Curated Conversations Podcast

Buckle up ladies, and let's get comfy. Today's guest is Kelcy Valletta, the Founder of Find Your Sexy. As a certified Self-Love & Confidence Coach and Host of the Find Your Sexy podcast, she believes our self-esteem and confidence are directly affected by the relationship we develop with our physical body and the mindset we learn to cultivate with our sexuality. After recovering from an eating disorder, surviving a quarter-life crisis, and escaping an emotionally abusive relationship, Kelcy set out to take everything she had learned and help other women stand strong in their worth. Through her dynamic coaching and intimate conversations with podcast guests, Kelcy helps women embrace who they are, just as they are NOW, so they can walk through life feeling sexier in their own skin. All women are sexy, and self-love is rad… and those are two things that should be celebrated every single day.

Umm. Yes please. Listen in for the following conversation:

1) How creating a safe space to own your sexy is super important for all women!

2) That we need to give attention and care to understanding how to love ourselves.

3) How, when building a business, that paying attention to what lights you up AND where a needs to be filled (find that niche!) are two incredible superpowers when combined.

It's the 3rd episode in our second podcast limited-run series and we continue to take the deep dive with a personal trainer and Parkinson's and Neurological Disease Specialist, Heidi Weinberg. In this series, we are interviewing 4 of her clients that she is working with on their personal journey with Parkinson's. You won't want to miss this series, which is incredibly insightful and inspiring, hearing from folks whose lives have shifted due to a diagnosis beyond their control, and how they are taking back their lives.

In today's episode, we are chatting with guests Fran and Cindi Herman, a married husband and wife couple who are working hard to provide Fran with the best resources possible, as he works with not one, but two diagnoses of Parkinson's and dementia. Today we chat about the journey a couple undergoes when a challenging medical diagnosis is delivered, and you'll be inspired by their determination to help Fran in any way possible, working with Heidi being one of those avenues. We also chat about the emotional journey of getting a dual diagnosis (which are more rare), during a time in which the couple is retired, and looking forward to traveling and other adventures. Tune in, as their journey may help you or others you know!

A retired teacher of 30 years of experience and a mom to 2, she is on a mission to help guide parents on how to teach their children to be their authentic selves through confidence, independence, and acceptance.

1) How after retiring, Cindy started a brand new business, utilizing all the skills she had learned and acquired over the last 30 years of teaching - and then turned that into her superpower to help families.

In our final episode with Dr. Livengood (we can't believe how fast 7 episodes flew by!), we talk about something we are personally obsessed with here on the Artisan team: essential oils (EOs) and the byproduct of that, plant medicine. Essential oils are plants, as you know, but just in a highly concentrated form, and their uses are millions. Literally, oils are a concentrated extraction of plants, which do different things depending on what you need and have been around for a really long time!

In today's episode, we talk about aroma vs. therapeutic-grade EOs, carrier oils for dilution, processed vs. organic, and the overall health benefits of EOs. Everything from headaches to muscle soreness to colds to immunity to cleaning your home to shampoo to ... and the list goes on. We cover it all. Bonus! Dr. Livengood offers what is known as a Rain Drop Therapy program in her office, and it's literally the best! A super relaxing treatment, utilizing 8-9 EOs which help the immune system fight off germs, this therapy also causes the muscles to relax and calm, and everything is specific to the spinal column and nervous system (using a reflexology system). Learn more about everything here in our final (for now!) episode, and thanks for listening in to this limited series run!

Oh, goodness! But this is a hot button item right now (and not new to the discussion). Today we talk about all things toxins, and while this can be overwhelming to hear all the ways we are getting them thrown at us, it's also a super inspiring episode about the small and simple changes you can make to protect yourself and your loved ones! First off, we chat about the harmfulness of pesticides and GMOs and how pesticides are linked to cognitive and degenerative diseases like Parkinson's.

Not only do we talk about what we ingest and take in (think physically like our food, water, environmental factors), but also the emotional and mental toxins out there. How do we speak to ourselves? How do we allow others to speak to us? Where do we set emotional boundaries?

Finally, we round it out with what the body does with toxins (for this, think poop, urine, tears, period, etc.), and what YOU can do, small and easy ways to detoxify your body and home. Not one to miss!

It's a long-standing discussion, the benefits of Eastern Medicine vs. Western Medicine and the beauty of being a naturopathic doctor is that they often blend the best of both worlds, working to ensure patient success on every level. In today's episode, we will be diving deep into the differences and what they could mean for you, depending on your individual and unique needs. Western medicine tends to be more "insurance-based," where the patient is paying to fix a problem (which can be necessary and acute), but it's not necessarily paying to feel your best or investing in your long-term health.

Eastern medicine which has been around for thousands of years, primarily stems from Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. These include methodologies such as acupuncture, plants, herbs, yoga, and working with your Chi/Prana.

Did you know? The world, up until about 120 years ago, utilized only plants for medicine? That's right! It wasn't until a guy named Bayer in Germany distilled down some plants for Aspirin (willow bark, primarily) that we had a revolution in the science of medicine.

We know you want to listen in, so grab a seat, or take a walk, and we'll deep dive together!

We all know that our brains start to decline around the age of 65, and then again at 75 and the earlier we start to do some preventative work, the better! Sudoku? Yes, and also, a few other things, because you can catch cognitive decline early and work to counter it. Some of those early warning signs include the following: difficulty following storylines, difficulty completing tasks, loss of sense of direction, not knowing where you parked, family history, and repetition of statements or stories.

Luckily for you, this is a passion area of Dr. Livengood and she is chatting today about not only brain health, but a brand new program that can help anyone who both sees those early warning signs, and those who want to work against them as early as possible. Her brain health program helps too, with things such as the prevention of diabetes, protecting against hypo and hyperthyroidism, obesity, and cardiovascular problems.

So grab that Rubik's cube, and listen in!
