Prosper & Flourish

Environmental wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that avoids the toxins that are destroying our health and encourages us to live in harmony with the Earth by taking action to protect it. The goal is to simplify and purify our lives.

Conventional medicine does not acknowledge toxicity as an important health issue, but numerous studies have shown this to be the underlying cause of many chronic symptoms experienced today, like obesity, fatigue, reproductive health issues, hormone imbalances, mental fog, memory loss, sleep disturbances and the rising rates of cancer.

Just as your house collects dust and dirt, so does your body.  Our bodies are contaminated with the environmental toxins and chemicals we come into contact with every day.  There are the obvious toxins, such as mercury, lead, and arsenic.  But did you know toxins can come from candles and plug ins, household cleaners, paper products, food containers, our food and personal care products?

We have two homes, our bodies and the earth. We have to be committed to taking care of both.

Cultivating spiritual wellness is a personal matter involving values and beliefs-it also helps to provide a purpose in our lives and in the human existence, and allows us to appreciate our life experiences- the good, bad and ugly. 

When we find meaning in these life experiences, we will be able to develop harmony with our inner self and the outside world.

This weeks Prosper & Flourish episode is all about staying connected to our spiritual wellness and finding ways to improve our spiritual wellness when we feel lost, disconnected and defeated. 

When we're spiritually healthy, we feel more connected to not only a higher power, but to those around us because we have more clarity about making everyday choices, and our actions become more consistent with our beliefs and values.

Social wellness involves building healthy, nurturing and supportive relationships, as well as, fostering a genuine connection with those around you. With COVID this year, we have all had to learn how to connect and grow our social wellness in new ways…like Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, FaceTime and social media. But, there are other ways to foster our social wellness...

In this episode with Luly B., we are talking about cultivating our social wellness online and beyond!

Today we are discussing emotional wellness and I am interviewing a dear friend of mine, Suzanne Ramsey. She is always so positive and uplifting and also happens to be Educational Specialist in school psychology. She has her BA in elementary education with a specialization in Early childhood and sociology and she's been working for 30 years in education in public schools and also in private practice. 

I decided to bring Suzanne onto the podcast for this Emotional Wellness episode because I think we need to be more open on the importance of discussing mental health, things to look for and how to help those suffering with depression and/or anxiety.

This episode is a bit longer than my usual episodes, but it is packed with lots of information about emotional wellness and mental health. 

Season 2 is all about breaking down each dimension of wellness in an understandable and relatable way!

Wellbeing is the experience of overall health and happiness, and it consists of positive relationships with others, and includes having a sense of purpose in all we do. Wellbeing is so much deeper than its definition though. It literally affects our life in every single area. I’ve done a ton of research on this and learned a lot about it at IIN and also through my own personal experience and I cannot stress enough about how important it is to really think about how this pertains to your life.

There are 8 Dimensions to Wellness that impact every area of our lives and understanding how each dimension impacts us on a daily basis is step one to developing wellness as a lifestyle and truly cultivating our wellbeing.

If you’re ready to implement wellness as a lifestyle and really focus on the 8 dimensions of wellness, you can join my free FB How to do a Life Audit class. The reason why conducting an audit and clarifying your personal goals and your why is so important lies within the innate power we all possess to create and manifest our desires. If you are not sure what these desires are, then how on earth can you expect to achieve them?

As always, I hope you find something in this podcast that can help you proser and flourish in life! If you love the Prosper & Flourish podcast, please share it with a friend and leave me a review!! Season 2 is all about breaking down each dimension of wellness in an understandable and relatable way! So stay tuned!

Did you know that according to a study published in ‘Personality and Individual Differences,’ grateful people experience fewer aches and pains, and they report feeling healthier than other people? Pretty incredible right? Gratitude may be one of the most overlooked tools that we all have access to every day and the best part…It’s totally free! 

The biggest perk is that building a gratitude practice can help you reduce your stress. And who couldn't use that?!

This episode encourages cultivating gratitude because gratitude inspires a more joyful life. I am sharing simple and effective ways to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, along with resources to help you build a gratitude practice!

This episode of the Prosper & Flourish podcast dives into re-evaluating relationships. It’s important to note that we have different types of relationships and they each influence and affect our lives in a different way. Relationships are one of the foundations to overall wellness and healthy relationships help us thrive, while unhealthy relationships can affect our mood, our happiness and so much more!

So, whether we are putting effort into the good relationships, or that we need to eliminate the bad relationships, or let go of the ugly relationships, or be straight up and address the toxic relationships or maybe we need to ditch certain social media relationships- it is time for us to step back and re-evaluate ALL of our relationships. 

In this episode, I'll address the question that I wish I would have asked myself years ago, and I'll share some simple tips that I learned for coping with conflict. I'll also dive into social media relationships and share what I do yearly for my mental health. 

It's time that we normalize outgrowing relationships and cheering for each other from afar!

While selfceare looks different for each of us, its important to spend a little time focusing on ourselves, everyday. 

We can't pour from an empty cup, so I'm sharing my 20X3 method with you. This is a simple way that I am able to engage my mind, my body and my soul everyday…a simple way that I get to make sure that I spend some time on myself.

The secret key to maintaining some sort of mental clarity is having an intentional approach to "me time”. 

This episode of the Prosper & Flourish podcast focuses on ways to cultivate a positive outlook (and a few things we should avoid).

Our thoughts directly impact our outlook on life and our thoughts will lay the groundwork for the day ahead...they are the blueprint for our lives.

You don’t have to live with negative thoughts and a negative outlook on life.

You get to choose to change the channel and have a positive outlook.

Listen to now to find simple habits that will help you cultivate a positive outlook on life!

PURPOSE is by far my FAVORITE topic, ever, because once you find your purpose, your life changes. You see things differently. You understand your reason for being. 

There are some people who have a specific talent that is so extreme that it is easy to detect that they were truly “made” to do it. 

For the rest of us, determining what we were “made to do” can be a little less obvious. Part of this is because most of us are influenced by our families and society to follow paths that we're “supposed” to. 

Our roles, careers, hobbies, and relationships are often chosen more because of our conditioning or because we feel we “should” rather than because they are a fit for whom we truly are. 

It is no surprise that the people who make decisions for their lives based on who they really are and what they genuinely want are more satisfied and more successful. 

Living a life "on purpose" means using your natural talents, following your natural interests, and living in alignment with who you truly are. 

Alignment (my word of the year for 2020) means you are doing what you came here to do! 

This episode sheds some light on purpose vs passion and how you can easily find your purpose and live in alignment.

Mastering your Mindset is a powerful tool to develop. It requires daily work and intention. 

Today's episode I am talking to Kaitlyn Embury, my dear friend, a full time artist and eternal optimist. 

Kaitlyn shares some nuggets of wisdom on how to cultivate and master your mindset....hint, hint....it's not as difficult as you think!

There are 3 elements to mastering your mindset...listen to find out what they are! Then, apply these to your life and experience the power of positive thinking!

Do you know the 3 Most important Questions that we should be asking ourselves?

Most of us were forced to pick a career path before we were even adults. At that age,we didn't know what we really wanted out of life. We didn't even know what our purpose in life was yet. 

These 3 questions will help us discover what it really means to live a life of purpose.

We need to ask ourselves:

What is it I really want and what would truly make me, and the people I love, happy?

If you haven’t given this much thought before, you’re not the only one. Many people don’t ask themselves what it really means to live a life of purpose...in fact, most people have yet to uncover what their purpose in life is. 

Purpose is an important element to wellness..it is our North Star and without it, we are not living up to our full potential. Before we dive into uncovering our purpose, we are going to ask ourselves the 3 most important questions.

These questions will help us define what is important to us for our future. 

There are no right or wrong answers...each of our paths is as unique as a finger print. This episode is about discovering what makes your soul shine and makes your life a wonderful and fulfilling experience.
