that told me I wasn’t enough, that love just wasn’t in the cards for me.

In this chapter, I talk about the years I spent believing I was damaged goods, the experiences that shaped that belief, and the moment I realized none of it was actually true. I share what it was really like raising my kids alone, the highs and lows, the funny moments, and the heartbreaks. I also take a hard look at the stories we tell ourselves about love and self-worth, and how they shape the relationships we attract.

If you’ve ever wondered why love feels so out of reach or felt frustrated with where you are, this chapter is for you. Grab a notebook, get comfortable, and let’s start breaking down the lies we tell ourselves so you can finally attract the love you deserve.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

87-Attract The ONE: Preface

Sun, 26 Jan 2025 20:00:00 -0700

This week, I’m doing something different. I’m starting a new series reading my book Attract the ONE. You can get a free copy of the printed book (just pay for shipping) on my website, but because so many people prefer to listen to books, I wanted to make the audiobook free! I’ll be releasing one chapter a week, so the entire audiobook will be available for free forever!

This week I read the preface. If you’ve ever felt like love keeps passing you by, if you’ve been stuck in dating cycles that leave you disappointed, or if you’re just about ready to give up on finding something real, I get it.

I went through divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and repo all in one year! Then, I spent years attracting men who didn’t love me, didn’t want what I wanted and weren’t good for me. But everything changed when I stopped “looking” for love and started working on myself. In this episode, I share some of the shifts I made, the beliefs I realized I needed to release, and how I finally attracted the kind of love I always wanted (but never thought was possible).

If you’re tired of settling, maybe it’s time to start believing that real love is possible. Real love with a partner who truly sees you, values you, and cherishes you is not only possible, but it can be true for YOU!

Grab a notebook, tune in, and let’s do this together!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

86-Love Heals All Wounds With Sherry Foutz

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 22:00:00 -0700

In this emotional episode, I sit down with my Aunt Sherry to hear her incredible journey from a childhood marked by uncertainty, adoption, and resilience, to a life filled with love, family, and healing.

Sherry was adopted in 1960 by my grandparents, but her story starts long before that. She shares raw, heartfelt memories of growing up in a small trailer, the painful separation from her sister, and the moment she realized what "adoption" really meant. Through it all, she found strength in the family who chose her, the bonds she refused to let go of, and the deep, lasting love of a mother she once thought had left her behind.

Aunt Sherry’s story is an immaculate example of the resilience of the human heart, the way we carry our past with us, and how love can transcend even the hardest moments. It's about what it means to belong.

Bring tissues, because we laughed and we cried over these stories. Listen now and let me know what resonates with you!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

70-Don't Let The Wrong Labels Stick With Sarah Englade

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 13:00:00 -0700

Sometimes on our journey through life we think something is going to be a setback or gives us a “bad label”, but it turns out to be a great opportunity. Sarah Englade’s journey has certainly illustrated that. Sarah is an executive headhunter who founded her own company in 2020, but before that she worked as a medical esthetician. From there, life led her through different corporations, being fired, switching jobs, and ultimately becoming an entrepreneur and starting her business. Her journey had many moments of “bad news” which can, of course, be reframed as opportunities to pivot and create something good! Sarah re-labeled “college dropout” and “learning disability” as her personal superpowers; as those were the very things that fueled her success as an entrepreneur. From her triumph, we learn that we can do the exact same thing. Our “failure” moments don’t define us, they are just the next step in achieving our goals and creating success.

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 10:00:00 -0700

I had so much fun interviewing my parents that I asked them to come back so I could interview them individually!

I know, it’s mostly for my family, but, I’m sharing it with everyone because I love history. I love hearing about how life was 80 years ago.

Maybe you do, too!

My dad, Benny Knudsen, was born in Mesa, Arizona (not far from where I live now!) in 1937.

The entire family worked the farm, milked the cows, and then later bought a fruit farm. They worked tirelessly harvesting peaches and selling crops to whomever would buy them.

And every night they would gather around and play music.

Music has been the cornerstone of my life, and it’s incredible to me to hear the stories about how that came to fruition.

When I get Dad alone and ask him tons of questions, he tells me stories I’ve never heard him tell!

What life was like on a farm in the 30’s and 40’s, how he learned all the instruments he knows how to play, and how it was so scandalous to go play for a dance band (which we would describe as big band old-timers music now!) I guess my Grandma was horrified and thought he was going straight to hell!

He rounded up friends to harvest and sell peaches so he could buy his first saxophone, and he found a career with the Air Force where he could be a full-time musician and not starve.

I learned more details about him meeting my mom in college, their courtship and engagement. And his experience as a Mormon missionary back east in the late 50’s.

I realized I come from a long line of hard-working entrepreneurs who worked 24/7 to do everything they could to feed their families, and that’s beautiful to me.

My dad can only remember one family vacation to Yellowstone where they slept on the side of the road in a tent on their way there!

Life was so different back then, and I’m thrilled to be able to capture a piece of history with my Dad’s memories and stories.

Thanks for allowing me to share a bit of my family history! I know we will cherish these interviews for lifetimes to come.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

68-Where There's A Willa There's A Way With Willa Knudsen (Mom)

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 15:00:00 -0700

I had so much fun interviewing my parents that I asked them to come back for round two, and this time I interviewed them individually. When I interview my parents on my podcast it’s mostly just for our family to watch and treasure for decades to come. And I’m so excited to share them with anyone else who loves history and who loves learning from amazing humans with over 8 decades of experience and wisdom. I asked more questions that I’ve never asked my mom and heard even more incredible stories that I’ve never heard about her life. Willa was born in 1941, and she talks all about growing up in the 40s and 50s, her engagement and marriage to my dad in 1961, and raising 11 children living all over the world because of my dad’s Air Force career. Once she ran for student council and coined the phrase, "Where there's a Willa there's a way!" so obviously that had to be the title! She’s my hero and the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. Love you so much mama!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

67-So My Husband Went To Prison With Danielle Bradford

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 19:00:00 -0700

Danielle and I met when we were both 14 years old. We became immediate best friends and were friends ever since. We’ve had amazing adventures and could tell you stories for days. I’ve been begging her for two years to come do my show.

Back in 2007 or 2008 when I thought Danielle was living her dream life as a stay at home mom raising three kids, she was blindsided when she found the FBI was investigating her husband for fraud. I was separated and going through my divorce, and I’ll never forget when I got a phone call from Danielle saying she was going to be a single mom now. We were both going to be single moms. I listened in disbelief as she told me that her husband was in jail and sentenced to 17 years in prison. I saw her a few times on her trips to visit him at the AZ prison with the kids. And then, as life does, we didn’t speak much for a few years. Then I saw on Facebook that she was remarried. I asked her to come share her insane and inspirational story. She completely started over and rebuilt her life in a new city. She went back to school, became a nurse, and eventually divorced her convicted, criminal husband, and married the love of her life. Her resiliency and ability to go through incredible challenges with love and laughter is unmatched. Laugh and cry as you follow along her incredible journey.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

66-The Power Of Changing Your Stories With Dr. Jonathan Gregoire

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 15:00:00 -0700

I'm so excited to share this week's episode with you as my guest is my long-time friend, Dr. Jonathan Gregoire. Jonathan is an esteemed pianist, organist, composer, and coach, and his journey has led him to realize that true fulfillment comes intrinsically. Initially driven by external validation through his extensive training, he came to recognize the path he was "supposed" to take as a professional musician did not bring the fulfillment he wanted, and he decided to rewrite his own narrative of success in the arts.

64-What If RTT Doesn't Work?

Fri, 31 May 2024 09:00:00 -0700

What if RTT doesn’t work? What if you “can’t be hypnotized?" Well, kids, it is possible that it won’t “work.” There are no guarantees, obviously. RTT is not the end-all and be-all method. But in this episode we explore what may be behind those questions and doubts and perhaps how to look at RTT in a variety of ways. That is the miracle behind this method. Allowing ourselves to explore what happens when we redefine the events in our past. What if we can identify and understand where, when, and how we developed our core beliefs and what happens if we look at them in a different way? What if changing our core beliefs that are locked into our subconscious mind can help us create the calm, confidence, peace, and joy that we are longing to create in our lives?

I also talk about what hypnosis is and what it feels like. And what hypnosis is not. I propose that the more important question is: what if RTT does work? What would your life look like if you found something that helped you create more calm and more peace in daily life? What would your life look like if you were less triggered by the things that really have been bothering you for a long time? What would your life look like if you were able to shed that habit you’ve been trying to break? I guess that’s four questions. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

62-How Does RTT Work? What Happens in an RTT Session?

Fri, 17 May 2024 06:00:00 -0700

In this episode I describe what happens before, during, and after RTT Sessions.

RTT is all about retraining your perceptions about the memories that created your core beliefs.

As children and teenagers, we are constantly downloading everything around us, trying to define the events happening around us and trying to assign meaning to those events.

But when we are children, our brains are still developing, and we are unable to fully understand these events. That leads us to developing beliefs about ourselves that are no longer true, no longer serving us, and can cause us great suffering.

RTT allows us to redefine those events and let go of the beliefs we developed long ago that we have been holding onto for years, even decades.

Then, we can strengthen the empowering beliefs that allow us to strengthen our confidence, allow us to accomplish the goals we set for ourselves, and allow us to navigate life’s ebbs and flows with more ease. We are able to release old beliefs and habits that no longer serve us and create the beliefs, feelings, and habits we long to create in our lives.

This episode explains what happens in an RTT session and how it works!

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

61-How Many RTT Sessions Do You Need?

Wed, 08 May 2024 17:00:00 -0700

How many RTT sessions do you need?

Excellent question! The answer is: It depends!

Don’t you love that answer?!

The number of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) sessions needed varies depending on individual circumstances, goals, and the complexity of the issues being addressed. While some clients may experience significant breakthroughs and lasting change after just one session, others may benefit from multiple sessions to achieve their desired outcomes.

During the initial consultation, we will discuss this and work together to assess your needs and goals, as well as the underlying factors contributing to your challenges. Based on this assessment, I will recommend a personalized treatment plan that may include one or more sessions, spaced out over time to allow for integration and continued progress. One issue can take 1-3 sessions. In general, most people experience the best results with 3 sessions. Many of my clients resolve their issues in one session, and other clients have had more than three sessions, and everything in between. We work on different issues in each session. Everyone is different.

If you have a strong desire for change, you believe that change is possible, and you commit to the process, it’s very likely you will experience results. And it is a process. You have homework :) After each session, I make you a personalized recording with the new beliefs, thoughts, and feelings you wish to strengthen. Your homework is to listen to your recording every day for 21 days minimum. I recommend 30 days. We can then evaluate how you’re feeling from that point. Allowing yourself to get into a relaxed state through hypnosis makes you suggestible. Suggestible to these powerful, beliefs that you want to strengthen. Every day when you relax and listen to your recording, you are regulating your nervous system and strengthening the beliefs that will allow you to make the changes you want to see in your life.

Like anything else, I urge my clients to approach RTT with an open mind and a willingness to engage actively in the process. While RTT can facilitate profound transformation, it’s not a quick fix, and lasting change often requires commitment, consistency, and patience. Ultimately, the number of RTT sessions needed will vary from person to person.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 12:00:00 -0700

This interview is a little different than my normal episodes which are focused on creating a better life for yourself. This one is focused on how we can help the most abused and vulnerable people in our country: the children who live in slavery. Every day. I had the honor of interviewing TJ Morris who founded Kaleb House. TJ told me that 17,000 kids go missing every month in the United States! Everyone needs to know what TJ is doing, and how we can all help. You won’t believe the stories he tells, and how he was called to start Kaleb House and rescue children. Then everything that happens after that is mind-blowing. He’s actually hunting pedophiles and rehabilitating children who have known nothing but slavery and abuse. Most of them missed so much school they can barely read and write. These children need our voices!

Please share this episode so we can help him make a bigger impact!

50-Make Your Life One Big Adventure! 2 Octogenarians Who Lived Around The World & Raised 11 Children With Willa And Benny Knudsen, Ret. Colonel, USAF

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 10:00:00 -0700

Benny and Willa Knudsen were married in 1961 and shortly had their first child in 1962. They never would’ve imagined that the subsequent three decades would bring them all over the world and 11 children. At the time of this recording, Willa is almost 82, and Benny is 86 and they are still going strong! The lessons and stories from raising 11 children and moving every few years, sometimes overseas, are like nothing you can even imagine.

As of 2/23/24, their family has grown to over 100 people, with 50 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and dozens of sons/daughters in law and grandson/granddaughters in law.

Although this episode was primarily recorded for our family to listen and learn a little bit more about our parents/grandparents/great grandparents, I think anyone would revel in the stories and lessons from the extraordinary life of two young kids who met in college, brought eleven children into this world, and embraced life as one huge adventure.

Laugh and cry along with me as I ask my parents questions I’ve never asked, and hear them share things I’ve never heard them say.

Thank you for listening! God bless you!

31-RTT Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 08:00:00 -0700

I was honored to be a guest on the Nourish With Renata podcast to talk about how RTT - Rapid Transformational Therapy - can help with weight loss. She was gracious enough to share the audio with me so I could share it on my podcast as well.
My clients have had incredible results with weight loss using hypnotherapy - specifically RTT - because RTT aims to find the root cause of the issue. Our brilliant minds always know the root cause or the reason why we have created certain habits. Our subconscious beliefs drive our habits and behaviors that don't serve us, such as snacking when we're not hungry. In hypnosis, we're able to access our subconscious mind, identify the root cause, and understand why we believe those thoughts that are creating the habits we don't want. Once we understand where those beliefs came from, we're able to let them go. Then, we can install the beliefs that create new healthy habits!
In this episode, I explain how RTT works, and I share the results of one specific client who came to me for weight loss. She's been able to completely stop snacking on unhealthy food and lose weight!

30-Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Live Your MISSION With John Wagner

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0700

John Wagner is the founder and CEO of Limitless Financial Group, a patriot, father, and husband. We had a blast discussing all kinds of topics. I truly enjoy getting different perspectives on what's happening in the world today, and the actions we can take to build a purpose-driven life we love.
We discuss masculinity, why it's under attack, and the difference between your duties and your mission. I asked him to share his perspective on dating and attracting a real man, for my single ladies out there. I think it's smart to get a happily married Christian masculine man's perspective, especially if you want to attract that type of man into your life. Ultimately, building the life that you truly want comes down to getting out of your comfort zone and into your mission. We take a deep dive into the differences between your "why" and your mission in life, and why it’s important to distinguish the two! I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did! God bless you!

27-How to Detox from Injections with Mary Yuter, RN

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 15:00:00 -0700

Nurse Mary is back! She was an ICU nurse at one of the busiest hospitals in the country for 13 years, and now she has her own practice helping people heal from Cardiac events, and prevent them from ever happening in the first place!

I wanted to have her back and tell us how we can detox from the injections the past few years. She’s seen a myriad of heart problems and health problems in her practice since 2020, and she works with patients who are worried about any adverse effects that may happen in the future. I asked her to give us a run down so we can help others detox and live healthily ever after! We covered such a wide variety of topics that can help anyone feel better, have more energy, sleep better, and improve their health, whether or not you have received any injections in the last few years, so I took notes and put the links to everything she recommends in the show notes so it’s easy for you to find them! Please forward to your friends and family members.

Work with Mary and find out more about her practice and how she can help: www.hearttosoulcw.com

Follow Mary on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hearthealthaccelerator/

Seeding and Feeding your microbiome…aka your gut.

You seed them with foods that are fermented and feed them with foods that are high in fiber. And you need to help the body prevent the spike proteins (in the injections) from cleaving.

She suggests using Nattokinase, which is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called natto. The brand she recommends is Doctor’s Best.

https://drbvitamins.com/products/doctor-s-best-nattokinase-2-000-fus-270-veggie-caps-36581

Intermittent fasting also helps the body rebuild and clean house. The official term is “autophagy”. Autophagy is your body's process of reusing old and damaged cell parts. We need to give our bodies a break from digesting food, so it can regenerate. She recommends eating breakfast later in the day and eating dinner 3 hours before bedtime. Another thing that promotes our body’s autophagy is cold shock therapy. When your body gets shocked by cold temperatures, it ramps up its immune response. You are irritating the body in the best way. You can do this with cold plunges or cold showers. Infrared sauna treatments are also an effective way to help your body's immune response. She recommends doing both.

You also want to supplement your diet with Vitamin D with K2, Vitamin C, and NAC. She recommends the Pure Synergy brand: https://thesynergycompany.com/products/d3k2

We also need to stay hydrated, and although it sounds counterintuitive, putting sea salt on your tongue before drinking your water helps you stay hydrated. Celtic salt has magnesium in it, and almost all of us are deficient in Magnesium. I use Redmond RealSalt - that’s straight from an ancient seabed and full of trace minerals. https://redmond.life/

26-Don't Let Anyone Determine Your Worth - Kristen Keogh

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0700

Like most women, Kristen has had a tumultuous relationship with her body and self-worth for most of her young life. Being in modeling, acting, then journalism and content creation put tons of so-called experts in her path telling her what was acceptable and what wasn’t. She was told what she needed to look like and what to wear, even down to the BRA. She silently suffered early in life with an eating disorder that she's never talked about publicly. Kristen was later diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that left her in constant pain and agony for years while working multiple jobs with insane hours. Again, everyone in her life told her what she was supposed to be, look like, post, do, and say.

I'm so grateful for Kristen for opening up about really uncomfortable topics about her personal life because she's a great example to all women struggling to love themselves and their bodies. Kristen proves to us that no matter what we believed when we were young, we can take our power back, grow to love our bodies, and live a truly fulfilled life on our own terms. She now has a young son, complete freedom to run her business and be a mom, and she doesn’t let anyone outside herself determine her worth. In this episode, she shares powerful stories and inspiration so all women can do the same and love themselves completely.

25-You Are Enough - Pam Duran

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 08:00:00 -0700

Pam Duran gets real and raw in this episode. When her boys were young, she came home from church and her first husband pulled a gun on them. Pam tells her story about how escaping domestic violence was the beginning of the end and the beginning of the beginning. She remarried, and life was going well...until her life was disrupted again. She was scammed by someone pretending to be a celebrity. She sold her cars, divorced her husband, and moved to Nashville within 30 days. She lost over $30,000. She shares her story to show others that when you don't love yourself and know your worth, you will fall for deception and lies. Her story demonstrates how we can choose to want better for ourselves and how forgiveness can launch you toward redemption, grace, and ultimately unconditional love and a purpose-filled life.
Now, Pam is an author and coach who helps women really love themselves and restart again, no matter how many times they need to.

Pam is also the host of her own podcast called Real Heart Talk:

19-Your Misery Can Be Your Mission - Priscilla Smith

Wed, 31 May 2023 13:00:00 -0700

Priscilla is an incredible woman who literally lived in a shed with no running water as a child after emigrating to the US from Brazil. She endured endless abuse and was forced into joining a gang. The only reason she’s alive today is because she escaped to Florida. Eventually, she moved back to Albuquerque and married her high school crush. (They’re still married to this day!) Priscilla's story is incredibly moving, and she recently published her memoir, Unravelling Passion.
She became a wildly successful entrepreneur and owns one of the biggest nail salons in Albuquerque. Over the years of hiring hundreds of young women, she was horrified at how many had lived through the same trauma: sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She made it her mission to hire young women with no training, and watch their self-worth blossom as they learned to do nails, grew their businesses, and learn how special they truly are. Priscilla embodies how your misery can be your ministry, and you can thrive no matter how horrible your past circumstances were.
She has started a non-profit organization to build a beauty school for teens and women who have been rescued from trafficking. Once they graduate, she will give them jobs and help them thrive despite the horrific trauma they have been through. Priscilla’s mission is to help women who have had a tough go of it fight for a better future by building their own businesses in the beauty industry.

17-STOP DIETING! Learn How To Eat For Your Best Life! With Jenny Hernandez, Certified Nutritionist

Mon, 15 May 2023 13:00:00 -0700

My friend Autumn has a killer body. She's maintained a super fit and strong body through two pregnancies and a decade after. About seven years ago, she came to my house for a party and was eating chocolate chip cookies (plural!) My mind was blown. I thought in order to be fit, you had to deny yourself any treats and all of your favorite foods! I asked her "How can you eat cookies and look amazing like you do?" She said, "When you figure out what to eat for your body, your body knows what to do with it."
Mind blown again.
She told me that Jenny Hernandez, a certified Nutritionist, was her coach, and I called Jenny the next day.

How many times have you tried a new diet? How many times have you failed and been disappointed and frustrated? I have a dozen times! Remember the non-fat diet? I did that. It's super healthy eating non-fat Entenmanns cookies all day. And there's Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Carnivore, and on and on and on. There's so much information out there; it's extremely difficult to determine what to eat! I yo-yo dieted for decades until I hired Jenny Hernandez. She coached me for years, helped me lose weight and figure out what diet was best for me, and most importantly, completely changed my mindset about food. Idont diet anymore, and I don't track my food anymore, ad I've been able to maintain my weight since I stopped coaching.

So, in this week's episode, I sit down with Jenny and we discuss all the things that will help YOU figure out what to eat so you can sleep better, feel better, and have more energy. And, if you have a few stubborn pounds that you can't seem to lose, this will help you do that, too!

16-Anne Laguzza - Put Yourself First And Re-Invent Your Life!

Thu, 11 May 2023 15:00:00 -0700

At one point, several years ago, Anne Laguzza realized she only had one pair of pants that fit her. She was unhappy every day and going to sleep at night praying that she would wake up. Then she went to a conference where a personal trainer was speaking. Inspired by what he said, Anne signed up to work with him.

15-Rocky Anderson - Find Your Strength From Adversity And THRIVE

Wed, 03 May 2023 12:00:00 -0700

Rocky Anderson is a very successful entrepreneur whose journey has been full of abuse and adversity. An extremely abusive mother and indifferent father who introduced him to drugs led him to do music. He loved performing and writing music (he has a 4-octave vocal range!) but met a woman at age 19 and got married. She was not supportive of his music, and he dropped that passion completely. After that 20+ year relationship ended, he completely rebuilt his business and his life from the ground up. His story and the lessons he shares are proof that you can go through any crisis, any abuse, and any adversity, completely pivot and thrive!

12-Bridget Talty - A Life Of Unconditional Love And Service

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:00:00 -0700

When I asked Bridget when how old she was when she knew that she wanted to do social work, she replied, “I just knew in my soul that I wanted to help others.” She doesn’t remember ever wanting to do anything else, and she’s led a life entirely devoted to service. I had the privilege of meeting Bridget because of the charity work Berge Toyota has done with A New Leaf, the non profit where Bridget has worked for over 30 years. Serving thousands of meals a week, housing hundreds of women who have escaped domestic violence, feeding and housing hundreds of homeless men and women, including veterans, A New Leaf is the undisputed champion in our community. And Bridget is the most compassionate, loving, and selfless person I’ve ever met. I love her and I love this organization. She shares her story of being adopted, her parents divorcing when she was 6, and then her mom kicking her out of the house at age 13 before sh started her lifelong journey of unconditional love and service. I hope you love this interview!

11-Jill Bunny - Cancer Survivor And Therapist Tells How To Create The 2.0 Version Of Your Life

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 14:00:00 -0700

Jill Bunny is a master coach and therapist who specializes in boundaries, weight loss, and relationships. She’s a super healer and has been through a pretty tough journey herself. She tells her story of going through a tough divorce at a very young age and developed an eating disorder which left her to return home to live with her parents weighing in at 97 pounds (she’s 5”10”). She became a fitness competitor/model, graced multiple magazine covers and publications and won 4 IFBB bikini titles. Then she received the devastating thyroid cancer diagnosis and her fitness career came to an abrupt halt. Within 6 months, she lost her identity as an athlete, gained over 50 pounds, and watched her fitness friends leave her high and dry because she was no longer of “value” or had “status”. This spiraled her into deep depression. Jill had pulled herself out of the darkness before but wasn’t sure she could do it again. She saw one major problem: she couldn’t physically push herself though this. She needed to mentally LEVEL UP. But didn’t have the skills. Her solution was to immerse herself in every self-help book she could find. That eventually led her down the path of specializing in neuroscience and BCT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and earning a masters degree.

Today, she helps women transform their lives, but with a serious upgrade. After 15 years of development, the Neuro-Slim Solution was created, including the 3-step proprietary process that helps women lose weight naturally and sustainably while creating the 2.0 life they’ve dreamed about. Her program focuses on long-term brain health, diseases such as disordered eating, hormonal balances, and mood disorders. Jill created the Neuro-Slim Solution to ensure brain health is optimized when losing and maintaining a healthy weight so women can create and live out their 2.0 life!

8-Angela Bradford - Creating Financial Freedom Undeterred By MS

Sat, 11 Feb 2023 16:00:00 -0700

Angela Bradford's story is incredibly unique and equally inspiring. She was homeschooled her entire life and spent hours and hours riding horses after her schoolwork was done each day. She trained horses and then switched gears after her beloved dog was killed by a car. She drove a school bus and then big rigs all over the country. Several years later, Angela made another huge shift and became a financial advisor who helps hundreds of families and dozens of team members become their own bosses and create the life of their dreams. A few years ago, her legs gave out underneath her. She couldn't walk. Then it happened again, which led her to testing and receiving the diagnosis of MS - Multiple Sclerosis. Her story is a guidebook for anyone who struggles with an auto immune disease, and any who wants to completely shift gears and change their life. She is a powerhouse who never quits and never gives up, and continues to out work everyone today even with her debilitating disease. Her story and wisdom illustrate exactly how anyone can build the life they want. Anyone can create financial freedom, and anyone can thrive through disease.
