Kheyla Anderson: Taking Small Baby Steps Is How We Can Start Realising Our Big Dreams

In today’s episode I'm chatting to Kheyla Anderson, mother, entrepreneur, herbalist and founder of Mother Nature’s Recipes. As a new mum, Kheyla was met with some unexpected hurdles, going through an incredibly difficult time breastfeeding her new baby. And despite having an attentive partner by her side, she was trapped by the feeling of failure in her new role as a mum. Turning to herbal teas and natural remedies, Kheyla not only managed to support herself and her young family throughout her pregnancies, she decided to use her own personal experience and went on to create Mother Nature’s Recipes to ensure that other women do not go through a similar situation feeling alone. In a true bid to support mums in a more personal, multi-dimensional way and allow them to practice the importance of self-care, she’s developed a range of herbal loose leaf teas, specifically designed to support women through the various stages of motherhood. To me Kheyla’s personal journey is a beautiful example of how we can turn our obstacles and challenges into new opportunities to helps others so I can’t be more excited to have her on the show today!

Elena Brower: You Probably Already Know Your Life’s Purpose, You Just Need To Crystallize It

In today’s episode, I'm chatting to Elena Brower, mama, teacher, artist, bestselling author and host of the Practice You Podcast. Elena has taught yoga and meditation since 1999 and she’s an internationally recognised expert, known for her relevant, practical, holistic and creative approach to spirituality. It’s the way she speaks directly to your heart and invites you to explore and cultivate your own relationship with your body, mind and soul that caught my attention over 10 years ago when I started practicing with Elena through her online yoga and meditation classes on glo.com. Then came her highly praised first book, Art of Attention, that has been translated into seven languages, followed by her second book, Practice You, that became a bestseller. And her third book, Being You, was released in early 2021. Recently, Elena has transformed her practical knowledge and business expertise into an incredibly successful program called Essential Mentorship, with a mission to share transformative tools, training and community to support and nourish your personal and professional expansion. Elena’s been featured in Yoga Journal, Yoga International, the New York Times and on several network news channels. She also oversees a global team of teachers as a Double Diamond with the essential oil brand doTERRA, and her spoken word work can be heard on Above & Beyond's Flow State albums.

Lia Valencia Key: Your Predicament Does Not Determine Your Destiny

In today’s episode, I’m talking to the wonderful Lia Valencia Key, a founder and creative director of Valencia Key Jewelry [https://www.valenciakey.com/], a dream lifestyle brand Lia created to inspire and unlock the bravery and light within. Raised in very humble beginnings in Philadelphia, Lia lived in a homeless shelter with her mother, sister, and brother, but even in such dark times her mom always told her, "your predicament does not determine your destiny”. So Lia went on to rise above her challenges, received a Bachelor's Degree in Business, Master’s Degree in Education and became a Global Hair & Makeup Artist. Inspired and driven by her dream to create a jewellery line that symbolises that all things are possible if you believe it, she launched Valencia Key Jewelry on QVC, one of the largest television shopping networks in the World. With the power of believing, Lia went from homelessness to inspiring women in over 100 million homes and her big dreams continue to come true with Valencia Key Jewelry being featured in Oprah Magazine or Lia sharing stage with Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, during her book launch event. Lia reaches back to where she comes from donating and educating women in homeless shelters and is a living example that all things are possible by rooting the power of choosing joy and radiating light.
