Naturopathic Medicine. A Conversation About Wellness with Dr. Kimani Borland. Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

This week, I am joined by Dr. Kimani Borland. She is a licensed naturopathic doctor who gracefully fuses the global healing arts & philosophies with science and conventional medical care. She is also a practitioner & teacher of Vinyasa Flow & Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Yoga. We talk about her journey into Naturopathic Medicine, what it is and who it is for. We touch on many topics like women's health (including infertility, pregnancy, post partum care), digestive health, stress management as well as busting through so many myths around Naturopathy. She is a Naturopathic Doctor and Yoga Instructor with an unshakeable desire to empower people on their journey toward health.

Here's a little bit more about her in her own words and taken from her website www.wellnesswithdrk.com You can also follow her on Instagram @Dr.Kimani :

Hi, I'm Dr. Kimani and from a young age I've been surrounded by alternative healing modalities that have influenced my lifestyle and career interests.

I was born and raised in Jamaica, and researched and lived in Ethiopia & Tanzania, all uniquely adding to my diverse cultural understanding of medicine & wellness.

I decided to take my interest further and received a B.A in Human Biology and International Public Health from Stanford University in 2010. I also completed two yoga teacher trainings in Vinyasa Flow and Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) Yoga and have taught at multiple yoga studios and yoga conferences around the world.

After graduating, I continued my work in public health conducting research in Ethiopia and Jamaica with Stanford Health Policy, to understand the ways in which health and wellness is achieved throughout the world.

With a deep commitment to yoga and keen interest in its scientific basis, I also worked under the guidance of the director of the Division of Clinical Anatomy at Stanford Medical School to study the mechanisms through which yoga improves the symptoms and progression of musculoskeletal disorders.

My educational path culminated in a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University

Living as a Multi-Potentialite. Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

I have been a multi-potentialite for as long as I can remember. It was only recently though, that I heard the terms "Multi-Passionate" and "Multi-Potentialite. As soon as I heard it, a lightbulb went off and I immediately felt soooooo seen. This week, I'm talking to a fellow "MP" (Multi-passionate/potentialite) he's a Doctor/Artiste/Podcaster/Tv Presenter and the list goes on. We have a candid conversation about what it looks like living that "hummingbird" life. I loved this conversation with Mario and I hope you do too. More about Mario: Mario Evon describes his music as Reggae-Soul, a place where R&B and Soul meets Reggae.
A former member of the University Singers, and background vocalist for artistes such as Alaine and Benjy Myaz, Mario has performed on the main stage at the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival and has made it to the final round of 'Amateur Night at the Apollo', in Harlem.
This graduate of the University of the West Indies as a Medical Doctor, and Berklee College of Music, is also an entrepreneur and songwriter. Mario released his debut album, 'Reggae-Soul Vol. 1: ME On Love' in 2015 and in more recent times you may have heard him singing that you "Don't Need Dope To Cope" on behalf of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), or bringing light to your Wednesday mornings on 'CVM At Sunrise'. His most recent project has been his 'Inspir-Edu-Tainment' podcast, 'Talk Truth with Mario Evon'. Medically he functions as Dr. Guthrie, a General Practitioner, working in his own private practice, in the Emergency room at the Bustamante Hospital for Children, or conducting medicals at the Sagicor Life Paramedic Unit.
The acronym, M.E. could not be more fitting for him, as he continuously spreads a message encouraging others to be themselves, and pursue their passions despite the odds. LINKS: Find everything Mario Evon here -->

"I Know Why You're Single, Sis!" with Nadia Stanley Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

This week I'm joined by Nadia Stanley, a Global TV Producer, who left her 9 to 5 to tell women "I Know Why You're Single,Sis!" I met Nadia years ago when she lived in Jamaica and we always crossed paths. Recently, I saw that she was living in LA and wrote a book!!! I immediately reached out to her and asked if I could read her book and then asked her to be a part of my podcast. This episode was so much fun to record because as always, we got to speak about so much more than just her book. But back to the book... "I Know Why You're Single,Sis! A conversational quick read that can change your life, this book challenges women to literally check off the common sayings they believe, that might just be keeping them single. Sayings like "All Men are Dogs," Nadia Stanley asks back "Does that then mean all women are B*^$es?" Please tune into this conversation and then start your own conversations amongst your friends and family. Hope you enjoy this episode to the max and looking forward to hearing back from you all. Follow Nadia on Instagram @YourGirlStanley and @IKnowWhyBooks or visit her website www.iknowwhybooks.com for more information.

No Mix Up, Just Blended with Regina McCallum Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Hey everyone. I'm so excited to be bringing this very highly requested episode to you. Regina and I have been Co-parenting Gio (Regina and Wayne's son who is now 14yrs) for many many years. In this episode, we talk a little bit about what we've done, why we think it's works and how much it has benefited us both. We mostly gush about our relationship with each other and how we've become friends throughout this crazy journey of Co parenting. "No Mix Up, Just Blended" was born out of our many conversations and it's how we truly strive to live our lives. I'm blessed to have had her on this episode and I hope you all will enjoy this very candid conversation between us. Most of all, I hope it helps to open up the narrative around co-parenting. I have a feeling this will need a part two so look out for that!!! Follow Regina on instagram @Regina_McCallum and be sure to tag us both when you're listening to this episode.

She Matters To Me with Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley Jul 12, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest is Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley. She is a Gynecologist, Entrepreneur who created an entire line of sanitary products (Woman's Touch and Mother's Embrace) and a woman on a mission. Not to mention, she is also an incredible wife and mother. In this episode, we talk about Dr. Simpson Harley's journey to her profession, her passion to create a product that worked for Caribbean women and how she is using that passion to fuel her ultimate goal, to improve the lives of Teen Moms and Pregnant Teens . Her initiative seeks to empower all women, young and old, to help them be fearless, know their worth, understand their influence and use it as a vehicle to develop Jamaica and impact the world. This was a powerful conversation for me especially as I find myself at the end of my 3rd pregnancy. It was heartbreaking and eye opening all at once but it fired me up to help to do my part in bringing awareness to these young women who are often left without a voice and discarded from society. I am making it a part of my personal mission to become a part of the solution. I hope you have many take aways from this episode and that you too make it your mission to be your sisters keeper. Please follow Dr. Simpson Harley on Instagram @DrChrisannSimpsonHarley and @GetWomansTouch on all social media platforms for even more information and please use the hashtag #SheMattersToMe when you share this episode.

"The implications of Teen Pregnancy is clear. Oftentimes, the teenage mother is excluded from school. Reintegration into the school system can be difficult. Some institutions refuse to accept these young mothers into their institutions.

With little to no education, their professional opportunities are limited, leaving these mothers in a position where they can't care for themselves and their children, the burden of care then rests with civil society and the government.

The girls are often frightened and demoralized with little to no support at a time when they are most emotionally and financially vulnerable. Often, these girls are left to fend for themselves while struggling to deal with the societal stereotypes which are attached to teenage pregnancy.

Teen moms need our love, guidance and support now more than ever. Let us join hands and hearts to make a difference in the lives of these girls and the future of th
