Wellness Me Up Podcast

Wanna learn Kung Fu online? You actually can. Verca Partikova has 25 years of martial arts experience, almost 20 MMA fights, and moved across to Asia to train at the source.

Sarah Kay Brown is a straight talking coach and author based in the UK helping people get out of their own way and start living at their optimal.

Miranda Brooking is a rest consultant — yes that's a real job and yes we need it. This one covers the five areas of rest, burnout, permission, guilt, perimenopause, cold plunges, HRT, skinny dipping in a glacier lake on Vancouver Island, and why five minutes on the floor might change your life. Rest is not lazy. Miranda said so.

Joby Sanchez helps high-performing people navigate addiction privately — without losing their careers, their families, or themselves. He's lived it. He coaches from it. And he turned Wellness Me Up into a question. Nobody has done that before. Just listen.

Three cancers. 9/11. Two and a half years bedridden. Four knee surgeries.

My longest episode yet and I would do it again immediately. Natalie Zacharias is a healer, space holder, and emotion code practitioner where spirituality and psychology collide. Subconscious healing, trapped emotions, grief, plant medicine, Etch A Sketch, and why the warrior stays calm in the chaos. You're welcome.

Danae Jensen is a plant medicine and healing guide based on Quadra Island BC. She has watched people crawl into ceremony at their lowest and walk out realizing their life is actually pretty amazing. Plant is going to show you what it needs to show you. And the diamonds are always in the darkness.

You don't stop the negativity coming in. You let it out. Empress Sparkle is a healer and energetic cleanser here to talk about energy, darkness, judgment, soul ties, and why accepting yourself — all of yourself — is where wellness actually begins.

The helpers are burning out. And not enough people are helping them. Kathleen Foldvari is a registered social worker and psychotherapist here specifically for the healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, coaches, and parents who give everything to everyone and forget themselves. This one is real, practical, and ends with pickles and peanut butter. You're welcome.
