  • Flashback! Enjoy this episode from the Powerful Questions Podcast.

    This week I welcome one of my beautiful friends, Jen Quade to the show. She is a holistic nurse who runs a woman-centered practice here in Minneapolis focusing on mind-body-spirit work.

    This is the first of a two-part episode because our conversation was just so good! We talk about: Her experience growing up in a very masculine environment Her life-changing trip to Brazil Breathwork Mayan abdominal massage.

    Jen feels that our culture—as a whole—Is a masculine culture. So her experience of growing up as a tomboy on a farm and eventually becoming establishing a woman-centric practice with uterine massage and feminine movement has some powerful lessons for all women.

    She sees her work as “building a bridge” for other women who are also looking to trust their intuition and build community. After a spot opened up in an oncology class, Jen took a deep dive into holistic healing. Several opportunities arose and she found herself studying ways to calm the nervous system.

    Ahe became particularly interested in the power of breath control. Those of us who practice yoga completely understand how important breath can be!

    Jen also walks us through a fascinating discussion of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how our flight or fight response often registers everything as a threat, which can be exhausting.

    She uses soft-bellying breathing which triggers the Vagus nerve. Even five minutes of breathing can pull you out of the storm and back into the calm.

    This breathwork eventually lead Jen to Belize, where she studied Mayan Massage under Rosita Arvigo.

    Today, interested students can find teachers all over the world by visiting arvigotherapy.com. Jen tells us about why Mayan Massage is so beneficial; the uterus is at the center of our well-being. Alignment in this area can help our entire lives flow better aiding everything from digestion to creative energy.

  • Flashback! Another goodie from the Powerful Questions Podcast vault!

    Today’s show is going to be a bit of a departure from my format. It’ll be a little more personal and a little more off the cuff. You see, my grandpa has been in hospice and may be passing on in the next few days. [update - the day I recorded this podcast May 9th, 2017 my Grandpa passed away]

    It’s been a difficult time for my family as we have to say goodbye to this incredible man.

    One of the things I love my grandpa is that he is genuinely interested in the lives of everyone around him. And not just “how’s your business going?” But he really wants to know the inner workings of my practice. And he is like that with everyone in his life his kids, grandkids, and now even the great-grandkids.

    In just the past year he had to give up driving his own car, at the age of 92. And at 88 he flew out to Denver to be at our wedding.

    In the past few months, I’ve been visiting him often and bringing him orange juice, coffee, and donuts. We’ve had some very authentic conversations, and we come from very different generations and disagree about many of the major issues facing the world right now.

    But that doesn’t stop us from having heart-centered conversations. And I’ve come to really cherish that because there are very few people I’m close to right now who have such a different worldview.

    Right now there are so many divides in the world. And when I see cruel responses posted to cruel status updates, I find it heartbreaking. When I am tempted to fire off a response I try to remember Gandhi's famous quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

    We must take responsibility for our own actions and contributions in the world. Looking at the other guy will not create the change we are looking for. Ask yourself, where do I need to take responsibility to be the change I want to see?"

    To honor my grandpa, I am committed to putting my judgments aside and having more heart-centered conversations with others, even those I disagree with. When we do the inner work, it will create real change in the world.

    It’s one of the things I love most of my work as a mindset coach. When I am able to transform limiting beliefs of just one person it can have a profound impact on the world and its consciousness.

    Now, go get BIG!

  • Flashback to the Powerful Questions podcasts with Jenner.

    We’ve been diving pretty deep for the past couple of episodes getting real with ourselves and making some big decisions. So this time we’re going to keep it light.

    This week’s question is: What do I want to be when I grow up?

    This week I want you to approach the question from the perspective of your younger self. How did you see your life going? I want you to write down the details. Did you imagine the kind of house you would live in? The city you’d live in? And don’t just focus on the kind of job you thought you’d have. Try to remember all of the details you dreamed up as a kid. For this week’s exercise, I’d like you to grab a pen, a piece of paper and write down everything that comes to mind. And don’t stop. This week I have created a free workbook with several prompts to help you explore this question.

    Just email us at [email protected] to get your free workbook!

    For me, this exercise brought back some very specific memories. When I was younger, I wanted to be a dancer. And I was for most of my teenage years. As the middle child, I loved being the center of attention! And I loved dancing.

    Whenever we would have a party I would put on my dress or leotard, use the back deck as my stage, and do my dance routine for our friends and family. I loved seeing the looks on my parents’ faces lit up with so much joy. When I would look into the crowd I wouldn’t see anyone who wasn’t smiling and enjoying the show…me! And I think that’s what lit me up the most…seeing how much fun everyone was having.

    Now that I am a life coach I still get to be on stage doing speaking events and this podcast. And what lights me up now is seeing the looks on my clients’ faces when I guide them to through to a new perspective. If this exercise is emotionally difficult for you then you might consider hiring a life coach to help you through past issues on the way to personal freedom. I do offer a free 30-minute clarity session. You can find out more about this opportunity here! Next week, we will use your workbook as the launching pad for one of my most favorite exercises.

  • Flashback to Our Powerful Questions Podcast.

    In this episode, I (Jenner Linden) discuss the process I have used with one of my life-coaching clients who was feeling disillusioned with her choice to pursue a degree. Essentially, she is wondering if it is time to make a change in her life.

    This week’s question is: How do I know if I’m ready for a change? One of my clients is working toward a degree and finds herself at a crossroads. Should she finish her degree? Go on and complete another degree? Or seek another path?

    As a life coach, this is one of the key questions I see time and time again. People come in the door asking “How do I know I am ready for a change?” even if they aren’t aware that is their deeper question.

    The first step is to go back to the start and ask ourselves, “why did I make this decision in the first place?” For my client, it was because she thought education would bring her a sense of security and a sense of worth.

    I talk about how I helped her get clear on her reasons so she could make an empowering decision. At this point you may be wondering facing a major decision in your life, I’m here to help!

  • Flashback to my first podcast! Powerful Questions w/Jenner

    The Quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask. In each episode, Jenner offers a question for you to connect with your own truth.

    Today’s question is: What is the Most Important Thing to You?

    On the surface, this question appears simple and most people have a knee-jerk response. However, this is a perfect example of why I tell my listeners and life-coaching clients to stay with the question. I’ve found that people first, knee-jerk response is rarely ever what the most important thing in their life is true. I was recently listening to an episode of the Tim Ferris podcast featuring Debbie Millman.

    For decades, Millman had thought that the most important thing for her was making it as a designer. But after some self-reflection, she realized that living in Manhattan actually turned out to be a priority that was driving her life. She found herself living in a “decrepit” and “deplorable” little apartment to make this happen.

    The answer to this question often changes over time. That’s because I’m not asking, “What is your life’s purpose?” I’m asking you to dive deep on the factors that hold the most sway over your life.

    This question became really important for me over the past few years as my husband and I have been on a fertility journey together. At that time I would have said the most important thing to me was “to have a family.”

    However, when I stuck with the question I came to realized that the more accurate answer would be “to be a stay-at-home mom with a career I love.” Staying with the question has lead me to the best career of my life, enrolling the help of a nutritionist and opening up a conversation about adoption.

  • Flashback to my first podcast - Powerful Questions!

    Let me ask you this: Are you waking up each morning excited to start the day? Do you have relationships that inspire your growth? Do you fall asleep each day grateful for all that you had the chance to experience?

    Or.. do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning? Do you dread the workday and find yourself surrounded by people who don’t share your values. Are you holding out for the weekend that never seems long enough?

    If you are in the first group, then I want to give you a virtual high five because you are doing the work, And we all know that it takes work. If you are in the second group don’t get too down on yourself. Most people are there.

    Everyone has been there. And the truth is that many of will find ourselves there again. The truth is that major life changes and milestones can create dramatic shifts. And there’s nothing wrong with coming back to this question again and asking yourself: Am I living an authentic life?

    I share a personal story of taking a job managing the business side of a construction company. The office was very close to my home, I had some flexibility with my hours, and it paid well.

    However, over time I found that I was overly stressed, depressed, and I had gained weight. A year and a half after I realized something needed to change and I pleaded to work from home. I quickly realized that the problem wasn’t the office, the work environment, or the people I’d been working with. The problem was within me. I had been hiding behind a paycheck and living small.

    I found that I needed to take responsibility for playing small. I wasn’t being my playful, joyful, and courageous self. I needed to start playing big. For me, “playing big” means living my life on purpose and using my gifts to inspire others and making the world an even better place to live.

    Authenticity doesn’t mean you have to make a dramatic change overnight. In fact, here is my three-step process to living more authentically.

    Acknowledge where you are being inauthentic Get clear on what you really want Start working towards your authentic goals

    My work toward living more authenticity lead me to get my life coaching certification, creating a brand, and building my website. As I started working with more clients it became obvious that this is exactly what I needed to be doing.

    And wouldn't you know it… not too long after I began taking these steps towards my new vision my boss came to me and said that they too had a new vision for their company. My position was getting overhauled and would require me to work longer hours and in the office. By this point I was confident in my growing Coaching business and when he gave me an ultimatum I was able to walk away from that job and toward a life I love.

    I have created a new meditation posted here to help propel you to an authentic life and inspired action. Everything else in your life—those things that are not authentically you—will start falling away. The meditation is absolutely free. And it absolutely works!

  • This is this farewell episode of You’re So Bohemian podcast, and I’m glad to go out with a bang. This interview with Amy Vasterling is so, so, so good!

    Amy Vasterling is an intuitive reader who teaches people how to trust themselves so they can shine brighter. She is a teacher, public speaker, and challenger of the status quo.

    Amy was the youngest of five children and her parents greatly influenced her path as an intuitive. She eventually realized that her mother was a narcissist who had a difficult time letting her children in and letting go. As a clairvoyant, she had experiences in her teens where she could see a spot in her mom’s solar plexus that would let go at times where her mom was challenged enough to let go of her story.

    She has been a clairvoyant--a clear seer who is able to see beyond the physical realm--since she was in the crib. All of intuition is about senses, so some people also experience clairaudience, clairsentience, clairscent, clairagency, clairgustance, and clairempathy and Amy is able to access all of these and notes that these intuitions build upon each other. Some might call her a multisensory, but she explains why she prefers to call herself an intuitive.

    Amy meets many of her clients when they are at the mid-point of their seeking journeys when they are looking for ways to self-soothe and come back to themselves. She says that there is a point where seeking stops being soothing and isn’t quite fulfilling their questions.

    Amy says the energies have put the world into a stage of individuation which began in 2013. The term comes from the work of Carl Jung, and Amy notes that we are coming to terms with “I am” and figuring out how to own our “self.” She feels that she’s been on a 34-year journey of awakening herself and found that trusting herself was key to growing as an intuitive. Another key has been getting better and better at asking questions in her readings; therefore, she has come to see her clairvoyance as a skill rather than as a gift.

    She advises those who are looking to hone their intuitive skills to remain curious and meditate. It also helps to read for others in a group of trusted people. She began asking friends to recommend one of their friends creating two steps of separation. Tools such as Oracle cards, a pendulum, and automatic writing can also reinforce knowings.

    When I asked Amy three things she’d like my audience to keep in mind she discusses:

    Inner peace come through a constant state of surrender. Attend to self-empowerment through meditation during these trying times. We must surpass fear to self-express and get to a place of self-fulfillment.

    We also discuss how moving through thresholds of fear lead to self-expression. We are dismantling a lot of structures right now and people returning to a balancing point. In the current energies, there is a big push toward self-expression so we are getting a lot of what Amy calls “the freak show.” The last few turbulent years have not allowed us to turn a blind eye to what is going on in the world, and this has been a catalyst for change. We conclude the episode, and the show, by discussing all of the incredible changes that women around the world have been creating and how these women’s movements align with the energies.

  • Jennifer Colletti is a certified health coach and ayurvedic specialist. Her teachings are from the heart and she follows her passion for healing. After her own fertility journey, she awoke to a new vision--one where women share, learn, and support each other. I was blown away by her authenticity and this is one of my favorite episodes. If you enjoy this discussion with Jennifer, you find more of her on a secret episode all about gut health.

    Jennifer began exploring this area by learning about how to safely guide her clients through yoga because of hormonal changes and looseness in the joints. Her intuition told her that her fertility journey might not be the easiest and she was tested for thyroid issues.

    She started hearing terms like “advanced maternal age” since she was over 35 and “geriatric pregnancy” which applies to women over 40. Further testing revealed she also had endometriosis and her husband had lower numbers for morphology and motility. She also did find out that she was dealing with a hypothyroid condition. She remembers feeling like she was on an emotional freight train and dealing with emotional, financial, and spiritual issues.

    Jennifer discusses how holistic medicine and Western medicine take different approaches to medical issues. Each has a different set of tools in their toolboxes.

    Soon she was overwhelmed with procedures, shorts, and ultrasounds. One of her nurses gave her some simple--but monumental advice--”just take it one step at a time.” She and her husband were able to connect to friends who had successfully conceived through IVF. They also made a pact to look at each other square in the eye and ask “Do you have any more questions” at the end of the appointment before any medical professional left the room.

    After implantation, there was a two-week wait before the pregnancy test. After 48 hour bedrest she felt like she was tip-toeing around, but today she tells her clients to do things that nourish themselves 110% like getting a massage or spending time with really great friends.

    One month after a positive pregnancy test, a nurse was unable to find a heartbeat. After a very difficult stretch, they went back for a second attempt with a new protocol. They were cautiously optimistic, but did achieve a pregnancy and found out they were expecting twins. A few months in they lost of one of the twins and remained under heavy monitoring for the duration of the pregnancy. She did give birth to a happy, healthy boy who is now eleven years old. Jennifer discusses the importance of reassurance and trying your best to remain in a positive state, but she acknowledges her nervous system did not calm down until he was “earth side.”

    To this day, she remembers the exact moment she was sitting in a car with her husband stopped at a corner with her husband when she realized what she wanted to pursue ways to share her gifts with others going through fertility journey. She knew they were not the only couple going through this, but she often felt that way. She wanted to share the tools, emotional support, and community with other women.

    Jennifer discusses the role that autoimmune disorders play in miscarriage. Additionally, nutrition and supplementation can really improve fertility. Finally, she advises women to surrender since we can not manage our way through this journey with “type-A” strategies. We have to take the effort and listen to our bodies. She shares a horse-riding visualization she likes to use during meditation since holding the reins too tightly can bring the horse to an abrupt stop.

    Jennifer teaches a drop-in class that is part support group and part restorative yoga. Additionally, she has a monthly class on restorative yoga and essential oils.

  • “Something very beautiful happens to people when their world has fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point when our knees hit the floor.” Marianne Williamson

    My knees have hit the floor several times over the past year, and I’ve had a major realization. On a recent Sunday I afternoon, I revamped my entire coaching business, and I’ve made it my mission to support other brilliant women to prepare for love. There will be more information coming about my group coaching designed to help you attract your soul partner.

    My guest this week is Ivy Kaminsky of Findyourpower.org. I’ve gotten to know Ivy over the past few years and I’m so excited to share her with my audience.

    Ivy took a graduate program in development studies in Africa after working for a corporate event planning company. She likes to describe her former job as “babysitting adults in cool places.” She eventually found herself aligning with several aspects of the job including the travel and gluttonous nature of the scene. After Ivy’s mom was diagnosed with cancer--she passed only two weeks later--she found her life and identity were incredibly shaken.

    Ivy found her way to non-profit work and South Africa. She did her thesis project in a domestic abuse shelter in the Cape Flats, an apartheid relocation area in Cape Town. It was here that she had experiences that “sewed the seeds” for Find Your Power including a women’s empowerment tour that allowed her to shadow a young woman in order to pay her Lobola, or bride price, to her parents.

    She turned down a promotion in higher education and took a Massive Open Online course in Social Entrepreneurship. She organized a team of fifty people of around the idea of women’s empowerment and the course drove her to write a business plan.

    Ivy learned some valuable lessons about success and failure. She says crowdfunding takes an immense amount of time. She also says crowdfunding is difficult without a lot of media attention or a drive to ask people for money.

    Another key takeaway from our discussion is her emphasis on needs-based assessments as the foundation of her work before creating an app or resource library.

    Ivy’s largest event of the year Poetry Jam is coming up at Shindig in Minneapolis on Give to the Max Day. You can also find out more on Find Your Power’s Facebook Page.

  • This is the first installment of my new monthly series called Monthly Rituals, I know original. I want this to be a way to share the tools and modalities that I use, and I am planning to align these rituals with the energy of the month.

    This episode will release the week of my mom’s birthday which is October 2nd. It will be her first birthday we will be celebrating without her here with us in the physical sense. To remember her, I have invited her brother and sisters and other family members over to plant a tree in my backyard and come together for stories and support.

    This month we are in the midst of Libra energy, the scales of justice. And there is always a need to rebalance ourselves, so this month I am going to share my six secrets to finding balance.

    Flower essences: I’ve been using these for a while because I am very empathic, so I have been using Elm and Walnut. For my grief, I have been using Wild Rose and Star of Bethlehem. Wild Rose is for those times when you feel all of the joy has been sucked out of your life. Star of Bethlehem works to neutralize grief. Below are some links to my favorite brands.
    Cleaning up the diet: In general, I watch my diet very closely, but after the funeral, many friends and relatives brought over comfort food. I found myself eating more sugar, more bread, and more wine than normal. After giving myself a grace period, I shifted to healing my gut. Scientists are finding that the gut plays an incredibly important role in the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
    Soaking up the sun and vitamin D: The sun is a source of energy and healing. Allow yourself to smile and bask in this creative energy. I most enjoy planting my feet in the ground and allowing the earth and the sky to both support me. I just realized that the first three items on this list are healing modalities from the earth! I’m such a Virgo!
    Get vulnerable with friends and family: I’ve noticed a few times over the past couple months how some of my friends have shared on social media, and I’ve been heartened by the support they’ve gotten. I was moved to share my mom’s eulogy online. My husband and I wrote her eulogy and included several pieces of her own writing. At the end, I asked people to let me know if they had read the whole thing, and I was so touched by the people who connected to my mom and got to know her the way I did.
    Acceptance: One of the most important tools during a difficult time is finding ways to finding an appropriate level of self-acceptance. I’ve realized I’ve been really hard on myself for sleeping in often, and I’ve had several recent clients who have been wanting to do away with a Netflix addiction. Instead of beating yourself up, I suggest journaling and other forms of introspection to examine what’s really going on. Breathwork: If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know the power of breathwork to push through blockages, grief, trauma, and wounds. The first time I ever did breathwork I called my husband immediately to tell him all about “the most amazing thing I just did.”

    I have a 30-minute breathwork meditation on releasing grief and trauma, and I have added it the “Secret Episodes” section of my Patreon. These bonus episodes and special content are available to patrons at the five dollars a month level. Here is a link if you are interested in learning more.
