She’s a long-time writer, but a new publisher. I loved her article, Healing is Valuable Work and that’s the very topic we dive into in this episode. We chat about how she restructured her life after burn out, how we can come to be more generous with our definition of “work,” and the cultural beliefs we have to undo in order to see the true value of taking care of ourselves.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 16 and told she would never have children. She made small tweaks to her health whilst she was training as an acupuncturist and having babies was easy for her. She’s passionate about helping other women get pregnant just as easily. We talk about what acupuncture is and how it works, the power of knowing our cycles, the myths that are perpetuated around fat and fertility, and a whole lot of other goodness.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She writes a popular newsletter about about personal development, behavior change, and leadership.

Sarah and I had a conversation that left me absolutely buzzing. We share some real talk about pregnancy and early motherhood. We also chat about the need for multiple ways of showing up for work and life - rather than pushing all of the time, the need to be more intentional and precise with our language and commitments, and grieving even positive life changes.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

Amanda is the creator and host of the monthly show Dead Darlings, in which artists present work they’ve had to cut or abandon, at Judson Memorial Church in New York City. She co-created the meme and movement #PussyGrabsBack, is the co-host of the new Cafe.com podcast Girl Friday, and is a regular at comedy and storytelling events throughout NYC. Amanda and I do a fair bit of ranting about American politics in this episode but we also talk about what she’s learned about the creative process from hosting Dead Darlings, how we can take tangible action towards political change, and turning off the news as an act of self-care.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She personally loves bringing the hand-made and hand-lettered into the digital environment. From hand-lettering on websites, to torn paper and shadows, she believes that bringing more of what we love in our tangible lives to our online brands helps us connect with our audience in a deeper, more meaningful way. Kelsey and I talked about her journey to being diagnosed with endometriosis, how it changed her life, managing her life with chronic pain, and how she sustainably built up her business over 5 years before quitting her day job.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

I got in with one that was great...but I had an attack when I was out of pain meds this one time and had to see another one, and she thought I was just trying to get drugs, and she was emotionless and made me feel terrible. Having someone on your side early is good!</em></p><p><em>3: Start looking into your diet! This might sound weird, but after doing a lot of research and testing out with this over the past couple years, I truly believe that we can start to heal our hormones through the foods we eat. Here are two podcast episodes that CHANGED MY LIFE:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://jesslively.com/the-lively-show-talking-plant-based-eating-with-jessica-murnane/">http://jesslively.com/the-lively-show-talking-plant-based-eating-with-jessica-murnane/</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="http://jesslively.com/alisavitti/">http://jesslively.com/alisavitti/</a>&nbsp;please especially listen to the second one...</em></p><p><em>4: along with that second episode, I read the woman code by Alisa Vitti, and eventually took her online program (flo protocol) to help me start eating with my hormones in mind. While it has been hard for me to do EVERYTHING in the program, it's nice to feel like you have some control over the situation...endo can really make you feel helpless and out of control in so many ways.</em></p><p><em>5: if you feel like the pain is getting in the way of doing your normal life, do look into getting it out. I went through the cleveland clinic (being here in Cleveland) and was lucky to have the top doctor do the surgery on me. His name is Tomasso Falcone, and he is literally the best in the world. I had to wait a couple months, but I have been 100% pain free since April, and it's been amazing!!! Also, know that there is no way to PROOVE that you have endo until they go in. When they go in, they will see if it's there, and then take out all the lesions. PLEASE make sure whoever you're going through does excision and not ablation. Excision is where they cut it out, and ablation is where they laser it out. I've heard horror stories online from people who did ablation, so I just wanted to let you know that in general.</em></p><p><em>6: I joined a lot of endo support facebook groups. These are a place where you can go on, and get emotional support and help from others going through similar things. Just knowing people were there who understood was so helpful for me. I wrote on one the day before my surgery, and they were all so helpful on emotionally calming me down.</em></p>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>The Girl Gang Conversations</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Kelsey and I talked about her journey to being diagnosed with endometriosis, how it changed her life, managing her life with chronic pain, and how she sustainably built up her business over 5 years before quitting her day job.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Kelsey Cronkhite is the Founder and Creative Director at Pinegate Road — a brand strategy agency that specializes in helping creative businesses find their foundation, and build that out beautifully in all that they do.

Since its inception in 2009, she has trained hundreds of Qoya teachers, taught thousands of Qoya movement classes, and led dozens of retreats in the most sacred places on earth with one intention in mind: to remember, and to help others do the same. Her work has been featured in outlets like New York Magazine, Oprah.com, The Telegraph, and Psychology Today. Qoya has come up on the podcast many times and it’s had a profound impact on my life, so I’m really excited to share this conversation with you. We talked about learning to trust our bodies, healing from heartache, balancing our masculine and feminine energies, and what you can expect in a Qoya class.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She’s spent 13+ years teaching leaders to listen to themselves and complete seemingly impossible projects—we’re talking major brand overhauls, six-figure product launches, full-fledged manuscripts. She serves up straight-from-the-hip advice in online magazines and columns all over the ‘net. In a past life, she was an idiot-savant microsurgery tech, worked for the Olympic Games organizing committee, and was personally approached by the FBI with a recruitment invitation—for classified reasons – on two separate occasions. As you can tell, Dyana has such an interesting life story and we had a fantastic conversation about her journey but also about her zone of genius: decision making. We riffed on why decision making is so hard, the Super Conditions game she’s created to make it easier, and why some decision making systems miss the mark.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She has a PhD in Health Behavior with a doctoral concentration in human sexuality from Indiana University (IU), and a master’s degree (also from IU) in Counseling, with a clinical internship at the Kinsey Institute Sexual Health Clinic. She has been a sex educator for over twenty years. Come As You Are absolutely changed my life and my relationship to my sexuality; it’s definitely a must-read. Emily and I talked about so much including the big myths that are damaging so many women’s relationships to their sexuality, why everyone’s sexuality is actually totally normal (yes, even yours) and the thing that really bugged her about 50 Shades of Grey.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

News, The Doctors, and more; and the author of two books: “The Recipe For Radiance: Discover Beauty’s Best-Kept Secrets In Your Kitchen” and “Radiant Bride: The Beauty, Diet, Fitness, And Fashion Plan For Your Big Day.”   I was fascinated to talk with Alexis about the importance of natural beauty, the products she’s loving, the intersection of feminism and beauty, and what her journey to self-love has looked like so far. She’s not afraid to go deep and talk about the big issues!]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She helps busy bosses fuel their hustle by honoring their health and their bodies, and helping them heal their digestion. She started following this path after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease - an autoimmune disease of the gut - over 10 years ago and using natural healing therapies to heal her own digestion and become her healthiest self ever. We talked about her journey of healing from Crohn’s, tapping into our intuition, the fact that foods aren’t the enemy but not every food is for every person, and how the elements are connected to our body and can help us live in more harmonious ways.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She helps busy bosses fuel their hustle by honoring their health and their bodies, and helping them heal their digestion. She started following this path after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease - an autoimmune disease of the gut - over 10 years ago and using natural healing therapies to heal her own digestion and become her healthiest self ever. We talked about her journey of healing from Crohn’s, tapping into our intuition, the fact that foods aren’t the enemy but not every food is for every person, and how the elements are connected to our body and can help us live in more harmonious ways.</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:53:43</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/1470595161613-QFBDT5YCDM8UW86SH90X/newitunesart.jpg?format=1500w"/><enclosure length="54420293" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/57ed0fc8be6594808a48d8e9/1475153986547/TGGC+%2355_+Understanding+the+five+elements+for+greater+health+and+healing+with+Amy+Kuretsky.mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="54420293" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/57ed0fc8be6594808a48d8e9/1475153986547/TGGC+%2355_+Understanding+the+five+elements+for+greater+health+and+healing+with+Amy+Kuretsky.mp3"/><dc:creator>sarah.h.lambert@gmail.com (Sarah Starrs)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>self,help,personal,development,self,love,goals,meditation,spirituality,creativity,routines</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>TGGC #54: From Voice Thief to Voice Freedom with Gail Schock.</title><pubDate>Fri, 23 Sep 2016 05:00:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sarah-starrs.squarespace.com/podcast/54</link><guid isPermaLink="false">55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df:55b8dc5be4b057d3edb8b0cf:57e3835b893fc0b87d92356d</guid><description><![CDATA[Gail Shock aka G Love is a Love Revolutionary, a Quantum Meditation Teacher, Coach, Writer and Energy Magician.

She was one of the first bloggers I started following when I decided to move to London. I love her charming but no-nonsense take on life and her adventures in this city are always exciting to read about. I'm thrilled to say that you can look forward to hearing from her in an upcoming episode of the podcast! When Emma announced that she was publishing a book, I knew it would be just as fun and thought-provoking as everything else she does. In Ctrl Alt Delete Emma chronicles how she grew up, and ultimately built a career, online - complete with cybersex, catfishing, and many an MSN convo. The book is fun and lighthearted in places, but also deep and philosophical in others as she grapples with such topics as bullying and feminism. There's a whole lot of nostalgia too, for all of us who fumbled our way through growing up in those early days of the Internet. In this episode we talk about the power of self-awareness for designing a life you love, setting online boundaries, creating a work/life balance that works for you, and finding inspiration.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

In this episode we talk about the power of self-awareness for designing a life you love, setting online boundaries, creating a work/life balance that works for you, and finding inspiration.</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>01:00:22</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/1470595161613-QFBDT5YCDM8UW86SH90X/newitunesart.jpg?format=1500w"/><enclosure length="60815383" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/57dafbeed482e9af87c07e07/1473969268841/TGGC+%2353_+The+power+of+self-awareness+%26+setting+boundaries+online+with+Emma+Gannon.mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="60815383" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/57dafbeed482e9af87c07e07/1473969268841/TGGC+%2353_+The+power+of+self-awareness+%26+setting+boundaries+online+with+Emma+Gannon.mp3"/><dc:creator>sarah.h.lambert@gmail.com (Sarah Starrs)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>self,help,personal,development,self,love,goals,meditation,spirituality,creativity,routines</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>TGGC #52: Creating abundance by honouring the lunar cycles with Ezzie Spencer.</title><pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2016 20:01:04 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sarah-starrs.squarespace.com/podcast/52</link><guid isPermaLink="false">55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df:55b8dc5be4b057d3edb8b0cf:57d16420e6f2e1da91a24176</guid><description><![CDATA[Ezzie Spencer trained as a lawyer and has a PhD in women’s wellbeing. She cares about, and works to further, women’s emotional, financial and spiritual wellbeing.  As the creator of Lunar Abundance™ – a lunar-inspired self-care practice, Ezzie helps thousands of women around the world cultivate self-worth, confidence and feminine flow in a playful and feminine way.  In this episode you’ll hear Ezzie’s unique perspective on what each phase of the moon can offer us and how tracking the lunar cycle is a really powerful personal development tool.  While magic and ritual can be a beautiful part of any lunar practice, Ezzie is very practical and grounded and there are unique perspectives even for people who have absolutely zero interest in magic or spirituality.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

It’s her mission to help women balance their hormones, regulate their cycle, and create a vibrant, effervescent life that they love. We sat down to talk about her journey, of course, but also how we can reclaim our health and stop looking for answers outside of ourselves. You’ll hear us dive into talking about many of the most common reproductive health issues women struggle with and the insights Bianca has to share about alleviating them. She shares her advise for tapping into the wisdom we can gain from our menstrual cycle and what it can teach us about our bodies and lives. She also answered listener questions about coming off the pill and non-hormonal birth control.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

She is passionate about helping others turn their obstacles into opportunities, change their mindset, smash their goals and achieve a life they never though possible.  We sat down to talk about the mindsets and tools she used to overcome massive obstacles and rebuild her life. We dive deep into her goal setting (& smashing!) process and her beliefs about what it takes to develop resilience.  We had some difficulties with the Skype connection so towards the end of the interview the audio begins to get a bit shaky and we had to edit some portions out, so I apologize for this and hope you still get a lot out of the conversation!]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

Whether through writing, speaking, or creating her work’s cornerstone is the notion that intention trumps expectation and that input matters far more than extraction. The results? Alignment & Presence. (Things the world could use more of). We dove deep into Makenna’s journey - which is absolutely fascinating - as well as what it takes to live an intentional life, the consequences of getting caught up in expectations rather than intentions, and how to set powerful intentions and visions for our lives. This is one of those conversations that left me with goose pimples afterwards and I’m so excited for you to hear it.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

I’m in love with her beautiful book that has the same name as her blog (The Naturalista!), both of which are full of delicious recipes, natural beauty tutorials, and practices for mindful living. In our interview Xochi talks about how she slows down and lives mindfully within the hustle and bustle of city life. We dive into her own journey to wellness and healing and how we can begin experimenting to find the foods and practices that suit our bodies in this season of our lives. She shares many of her own favourite practices and talks really beautifully about bringing mindfulness into our daily lives.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

12379. <p>Xochi Belafour is a blogger and a nutritionist-in-training who combines diet, natural healing, and various methods of spiritual inquiry to guide her readers and clients in cultivating more balance and harmony within and without. I’m in love with her beautiful book that has the same name as her blog (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.thenaturalista.co.uk/">The Naturalista</a>!), both of which are full of delicious recipes, natural beauty tutorials, and practices for mindful living. In our interview Xochi talks about how she slows down and lives mindfully within the hustle and bustle of city life. We dive into her own journey to wellness and healing and how we can begin experimenting to find the foods and practices that suit our bodies in this season of our lives. She shares many of her own favourite practices and talks really beautifully about bringing mindfulness into our daily lives.</p><h2>In this episode we talk about:</h2><ul><li>Xochi's journey from fashion journalist to food truck owner to naturalista</li><li>Her experience with burn out and how her healing journey led her to the practices and modalities she now shares in her own work</li><li>How we can cultivate mindfulness and inner peace within the hustle and bustle of city life by cultivating practices and mindsets that soothe us</li><li>Overcoming the mindset that we need to constantly be "doing" and "striving" and checking off accolades in order to be successful</li><li>Coming back to the body and tapping into its wisdom and how this can "save" us</li><li>The perfectionist mentality we both used to bring to our journalling and how we've overcome that mindset to really dive into the full benefits of this practice</li><li>A peek into Xochi's toolbox and the practices that she uses in her own life</li><li>Taking a truly holistic approach to diet and wellness by experimenting with the foods and practices that will serve you best in this season of your life</li></ul><h2>Links mentioned:</h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="http://amzn.to/2aq3Akz">The Naturalista book</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/sarahstarrs">TGGC on Patreon</a></li></ul><h2>Where to find Xochi</h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.thenaturalista.co.uk/">Website</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.instagram.com/xochibalfour">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="http://www.twitter.com/xochibalfour">Twitter</a></li></ul><p class="text-align-center"><em>Podcast art by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ellamasters.co.uk/">Ella Masters</a>.</em></p>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>The Girl Gang Conversations</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Xochi Belafour is a blogger and a nutritionist-in-training who combines diet, natural healing, and various methods of spiritual inquiry to guide her readers and clients in cultivating more balance and harmony within and without.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Xochi Belafour is a blogger and a nutritionist-in-training who combines diet, natural healing, and various methods of spiritual inquiry to guide her readers and clients in cultivating more balance and harmony within and without.

So while this is actually the 45th episode of the podcast, it kind of feels like episode 1 - which is why, somewhat strangely, this week’s episode is also a special one: it’s with me! I’d heard from quite a few of you that you that you wanted to hear more about my journey and life and how I’d answer the questions that I ask my guests each week. So that’s exactly what I’m offering this week. My amazing friend Ebonie Allard interviewed ME and she did an amazing job; we got really deep and vulnerable and she asked incredibly powerful questions.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>I talk in-depth about my daily routines and rituals, the benefits of my meditation practice, finding magic rather than monotony in our daily rituals, my journey with sexual shame and what I’ve been doing to heal and release that, why I’m making these changes with the podcast, the importance of sisterhood, and so much more. </span><span>We also cover my recent transition away from coaching and what I'm up to now.</span></p><p><span>I have to admit: I have a bit of a vulnerability hangover from this one but I’m also really excited to share it with you.</span></p><h2>In this episode we talk about:</h2><ul><li>an in-depth overview of my daily, weekly, and monthly routines and rituals and how they contribute to my spirituality, health, and overall sense of wellbeing</li><li>my thoughts on making your routines and rituals feel magical, rather than like another to-do list and just going through the motions</li><li>what it's like to get a "download" during meditation and the experience of being "in the flow" that comes from consistent meditation</li><li>my journey of unlocking hidden sexual trauma in my body and what tools, practices, and mindsets are helping me to heal it</li><li>the three practices that have stuck with me the longest and had the biggest impact for me</li><li>why I changed the name of this podcast and how it reflects my changing views on sisterhood and personal development</li><li>how my beliefs about (and experiences of) friendship have changed since moving to another country</li></ul><h2>Links mentioned:</h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.sarahstarrsva.com/">my virtual assistant website</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://amzn.to/2a1LEfQ">Love Your Lady Landscape</a>&nbsp;by Lisa Lister</li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://belindadavidson.com/store/">Belinda Davidson's chakra healing meditation</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://ebonieallard.com/">visit Ebonie online</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/922550294502669/">Girl Gang HQ</a></li></ul><h2>Where to find me:</h2><ul><li>right here, of course!</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/sarahstarrs_">Twitter</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahstarrs_/">Instagram</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/922550294502669/">Facebook</a></li></ul><p class="text-align-center"><em>Podcast art by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ellamasters.co.uk/">Ella Masters</a>.</em></p>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>The Girl Gang Conversations</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In a reversal of roles, Ebonie Allard puts the questions to host Sarah Starrs.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>In a reversal of roles, Ebonie Allard puts the questions to host Sarah Starrs.

12700. <p></p><p>Alright, I know I said I wasn’t going to be back until next week BUT… I’ve got something special &nbsp;to share with you this week: The Best of Punk Rock Personal Development Season 1!</p><p>I can hardly believe that I’ve been sharing this conversations with you for an entire year now.</p><p>The idea for this podcast started as a tiny seed of an idea while sitting at my desk at my old day job.</p><p>I had loved hosting a series called the Inspiration Interviews on my blog but I was craving conversation rather than just sending questions via email that people messaged me back the answers to.</p><p>I wanted to dive deep into people’s journeys and experiences. Into the obstacles they’d faced and how they’d overcome them. Into what was working for them and what wasn’t. Into the nitty gritty of how they’re living with passion and purpose. Into their big dreams and all the messy reality of being human.</p><p>I felt a bit crazy piling another project onto my plate but I also felt really passionate about it and my husband agreed to help with the technical side. Within a week I’d ordered a microphone, downloaded the necessary software and scheduled my first interview.</p><p>Looking back, I’ve learned a lot in the past year. About being an interviewer. But more importantly about the importance of conversation and connection and just being real. My guests have taught and inspired me so much.</p><p>To be clear, I could easily have picked multiple clips from every single episode because I love them all. They are all beautiful and precious to me. But that really wasn’t feasible so here are 12 - based on my feelings, the input of listeners, and download numbers.</p><p>I hope it will inspire you to dive deep into archives and listen to any of the conversations that inspire you...</p><p> </p><h2>Links Mentioned:</h2><ul dir="ltr"><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/superlativelylj/">Laura's Instagram</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://soundcloud.com/meggan-watterson/soul-voice-meditation">Soul Voice Meditation</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://amzn.to/29yQaPI">Autobiography of an Orgasm</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.superconnectors.online/post-solstice/">Influence</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.productiveflourishing.com/free-planners/">Productive Flourishing weekly planner</a></li></ul>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>The Girl Gang Conversations</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>To celebrate our first anniversary, here's a collection of clips featuring the best of the best of season 1.</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>To celebrate our first anniversary, here's a collection of clips featuring the best of the best of season 1.

I'm fascinated by A Course in Miracles as so many of the teachers I admire share its lessons, including Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Gabby Bernstein, and Robert Holden. This year I decided I was going to become a student of the course and for the first 40 days I did, I studied the lessons and worked through the workbook but something just wasn't jiving. I struggled to relate to the tone of voice and for now I've set the text aside. However, the insights Elloa offers in this interview have really opened me back up to studying the course and have given me so many entry points for doing so in a way that works for me. We also dive deep into her personal journey recovering from shame, building a solid sense of self, the power of being vulnerable, and taking radical responsibility for our lives.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

Louise is a coach and actress based in London. We’re going to be talking about her story of how she went from working jobs she didn’t love to gaining clarity on her desires and creating a life that she really loves. But what’s really exciting about this interview is also a mini desire map workshop. Louise is going to tell us all about what desire mapping is, how we can find our core desired feelings, and how to use them to gain clarity in all areas of your life. Louise and I chatted about the core desired feelings we’re both currently working with and the little rituals we’ve used to cultivate them throughout our days. This work has been so transformative for me. By finding your core desired feelings you can stop chasing goals and dreams and pinning your happiness on your future happiness because you can start generating the feelings you want right now.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure class="

This feels like a really special interview because I first interviewed Carly on my old lifestyle blog for my Tattoo Talk series. Carly made my most recent tattoo - an amazing portrait of my cat Henry. We sat down to talk about her journey from being a flight attendant to becoming a tattooist, the link between personal development and tattoos, and what makes a tattoo vegan. Carly has a really incredible story and I’m really excited to share our conversation with you.</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:37:16</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/1469089736776-ERUOTX7JSHY85BR92LMB/itunesart.jpg?format=1500w"/><enclosure length="36264467" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/56aa1c0725981d6886d02e7a/1453989022340/PRPD+%2325_+Changing+careers%2C+the+healing+power+of+tattoos%2C+%26+low+impact+living+with+Carly+Kroll..mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="36264467" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/56aa1c0725981d6886d02e7a/1453989022340/PRPD+%2325_+Changing+careers%2C+the+healing+power+of+tattoos%2C+%26+low+impact+living+with+Carly+Kroll..mp3"/><dc:creator>sarah.h.lambert@gmail.com (Sarah Starrs)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>self,help,personal,development,self,love,goals,meditation,spirituality,creativity,routines</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>TGGC #24: Radical self-love, navigating difficult decisions, &amp; being true to yourself with Gala Darling.</title><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2016 06:00:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sarah-starrs.squarespace.com/podcast/24</link><guid isPermaLink="false">55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df:55b8dc5be4b057d3edb8b0cf:56a0eaab3b0be3bde90e6740</guid><description><![CDATA[Gala Darling is an author, teacher, and speaker who has been teaching radical self love — a selection of powerful techniques and tools which help women transform their lives — for close to a decade.

She shares her process for choosing her next adventure and offers advice for starting a meditation practice, living more authentically, and explains why her MOTORCYCLE has been her biggest spiritual teacher so far.</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:54:39</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/1469091045864-5P360OZNIO906N3L5OA2/itunesart.jpg?format=1500w"/><enclosure length="52466668" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/56288f2be4b0b08f4a3cccf0/1445498758716/PRPD13.mp3"/><media:content isDefault="true" length="52466668" medium="audio" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df/t/56288f2be4b0b08f4a3cccf0/1445498758716/PRPD13.mp3"/><dc:creator>sarah.h.lambert@gmail.com (Sarah Starrs)</dc:creator><itunes:keywords>self,help,personal,development,self,love,goals,meditation,spirituality,creativity,routines</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>TGGC #12: Orgasm, reconnecting with your body, &amp; living from a place of pleasure with Betsy Blankenbaker.</title><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:00:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sarah-starrs.squarespace.com/podcast/12</link><guid isPermaLink="false">55802c4fe4b04f1c999492df:55b8dc5be4b057d3edb8b0cf:5620109fe4b0b8e3de5e7632</guid><description><![CDATA[Betsy Blankenbaker explains what an orgasm is (you might be surprised) and shares what inspired her to spend 5 years researching orgasm and how it helped her to heal from past sexual trauma.

She's the Creative Director of Nicole Harlow Designs, where she creates custom websites and creative branding for creative entrepreneurs. But Nicole and I talk about how, as a Gemini, she has another side of herself, another twin - one who teaches yoga, sacred sexuality, and meditation. It’s this twin that Nicole is really honouring and focusing on nurturing in her new program Your Year of Radical Transformation. We had a really amazing conversation about how her self-care practice changes as she moves around the world, how she’s healing her relationship to money, and so much more. She offers a lot of practical tips and ideas for rituals you can implement in your own life, as well as a guided meditation at the end of the episode.

19800. <p>Today I’m so excited to be sharing a conversation with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicoleharlowdesign.com/">Nicole Harlow</a> that left me absolutely buzzing for days afterwards. There’s so much to dig into in this episode because Nicole is one of those rare people who genuinely walks her talk. Nicole is the Creative Director of Nicole Harlow Designs, where she creates custom websites and creative branding for creative entrepreneurs. But Nicole and I talk about how, as a Gemini, she has another side of herself, another twin - one who teaches yoga, sacred sexuality, and meditation. It’s this twin that Nicole is really honouring and focusing on nurturing in her new program <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youryearofradicaltransformation.com/">Your Year of Radical Transformation</a>. We had a really amazing conversation about how her self-care practice changes as she moves around the world, how she’s healing her relationship to money, and so much more. She offers a lot of practical tips and ideas for rituals you can implement in your own life, as well as a guided meditation at the end of the episode.</p><h2>In this episode we talk about:</h2><ul><li>How Nicole's "Gemini twins" influence the very different types of work that she does</li><li>From living in a van on the west coast of the US to moving to Malta with her partner, how her self-care routines change depending on where she is in the world</li><li>What Nicole does during her weekly "money dates" with herself and how they're changing her relationship to her finances</li><li>What she does every week to stay in touch with her goals and herself</li><li>The routines and rituals that Nicole uses to stay grounded and take care of herself</li><li>How Nicole's thoughts about the zodiac have changed over time and how you can start harness the influences of the planets in your own life</li><li>Why she doesn't like the term "woo woo" (even though she uses it herself sometimes)</li><li>A guided body scan meditation to lead you into a state of relaxation</li></ul><h2>Links mentioned:</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.limetownstories.com/">Limetown podcast</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youryearofradicaltransformation.com">Your Year of Radical Transformation</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youryearofradicaltransformation.com/toolkit/">Free Toolkit</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.productiveflourishing.com/free-planners/">Free Productive Flourishing weekly planner</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.sarahstarrs.com/the-blog/2015/06/17/savvy-spender-using-a-cash-budget-for-fun-frivolity-freedom">How to use a cash budget</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0307952118/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=0307952118&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sarastar0e-21">The Fire Starter Sessions</a> by Danielle LaPorte</li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1582702845/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=1582702845&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sarastar0e-21">Wild Feminine</a> by Tami-Lynn Kent</li><li>Free birth chart <a target="_blank" href="http://www.astro.com/">Astro.com</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0062326031/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=0062326031&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sarastar0e-21">Taking Charge of Your Fertility</a> by Toni Weschler</li></ul><h2>Where to find Nicole:</h2><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="Probably http://www.nicoleharlowdesign.com">Design Website</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/namastemba">Facebook Page</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/708674779187263/">Facebook Group</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/heynicoleharlow">Twitter</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.pinterest.com/nicoleharlow_/">Pinterest</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.katch.me/heynicoleharlow">Periscope Broadcasts</a></li></ul>]]></content:encoded><itunes:author>The Girl Gang Conversations</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Nicole Harlow teaches yoga, sacred seduction, and meditation</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Nicole Harlow is one of those rare people who genuinely walks her talk.
