My guest for today’s episode is writer, podcast host, and former NFL offensive lineman, Joe Hawley.

Joe shares his insights and a tool to drop into your heart-center to gain awareness and support your nervous system.

What daily habits elevate your Joy Frequency? How can you cultivate authentic joy? The truth is that you have the freedom to choose, the freedom to choose again, and the power to connect with others in a circle of trust. Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk. Today’s guest is Leigh Farrow.
EP55: Ways to Herd Up and Face Your Storm with Tim Douglas
From the earliest signs of civilization, nature is observed and used as analogies to teach life lessons. A popular example is the analogy to the “storms” of life.

I’m your host, Mary Tess Rooney, and I connect with Tim Douglas on our Wise Walk for this guest episode.
EP54: How to Make a Profit Doing What You Love with Susanne Mariga
Investing in a business or project requires a full process with components and aspects that may exceed our original cost expectation.

Today, I connect with Susanne Mariga on our Wise Walk for this guest episode.

When someone enters your life and creates conflict or awkwardness, do you ever wonder if they were placed in your path so you could learn a valuable lesson and expand?

EP51: Why Getting Overlooked Creates Positive Possibilities with Jeffrey Shaw
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of being overlooked? Situations can arise that make people feel invisible or inadequate. Afterwards, it’s possible to feel drained or replay everything that’s wrong when endlessly thinking of that cycle. Have you ever thought being overlooked could be a blessing in disguise? Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk. Today, I talk with Jeffrey Shaw about feeling overlooked, effort and surrender, internal capacity development, and alignment.
EP50: Ways to Commit to What Lights You Up with Emily Adams
Feeling restless is typically a subconscious coping method for mental stress. In those times of mental stress, the mind passes through each moment so focused on the external world that the guidance calling from inside goes unnoticed. Taking inventory of our inner world allows us to recognize a bigger picture, see where we should fill a void, and identify a few unsettled feelings. Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk. I’m your host, Mary Tess Rooney, and I connect with Emily Adams to go on our Wise Walk for this guest episode.
EP49: How to Become a Minimalist from the Inside Out with Dana Knox Wright
Throughout life, unsolicited expectations and identity beliefs influence us. The key is to carefully evaluate if those things are true or worth keeping to prevent clinging onto things that drain us. On this Wise Walk, Mary Tess Rooney and Dana Knox Wright take a moment to slow down and check our reality to honor your choice to stop showing up in ways that don’t serve you and let go. Where in your life do you hold onto fear, and where in your life do you need to release things in order to invite in the experiences that you actually want? Mary Tess and Dana talk about the idea of living minimally internally, honoring transparency, and growing from expansion experiences.
EP48: What Seats Are Calling You with Kristin Kaufman
Today’s episode features Kristin Kaufman. Kristin is a small town, Southern girl from Hot Springs, AR who inspires Alignment (which is the name of her company). Over the course of her career, Kristin spent 30 years in the technology space and led multi-billion dollar units on a global scale in three different publicly traded companies. In this current arc of her life, Kristin light-heartedly identifies as a Recovering Corporate Executive. Now, Kristin passionately offers advice and insight on how to build awareness about alignment through her “Is This Seat Taken?” book trilogy.
