Your body isn’t overreacting—she’s responding wisely.

This episode of The Daily Practice with Benita invites you to shift your health, vitality, and hormonal balance through mindful choices in clothing, cookware, personal care, and home products—without perfectionism or fear.

✨ Inside this episode:
 • How natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, and wool support hormone balance by avoiding endocrine-disrupting synthetics
 • What research reveals about polyester underwear and reduced sperm count in men
 • Safer cookware swaps: ditch Teflon and aluminum for cast iron, stainless steel, and ceramic
 • The hidden dangers in conventional cosmetics and fragrances—how xenoestrogens build up in our systems
 • Non-toxic cleaning swaps that work (and cost less long-term)
 • Why your period care matters: the hormonal impact of synthetic tampons and pads
 • How one simple swap a week can rewire your relationship to health and embodiment
 • Why creating a hormone-friendly, energetically clear home is self-love in action

This is where ancestral wisdom meets modern science—and where true healing begins with what you wear, eat, breathe, and bathe in.

I explore three controversial statements: "You can never be too rich, too skinny, or too tan," and why there might be deep truth in these seemingly provocative ideas. Through examining our relationships with wealth, food, and sunlight, I challenge conventional wisdom and invite listeners to reconsider limiting beliefs that may be holding them back.

• True wealth isn't about hoarding but having abundant resources that allow freedom and eliminate financial worry
• Material possessions that bring joy and elevate daily experience are nothing to be ashamed of
• Having a healthy relationship with food means honoring your body's true needs rather than restricting
• Intermittent fasting can provide spiritual benefits beyond physical appearance
• Our bodies evolved to benefit from sunlight, which provides vitamin D and boosts metabolism and mood
• Many fears around sun exposure have been manufactured by corporations selling sunscreen products
• Natural approaches like wearing protective clothing or consuming chlorophyll-rich foods can enhance sun protection

Remember a good practice is the one you do. Follow me on Twitter/X (Daily Practice with Benita) for more insights, catch my YouTube practice videos every Friday at 7am, and tune in for podcast episodes each Monday at 10am Mountain Time.

🌿 Tend to the Part of the Garden You Can Touch
Episode 2 – Daily Practice with Benita

What if your healing could begin with just one breath?

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Jack Kornfield’s reminder to “tend to the part of the garden you can touch”—a deeply grounding principle for staying centered in a world that often feels chaotic, overwhelming, and out of reach.

You’ll learn how small, embodied practices can regulate your nervous system, restore inner peace, and gently shift your energy from survival into presence.

✨ Inside this episode:
 • Simple breathwork and somatic practices to calm your body
 • How social media + the news hijack your nervous system
 • Why external chaos often mirrors internal disconnection
 • The neuroscience of mindfulness: calming the amygdala, activating the prefrontal cortex
 • Letting go of urgency + saviorism through grounded self-responsibility
 • Tiny daily rituals that create lasting, embodied change
 • The power of digital detox to reconnect with real life
 • Why tending your own inner world creates ripple effects

Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed by the state of things, this is your gentle call back to center.

 A No-Shame Invitation to Reconnect with Your True Self—One Day at a Time

Ever feel like you've lost connection with your true self? Like you're carrying baggage—physical, emotional, energetic—that's weighing you down? I've been there, carrying everything from childhood trauma to addiction, disordered eating to toxic relationships.

The Daily Practice podcast isn't about perfection or performance. It's a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself every day, to become more of who you truly are and less of who you're not. No guilt, no shame—just consistent, loving attention to your authentic self.

My journey from neglected child to drug-addicted young adult to thriving yoga teacher and mother taught me that transformation happens through daily, intentional practice. Whether it's yoga, meditation, journaling, weight training, or simply conscious breathing, these practices gradually strip away what doesn't serve you and reveal the radiant being underneath.

Women especially benefit from understanding their cyclical nature rather than forcing themselves into linear, masculine patterns. Your birthright is pleasure—to be wild, powerful, joyful, and playful. When we honor our natural rhythms and creative potential, we access wisdom and vitality that transforms not just our lives but ripples out to everyone we touch.

Each week, I'll share practical tools for establishing your daily practice, exploring topics from Ayurveda and biohacking to feminine cycles and spiritual awakening. Because remember—a good practice is simply the one you do. And when you forget or fall away from it, the practice is simply returning, without judgment, to begin again.

Subscribe now to join me on this journey of reconnection, where showing up for yourself becomes the most powerful gift you can offer the world.
