Living Wellness Muse Podcast

Can the way we speak about aging shape how we experience it?
In this thought-provoking episode, metaphysician and author Dr. Velvete joins us to explore how language, belief systems, and mindset influence our experience of aging and our overall well-being.

She shares how true wellness means tending to the whole being—mind, body, and energetic field—rather than addressing symptoms in isolation.

We also unpack the powerful differe...

Here's a question...

What happens when you're at the pinnacle of your career, sharing the stage as a professional cellist with the likes of the Eagles, Andrea Botticelli, and Lady Gaga, and yet something just isn't right? Cue the panic attacks, throwing up off stage and a general feeling of dread before a performance.

This is what happened to my guest, Elizabeth Marshall, who joins me on the pod to...

Do you pay attention to your own self-talk? 

You might be surprised that when you do, it's full of judgment not only of yourself but others you don't even know. A common pitfall of our judgment is around our aging bodies and minds, and it's deeply ingrained in our psyche from a young age. Because of this internalized ageism, we make assumptions about what age means, what it says about the aging population, a...

I’ve invited to the podcast today Sarah Dickinson of the Nerdy Quill to talk about why an email newsletter, no matter what your business, passion, or topic is the number ONE place to invest to build whatever it is you want more of. 

Do you want to sell your ceramics? Do you want to be an expert in your industry? Do you want better clients that are pre-qualified and warmed up to buy from you? An email newsletter is the way ...

Let’s talk about taking big risks, shall we? 

They are terrifying! They trigger our primal brain so that we feel like we’re in real danger. It’s why most of us don’t take big risks or make big changes - because it stirs up all of the demons and fears we don’t normally deal with in our busy lives. But if there is a nagging feeling that something needs to change, and soon, chances are something needs to change soon! 

So today...

I've been percolating for a few years now on the gender roles not only in our society but in my home. So, when Gloria Steinem's 90th birthday rolled around in March, I knew it was a sign to do an episode on Modern Feminism. 

So many women besides Gloria have thrown their passion and voice into the conversation and because of this, so much has shifted in our favor over the last 60 years. There is still work to do,...

Here we are again, talking about money!

Why? It’s important because, for something we earn, touch, use, and interact with every day we sure have a hard time understanding how to make it work for us. For too many of us, especially women, it feels like we work for it but rarely feel we have any control over it. 

Let’s change that! 

On today’s episode, financial advisor and CEO, Stephanie Jones of Stephanie Jones Wealth joins me to talk ...

Have you considered going into business for yourself, but perhaps thought you weren’t outgoing enough or didn’t have enough pizzaz? Well, here’s the good news, that isn’t necessary. Entrepreneurship is for everyone, the key is to find the right format, clients, and partners that play to your strengths, not your shortcomings. 

Today, I’m joined by an award-winning business coach Katherine Mackenzie-Smith who is a champion and strateg...

Have you ever experienced a spiritual transformation?

If you're not sure, hop into this week's episode where, in her book In Deep Shift, my guest, Valerie Gangas, writes about the markers of a spiritual awakening, what feels weird but is normal, and also how we can have hope that the hard work of shedding old habits and identities doesn't last forever. 

This episode is the anatomy of a spiritual awa...

Are you cut out for self-employment but don’t know how to make the jump? 

If your answer is yes, then this episode is for you. Today I’m joined by Numbers Witch and Self-Employment Bookkeeper Regan Bashara who empowers passionate, open-hearted entrepreneurs in their pursuit of a sustainable and profitable business. Regan helps us identify what we need in place before we jump, and how we might build a sustainable business for the lon...

In today's episode, we're talking about beauty! 

Not the kind you get from creams and the right shade of lipstick, but the kind you cultivate from the inside out. The kind of beauty where you know you value and worth and that gives you a glow and vitality you've never seen before. 

My guest today is beauty expert and life and mindset coach, Marlu Soria. She shares with us what she learned about beau...

On today’s episode, my special guest is ME! 

I’m coming to you today solo on the mic to share my thoughts about the process of healing, the process of coming home to yourself, and how that looks out in the real world while interacting with other real people, especially the ones we love. 

There is a lot of mainstream talk about doing this kind of work, but very few talk about how we relate differently to people and...

Money, Money, Money. 

What a charged and ever-present topic. Money can hold meaning in significantly different ways for all of us, symbolizing access, status, struggle, or those things we want most that are just out of our reach. 

No matter where we land on the spectrum of having or not having enough money, our relationship with it, how we spend and save it,  and most importantly how we feel about all of that, is vital to h...

Did you hear that Facebook and Instagram went down yesterday? 

This is relevant because today we are talking about something for your business that makes social media less important than you imagine when it comes to fostering relationships and, ultimately sales, from your followers. 

It’s something called list building, which has the highest return on investment than any other marketing strategy. Today I am joined from the ...

The teen years can be a wild ride! As parents, it’s our job not to make them even harder. 

It’s tempting to make it about us and what we want and need - which is usually feeling in control of their lives even when that isn’t the reality anymore. The painful part is accepting that, loosening the grip, learning to trust them, and walking them through the highs and lows as they come with love, love, and more love. 

Today I'm joined...

FROM THE  SEASON 1 ARCHIVES:
Overworked, overcommitted, and generally over it. That sums up a whole lot of people in the world right now. On today's episode, I’m joined by Cori Lassahn and we’re talking about REST and how to get more of it, like, right now.

Featured in GOOP and Sunset Magazine, Cori is a registered yoga instructor and has taught yoga for 22-years. She created Vineyard Yoga eight years ago as a way to bring ...

Calling all business owners and entrepreneurs!

This one is for you. If you have a business then you know opening one is easy - all you need is something to sell, and someone to buy it, and voila you are in business. But to stand out in business, to find your perfect clients in business, and to thrive as a business that is a whole other story. 

To stand out, you need something called a brand identity. A brand is the personality of the...
