This episode is fully and completely about my dog, Tigresa. Yes, I am one of those completely obsessed dog moms! Hey, I own it and it is what it is. She came into my life very unexpectedly and completely turned my life upside down. She healed parts of me I didn't think could be healed and she even made me quit my business. Not kidding. There was an incident that shook me to my core - I was very close to quitting my business and nursing for good. It has been wild ride with this wild child, with many laughs, tears and judgement. If you don't know what I mean by this, check out my instagram to catch my dogs epic glares and utter disapproval of anything and everyone. Follow along her adventures (and mine) HERE.

Real talk: my first business TANKED and I messed it up big time. Unless you were following me back in 2016, you wouldn't know about this.

I share with you the secret behind running a successful business and what you can incorporate starting today regardless of the scale of your business.


Warning - my first business will make you roll your eyes for sure. Can you guess what it was??

Episode 67: SURPRISE! I GOT MARRIED! The Wedding - Part 1

Episode 67: SURPRISE! I GOT MARRIED! The Wedding - Part 1

Yes, you read it correctly. I got married! No, it is not a shotgun wedding, it was truly a "love at first sight... when you know, you know" kinda deal! Big shout out to Hinge and the Universe for making it happen.


Now let me spill all the details, drama and divine intervention behind the engagement and wedding that I planned in a few days. So a lot went down in my personal life before the wedding, hence this will actually be a 3-part series. Sorry, not sorry. Y'all want the scoop, you got it. It was an adventure in the BTS of my life.


Part 1 discusses the craziness the month before the nuptials as the Universe tested both of us with a few (actually, MANY) plot twists and bumps in the road. I get super real with y'all with how I kept my cool with all the drama and all the times I did not. I purposely chose to do a tiny wedding that was quick to ensure there was less politics and drama, yet some still arose.


In this podcast we discuss:

  • a quick summary of our dating timeline (check out Episode 59 for the "How we met" story)
  • when he initially asked me to marry him and how I responded
  • why did we choose to have a wedding so quickly
  • how the people in our life responded
  • what our initial plans were for the wedding and how they "evolved"
  • how the date was chosen
  • the wedding day plan + venue
  • all the plot twists, WTF moments and obstacles we managed the month before the wedding
  • our struggles as a couple navigating the planning and details (plus handling our own triggers and feels)

-how her body responded to the stressors and struggles

-why it is essential to regulate your nervous system and process trauma in the moment

Episode 63: Having the courage to quit - From being a Naturopath to become a coach - Interview with Emily Elliot

Episode 63: Having the courage to quit - From being a Naturopath to become a coach - Interview with Emily Elliot

Do you have the courage to quit? To walk away from a good life knowing something is missing? Even if it doesn't make sense to everyone else?


Let's dive into that! In this episode, Timea interviews Emily Elliot, Emily is the founder of the Magnetic Mindset Coaching Method, a former Naturopathic Doctor, and a forever student of life. After severe burnout from schooling and the corporate world, Emily set out to find help with her mindset and to transcend a lot of the blocks that were preventing her from thriving in life. She then became certified in Neurolinguistic Programming, EFT, Coaching, and Hypnosis. It is through this training and her unique life path that she learned how to build a successful and aligned business without sacrificing health and happiness. She now offers 1:1 life coaching for heart centered women, leads group coaching called 'LEAP' (with a fusion focus on mindset and marketing) as well as co-leads The Mastermind with her amazing biz partner, Kelsey Reidl. After putting these changes to work, she feels the most calm, peaceful and ‘herself’ that she has in decades.


In this episode, we discuss:

-Her path to becoming and quitting naturopathic medicine

-What was the hardest thing about leaving

-How she transitioned from being an naturopathic doctor to being a coach

-What support (or lack there of) she received from her partner, family and friends

-Suggestions for women wanting to transition to entrepreneurship

-What she wishes she did differently or what she wished she knew before the transition

-How she landed an opportunity to do a TedX Talk

-How she balances being a parent, entrepreneur and making time for everything in life

-How to release the "shoulds" and need for other people's approval

-How to overcome fear
