Hosts: Alicia Peterson-Hawes (Holistically Correct) & Lila Swanberg (The Living Wellness Lounge)

Spring is nature’s invitation to renew, reset, and lighten up. In this episode, Alicia and Lila explore how Ayurveda approaches the seasonal transition from winter to spring — a time marked by heaviness, stagnation, and excess moisture in the body and mind.

You’ll learn how to support your body’s natural cleansing processes by adjusting your daily routine, diet, and movement practices to align with spring’s unique energy. This episode breaks down practical steps for reducing seasonal sluggishness, boosting circulation and digestion, and regaining a sense of clarity and vitality.

Perfect for anyone feeling stuck, foggy, congested, or simply ready for a shift.
