Radically Thriving

Today on the podcast we are talking unmedicated birth with a dear client who has had two home births in the last 13 months. She speaks of the importance of faith, surrender and preparation for a birth that leaves you empowered and confident.

She also talks about how much you can benefit from the blessing way and our postpartum support as well! And we didn't even pay her for marketing!

You are powerful, you can trust yourself and your body.

TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss sexual assault, rape, trauma, sex, and masturbation in this episode. Listen to it away from young ears, and skip if any of those topics are triggering.

Today on Radically Thriving we have the passionate, amazing, magnetically beautiful Caitlyn Dale. We met because she's a teacher at my yoga studio, and I fell in love with her soul.

We discuss her history with trauma and healing, her recent heart break of splitting with her partner, her SA history and how breath work helped her heal.

Caitlyn also walked us through a little teaser of breath work session midway through the episode. Please don't do this while driving. Take note of the time of the episode and give it a try at home with us!

You can find Caitlyn on instagram at @yogi.dale

She also teaches at Kure Yoga in Ingersoll, and you HAVE to try one of her breath work workshops!

Today is your favourite ADHD style all over the place podcast!

We talk about our cycles class coming up, where we are at with our training lately, psychology and random questions.

In today’s conversation, we are introduced to Laura McLennan, biologist, nutritionist and owner of Health Scope here in Dorchester.

Now she serves women using live blood analysis, we chat all about what this is, and what it isn’t.  How it is used and why she loves it so much.  Hint: Laura is all about getting to the root of a problem.

In her journey, Laura also found metabolic balance, a lifestyle and way of eating that has people coming back to themselves.

Sarah chats with Laura today about her own struggles with tiredness and brain fog and after this pod, Sarah is going to Laura’s lab/office to get her finger pricked to see what’s lurking in her blood.

Today Sarah and I catch up, reflect, talk about perimenopause of course and the lack of research for women's health, and then list the 5 things each of us love doing for our health right now:

Broken down here they are:

1: exercise/movement

2: sleep

3: protein

4: supplements

5: community, routine, and prioritizing self

When we meet with new clients we get to hear their stories of conception, and often are saddened by the experiences of people with infertility, PCOS, and endometriosis.

We KNOW not enough research is done on women's health, and we see first hand how that affects all of us. We need to demand better. We need to make change. But we all need to understand from a young age that we WILL have to advocate for our own health.

Find a better doctor.

Demand the tests you want.

Learn your cycle, and understand nutrition.

Build a team of holistic experts to reach out to and lean on for health care support.

Andrea is a Dietician, and a Holistic Nutritionist. She is a wealth of information about how important it is to manage your stress, sleep, and gut health to help regulate your hormones.

Your hormones affect EVERYTHING. And if your stress, sleep and gut are off, your hormones are wonky, and you will get symptoms. Some are big, some are small, but some are life altering.

Take your health into your own hands, and start to understand how your body functions optimally.

In the wise words of Sheryl Crow: A change will do you good.

We're in a changing season. We are growing, adjusting, tending to our soil and trying to grow into beautiful perimenopausal dahlias. LMAO.

Today we talk about our health journeys, perimenopause, our trip to Sedona.
