In this episode, E.J. reveals a recent fragile realization that she has to make a difficult but necessary change in her life in the name of self-care. With great honesty, she shares her experience of accepting how much she can take on and moves from our co-host to a guest and contributor.
We go through the many ways women, in particular, have a more challenging time putting ourselves first and saying no to people, projects and things that are draining, damaging or no longer serving us even when it doesn't feel right.
We also share ways to recognize and respect your own internal voice and the tools you need to identify and clear your blocks gently so you can forge a new path forward with guilt-free confidence, clarity and lots of compassion.

Is too much positivity a bad thing? We learned that it sure can be. In this episode, we discover the term Toxic Positivity as well as how, when and why we hosts have perpetrated it, ya know, a few times in our lives. Gennifer has an aha moment — she might be enlisting her sunnyside personality to repel anything that triggers negative emotions. Wait, doesn’t that sound pretty good?
Not so fast. We set out on a quest to find acceptance and embrace the beautiful truth behind “Yeah, that sucks!"

![Lemons into Lemonade]()
May 7, 2020
We’ve all weathered weeks of quarantine, and we're focusing on resilience! We turned to our friend Jill, who runs a small company — 6 staffers plus 4 freelancers — because when the country’s shutdown took most of her business with it, she was faced with the choice to panic or persevere.
As Jill shares, all her personal pursuits and her commitment to self-care kept her out of panic and guided her pivot. Her state of being kept her open to inspiration and creativity, which led to new solutions that have her staff super-busy instead of worried. She talks about how moving out of her normal fear/anxiety mindset freed her up to think clearer and see the possibilities.
We hope listening will help inspire new ways to make lemonade when you’ve got a surplus of lemons.

As the world continues to shift and realign, we’re all working on finding our new footings. Yet, at Your Practical Magic, we’re still focused on how to reduce reactivity to life’s challenges.
In this episode, we’re talking about money and how to begin the transformation from seeing money as a scary green monster wielding overwhelm and panic to just another energetic vibration to interact with — and integrate — to add to life’s abundance.
We each found that the deepest wealth and success came from trusting that our experiences prepared us deep within to stand strong when old patterns and financial hardships challenged us to grow. That’s the reallocation we’re invested in!

What's your go-to when you don't know what to do? Noreen, Gennifer and EJ talk about how when confronting danger, sometimes the best survival tactic is to just be still.
The fight, flight or freeze reactions running through so many people’s bodies right now can result in a prolonged state of alarm, creating an overload of hormones. In turn, those can deplete one's energy, lower the immune system and ultimately can do more damage than good. Join us as we discuss how being still can quietly bring us to safety and reveal the way to what's next.
