Ep 24: Mindful and Intuitive Movement w/ Dr. Bri Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

It was fun to be in the hotseat for this interview, which is all about mindful and intuitive movement!

I share: my "micro-dosing movement" theory (especially good for people with chronic pain), the importance of knowing your limits especially if you have adrenal fatigue, how to honor your cycles and "seasons" of your life, my steps for learning how to move intuitively, how the music you're drawn to can help you find your perfect movement practice, why tuning into the deep core is important, and why it's okay to "date" multiple forms of movement before settling down with one.

Ep 17: Reinvention at Any Age w/ Jenn Edden Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

As Jenn Edden says, "You can change your life any time you want." In June 2019, Jenn changed her life pretty dramatically by selling everything and packing up her husband three kids to set off on a year-long cross country road trip full of discovery. Your reinvention might not be quite so drastic, but if you feel the itch to change bubbling up inside of you, you will NOT want to miss this episode! Jenn, a board-certified holistic health counselor and sugar addiction expert, shares her steps for reinvention at ANY age or stage, as well as some tips for maintaining healthy habits throughout the changes.

Jenn's shares how sugar cravings can actually be a SIGN that you're ready to reinvent yourself (as she says, "reinvention can give you the natural high that you're looking for, instead of reaching for food or other substances") and her four steps to reinvention: 1) weigh the pros and cons, 2) share your dream with others, 3) set a date and have a plan, 4) ...and then DO IT! And back yourself.

Ep 16: Making Healthy Changes @ Home w/ Dr. Anita Lee Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

It's the first episode of Season 2, and it's so exciting to be back for MORE!!! After a short break (due to filming/producing Kegel Camp, read more about that below) I'm back in the podcast game and thrilled to be bringing you supportive episodes during this time of COVID-19. Please know that this episode is "timeless" and so even if you're not listening during the time of the Coronavirus outbreak and period of self-quarantine, you will still benefit from what Dr. Anita and I discuss about making healthy changes at home. It's 100% relevant no matter when you listen!

Some highlights that Dr. Anita shares include the battle that goes on in our minds (when it comes to making our wellness a priority), the epidemic of being busy and why slowing down can be so hard, how to find our true identity and set meaningful health goals, the power of journaling and "brain dumps," and how long it ACTUALLY takes to form new habits.
