Today’s special guest is Cassie May, a plant-based Nutritionist Coach from Roseburg, Oregon. Cassie’s mission is to inspire, motivate, and energize us through her love of cooking.

5 years ago, Cassie had ulcers lining her large intestines that caused her to be sick and in constant abdominal pain. After many doctor visits, she decided to change her diet and started following a plant-based diet that changed her life forever.

Cassie is on the show to teach us how to level up our nutrition and the way we think about food. She’s also going to talk about converting a school bus into a stunning home, a project her and husband are working on and should be completed by the end of the year. Tune is as we discuss all of her upcoming projects and so much more.

Yoga Instructor, Certified Reiki practitioner, and Certified Crystal Specialist Megan Cannon joins us to talk about how she took the leap from the corporate world to become an entrepreneur as a Yoga instructor and creator of Moon Malas by Megan.

Megan started Yoga to help her cope from the day to day work life balance. After some deep thought, breaking down a lot of walls, and finding a teacher who helped her meditate by introducing her to a mala bead necklace, she took the leap to complete her 200 Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) at Urban Yoga in Phoenix, in 2014. She then completed her 300 hours in YTT in 2018.

Her mala business came to life in 2015 while also receiving her Reiki Master Practitioner Certification and becoming a Certified Crystal Specialist. By adjoining these two practices she helps work through emotional blockages in the mind and body.
