This episode is a call to action for all solo-preneurs and heart led humans. If you’ve ever struggled in understanding how you can authentically bring more diversity, equity and inclusion into your business, brand and life, and if you’ve ever worried about how you’ll be perceived in doing this…Gwen and her special guest Erica Courdae are here to help.

Hear the story of Dr. Ellen Vora and how her sense of purpose as a holistic psychiatrist grew gradually and was sparked by a crystal card reading in Bali that helped unveil her gifts.

This conversation is rich with powerful insights about the current state of medical care and how true deep healing can be achieved with a holistic approach that aims to dust off our intuition. When Dr. Ellen was sick in med-school and residency she herself was given pills that caused more imbalance. She became disenchanted by the medical system that rarely asked “why” certain ailments came to be in the human body, and knew instinctively that the drug centric approach of modern medicine was not her calling…she came to her own realization that she could trust what she was naturally drawn to to find success and service to humanity. She says, makes you you is not a liability but rather is what you’re here to uniquely offer. Dr. Ellen teaches us about how to navigate the hidden harms of modern life and how labeling ourselves through a diagnosis can be disempowering. You’ll discover how a holistic approach is a powerful gift we can learn to give ourselves to break the shackles of whatever is holding us back in mind and body.

In this episode...

- how our immune systems are dis-regulated by modern life…and what to do about it

- how our gut is in itself a diverse community, …one that needs “tolerance training” to thrive

- learn why the digestive tract is our biggest interface with the outside world

- how we can create no-cebo effects in our food and negate nutrients by how we think about what we’re eating

- one of the best medicines available to everyone…and it’s free…hint: zzz

- what a holistic approach means and why it’s so important

- how incentives, kickbacks, funding and advertising revenue in the medical community compromises our immune systems

- how we can learn from the breakdowns and crises that we experience by visiting the wisdom of former versions of ourselves
