    "Whether it's the stress of a physical illness or the stress of emotional stuff or the stress of moving, it's all going in the same bucket from our body's perspective. I was pouring more and more in there when what I needed was to get a bigger bucket and take some stuff out." - Becca Benning

    Powerful Communication and Breathing Fire With Author Blaise Hunter
    ”Your words can either heal or hurt. Don't you ever be the prick.”

    Blaze Hunter is an author, award winning speaker, brand specialist, and maybe most importantly, a communications expert. In this episode, Blaise discusses the connection between emotions and the body, and how it plays a role in autoimmune disease.

    Blaise was diagnosed in her 20’s with EGPA, a rare autoimmune disease that affects the lungs. At the time she was working as a television broadcaster and her disease tried to take her voice - but she had none of that. Now she literally roars on stage as she turns her pain into purpose. And she’s bringing some of that passion to us.

    Discussed in this week’s episode:

    • The importance of listening to your body and understanding its signals.
    • Blaise shares her personal journey of how her body’s signals led to a deeper understanding of herself and her emotions. 
    • How Blaise turned her pain into purpose and her work in helping others communicate compassionately with each other - and with themselves.
    • Her work in reproductive health rights and how she empowers others to breathe fire.

    Is there a positive side to the inner critic?
    "Learning how to turn off your mind is as important as learning how to work on it." - Andrea Hanson

    This week I'm doing a little behind the scenes look at what I'm working on right now. My new online course, The 8 Week Mindset Challenge is starting soon, and this week I'm sharing what the challenge is all about - including negative thinking and the surprising ways it impacts us.

    I'm telling a little of my personal journey when I took a deep dive into my own negative thinking after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And common challenges among high-achievers, who I call "Ex-hustlers," in adjusting to life with chronic illness - even years after the onset of the disease. (I put myself in that category as well.)

    In this episode I discuss:

    • The power of taming our inner critic (and the common advise that actually makes it louder).
    • Teaching what I call the Whole Mindset Method and why the power of using our whole mindset is so much greater than simply looking at positivity.
    • My upcoming 8 Week Mindset Challenge and how it sets you up to make any lifestyle change (exercise, food changes, rest, whatever you like) in a much easier and sustainable way. And how you can get involved.

    • Delve into the challenges faced in accurate Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment.
