Today we chat with Rachel Mark about stress, hormone health and how they are related. We also get deep into how you can use integrative medicine as a way to thrive in your life (even through the busiest seasons of life) instead of feeling like you have to put up with not feeling your best because 'that's just the way it is'. Everyone deserve to thrive and Rachel is here to discuss how we can start doing just that. She is all about taking realistic and sustainable steps to being the healthiest and happiest version of you.Rachel is the Co-Founder of Glow Integrative, Victoria's leading integrative health clinic focused on supporting women's health across the lifespan. Her clinical practice as a Registered Acupuncturist and Integrative Health Coach focuses on supporting women who are feeling stressed out, busy and overwhelmed, and experiencing a number of health symptoms. She supports people to connect the dots on their health and make lasting change.Connect with Rachel:www.rachelmark.ca

The Routine Queen Podcast turned 2!! This week is a look on the past two years which also highlights so much gratitude for each of you being on this journey too.

We also talk about what the podcast looks like going forward and the intention behind it all.

And! Today's learning and food for thought is what energy are you bringing to the table? Everything we do has an energy behind it. Are you aware of what that is? Kristin provides some insight as to how to recognize it and what you can do to shift it.

Today's discussion with Nicole Lee from Auria Wealth is one that goes well beyond surface level. We talk about Motherhood and figuring out who you are beyond the role, making a shift in your beliefs and thoughts in order to step into a more intentional life full of living into what you truly desire, taking control of your finances and your beliefs around money and how to make it work FOR you. Get comfy and let's dive in!

Nicole Lee is an entrepreneur, investor, and educator passionate about helping women createlives of freedom, abundance, and joy.

As the CEO of Auria Wealth and founding partner of Women’s Equity Lab—a North American angel investment network—Nicole brings a wealth of experience inbusiness, leadership, and reinvention.

After leading a corporate team through the challenges of the pandemic while supporting her teens through mental health struggles, Nicole decided to leave the 9-to-5 in 2021. Her experiences—rebuilding her finances after divorce,creating wealth in her 40s, and witnessing how often women feel disempowered around money—led her to co-create Wealth Academy. This transformativeprogram empowers divorced women to master their finances, build lasting wealth, and thrive.

Nicole has a knack for seeing potential in people and spaces. Her obsession with transformation fuels everything she does, from empowering women to reclaimfinancial independence to redecorating her home for the perfect feel (seriously). She’s about taking things from "meh" to "awesome" with her signature mix of warmth, empathy, and bold action.

With Auria Wealth, she’s on a mission to put more money in the hands of women—and to show them how fun (and life-changing) it can be.

Known for her grounded wisdom and transformational impact, Nicole inspires women to stop playing small and start designing lives full of purpose, abundance, and joy. She lives in Victoria, BC, with her partner, two of her three kids (the eldest has flown the nest), and her small but mighty dog, Buddha. When she’s not mentoring or speaking, she’s likely looking for the sun or diving into her nextpassion project.

This week Kristin shares her opinion (unpopular opinion as it may be), that you don't need a vacation to recharge (even though yes.. vacations are, indeed, heavenly). You can feel recharged in your every day life with a bit of awareness, curiosity and intention.

This episode is for those who are tired of living each day as if it were groundhog day, feeling depleted and wanting to feel more fulfilled.

This is your life... now how are you going to choose to live it? :)

Building a strong foundation of your healthy daily habits is key to coming home to yourself. What does that even mean?

It means figuring out what makes you feel your best (rather than focus on external factors/people to make you happy and feel good) and there WILL come a point when doing the things doesn't feel hard. They actually feel refreshing.

How do you get there? With time, consistency and intention :)

Get comfy and join us this week for a powerful discussion with Eileen March as we talk about Rest (and how it IS possible to incorporate it into our everyday life), seasonal and cyclical living, and what it means to be a slow living Witch.

Eileen is a speaker, mentor, podcast host, and slow-living witch. Through her unique blend of intuitive coaching and wild medicine energy healing, Eileen gently guides women & female-identifying folks home to themselves and into relationship with the cyclical energies of their bodies and the earth so they can begin to rest without guilt, step into their power, and create the life they truly desire.

After a much needed break from recording, Kristin is excited to be back and this week is all about catching up. If your inner Spark feels more like a pilot light these days, you're not alone. Kristin shares her current struggles with consistency in daily habits and is committed to getting back to feeling her best, bringing you with her on the ride in real time.

There is no perfect time to start, and sometimes it's not as easy as you want it to be but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

As Kristin's daughter says, The World is like one big school - we're always learning whether we want to or not. So let's be intentional about how we grow from our learning and let's make today count.
