  • Ep 31 - Getting Your Momjo Back with Liat Kerbel Horovitz and Carolina Rzeznikiewiz Co-creators of Momjo
    I remember when I first became a mom I was super motivated and excited, full of stamina and grit, and I've put all of myself into mothering and parenting. Then, when baby #2 come along I kinda got the hang of it all and realized that this is not exactly what I've envisioned in the beginning. Rest, fun and true joy were pushed to the side and the "responsible me" kicked in to do the work, whether it is parenting my kids or my day to day job. But what happens when you work at a place that drains and sucks the life out of you? If you are surrounded by negativity, drama and small talk all day long, or if you realize that you do work that is not inspiring or really important in the world? Or what if you have a soul ache that calls you to explore more of yourself, try something new and find your true purpose?
    On top of all that, every day you come back come to crying babies, needy kids, homework, dishes, laundry and a husband with his own needs? How do you think this woman shows up in her life as a mother? Will she enjoy her children? Will she be able to see them for who they truly are without projecting her own discomfort onto them? How would this woman show up in her marriage? Will she be able to enjoy her sex life, explore more of her sensuality and body with her partner? How will she show up in her life? Happy and joyful? Or bitter and miserable?
    For most of us, this looks like overwhelm, chronic stress, we feel like we want out every single day, some of us even regret we did this to ourselves n the first place. It's hard, it's challenging, uninspiring, and soul-sucking. So many women I work with feel like they have to suck it up, put their big girls pants on and keep going. They must do what they need to do, wait it out and then, 18 years later, MAYBE things will change. Sometimes this becomes really dangerous as this void in the soul is literally manifested as a disease in the body. None of us wants that, of course. But what do you do? How do you change? Can you change?
    I think the first thing we must realize is that this is a choice. Every day is a choice. You deserve this, you are worthy of it and you are enough. You can either live your life on auto-pilot or choose to seek out ways to thrive as a woman, wife and a mother. This is exactly what we are exploring, together, on this podcast and in the THRIVE Mastermind for Conscious Mothers who are ready to make a difference in their lives with regards to their health, wellbeing, relationships, marriage, and parenting. Show up for yourself because you are worth it! 
    Today I have a fun interview with two mamas, Liat and Carolina, co-creators of the Momjo movement which is all about inspiring, empowering, motivating and entertaining moms. They both have three kids, like myself, and I love their fun, honest and vulnerable YouTube videos targeted at moms like you and I and, calling us to embrace our passions, curiosity, and individuality.
    I love their style, humor, vulnerability, and glow but most of all I love the fact that they are my neighbors and I actually got to hang out with them once in the playground with our kids! So cool to be able to hug these women in person! We've had some issues with the sound but I think our conversation was so juice and interesting so I decided to launch it anyway.
    So without further ado, here's my interview with Liat and Carolina!

  • Ep 30 - How To THRIVE Even While Your Child Is Being Diagnosed With A Disease or A Scary Health Condition?
    Before we get into today’s episode I have an announcement. I am opening the doors for the first time to the THRIVE Mastermind Program for Conscious Mothers.
    Does raising small children mean you have to suffer through it one day at a time, or can you actually THRIVE and enjoy my life as a woman, wife, and a mother?
    The answer begins with a decision.
    The decision that your health matters, your well-being matters, you are worth it and deserve to feel good. This is the best thing you can do for your daughter who will one day model you.
    Imagine how that would feel like to see your daughter modeling so naturally what you had to work so hard for?
    This is what you will learn in the Thrive Mastermind For Conscious Mothers
    So what does it mean to THRIVE as a woman, wife, and mother?
    It means to feel safe and in harmony inside your own body.
    It means to understand how the body works, how your digestive system and metabolism work.
    It means figuring out what is your chronotype and utilize sleep to support your health.
    It means to live in alignment with your menstrual cycle and hormones.
    It means to cultivate emotional mastery and learn how to regulate your big emotions.
    It means to find what it is that you want to do with your life, how you want to feel and courageously design the roadmap to get there.
    It means to know how to feel good about your sexuality and optimize joy and pleasure.
    More than anything, It means embodying womanhood. Feeling really good in your own skin, and hopefully, pass that on to your daughter.
    If this sounds like something your soul has been craving, this is your chance. I only accept serious women into this program, only women who are serious about making a change in their lives. Women who are done surviving and are ready to THRIVE!
    Fill out this application and let’s see if we are a good fit.
    You deserve to feel good! 
    I am committed to guiding you and holding your hand with love, compassion, and sisterhood, but also to kick your booty when needed.
    By filling up this application you are not committing to anything, other than giving yourself permission to be curious and ask if this is something that can help you show up in your life as a better mother, better wife, and better woman.
    Alright, let’s jump into today’s episode.
    Seeing your child going through a hard time is heartbreaking and uncomfortable, that’s for sure. Remember the first time they got sick or had a fever? They look so miserable and you simply have no idea what to do or how to cope with this. I remember the first time my older daughter had a febrile seizure, which was the worst thing you can imagine, and if your child had it, you know what I mean. The shaking, the foam that comes out of their mouth, and then after it passes the next thirty minutes of them being completely immobile or like they’ve just had an out of body experience, which if you think about it actually is true. As parents we freak out, we lose control, we feel helpless and useless especially when you are faced with the bureaucracy of whatever health care system you are a part of.
    Trust me, I’ve been there many times, I understand how that feels.
    Today I want to talk to you about something I am currently faced with which definitely feels like the most difficult time as a mother, wife and just overall in my life as a human being. Two of my kids have been diagnosed with scary diseases/health conditions which is heartbreaking, scary and dead on uncomfortable. I can’t say this is easy for me, or that I know what I’m doing. What I can share with you are the three things I do in order to stay sane and cruise this season of our lives in the most smooth way possible.
    I work with mothers and daughters and I see them struggle with something all the time. A struggle is a part of the process. Growth is only possible when we overcome some kind of struggle in our lives, only then it feels as though you have mastered whatever you are faced with. I love this quote by Eckhart Tolle, who i

  • Ep 29 - EverlyWell's At-Home Lab Tests With Dr. Marra Francis
    Here's a phenomenon I see repeating again and again with the women I work with, there is this almost unconscious and complete co-dependency between women and their healthcare providers. We believe these health care providers are Gods and as if they are not humans we outsource our wellbeing and health to them willingly almost entirely.
    I say this because if you want to THRIVE as a woman, you have got to take back control of your own health, whether it is by educating yourself, consulting various practitioners across the board whether through conventional or alternative medicine. Do whatever you need to do in order to see yourself as an active player fighting in the arena for your health.
    I am not saying that you shouldn't be consulting with a doctor if you feel needed, what I am saying is that you need to understand that no one can heal you other than you. No one will show or lead you to a better health if you are not willing to do the work.
    One thing that doctors do routinely in a conventional setting is to request lab tests and many women complain that after these tests return normal they are left in a painful situation. Physically, you still don't feel good, but your lab tests don't show anything abnormal. What do you do?
    One thing I recommend to women is to try various at-home lab testing to see if there is anything they can discover that the regular laboratory couldn't pick up. I think this is a great way to complement the labs that your doctor ordered and involve your health care practitioner in figuring out the root cause of your health challenge.
    Today on the show I am interviewing Dr. Marra Francis who is the medical director for an at-home lab testing company called EverlyWell. Marra is a Board Certified OB/Gyn practicing since 2003. In her clinical practice, Marra's focus is on women who are high risk for cancer either because of genetic mutations or family history, and the goal is to try and reduce their risk of developing cancer in the future. Marra lives in Texas with her husband, their 6 kids, and two dogs.
    Here's a little information about the company: Founded in 2015 by CEO Julia Cheek, EverlyWell is the next generation health testing platform that provides at-home lab testing kits with beautifully redesigned results. This is the only company offering a suite of regulatory-compliant, physician-mediated lab tests that can be ordered and collected by consumers without leaving home.
    With the exception of STD testing, EverlyWell’s tests provide personalized information and education to the consumer; they are not intended to diagnose any disease or condition or to substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
    Knowledge is always power - knowing more about your body gives you the power to make changes to better your health.

  • Ep 28 - You Are More Than Who You Think You Are!
    You are not who you think you are! As women, we tend to think less of ourselves and belittle our talents and abilities for whatever reason. We often say "I am not good at this", or "I will never be able to be or have that". Today on the show I talk about how we are constantly lying to ourselves and leading ourselves to live less than optimal lives. I am not interested in surviving through this life, I am all about THRIVING!

  • Ep 27 - A Healthier More Radiant Skin After Years Of Acne With Shelby Ondrus
    Here's something you probably don't know about me, back in my teenage years I had terrible acne. It was so bad I couldn't even wash my face without popping a pimple or two and to this day I have scars all over my face because, yes I did pick my skin. Thank goodness, my mom is a cosmetologist and routinely cares for my skin now that I'm older. But in my younger years, the struggle was real for me. I felt unattractive and not beautiful which, now that I think about it, was a total waste of my life force and energy back then.
    My mom did say that my acne was getting worse because of my addiction to fried foods (I loved chips, fried chicken, basically anything fried seemed delicious to me at the time). I, of course, chose not to listen, and frankly, the thought that food had anything to do with my skin sounded ridiculous to me.
    My mom, in an effort to help me to ease my pain, and of course to ease some of her own discomfort, took me to the doctor who immediately put me on a birth control pill. Now, I'm gonna be honest, it did work. As long as I was on the pill (and I was on it for five years) my acne cleared out completely, however, once I got off the pill, not only did my acne came right back, but I also gained weight, had an insatiable appetite (again for sweet and fried food) and grew hair on my face and body and in other weird places. At the time I didn't know what the heck was going on, but now I know that my hormonal system was out of control. I have been off the pill for 12 years now but I still work on balancing my hormones and clearing out my skin. 
    One of the things I found super helpful, along with eating foods that support the liver and help the skin, is to have a dedicated skin regimen which includes regular cleansing and moisturizing the skin. Usually, oily skin will be prone, so it's important to use the right skin care and the right habits in place in order to support your natural beauty and glow.  
    If you have been struggling with oily but dry or dry to oily skin, redness, rosacea, eczema and other skin issues you're going to love this episode. 
    Today on the show I am interviewing Shelby Ondrus, the creator and formulator of Shelby Naturals which is a natural skincare line and she specializes in skin care products for acne-prone skin. I think you are going to love her, she's super knowledgeable not only about clean skin care but also about nutrition and other things natural. We talk about the right foods to support your liver, gut, and skin, and other lifestyle changes you can in order to have a more radiant and glowing skin. If you are interested to try Shelby's products you can use the promo code Dorit15 to get 15% off your purchase price, I think you are going to love them!

  • Ep 25 - Helping Children with ADHD To Thrive, with Guest Nindy Grewal
    According to the CDC, which is the centers for disease control and prevention, "approximately 11% of children 4-17 years of age (6.4 million) have been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2011 and this number continues to rise each year. Why is this happening? Can the reason for it be hiding in the food system? Is it possible that, unknowingly, we, parents are feeding our children foods that are adding to the problem?
    Having a child with behavioral issues is really not a joke and extremely difficult and challenging. My intention behind this podcast is to expose you to a slightly different way of thinking. What if we could see our children and the challenges they bring as a spiritual growth opportunity for us? What if I was chosen to parent this child not randomly, but because I have the wisdom and answers within me that are needed to guide this child through life? How does this perspective change your attitude towards your child? How would your parenting style change? How would your relationship and connection to this child look differently if you allow yourself to stay open and receptive to something different? Hopefully, this ignites some curiosity within you.
    Today on the show I am interviewing Nindy Grewal who is a mother two, a Holistic Nutritionist, a Clinical Iridologist and a Live Blood Cell Microscopic Analyst. Prior to working in the holistic health field, Nindy worked as a teacher, and currently focuses her practice on helping children with ADHD, Autism, delayed learning and behavioral issues. Her work is dedicated to empowering children, parents and teachers work together and help those children to thrive and succeed.
    Here's what we cover:
    Why are more and more children struggling with attention, focus and other behavioral disorders?
    What are some of the conventional treatment options available for these children today?
    How does Ritalin work? How does it alter the brain chemistry?
    What can mothers do to help their children using food and nutrition as the preferred therapy?
    Which foods can parents include in order to help children with autism?
    How can we support children with ADD/ADHD in the school environment?

  • Ep 23 - Healing From Grief After A Miscarriage Using Essential Oils With Guest Katie Williams
    Hi sweet mama, and welcome to Health Begins With Mom Podcast, I am Dorit Palvanov your host. I've created this podcast for all of us women who are in the trenches of raising little human beings, struggling to feed them, support them emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our children need us, and we need them, but I think one of hardest things in this process is to realize that the most challenging work of motherhood is to raise ourselves. The hardest thing to do is not to be a mother to them, but to mother yourself. I refer to this process as "adulting", which is realizing that even when times are hard it is our responsibility to show up as an adult, ask for help when needed, stay connected to other people who are going through a similar experience, but no matter what please, DO NOT SUPPRESS your emotions, do not numb yourself with drugs, alcohol, food or other external things. We all struggle, we all go through hard moments, and it is definitely understandable that we need time to heal and retreat, but at the end of the day life goes on, and we need to figure out how to be able to not only function and survive during these hard times, but also to thrive as a woman, as a wive and as a mother. My intention with this show is to create space for all of us, to learn from each other, and to always know that we are not alone!
    I love featuring women and mothers who have been through rough times and helped themselves or the people around them heal with some sort of holistic modality or alternative medicine. Today I am talking with a mama who has been through a heartbreaking loss of one of her babies and her story of pulling herself out of the darkness using essential oils.
    Katie is a mother to 6 wonderful children, including one true angel. She is married to her best friend and wishes she lived in a musical. Katie has extensive experience in multiple energy healing techniques including The Emotion Code, The Body Code and in using essential oils to help regulate emotions. Katie is passionate about helping women work through their difficult suppressed emotions and setting them free. Her mantra is: Control your emotions, Control your life!
