If you ever worry about what you should be eating, or how you should be living to be a healthy human, this episode is for you! We begin with the tragic story of how guest Brian Sanders of Food Lies lost both his parents, to alzheimer's and cancer, nine years ago. Even though they were people who followed all the mainstream guidelines. This started him on a journey of discovery about the root causes of modern diseases. This led to the simple solutions related to diet and lifestyle, which he shares in today's episode.

Things Brian Shares:

• What broke the matrix for him two years ago (I’ll give you one guess)

• Why there's a whole half of the world out there who the mainstream doesn't talk about (you’re not alone)!

• How the pillars for being a healthy homo sapien can help you to thrive

• Why our dietary guidelines are so very wrong

• The three refined ingredients to avoid

• Towards the end, How we can feed the world.

• And heaps more...

Do you find it hard to ask for help? I know I do, which is why I am both nervous and excited to share today's podcast episode!

Did you know that more than 90% of podcasts fail before reaching 10 episodes?? Well, this is episode #10, and here we are, going strong! Episodes and guests lined up, including Zach Bush, The Holistic Psychologist, Brian of Food Lies, Amber of Mythic Medicine...and it's only the start!

Thanks a bunch for an amazing first 10 episodes! Here's to the next 1000! See you again next week, looking forward to hearing from you.

Society's current economic systems are harmful for you, your loved ones and all of life on earth…but maybe you’re stuck in a job you don’t believe in, working for an extractive company just to make ends meet? Maybe you feel trapped because you need to afford supporting your children or family?

Thankfully, today’s guest, Mariah Gannessa, is a mother, co-founder of Four Visions Market, and seeker on the medicine path. She shares her experiences in aligning herself with indigenous medicine ways, sacred commerce, creating a business that is ‘beyond fairtrade’ and so much more.

In this episode you will discover how you can reconnect with the abundance of nature and align yourself with a reciprocal way of living.

Mariah shares:

1. How Four Visions Market uses 'sacred commerce' and why it is 'beyond fairtrade'

2. How we are birthing a new paradigm where we can all thrive

3. How motherhood is the fire under Mariah's butt to 'get up and keep going' in creating a new reality

4. Near the end, Mariah shares a spur of the moment blessing for the listeners of this podcast, which gives me tingles every time I hear it

There is so much practical inspiration in this episode. No matter what stage you are in your journey, there are steps you can take…little things which will create big ripples of positive change.

I’m your host Nathan Maingard and, as a highly sensitive person in a profoundly sick society, I was nearly crushed by my efforts to fit a mould our society just calls ‘being a good citizen’. Now I help people like me to feel, heal, and grow a beautiful world using gentle breathwork, empowering songs, stories and poems, and 1:1 sessions...as well as this podcast.

And now, please enjoy this heartwarming, inspiring and empowering episode with the delightful Mariah Gannessa.

Were you one of the outcasts, the weird ones, the so-called ‘overly sensitive’? Did you crush, deny or hide your authentic expression to fit into the box our society just calls ‘being a good citizen’? In this episode I share something a little different...

This is a brief and vulnerable introduction to me, your host Nathan Maingard. How I arrived at this point of sharing the We Are Already Free message with you…and some of the stumbling blocks I tripped over along the way.

I hope this episode will help you to realise that your healing is not only possible, but inevitable...if you do just one thing. But I'll leave that for the episode...

Have do you ever felt overwhelmed by how many ‘bad things’ are going on in the world right now? Today's guest, artivist (art activist) Roaman (otherwise known as 'the kundalini guy'), will remind you how to notice the good things in front of you, why you might be missing them right now and how you can 'stay open to life'.

In this episode, Roaman shares

• How an angel reminded him to ‘stay open to life’,

• How trying to sell a car taught him about missing what is right in front of us

• How ‘even when things seemed to be falling apart, they were actually still coming together’

• And many more inspiring stories...

Towards the end of our conversation, Roaman shares the three foundations, or mantras, that he uses in his life. I love the simple wisdom of what he shares, so be sure to listen out for that.

There's a problem with mainstream medicalised birth. Whether you didn't know that, or even if you already know you want to birth your children outside of the mainstream birth system, today’s episode is for you.

It’s a confronting, challenging and ultimately empowering look at medical birth and the alternative known as free birth. Emilee Saldaya is a founder of the Free Birth Society, which helps tens of thousands of women around the world to birth the way humans have done forever. They also train women in the radical birth keeper school, run an amazing podcast and a whole lot more.

Emilee’s experience and harrowing stories from working in the mainstream birthing industry give her a deep understanding of how humans are being ‘born into captivity’ through mainstream birthing methods.

May this podcast episode with Emilee Saldaya educate, inspire and empower your relationship with the miracle of birth.
