It's already our 10th episode here on The Wellness Rock and we are so excited about it so we are bringing you an episode full of emotions this week!

Here in this episode, autodidactic Jackie Beauchamp shares with us her expertise in emotions. She is a certified Emotions Mentor Coach, a certified Life Coach, a Christ-Centered Kundalini Yoga Teacher, and an Essential Oil Educator.

Throughout this episode, she takes us through her struggles with perfectionism and her journey of becoming emotionally intelligent. She discusses how we have the option to either react in the moment or take a step back to process the feeling that we have and how we are going to act with that.

Mindfulness and self-awareness is a huge part of becoming emotionally intelligent and becoming the person God calls us to be. The nutrition we consume also has a huge take in how we process our emotions. Our bodies are created to be in a state of well, that is where our cells perform the best. When we fuel our bodies with healthy, diverse food and positivity, our bodies will naturally work better which allows us to give more to ourselves and others.

Trust the journey and enjoy the process she tells us. We are going to experience uncomfortableness but in that we will experience growth!

Bible verse highlighted: Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." This is important because without God's armor we are nothing. When we set our hearts and minds on him and keep him in the center, anything is possible!

• What are emotions? How can we process them effectively?

• How does the food we consume relate to our emotions and reactions?

We are taking a trip down memory lane this week to uncover the limiting beliefs I have conquered in order to get to where I am today. From my London trip, to my first podcast, to quitting multiple jobs, to being here today, it's been a journey!

In this episode we hit on how limiting beliefs are the one thing that can ultimately hold us back from pursuing what we want to do. If I did not make one bold decision that led to the next bold decision and then the next, I would not be where I am today. And the only reason I am here today, is because I did not let my limiting beliefs hold me back from where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do.

God has given us all a vision and in order to let that vision come to life, we must surround ourselves with community and that is what The Wellness Rock community is all about. We want to bring uplifting, positive mindsets to each and everyone. So let's do it together!

Bible verse highlighted: Hebrews 4:15 "We don't have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but one who that has been tempted without sin." Jesus experienced everything we've experienced, if not worse, but he did not worry or doubt nor sin because he knew everything was happening for a reason and God was taking care of it.

Rebecca Peterson is a health educator, expert on self-doubt and board certified nurse practitioner. As a well-respected professional, she uses her extensive knowledge of health promotion and integrative wellness to assist individuals and groups to achieve their utmost joy, satisfaction and significance.

In this episode, we dive into why Rebecca Peterson wanted more for herself and what she did to change that. She started exploring gut health and insulin sensitivity and she quickly realized that the majority of what we experience in our body stems from the issues that occur within our gut.

She takes us through 4 different ways that we can go about healing our gut, number one being having a good probiotic, number two is making sure we have a good sleep routine, number three is to make sure we are consuming quality protein with every meal and number our is swapping out our simple sugars/carbs for healthy fats.

Rebecca utilizes her expertise in gut health and insulin sensitivity to help her patients in a way she couldn't before. She is an advocate for listening to her patients and knowing that no one knows their body better than their own self. She is very intentional with her days and discusses with us how we can be proactive vs. reactive in situations.

Bible verse highlighted: Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another." We discuss how God wants us to surround ourselves with others that are going to make sure "sharper" which will allow us to grow and evolve.

Main Highlights:

• Wanting more for yourself and going and getting it

What is this gut health we keep hearing about? Why is this so important to make sure we are taking care of it? What stems from our gut health? I dive into the answers of all of these questions. Your gut health includes your entire digestive system from your throat all the way down to your booty. It is important for us to be taking care of this because 90% of our immune system is within our gut, so when we look at the increase of disease, this is all associated with the food that we are consuming and how it is affecting our gut.

We have seen an increase in anxiety, depression, heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, etc. and this can all be related back to the food that we are consuming and the integrity of our gut! Our liver supports a lot of the functions within our hormones so we need to ensure that we are taking all of the measures so that the brain, gut, liver, ovaries, everything are communicating effectively.

Birth control can negatively affect your gut health by creating an environment that actually allows harmful bacteria and yeast to be able to grow. We can fix that by removing the source and fueling our body with the proper nutrients.

Bible verse highlighted: Proverbs 28:26 "Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered." We have a spiritual war going on around us. It is important to shield our hearts and our minds with the word of God. If we walk by faith, trust and the shield of Christ, we can be delivered in peace and we can fight the enemy's lies.

Today we are here to talk about what stress is really doing to your body and how we can make lifestyle changes to help with that stress. Stress can come in many different ways including good and bad stress! So as humans, we need to realize that we have control over our own minds, thoughts and actions. There are routines that we can create throughout the day to remove stress from consuming us.
