Hey there, Warriors! Welcome back to another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. You’ve probably heard the saying, You Are What You Eat, and I believe that is very true. Food matters and food is medicine, and we need to be mindful of the food we eat that fuels our beautiful bodies. My next guest, Meridith Coyle, decided to follow in her family's long history of revolutionizing the food industry. Growing up, her parents owned over 28 restaurants bringing trends from all over the world to their area.

Meridith has owned and operated Main Line restaurants, markets, and catering companies for the last 30 years. She is not only still active in these companies, but she is now writing and teaching people around the country how to take their own health back through their diet and lifestyle. Her shops, Aneu Kitchen & Juicery and Aneu Catering are award-winning take-out markets, breakfast and lunch spots, and beautiful event spaces based on comfort foods made healthy. 

Certified in whole food cooking and integrative nutrition, Meridith gets to use her love of food to help people succeed in their health goals through a comprehensive approach to a healthy lifestyle. She enjoys helping individual clients, speaking to major corporations, and planning her future in helping people navigate the ever-changing landscape of food.

Check out ANEU’s website www.aneucatering.com to learn more about their delicious food, place an order online, and find out how to get a copy of Meridith’s cookbook, "From Our Kitchen to Your Table". You can also visit Aneu Kitchen, Juicery & Market located in Paoli, Pennsylvania, or their new location opening soon in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Welcome back, Warriors! Spring has sprung, and like me, I hope everyone is feeling a sense of renewal with the world slowly opening back up again. And along with this comes a feeling of hope and joy and growth. My guest today has dedicated her life to helping others grow and be the best people they can be.

 Character, integrity, optimism, and a great sense of humor. Add to that a unique ability to inspire and motivate others. That’s what makes a great leader — and how to describe Marci Piasecki. Her down-to-earth and energetic personality has earned her the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike. From the bottom to the top of the corporate ladder, Marci never stopped making herself available to everyone from the junior office staff to the board room.

Now, having made the transition from her 30+ year career in Healthcare Advertising to Certified Professional Coach, Marci’s work focuses solely on her favorite subject – people; helping her clients realize their potential, purpose, and passion, all while nurturing her own.

We would love to hear what parts of our amazing conversation resonated with you.

Also, don't forget to leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts. We’ll see you next week for another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast.

Welcome back, Warriors! As always, I am so grateful you chose to spend your time listening to the Suburban Warrior podcast. Today’s guest is Shauna Reiter, the founder of Alaya Naturals. Alaya Naturals is perfect for anyone wanting to dive into alternative dietary changes and live an overall healthier lifestyle. Their annual revenue is $6 million with over 100,000+ customers and a team size of five.

Born with an autoimmune condition that suppresses her white blood cells, Shauna spent years battling oppressive ailments. When her beautiful children arrived, they brought tremendous joy into her life, but her immune system had its own agenda. Sleepless nights and depleted energy threatened to disrupt her time with them and derail her larger goals. She knew that her body needed healing. So began Shauna’s journey into the world of superfoods and the creation of Alaya Naturals. It has been a long road as she researched, tested, and perfected their products, but the effort was well worth it. Today, she is stronger, healthier, and more present in all areas of her life.

Shauna is offering my listeners a 20% discount on any Alaya Naturals purchase from their website by using the code SUBURBANWARRIOR20 at checkout www.alayanaturals.com. You can also purchase Alaya Naturals products on Amazon.

Hey there Warriors! Welcome back to another episode of Suburban Warrior podcast. Just like many of you, I am always on a health journey, looking to learn more about the newest holistic health treatments, what foods to eat, and the best workout routines for my body. Today’s guest is here to tell us about a natural healing modality that is available to us and our kids, Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, also known as CFT. Kim Sherlock is a licensed massage and bodywork therapist from West Chester, Pennsylvania. She was personally trained by Dr. Barry Gillespie, the founder of CFT, and has specialized in this therapy for over a decade. Kim teaches CFT throughout the US and internationally as a partner on the CFT Global Team. She has also trained in Myofunctional Therapy, which helps correct dysfunctional oral patterns including mouth breathing, which may cause various health and aesthetic issues.

As part of CFT therapy sessions, Kim educates parents with innovative information for the optimal health of their children. She believes that if parents know this information when their children are infants, many health and dental issues will be avoided. 

To learn more about Kim and to discover if CFT can help you regain your health & vitality, visit her website www.KimSherlock.com

What’s up, Warriors! My next guest is here today to share her impactful story with us. We are discussing a topic that needs to be talked more about openly, mental health. Kirstin Day has more than 18 years of experience as a senior executive in the fashion industry in New York City.  She is a mom of two, an avid equestrian, and a lover of art and music.  Mental health has always been her passion, since struggling with an eating disorder, depression, and anxiety in her teens. In 2012, she combined her business experience and interest in helping others to form Strength is Beautiful, a platform and series of educational programs for children, teens, their parents, and industry professionals about eating disorders, mental health, and their effects with a focus on promoting health, confidence and positive self-image.

Kirstin has spoken to a wide range of audiences including speaking multiple times at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Jefferson Hospital, as a keynote speaker at the NEDAcon National Conference, and to patients and stakeholders at The Renfrew Center’s various locations. She also speaks at local organizations including The Junior League of Philadelphia, The Saturday Club, Lower Merion High School, The Agnes Irwin School, Open Connections School, Senior Leadership in the Radnor School District, and the YMCA. She has been interviewed for an article in Savvy Mainline, been a guest on the Transformational Storyteller Podcast, and was most recently a keynote speaker for the Minding Your Mind organization.  Kirstin believes that our society needs to be talking more openly about mental health and it is her mission to do just that.

Welcome back to this week’s episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. Our next guest is a true survivor and in my opinion, the epitome of a Suburban Warrior! My dear friend Tracy Coyle is a survivor and warrior for many reasons.  First, she has survived being my “ride or die” for the last 24 years.  We met the very first day of school, freshman year in college, and have been friends and sisters since.  After college, like many others, she headed to NYC to fulfill her dreams.  She worked for Morgan Stanley in one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the World Trade Center.  Little did she know, just a few years into her career, she would survive something more horrific than any of us could imagine, the 9/11 attacks.

Fast forward 20 years, and she once again had to face another attack. This one was with a breast cancer diagnosis. I am beyond thrilled that my best friend in the world is here today to share her story of survival with us. Tracy is a wife, a working mom to 2 amazing daughters, and has beat cancer in the last year. I can’t wait for everyone to hear her story and how keeping a positive mindset has helped her get through it all.

Connect with her on Instagram @tracywcoyle and on Facebook @Tracy Werther Coyle. Follow me on IG @_suburban_warrior and leave a comment on what you thought of this episode. We’ll see you next week with another Suburban Warrior story.

What’s up, Warriors! Welcome back to the Suburban Warrior podcast. As a mindset coach, I think about how every little action in life we do matters. How every single thing we do on this earth matters. My guest today has truly made it her mission to help make the earth a better and cleaner place for all of us. Gwenn Nolan is the founder of Mother Compost, a composting service that began operation on the Main Line of Philadelphia in 2018. 

As a wife and mother of 3 children, Gwen knew how much food her family was wasting by throwing it in the trash. This never sat well with her and she felt compelled to do something about it. So in addition to her full-time job, she started Mother Compost. Through service and education, Gwenn and her team empower members of the community to make sustainable choices. Mother Compost makes composting simple for those short on time or space. Gwenn also enjoys speaking at schools & businesses to spread the word about the benefits of composting as well as teaching practical composting basics to help home composters.

You can learn more about Mother Compost by going to www.MotherCompost.com. She is also on Facebook @MotherCompost and Instagram @MotherCompost, and if you’re local to the Philadelphia area check out Mother Compost’s subscription service and start composting!
