Episode 163: Infrared Saunas and Magnesium Float Therapy with Stacey Millhorn

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 06:00:00 -0400

After spending nearly 27 years in the pharmaceutical industry learning about traditional medicine, Stacey Millhorn faced her own battle with chronic pain, including migraines and muscle/joint pain. Despite being prescribed various medications and undergoing physical therapy, she struggled with side effects and sought alternatives.

Her search led her to Pilates, but it was discovering infrared sauna and float therapy at [Pure Sweat + Float Studio](www.puresweatstudios.com) in Nashville that truly transformed her health. Regular sessions helped ease her pain, improve her sleep, and boost her mood. After moving to Utah and unable to find a similar experience, Stacey seized the opportunity to bring the Pure Sweat Studios franchise to Utah. The first location opened in Park City in May 2023, followed by South Jordan in November 2023.

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 06:30:00 -0400

Takeaway: It is more than ok to slow down, say no, and choose to pause and be still.

Challenge: Choose one way that you can be more still this week.

Episode 125: Break the Cycle

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0500

When we get in the vicious cycle of letting unhealthy thoughts and feelings control our lives and our choices, we have to break the cycle and choose differently. This is possible. Let us choose this week to be bold and believe in ourselves and know that we are capable of anything.

Challenge: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings this week and break the cycle if needed.

Quote: "Recall that thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, and actions lead to results. Everything begins with your thoughts—which are produced by your mind." -T. Harv Eker

Episode 106: Let’s not fake it til we make it

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Let us get honest with ourselves and decide if we are truly feeling joy and happiness, and if it is easy, or hard, to be kind. If we are struggling, let us do the hard things and work on ourselves so that we can truly feel joy, love, and kindness.

Episode 105: Who do you want to be today?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

You get to choose who you are every morning. Do you look for whats good in your day today, or are you going to find all that is wrong and complain? This is a choice that we should remind ourselves every single day before we start the day. When we are intentional, we can choose to be the person that looks for the good and shares it.

Episode 104: You Matter

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

We don’t always have someone that reminds us of this. I want to remind you, and let you know that you matter always, no matter what, to God.

Episode 103: Awareness

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

When we let go of our ego, become more open, and truly listen, our perspective, and our life can truly change.

Episode 29: What Can We Control Right Now?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

We have to accept our current situation, and accept what is in our control right now. We have to choose to protect your energy, take care of ourselves, lower our expectations, get closer to God, and be kind to each other. This can be a stressful time if you choose to let it take over. Choose to find the good, create a calmer environment, and help your tribe get through this. This will pass. Let us be better on the other side.

Honestly, I believe we have to take this time and get closer to God, closer to each other and slow down. Choose to use this time for good. It is possible.

Episode 28: Homeschooling Tips

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

I must say that choosing to homeschool your kids, and working remotely, is very different than what is going on now. So, yes, I know it is different, but I still am hoping that some things I have learned over the years might help.

I am not claiming to be an expert, and you also don’t have to agree with my beliefs for any of these tips to help you. I have been walking a different path for awhile, and I love it….but it’s not for everyone. But for now, we are all in this together, and I am praying and rooting for you to come out of this better than you can even imagine.

Honestly, I believe the most important part of all of this, is how we grow as people, parents, families, and christians.
