Authentic Living with Karen Westwood

As part of the self-love summer series, I share my beloved Karen Westwood (Mia) with you.  In The The Trifecta of Joy book, I share about the creation of my high counsel, Karen is a cherished soul sister of this group, and her wisdom is a gift I am so grateful to share with you! In this episode we talk – like we do as friends – about where we are in life, navigating change, priorities, parenting, children’s health and wellbeing at any age, and the lessons and gifts along the way.  In the process of life, we share our connection through grief and loss, and wanting to find healing for ourselves and others.  The power of friendship and guidance from one another can help us find our centre, we need one another to hold one another up, encourage, and hold safe space for one another. This journey of life is difficult enough and this conversation is a reminder of having reflective experience in friendship.  We share the way we are led by intuition, trust, and surrender by also trusting the process of life unfolding.  Being who you want to be in the world and trusting the uncertainty of the outcome of our paths, the blooming peony is explored as a metaphor for life because I’ve been obsessing over the process of waiting for the bloom.  Nature teaches us that the journey, environment, support and patience are key in life – and that we must realize that the outcome will come. Recognizing the tiny decisions you make along the way allow you to choose who you want to be in the world. This heart filled, playful, peaceful, and loving conversation is an honour to share with you. May this beautiful conversation be one of inspiration and nourish your heart.   About the Guest:“Soul sister Karen is my spirit sister. She connects into my soul where peace is always found.  Emblazoned on the beam over their dining room table are the words “Peace At Home”.  Karen is home.  She and I have created a magical space where energy is held with a depth of understanding unsaid. She is a creative inspirer, and passionate about the power of relationships between mothers and daughters.  She is beauty defined in mind, body, and spirit because her energy is magical!  This friendship is of a deeply spiritual level. Our non-linear journey of friendship is one of beautiful flow!” -  Tanya Gill, The Trifecta of Joy, HELP yourself in a world of change About the Host: Tanya's mission is to create a legacy of self-love for women that reinforces trust in themselves through our programs, coaching, podcast, and book, The Trifecta of Joy!
