"If you have a pulse, you have a parasite." Today's conversation is allllll about the GUT. Something we all have, and something most of us struggle with. If you've ever dealt with IBS, bloating, cramping, headaches, teeth grinding, moodiness, constipation, loose stools, acne, food poisoning, etc. THIS IS FOR YOU.

Rachel Kalmar (@liviawellness) and I connected on the 'gram and became INSTANT bffs, nerding out about all things gut health and parasites (something we've both dealt with extensively).

Rachel Kalmar is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (Holistic Nutritionist) and is based in Toronto, Canada but serves clients virtually from all over the globe. Rachel's practice focuses on gut health through her signature Gut Rehab program. She also focuses on the importance of ingredients in our foods and how they contribute to our health. She is passionate about helping you overcome your frustrating gut symptoms and giving you the support you need to finally heal.

We chat about everything from health anxiety to antibiotics to killing and cleansing parasites, future self journalling, the vagus nerve and so much more! It was such a beautiful conversation and I can't wait for you to tune in!

100 episodes?! Holy fricken chicken noodle soup! THAT is a cool milestone! I am so honoured that you're here with me on this journey. And to celebrate 100 podcast conversations, I recorded a special chat for you about a really spiritual moment I experienced last weekend. It started with a major snowfall we got in my city. And ended with me laying on my back in the dark in the park, covered in snow.

You'll soon see what I'm talking about!

Want to help me celebrate the podcast hitting 100 conversations?! Could you take 1 minute and leave a fun review + 5 star rating on iTunes?? It would mean the world to me, as that allows more lovely people to find + listen to the podcast! Plus, I totally have words of affirmation as a love language and would really appreciate hearing from the wonderful people who enjoy my weekly musings!

I'm always in your corner,

Marie

Have you ever turned to baking, making or painting as a form of stress relief and relaxation?

There's a lot of fascinating science behind art therapy, and today's conversation dives into this topic in real time with my new friend, and local ceramacist, photographer, artist and lover of good vibes, Jocelyn De Moissac.

We have a very real, everyday woman chat about what art as therapy means for us and how Jocelyn got started creating beautiful, simple ceramics during a hard time in her life.

I appreciated the rawness of this conversation and I have a feeling it'll help you feel a little more seen and a little less crazy, wherever you're at.

If you are a human on earth, you have experienced trauma.

Your birth into this world was a trauma.

And every moment after that where you felt too overwhelmed to process, can be pinpointed as a trauma.

It doesn't have to be these big, one off events. Trauma encompasses much more than that.

Today's guest, my lovely friend, Kirby Criddle, has been treating clients for 15 years in an energy work and plant medicine capacity. Specializing in trauma integration and sexual, emotional and spiritual aspects of health. Her purpose is to serve and to uplift and get to the root of any obstacles or limiting beliefs that are holding you back from unlocking your highest potential.

In this conversation, we chatted about: - Big T trauma and Little T trauma - How you still need support once you've recognized the trauma - Allowing yourself to be supported in yoga nidra - Getting sick from consuming too much social media - The difference between therapy + therapy memes - Past life regression + trauma integration - Female health, sexual health + why being naked in nature is an important practice for her - Ep 3 of "The Goop Lab" on Netflix (Orgasms with Betty Dodson) - Kirby's current morning routine + her 4 step journal questions And so much more!

Put your hand up if you're stressed out...

We have become human DOINGS, on 24/7, tuned in to our devices more than we're tuned into ourselves and our state of being shows.

Because of this, we're not breathing or slowing down to pause and our bodies are recalibrating to function in a stressed out state, which is causing dis-ease in the body.

We often seek out meditation because we have too many thoughts. But then, we feel we suck at meditating because we have too many thoughts...

Marie, a women's wellness coach with a focus on mindfulness, cyclical living and feeling good, is here to debunk the difficulty of meditation and teach you how to implement a simple, daily practice that will help you relax, unwind and feel better.

In this interview from the Fit Chicks Transformation Conference, listeners will learn Marie's top 3 tips on: 1) The science of stress 2) What meditation is and how to practice it 3) 3 of Marie's favourite breathing techniques to ditch stress quick

ps - did you know Marie has a simple, 3 module course called "Stress Less + Learn To Meditate"? Check out the link below!

At a certain point in my life, after dealing with sickness after sickness, I started to question the medical system's ability to help me heal and instead turned to Nature and listening to my body's needs instead.

It changed everything.

Today's beautiful guest, Krysta Francoeur, the founder and CEO of Wild Remedies, had a very similar experience. It was through spending years of her life sick and eventually having her tonsils removed at age 23 that she came into the discovery of the healing properties of plant medicine.

She spent some time living abroad in Europe, Mexico, the US as well as in Malaysia working for Mindvalley as a Senior Designer. She began to dive into the power of nature as Healer and the science of spirituality. It was during that time that she discovered the incredibly healing mushroom, Chaga, which led her to creating her first tea product and eventually, her incredible collection of Magick Lattes with Wild Remedies.

They are GORGEOUS and LUXURIOUS! You can grab yours below.

We chatted about: - Our mutual experiences growing up with chronic sickness - How Krysta came into the science of spirituality + metaphysics - How the breakdown leads to the breakthrough - Following your gut and living according to your Intuition - The magic of rituals and Krysta's morning routine - Feeling connected to something larger than ourselves - Synchronicities + "coincidences" - "The Surrender Experiment" by Michael Singer - "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer - Our mutual obsession with the "Conversations with God" series by Neale Donald Walsch - "Ask and It Is Given" by Abraham Hicks - "The Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying" by Bronnie Ware and sooo much more!

There is an overwhelming amount of information available on how to achieve the results you want. The common narrative seems to be "work harder, train more, eat less, push, grind, punish, sleep when you're dead" in order to get the results you want.

Marie, a women's wellness coach with a focus on mindfulness, cyclical living and feeling good, is here to debunk that and teach you how to get your best results (in every area) with a more easy-going approach.

In this interview from the Fit Chicks Transformation Conference, listeners will learn Marie's top 3 tips on how to use at home workout programs to get (and keep!) the results they want, for life! Because it's good to feel good. Marie is here to show you how.

You will hear about 3 main tips: 1) Finding your feel-good path instead of shoulding on yourself 2) Habit Stacking (what it is and how to) 3) Creating built-in accountability to feel supported along the way
