Meet Patti Moloney! She is co-founder of DimplesCharms.com, a successful custom jewelry company, alongside her husband. For a long time, Patti believed that being sensitive was a liability until she realized that true strength is found in embracing your fragility and softheartedness. Patti employs her master’s degree in Counselling Psychology to help people lean into their subtle strengths, reframe what they believe are weaknesses, and live and lead with heart to build a stronger world. In today’s episode Patti shares: How society pushes the narrative that strength lies in physical power, but believes this idea is outdated and a limited view of the truth.“Butterfly Strong” is the idea that butterflies, with their fragile wings, travel 1000s of kms and overcome obstacles, persevere.

Meet Aisha Saintiche! Aisha is a Certified Health Coach and founder and owner of Me to Moi Health. Me to Moi Health (www.metomoi.com) is a coaching program that seeks to unpack the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual barriers that create barriers to achieving your optimal self. The true foundation of this work is the recognition that self-care is the true conduit to self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-actualization.   In today’s episode Aisha shares: The importance and significance of self-care as the conduit to self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-actualization, by going beyond spa days and massages. We often use self-care as an intervention, rather than a preventative measure. Self-care shows up in how we eat, how we move, how we interact with those we love, our boundaries. Self-care is about thriving, not surviving.She discusses how important it is to put yourself first, and challenges you to change the notion from “Have To” to “Get To”.She pours into you the idea of sisterhood, what it means to be healthy, to see yourself as worthy. Seeing our value, and placing importance on taking care of ourselves gives us permission to step into our purpose and power. The true practice of self-care sets a standard by which we operate, which at a minimum, assures we are always in a place of power as it pertains to our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Owning your authentic power from within allows you to be as successful as you want to be, increases your confidence, allows you to create strong relationships in all areas of your life.  Would you like to connect with Aisha?
