This week we hear from Tania Moraes-Vaz,  who is an Author, Editor, Creator, Entrepreneur, Mom and Wife. 

Tania takes us through her journey of being diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), having her first child, Post-Partum Depression, and becoming a Business Owner.  She speaks about returning to many of the traditional remedies of her South Asian roots and turning inward to begin healing on every level.

On this weeks episode we dive into all kinds of amazing mind, body connection and healing topics as our guest, Pooja Thaker,  takes us through her journey with anorexia, a diagnosis with an intestinal disease, integrative medicine and back to joy!

Pooja is a pharmacist who went the unconventional route by transitioning to become a “farmacist”: one who dispenses spiritual wisdom, wellness tools, and mindset coaching to help women return back to their joyful selves again.

As a health coach she now has an understanding of the mind, body, spirit connection and a PASSION: to help women achieve true health again, to help them return to the joy they had as a child and to help use spirituality and a positive mindset to truly LIVE LIFE!

This is a big episode talking about big issues. 

I had the pleasure of chatting with Christina Whelan Chabot from Matters of Movement.

Christina teaches holistic movement instruction using the principles of Pilates and the Franklin Method™.  She believes that, "Movement is not just exercise, it is influenced by science, the arts, history, societal norms and expectations, health and diet, socio-economic status, emotional and mental health and finally circumstance (pregnancy, age, career, parenthood). Knowing this, she takes into account the individual needs of every person and considers the person, as a whole of many parts."
