Dr. Morris received her Doctorate in Cancer Care and had been working in the field for years, until something changed in 2016, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer herself.

In this episode we learn about Amy’s journey of what it is like to be diagnosed with and live with cancer, and what it is like to recover and THRIVE after cancer.

Not only that, we see and learn how she took her experience with the disease, her education, and her tenacious personality, and made it her personal mission to support women where the medical establishment leaves them behind. She is the Founder and Clinician of the Cancer Freedom Program, a step-by-step approach to complete cancer recovery.

With a disease as prevalent and important as this one, this episode is for EVERYONE. Amy graciously helps us understand how to be the best ally for anyone in your life who is living with cancer and so much more.

Thank you for being here and thank you for listening!

Greer Frances is the Creative Director, Brand Strategist, and CEO of her own f*ck!ng company I AM GREER FRANCES.

Greer takes a different approach to a design and branding business, where lot of her work is focused on bringing her clients into alignment with their brands, making sure she holds space for the person, so they are able to follow their own knowing and intution.

In a world of Canva templates, Greer understands that building an iconic brand you love requires DEEP work 💣

What starts as a very informative look into Greer’s entreprenurship journey, including TONS of practical advice for building a personal and iconic brand, turns into a deep, introspective look into the fast-paced, get-rich-quick, course-porn, online entrepreneurship world.

We also talk about not needing to “Niche Down” (but still know who you are talking to!) and embracing your multi-passionate side. Greer is vulnerable and invites us into her journey as it relates to helping others navigate the same difficulties she has faced in life. Also, I may or may not squeeze some free business advice out of her as well 😉

Themes discussed: Truely knowing yourself, being seen, hiding behind a brand, people-pleasing, non-reactivity, and much more!

You DO NOT need to be an entrepreneur to get something from this episode!

Join me and my first guest on the POD, Jess Baker! I first met Jess when she was teaching a spin class at the gym I attend, and I was immediately moved by her energy and passion. After following her on social media for some time, I just knew I needed to speak to her. I was not wrong.

Jess hails from Thunderchild First Nation, and is passionate about being an inclusive movement motivator, working with urban and rural indigenous communities, and has a powerful transformation story herself.

We talk about the link between movement and mental heath, her fitness/movement journey, her work with the indigenous community, the medicine wheel and how it informs balance, and we even touch on her (new-ish) alcohol-free lifestyle and the positive changes that have shifted for her. Some other themes of interest are, people-pleasing, interconnectedness, and vulnerability.

I know you will learn a lot from Jess and this episode. Thank you for listening!

Not your typical episode! This week, instead of a concise episode with actionable steps, I felt compelled to do something completely different. It is a recorded on the fly, un-edited, account of my musings on manifestation. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to use it to be honest! Which I even say while recording, LOL. But after a re-listen, I feel like there is a few nuggets in here worth of starting a conversation. Please know these are not finished concise thoughts, rather an invitation on how I understand manifestation and how you can harness this to build your dream life. As always, take what works, leave what doesn’t.

Some themes discussed/explored:

Worthiness

Knowing your Authentic Self

Focused attention on what you want

Adaptation

Co-creation

Thank you for listening!

In today’s episode I dive deeper into what happens to women’s bone and muscle health as we age and how we can support this through resistance and strength training, and how this can be done in MANY different ways. I go through a quick exercise to help you determine your goals, making sure that they align with your values and family system, and how you can incorporate them into your life. I do not tell you WHAT to do, rather I give you a framework in which to THINK about movement and fitness routines as it relates to your unique life.

I love you. Thank you for listening!

Part storytelling, part commentary on the Netflix series “Nobody Wants This”, and part practical strategies, this episode is meant to make you feel that you’re not alone, and that you are NOT “Too Much”.

We talk about:

1. What does “Too Much” even mean?

2. How society is still suffering from the masculine dominated mindset and how to embrace your feminine qualities

3. People Pleasing vs Authentic Self

4. How to tap into your Authentic Self

5. Practical Strategies for living in alignment

This topic is near and dear to me. I have lived thinking I was “Too Much” for too long until I started to break the societal curse that got me there. I get pretty deep into some personal examples of this in my life and yes, once again, I cry on the podcast.

As always, a life worth living is not one that we let pass us by, but one that we CAREFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY CURATE.

Thank you for listening. So much love to you!

Hello gorgeous, and welcome to my elysian world. A place where the Millennial Girlies come to be empowered to curate a high-vibe life through science-based health and spiritually-curious wellness.

Today we are talking about rituals, and how creating rituals is the simple practice of taking something that you value, and setting aside purposeful time and attention to it. In as simple as 15 min per day, or one hour a week, I explain how this one simple practice will propel you into the next level of your life by supporting your goals, dreams, and aspirations.

We go over:

1. What are rituals?

2. The NEUROSCIENCE behind why rituals can serve as a tool to free up mental and neural energy to work on the projects that light you up the most.

3. How to think about rituals when it comes to CYCLICAL LIVING.

4. What does it mean to connect with "source" or "self"?

5. Examples of some rituals that you can out into place today that won't take more than 15 min of your day.

As always, a life worth living is not one that we let pass us by, but one that we CAREFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY CURATE.

Thank you for listening. So much love to you!

〰️The Elysian Lifestyle Foundations〰️

In this episode I introduce you to the FOUR foundational health and wellness pillars that I’ve created for myself, and now for the Millennial Girlies, to lean into your most high-vibe life. 

I approach this as an INVITATION to a different way of thinking about your life. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t. 

I touch on what as little girls we’ve been always been told about our bodies, and how that’s affected our current beliefs about it.

I explore the themes of masculine and feminine energy and how to leverage both for a balanced life. 

I go over my guiding principles of: listening to your body above all else, embracing nuance, and being curious. 

I introduce you to my favourite four women changing the health, wellness, and longevity space.

Beyond just introducing the foundations, I take some time in the Nutrition portion to explain how Glucose, Fibre, and Carbohydrates are formed in the natural world (plants), what that looks like when we get it to our table, and the mechanisms in the body for dealing with them. 

AND SO MUCH MORE. This is a big juicy episode. Available now on Spotify or Apple.

Hello gorgeous and welcome to my elysian world. I’m Samantha Rae, a (trying to retire) sommelier with a passion and curiosity for all things women’s health and wellness. This is my personal, experimental mission to create a community of like-minded women who want to live a happier, healthier life, and feel incredible in their own skin.

Science-based health and spiritually-based wellness, specifically curated for women in their thirties and forties: I am here to share research, recipes, workouts, tips and tricks, mindfulness practices and much more, curated just for us.

I’m calling us the Millennial Girlies.

Anyone can be a Millennial Girlie. It’s a vibe, not a sex.

We love sexy dinner parties, imbibing in fine wine, last minute trips abroad, but also rigid self-care, health, time in nature, and connection with ourselves and our loved ones.

So what is “The Elysian Lifestyle"? It's a life that encompasses it's definition:

Elysian

Beautiful or creative; divinely inspired; peaceful and perfect.

It's for those who desire to more fully embody these qualities in their day to day life. A life worth living is not something that happens TO US, it is one that we CAREFULLY AND PURPOSEFULLY CURATE.

Please join me while we curate our lives, with a balance between science, discipline, and structure, paired heavily with whimsy, spirituality, and creativity.

Until next week xoxo
