Join Mary today as she ends Season 1 of 'The Vibrant You' podcast with a quick chat about finding 3 passions in your life!

*MINDFUL WARNING* to listen with care as this episode discusses eating disorders. Please exercise caution and be kind to yourself whilst listening if these topics may be triggering for you.Join Mary today as she chats with her second guest and close friend on the show, Daniella Nicole Edkins. Dani from @nourishwithdani is a Nutritional Therapist Practitioner and Certified Health Coach from London who supports women all over the world to get back to a healthier, happier place through uncovering their own unique health history.  She's passionate about nutrition optimisation, gut-health, anti-stress habits and helping you create an environment for your body to heal itself.At only 21 years young and just starting to kick-start her career in London, Dani became chronically ill with digestive issues, particularly "Achalasia", a rare oesophageal disorder. She couldn't eat or swallow, was starting to "waste away", and suffered from major health anxiety. After searching for a cure, she was devastated to be told by Doctor's that all she could do was "take some pills and maybe get an operation". This was hard to fathom and after not getting the results she wanted, she went out to find answers herself.Dani decided she would try veganism, and transitioned overnight after watching testimonials on YouTube from others who had healed their health issues with this lifestyle. She needed the drastic change to get out of her situation and like felt veganism was the answer as it gave her hope, which she knew was critical in these dire straits. After moving countries and starting a new career, Dani soon noticed that her health was suffering and was no long thriving on a vegan diet despite doing "everything right" and taking "all the supplements". She also fell into a dark place with her "new-age spirituality" practices that she was doing in order to "heal".It wasn't until finding God again and reconnecting with her Christian faith that she finally could start to heal, truly. Dani could let go of the guilt and shame she felt and started to learn more about nutrition, eating more in a traditional and ancestral way, and all in God's design.She now sees food so differently, and is more connected to herself and nature. Dani ends the episode with her best nutrition tip! Be sure to listen in on this one, whether you're vegan or not, or whether you have been wanting to transition away from veganism, this is for you!A follow up episode with Dani will be  COMING SOON on all things nutrition and how to transition back to animal based foods with confidence and without shame. Mary's own personal story on why she is no longer vegan will be coming soon, too.If you enjoyed the show, please listen, rate, review and follow all episodes of the Vibrant You podcast, available now for free on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify - it would mean the absolute world!Thank you for listening and see you next week xxhttps://www.openbible.info/topics/eating_meatFollow Dani on Instagram www.instagram.com/nourishwithdaniSee Dani's Website https://www.daniellanicolewellness.comFollow The Vibrant You Podcast on Instagram www.instagram.com/vibrantyou.podcastFollow Mary on Instagram www.instagram.com/marythomaswellness

Apparently at the end of our lives we will spend around six years on Social Media... isn't that mind-blowing? But not in a good way...We live in the era where we can access the entire world right at our fingertips, which is pretty amazing. However, technology and social media need to be used with mindfulness and balance, like most things in our lives. Join Mary in this episode as she shares how by taking an unexpected 4 months off Social Media (Instagram in particular) changed her life and her relationship with her phone and technology. She talks about her struggles with her mental health and confidence every time she would "scroll", as well as the type of negative influence it was having on not only herself, but on her daughter. After taking the time off to assess the type of relationship she wanted with her "phone" (haha, sounds a bit silly, but when you're spending THAT much time on something, it's a relationship), Mary learnt a few things along the way and found that you can have a positive relationship with Social Media if boundaries are set in place.Don't know where to start with "Tech/Social Media Boundaries"? You're in the right place, as Mary shares 6 of her MUST TRY boundaries that were life changing in all aspects - health, wellbeing, intimacy and connection. If you enjoyed the show, please listen, rate, review and follow all episodes of the Vibrant You podcast, available now for free on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify - it would mean the absolute world!Thank you for listening and see you next week xxFollow The Vibrant You Podcast on Instagram www.instagram.com/vibrantyou.podcastFollow Mary on Instagram www.instagram.com/marythomaswellness

Welcome to the first episode of The Vibrant You Podcast! Join your host, Mary Thomas from @marythomaswellness. Mary is a 30-something year young Wife, Mama, Registered Nurse, Health Coach and a Certified Pilates & Yoga Instructor living an intentional life on the Surfcoast, Victoria, Australia sharing all things Wellness, Motherhood, Health and Lifestyle.In today's episode, Mary shares little parts of the journey she's been on to get here today with "bread crumbs" along the way, which are catalysts for future episodes. An avid story teller and self proclaimed "over-sharer", Mary talks about her early childhood, teen years and the many obstacles she faced in her twenties such as an Eating Disorder and PCOS. Mary also shares her "healing journey" through YouTube & Instagram and growing her social media, travelling the world, meeting her husband, becoming a mother in a pandemic and now, her second pregnancy.It's been a dream of Mary's for over a year to start a podcast and although she faced many challenges such as a "perfectionism" mindset and self-doubt, she "felt the fear and did it anyway".  We all know that Social Media doesn't always give you the full picture of what goes on in someone's life, and with Motherhood changing some of Mary's beliefs and perspectives, she thinks this podcast is the perfect way to share her life, stories, experiences, lessons, tips and everything in between. She believes this truly is a great way to connect with her audience, embody vulnerability yet spark empowerment at the same time.We hope that The Vibrant You Podcast becomes the little bit of reprieve you seek in your day, the part of the day where you can fill your cup because we know life is hectic, and you deserve to feel "normal" in the chaos of it all, and know that by taking that time for yourself each day, leads to a more vibrant you.If you enjoyed the show, please listen, rate, review and follow all episodes of the Vibrant You podcast, available now for free on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
