In this week's episode of Mind the Gap Stephanie interviews special guest Makenzie to talk about what it means to truly take a leap of faith in the direction of your dreams.
Makenzie shares her journey of working hard to get her "ideal" job in wellness at a hospital to realizing the job was in fact not ideal and was not making her happy! In this heartfelt conversation, Makenzie shares how she took a leap of faith by leaving her job -- in order to align with work that is truly fulfilling and supports the lifestyle she wants. We discussed everything from emotions that arise (fear/guilt) when we go off the "traditional/safe/expected" path to money matters and staying the course. Makenzie is refreshing to listen to! She is a living example of someone dedicated to personal development and serving others by teaching them through her own journey. Makenzie understands the value of commitment, getting support, and enjoying the adventure of life! Makenzie reminds all of us to "pay attention" to the signs when uncovering your "bliss" and reframe "no/rejection" as the universe's way of re-directing you to your highest calling. Why do we resist so much!!! Profound and lighthearted, this discussion will inspire you to get started, keep going, and remind you that you are not alone. Many people have taken leaps faith, and when you surround yourselves with others who have done / are doing what you want to do, you succeed! >>>Watch Here >>>Listen Here To connect with Makenzie, email her: Makenzie.Evangelisto@gmail.com and find her on IG @MainlyMakenzie BIO Makenzie Evangelisto, is founder & owner of Makenzie |W|holistic Health.

In this week's episode of Mind the Gap Stephanie talks about a topic that all of us have encountered in one way or another - depression.
It's real and can affect anyone. In our culture there is still a lot of shame, secrecy, and even fear around depression. With suicide rates on the rise and continued uncertainty in our world it is vital we speak about this topic. In real and honest terms Stephanie shares ways we can bring more awareness to this topic and how it's a very normal thing to feel depressed at one point or another in our life. When depression hits, we may feel powerless, helpless...hopeless. We are scared, confused, embarrassed and feel alone. By addressing how we are feeling, and then accepting it, we regain some power. With this power comes our ability to choose to reach out for help-- which gives us an opportunity to deal with it and move beyond feelings of helplessness. By feeling and dealing, we activate the healing process as we move forward slowly. As we make progress, hope is slowly restored. Let's work together to bring healing to our world. It starts with us. Let's Go! >>>Listen Here In this week's episode of Mind the Gap Stephanie interviews special guest James to talk about what it means to really let go and take a leap of faith when making significant life choices. He ought to know about having faith --- in addition to being an outdoor enthusiast, he is also an Emergency 1st Responder, NCAA Coach, and Professional Rock-Climbing Instructor to name a few...
In this eye-opening conversation James shares about his decision to take the path less traveled - and a leap of faith when he and his wife decided to build a tiny house (300 square feet!) in the mountains to raise their 2 kids. Be sure to watch the video as he gives us a tour! James talks about what it really means to let go and face our fears in order to follow the beat of our own drum. He shares many "gold nuggets" of wisdom that include feeling the fear and doing it anyway. His approach to life is refreshing- he demonstrates what it means to walk in faith and focus on things we can control, rather than things we can't. Perhaps what Stephanie loves most about James is his ability to hold space for others to let go, be themselves, and discover what path works for them. When she met him a few weeks ago he was leading an outdoor adventure for her that put her face to face with a fear of heights + letting go-- when she jumped off a platform 50 feet from the ground in the middle of the woods. The whole time Stephanie was literally shaking with fear and he allowed her to feel the discomfort -- to "stew in the soup" so to speak. James didn't force her to make the jump-- or make her feel bad about her choice if she decided not to. He accepted her fear and even the possibility that she wanted to back out. Stephanie ended up making the jump-- one of the most terrifying experiences of her life. His ability to create safe space and also let her "be" was powerful. It was a reminder that whether we are jumping off a platform, or walking into a room of strangers, we all face fear. Accepting fear is part of life. It's what we do with the fear -- let it stop us -- or use it to move us forward - is what gives life meaning. No matter what you are facing in life - you will want to tune into this inspiring episode! It's rich and enlightening in the best way.

In this weeks episode of Mind the Gap Stephanie reminds us both the energy — and results we desire happen as a result of our ability to let go.
She explains how letting go (Step 8 and the last step in the process of manifestation, episode 58) isn’t about being apathetic or indifferent. Quite the opposite. Letting go is about having faith and belief. It's about consistently working to build this faith and belief. When we follow the steps of manifestation and then let go - we ALLOW the universe to give us what we want OR something BETTER. Reread that. Or something better. When all is said and done, you gotta let go. When we micromanage or control the outcomes, which many of us do by forcing and resisting, we actually close off infinite possibilities that may be even better than what we are asking for. Reread that. Stephanie shares her experience of letting go as she was transitioning from the corporate world to owning her own wellness business. She never would have imagined all the amazing things that have happened as a result of her letting go of specific outcomes. Stephanie reminds us that letting go isn’t easy— yet it’s the only way to experience freedom and truly get what we say we want, OR BETTER. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to experience everything your mind can imagine and your heart can desire. You gotta let go! Let’s go. >>>Listen Here |
