The Well 52 with Beth Porter

Hello! My name is Beth Porter and I’m a Cincinnati native living in Colorado. I have a healing practice (Earth & Ether) where I help people understand what’s going on under the surface. The process often looks like healing trauma, past programming and limiting beliefs — a reconciliation of who you thought you were with who you really are. I work with a healing system called Emotional Polarity Technique™ (EPT™) to uncover the unresolved conflict keeping you stuck in some outdated version of yourself. In my work with clients, I help them find peace and alignment through forgiveness.

Embrace Gratitude Year-Round with These Simple Practices

The New Year invites us to reflect on our blessings, but practicing gratitude year-round can uplift your mood and enhance your well-being. From starting your day with a gratitude list to ending it with reflections, there are countless ways to integrate thankfulness into your daily routine—even at work! Try gratitude walks, journals, or expressing appreciation to colleagues to spread positivity. These easy habits can transform your mindset and foster a happier, more fulfilling life.

Mastering Your Mindset: Unlocking the Power of Perspective in 2025

As we embark on another year, the concept of mindset remains a cornerstone of personal and professional growth. Popularized by psychologist Carol Dweck, the idea of mindset highlights two primary orientations: the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. These perspectives shape how we navigate challenges, respond to setbacks, and seize opportunities.

The New Year is here, and it’s the perfect time to embrace the transformative power of "Mastering Your Mindset." Resolutions often fizzle out so ditch the "New Year, New You" (we liked you in 2024!). That's why we're focusing on mindset this month instead. Resetting your mindset offers a deeper, more sustainable approach to personal growth. This January, we’re focusing on the power of perspective and how a mindset shift can unlock a world of possibilities.

The Enneagram found me at the time in my life when I needed it most. I was living with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, along with severe gut health issues and other related physical symptoms. I had recently started a new job where I felt so out of place, like my introversion was so misunderstood and was impacting my working relationships and how my work was perceived. And my husband and I had just lived through a 10 month home renovation. I needed help.

June is quickly becoming synonymous with rainbows, parades, waving flags, energetic celebrations, and other symbols of LGBTGEQIAP+ pride. It’s exciting to see the progress society is making in celebrating our community and publicly supporting us, but pride month doesn’t necessarily translate to individual pride. If you feel an extra burst of pride this month and get an extra pep in your step, you go right on with your big bad self and live your best life. However, if you find yourself struggling this month to feel the pride you are seeing all around you on the streets and in social media, know you’re not alone. Those feelings are valid. To help you through this month, here are five ideas to remember:

As I have deepened in my somatic training and embodiment of the work, it now seems obvious that alongside that I would also deepen in my connection to nature. To the earth, the body we all belong to. I have learned so much by observing nature, her seasons, the constant change and the ultimate acceptance of and surrender to what is. Presence with the cycles of life has been a great teacher as I reflect on what it is to be human.

During the pandemic, I proposed to one of my executive coaching clients the idea of joining me for a walk in a park instead of using Zoom for our next coaching session.
