Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of having a difficult or in-depth conversation with either a loved one, coworker, or friend? It can be a daunting task when we really need to sit down and address an important issue or express how we feel.
The struggle often comes from our initial approach. Many times we jump straight into the conversation causing the other person to respond to it as a threat. This awakens the fight or flight response causing the other person to not respond in the way we had hoped.
In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Rattray, who is a Psychologist and expert in building healthy relationships as she explains the process we should use when we approach any conversation regardless of who it is with. She explains how to approach the other person so that they do not feel threatened and feel open to having a meaningful conversation.
From timing to showing gratitude before we engage, to giving our partner notice of what we want to talk about, Dr. Rattray gives us a clear guide to follow and lays out examples for us to see how the process works. Whether you struggle with communication or just have some frustrating moments that pop up once in a while, your conversation skills will benefit from this conversation.

Do you feel overwhelmed and stressed on a regular basis? Did you know that stress can dramatically impact your health and lead to medical issues like diabetes? Stress seems like it is only increasing in our culture. However, we have good news for you today, you can regain control of your health, and self-heal.
Our guest today, Dr. Bevery Yates is an "internationally acclaimed diabetes expert who uses the Yates Protocol to help people get control over their blood sugar, reclaim their energy, and enjoy life again". She has been on my top twenty "wish list" for podcast guests and once you hear our conversation you will understand why.
Dr. Beverly explains to us the impact of stress on our overall health, how it can lead to diabetes, and most importantly, what we can do about it. We also talk about the fact that stress can HELP us and be our "superpower" when it is used in the right way.
The challenge is that we are not getting a break from stress and are living in a state that we were not designed for. In this episode, we will share simple tips to reduce stress, accessible practices to recenter ourselves, and a philosophy that will help you thrive instead of just surviving, in a culture filled with stress.

Young adults entering the workforce experience many natural stressors. Add in a pandemic, and our fast-paced digital culture, it is understandable that many young people are facing a variety of mental health issues.
Today we are joined by Zdenka Goralikova who is a Gestalt trained psychotherapist who works with young adults to support them during life transitions and reduce the anxiety that many of them are facing. Zdenka shares valuable insight that will not only support our young adult audience but also those who have a young person in their life.
She provides many useful tips for productivity, like building your own calendar, starting your day with the task you are avoiding, and taking the breaks to regain focus. We also talk about the importance of being present, serving others, and how that supports your mental health.
Although our conversation was geared towards young professionals, the concepts apply to all adults who are wanting to level up their mental health, boost their self-confidence and walk in their power to self-heal.

Is it possible to obtain flawless skin? How do we age gracefully and take care of our skin to be optimal during the process? There are countless blogs and information about these topics and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. What if the solution was much simpler than it seems?
Today we are joined by Abby Mason who is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Advanced Skin Sequencing Practitioner, Certified Boutique Skincare Designer, and Author. She shares with us the ten pillars of skin health and timeless aging so we can self-heal from the inside out and outside in.
We dig deep into nutrition and hydration and the importance of "fueling your body with the fuel that your skin loves". She also shares with us why we need to understand the root cause of poor health (and skin) and simple self-healing tips like drinking half of your body weight in water because "timeless skin loves water."
We also discuss the best sleep routines for our skin and why we should understand our bio-individual absorption, being aware of our deficiencies so we can lovingly give our bodies what it needs.
We ended the conversation talking about the importance of self-care, reducing stress, and allowing time each week to reset and find a flow state. These are simple tips that will enhance your journey not only towards flawless skin but also to truly self-heal.

When reflecting on your overall health and nutritional habits, how do you feel? Are you wanting to improve how you feel but are overwhelmed with all the changes that need to be made? What if making a positive impact on your life was much more simple than what we were taught?
Dr. Dan Cardellichio joins us today to share why he believes that we are on the brink of a health pandemic BUT that we still have control to self-heal and turn our health around. Dr. Dan has a Master of Science Degree in Human Nutrition and is an expert in Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine. He is passionate about equipping others with the tools to live healthier lives.
Dr. Dan teaches us practical tips like how breathing fresh air helps with our immune system and even gives us a more positive outlook on life. We also dig into the small nutritional changes we can make that will have the biggest impact on our overall health. He asks us to consider powerful questions like how we are serving others and contemplating what rituals we have in place for ourselves.
Wherever you are starting, all you have to do is make minor adjustments that will positively compound over time. We hope this episode encourages you that you don't have to run a marathon, or be a gym rat to dramatically change your health and self-heal.

What comes to mind when you think of self-care? Maybe it's a shopping trip, a spa day, or a bubble bath. And while none of these things are bad, this is somewhat of a distorted view of what self-care really looks like.
Self-care instead is taking care of our emotional, spiritual, and physical health, and making strides to become the best version of ourselves. When we make these strides it doesn't take away from other relationships and areas in our lives, instead, it strengthens them because it gives us more to offer.
In today's episode, I sit down with Christy Primmer who is the TV Host of "Women Who Lead", an author and registered mental health counselor. Christy shares with us the importance of deciding, committing, and taking action and what that looks like on a day-to-day basis.
We also talk about the importance of taking baby steps. We often think we have to dive headfirst into something, but in reality, just taking five minutes a day to start can vastly improve our self-care routine. Christy also lays out three simple habits that will enrich our self-care, prioritize our own success, and accelerate our efforts to self-heal.

Do you ever feel like life has thrown you a curveball? Maybe you want to run and hide and feel overwhelmed with all that is coming your way. It can be tempting to allow that to victimize us and take away our power. In those moments we are left with a choice, to take responsibility or be a victim of life and our circumstances.
Today, we will hear a story about a young man who decided to take back his power, think of others before himself, and ultimately with the help of today's guest, impact thousands of lives.
I am so honored to have our very special guest today Trish Shallenburger, who is the founder and CEO of 'A Soldier's Hands' which "touches the hands and hearts of each man and woman serving our country in the military, unit by unit, through a personalized gift of skincare and a message of gratitude".
She shares with us a story about meeting a young man on an airplane late one night in 2007. She decided to say yes to an opportunity and honor her word, resulting in 14 years later reaching over 15,000 soldiers with care packages helping them feel seen and acknowledged.
We hope this episode encourages you to surrender to the moment, keep your word, and trust that the small things matter on your journey to self-heal.

Are you struggling with inflammation or other health issues and are concerned that you might have to live with this discomfort for the rest of your life? Did you know there may be a connection between your pain, the food you eat, and what you put on your body?
I am so excited to introduce to you one of my good friends, Joanna Chodorowska who is a holistic nutritionist and the founder of nutrition in motion. Joanna is passionate about unraveling the layers of your pain and health challenges so that you can love your body and live more fully.

Today, Joanna shares how you can heal your body naturally from inflammation and pain so that you can, "love your body, love your food, and love who you are". We also discuss the importance of not only what you eat, but the QUALITY of your food, and being intentional even with how you FEEL when you are cooking and eating.
Even if you are not experiencing pain, inflammation can present itself in a variety of ways. In this episode, Joanna uncovers simple techniques and insights on how you can begin to let the body do what it does best…. self-heal.

Do you feel like you are on the sidelines of life? Maybe you feel like you are not fully engaged, or not actively participating in what you are truly meant to do? However, maybe you have spent years on one path and you are terrified to step out and pursue the unknown.
Today I am welcoming Megan Bendtzen, a Motivational trainer, speaker, life and business coach, and founder and CEO of "Life Bacon" who is passionate about helping others uncover what is holding them back and lean into their "bliss".
Megan was in her mid-forties when she "finally woke up" and decided to leave her six-figure career and find something that she truly enjoys. Today she shares with us how she was able to find the courage and "trust herself" as she let go of her own safety nets.
As Megan says, it is important to focus on what you have to GAIN and not just what you have to lose. We believe the topic of career MATTERS in the conversation about self-healing, and we hope this episode helps you to have a little more courage and do what is right for you.

Have you been single for a while and wonder if you will ever truly find love? How do you know if you are ready for something more? On top of the usual stresses of building healthy relationships, we were recently hit with a pandemic that made it more challenging to connect with others, especially those we are interested in building a romantic connection with.
Today I am excited to introduce to you one of my good friends, Macy Matarazzo, a love and relationship expert for singles. Growing up, her dream of success was climbing the corporate ladder, however, in her 40s, she found herself single and decided to stop "winging it" in the relationship arena. After finding the love of her life, she decided to quit her 6-figure career to help others "find the one".
In today's conversation, we dig into the advantages this year has brought us by promoting consciousness while creating relationships and the power of "courting before kissing'. We also discuss Macy's specialty which is FIRST matchmaking with yourself and learning to appreciate who you are before trying to pursue love.
Another important point is that we often attract what we expect and find what we see in this world. Our relationship narrative begins at the age of seven, but it IS possible to "claim the love story that is in your heart" and self-heal your relationship not only with others...but with yourself.
