The Soul Sync Sessions LIVE | Aligned & Amplified is a series with heart-centered visionary women about how they are bringing mind, body, soul and business together in their life & brand. We chat about everything from energetics to strategy and how you can implement these practices into your life and business to feel more aligned and amplify your message.

In this episode of the Soul Sync Sessions LIVE | Aligned & Amplified - I chatted with Meli Kirkwood a trauma-aware functional nutritionist, movement educator, and energy mentor helping people rebuild vitality through food, physiology, and purpose. With 17+ years in fitness and wellness, she supports driven humans from athletes to high-achievers recovering from burnout or chronic stress who want more than quick fixes. Her approach blends performance nutrition, nervous system regulation, and metabolic healing so you can live, move, and lead with lasting energy.

In this incredible conversation, I chatted with Meli about everything from redefining wellness and shifting from a place of surface level wellness and the mindset of trying these “quick fixes” to understanding actual wellness. We chatted about everything from functional testing to help you understand holistically what your body is telling you and what shifts you need to make, to diving into the supplement industry and really understanding quality health from the inside out.

In a society that values quick fixes, a pill to mask a symptom and social activities and trends that are disguised as “wellness” activities, we need to take a step back to pause, feel into what is actually happening at a root cause level and then address the dis-ease from the place of deepest understanding vs. coming from the surface. When we feel dis-ease or dis-comfort our initial reaction is what can we do to make it go away - but what happens when you stop and ask - what is my body and my soul trying to tell me? If you feel discomfort in your neck / shoulders - ask yourself what weight am I trying to carry that isn’t mine or where am I trying to manage or control a situation? If your knees are bothering you, ask yourself where am I resisting moving forward or where do you need to slow down before acting?

Our bodies have wisdom within them, yet we often start from a place of masking the message and the truth is, when we do that, the message has no choice but to get louder until you listen to it.

This conversation was SO powerful and enlightening. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
