✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Each episode of Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess invites you to think differently about what it really means to heal. We separate fact from fiction, uncover what’s often overlooked in modern health conversations, and bring truth to the surface through evidence-based dialogue and lived experience.
In this week’s conversation, Leslie Butler Barron joins me to explore how art, movement, and cultural exchange sustain vitality across a lifetime. Through her global journey as a dancer, choreographer, and educator, Leslie reveals how immersing yourself in new environments can transform your understanding of health, creativity, and connection.
Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.

🥗 FEATURED RECIPE
Mediterranean Millet Salad with Roasted Vegetables and Olive–Lemon Dressing
A bright, grounding dish that reflects Leslie’s global artistry and balanced approach to nourishment. The mix of roasted eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper with fresh basil and pistachios offers digestive support, circulatory balance, and a reminder that vitality grows through diversity—on the plate and in life.
🌿 HERBAL SPOTLIGHT
Basil
Traditionally used to support digestion, circulation, and mental clarity, basil helps the body release tension while improving focus and calm. It is especially helpful during times of transition or travel. Add fresh basil to salads, soups, or teas to anchor the body and uplift the mind naturally.
