Not many people know about all the horrible and harmful chemicals that are in the majority of our make-up, skincare, beauty products, cleaning solutions, detergents, and even our water. Often we are more concerned with what we put in our bodies than what we are putting on our bodies. The fact is, it’s extremely easy to get overwhelmed with all the information out there and perhaps you don’t know where to start or what to sort through. On today’s episode of The Rebel Babe Cave Podcast, we start with an introduction into non-toxic beauty and what the looks like when implemented into our daily lives.

The importance of self-belief for badass women entrepreneurs can’t be overstated, but nobody tells us quite how to do that. It's up to us to find our own paths and fortunately, there are role models out there, examples of great women who are killing it that we can look to for guidance. Today’s guest is one such woman. Her name is Davita Parks and she is a wellness manager and fitness instructor at Life Time Athletic, a fitness entrepreneur who has fought to get to where she is each step of the way.

When it comes to personal wellness and holistic living, there really is no “one-size fits all” approach to take. Each and every one of us is different, whether it be our bodies, our mindsets, or even our personal capacities to deal with life’s challenges. The key is to truly know ourselves and identify where our choices are when creating a holistic life. Our guest today is Alexa Schuman, a holistic lifestyle expert, and certified integrative nutrition health coach and women’s health advocate who turned her own experience and passion for the women’s wellness movement into a collective space for new mothers to live holistically. Motherhood greatly shifted her mindset around the connection of our everyday choices to our well-being.

Anxiety and depression is something that many of us struggle with, sometimes without even knowing exactly what is going on. Today’s guest overcame her anxiety and adjusted her life to function at her best. Jasyra Santiago-Hines is a wife, registered nurse, reiki healer, podcaster, personal trainer, fitness instructor, nutrition coach, author, cannabis consultant, speaker, and social media influencer. She was born and raised in North Philadelphia, she obtained her Bachelor’s of Nursing from Newman University and her Graduate degree from Le Salle University for studies in anesthesia.

Today is a special episode – no interview or guest – because I am sharing a deeply personal story about my body. Since the age of fifteen, I’ve had a horrible relationship with myself and what I looked like, and after being labeled a “food addict”, I started on the dark path of yo-yo dieting and supposed quick fixes. For almost all my life, I have been measuring food, counting calories, working out obsessively, and sometimes even starving myself in an attempt to hit that perfect size. 

I have tried every diet and fad in the book, and when I came across an ad for CoolSculpting a few years ago, I couldn’t resist going for a consultation to see if this procedure would bring me one step closer to that goal in had in mind for so long. But what happened after the procedure is what really shook my world and pushed me further down the edge of self-hatred. This story has a happy ending though, so tune in to hear how I eventually forgave myself and fell in love with my body again. 

Many of you in the fitness and CrossFit space have heard of the BarBella Box, and today you get to hear from the owner and founder, the amazing Ella Ozery. Ella shares what her goals are for 2020, how last year was about finding her feet in motherhood while still juggling her business responsibilities, and why she loves her and her hubby’s decision to pack up shop and travel the globe for two months. There have been many questions about how our guests manage to balance work and home life, and Ella responds by saying that having a schedule yet accepting that things might not go as planned is key to thriving in hectic circumstances.

Our guest on the Rebel Babe Cave today is Thania Martin, a marketing professional, podcaster, and online health and fitness coach. Thania is on a mission to help busy corporate girls reach their fitness goals and find purpose and legacy outside of their nine-to-five jobs. She shares her love for business, fitness, and faith in the most relatable ways, and tuning in to this episode you will find out what it is that makes her such a strong, badass woman! We talk about the power of consistent daily habits, learning to give yourself credit and let yourself off the hook, working through insecurities and their detrimental effect on our relationships with other women, and why we’ve got to accept that we can’t control other people perceptions of us.
