I had SUCH a great time chatting with Masha on this episode of the Sarah Explains It All Podcast! We talked all about how to become the best version of ourselves and some tips to help us along the way :) Below are some of my favourite quotes from the episode:

*'Take the time and effort to do things for yourself.'

*'It is important to remind yourself of what you thought was fun before.'

*'Nature can be such a good teacher to teach us how to be present and be still.'

ABOUT MASHA:

Masha Borisova is an expert, certified, holistic health coach and an ex yo yo dieter herself who shifted through an array of sizes during her adulthood, tried different diets and methods which led to her finding what works for her. As a result, it improved not only her image & health but her relationship with herself. Now it's her mission to help other women just like her, who are ready to ditch the hamster wheel of diet culture so they can feel sexy in their clothes, confident in the bedroom, and love their reflection no matter what.

Masha is a visionary leader in the world of health and wellness, transformation enthusiast, diet and exercise culture myth buster, proponent of body neutrality movement, and as she says, 'I'm not your healer or guru, YOU ARE!’

People know her as the health coach who doesn't believe in counting calories, prescribing meal plans or pushing through at the gym and instead empowers women to discover and enjoy what works for them, while building her dream home in Colorado with her partner and their two pups.

She says: "What you might not know is this: The best version of yourself is not necessarily the skinnier, more toned, tan, younger, cellulite-free. The best version of yourself is the happiest one. Focus on that and everything will fall into place'

Fertility challenges are more common than we realise-'1 in 8 women (1 in 6 in Canada) suffer a fertility challenge. And those are the ones that speak out.' All of us probably know multiple women who have had struggles with their fertility, and we probably know even more who never spoke out. Monica is a straight-talking, no-nonsense Functional Fertility Coach who will help you get to the root cause of your struggle and help you to heal your body so that you too can go on the pregnancy journey. This is a fantastic, easy-to-understand deep dive into her journey with fertility struggles and how she healed her mind and body and came out on the other side with 2 beautiful boys. Some of my favourite takeaways are:

*'Pregnancy isn't a sign of health.'

*'How can the rest of your body regenerate but your eggs can't? It doesn't make sense.'

*'I'd like to say my drive to become a mother was what pushed me but, if I am honest, it was the people telling me I couldn't do it.'

*'When you see your little wins, that is what keeps you going.'

Join me as I chat with my dear friend Aina about how nutrition and positivity and one chat with me helped to guide her onto her newest passion-The Nutrition Gateway.

Some key takeaways:

'I fell out of love with it-I couldn't, for the life of me, explain why people should or couldn't make lasting changes.'

'My journey has been to discover what those missing puzzle pieces were.'

'I have the tools to create good moments for myself regardless of whatever situation I find myself in.'

'When you start to feed yourself well for the right reasons, you will cultivate self-love.'

ABOUT AINA:

Aina is a multi-passionate 34 year old & child-free lover of life with a background in holistic nutrition, yoga, recreational diving, hotel management and moving from place to place more than she originally planned.

Her mission is to live the best life possible -in mind, body and spirit- and to inspire others to think twice about the impact everything we do, say, think, eat, buy & throw away has on our lives and the world we live in.

Aina believes developing self awareness, and healthy eating & thinking habits is the gateway to a full life; full of energy, full of enriching experiences and full of meaning. And that’s exactly what she supports her clients in doing.

It has been pretty quiet on this podcast, hasn't it? In true, 1/3 Sacral ManGen fashion, I got bored and need to get re-inspired again and I had one interview that did JUST THAT. The podcast has now changed direction. I am here to share stories and journeys, to shine a light at the end of the tunnel, and to give hope, ultimately, to create a community and a village. We need that. We need to hear other stories to know we aren't alone in whatever journey we are on.

Laura is a mama, yoga teacher, and movement enthusiast. She has an affinity for practices that promote body literacy and yet it still took her almost 20 years of menstruating to learn that there was more to her cycle than simply being on her period or off. Her mission is to shortcut that timeline for menstruating women everywhere so we can all access the potential embedded in our cycles and show up the way we want to in the world.
