Join the Monkeys as they spend some time with Psychotherapist, Yoga and Mindfulness Instructor, Cindy Reed.

The Monkeys get introduced to another Amy (amygdala), as Cindy helps them better understand how their brains work, why anxiety isn't something we can just get rid of, and how to use our senses to turn the thermostat down when we need to.

Listen to the end for a special bonus and join the Monkeys as Cindy leads them through a mindfulness exercise that is simple, easy and most importantly, calms the monkey mind!

Welcome to our second episode of 2025 where we chatter about clutter and how it makes us feel. Listen and laugh with us as we talk about how we deal with it.

Each of us falls into a little different category with our clutter clearing efficiency and Amy is clearly the winner! She and Lara turn the coaching tables on Michelle in order to help her get started "bit by bit"!

This is a deep topic it seems and it will certainly spark other conversations going forward!

Join the three monkeys for their first podcast of 2025, where we reveal each of our New Year’s intentions and phrases that we hope will help shape the next 12 months!

We chatter about getting unplugged, being not doing, living life in color, nourishing and flourishing! And what do we think about the Funky AI Nanas and their hair color? Listen and find out!

Laugh with the Three Monkeys as we recap our first full year of podcasting! We chatter about some of our favorite episodes and guests, our plans for the future and of course, topics for 2025!

This was originally our Podcast + Wine episode, but two monkeys showed up sans vino, so only one got tipsy (just kidding, no monkeys were harmed during the recording of this podcast!).

Join us while we crack ourselves up and hopefully share some laughs with you too!

Welcome to our penultimate episode of 2024, focusing on setting intentions!

Michelle, our curious monkey starts us off with a summary of her mentor Lorin Beller's Intention Wheel practice. We discuss setting goals or making resolutions versus creating intentions and how intentions can be touchstones for making decisions throughout the whole year, helping us to meet goals.

Amy reviews her recent inspirational phrases (such as "Simply Relentless" and "Live Fearlessly Motivated") and how they impacted her years, how she's feeling now, and what might be in store next! Lara might actually be able to convince her to start a practice of meditation and yoga!

We chatter about how the last few months of the year can set the tone for your next year's goals and plans, and why mindset is so important!

After this episode, our last 2024 show will be a fun recap (with wine, so who knows what will happen), then we'll be sharing our intentions in the new year, so stay tuned!

Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys!

Join the Three Monkeys as we discuss “Letting Go”, what that means to each of us, and how we deal with the Three Ring Circus that most people deal with in their everyday lives.

For some, letting go is releasing control of things we can’t control. For others it’s not sweating the small stuff.
It could mean allowing past regrets or actions to stay in the past, in others words focus forward! It’s different each we go down many rabbit holes! Enjoy the performance!

Now that we're fully immersed in the holiday season, our thoughts have turned to perfectionism and how it can impact our lives!

While holiday planning and events can certainly bring out the perfection princess in many of us, we also examine how the appearance (many times false) of perfection can affect us. We chatter about Jamie Lee Curtis, Instagram-worthy pics, and the idea of the perfect life, training program, or meal prep. The monkeys examine practice and progress over perfection. We touch on the idea of how always striving to be perfect can lead to setting unhealthy and unachievable goals.

Join us to hear our takes on all this and more. And guess how many times this copy was edited to make it perfect! 🙂

Welcome to November, the unofficial start of the Holiday Season, or wait, is it? Does the season seem to begin earlier every year? Doesn't it feel like we're being reminded about the impending hustle and bustle even before Halloween?

Join the monkeys as we discuss it all in our Holiday Survival episode. We talk about the various pressures we all feel, how we cope, and what we've learned over the years (what is a Saran Wrap ball you say?). And we offer tips and tricks that may even work for you! Set an intention to listen, learn, and have the most chill holiday season ever!
