Confident, Energized and Sexy Mama Show - Health & Mindset Coaching, Cycle Syncing, Flow Living for Working Moms

Hey Divas! 

Today on the show I am answering a question from a listener who is asking: 

"I saw some pictures of myself at the wedding we went to recently and was horrified. I am finding it hard to resist the chocolate and food that I know is bad for me. I feel like I’m going through a bit of self-sabotage at the moment. How do I love myself even though I don't feel/look pretty?"

We can all relate to this question, especially as women. 

I talk about how looking and feeling pretty is an inside job we have to do with ourselves, especially when we know that the road to achieving our health goals will be long. Let's be honest, it took years to get to where we are today, and it will take time to clear some of it out of the body.

But, how do we love ourselves in the process, that's what we're going to talk about today.  

Do you have questions for me that you'd like me to answer on the show? You're welcome to send me an email ([email protected]) or DM me on IG @doritpalvanov. 

Sending you much love & healing!! 

XOXO,

Dorit

Hey Divas! 

Today on the show I am talking about some takeaways after the EVOLVE 2018 conference, which is Dr. Shefali's live event I attended this past weekend in Long Beach, California. 

I'm sharing what I've learned, including some very powerful examples of exercises we've done on the conference and also introduce you to two of my favorite presenters (hint, one of them was a guest on this podcast!!).

The energy of this event was absolutely incredible and the transformation deep and powerful. I could not believe it is possible to have such profound realizations in such a short period of time, so this is only a testament to Dr. Shefali's level of mastery. 

Together we cried, breathed deeply, meditated, hugged without taking, looked in each other's eyes and surrendered to our humanity. I'm so happy I said yes! 

I hope my takeaways will inspire you to shift some of your mindsets around change and healing and maybe (just maybe) you'll be motivated enough to attend the next EVOLVE experience! 

Enjoy listening!! 

XOXO,

Dorit

Hey Divas!

 

Today on the show I am sharing an inspiring story of a mama who is definitely being a diva in her life!

This story touched my heart so much and I’m excited to share it with you on the podcast.

 

This is the story of Bradley and Leslie Bienz and how this one family is helping to change the medical protocol with regards to tube-feeding and treating children with feeding disorders.

Bradley was born prematurely and had to endure many surgeries and medical procedures which resulted in medical traumas and a severe feeding disorder. His disorder was so severe, he was unable to eat, and he required a feeding tube.

Today on the show you will hear his mom, Leslie, sharing her story of how she chose not to feed her son with any sugary drinks, meals replacement shakes or Pediasure and what she's done instead.

I think you will find this inspiring, illuminating and more than anything I wish this will give you hope (if you are struggling with something similar).

Sending you much love & healing!!

XOXO,

Dorit

Hey Divas! 

Today on the show I am answering a question I received from a listener, we are going to be talking about how to stop acne or skin blemishes after getting off the pill.

One of the things I teach my mastery students is to balance their hormones and live in alignment with their feminine current. Because, guess what, when our female bodies are out of balance hormonally, many times you'll see symptoms like moodiness, pain, headaches, migraines, weight gain, and even acne.

Notice I said symptoms because they are only the symptoms and not the root cause, and since on this show, I am all about helping mothers heal their bodies from the core, I will be answering this question from a body-mind perspective. Meaning, I'll share with you the things you can do to help your skin topically, internally (in the form of food & supplements) and from a deeper psychospiritual perspective, looking into why your body is manifesting a dis-ease and the deeper healing message that comes from that.

All the links to any products or resources I am going to mention on today's show can be found over at my website www.healthbeginswithmom.com/ep-79.

If you're listening in real time, this week I'm celebrating my 35th birthday so I thought why not do a birthday episode and talk about 5 major lessons I've learned from my 35 years living on this planet.

I pulled out my journals, notes and brainstormed some more and my intention with this episode is to be fully transparent even if its embarrassing, so you can hopefully learn from my experiences.

Maybe some of the lessons I've learned will resonate with you and will help you sort through some of your own stuff or maybe not, that's ok, either way, thank you for listening.

All of the references I will be talking about today can be found over at the show notes my website healthbeginswithmom.com/ep-78.

Please remember to subscribe to the Health Begins With Mom Podcast and if you have a minute, I would love for you to leave a rating or a review for the show, in fact, this would be an awesome birthday gift!

So thank you in advance!

Today on the show I share an example of something hurtful my mom said over the weekend and how it affected my behavior and my food choices following that.

Food and eating are extremely emotional in nature and if we don't know how to control our thoughts  and emotions around this, we can easily find ourselves numbing with binge eating, excessive drinking, late-night eating, reserving to sweets and treats, etc, which only add to the negative feelings and perceptions of "not good enough".

From there it is a never-ending cycle of self-sabotaging and never feeling in control of your life.

Today I share five strategies you can use next time you are in a similar situation.

I would love to hear from you! How do you respond when confronted with negativity, criticism or judgment? 

Sending you much love & healing!!

XOXO,

Dorit

If you are a holistic mama like I am, you are constantly on the lookout for natural remedies to help manage die-eases that are just a part of your mom/family life.

A new epidemic that I see happening is - overwhelm, burnout, stress (mostly emotional) and anxiety experienced by mothers that are attributed to the challenges of motherhood that is affecting our health big time! 

There are so many things we have to juggle, like - keep these kids alive, feed them healthy, parent them with love and respect, give them a good education, keep our marriages alive and vibrant, manage our households efficiently and realizing that we don't really have control over most things is a huge trigger for many of you.

In most cases, taking care of yourself not only feels luxurious but also selfish and unrealistic, there's just not enough time in a day to do it all, right?

We all know what it feels like to be running on empty and not giving ourselves any time to refuel and replenish.

I get it. I am a mama as well.

Today on the show I am interviewing Jane Barlow, an herbalist who owns and runs Barlow Herbal Specialties. She lives in Salt Lake City where she enjoys hiking all over the mountains of Utah and teaching fitness classes. Jane loves everything natural, holistic, wellness, fitness, and nutrition oriented and believes it is our right as humans to be vibrantly healthy and that if given the right tools our body knows how to heal. She believes that each of us is responsible for ourselves and the love, joy, spiritual and physical health that we experience. Jane has two grown sons and two grandchildren.

Here's what we cover:

The definition of adaptogens

Which top three adaptogens are best for women who experience burnout, stress, overwhelm and anxiety?

What is the one herb we should all have to help our kids heal faster from any viral and bacterial infections and how to administer them?

Should we be taking adaptogens infinitely?

How to know which adaptogen is right specifically for you?

Are supplements necessary?

And much more!

Here's what we cover:

* What's the purpose of coaching?

* before and after coaching

* the difference between hiring a coach and learning from books or online programs 

* how is investing in myself helped to enhance our relationship, parenting, and showing up for our lives?

Hey Divas! 

So many of us have an all or nothing mindset when it comes to healing our bodies or achieving major health goals. 

"I hate the taste of water so I can't increase my water intake"

"I don't have 20 minutes to meditate, so I won't"

"I can't afford to go to the gym, so I can't exercise"

Remember that perfectionism is the killer of progress and in order to feel successful you need to break your goals into small chunks and "eat them up" slowly and gradually.  

Think about this for a minute.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Why? Nothing major or significant will happen after the first or second day you eat this apple. But over a long period of time, this apple will indeed help you to keep the doctor away. 

Alternatively, what will happen if you eat a Hershey bar a day? Nothing major will happen if you eat it today or tomorrow. But, if you eat it every single day, the effect of this on your health will be huge! 

Today on the show I walk you through 5 steps you can follow to help yourself achieve your health goals and actually stick to them. 

Enjoy listening!! 

Xoxo,

Dorit
