4/2/2024
Hello Ambitchious Listener, This week’s episode of the Ambitchious Podcast is one you absolutely can't miss if you're looking for a substantial dose of inspiration—and perhaps, a nudge towards a healthier, more emboldened version of you. In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Christine Munroe, a brave soul who embarked on a rigorous 28-day journey to well-being through a program known to our community as "A28P." Christine's captivating story begins with her skepticism about fasting for 28, 48, and even 72 hours. But with fortitude and encouragement, she not only overcame her doubts but experienced profound transformations—both mentally and physically. In this episode we will touch upon: - Christine's fasting schedule and its integration into family life - The significant impact of diet on well-being, including the reduction of inflammation and improvement in sleep - How shedding 17 pounds in one week marked the start of her weight loss journey - The power of documenting progress through photos to inspire both self and others - Holistic wellness insights, extending beyond weight loss to overall life satisfaction📢 Spread the Word: Christine's accomplishments are nothing short of remarkable. With her eyes set on future goals like moving to Maine, authoring a book, and reclaiming her health to the extent of getting off blood pressure medication, her tale is a testament to the fact that ambition and determination can redefine one's life trajectory. Furthermore, Christine's experience shines a light on how specific lifestyle changes can foster better relationships and communication, enhance mental clarity, and rekindle a sense of passion and vitality. Her story of leaving her job, facing family skepticism, and eventually finding a supportive community on the ambitious app, redefines what it means to choose oneself in an often too demanding world. 🌿Let's Talk Nutrition: While Christine's results are astounding, interestingly, part of her success story involves dropping nightshade vegetables from her diet—a surprising twist that reveals the intricate connection between our diet and inflammation. 💪 Health Empowerment: Katie underscores the importance of rethinking our daily habits, including our relationship with food, fasting, meditation practices, and even how we set boundaries within our personal spaces. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a wake-up call to embrace a more intentional and nourished life.

Why the People Who Know You Don’t Support You

7/25/2023
On this episode of Ambitchious, the HBIC herself addresses the topic of why the people you know don't support you. Katie starts off by urging listeners to share and promote the podcast, as well as join a seven-day free trial of The App, a supportive community platform. Most likely the people who know her already won't do this and here in lies the topic of discussion. Katie emphasizes that nobody is special and that relying on others for support and validation is narcissistic and limiting. She encourages listeners to seek their own validation, trust their own opinions, and listen to their intuition. Katie expresses frustration with the coaching industry and questions if people are actually paying attention to the podcast. Katie also believes that feeling happy all the time and having constant support is abnormal and may indicate a form of mental illness. This podcast is really a personal rant sharing stories and strategies to overcome challenges. She advises listeners not to care about support, cheerleaders, or who is in their corner, as it will lead to disappointment. Katie discusses clients who self-sabotage due to prioritizing the need for love and acceptance over their desire to succeed. She emphasizes that being assertive and having something going for oneself makes it easy to become rich. The importance of surrounding oneself with supportive and helpful people is also highlighted. The negative impact of individuals who are not contributing and are simply "sitting on the wagon" is emphasized, and Katie advises listeners to excommunicate them from their lives. She warns against listening to people who discourage hard work. Katie also talks about personal growth and contrasts it with individuals who live mundane lives and have not changed or grown. Regarding life's purpose, Katie encourages listeners to let go of the belief that they need others' support to achieve it. Pursuing one's life purpose may be challenging and lonely, but separating oneself from unsupportive individuals is necessary for growth. Coming up next on Ambitchious, Katie will delve deeper into the concept of life's purpose and shar e mind-blowing insights. Listeners are encouraged to pursue their life's purpose and not waste their human life by limiting themselves. Katie acknowledges that pursuing one's life purpose may attract jealousy and criticism but asserts that it is necessary for personal elevation.

How to Break Generational Curses

7/18/2023
On this episode of the Ambitchious Podcast, Katie explores the topic of breaking generational curses. Drawing on the concept of ancestral curses and epigenetics, the HBIC herself, delves into how beliefs and experiences from past ancestral generations can still impact us today. She recommends a book by Mark Wolynn titled 'It Didn't Start with You' as a valuable resource on the subject. One of the key points made is the idea that if we believe in superstitions, we should also consider the possibility of ancestral trauma being passed down. Throughout the episode, Katie emphasizes the power that individuals hold to heal themselves. She will discuss various techniques and practices, such as engaging in ancestral healing, shadow work, death meditation, and inner child healing meditation to aid in the healing process. She also suggests seeking support from coaches or healers and even urges her listeners to join her Ambitchious App which provides everything individuals need for this work. She also explores the presence of metaphysical blocks from generational ancestral beliefs, curses, ld wives' tales, superstitions, and suspicions, which heavily influence and affect the current generation. As a trained and intuitive healer, herself she delves into the root chakra, explaining how past experiences and ancestral wounds can be stored there, affecting various aspects of life, including relationships and physical health. The role of epigenetics in inheriting trauma, curses, and wounds is also discussed. Katie raises thought-provoking insights about how intrusive thoughts may be influenced by past generations' behaviors and verbiage, urging listeners to address the spiritual and energetic components for personal growth and healing. Overall, this episode provides valuable insight and tools for breaking generational curses and taking control of one's own healing journey."
