What happens when a trip changes the trajectory of what you can eat & drink for the rest of your life? Meet Megan Sheley - an incredibly talented recipe builder & creator! She is a MN native (like me) and chats with me about what happened when 2.5 years of an undiagnosed disease took her down and left her with no hope, until turning to a naturopathic doctor that nearly healed her. Why does the US normalize feeling sick??

 

All while being sick, she went from working a 9-5 behind a computer, to taking a leap of faith & diving headfirst into making a passion her full-time work at 28- making recipes & living all over the country in a van. But HOW? How did she get the courage to jump? How did risks become FULFILLING vs. horrifying? Change is growth. 

Job change. Friend change. Lifestyle change = Confidence shifts. 

Megan is the kindest soul & an amazing cook - I AM OBSSED with her recipes.

Here’s what’s in for health… drinking less, zone 2 cardio, grocery lists, me time, bedtime alarms, supplements, and STRESS MANAGEMENT. Today is a little heart to heart with you on where I’ve been at. I have put off getting my ish together for a while now, but I am diving head first back in to get my stress and health on track.

It is a healthy girl era and we are living for the “boring” title that we may have given ourselves. That is just what comes with growth!!!!! I spill on why my Sundays are EVERYTHING to set me up for success that week. Why mornings don’t need to be speedy, why I believe in the supplements I take, and why I am saying NOOOO in this era.

CALL SYD advice this week is about an early proposal + doubting the decision and a friend group crush.

Lyndsey Fraser is back - A certified marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist.

From Straight Candid to Well Said, Lyndsey is coming back to share what we should be paying attention to when it comes to our sex lives.

Lyndsey speaks about the most common reasons she sees couples - Desire discrepancy, needing more foreplay, and meeting the needs of your partner BEFORE sex is on the table. How do we communicate our needs in our sex lives? How do we have confidence to initiate? What if I am feeling too stressed/low drive/too much pressure leading up to the moment?

Lyndsey answers a TON of CALL SYD advice asking about long distance sex lives, intimacy imbalances, and how else to spice things up - outside of the bedroom! It isn’t always about what happens there, but what happens BEFORE. Lyndsey is amazing & I cannot wait for you to hear this episode!!!!

Maria Marlowe, holistic nutritionist, is on Well Said this week's episode on relationship with HEALTH - in particular, your relationship with your SKIN. Maria struggled with acne, turning to medications & scrubs, wondering WHY she couldn't clear her skin. She talks this week about the skin's connection to your GUT HEALTH. Your acne is no coincidence. 

Biggest shock for me?? The flaring of skin during my period DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NORMAL!!!!!! Aka hormone acne doesn't need to be the WHY.

What foods CLEAR your skin? When do I know if it is my gut causing me my acne? How do I clear it? What food should I remove? Are there such things as bad food combinations for acne? Do scrubs help? Do I need to go dairy free? Is my pillow breaking me out?

GIRLIES - let's get our gut right so we can get our SKIN right!!!!
