What's The Juice

Ep 109. Are you committed to your personal health but have a feeling your home is a roadblock? Do you worry about living with mold, high EMFs, or strong LED lights that can throw off circadian rhythm? Christine Cimabue is a licensed general contractor and holistic construction consultant who believes that the condition of our home can play a huge role in our ability to heal, thrive and feel safe. She doesn't fearmonger or tell you to spend $$$ on remediation – instead she gives simple, actionable tips on how we can start getting to know the quirks of our home, install simple safeguards under appliances that leak, and feel empowered with education to maintain and prevent.

HERE'S THE JUICE:

• All about mold in homes – why it grows, how to find it, how to get rid of it and prevent

• What it means to have a "healthy home" vs a "sick home" and the refreshing idea that a healthy home is NOT perfect

• Why decorating your bathroom with aesthetic touches like wallpaper can be problematic

• Why your entire bathroom should be a "wet room" and what this means

• The potential downsides of "energy efficient homes" and air-tight environments

• How to effectively monitor humidity and moisture levels in each room with a $5 device to identity and prevent water damage

• Her controversial opinion that basements should actually NOT be finished and what to do if you currently have a finished basement

• Why LED lights can be overstimulating to our nervous systems & what to use instead to support your circadian rhythm

• The affordable tool that helps to prevent and avoid potential leaks from your appliances

• The key to renovating old homes with healthy materials (like KD versus green lumber)

• Exact questions we can ask potential contractors when we are interviewing them and the checklist Christine gives her clients

Ep 108. Do you notice the same patterns keep coming up with your partner or friendships? Do you find yourself afraid of conflict – avoiding hard, but necessary conversations? Are you struggling with creating the space to feel your emotions instead of numbing them? Krista Williams is a coach, podcast host, and close friend who shares how the "mother wound" shows up in our social dynamics and the way we feel safe in the world, why codependency extends far beyond our partner, and the impact of Internal Family Systems (IFS) also known as 'parts work' on getting in touch with your inner mother.

HERE'S THE JUICE:

• What the "mother wound" is and how it is crucial for developing female friendships & feeling safe in the world

• Why codependency stems from a desire for safety, stability, and connection in intimate relationships

• How using internal family systems (IFS) can help us hear our true "inner mother" who has acceptance for all parts of us

• How to recognize your inner voices like the critic, perfectionist, child, and rebel

• The challenges of adjusting to different versions of yourself, especially as we change and grow in the context of long term relationships

• Exactly how to create space to feel your emotions and the questions to ask yourself to start processing them

• The power of curiosity & asking questions in supporting your friends to come to their OWN conclusions, instead of going into fixer mode

• How a darkness retreat taught Krista how to self regulate and process her emotions for the first time

Sometimes it gets ugly when we start the journey to become our own friend. In this episode with Radhi Devlukia, we cover the exact practices and questions you can ask yourself to figure out who you really are vs. how your ego wants to be seen, and reconnect with your own voice (even if you've never heard it before).

Ep 101. This episode with Amber Magnolia Hill is like receiving a warm hug from an old friend. Amber is a seasoned herbalist who handmakes beautiful plant medicines for people who yearn for knowledge about herbalism, deepening ancestral connections, and remembering what it is to be human upon the earth. She helps people to drop cultural disconnection and disempowerment, and to return to old ways of being. I loved swapping stories of spiritual plant experiences with Amber and I hope this conversation inspires you to connect with the plants that are calling to you!

Here's the juice:

• Why herbalism is really about our relationships with plants, rather than using plants to treat specific ailments

• What the concept and process of plant communication looks like

• The experience that made her realize the mythical power of plants

• How plants treat our spirits by bringing us into ourselves in a deeper way – bringing us into alignment with our true essence

• How body oiling can help with boundary setting + how to make your own oil at home

• The importance of using plants before, during and after pregnancy

• Plants don't come to us unless we're ready for them and the lessons they teach us

Ep 100. This episode is a masterclass in all things breathwork, Kundalini, meditation, and deep emotional healing. When I did a trip to California this year I had this insane virus that was affecting the nerves in my neck. I was in so much pain and it was very much mirroring this emotional pain that I was in. I ended up having a one-on-one breath work session with Erika and I cried like a baby. It was the first time that I felt safe to actually let go and acknowledge how much pain I was in. I loved her technique and the way that she taught and held space for me felt so comfortable — I knew that I had to have her on the podcast so that she could give you guys a little bit of that magic that she shared with me and our one-on-one breathwork session.

Here's the juice:

• Erika's breathwork method and how to use it in your own practice

• why it's so important for you to start your day with a 5-minute meditation or sound healing

• how breathwork can help you "take out the garbage" from yesterday so that you can actually have space for what's coming in today

• why actively letting go and releasing through your own voice and breath helps set you up to receive the goodness that you might otherwise be blocking

• how to use breathwork to tackle real-life stress in the moment

• how to create a very simple morning routine and practice where you can utilize the techniques that she learned to really catapult yourself into a whole different chapter of your life

• how simply changing the state that you're in when you wake up can set your whole day up for success

• how breathwork and Kundalini can raise your energy and help you access joy

• why changing your own energy has a palpable impact on those around you

• other energetic techniques that you can learn and lean on during the different phases of your life
