E022: Elevating Awareness: Navigating Life from a Birdseye View
Hi everyone. Welcome back to another episode. I live in eastern North Carolina, for those of you still getting to know me. It's a big agricultural area, and my husband is a farmer. We live at his family's home place, surrounded by fields that rotate in corn and...
E021: Ladies Night In: Self Care with Friends
Last night, I had the opportunity to go to an event hosted by my good friend Alison called Facials and Fizz. This whole summer, every week, she’s been hosting get togethers for women in the community. At the beginning of the summer, before we started having our...
E020: How to Stop Procrastinating
“I'll do it tomorrow.” Have you used this phrase only to later realize it probably wasn’t the best decision? This one phrase has caused so much grief in my life because one tomorrow becomes another tomorrow, and before long, a month of tomorrows or more has passed....
E019: Back To Square One: The Purpose of Obstacles
There are two reasons obstacles come into your life either to be overcome or to divert you on a new path. In this week’s episode, we explore obstacles and what they might be there to teach you. My shortcut to the grocery store this last year had road closures...

E018: How to Stop Holding on to the Things Holding you Down
"Spring is a time of plans and projects," said one of my favorite authors in high school Leo Tolstoy. It's about letting go of the old, making room for the new, and reflecting on ways to move forward and continue to improve and evolve. The concept of making room for...
E017: A 14-Carat Mind & a Body of Golden Flaws
Despite what you see on social media, life is imperfect. Vehicles break, technology lags, loved ones' schedules don't coincide, and the makeup tutorial you watched looks totally different when you try it yourself. Life gets messy, accidents happen, and unplanned...
016: Embracing Being ‘Extra’
In the South, they have a little personality description of someone being "Extra." I guess it may not be just a southern thing, but that seems to be the only place I've heard it used. Maybe we have a lot of "extra" people down here.:) And that, as you’ll see, is a...
015: Six Habits that Changed my Well-Being
As I reflected on my well-being journey, it was pretty obvious to identify the six biggest well-being influencers. I hope some will resonate with you, and you’ll share feedback on what you are currently doing or want to try. Pranayama | Breathing It’s the first thing...
014: Getting Off & On Autopilot
Some people do spring cleaning annually; for others, it's a continual clean-out process. The impending change of seasons and a little downtime brought an opportunity to re-evaluate and, quite frankly, re-invent. Those of you that know me can appreciate I'm all about...
013: The “Quick Fix” Mentality
Hello Friends. I'm so glad to be here with you today. This last week has been a challenging one for me personally. I won't say stressful because my future self doesn't want to subscribe to the negative thought. My 90-year-old father was hospitalized for pneumonia, so...

012: When “Stuff” Becomes Stressful
Hi friends! I want to tell you how pumped I am about today's podcast because it is near and dear to my heart. Having been in the garbage business for most of my career, I have a fond appreciation for getting rid of or recycling what no longer serves you. There...
011: Your Secret Weapon In Relationships
As we know from Ayurveda, from an emotional health standpoint, we must digest all emotional experiences because they can produce just as many toxins in the body as undigested food. When we learn to incorporate the 4 A’s into our life, we create the opportunity to...
010: Self Love with Me, Myself & I
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. I think it’s great to have a day where we can recognize that love exists in many forms, whether it’s from friends, family, pets, and of course, yourself. A few weeks ago, one of my coaching friends was talking about...
009: A Reason, A Season, or a Lifetime
My friends, thank you for tuning in to another episode of True Basis Health: The Ripple Effect. I feel so lucky to share my "Micah Musings" with you each week and consider each of you part of my circle. Reflecting on February and Valentine's got me thinking of the...
008: Crippled by Control Issues
Welcome friends! Ahhh. Control. So I had a client the other day talking about feeling like they didn't have control over their life, and it was a disempowering thought. Just the way she said it, I could tell how deflated she felt. First of all, does any of us...
007: When Doing Nothing Is Everything
Anyone else come running into the new year? Life has been nonstop between holiday activities, travel, special projects, and a host of other things. Last week I started a new year's detox, and I also had a late-night presentation on Ayurveda for a group on the west...
006: Reduce Anxiety with Minimal Effort
I'll always remember being super stressed about giving a presentation on Agni (Sanskrit for digestive fire) as part of my Ayurvedic Educator certification. We were in small groups, and while I knew everyone was supportive and wanted me to succeed, my ego wanted to be...
005: The Missing Piece In Making Life Shifts Stick
Before we dive in, quick question. Have you shared this podcast with a friend trying to make their health a priority, or do they need a little help getting clear on what they want out of life? Would you mind just grabbing the link to this episode or the podcast in...
004: Creating Balance Through Taste
I first learned about the six tastes during my Ayurvedic educator training. I have to be honest. Initially, I was overwhelmed thinking how am I going to fit all this into my regular meals? I’m generally a light eater and I was looking at the foods and what categories...
003: Eating Our Way Through Feelings
I don’t know how many of you can identify with being overwhelmed, disappointed, anxious, or frustrated and reaching for something yummy to numb the feelings. Sometimes there’s just too much in life to deal with that the thought of not dealing with it at all becomes an...
002: Decisions Choices & Obstacles
Your choices and experiences either keep you whole or chip away at your well-being. In yoga, we talk about everything being a choice. Guess who makes the choices? You. So, while having to wade through the sea of choices can feel overwhelming at times, learning to flip...
001: Invitation to Balance
Hello fellow Clarity seekers. What a week it's been. I don't know about you, but I've been feeling a little out of balance. And not in a good way. It's not fun when the side of imbalance detracts from your well-being. It's actually quite uncomfortable. When I'm out of...
