E195 Align Your Life: The Secret to Happiness with Jennifer Kenney-Smith 24:33

לפני 5 weeks24:33

24:33

Jennifer Kenney-Smith is Certified Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner and a Life coach. She helps women who feel unfulfilled ignite their fire, reconnect to their power & embody their greatness. In this episode: Jennifer explains that alignment is all about listening to your body’s “hell yes” or “hell no.” When we ignore what feels good, stress and misalignment show up as overwhelm, exhaustion, and even physical illness. She talks about how stress literally stays in the body—Ayurveda calls it "Ama," or undigested emotions. When we don’t process stress, it leads to inflammation, which is the root of most diseases. Jennifer shares that true alignment isn’t about pushing or doing more—it’s actually about slowing down, being still, and reconnecting with yourself instead of chasing validation outside of you. She explains that simple practices like taking a walk in nature, journaling, or just looking at yourself in the mirror with kindness can help you reconnect and start creating a happier life. Jennifer shares how sleep is a huge key to alignment. It’s not just about getting hours in, but creating a ritual—eating earlier, turning off screens, and letting your body fully rest and detox overnight. She talks about starting the day with purpose—breathwork, movement, meditation, and even just stepping outside for sunlight can shift your entire energy for the day. She encourages checking in with yourself daily. Ask: “How do I feel?” and “What do I need?”—then actually honor the answer, whether it’s water, movement, or simply a break.

E187 Are You a SLAVE to Your Smartphone? Learn to Take Back Control with MJ Murray Vachon 31:43

31:43

MJ Murray Vachon is an LCSW and business owner with more than 48,000 hours of therapy sessions and 31 years of teaching her Mental Wellness program, Inner Challenge in schools, community groups and Notre Dame Football. In this episode: MJ shares how cell phones can increase stress and anxiety by overloading our brains with too much “feel-good” dopamine, similar to a sugar rush, leaving us feeling drained. MJ explains how overusing phones can mess with our natural ability to enjoy simpler pleasures, like a walk or time with friends, because we’re so used to the constant stimulation. She talks about a client who dramatically improved her mood and sleep just by reducing her phone time — proof that small changes make a big difference! MJ introduces the “ACCT” method for reducing phone use: Awareness, Creating phone-free zones, Curating what we look at, and Taking phones out of the bedroom. MJ recommends setting times when the phone is totally off-limits, like during family dinners or evening wind-downs. She encourages being mindful of what we consume on our phones — asking, “Is this life-giving or life-sucking?” She suggests using a traditional alarm clock so your phone doesn’t tempt you during the night; this can help avoid sleepless scrolling and improve rest. She mentioned going into the science of cell phones on a deeper level on her podcast – you can listen to it here: https://tinyurl.com/MJMVCalm Contacting MJ https://mjmurrayvachon.com/ On Social https://www.facebook.com/mj.murrayvachon https://www.instagram.com/vachonmjmurray/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/m-j-murray-vachon-lcsw-184252289/ Blogpost: https://therelaxationlounge.info/cell-phone-stress-with-mj-murray-vachon/ ***** Lower Your Stress in Minutes with the Relax Now Mobile App Download Relax-Now , the mobile app offering quick, expert-led relaxation practices designed to fit into your busy day.
