Living Your Yoga - embodied wisdom with Shirlee Williams

My guest today is Tosca Reno. 

Multiple challenges have beset Tosca's life, but it’s also a testament to the value of resilience and the rewards you can achieve with hard work and determination. 

After Tosca lost both her late husband and stepson subsequently, and amid despair, she turned to yoga, spirituality, healing weekends, plant medicine, and writing workshops to rebuild her life. Through this journey, Tosca discovered the Three E’s of Wellness, explored the depths of her resilience, and undertook a new commitment to model it for women everywhere.

This process of rebirth provided a new foundation for Tosca's career. Today, she is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and experiences to help others on their path to healing and personal growth.

In today's conversation, we talk all about staying away from numbing experiences when facing trauma, why we require the contrast of happiness and sorrow, life lessons that happen FOR us and not TO us, letting go of the victim role, and so much more. Tune into today's episode!

My guest today is Health & Success Coach Leah Van Dolder. 

Leah's journey in nutrition began with her first Bachelor of Science degree at Nipissing University in North Bay, ON, where she developed a passion for the impact of nutrition on the body, both physically and mentally. To further her knowledge in the field, Leah pursued a Bachelor of Science Honours Specialization in Nutrition and Dietetics at The University of Western Ontario in London, ON, which led Leah to complete her Dietetic Internship at Hamilton Health Sciences. Her first job was working on the SaxendaCare program, where she provided coaching for individuals taking doctor-prescribed weight loss medications. Later, Leah joined the St Joseph's Bariatric Program, where she worked on medical weight loss and provided outpatient surgery support.

As a member of the College of Dieticians of Ontario and the Consulting Dieticians Network, Leah focuses on weight management and understanding the psychology of eating behaviours. She finds satisfaction in helping clients become mindful of their eating habits, debunking nutrition myths, and empowering them to say yes to themselves without feeling guilty or stressed.

In today's conversation, we talk all about what it means to be in the flow of life, keep promises with yourself, find the time in your schedule to get shit done, bridge the gap between intention and reality, and so much more. Tune into today's episode!

If you have been listening for a while, you'll know that one of my favourite ways to end the year is to reflect on the highs and lows of the past year.  What I've accomplised, some mistakes I've made, how I've grown...I love it all. In order to move foreward we must first take a look back! Let's go on a journey through 2023 together.

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

I have a returning guest today, my friend Ashley Lougheed.

Today, we're talking about Ashley's new venture as a published author. In Writing HERstory: A Memoir Featuring 18 Women and HERstory, Ashley Lougheed uncovers the power of women’s stories, and they are more alike than different. Regardless of dark or light times, the female experience is universal. We know the pain of trial and defeat and have faced internal and external challenges. We’ve experienced catcalls, sister wounds, impostor syndrome, and limiting beliefs. But we also know how to solve problems and how to dig deep into ourselves to find our grit. We know the power and truth of women supporting women and recognize the value of leaning on our soul sisters for support.
 
In today's conversation, we talk all about how connected we all are, the role that self-worth plays in all of our lives, why we rely so heavily on the stories of others, and what's next for Ashley - there's no stopping her! Tune into today's episode!

My guest today is my dear soul-sister, Dr. Laura Foster.

Today's conversation is a co-creation that Laura and I have put out into the world.  It's an important conversation about being enough, having enough and all the things in between. 

Laura grew up looking at entrepreneurship as a male-dominated experience, as many of us do. She finished her BSc and began her chiropractic education, where she surrounded herself with male role models. This masculine energy followed Laura everywhere she went. At work and at home, the lens she viewed the world through was analytical, ambitious and assertive.

Laura believed that in order to be successful in life, she had to lean into her masculine tendencies and shun her feminine energy. As a result, she rejected a powerful part of herself. As life would have it, eventually, the Universe led Laura back to the gift of her feminine superpower.

She now understands how to be a courageous leader in her feminine self. She knows in her bones that women all over the globe are ready to awaken their intuition, own their gifts and claim their soul-aligned path.

Tune into today's episode.

My guest today is Melanie Huestis.

As an Energy Alchemist with a big heart and a mouth to match, Melanie's all about radical self-acceptance, getting real about what’s not working in your life, and doing the deep work of transmuting your mess into your magic. She has a straight-shooting approach to supporting and inspiring you in turning your ugliest stuff into the soul-level magic you’re craving.

The most important thing to Melanie is authentic human connection. It doesn’t need to be pretty, but it needs to be real. She walks her talk and lives her life the way she teaches—with passion and fuck ups and grace and so much love.

In today's episode, we talk all about what exactly an energy alchemist is, where to start if you feel you've given away your power, knowing what you want and knowing that it may not happen right away, and so much more. Tune into today's episode!
