    Today, I had a calming and grounding conversation with Jessica Hoch, the founder of Moxie Malas, a crystal energy and aromatherapy jewelry company based in Minnesota. Jessica shared her journey from being a yoga and meditation teacher to starting Moxie Malas, and we delved deep into the power and use of crystals. We discussed what a mala is, how to select crystals, and how they can enhance meditation, prayer, and daily practices. I learned so much about setting intentions and using these beautiful pieces to ground myself and focus my energies. Jessica even explained the significance of different crystals, how to wear them, and the benefits they provide. Plus, I got insights into Moxie Malas monthly bracelet subscription and Jessica's workshops on creating personal intentions with crystals. This episode is full of valuable information, whether you’re new to crystals or looking to deepen your practice. Don't miss it!

    In my third podcast episode with Paula Pister, we dive deeper into understanding and nurturing our intuition. Previously, we explored why many midlife women have stopped listening to their intuition. Today, the focus shifts to practical approaches for rekindling this inner voice. Paula shares various methods to integrate self-care into daily routines, from simple morning gratitude practices to cultivating meditation habits. Additionally, we discuss the importance of caring for our 'five bodies'—physical, energetic, emotional, intuitive, and soul—and how each impacts our overall well-being. The conversation emphasizes the role of small, intentional changes in creating lasting positive habits. Tune in for insightful tips on how to reconnect with your intuition and improve your holistic health.
