    Power of the Pivot with Kari Jo Kelso

    Power of the Pivot with Kari Jo Kelso

    Kari Jo and I are talking all about the power of the pivot, and what it looks like to take riskier pursuits alongside a more ‘safe’ career choice. We’re digging into the importance of gaining clarity and really shifting your perspective when it comes to living your life (without letting other people’s opinions factor into this), how a high achievement-oriented personality can show up for business owners, the whirlwind of emotions that come with going in a completely new direction in business, mindset blocks and limiting beliefs that tend to plague many entrepreneurs, and more.
    Kari Jo was born and raised in rural West Central Illinois. She grew up with a passion for agriculture and pursued a doctorate of veterinary medicine (DVM) at Oklahoma State University. Less than a year after graduating, she started a side hustle selling t-shirts online to help pay for plane tickets home. Little did she know that this would grow into (mostly) her full-time job. There have been a few twists and turns through the years, but she still loves practicing 2 days a week, and even owns an event venue downtown in her hometown.
     
    In this episode, we will cover:
    Gaining clarity and shifting your perspective of how you truly want to live YOUR life (no matter what anyone else thinks)  What led Kari Jo to recently rebrand and pivot her business + the many mixed emotions that pop up when you’re making big changes in your business Finding acceptance in knowing that you’re making the best decision and going in the right direction, even when you feel uncertain and uncomfortable Limiting beliefs and mindset challenges that come with being a small business owner in a small town

    Why You Should Commit to An Endurance Challenge

    Why You Should Commit to An Endurance Challenge

    In today’s episode, I want to talk about why you should commit to an endurance challenge. Running is such a beautiful example of how you can show up for yourself, and it’s also a powerful lesson in goal setting. While it’s one thing to say you’re going to run or train for a certain event, it’s an entirely different thing to actually commit, and do the dang thing! When you push past the limits of what you think is possible, it unlocks an entirely new capacity for what IS possible in your life.
     
    In this episode, we cover:
    My journey to never feeling confident or coordinated doing any type of athletics, to a place of loving and honoring my body with running and regular movement Learning to set a goal that you can actually reverse engineer + why running is one of the most powerful lessons in goal setting The moment I vowed to never pass on the ugly diet culture mentality to my children Understanding what your priorities are and being okay with asking for help when you need it Growing the ‘muscles’ of grit and tenacity by doing hard things that you never thought you were capable of, but feel so proud of when you do The fantastic health benefits that come from running (or any type of endurance challenge) What my training plan looks like

    Wall Art and Intuition

    Wall Art and Intuition

    Multiple times throughout my life, I’ve learned HOW important it is to lean into my own intuition, instead of playing by other people’s rulebooks. We all have that gut feeling, and little ‘inner knowing’, but so often, we’re afraid to tune into it (or we’ve forgotten how to). I even experienced this with my most recent Ascend retreat event, and the way I went about planning and marketing for it. While I believe it can be helpful to get other people’s perspectives, in the end, you have to be able to trust that you really DO know what’s best, and what will yield the most fruitful outcome.
     
    In this episode, we cover:
    My recent experience with trying to create a fun and unique gym space in our (newly) renovated home, and my realization that came from this Leaning into your intuition and gut feeling, instead of playing by someone else’s rules and what they think you should do Opening registration and marketing for my Ascend retreat a year in advance, and the results that came from that Choosing to do things my own way with my entrepreneurial journey, the decisions I made as a first time mom, etc.

    Divine Feminine and Mother Wounds with Jada Dobesh

    Divine Feminine and Mother Wounds with Jada Dobesh

    Jada and I are talking about the divine feminine and mother wounds, and how much masculine versus feminine energy comes into play here. The concept of ‘more’ can be so detrimental, because as women, we are always being told to go and DO more. Even if we are doing all.the.things, we still hear that what we are doing isn’t enough, and this negatively impacts us further. We’re also digging into the very precarious topic of mother wounds, and how this impacts both females and males, and the entire family dynamic. Mother wounds require a LOT of bravery to feel and explore, but it can feel nearly impossible to actually FEEL what is needed. When mother wounds go unnoticed or untreated, the lasting effects can show up completely off-kilter for husbands and wives, feelings of unworthiness become more ingrained in us, and we don’t pay any attention to the beautiful gift that is our intuition.
     
    In this episode, we will cover:
    What divine femininity is + masculine vs. feminine energy, and how these traits show up for us in our world The concept of ‘more’, and changing the way we think what that really means Where the mother wound actually comes from, and why it’s such a tricky topic Why we ALL need nurturance + acknowledging how we both did (and didn’t) get nurtured when we needed it, and learning to self-nurture Really working on your ability to be able to receive, and finding confidence to ASK for what you need from a trusted person How males are affected by mother and parental wounds The off-kilter dynamic between husbands and wives that often shows up in marriages What you can do to start shifting and improving yourself and your marriage Why self worth is such an ENORMOUS piece of the puzzle + how it shows up in our bodies The detrimental effects that can happen when we lose/don’t tap into our intuition as women  Jada’s role in starting very uncomfortable and also deeply important conversations with women, and the world Being intentional about loving life in this moment, instead of trying to improve and do more

    Understanding and Embracing Your Cycle with Jada Dobesh

    Understanding and Embracing Your Cycle with Jada Dobesh

    I’m excited to be joined by my friend, Jada Dobesh, on the podcast today! Jada and I connected in fall 2023, and we both share a passion for educating and inspiring women (especially in rural communities). We want to help women deeply understand and know themselves completely, so they actually can grow, heal, and thrive for years to come! In today's episode, Jada and I are talking about understanding and embracing your cycle, and what each phase of your cycle entails.
    Jada Dobesh is a Spiritual Healing Facilitator and the creator of Selah Space, a holistic wellness co-op in Sioux Falls. In her work, Jada offers her clients the space and the practices to heal their spirituality, sexuality and self-worth. Jada intentionally honors her client’s spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being in her practice. Jada is delighted to share about the wisdom of the feminine body and its 5th vital sign, the menstrual cycle; womb energy and women’s reproductive health; generational wounds and the healing of mother wounds in women who are “technically fine.” When she’s not cultivating healing within the walls of Selah Space, a place for members and practitioners to come together in one space to help one another become well, Jada is mama to Audrey, age 5 and Marek, age 3, and wife to Witt. Jada’s education includes Bachelor of Arts degrees in Clinical Psychology and Theology/Youth Ministry and graduate degrees in Christian Leadership and Spiritual Direction. She is also certified in Master Level Reiki Healing and Brainspotting.
    In this episode, we will cover:
    Really understanding yourself and your cycle + the 4 phases in detail Healthy ways to ‘feel’ your feelings, and release them effectively Why your body’s symptoms are its way of communicating with you Rewriting the narrative around womanhood so we truly CAN understand and trust ourselves What the divine feminine is + how you can truly tap into it What the wounded feminine is + questioning why it’s been ingrained into us for so long
