Cue Marjan, a certified Nutritional Practitioner that specializes in blood sugar balance. In today's episode Marjan helps break down signs and symptoms of unbalanced blood sugar (yes, your migraines, mood swings, anxiety and low energy could be signs!) and what we can do to get it back in check.

Sleep... It turns out it's real important.

So many of us are sleep-deprived. Whether you are a shift-worker, have nighttime anxiety or just general restlessness, being under-slept can have a pretty disastrous impact on your health and wellbeing.

It's not all bad news, though. We welcome Chelsea De Colle (CNP, specializing in sleep) to the podcast to discuss the importance of sleep, the effects from not having it, supplements that might help and how to improve your sleep hygiene in simple, easy-to-do steps.  We talk about whether or not you can "catch up on sleep," how being sleep deprived can make you feel, and why we need to hold our sleep sacred now more than ever.

Sleep well :)

You're likely hearing the word "burnout" more often these days—and for pretty obvious reasons.

In today's episode we discuss what burnout looks like, feels like and how the collective 'we' can manage it and, hopefully, reverse it.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge that you need support.

Today on the podcast, we are talking about therapy. We've both come up against the resistance of accessing therapy; it's hard to let down the walls that we've built up for so long to protect ourselves.

We share our experience with that resistance, including what we love about it and how it feels, what we've found challenging and how it's changed us.

We know the first step can be overwhelming, so we also break down how to start the process of getting therapy (how to find someone and reach out to them) and what the first session might look like.

At the end of the podcast we share what we are currently loving right now—including Janette's "bluces" (???).

Do you ever look back on your life and think about all the events and circumstances that had to happen to make you who you are? Sometimes looking to the past is scary and for many of us, we avoid it.

This week we invited Jasmine Price to the table to discuss creative living, mental health, and working on social media as a full-time job. Jasmine's perspective of the wellness space online is refreshing and her openness about her life and mental health is something that we can all benefit from.

In this episode Jasmine helps us take a peek behind the curtain of content creation for social media. She shares with us the pros, the cons, and how she balances her need to create while also supporting herself. She reminds us that following your passions can open doors that you never knew existed.

You will hear in her voice that Jasmine has a calm, centred, presence, and she deeply cares for those around her.  She is incredibly open about her past and practices deep gratitude for the life events that have made her who she is today.

This conversation is a great reminder to explore all the facets that make you who you are and to not be afraid of looking to the past. We have all experienced going through hard times, and Jasmine is a wonderful example of using her past to fuel her future.

Happy 2022??

Time flies in the pits of chaos! Today on the podcast we warmly welcome you back with a new segment with various recommendations of what we are currently loving (entertainment, habits, lifestyle and more). Then we gracefully switch gears and zip into a discussion on the big C that rocked Catrina (and so many others!) over the holidays (in a really not fun way). We talk about her experience and what helped her ease her anxiety and get through it. We also offer some advice on what you can do if you are fearful of contracting COVID for both physical and psychological reasons and Janette shares some nutrition/supplements to help you along.

Do you find bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics and sounds like sirens overwhelming? Do you tend to notice subtle changes in people's body language or behaviour, recognizing how they might feel before they do? Do you find yourself burnt out after busy weeks, needing to withdraw to recover? 

If you answered 'yes' to any of the above, you, like the both of us, might be a Highly Sensitive Person. Coined by Dr. Elaine Aron in 1996, HSPs are a subset of the population high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity.
 
In today's episode, we deep dive into life for us as HSPs; discussing the history, the difficulty and beauty of being Highly Sensitive People and tips to manage and avoid sensory overload.

On today's episode, we are joined by Hannah Seraphim. She's an author, editor, sound meditation practitioner and loving cat-mom. Hannah is also a thyroid cancer survivor.

We discuss her experience and journey with health trauma and how she developed a deep trusting in her own intuition, inner strength and voice—all of which ultimately led to her writing her first novel, Citrine Horizon. We talk about the importance of reconnecting to the Self and each other—and how  embracing our humanity, creativity and vulnerability can lead to true healing.
