Author and Speaker Jennifer Miracle-Best joins Dr. Emma Lockwood to talk about manifesting, and how it relates to all of us as we finally escape 2020 and begin 2021.

We all vibrate at different frequencies, and having self-awareness is incredibly important as our thoughts and feelings manifest themselves.

Gratitude is a conscious idea. In our COVID-19 world, it can be hard to come by, but it can be incredibly powerful.

Dr. Emma and Jennifer also chat about vision boards - and why this might be a great time to put one together.

Finally, Jennifer takes us through her career journey and her work with the LGBTQ+ community.

Desiree Winans rejoins Dr. Emma Lockwood in this episode to talk about adrenal fatigue.  The adrenal glands, just above the kidneys, often kick into overdrive during long periods of stress.  And 2020 has been one long period of stress for so many.

Desiree shares some recommendations, including Rhodiola, CBD, Ashwagandha, licorice root, and bee pollen.  Some of these actually correspond to your blood type.

Emma and Desiree also cover the importance of sleep - how much and when you get it.  Everything in the body starts with sleep. 

Finally, winter may not be the time to try a diet or cleanse - Desiree explains why.

We all know how difficult 2020 has been.  And in the beginning of the pandemic, self care was a popular topic.  But as the months wore on, many of us got away from it. And the holidays are a time when self care is needed.

Cally says it's important to acknowledge sadness and feelings of loss during COVID, and not just push those feelings to the side.  Therapists and mindfulness can be great tools. 

Are you working from home?  Create separation between home space and work space - both physical difference, and maybe even showering and/or changing clothes when transitioning from one to other.

Don't be afraid of holiday weight gain.  Listen to your body at this time and don't be afraid to give it what it needs.  That includes a little bit of grace.

Empaths who are taking care of people at this time may also experience weight gain as the body reacts to its environment.

Cally talks about not body positivity, but body neutrality.  She explains.
