Today we had the absolute pleasure of speaking to and learning from Rachel Montez Minor, who just released her second children's book “See You on The Other Side,” on September 26th. Rachel is best known for her work on Broadway, TV, and film  but is now focusing on writing and her other passions, including yoga instruction and meditation. These calm, mindful sensibilities are reflected in the new book – and they came to her in the most beautiful and almost magical way – which she shares with us today!  Her new book is a comforting, lyrical story about loss and the reassurance that no one leaves us forever because we always carry their love with us. An emotional topic, Rachel handles it with incredible care and we hope this book will serve as a real resource to kids coping with loss. We had a poignant conversation today on love, loss, and learning how to listen to and trust yourself. We hope you enjoy the episode!  To learn more you can visit: http://rachelmontezminor.com or follow on instagram @rachelmontezminor If you would like to receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email aly@courageouswellness.net or erica@courageouswellness.net    Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!

We have a wonderful conversation with Shea Gomez, founder and creator of the online platform: No Booze Babes – offering alcohol free tips, tricks, and sober sips. Shea works to normalize and glamorize an alcohol free life and create community around booze free living.  Today on the podcast, Shea shares her journey with alcohol and her decision to give up alcohol entirely. She classifies her previous drinking as “gray area drinking,” that so many young women can relate to. When she realized that  alcohol was holding her back from being the best version of herself and after having a bad open bar experience, she committed to a 3 month breath that has now led to 4+ years of sobriety.

Today we have a great conversation with author Nic Stone who wants teens to know that they are never alone when it comes to their mental health. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and other works for tweens and teens tackles the difficult topic of brain health in her new novel CHAOS THEORY —a gripping story about first love, mental health, family, and loving who you are – all amidst the chaos of life. Inspired by her own mental health journey, Stone is setting out to challenge the negative connotations that can sometimes surround mental health issues and to let readers of all ages know that there is nothing to be ashamed of or to hide.  We have a really great conversation on the power of vulnerability and normalizing conversations around mental health.  To learn more visit: http://www.nicstone.info or follow on instagram @nicstone if you would like to work with us and receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email aly@courageouswellness.net or erica@courageouswellness.net  Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!

Today on the podcast we speak with John Lewis aka the badass vegan.  John is an incredible advocate for promoting wellness and plant-forward eating in underserved communities. Born in Ferguson, Missouri, he didn't start his wellness journey until he started playing Division 1 basketball and as he got stronger, many of his friends and family got sicker (suffering from Type 2 Diabetes, chronic pain, heart disease, etc). John has made it his mission to burst stereotypes of what a plant-forward/plant-based diet looks like. Lewis became a plant-based eater when he saw how the conventional American diet was utterly failing his community. His new book “Badass Vegan” is a wake you up” manifesto and plant-based lifestyle plan to buck the system that keeps us sick, and tired. The book offers an irreverent and eye-opening four-part master plan to help readers shift their mindset and enjoy the massive health benefits and pure pleasures of a plant-based lifestyle.   We have a great conversation on plant based eating, John's life mottos, social media, haters, and so much more than just plant foods. John is a wonderfully inspiring human and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!  To learn more visit: https://badassvegan.com or follow John on instagram @badassvegan if you would like to work with us and receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email aly@courageouswellness.net or erica@courageouswellness.net  Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!

Whitney Hanson is a poet and tiktok phenomenon with over 1.6 million followers.  Her best-selling book of poetry, “home” is being re-released on May 9th through Penguin Random House, with a new introduction and more than a dozen new poems. Resonant, raw, and vibrant, Home is a lyrical map to navigating heartbreak. Tracing the stages of healing—from the despair that comes with the end of a relationship to the eventual light and liberation that comes with time—the poems in Home provide comfort and solace, while revitalizing your soul. Through Whitney's vulnerability and authenticity, she has connected with thousands of readers and adamantly believes that poetry is not a dead language; rather it is the key to unlocking true vulnerability which leads to deeper connection with one another. Whitney grew up in rural Montana and she now attends university in South Carolina. In this conversation, we get to know Whitney and her journey as a poet, college student and college athlete. We have a beautiful discussion on her poetry and talk a lot about handling social media, with such a large presence that anyone can relate to.

Today we have a really fascinating conversation with Monica Parker, Author of the new book:  The Power of Wonder: The Extraordinary Emotion That Will Change the Way You Live, Learn, and Lead​.”  Monica  is a behavior nerd and founder of HATCH, a world-renowned consultant agency whose corporate clients include Google, Lego, and other Fortune 500 companies. Parker has been an author, speaker, designer, CEO, activist, clown, opera singer. But it was her early career as a homicide investigator defending death row that solidified a deeply profound respect for the power of wonder. There she observed the implications of a life devoid of nature, music, the vastness of the sky, the feel of the wind on your face – the things that bring one wonder. This learning has been a center point for her work since and in The Power of Wonder, she takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey through psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and business to share some of the surprising secrets behind the mechanics of wonder and guides readers in bringing more of it into their lives. Parker's goal is to ignite the wonder-prone part of all us …. And maybe that offer a moment to reconnect and inspire as only moments of wonder can. We have a really detailed conversation with tangible tips on how to bring more wonder into all of our lives.

Today on the podcast we are so pleased to have Sarah Platt Finger. She is the Director of Yoga at Chopra Global, and the co-founder of ISHTA Yoga, LLC. On this episode we discuss her new book Living in the Light: Yoga for Self-Realization, which she co-authored with Dr. Deepak Chopra. The book discusses Royal Yoga, an all-embracing path to personal transformation that reaches beyond any approach to wellness and healing that exists today. It also combines a practical thirty-day program that will help you break limiting habits and belief systems with an in-depth exploration of fifty stimulating and restorative yoga poses. Deepak and Sarah provide a thorough and inspiring way to unite the mind, body, and soul. Sarah believes that the practice of yoga can be used as a microcosm for the reality we create off the mat, and that a deeper awareness of our physical, mental, and emotional patterns can bring us closer to the essence of our being.  To learn more and purchase "Living in the Light"you can visit: https://www.sarahplattfinger.com or follow on instagram @splattfinger If you would like to work with us and receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email aly@courageouswellness.net or erica@courageouswellness.net  Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!
