I finally have Dr. Shayla Garland, ND on my podcast, after much deliberation and convincing. Shayla graduated a year ahead of me at CCNM but after we both graduated we became friends. She is a wonderful ND and very talented artist and skilled world traveller and expert free spirit. On this pod she will share her epic story that changed it all for her and gave her that secret zing of unbridled trust in the universe. 

You see, we all want freedom and happiness. We want to be free of our hangups and lack of self-consciounsess and self-doubt. We want to silence the inner critic and feel good physically, mentally and emotionally. But true freedom comes not from having the right things or having the right things happen to us--not from having control or having our stuff together, but from riding the waves of life and living with an open receptive spirit and being grateful for the gifts the life delivers. And Dr. Shayla is a mindset master (although she doesn't necessarily know it). She lives free of fear, need for control, criticism and doubt (for the most part, of course). 

So in the pod we hear her story and I psychoanalyze her so that we can learn her secrets and we give you a some tools to access that. We understand that sometimes life hands us a set of early experiences that set us up with a baseline of distrust in other humans and in the benevolence of life. We feel anxious and fearful. We have bottled up unprocessed grief or trauma. But how can we start fresh and move through life with the lightness of being that Dr. Shayla Garland possesses? Listen to find out. 

Shayla is a naturopathic doctor with a licence in Ontario (and soon to be licence in British Columbia).

In this episode Victor Cirone joins us for a third time, this time to talk about homeopathy.

He graduated with honours from the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine, and before that from Diane Kent’s program in clinical herbal medicine.

On the Good Mood Podcast we've spoken before of fascia. We've even mentioned lymph, but this interview with Nicole takes it to a whole new level. 

Nicole is a registered massage therapist with certifications in Fascial Stretch Therapy, Massage Therapy Body Mechanics, Reiki, Lymph, Performance Stretch Systems and Lifestretch. Her focus is on fascial stretch therapy and moving lymph. In this podcast we talk about fascia and its relationship to pain, trauma, fatigue and chronic health conditions and the lymphatic system. We speak about the mind-body connection and how somatic psychotherapy is the new talk therapy--trauma and memory is stored in the body: the lymph and fascia. In working with the body we often liberate these stuck emotions, stories and memories for processing.

Welcome to the 80th episode of the Good Mood Podcast! 

To celebrate I've created another epic episode: The All About Anxiety Masterclass. This episode encompasses: how to rewire your anxious brain, how to support OCD, how to ride the waves of your emotions for 90 seconds and how to recover from stress and burnout.   

This episode couples well with the other Masterclasses in this series: The Trauma Masterclass and The Nutrition Masterclass.  

I never thought people would listen to long-ass podcasts like this, but they are the most-listened-to episodes. So, I guess this means you're like me. I love putting a pod in my ears to take in information while walking the dog, folding laundry, driving or cooking. It gives my eyes a rest, and allows me to learn while moving my body.   

If you suffer from stress and anxiety or know someone who does, give this episode a listen or send it to your friends. These Masterclass podcasts are meant to be listened to in chunks, to have all your information in one place where you can digest them at your own pace.   

I really hope you enjoy it!

Your alignment habits can be stopping you from getting what you need out of your exercise: building muscle, preventing injury, and getting the shape you want. Alignment is everything. When I was a student I discovered the world of biomechanics: how the body is supposed to move, in alignment with the natural curvatures of the spine and angles of the joints. I learned about Katy Bowman, who taught me the way I was holding my arms stiff at my sides was preventing me from building tricep strength. 

Tracy Seider is an alignment coach who studied with Katy Bowman. More specifically she is peri/menopause movement and posture coach, helping you find joy in movement by focusing on the foundations: proper alignment of the skeletal system, bones and joints.   

When we are in alignment (physically and metaphorically) our joints and muscles work better. We experience less pain. Our nervous system can work properly. We are flexible, dynamic, fluid and robust.   Tracy and I talk about the difference between alignment and posture, how you need to align your body before you go for your daily walk, how 30 minutes of "exercise" will not outdo an entire day of chair-sitting, the nervous system (aka: how anxiety might lie with your tight hip flexors), why shoes are the devil, how to breathe properly and so much more. It was such a fun conversation and I feel Tracy and I could have gone on and on (especially about the shoe thing).   

Tracy is the creator of the Reshape Method a 12-week program that balances alignment, muscle-building, mindset, breathing and consistency to help women in their 40s find the movement patterns that help align their shape and health.
