Susan Cabana, Founder of Nourish Your Soul Juice, has learned the importance of nourishing your soul first-hand. One night more than a decade ago, she unexpectedly lost her husband of 10 years, her best friend, and the father of her three girls. His heart stopped. Her heart broke. At age 37, Susan was left to raise her daughters and pick up life’s pieces. Then, in 2008, the economic crash took down her 18-year career on Wall Street.

After wrestling with the depths of fear and devastation, Susan decided she needed to make a change. To keep living and to live well, for herself and her daughters. She committed to healing herself, drinking green juice daily, running, yoga.

One day, Susan’s yoga teacher asked the question that altered everything: “What would you do if you had no barriers or fears?” That moment, on her yoga mat, she knew a career of helping people heal through a way of living that incorporates movement, meditation, gratitude, and sustaining their bodies through nutrition was her path.

Nourish Your Soul food and juice is produced with the highest quality ingredients, sourced locally and organic as much as possible. Their food is fresh, healthy, and made with love.

They use a top-of-the-line cold press to gently grind fruits and vegetables into a fine pulp and extract every ounce of juice. Cold pressing preserves the integrity of fruits and vegetables by using high pressure instead of heat. The result? A fresh, flavorful, and nourishing juice.

Let's welcome Susan Cabana to the 1FITFOODIE Podcast!

Erica Bornstein is in the house today! I am THRILLED!

Erica fell in love with yoga at a very young age when she was introduced to it as a way to stay in dancer shape, but later in life discovered it was so much more than that. As an adult, she developed a regular yoga practice and noticed that it brought her to feel this sense of balance in her body and her mind. Other physical activity became easier, and she approached difficult situations in life with a much more open attitude. Erica found herself constantly talking to people about yoga, thinking about yoga, reading about yoga, so she decided to see what would happen if she registered for a teacher training in 2010.

Erica now is a full-time yoga teacher and could not be more thrilled to be a part of the incredible yoga community in Boston. Erica teaches an athletic vinyasa flow, focused on basics and alignment, with some advanced options sprinkled in, and she encourages students to personalize their practice for their own needs. She teaches yoga with a sense of fun and creativity, always has a killer playlist, and her humor and playful spirit are ever-present in her classes. Overall, Erica believes that yoga is an accommodating practice, accessible to all people, that requires only loving care for the body and the willingness to keep an open mind and heart.

Her number one mission in life is to encourage everyone to love yoga, or at least to try it. I take Erica's class every week and continued to be inspired by her classes, her messages and her unique approach to yoga!

Today on the podcast, we are joined by Stephanie Smith, owner of The Bar Method Boston.

Stephanie's passion for the Bar Method began at the Bar Method Boston back in 2012. Stephanie discovered the Bar Method through friends, and after her first class, she was immediately hooked! She loved how the small movements had such a big impact on her body and started to quickly see results.

When the Boston Downtown studio opened right near her office, it seemed like the perfect time to become an instructor. She was an instructor for three years at both Boston locations before purchasing the studios in 2018. Stephanie had a career in sales for 7 years prior to purchasing the studios but knew sales were not her true passion and was looking for a change.

Her love of the Bar Method community and technique is what inspired her to become an owner and take on this exciting challenge. When she's not at the studios, Stephanie spends her free time with her fiancée Sean and dog Meika. Tune in to listen to Stephanie’s story and what it takes to run an extremely successful business! Welcome, Stephanie!

Intuitive eating says this “eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full”

Intuitive eating can often feel so vague and impracticable to someone who trying to get OUT OF the diet mentality and heal their relationship with food. The advice can actually be really discouraging

At its root, intuitive eating is a way to get your body and mind more in connection with one another so you are able to FEEL the different types of hunger and FEEL when and what you should be eating; the difference between satisfaction and fullness, emotional hunger and physical hunger.

The CORE of intuitive eating is something that I worked for YEARS to incorporate and it is not something that just happens overnight.

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED?

Using numbers and time of day to dictate what and how I ate was something I was a slave to for YEARS. This soon became a way of eating that was NOT sustainable for me. I was on autopilot the entire day. I had no idea what hunger was, how my body felt, how satisfaction, fullness, satiety felt. I would eat and move on, eat and move on. I don't even remember truly ENJOYING my food.

In this episode, we are going over how to free yourself from being tied and dependent on numbers, counting food, being a slave to a way of eating that is NOT sustainable in the long run, and giving you some practical and tangible tips to incorporate a more intuitive eating approach, exactly what I teach in #1FITFUTURE
