We are SO excited to have Stacey Bootsman who is a nutrition specialist who focuses on real life sustainable nutrition.

Let’s be honest, typically you hear “Nutrition Coach” we’re conditioned to think ‘weight loss’ and though that can be a noble goal, is it REALLY what you’re looking for??

Stacey, Mel and I (AshVal) chat about real life tips and tricks to eat to be healthy AND enjoyment! Yes, those two things are not mutually exclusive. Stacey has such a refreshing approach to food and how to integrate healthy habits you’re gonna want to bring a notepad!

Want to connect with Stacey?? Check out the links below

See you all in the episode!

Much love,

AshVal & Mel

The 9 Year Cycle

What the heck is that??

So glad you asked ;)

Dan Millman wrote a book called “The Life You Were Born To Live, A guide to finding your life purpose” and in it he uses numerology (based on your birthday and year) to help give you insights into who you are. In the book he also talks about a 9 year cycle, and this particular cycle starts on your birthday, so not calendar new year, bday new year.

In this episode Mel n AshVal reflect on their current year and what's coming down the pipe as both their birthdays are coming up aaaaand this time of year is great for reflecting.

Here’s the themes for each year so you can check out where you’re at and where you’re going. To determine what year you’re in take your birthday month, day and current year and add up each number. Here’s an example, AshVal is Jan 30, so 1+3+0+2+0+2+1= 9, so she's' in year 9 this year, for her upcoming birthday the math would be 1+3+0+2+0+2+2= 10 (1+0=1) and she’s going into year 1

9 Year Cycle Themes:

Year 1- Creativity and Confidence

Year 2- Cooperation and Balance

Year 3- Expression and Sensitivity

Year 4- Stability and Process

Year 5- Freedom and Disipline

Year 6- Vision and Acceptance

Year 7- Trust and Openness

Year 8- Abundance and Power

Year 9- Integrity and Wisdom

Much love,

In this episode we chat with Gail Hogarth (who has been working in mental health for 15 years) all about TRAUMA! (ps, Gail has her Masters in Social work and is a wealth of information!)

It's a topic that is sort of vague on it's implications as trauma is so relative to the person experiencing it, and there is NO hierarchy on trauma so what do we do with it??

Gail breaks down brain function, why anxiety inhibits our ability to function properly and some starter processes and interventions on how to heal from our traumas.

This could easily become a 50 part series, but for now, here's part 1!

Thank you so much for joining us and be sure to share this with your friends and drop us a message on IG or Apple!

Much love,

How do you know if you're actually healing?!?!

Great question....seriously!

It's one of those things that can't be measured or quantified so how can you "prove it"
