In today's powerful conversation I'll be chatting to a good friend of mine, Pip, on the topic of addiction in young adults. Pip was generous enough to share her story with me on how she overcame her own addiction using exercise and spiritual practises, particularly the practise of yoga.

We also got chatting about how alcoholism seems to have become normalised in young adults and is often treated as some sort of strange initiation into adult hood creating unnecessary peer pressure and an unhealthy idea of "normal".  We need to swap the guilt and shame for empowerment and support when it comes to addiction and I hope this conversation is a small step towards that.

I really hope this series empowers you to recognise your bodies for the incredible vessel of life force energy that it is and inspires you to deepen your relationship with your own body and mind - that really is the first step to optimising your health and wellbeing, AWARENESS.

Today's powerful episode is something a little bit different. An incredibly inspiring woman and good friend of mine, Jo Hainsworth, has written an incredible piece on copper toxicity, explaining how it can occur and how many women across the world are suffering with the effects without even knowing it.

Jo has been learning everything she can to support herself in recovery from severe PTSD, and along the way has found that she can use the knowledge and tools she's learnt to help others out on their journey. She is retired and spends some of her time acting as a voluntary health educator, connecting people with the resources they need. She is driven by the desire to get the resources that she didn't have earlier on her journey into the hands of those who could use them now.

 In today's powerful conversation I'll be chatting to Wintergreen, an instructor of both the Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko breathing method as well as a Naturopath, Founder and Director of Common Knowledge Trust and developer of Better Birthing skills where Wintergreen has worked with hundreds of mothers and fathers to learn the skills to cope through the process of both pregnancy and giving birth. The Better Birth breathing skills work to make a mother look back on their baby’s birth with pride and empowerment and feel in control during the process of giving birth.

In today's episode we dived into the topic of birth breathing and how, by learning skills, women can  cope, manage, work through, deal with, handle stay on top of and feel in control of their birth experience no matter where their birth occurs, who is present, the personal circumstances or what happens and to the birthing woman during her birth. Wintergreen's extensive experience brought such thought provoking insights on the topic of birth breathing and really highlighted the importance of awareness when it comes to taking autonomy over your own body and mind.
