Fuel Life Podcast

🌟 What if we can turn our moments of self-doubt into moments of belief?

This week we have another special guest who represents those on the Autism spectrum! Meet Coffee Squirrel (name on stage) and how she has become stronger and an better advocate for herself.

" Many people struggle with an image of themselves that has limitations, rather than stepping into their own personal power and creativity. If I could go back in time and tell my past self something, I would tell them that even though something is difficult, if you just believe in yourself, you can go for it. Also, with the right mindset and training you will believe in yourself more — anything is possible”

We have special guest from the dietetics and nutrition space joining us this week! In this episode you'll learn get to hear about Lindsay's journey towards a healthy relationship with food and how to connect with intuitive eating.

" I believe that food is about so much more than just nutrition. Although I’m super passionate about the power of food to fuel and nourish our cells from the inside out, true “health” requires mindful incorporation of practices for Physical (Body), Mental (Mind), and Emotional (Soul) wellbeing"

What if we could improve our mental wellbeing by nourishing our gut AND including our cultural foods?

What does it look like to feel confident in your everyday food choices and fully trust your body's cues to guide you? We are excited to welcome another podcast guest from the dietetics space, Jenn Baswick @the.intuitive.nutritionist from the east coast of Canada! Connect with Jenn on this episode as she shares her own story of turning dissatisfaction with food and the body into purpose-filled moments of intuitive eating, mindfulness and peace with food:

" It took me several years until I was able to really connect with myself, realize my worth, and understand that food is not the enemy. I believe that intuitive eating, mindfulness, embodiment, and gentle nutrition are the keys to becoming your healthiest and most authentic self. I want to show you how you can incorporate these practices into your life so that you can finally improve your relationship with food and you body and live your most aligned life!"

Sahsa's Fuel Life story as a co-founder

"My personal promise to the world is to advocate for our most vulnerable and entrenched community members, and to speak up for disadvantaged groups who feel like they do not hold much power in society. I promise to use my knowledge and passion to empower others and help them realize the strength in their uniqueness and adversities.”

What does it mean to advocate for accessibility and resiliency?

We are excited to meet with another special podcast guest, Abby Sienko! In this episode you'll learn about Abby's Fuel Life Story and what she has learned from herself by being a part of different communities:

-Being a part of the LGBTQ+, Looking Glass Foundation communities and beyond

-Having both the client and health professional perspective

-Advocacy for destigmatization and inclusive environments

-Self awareness and listening in a more relational way

"I believe in advocating for change within a society that stigmatizes mental health and marginalized individuals/communities. We need to learn to focus on a strength-based approach, empowering and supporting those most vulnerable. To be vulnerable shows tremendous strength, determination, and undiscovered truth about oneself."
