To Heal The Collective

Join us in this episode where I interview a very special guest, Jenese Gaston as she speaks about her very tumultuous journey. We discus her experience through multiple surgeries, great loss, faith, being a single mother.

This is a very touching and inspiring episode, demonstrating precisely what it means to heal within to contribute to healing the collective...

In Jenese’s own personal healing journey, she taught herself how to heal from chronic physical, mental, and emotional pain. In doing so, she lost over 100lbs, healed herself from degenerative disc disease, chronic nerve pain, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, chronic migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, bi-polar disorder type a, manic depression, anxiety, binge eating, alcoholism, drug addiction, and post-dramatic syndrome from childhood, adolescent, and adult sexual and physical abuse.

Jenese is a true testament to anything being possible, and we are absolutely filled with gratitude to have her on the show.

Join Paulina and myself for a very emotionally evoking journey throughout the topics of body image and relationship with food.

Paulina Szara is the founder of Science & Soul, a food delivery experience. With very much attention to detail, Paulina takes her time to choose fresh, local ingredients to create the perfect balance of nutrition, flavor, and color. Food prep as you have never seen or experienced before, with the intention to make the consumer slow down and really enjoy their meal, a rarity in todays fast-paced culture.

In this episode we discuss Paulina's journey in the realms of spiritually and its relationship to food, and how this birthed Science & Soul. Listen in as we cover some very touchy topics, and show a side of healing that is unfortunately not spoken on enough - eating disorders.

By openly having this discussion, it is our hope that we will touch the souls of others that may be enduring the same struggle, assisting in releasing the shame and guilt around whatever your experience with food may be. You are seen. You are heard. You are loved.
