Beekeeper’s Naturals

Would you pay a dollar a day for more energy, focus, and drive? That’s what I get with BeeKeepers Naturals B. Powered Superfood Honey. 

Every day, I take a spoonful of their B. Powered honey and every night, I go to bed after my kids, which is saying a lot. Before B. Powered, I’d be totally out of energy by 4 pm. Can anyone relate? 

Running a growing business while being a mom to three kids-- including some pretty wild twin toddlers-- is exhausting. But with B. Powered, I feel more focused and driven than I have in a while… like maybe even before kids. 

You know I wouldn’t try to sell you something I don’t believe in and actually use. But I love my B. Powered and now, I honestly can’t imagine my life without it!

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 127. How am I still dealing with these same issues, I wondered. I thought I had looked through everything. I had peeled back layers. I had done some major healing. For a year. 

And that’s when I woke up to the real cause– and purpose– of these wounded cycles we inflict upon ourselves. 

Each of us has some core wounds we internalize in childhood.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 126. Shame and limiting beliefs are like two sides of the same coin. Shame tells us that we are bad and wrong, and often, limiting beliefs can tell us that others are bad and wrong. 

Let me give you an example during today’s podcast.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 125. Like most women throughout history, but even specifically those growing up like I did, in the American south in the last half a century, showing any amount of skin was met with disapproving glares, gossipy whispers, and choruses of “bless her heart.”

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 123. Have you ever been going about your day, doing something totally normal like getting groceries, logging into your email, picking your kids up from school, or going on a hike, and something happens that stops you in your tracks… some little coincidence or a moment of deja vu, or a text from a long lost friend you just had a dream about the night before?

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 121. My kids recently lost their great grandfather. It was an open casket. Before the visitation, I told my kids that even though they’d be looking at their great grandfather’s body, his soul was not there.  Have you ever noticed that the body never really looks like the person did in life? There are many reasons for this, but the most important one, to me, is that a body isn’t really anything without a soul.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 120. Sometimes, whether slowly or all at once, you realize that your life is not and will never be what you thought it would be. Even if it is more beautiful than you thought possible, even if you are more fulfilled than you could have imagined, even if you wouldn’t take that first dream life back for all the money in the world, you eventually need to grieve the life you fought so hard for… the life you’ll never have and maybe never had.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 119. I remember when Brian and I moved to Nashville after our year of traveling the country in an Airstream, and I was convinced that putting down new roots in a new city would be the final step in our healing journey. Both individually and together. I thought Brian would finally be able to meet new friends, get excited about getting a job, we could go on dates to places we've never been before, and enjoy the culture of a big city. There was nothing I wouldn’t do to help us move forward. I just didn’t realize at the time that the one thing I couldn’t do was move Brian forward with me. And I tried.
