Listen Now

March was our month of Awakening, we talked about healing from the past, knowing nothing is wasted. It is a natural flow to NEW BEGINNINGS. As we process and let go of the past we make room for new and amazing things in our hearts and lives. When you hold on to the last chapter of your life, you are DENYING yourself new beginnings. The next chapter of your life is being written, it is either being written by the cycles of thought that have dictated your past, or it is being written by YOU now, in the present. But you have to DECIDE. You have to decide what you want, break the cycles of the past and begin writing that new chapter the way you want it. Listen in as we share our stories and our vision for Your Essential Stories 2019.

Doterra has inspired the pursuit of abundance in our lives and millions of others across the globe. They have done what countless politicians and broken systems could not do. They have created a global movement that is bringing historical change to healthcare as we know it. They have created a giant Circle of Abundance that is blessing every life it comes into contact with. They have created a culture of cooperation, community, connection and honor and we are proud and honored to be aligned with a vision and purpose that is not contributing to the noise and negativity, but is laser focused on being a life giving solution. Bringing meaningful, lasting change and together helping others live the fullest expression of their lives.

A continuation of what Shelby and I talked about in the previous podcast. In my early morning quiet time this message rose up in my heart and as I am learning this, I wanted to share it with you! Are you CLEAR on what you want for you life? Have you made a CLEAR decision? Have you taken ownership of your mind and life? If you desire to move your life from just wishing for the deepest desire of your heart to seeing it begin unfold in your life you must learn to think in a certain way.

Realizing that nothing is ever wasted in our lives has been one of the biggest shifts in our thinking and has allowed us to be able to look back on our past with gratitude, honoring those experiences and people and learning from them. This understanding has has brought a new found freedom and joy that we are excited to share with you. It opens the door to be able to discover what you really want to create in your life for the future, so that you might live the fullest expression of your life.

This is actually a bonus podcast  taken from our  most popular video in our video-driven Soundbyte Series recorded a few months ago on Facebook. It was inspired by the desire to define what intuitive eating and living means to us and what the real defintion of  nutrition is. In this candid, raw and real discussion Shelby and I discuss our own personal journey's of weight, body image, what we used to think nutrition was, my battle with Anorexia and Bulemia in my early 20's and how we have both discovered freedom and joy!    Can  your thinking affect your health and weight? Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with food? Is it possible to trust your inner guidance system and let the rules go? Listen in and find out.  Check us out on Instgram @ Your Essential Stories We would love to talk to you, email us:  Youressentialstories@gmail.com

Join us for this 2nd episode in our Living From The Inside Out series. In this podcast we discuss Living From the Inside Out and how it applies to eating, weight and vitality. Shelby shares a great quote by Mark Twain that he wrote about Joan of Arc, "Her religion (her spiritual inward journey) made her inwardly content and joyous." It is from this center, this alignment with our Creator/Source/God that we find inner contentment and joy that then shapes our thoughts, which then affects our behavior and the external things of our lives, such as our weight.  In our culture we tend to try to work from the OUTSIDE IN, by trying to change our behavior through outward manipulations that bring short term gain and longterm frustration. We also discuss and share our discoveries of the amazing difference between "vitality" and "weight", with the goal being to eat for vitality and not to manipulate our weight. In fact, the weight will work itself out when we start with the inward journey and then eat for vitality. Shelby shares the definition of weight - which equals the "heaviness" of a person with the aha moment of realizing that our physical weight often mirrors the emotional weight of our life. Truly an inspiring discussion that we hope will bring you your own aha moment  in the writing of your new story.  -Shelby and Katrina/Co Founders of Your Essential Stories "FInd your life's true passion and follow it, follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss. When you have the unmistakeable experience of the AHA - then you will know that you are riding on the mystery." - Joseph Campbell

In this episode you will learn about all the amazing physical and emotional benefits of this oil that is also known as The Oil of Honoring the Body. A great oil to support any healthy lifestyle.

Stories hold the power to connect us and move us to action like nothing else. There is a great power in sharing our stories because it creates a safe place for people to believe in new possibilites for their own stories. As we came together to produce our brand, the vision evolved and expanded to include intuitive living, something that was also constantly coming alive to us in new ways every day, and so we are delighted to invite you along today as we share our adventurous stories with you." Quotes shared today: " Vulnerability is not weakness and that myth is profoundly dangerous. Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. " -Brenee Brown "You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness."
