  • 27. Big Emotions (Here's a Gentle Solution)
    Nov 5 2025

    Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or just plain stressed? In this episode, we're exploring tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT) ~ a simple, science-backed practice to help you gently shift stress, self-doubt, and the pressure to "do it all."

    My guest, Jeanne Demers, shares her journey from the theater stage to teaching and healing. Together, we uncover the hidden ways family patterns can show up: money worries, creativity blocks, people-pleasing, and that sneaky sense of never being "enough." Jeanne guides us through a hands-on tapping round, so you can experience the benefits right along with us ~ no experience needed!

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • What tapping is (and why it works for big emotions)
    • How childhood & family patterns might still be running the show
    • Easy ways to use EFT for money, creativity, relationships & self-worth
    • A step-by-step tapping demo you can follow along with

    If you're ready to bring a little more ease and self-compassion to your day, tune in and tap along with us. 💙

  • 25. What Really Matters Now? A Heart-to-Heart on Core Values for Gen X Women
    Sep 24 2025

    If you've ever found yourself running on autopilot, juggling everyone's needs but your own, this heart-to-heart is for you. We're getting real about the Gen X reality of always "doing it all," losing yourself in the process, and the brave questions that can help you reconnect with what actually matters now. Tune in for honest stories, practical shifts, and a gentle invitation to step out of the world's expectations…and into a life shaped by your own core values.

    In this episode, you'll hear:
    • Why so many Gen X women feel like they've lost themselves (and why it's not just you!)
    • The real reason it's so hard to break out of autopilot, and how to begin
    • My turning point and how asking a single new question changed everything
    • How "Living Into Your Core Values" was born (and what it can do for you)
    • A true story about saying "no," surviving people-pleaser panic, and making space for a better "yes"
    • Common myths about core values (spoiler: you're not too old and you can put yourself first without guilt)
    • Who this course is for, and what you'll actually get out of it
