Nate Winterton is a beautiful soul. In this week's episode he takes us into his not too long ago past where he was living a completely different life than he is today. He was born and raised Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), and served a Mormon mission. It was on his mission that he knew he needed to confront the skeletons in his closet, one of which was that he was a closeted gay man. 

His story is heartbreakingly beautiful. Nate takes us into some of the darkest parts of his past in hopes to shine a light on some of the destructive and torturous practices that are still being practiced today: Conversion therapy. 

Nate is a different man today than he was just a few short years ago. He is now fully out and a proud gay member of our society who is fighting to eradicate the dangerous and controversial Conversion Therapy practices that are still happening in some states across the USA, and is an advocate for Suicide Prevention and Awareness month.

Indy is one of my nearest and dearest, and Bronson is my husband. Their friendship turned into a business partnership when they decided to try to sell a T-shirt together and just see how it went. I don't think either of them, or I, knew what would unfold in the following 19 months.

A fashion line was a pipe dream that Indy had even as a child, but she thought it was far out into her future, and to be honest, it wasn't even on Bronson's radar in the beginning, but you'll get to hear exactly how it all started in this week's episode. 

Lonely Ghost was born out of their love of fashion, design, content creation, and a saying that just felt right...

I LOVE YOU SAY IT BACK

Which brings us to the tea....and they're spilling it.

You may have seen it in the news, or maybe not, but if you have--then you'll finally get some answers to the questions you've all been asking in this episode about the now infamous saying.

Katy McLain is a tarot card reader. It's odd that I'm interviewing her because initially, Tarot was the one thing I steered far, far away from until Katy literally ended up in my family's living room one summer Sunday not too long ago.  After listening to only 2 sentences of what she had to say in that same living room, I was hooked.

Katy explains how Tarot is just another tool to help us connect with our highest self, loved ones, or our intuition.  She goes into how you can start right now to listen to your intuition more clearly. 

We go in depth on our chance meeting, my first tarot card reading, and what Katy thinks waking up as a collective actually means for all of us.

In this episode Kelsey so vulnerably opens up and gives us her story. She takes us back to when she was a young, new mother who was struggling with anxiety, and all the new pressures that motherhood naturally brings.

She gives us a play by play on how she motivated and empowered herself to change for the better mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

We get to hear the story of how she became a SWEAT Trainer and ultimately got over her own fears and nerves about being seen and heard by millions. 

This episode is incredibly motivating, moving, and encouraging….it’s like that talk we all need have with ourselves over and over again until it really starts to sink in. 

She says it like it is; exercise isn’t just about aesthetics.

This topic was requested by a few listeners, and, man. It was more difficult than I imagined it would be to wrap my mind around, and then try to convey to you all what key factors really did made an impact for me and my kids in the last 12 years. 

I originally tried to go super broad with this topic, but realized I couldn’t. I had to go specific, and it had to get personal, because I think motherhood is the most intimate, and important relationship I will have throughly my entire lifetime... I’m sure of it. It’s also happens to be the most difficult, because there is simply no hiding yourself in motherhood. Your kids see you. ...so I didn’t know how to talk about motherhood without getting intimate. 

In this episode I break down my top 10 “have-to’s” if you’re ready to go from surviving to thriving in your motherhood.

Chanelle Cozette is a nutritionist specializing in autoimmune issues and functional nutrition, so she really knows her stuff when it comes to gut health.

In this episode we hear Chanelle's personal story when it came to her own gut health and she healed it naturally.

She also goes over fad trends, low FODMAP foods, IBS, hormones, and so much more!

Chanelle got an Associates in Functional Food Chemistry then graduated from the University of Utah in Nutrition. From there, Chanelle worked closely with two naturopathic doctors in simplifying autoimmune disease protocols and helping traditional doctors implement holistic healing into their medical practices.

Over the next few years, she put thousands of people through autoimmune protocols helping them live symptom free of the debilitating mental pain associated with autoimmune diseases as well as the everyday uncomfortable and flat out disgusting side effects of issues such as candida, fibromyalgia and varying thyroid issues.

She has a thriving Instagram and blog where she dishes on everything she eats, to how she stores her food, to the supplements she takes.

This one is informative and fun! If you want to look more into what Channel has to offer you can find her on instagram @channelcozette  and on her website at: https://chanellecozette.com

Cara Loren is a mega blogger turned business owner, and today she lets us in on how this all started out for her.

We go back to her early days when she shot photos behind her and her husbands old apartment shed, and she lets us in on how she felt when things really started taking off for her.

We go in depth on the diagnosis of her son, Hanes, diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes that happened just 6 months ago, and how the family is adapting to their new normal.

One thing is apparent...Cara has always been impeccable with her timing and listens to her gut when she’s feeling the need to shift the focus of her blog and Instagram.

Even when people around her didn’t exactly see her vision, she forged on anyway. She shuts out the naysayers, keeps focused, and continues to share with the world whatever she is most truly into, in the actual moment that it's happening for her, and I think this approach has (obviously!) worked out wonderfully for her.

Matt Brady is a character that I'm likely never going to be able to shake. This podcast was our first encounter, and it has to be one of my most favorite "first time" meetings that I've ever had.

Matt has a zest for life. He just says yeah to it all...so much so, that he has SAY YEAH tattooed on his derrière. His way of life has sparked a small fire and as of today, 20 other people have followed suit and tattooed the same manifesto on their bums, too.

Beyond the tattoo on his buttocks, Matt is well traveled, quite brilliant (in my humble opinion), and one of the greatest story tellers I have had on the show yet. 

Sitting with him was an absolute joy, and I hope you all pressure him into starting his own podcast, simply because, he needs one.

Until he is pressured into starting his very own podcast, you can find him on his brand new instagram account @saysyeah. 

....And I think one of our biggest hopes out of this conversation is that one of you out there in "listener land" (....I'm channeling Matt Brady himself here....) gets this manifesto tattooed on your booty, takes a photo, sends it to Matt and myself, and our lives will be made.

Just say yeah, kids, say yeah.

This week is SOLO style and we're talking all things meditation. 

Meditation is something I've done consistently for a decade now. The methods and routines I've used in that time have changed as much as the wind, but I have finally found my bread and butter of meditation. This episode is explaining my process and the story behind how it all started for me. 

The meditation practice that I've landed on is what I go back to time after time, because it just works. It's simple. It's doable. It's straight to the point. 

The music that I listen do during prayer and meditation that I referenced in this specific episode is called, Above and Beyond: Flow State.

Welcome to the new show name, Wake Up with Weslie. 

After taking a deep dive into the history and reality of racial injustices this past week, I discovered that I was using the word "woke" irresponsibly. Woke is a title..more like an honor...to hopefully one day attain. It is a part of my mission now here on Wake Up with Weslie to keep this conversation going, and to continue to educate myself on the very real issues of racial injustice. 

In the past week I've realized how helpless I feel in all this. 

We can post a black square, hold back our personal content, donate money, protest, and vote...and even then it doesn't feel like enough. I feel, personally, that more needs to be done. As the shame waters got deeper, I realized the most important thing I can do right now is continue to educated myself, follow even more amazing black women in real life and on instagram who know what their talking about, and take accountability for anything I've done in ignorance in the past. When I know better, I vow to do better. I will teach my kids to do better.

A part of knowing better and doing better is re-branding this podcast. 

Bronson Christensen, my husband, is the master at building brands--and for this, I am so grateful. 

In this episode we talk about the importance of having a brand with soul, what differentiates brands, and future plans for Wake Up with Weslie.

Jalynn was a normal, working mom just 7 weeks ago. She’s always been open about her life online, so when she discovered some theories about both past and present world events, then it was second nature for her to share those, too.

Within just days, people started to take notice. Since then she’s been featured on Buzzfeed and other media outlets as a 'keyboard conspiracy theorist'.

Jalynns response to this is: "Conspiracy theorist? More like fact sharer."

She finds facts, and shares them for her followers to decipher for themselves.

If You’re interested in seeing what she has to say, you can find her on Instagram @jalynnschroeder, and you can watch her story series called ‘Wake up.”

Flor Bollini is psychedelic facilitator who trained within an African shamanic tradition.  Her mission in life is to inspire and empower individuals to be who they truly are. She designed a way to help people tap into  intrinsic power and to start making decisions from the heart. She believes that for each of us to make a true social impact, then we all need to address the heart.

To do this she created Nana. Nana is the world’s first comprehensive integrative therapy solution, and it's my belief that it is going to change the world of health care as we know it. 

She explains so beautifully in this episode that up until now, the western medical world  has treated the mind with psychotherapy, and the body with surgery and pharmaceuticals, but no one truly addresses the heart—and I don’t mean the physical heat, but more like the brokenness of ones heart. So, at  Nana they treat the mind WITH the heart together to further healing and address mental health.

In this episode we specifically focus on what legal substances  we can use in the USA as of right now which are, ketamine and CBD. Ketamine assisted therapy is helping people breakout out of their severely depressive episodes that years of previous use of traditional antidepressants and normal therapy have just kept the status quo on. THIS IS HUGE!

Flor challenges you to open your mind when it comes to new therapies like ketamine assisted therapy and plant medicine. She states that you can’t know what you’ve never known. So, to truly know something and have an accurate opinion on it--first, you have to open your mind to a new possibility,  and then having personal  experience is crucial to form your own opinions.

Neena Earl gave birth to a beautiful, 6 pound, still born baby girl named, Indira. The loss was sudden, horrific, and possibly could have been prevented if her doctors intervened sooner. 

Since that moment Neena has become an expert on grief. She shares her story openly to help educate expecting mothers on the signs and symptoms of choleostasis, and gives us pointers on what to say to anyone suffering from grief of any kind. 

....and better yet, she tell us what NOT to say.

Devynne Foote is business woman badass....and she's done it all while being a single mother. 

We go deep in this conversation. We go where no human feels exactly comfortable going...like feeling desperate for love and a family dynamic, motherly worries, death of a loved one, fearing how you're going to feed yourself and your kids, and utilizing what government resources are available to you.

Devynne talks about working 24/7, and the endless hustle she found herself in to get her and her child ahead in life, to ultimately taking a step back and allowing some time for rest and replenishment 

We talk risk taking, motherhood, friendship, and the power of family and community. 

This one--it's good. 

Richard Morgan is a life coach, a writer, and an artist amongst lots of other things, but beyond the titles, successes, and life stories....he's a pretty amazing guy.

This weeks episode was recorded back in December before anyone outside of Indy Severe's friends and family knew she was 6 1/2 months pregnant. She announced she was pregnant to the world a few weeks ago, and just a couple days ago she had her baby boy very unexpectedly. It's been a whirlwind! Indy has handled this all with such grace and positivity...it's contagious! And don't worry....Indy is ok, and the baby is doing amazingly well for a little 30 week preemie. Hear her take on pregnancy so far in this episode.

Kristen Morris is a reiki master. While developing her voice practice  after years of motherhood, she actually tapped and tuned into her soul! Weslie and Kristin discuss their reiki session together, what reiki is, and how it’s available to everyone.  

Weslie interviews her husband, Bronson Christensen, on his feelings about her being an open book, his own personal wake up call, marriage, and their parenting style.

Weslie Christensen is WOKE. After a lifetime of people pleasing and having an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy, go with the flow attitude, something snapped and she found herself at rockbottom. Her awakening since that point has been a wild ride of ups and downs, with twists and turns—but it has surely been the most fun and freeing ride she’s ever been on.   Weslie believes that by simply hearing the stories of her and her guest's awakenings that you can start to wake up, too.
