About the show

My video/podcast series, Heart and Hustle--Visionary Healers, Movers, and Shakers, focuses on conversations between me and other luminaries --coaches, dancers, healers, questers, teachers, creative entrepreneurial women--powerful women who are doing amazing things and making positive change in our world. I am the Tribal Hostess, and one of my gifts is to network and share their magic with the world. It is my hope that together we can give you, our listeners, inspiration, hope, insight, delight, and a bit of us! As a Transformational Lifestyle Coach, author, and the innovator of Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance, a global dance company, I guide women on inspirational and exploratory journeys --Movement, Momentum, and Magic! My tools include a combo of a bit of woo with the practical. Ultimately it is about feeling good in your skin and your life. I teach women how to feel great and acknowledge their inner and outer beauty and grace, to live to their full potential by recognizing and achieving their life dreams and business goals with confidence and celebration.

Hips and Bits with Guest LISA NEWTON

What does it mean to truly find your people? In this heartfelt episode of Hips & Bits, I reconnect with the wonderful Lisa Newton from Brisbane, Australia—a Global Caravan dancer who began her journey with me back in 2009 and has continued to grow, evolve, and create beautiful community through dance. Together we talk about: 🌿 Building Tree Temple Dance, a dance community rooted in kindness, connection, and nature 💚 Why dance doesn't have to be about performing—it can simply be about belonging 🌳 How movement can support us through every season of life (including dancing with her 75-year-old mum!) ✨ The healing power of community, creativity, and trusting your own unique path Lisa shares such beautiful wisdom about creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and free to move in ways that nourish both body and soul. If you've ever wondered how dance can become more than choreography—how it can become a way of living, connecting, and giving back—I think you'll really enjoy this conversation. Have you ever found "your people" through dance, creativity, or community? I'd love to hear your story in the comments. ❤️ #HipsAndBits #GlobalCaravanDance #TreeTempleDance #DanceCommunity #WomenSupportingWomen #CreativeWomen #MovementMedicine #DanceJourney #CommunityOverCompetition #NatureInspired #GlobalCaravan

Heart and Hustle #225 with Guest RAMONA KOSSOWAN: Healing Beyond Survival Mode

Have you ever felt like you’ve been doing all the right things... yet still felt exhausted, disconnected, or like something was missing? In this week’s Heart & Hustle, I sit down with the wonderful Ramona Kossowan for a heartfelt conversation about healing from the inside out. We explore what happens when we stop fighting our bodies and begin listening to them. We talk about nervous system healing, stored stress, midlife reinvention, self-trust, and why true transformation isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about creating safety within ourselves. One of my favorite parts of our conversation is this reminder: healing doesn’t have to be another thing to strive for. Sometimes it begins with slowing down, becoming present, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with who we’ve always been beneath the stress and survival. If you’ve been craving a gentler way forward, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation. ✨ Watch the full episode I’d love to know what resonates with you most.

Heart and Hustle #224 with Guest MARTINA TISLJAR

There are conversations that stay with you long after they end… This one with Martina Tisljar is one of them. Martina shares her remarkable journey—from a life-changing spiritual awakening to discovering the power of emotional healing, intuition, and learning to truly trust herself. We talk about why so many of us lose connection with our inner voice, how fear can drown out our intuition, and why silence may be the most powerful practice of all. One of my favorite moments was when Martina said: "The time of the lone wolf is over." I couldn't agree more. We need each other. We need community. We need spaces where women can gather without judgment, encourage one another, and remember who we truly are. This conversation is full of wisdom about healing, self-trust, showing up for yourself every day, and remembering that change doesn't have to happen alone. If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself lately, I think this episode will meet you exactly where you are. ✨ Watch now and I'd love to know... What does "touch the silence" mean to you?

Heart and Hustle #223 with Guest NATASHA RAMLALL

There are moments in life when everything you've known no longer feels like it fits. Those moments can feel unsettling... but they can also become the doorway to something beautiful. In this episode of Heart & Hustle, I had the joy of talking with Natasha Ramlall, an Embodied Integration Coach who helps women navigate those seasons of transition with compassion, presence, and trust. We explored what Natasha calls an identity rupture—those times when life asks us to release old versions of ourselves so we can step into something more authentic. We also shared our love of dance as a way of reconnecting with our bodies, finding joy, and remembering who we truly are beyond expectations and performance. If you've been feeling like you're standing between who you were and who you're becoming, I think you'll find comfort and inspiration in this conversation. 🎧 I'd love for you to listen and let me know what speaks to your heart.

✨ What if your imagination is your greatest superpower?

Heart and Hustle #221 with Guest LILLIAN MOORE

What if healing didn’t have to take years? What if the stories, fears, and old identities you’ve carried for decades could finally soften… with compassion, awareness, movement, and vision? This week on Heart and Hustle, I sat down with the brilliant and deeply grounded Lillian Moore — trauma expert, teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of Mindlight — for a rich and expansive conversation about healing, nervous system work, creativity, vision, and becoming who we’re truly meant to be. And wow… this conversation is full of wisdom. We talked about: ✨ healing trauma with compassion instead of shame ✨ why the body already knows how to metabolize emotions ✨ self-sabotage, resistance, and creative power ✨ the importance of vision when rewriting your life ✨ moving beyond survival mode ✨ “the tiger and the berry” — one of my favorite metaphors from this episode ✨ weaving healing, self-love, and intention into everyday life ✨ and how connection, community, and supportive environments can completely transform us One of my favorite reminders from Lillian was this: “Healing happens faster when you’re healing in a direction.” YES. Not just endlessly trying to fix yourself… but moving toward the life, the joy, the relationships, the creativity, and the future that are calling you forward. This conversation felt deeply nourishing, inspiring, practical, and hopeful. If you’ve been navigating change, healing old wounds, rebuilding your life, or dreaming into a new chapter — this episode is for you.
