Writing this feels bittersweet. We have been putting out weekly episodes of the Get A Helmet Podcast since February of 2020. Every single one of those episodes -- interviews, meditations, Mindful Minisodes -- are filled with so much juicy wisdom and inspiration.    Today’s podcast episode will be the beginning of a new phase for Get A Helmet. We decided it was time to take some space from the show and allow time for deep integration and creation of so many new things.    THANK YOU to all of you for listening, for sending your messages about how this show has supported you, writing reviews, listening every week and being with me since I started this show in my Grandpa’s spare bedroom with nothing but a microphone and a desire to tell stories and amplify the missions of other women.    THANK YOU to every single incredible human I had the pleasure of interviewing on the show this season. Having these conversations has been so expansive for me and everyone else listening.    So today’s episode is a reflection on Season 2 and the official beginning of this next phase of business. It’s important to normalize space, rest and integration.    We will be taking the next few months to focus on creating your Brand Documentaries, Podcasts,  growing my private membership community, The Circle and offering some very exciting group programs.    STAY TUNED, my loves. I am so grateful for this platform, for your listening ears and open hearts. ---------------   Mentioned in this episode: Live Mindfully Event: Mindfulness Exploration for Beginners with Prezence @5:30pm ET https://www.helloprezence.com/live-mindfully-july-2021 Group Program Application for September 2021 https://forms.gle/pvca6AD4Jjo3h3qy7   ---------------   Discount Codes:  Recess - 15% of all products.

SOLO EPISODE: Season 2 Wrap Up + What's Next for Get A Helmet

Your intuition speaks to you through your body.  That HELL YES feeling of expansion in your belly.  That HELL NO constriction of your throat.    These are sacred messages and sometimes the mind is so loud we can not even hear them. Or maybe you do hear them but are too scared to listen.   During this chat with the magical, @hollysloof we chat all things energy, reiki and the wisdom of the body.  I had a Reiki Reading with Holly a couple of hours before we recorded and honestly you can hear it in my voice.  In this episode I share what that experience was like for me, what channelled messages came through from Holly and so much more.    Here are a few other juicy  topics we hit on: ? Leaning into what your body is trying to tell you and trusting it ? The Reiki Reading I had with Holly that brought me so much clarity  ? What Reiki is and how it can support you in every area of your life ? Quieting your mind to hear what your body is trying to tell you and then actually listening and trusting it  ? How important it is to invest your healing and get support you need    Make sure to go listen to receive a very special discount code for one of Holly’s Reiki Readings.  I just re-listened to the recording of mine the other night and DAMN. So good.   ---------------   Mentioned in this episode: $20 off with the code REIKI20 on hollysloof.com The Circle Full Moon Dance Ritual Happening Friday July 23rd at 6pm EST   Go to this link to become a member of the Circle https://www.getahelmet.co/the-circle  ---------------   Discount Codes:  Recess - 15% of all products.

S2, E43: How Working With Your Energy and Listening to Your Body Will Change Your Life with Holly Sloof

“Stop thinking about it and go feel about it.”    I remember when Victoria Albina (@victoriaalbinawellness) said this to me on a call and damn was she RIGHT.    (Ps. Check out her podcast episode. S2, E33!)   She invited me to stop trying to think through a big decision and to go DANCE about it.    When you do this, you can access your intuition. You can notice where things are living in your body. You can finally hear what your body is trying to tell you.    On this episode of the Get A Helmet Podcast I share a somatic practice for releasing anxiety.   Mindful Minisode: Feeling Into What Your Body is Telling You and Releasing Anxiety with Somatic Movement   We do a live somatic movement practice together on this episode so you can get a taste of this work and its power.    This practice is so powerful for connecting deeper to your body, activating your power and breaking free from anxious thoughts.    ---------------   Mentioned in this episode:   New Somatic Practice - https://free3dayanxietyworkshop.lpages.co/freesomaticpractice/  The GAH Circle Membership -  https://free3dayanxietyworkshop.lpages.co/gahcircle/  The GAH Studio - Podcast Production - https://www.getahelmet.co/studio    ---------------   Discount Codes:  Recess - 15% of all products.

S2, E41: Embodying the Person You’re Becoming, Trust Falls with the Universe and Feminine Leadership with Shoshanna Raven

I have been practicing breathwork almost every single day for a while now. Without it, I can’t see as clearly or focus as sharply. This somatic practice has truly changed my life and helped heal my nervous system. Today on the Get A Helmet Podcast meet Ana Lilia.

S2, E40: How Breathwork + Following Your Intuition Can Change Your Life with Ana Lilia

I remember the moment I got the call to go to film school.  I was happily enrolled at NC State, majoring in Communication. Doing the college thing.  One day, I was walking through the brickyard past the Chick Fil-A and it hit me.  I have always been a storyteller and if I'm going to go through 4 years of schooling, I might as well be doing something that lights me up, right?  Ever since I was 10 years old, I had a camera in my hand. Making “music videos”, fake news broadcasts with my sister as the news anchor (lolllll), short films, filming christmas morning, literally anything I could think of I was shooting it.  Communicating a visual message has always fascinated me. Film is a portal to human connection.  I want to capture every single memory.  I want to steep my being in experience and never forget it.  That day at college, I called my Dad to tell him I wanted to go to SCAD and study film. He said “cool, let's go check it out.”. Cut to: Dad and I sitting in a tea room in Savannah, GA.  Those 4 years at SCAD shaped me. Learning the ins and out of filmmaking invoked a sense of belonging I had not yet felt in my life.  As a filmmaker + storyteller, I feel the power of video in my bones.  Today on the podcast, I chat about “Elevating Your Mission Through Video” as Part 2 of Why Telling Your Story Matters.  I take you behind the scenes of the Brand Documentary process + explain how you can use video to connect deeper to your brand voice, yourself and your people.  So, what’s your story?   ---------------   Mentioned in this episode: In This Body Documentary  The Pleasure Center Brand Documentary    ---------------   Interested in creating a brand documentary?

MINDFUL MINISODE: Why Telling Your Story Matters Part 2: Elevating Your Mission Through Video

For years I was interviewing artists for a small digital magazine in NYC.  I would take the train down from Boston and read up on their work as we sped through the trees.  I loved it so much. The train ride, the buzz of the city but what stuck out the most was learning their stories.  Unearthing the WHY behind their work. And finding so many subtle threads weaving our two stories together. (Pretty wild being a human, isn’t it?) I found myself struggling to keep up with taking notes during these chats, so I started recording the conversations in an effort to be as present as possible.  The Get A Helmet Podcast was born.  The more stories I started hearing the more I felt myself stepping into my power.  Today on the podcast is Part 1 of a series called Why Telling Your Story Matters: Your Voice is Your Power.  When you share your story, use your voice and spread your magic you give someone permission to be exactly who they are.  Your stories, your creative ideas are sacred.  Someone out there is waiting to hear from you.   Mentioned in this episode: Interested in starting a podcast?

MINDFUL MINISODE: Why Telling Your Story Matters Part 1: Your Voice is Your Power

I remember the first time I went to the doctor because of the anxiety I was experiencing.    At the time, I didn’t even know it was anxiety.    All I knew was I felt out of my body. Like I was going to die at times.   I was handed a sample of prescription medication for anxiety at age 19.   I didn’t get asked questions like: -How is life at home? -Do I feel love and support in my life? -Am I sleeping well? -What kinds of foods am I eating? -Do I move my body?    My intuition was calling me to dig deeper.    To get to the WHY behind the anxiety I was experiencing.    I felt a deep-knowing that there was more for me than living my life just “managing” that level of anxiety. (and guess what? There is more for you too.)   Since then, I am so grateful to have found aligned doctors, therapists and coaches.   On today’s Mindful Minisode I share the work I did to get to the ROOT cause of the anxiety I was experiencing every day.    I share what changes I made to stop having multiple panic attacks a day, to stop demonizing my body and to learn to trust.   ---------------   Mentioned in this episode: Self-Love Notes - https://www.getahelmet.co/imin   ---------------   The Circle is a private community of women on their healing journey who are actively stepping out of fear and into their worth.

MINDFUL MINISODE: Overcoming Feelings of Unworthiness

Our guest this week is the powerful + transformational Goddess that is Patrice Washington.  She went from having a 7 figure business to scraping change to 7 having figures again.  The bumps along the road of your journey do not define you. Anything is possible.  With all of the wisdom Patrice has acquired, she is here today to talk about redefining wealth and the deep invitation she received to surrender on her path to not only building wealth but uncovering radical self-love.    Here’s a glimpse of what’s inside:  ?The backwards belief that asking for help is a weakness and shedding it. ?Why healing your childhood trauma is so important. ?How the journey of wealth building isn’t just about money and material possessions. ?Dealing with imposter syndrome. ?How working through her own body image struggles unlocked her limitless potential. ?Coming back to Source and her own intuition as her deepest guide and support.    Your relationship to money carries some energetic weight.  I have personally had to move through my own subconscious beliefs that people with money are greedy or insensitive. When in reality, acquiring monetary wealth allows us all to HELP others and live as our most authentic self.  RUN don’t walk to listen to this powerful episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere else you get your podcasts.   Better Help is offering 10% off your first month using the code"getahelmet" when you go to betterhelp.com/getahelmet.  Head to takearecess.com and enter the code “GETAHELMET” for 15% off beverages, apparel and subscriptions.
