Episode 134: How Horses Can Help You Heal

w/ Shannon and Chris 


In this episode, Shannon and Chris from Joshua Tree California, owner of Mustang Sanctuary Ranch, talk about how horses help humans heal. Chris shares what he does with the beautiful wild mustang population and how his ranch operates. Although he runs a Mustang rescue ranch, and they predominantly focus on Mustang rescues, but they do have a couple other horses there. He’s just doing as much as he can to make sure that he put his best foot forward in educating and getting awareness out there about what these animals are going through and hoping that we can open our doors to as many as possible. He then shares how horses help us heal, just to kind of give an idea of what the healing magic for horses is, they say a human's heart rate or heart energy emanates, six feet and horse’s is 8 feet. So as soon as you even get anywhere near these horses, they feel you and in turn that energy, the “unseen force” as Chris calls it, calls out to the horse, good or bad. It can be such a calming spiritual force that it relaxes you all the way up until the point where your heart rate starts to come down to match the horse's heart rate. So it's very good for stress reduction and anxiety reduction. It's even bigger when you get on the horse because when you get on the horse they're literally able to imitate your heartbeat and then bring it down.

Episode 133: Evicting the Inner Mean Girl

—w/ Shannon and Lizzy


In this episode, Shannon and Lizzy talk about how we can evict the inner mean girl. Lizzy, affectionately known as the self-love sister, empowers women with the tools that they need to ditch the diets, silence their inner mean girl and confidently step into the body that they love and sustain it. What Lizzy’s been doing over the past five years or so is empowering women with this whole suite of tools to have the body that they love. One of the highlight in this episode is Lizzy talking about the 12 Rebellious acts from her book called Reclaim the Rebel. One of these acts is Just Keep Practicing at Rewriting that Story. Whatever it is that comes up you're not always going to get it perfect. It's going to be a bit more effortful on your first couple of attempts that when you repeat it again and again, and again, it's going to feel easier and that story is going to be more embedded into your subconscious, so that you can move through those moments easier.

Episode 132: Exploring Love, Passion and More with Leola

— Exploring Love, Passion and More with Shannon & Leola


Shannon talks with guest Leola on her work within love, passion, intimacy and more.

Leola is a Sacred Intimacy Mentor & Muse, inspiring others to see an integration of sexuality and spirituality. She guides individuals and couples in discovering how life-force energy moves in the body; and more importantly, how to harness this inner-power for a pleasure-filled life that begins with our most intimate relationships and extends to our livelihood and our worldview.

In her early 20s, Leola discovered tantra and shamanic sexuality as modalities to heal her relationship to her body, process past sexual assault, and create a life she loves. She is now dedicated to guiding others to be turned on by life itself.

In this episode, we have Leola, a sacred intimacy mentor as our guest. Her mission and purpose is to inspire others. To guide individual and couples discovering this creative force that we can use to remember ourselves, to heal ourselves and to connect deeper with divinity. Leola shares how she started by meditating, doing yoga and positive thinking. They also talked about how a lot of people that are in similar situation have this fear to approach this world, thinking how people around them will receive it. Shannon then shares what her supervisor once said, “Change. whatever that looks like it has to happen on your timeline. Not on someone else's.” They also talked about the retreat called Tantra Love Retreat that Leola will facilitate with her friend Justin at the Ranch.
