Friendship Across the Miles

Maintaining Friendship With Marco Polo App
Michele, River, and Samantha discussed their close friendship and how they maintain it despite geographical distance. They extensively used the Marco Polo app to share their daily lives and create a sense of familiarity. They also explored the app's group feature, with Michele advising that smaller groups of 5-6 people work best to avoid feeling overwhelmed. The trio expressed their gratitude for the app, recognizing it as a valuable tool for their friendship and recommending it to others. They also planned to create a group on the app to connect with their listeners for their podcast.
You can reach Samantha and look into her 12-week, self-led program of Unboxing your sexuality.

Laurian Gladue

River + Michele enjoy a beautiful conversation with Laurian Gladue. Laurian specializes in Ortho-Bionomy. Ortho-Bionomy is a holistic approach to healing that works with the proprioceptive aspects of the nervous system to cue the self-corrective reflexes inherent in everyone. Ortho-Bionomy uses gentle positioning and movements which can allow tension patterns that are creating pain to relax, reset, and reorganize from within. 
Then there's this whole other cool side of her where her humble spirit lives and grows within her indigenous, Cree tribe. The Cree are a North American Indigenous people. They live primarily in Canada, where they form one of the country's largest First Nations. In Canada, more than 350,000 people are Cree or have Cree ancestry.
She's training to be a facilitator for sweat lodges. This is cool because it's typically male-dominated. 
We loved this gentle conversation around a new modality and learning about her family and culture. 
You can find her @inner_alchemy_medicine on Instagram.

Fun Ramble

River + Michele enjoy what we are calling a ramble. We make some good points about life, kids, the summer, entrepreneurship, and business growth. Selling ourselves and just knowing our worth. 
We hope you enjoy this episode. 
Thanks so much for listening!

Lizzie Allan

River + Michele get the pleasure of speaking with Lizzie Allan, the creator of Hilarapy. Just think about a mash-up of therapy and comedy! She's an English creator living in BC, Canada. 
Comedy is an underrated skill. I (Michele) learned this when I had the pleasure of joining Comedy Connection to commit to it and warm up TV shows. It seems simple, bu it requires a set-up and a punchline. However, this is far more difficult than it looks. So many people want to be comics nowadays, thanks to exposure for comedians on streaming giants like Netflix, that it's truly an art to dig down deep and find an original twist on a premise. This is where comedy is so underrated. Comedy requires critical and deep thinking to find a way to surprise an audience. Lizzie has found a beautiful balance between being her authentic "OUT" self and making people smile and learn through laughter. 
We hope you all enjoy this beautiful episode.
Thanks for listening, Michele + River

Reinventing Ourselves

River + Michele are back together in the studio this week. There are many reasons why you might find yourself craving self-reinvention. Ultimately, it’s a sign that you are seeking change in some area of your life. Yes... that word, "change". 
Hope you enjoy today's episode!!

Michele Mignogna

Michele hosts alone this week but gets to chat about Human Design and parenting. This week, life and soul purpose coach Michele Mignogna joins us to explore how human design can give you greater insight into your true purpose, and parenting and how vision boards can help you manifest more in your life. 
Human Design combines astrology, the Chinese I Ching, Judaic Kabbalah, Vedic philosophy and modern physics, centering around the division of personalities into four energy types that indicate how someone can more harmoniously interact with the world, called Strategy.
Vision boarding: Turn your goals into a “crafternoon.”
Vision boards are a collection of images or objects arranged to help you manifest your goals or vision. This board can be physical or digital. 
Vision boards are highly versatile. You can use them to manifest your goals or create a visual representation of a vision statement. They’re perfect for helping you envision your dream life. But you can also use a vision board to outline your professional goals.
You can use a vision board for long-term goals, like achieving your 2-5 year plan. Or you can create a yearly vision board, too.
People who use vision boards usually place them where they’ll see them often. For instance, you can place a vision board on a mirror you use to get ready in the morning. Other people will prefer to hang it on a wall in a room they use often.
Hope you enjoy this episode! Don't forget to follow and share!!

Solo Hiking - River

On this week’s episode River shares her love of solo hiking and travel as a tool for self-growth, and answers questions submitted by our Instagram audience! From favorite destinations to the big question “Do you carry bear spray, flatware, or a gun?” this solo cast gives personal experiences on several aspects of solo travel/hiking. 
 
“Hiking is a bit like life: The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. “The best view comes after the hardest climb.
 
First off, solo hiking means freedom! It allows you to go whenever and wherever you want, without waiting for friends or partners to be available. It allows you to disconnect from technology and distractions, giving you an increased sense of peace in nature. 
 
Solo hiking also allows you to set your own pace and itinerary. You can hike as slow or as fast as you want, and there will be no catching up after stopping to take the hundredth photo! 
 
One of the most rewarding benefits of solo hiking is the sense of personal accomplishment. Hiking alone increases self-reliance and self-sufficiency, in turn, increases my self-esteem. I consider solo hiking an essential to my self-care.
