Today Jamie and I dive into the food sensitivity test results, taking a look at the foods that are causing me and my body issues.I've been working with Jamie for about 7 weeks now and I am already seeing some success. I've lost inches in my mid-section (all bloating from food reactions), there is virtually no pain in my hands and my energy is on the rise.The food journal has become my best friend, even if I don't always use it. I am learning so much about which foods cause me pain and which foods bring me pleasure.If you would like to work with Jamie Trevathan or learn more about Jamie and her practice, you can contact Jamie at https://empacthealth.myflodesk.com/quantum Support the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

While journaling my food habits I discovered I was doing a bit of negative self talk, and that got me thinking... Why do we talk negative to ourselves? And how do we find ways not to talk negatively to ourselves?Tracy Brady shares a few things throughout our conversation that we can do to help when we find we're in a negative conversation with ourselves. Music by Sonic Yogi: https://sonicyogi.com/ Support the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

My daughter and I talk about once a week. And everytime we talk, we say, that would've made a great podcast. So a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning we talked for almost 3 hours and recorded the whole conversation. I'm sharing the first hour of our conversation, and will follow it up with the 2nd part later this month.Didn't do much editing so you are getting a very raw and real look at how our mother/daughter conversations typically go. We talk about consistency, trauma, values, being a chameleon, female conditioning, being on the spectrum, ADHD, Trash TV, being a homebody, and wanting to choke someone out for breathing!Enjoy!Support the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

As I walk into 2024 I'm realizing the health issues I learned about in 2023 have continued to decline. I was told my cholesterol was on the rise, my good estrogen was at zero and my bad estrogen was elevated, and I've been slowly putting on weight for over a year now.My lack of action in 2023 leaves me with 2 options; go it alone, which has not worked for me so far. Or phone a friend (who also happens to be a functional nutritionist), and begin the process of working with my doctor and my nutritionist, to get my health back on track.I'll be sharing each call I have with Jamie Trevathan throughout this process and this conversation is basically my intake call with Jamie.Link to Jamie's first visit to the Curiosity Junkie Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1163507/5236915-episode-11-the-gut-goddess-jamie-trevathan.mp3?download=true For more relaxing music from Sonic Yogi, visit https://sonicyogi.com/Support the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

Did you know that 9 out of 10 people will fail their new year resolutions?Did you know that the average resolutions last about 3.74 months?Yes, yes they will! And because failure of resolution setting is so common, there are unofficial dates commemorating resolution failure. I love this!!We already know we are going to fail, so why not create a day to celebrate our failures.The first one is called “Ditch New Year Resolutions Day” and it's on January 17th.The second one is unofficially called “Quitters Day” and it's on the 2nd Friday in January. This year it happens to be January 12th and I will be in Kansas City to celebrate with the rest of you quitters.

Coming home to yourself.2023 has been a big year of change for me, one filled with endings and new beginnings. And it was important for me to come home to myself and re-establish a healthy and loving relationship with myself.Everything you desire in life is a reflection of your values. Our dreams and our goals represent the things we care most about. The things we feel we must have in order to express complete and true fulfillment.Living in alignment with our values is an ongoing journey. It requires lots of check-ins with yourself, lots of willingness to survey your life and do the work of letting go of whatever is not in alignment, and reprioritizing what is.Free Values Workshop at https://www.cassieburton.com/resilient-youSupport the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

Why is it so challenging to feel like we belong with others, or in a group? Maybe it's because we aren't in the practice of belonging to ourselves.So what exactly is belonging? Belonging is the feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity for a member of a certain group. When an individual can bring their authentic self. Here's the cool thing. When we have the courage to be our authentic true self, we begin to communicate to others with clarity, with confidence and with grace.How do we do it and how do we know when we've done it?It is so important to learn to listen to yourself, to come to know yourself. To be in a relationship with yourself and to be in an ongoing daily practice of tuning in to yourself. Belonging is not a fixed end with an achievable moment. It's not like we check it off our to-do list and suddenly we belong. The work of belonging is a practice because we return home again and again to the truth of who we are and a check in with who we are becoming. Belonging to yourself is a practice of deep listening and deep courage.It's about honoring yourself, acknowledging yourself and seeing yourself.After all, you are the one who will journey with you through this entire life. You are the most important person to see you as you.The intro, and outro music by Sonic Yogi.For more relaxing music checkout http://sonicyogi.comSupport the showWebsite: https://cassieburton.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNgStf4gnZo-MKQ0jU6pDw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curiosityjunkiecass/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/621323495403041

Gurudhan is a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher in Kundalini.

He graduated from Brooklyn Law School and had a career in the “natural foods industry” as an executive sales manager. For many years he fell into the numbing practice of “Spiritual Bypassing” until he found therapy. Somatic therapy, he says, changed his life.

What is it about getting behind the wheel of a car that turns us all into racecar drivers? And why do some of us turn into complete and total assholes, forgetting everything we know about common courtesies. Did you know, that the typical reaction time, for stopping at a light, without texting was between one and two seconds, but while texting it increased to three to four seconds, regardless of whether the driver was typing or reading a text. This is significant because at highway speeds a driver can travel the length of a football field in that time. In this episode we learn what road rage is, why we get so angry and what steps we can take to prevent it.Support the showBuy Me a CoffeePaypalSupport the show

http://www.cassieburton.comFather's Day is a time for people to celebrate the men in their lives. For children, it is a day to show appreciation for their fathers and father-figures. For adults, it is a day to show how much they love and appreciate the hard work of the fathers and husbands in their lives. So how did Father's Day get started? And what do you do on this day if you don't have a healthy relationship with your father?Let's face it, when we have a difficult, or worse relationship with our dad, we can be filled with anxiety, unpleasant memories and depression, while our friends are celebrating with cards and gifts. It can remind us of the fathers we've loved and lost, fathers we never knew, fathers who left and never came back, and fathers who were abusive. Join me and learn how you can have a healthier experience on this Father's Day.Wanna support the show? Buy Me a CoffeePaypalSupport the show

Cassieburton.comThis last week the topic of friendly vs friends in a leadership role, came up and it got me thinking. Is there a right or a wrong here, or just some best practices to keep in mind while managing human beings? I'll let you decide…I believe that when we create these amazing work relationships that say “I'm here for you, and I support you and the job we do together.” When we feel safe, we can be vulnerable and brave, sharing openly and honestly, it will in turn, create a collaborative and focused work environment.Support the showBuy Me a CoffeePaypalSupport the show

Imagine how different your adult life would be if, as a child, when you got anxious you knew how to take a few deep breaths and calm your mind and let go of the past and the future thoughts so you could return to the present moment.Author Nikki Hedstrom got curious about just that and created “A Thought Is A Thought” book for children and the family as a whole. The book is designed to help children and families to understand and process their thoughts. The book has practical exercises and practices that can be implemented and used on a daily basis.The concept that a thought is a thought may seem hard to grasp, but it really is quite simple. A Thought is just a thought and we can let it go, it's not who we are , it doesn't define us, and we can choose another one.Where to find Nikki Hedstom:www.athoughtisathought.com, www.nikkihedstrom.comInstagram: @nikkihedstrom, @athoughtisathought, Facebook: @nikkihedstrom, @athoughtisathought, Twitter: @nikki_hedstromTikTok: @nikki_hedstromPurchase the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target and Indigo (in Canada). Activities for anxious kids: worksheets (positive affirmations, gratitude journal, breathing exercise & colouring sheets)Support the show (https://paypal.me/chatecass)

Perfectionism is the belief that everything must be perfect all the time. A perfectionist sets impossible goals, and feels crushed when they are not achieved.Perfectionism can look like:Having a very high standard for yourself. You should achieve goals faster and better than anyone else.Focus on results over the process itself - outcome focusedLiving in a highly critical state Beating yourself up for any mistake dade- making it hard to learn from mistakes because they can be so paralyzing. Your worth is tied to the outcome.What is brainspotting?It's a mind/body therapy that works with your emotion brain instead of your thinking brain. When working with the emotion brain we are processing old narratives and old stories. We are reorganizing them in the brain and sometimes it looks like:Gaining perspective on a situationA new understanding on a situationGrieving to shift the past to stay in the past.For more on brainspotting and perfectionism visit https://empowermentwithinllc.com/ You can connect with Patrice Flanagan-Morris via Instagram @habit.of.healingConnect with Curiosity Junkie Podcast and Cassie Burton via The Journey Inward, Instagram & YouTubeSupport the show (https://paypal.me/chatecass)

Dr Talei says everything that happens in the gut is connected to all sorts of different systems. She starts by looking to see if your body can digest food and if your body is able to absorb the nutrients, because these provide the fuel for your brain, for your skin and basically everything in the body. It’s important to know if you are able to excrete toxins from your body.These toxins and bacteria from the gut create, bloating, gas, frequent headaches, fatigue, and you see it in the skin. Our skin is a mirror for what’s going on inside of the body.There are certain foods to avoid when it comes to overall health, like don’t eat processed foods, don’t eat foods where you don’t understand the ingredients. And then in general there are 3 big food sensitivities.1.       Dairy – most people can’t digest dairy which can cause inflammation for many people.2.       Gluten – especially with all the glyphosates that they spray it with.3.       Eggs – not that eggs are bad, it's that many people have a sensitivity to them.So food sensitivity test are great for identifying what foods your specific body is reacting to.Connect with Dr. Jasmine Talei on Instagram or Beverly Hills Natural MedicineConnect with Cassie Burton and the Love And Healing Podcast on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.Tags: Cassie BurtonJasmine TaleiGut healthSupport the show (https://paypal.me/chatecass)

What are Attachment styles and how do they impact our relationships?Attachment styles are a habitual pattern of relating to others. Specifically significant relationships , like a parent, a romantic partner or maybe even a best friend.

So, basically what we do when we start to feel insecure or dis-connected. Or when that sense of safety, closeness or trust with a partner feels threatened.There are four different attachment stylesSecure AttachmentAnxious AttachmentAvoidant AttachmentDisorganized AttachmentComing in, having that awareness, helps you sort of know when you're being triggered and you can pause.

What is self confidence? Self-acceptance coach, Annie Gospodin says a better question to ask is, “What does confidence mean to me?” and see what comes up for you. Because ultimately we are the ones who decide.Annie believes confidence is rooted in self-acceptance. It's not about the way we look or act, and it's not  what the media portrays as confidence. It's also not something we are born with or without. We can always learn our version of self-confidence.Here are a few to consider as you work to understand and define confidence.What does confidence mean to me?What have I observed as an example of confidence growing up?What have I learned about confidence?Do I perceive myself as confident? If not, why?In what way do I see my friends as being confident?How does their confidence align with my confidence?Connect with Annie Gospodin via her website AnnieGospodin.com.

Have you ever been curious about the world of Kink and Fetish?Relationship and sex therapist, Paula Leech is here to enlighten and educate us about all things Kink and Fetish.I have to say, for me, this conversation was an educational and eye-opening dive into understanding the dynamics, boundaries and communication that takes place within the kink community.  An understanding we can apply within the “Vanilla” sexual experience.Paula says Fetish is desire or arousal that’s linked to objects, material, body parts, types of people or types of bodies. It can be that the individual needs this thing to become aroused or it may be that this thing enhances the overall desire and arousal.Kink encompasses any behaviors, lifestyles and relationship arrangements. For example it includes, non-monogamy, BDSM and basically anything that is not mainstream, “Vanilla” sex.If we find ourselves curious and wanting to explore the world of kink, Therapist Paula Leech recommends we seek out resources. She says there are many resources that talk about how to incorporate elements of kink and fetish into our relationships. Several discuss how to navigate it with our partners and how to explore the kink world and the kink community safely.Here are a few resources Paula shared:Fetlife.com is a social network for the BDSM, Fetish and Kink Community.
