Ali McGregor: Mastering Your Emotional Health & Muting What No Longer Serves You
Aug 27, 202101:02:18Tap to summarizeYou know those moments of regret that still haunt you from your PRE-growth journey? All those drunk hookups, toxic friendships, and cries for love & attention... yeah, those moments. Those are all thanks to EMOTIONAL ILLITERACY, aka the lack of control over our emotions and our inability to healthfully cope. On the other side of the regrets, missteps, and "WTF" moments is EMOTIONAL HEALTH. And today's guest Ali McGregor is joining us to share how she found her way back to peace, self-love, and resilience after a long stint of illiteracy, unworthiness, and unmet expectations. ALI'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS: One of my proudest moments was finally turning inwards and truly loving my body, no longer being so nasty and negative towards it. Being able to catch myself now and having that awareness has been like letting go of 100 pounds of dead weight like I'm coming back to me. Along the way, I found out a lot of what I DON'T like. It's like finding a needle in the haystack... You just have to start somewhere and figure it out along the way. But if you sit around and wait for the moment, it's just never right. You can be CREATIVE. You don't have to be stuck in these cookie-cutter positions that everyone has already done. You might not know what you want to do today because that job might not be created. So go design & create it yourself! Pursue anything RELENTLESSLY and just go for it. And know that it's not a failure if something doesn't go right. It was just a learning lesson along the way.

Emma Musto: Quarter Life Crisis or Eat Pray Love Moment?
Aug 19, 202101:04:26Tap to summarizeIn the first episode of this new chapter of The SheFactor Podcast, 26-year-old Emma Musto shares her real-life 20's version of Eat Pray Love (minus the divorce and Julia Roberts). In fact, it just might be better than the classic book & movie we all love… Needless to say, Emma was never destined for a “traditional” life, starting from the time she and her single mom lived 50/50 between Romania and Miami. It took a LOT of sudden change, wrong directions, and doing what she felt like she “should” before finally realizing that society’s “norm” just wasn’t her style. Today, her style looks more like living “VanLife” with her husband from South Africa, who she manifested and met in the same night while in Bali for a yoga retreat and proceeded to travel the world with for the entire next year. You can’t make this stuff up. EMMA'S TWENTIES THOUGHTS: You have to do the hard things that weren’t meant for you to discover the things that WERE meant for you, even if you have to change course a million times over. All of the uncomfortable moments and complete meltdowns will ultimately end up pointing you in the right direction. What feels like a “quarter-life crisis” is really just your intuition guiding you towards what FEELS right, rather than what you THINK needs to happen. We may think we’re chasing happiness but what we really want is freedom. Freedom to be who we want to be and live life on our own terms. Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Jul 30, 202101:01:41Tap to summarizeOur twenties are so much about unlearning everything we’ve been spoon-fed up to this point so we can return to the core of who we really are. As we grow up and start to do the inner work, we can unlearn all of the stories and beliefs conditioned to protect us over the years and tap into those traits and gifts still within us -- our natural-born state of love, enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity, compassion -- to enhance our quality of life, well-being, and happiness as an adult! By healing, the positive traits of our inner child have room to shine. We unlock our true gifts, our inner curiosity, and our limitless capacity to love, the inner compass of who we are and always have been. We've had her in us all along, and she'll always be there for us to come back to. So how do we reconnect and awaken that light within us? And how do we keep that light shining BRIGHT through the anticipated roller coaster of adulthood? In today's episode, Tori talks about: The secret to self-acceptance Traveling back to your childhood in order to reveal your most authentic self The massive shift that happens when you're doing the inner work Calling on your inner child to see your life's path & purpose Journal prompts, activities, and a guided meditation Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Transcribe →The Ugly Side of Self-Growth & Knowing When You Need To Shift
Jul 22, 202100:54:00Tap to summarizeThe truth about self-growth is that it's not always pretty. In fact, it can be raw, emotional, hard, and exhausting. And sometimes you get so caught up in who you're becoming that you forget who you are. This week, Tori talks about the difference between being vulnerable with others and really being vulnerable with yourself. In this journey of self-discovery and evolution, we all have dark moments. We are all moving through something behind the Instagram highlight reel, the habitual "I'm good" or "I'm fine" response to "How are you?", the unanswered text messages, DM's, and phone calls. Behind all of those things, we're deeply feeling and transforming. But how do you make sure that through that transformation, you don't completely lose touch with what makes you, YOU? In today's episode, Tori talks about: Reflections on her self-growth journey since last December A very vulnerable moment she never expected to share The #1 sign that something in your life needs to shift How to stay true to yourself through massive transformation Being vulnerable with others vs. being vulnerable with YOURSELF STAY TUNED FOR PART 2, COMING SOON!

Carrie Creed: You Grow Through What You Go Through
Jul 3, 202100:59:41Tap to summarizeIn our twenties, it's easy for us to get caught up in what's holding us back from the life we're dreaming of. Dwelling on the latest office drama, being too hard on ourselves for not crossing everything off our to-do list, or even just feeling unmotivated by the season of life we're in. But for today's guest, the little inconveniences of her twenties were the least of her worries as she contemplated whether or not she'd be able to ever live a normal life again. In today's episode, Carrie shares personal details regarding the challenges she’s faced in her life and how she overcame unsurmountable odds through the help of her positive mindset. By connecting to daily rituals, gratitude, and strong boundaries, she was able to persevere through hospital bedrest for over 130 days, almost having her leg amputated, nearly dying during childbirth, and later being diagnosed with PTSD. She's here to show you how to incorporate these strategies to successfully use them in your own life so you too can feel in control and maintain a positive mindset when faced with any kind of challenge. In today's episode, we talk about: Spending her 20's in and out of a hospital bed How perseverance and positive mindset saved her life Staying positive in our darkest moments Getting grounded in gratitude and daily routine Not falling victim to what you can't control Not comparing our stories to other people's Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!

Jenna Reiss: Following Your Heart & Breathing Into Being You
Jun 23, 202100:57:10Tap to summarize"Follow your heart." We've heard it over and over again since we were kids, but what does it really mean? In traditional terms, the word courage comes from Latin and it means "acting with your heart." So, following your heart could mean having the courage to do what you think is right. But how the heck do you know what's right when your heart is telling you one thing, your head is telling you another, and everyone around you is telling you even MORE?! Just breathe. Easier said than done in this busy busy world we live in, right? Lucky for you, today's guest is an expert in just that... breathing! Jenna Reiss is a healer, writer, and Breathwork Meditation Coach focused on helping you connect to your innate wisdom and intuition, or what Jenna refers to as your Wild Heart.

Rocío "Luz" Cadena: You Are a Human BEING, Not a Human DOING
Jun 4, 202101:17:43Tap to summarizeWondering where we've been for the last month? Host Tori Ganahl is back and ready to give you a glimpse into the ups and downs of her life during the last several months. Over the next few weeks, Tori's laying it all out on the table as she brings on guests (old and new) to dive deeper into the struggles she's been facing. During this week's episode, we're throwing it back all the way to November where it all began featuring an interview with Rocío "Luz" Cadena, the founder of Life of Leisure, all about burnout. Luz's fascination with leisure started at a young age, growing up in a small Mexican village where she spent most of her time being, imagining, thinking, and daydreaming (rather than doing, producing, or worrying about the future). After living a glorious "millennial retirement" studying abroad and unemployed for several months stateside, Luz decided to share her passion for holistic living with others through her now digital global platform, providing creative, overwhelmed women transcend the toxic ethos of busyness, burnout and workism through community, virtual + in-person events and coaching services. In this episode, we talk about… What "leisure" really means The toxic culture of busyness that leads to massive burnout How to identify the early signs of burnout (before it's too late) The importance of a holistic lifestyle and self-discovery Incorporating more playfulness, joy, and FUN into our daily lives Find your girl gang at theshefactor.com!
