Jennifer Hirst is a Sober Coach. She has a great platform on social media where she spreads the message of sobriety, its benefits and helps other to feel accepted in sobriety. As I have opened my eyes to sobriety and quit drinking alcohol entirely almost 2 years ago, I have really noticed how much society normalizes alcohol consumption. Our society celebrates so much with alcohol and especially for moms, it has become big in mom culture. We know there are new health recommendations, particularly in Canada, to limit alcohol consumption and it can be great for our physical, emotional and mental health. Let's hear more from Jen!

Parenting is hard and we have talked recently about helping our teens through challenges, supporting our LGBTQIA+ youth and teens, as well as parenting highly sensitive children. Today we are going to dig into a parenting approach called Conscious Parenting. Nina Cruz is a certified Conscious Parent Coach, Social Worker (BSW), and Meditation Teacher who's made it her mission to support parents through shifting archaic parental paradigms, many of which contribute to increased stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and feelings of disconnection for themselves, their partners, and their children. Nina's approach to coaching revolves around trauma-informed care that puts others at-ease, providing a safe space for everyone to facilitate their individual healing and growth.   Contact Nina: https://ninacruzconsciouscoaching.com/  https://www.facebook.com/ninacruzconsciouscoaching/ IG: @Ninacruzcoach   #anxious #attention #parenting #parentingteens #tweens #teens #mentalhealth #parentingadvice #consciousparenting #consciousparent #mother #father #family #parentcoach #coaching #coach #consciouscoaching #children #parentingchildren   As always, this podcast is based on experiences and should not be construed as medical or professional advice.

This week we are back into the parenting sphere. We have Stephanie Duesing joining us, a mother who is also a former music teacher and now an author as well.

Marriage or partnership with another human is one of our biggest relationships in life. It can be a source of vitality in our lives, and it can change and also be a huge challenge in our life.

This is challenging because our marriage or partnership is a key cornerstone of our whole life. I am happy to dig more into these important relationships with Wendy Capewell.

This week I am so excited to interview someone that I have been loving on Instagram for quite some time now. As I have been through my own journey of body acceptance, trying to find a balance between working out for the right reasons, and then eating in a healthful way, that doesn't focus on my body size, body fat percentage or how my muscles pop in photos, I stumbled across Sam. Sam Gwaz is a Virtual Coach with a B.S. Nutrition and M.S. in Kinesiology & Sports Nutrition. She has been putting great vibes out into the world and on Instagram in particular where she shows her tough workouts, how she hits her protein goals, but also how she actually eats foods that she loves and enjoys life. This week we pick her brain about her approach since this is really where I aspire to be!
