Most of us have spent our lives learning how to suppress our symptoms Have a headache? Take some tylenol Cramps? Here's some Midol. Constipated? Here's a laxative Heartburn? Take a tums Tired? Grab some caffeine As we age that strategy goes into overdrive: While I absolutely recognize that we are SO lucky to live in a day and age when we do have so many resources available to us - the problem is we're not actually doing anything to figure out what is causing our symptoms. We're just stomping them down and hoping that will do the trick.  Let's talk about how we stop that pattern and start listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us. The Energy Restoration Project is now open more info here Schedule a free call here Come join me on Instagram @shelleyswapp

Today we welcome back Dr Rashmi Schramm. It's a part 2 to our original episode on the science behind meditation but this time we get to go much deeper. The power of NSDR (Non Sleep Deep Rest) or Yoga Nidra comes in the forms of self compassion, clarity and recognizing that we can choose to respond in healthy ways to our stressed out minds and bodies by giving ourselves time to respond instead of react. Giving ourselves that extra breath and opening up to possibilities is part of making the changes that help us find more wellness, energy and peace. Dr. Schramm offers a beautiful meditation for us at the end of this episode that you can cue up and practice again and again. Her next 6 week program Rewire Your Mind starts August 21st You can find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dr.rashmischramm/

Welcome to season 3 - a bit of a reintroduction episode for those new to the Wellness Restoration Project and my reason for creating this space full of resources. I hope you will join me in redefining what that health care is, looking for underlying imbalances instead of ways to suppress symptoms, and working to restore those imbalances through food, herbs, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes. That healthcare model requires kindness on its journey, but it is wrapped in possibilities. Come join the conversation on IG https://www.instagram.com/shelleyswapp/

I love this bright, cheery little flower – coming to full bloom at the height of the summer when days are the longest. It manages to bloom just in time to capture the power of long sunlit days in its leaves and flowers which we then get to infuse into extracts, powders and oils to help support depression, the nervous system and so much more. I also love how it helps so many people really feel better without the side effects. If certain people are having a particularly rough day I will leave a bottle on the counter or make a batch of tea as a subtle hint. It's why we lovingly refer to it as the "Stop being a jerk herb". Hope you enjoy this episode and learning more about this fascinating herb!Come join me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/shelleyswapp/Or learn more on my website www.shelleyswapp.comwhere you can read more about today's podcast and set up a free 15 minute appointment if you'd like help learning add herbal and nutritional resources to support your health.

There's an old saying that when "mama ain't happy, nobody is happy".. but I have often found the reverse to be even more true.

Along with sharing some of her best resources, Shelley & Cheryl also explore how taking care of yourself as a parent is one of the best ways you can show up and be a powerful force for good for those you care for.You can find Cheryl on instagram https://www.instagram.com/cherylcardall/and you can check out her upcoming parent's rising group hereRegistration FormCome join me on Instagram for more great resources on wellness! https://www.instagram.com/shelleyswapp/

Once my period returned, it never stopped. I became a zombie of exhaustion and anemia. The solution my Dr presented was a hysterectomy. He assured me they would leave my ovaries intact and I would be fine.I was 31By 32 I was in full blown peri-menopause.  The crazy thing is that my experience is not that extraordinary. I see women every week who are in the same run down, depleted state I was in and are suffering from heavy periods, night sweats, exhaustion and so much more and have no idea what to do.We as a society are just barely beginning to talk about women's health in serious and helpful ways. But not everyone is on board yet.I've spent the last decade learning new ways to look at the body and even though we still have a lot to learn, the herbal traditions have a lot of answers.Come join me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/shelleyswapp/Read this transcript on the blog at www.shelleyswapp.comor schedule a free meeting https://shelleyschedule.as.me/15minintromeeting

Paul Van Bloem's work is best described as being engaged in the effort of helping good people become great people. What exactly does that mean? A giant social media reach? A better physique? Freedom from financial cares? Not for Paul He sees greatness as so much deeper and so much higher than those simple metrics. Its about sovereignty, integrity and compassion that allows us to BECOME the best versions of ourselves. And greatness comes when we can take all that and offer those tools to others seeking for the same thing within our reach. We cover a lot of ground here, but there was a lot of ground to cover! I hope you'll join me on this wonderful journey.

One of the ways I recognize true principles is when they show up over and over again in different ways. Today, we're talking about ways we open pathways: in the physical body we have several pathways, also referred to as detoxification pathways that we need to be open in order to reduce pain, inflammation and clear out toxins. We also need them to be open in order to receive nourishment. Well guess what? That same principle is true in other facets of our lives too. My guest today, Darla Trendler of Spiritually Minded Women is back and we dive into her little known secret about how and when she best communicates with the God she loves and is inspired by. It's also what helped her to begin to find her purpose and continues to help her to move the mountains in her life.

"The pain of being afraid of touching our pain is so much worse than actually getting our pain out and working through it" Bobbi Wynn is one of the kindest, wisest souls I've had the honor of learning from. She KNOWS the fear of touching those painful things and the power and peace that comes from walking through the other side. She teaches us how she learned to embrace and forgive her painful childhood, her children's trauma and her own pain and how she has learned the tools to not only allow her to begin to heal, but to hold space for others to embrace theirs as well. After listening to this episode I hope you feel like you got a much needed pep talk, a huge hug and permission to be real from a wise friend. Bobbi and I are joining forces on a new project to help even more women gain the tools to be well and I am so excited to tell you about it.

There's a Chinese proverb that “If we don't change the direction we're going, we're likely to end up where we are headed.” So where are you headed? Running full steam, on empty, hardly sleeping, maybe eating a bit too much junk or just not enough food in general… its not a huge mystery when we end up run down, exhausted, and struggling to get through the day. So lets talk a little more about what it looks like to really replenish our systems. You and I both know we don't have control over what life throws at us - I can tell you that from experience that in just one minute, one phone call, one day - everything can change. Our work of caring for the body and spirit and mind isn't just so we can have a happy day, its so when those hard things come, we have the strength of body and mind to show up for them, get through them and then the understanding and compassion to lean in and do the work of replenishing again and again and again.
