Podcasts about nourishment

Most female founders are trying to scale on top of a body that's running on empty — and then blaming their mindset, discipline, or strategy when things feel hard.In this episode, we're talking about true nourishment: not another diet, not another “plan,” but the cellular, nervous-system, and energetic fuel your body needs to actually hold the business you're building.You'll learn why your food choices are not just a “health thing,” but a core business strategy that determines your clarity, capacity, and ability to lead.And if you're thinking, I need this especially for the holidays, I'll also share how the Holiday Survival Kit can support you in staying nourished and grounded in the busiest season of the year.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARNWhat “true nourishment” really is for female entrepreneurs (beyond diet culture and “food is just fuel”)How food acts as an energetic message to your cells, nervous system, and leadershipThe cellular impact of blood sugar instability on your focus, mood, and decision-makingWhy high-achieving women dismiss their bodies while trying to scale their businessesThe real cost of building a bigger business on a dysregulated, underfed bodyHow to discern between “all foods are equal” messaging and what actually supports your performanceThe connection between nourishment, nervous system regulation, and your capacity to handle stressPractical first steps to fueling yourself in a way that matches the business you're asking to growRESOURCES MENTIONED

The holidays are here—beautiful, meaningful, and… overwhelming.

Leigh Ann and Kelly discuss the nuanced differences between soul care and self-care, especially during the holiday season. They explore how traditional self-care routines can sometimes become just another item on the to-do list, losing their emotional nourishment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of soul care, which often involves unproductive yet deeply fulfilling activities that nourish the spirit. Leigh Ann shares personal insights and practices, such as journaling and mindful walks, to illustrate how small, intentional actions can provide significant soul nourishment. The episode also offers practical advice for navigating holiday stress, setting boundaries, and finding joy in everyday moments. Leigh Ann and Kelly encourage listeners to reassess their holiday traditions, identify misalignments, and make small changes to create a more authentic and nourishing holiday experience.Product Discount Codes + Links2025 Holistic Holiday Gift Guide: HereHerbal Face Food: Website (Discount Code: LAL30)Prolon Fast-Mimicking Program: Website (Discount Link Gives 25% off) Healing Alchemy Membership: Learn MoreWork w/Leigh AnnLearn: What is EVOX Therapy?Book: Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery CallMembership: What is The Healing Alchemy MembershipRelated EpisodesPodcast Ep. 200: Leigh Ann Lindsey - What I've Learned After 200 Episodes!Podcast Ep. 176: Leigh Ann Lindsey - How I Work with Cancer Patients to Address Emotional Root Causes to Disease Connect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

Send us a textThe Dream Stela: When the Sphinx Chose a PharaohHidden beneath the sands of Giza lies a mystery that has puzzled seekers for centuries: Did the Sphinx once have a twin? And why did it speak to a young prince, promising him the throne of Egypt?In this video, we explore the Dream Stela of Thutmose IV, an ancient inscription that tells the story of how the Sphinx itself chose a pharaoh. From the lion-bodied guardian of eternity to the sacred horizon (Aët) guarded by twin cosmic lions, we uncover the spiritual science, hidden codes, and suppressed traditions buried beneath centuries of silence.

I share two of my own stories – the rash that kept showing up on the right side of my face, and the colon scare that hit during one of the angriest seasons of my life – and how both matched this framework with borderline uncomfortable precision.If you've ever been told your symptoms are random, mysterious, or “just stress,” this conversation offers a very different lens.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:08:22] Your symptoms are always telling the truth[00:11:04] Dr. Hamer's devastating loss, testicular cancer and the creation of the First Biological Law[00:18:55] What a real conflict shock is and why it's more than just being stressed out[00:25:11] The Five Biological Laws[01:06:29] The arrogance of not respecting, trusting and understanding nature's design[01:18:27] Why Ted Kaczynski's early separation trauma explains his later violent patterns[01:24:15] What happens when territorial anger and identity conflict strike at the same time[01:30:44] Brain layers, hormones, and hierarchy biology[01:44:49] How does our belief impact our physiology and symptoms?[02:02:15] Why doesn't everyone who experiences the same conflict develop symptoms?[02:23:13] Why seizures happen according to German New Medicine[02:37:22] Why do young babies get sick?[02:39:20] Can belief override or amplify the physical effects of harmful or beneficial substances?[02:46:22] Your body is infinitely adaptable, if you're relaxed[02:56:34] Is German New Medicine truly a universal biological law?[03:00:55] What to do when you can't figure out what the conflict was that is causing your symptoms[03:04:30] How to actually resolve your conflicts & why are there some conflicts you might not want to resolve?[03:09:26] When the healing phase would be too intense, surgery is still a good option[03:41:23] How your internal story shapes whether you lean into victimhood or transformation[03:43:29] Similarities between Traditional Chinese Medicine and German New Medicine[03:49:17] What allergies really are[03:59:01] Bringing conflicts into consciousness can offer immediate resolution[04:00:12] Detective work stories of deciphering conflicts and symptoms[04:12:52] Why forcing healing doesn't workResources Mentioned:The Way Forward episode on German New Medicine with Dr. Melissa Sell | Apple or SpotifyDr. Hamer | WebsiteGHK Self Study Bundle | WebsiteUse discount code TWF50 and save $50 off Melissa's course The Bio-Logical Woman starting February 2026.Find more from Dr. Melissa:Dr. Melissa Sell | WebsiteDr. Melissa Sell | YouTubeDr. Melissa Sell | FacebookDr. Melissa Sell | InstagramDr. Melissa Sell | XFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.

In this transformative episode, Brooke sits down with Jes— a holistic Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) coach, root-cause practitioner, and home-birth mother— to discuss a new way forward for women experiencing severe nausea in pregnancy. Jes shares her personal healing journey, how she entered the world of holistic pregnancy support, and why so many women with HG are dismissed within conventional care.Together, they dig into the deeper layers of HG through a root-cause pregnancy and functional medicine lens. Jes breaks down the clues behind HG: antihistamine pathways, B6, minerals, nutrient co-factors, and how modalities like TCM, GNM, Ayurvedic wisdom, and Western medicine can blend to offer more complete holistic pregnancy care. They also explore how to differentiate standard morning sickness from true HG, the biological purpose of nausea and vomiting, and the impact of underlying factors such as H. pylori, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic depletion.Jes introduces her newest offering, The Human Blueprint, and shares supportive, accessible approaches for women seeking natural HG relief, functional pregnancy support, and deeper understanding during early pregnancy.If you want a compassionate, evidence-informed, and holistic perspective on HG, this episode is essential listening.Where to Find Jes:Instagram: @the_wellness_element & @bornfrom.herWebsite: BornFromHer.comPhotography: @futureselfcreativeConnect:Email us to say hi: ⁠⁠⁠holywildbirth@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠Put in a request for future topics and/or submit a question for future Q&A episodes: ⁠⁠⁠Fill out the form⁠⁠⁠Apply to tell your birth story on the podcast: ⁠⁠⁠Holy Wild Birth Podcast : Guest Application⁠⁠⁠Hang out with us and other Holy Wild Women in our private community (off Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠Rooted in Eden PMA⁠⁠⁠Become a holy, wild birthkeeper with us inside ⁠⁠⁠Hearthmother Journey⁠⁠⁠From Lauren:⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠Midwifery consults: Email  ⁠⁠⁠rootedinedenpma@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠From Brooke:⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust God, Trust Birth Workshop⁠⁠⁠ - a 5-part high-level roadmap to a confident home birth (pay what you can)⁠⁠⁠Faith-Filled Home Birth Workshop ⁠⁠⁠- a free, 3-part video series delivered to your inbox⁠⁠⁠Embrace Birth Journey ⁠⁠⁠- comprehensive and holistic faith-based home birth preparation (courses + private community)Intro and Outra Music Credit -Betty Dear By ⁠⁠⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠⁠⁠ is licensed under a ⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons License⁠⁠⁠.

​I remember the very slow realization as I started to embody my binges that food was never going to give me what I was looking for. It felt crushing to face. I'd been utilizing food as a way to try to help myself feel better, safer, more grounded and I felt so much grief that this strategy was never going to work.Over the years in private practice, I noticed almost every single person I worked with experience this moment of deep grief. I now have a term for this called Food Grief. Food recovery is a process of saying goodbye to strategies that worked as a child and no longer work now as an adult.Grieving any food coping mechanism is feeling the body unlearning an old survival pattern. Food Grief is your body reorienting to the present and that you no longer need to protect yourself like you did in the past.In this week's episode, I chat with Syanna Wand, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of Interpersonal Embodied Healing about: Understanding grief in healingThe somatic concept of armoringNavigating grief and reliefThe importance of resourcing yourselfBuilding capacity to be with your emotionsGenerational griefEmbracing grief and creating a relationship with itYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/grief-is-crucial-for-trauma-recoveryReminder that my Somatic Eating® Intensive is on sale for 30% off until Tuesday, December 2nd. ​Purchase with the coupon code SEI30! https://www.stephaniemara.com/learn#coursesWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Syanna: Website: www.syannawand.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syannawand/ Email: sy@syannawand.comSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

In this episode of the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast, we're exploring a truly beautiful concept in Ayurvedic wisdom, Sneha, a Sanskrit word that means both oil and love. And that's no coincidence. Sneha is the essence of softness, warmth, and care that keeps our body, mind, and heart supple. It's both nourishment and an act of conscious love, a daily reminder that tending to ourselves is not selfish, but sacred. In this episode, Colette shares how Sneha can be practiced both externally through self-oiling rituals like abhyanga, and internally through nourishing fats such as ghee or medicated oils. You'll also discover how Sneha softens not only the physical body but also the mind and emotions, helping to cultivate resilience, calm, and compassion in your daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: The dual meaning of Sneha in Sanskrit and why oiling is an act of love The difference between external Sneha and internal Sneha  How Sneha supports physical health, from joint mobility and skin nourishment to digestion and immunity The emotional and psychological benefits of Sneha for calming Vata, reducing stress, and fostering self-compassion How to personalize your Sneha practice for each dosha and season Simple, daily Sneha rituals you can try at home, even if you only have a few minutes Links & Resources Sponsor: Kerala Ayurveda Academy – Advance your Ayurvedic education with the Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner (AAP) Program.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Melanie Lutz, author of "Everything is Soup: Sicilian Wisdom, Nourishment and Recipes for a Delicious Life."    In the book, Lutz combines her Sicilian and Jewish roots, along with her love of storytelling.   "Soup is life," author Melanie Lutz believes. "When we make a delicious soup that we can serve, we're sharing what we love and we're showing that we care."   With more than 18 seasonal soup recipes, handwritten notes, and ancestral sayings, the mixture of food memories and wisdom is as filling as it is fulfilling.   While there is clearly a huge Sicilian component to the book, Lutz also included a nod to her Jewish roots in honor of Stuart Norman Levy, a member on her Jewish side, who passed away while she was writing the book.   "His recipe … Stu's stew is a hodgepodge of everything that you love," Lutz says. "[It] supports you and is there for you … he served it up and made it just magic for anyone who sat down and, and shared a bowl with him." Get the recipe at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   Melanie Lutz talks about the origin story behind "Everything is Soup" and why she loves soup so much. She also shares the meanings behind "stirring the pot," tips for becoming more at one with soup, and more.   "The vortex of a bowl of soup and the fact that we're largely made up of water … when you stir the pot, you create this alchemical experience of opening the heart," she explains. "Any soup that you put together becomes … this way that we connect through generations of the earth's elements."   Learn more at MelsLoveLand.com and grab a copy of "Everything is Soup."   For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

In this deeply soulful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with May Lindstrom, founder of May Lindstrom Skin, to explore the intimate connection between sensitivity, ritual, and true nourishment. Known for her artisanal, plant-based formulations and sensory-rich approach to beauty, May shares how her lifelong struggle with eczema led her to create skincare that heals rather than hides — born from necessity, curiosity, and love.Raised in the natural stillness of northern Minnesota, May found refuge in the earth's elements — clays, oils, honey, and herbs — long before “clean beauty” became a movement. “It's not that skincare is bad,” she reflects. “It's just not made for me.” That realization sparked a philosophy rooted in respect for the skin as a living organ, not a canvas for correction. Her formulations — minimal, potent, and entirely natural — focus on feeding the skin what it recognizes, not overwhelming it with synthetics.Her cult-favorite creation, The Blue Cocoon, captures that essence — a calming blue balm made with blue tansy, designed to soothe inflammation, heal sensitivity, and offer a moment of self-grounding. “It's like a hug for your skin,” May says. “A reminder to slow down and care.”This episode is a meditation on slowing down in a world obsessed with surface perfection. Tune in as May Lindstrom and Dr. Ekta explore how skincare can be both science and soul — an act of self-connection that begins and ends with care.Shop May Lindstrom SkinCHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:38 – Defining Sensitive Skin & Root Causes2:22 – Early Experiences & Family Influence5:05 – Discovering Natural Healing Through Clay & Plants7:30 – The Unspoken Truth About Sensitive Skin & Industry Gaps8:12 – Treating Skin as an Organ, Not a Surface12:13 – Ingredients to Avoid & The Power of Simplicity17:47 – Creating with Intention: Ritual Over Trend21:39 – The Blue Cocoon: A Symbol of Healing & Ritual25:02 – Nourishment, Longevity & Final ReflectionsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

Your Higher Self holds the wisdom your body has been craving.Yes, this hypnotic journey may give you insights about food choices and habits. But the nourishment I speak of goes deeper than that. It's about quenching the unsettled, unwavering craving so many of us carry.Your higher self holds the wisdom your body has been craving.Yes, this hypnotic journey may give you insights about food choices and habits. But the nourishment I speak of goes deeper than that. It's about quenching the unsettled, unwavering craving so many of us carry.What I was hungry for was a life that lit me up. Once I found the things that truly nourished me (mind, body, and soul), food became simple. Moving my body became simple. Eating to fuel my body felt easy. Passing up old crutches wasn't a battle anymore. And when I do indulge, I don't feel any kind of way about it because I know I won't be out of balance too long. I know what satisfies me in mind body and soul (they don't have to be at war, they have a lot in common actually). I'm not a doctor, and this isn't a miracle cure. But connecting to what nourishes me changed everything: how I see my body, the foods I choose, and the joy I feel in both.In this hypnotic journey, you'll rise into the wisdom of your higher self and bring back insights about bringing more satisfaction and harmony into your daily life.Specifically, you can get answers about...What - for real - nourishes you in body, mind, soulWhat blocks you from nourishing yourself, doing things that nourish youWhat can you do more of or start doing that would help you feel nourished and satisfied in your everyday life.What are your next steps when it comes to nourishing your body, mind, soulIf you take this journey, comment below and tell me what you got or send me an email: hi@jinaseer.com :)// TIME STAMPS // 0:00 - 4:10 :: A few mins for me to tee-up this journey for you4:11 - 30:03 :: Journey to your Higher Self// MORE HYP JOURNEY INFO + PREP // Access the PDF, hypnotic track and more here - https://www.jinaseer.com/session-prepEpisode 3 - Anatomy of a Past Life RegressionEpisode 214 - Awareness: Your New RealityEpisode 215 - Anatomy of a Hypnotic Journey: Another Lifetime, Higher Self & SuggestionEpisode 233 - Feel Nourished | Theme Preview - Hypnotic Journeys// THE VIDEO // I emerged from my office, taking a break from podcast editing.

In this episode of The Fitness League, Lara opens up about her deeply personal journey from battling food guilt and body image struggles to stepping into a stronger, more empowered version of herself. With the guidance of her coach, Lara shifted her focus from weight loss to fueling for performance, building a healthier relationship with food, and celebrating her body for what it can do — not just how it looks. She shares how injury setbacks became opportunities for growth, how prehab and mindset work changed her approach to training, and why redefining success beyond the scale was the key to long-term progress. Whether you're in the thick of a mindset reset or just starting your own journey, Lara's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible — and it starts from within.

What if I told you that the eating disorder you're battling isn't really about food at all—it's about rejection? In this deeply personal episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own rejection story and how those painful moments shaped my relationship with food, my body, and control. From being told to "get in line by size" at dance practice to corporate disappointments and broken friendships, I'm sharing the rejection wounds that led me down the path of disordered eating. Here's the truth: perfectionism is rejection prevention. It's the way your brain tries to avoid the emotional trauma of feeling "not enough." And your eating disorder? It offers the illusion of protection—a false comfort that promises to fix everything and prevent future rejection. But the only thing it really does is lead to the deepest rejection of all: rejecting your own worthiness. Today, we're dissecting rejection together. I'm meeting you in that painful place so you can discover what I've learned: your rejection story can become your redemption story. Rejection isn't the end—it's God's protection, His redirection, and often the most powerful motivator for transformation. If you've been shrinking yourself to fit into spaces you were rejected from, this episode is your invitation to take up space again, feel free again, and reject the rejection that was never yours to carry. What You'll Learn: [02:30] The moment everything changed: My dance practice rejection story and how one comment shifted my entire relationship with my body [05:00] Why perfectionism is actually rejection prevention—and how it fuels your eating disorder [07:15] The cycle that keeps you stuck: Fear of rejection → False control → Isolation → Disordered eating behaviors → Reinforced rejection fears [09:45] How early experiences shape your relationship with safety (and why you desperately want to be seen, heard, and loved) [12:00] Protection strategies your brain uses: Numbing through restriction, creating physical armor through body changes, food rituals as predictable comfort [15:30] My personal rejection timeline: From Disney on Ice to corporate promotions, college boyfriends to broken friendships—the moments that shaped my story [18:00] The powerful reframe: Rejection is God's protection and redirection. What would you have missed if those doors had stayed open? [20:30] How recovered people reject rejection—practical steps to heal and move forward [23:00] The three questions to ask when rejection voices show up: "So what? Says who? Who cares?" Key Takeaways:

In this sermon, we explored the metaphor of marriage as a garden, focusing on the "weeds" that can choke out the health and fruitfulness of our relationships. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25-33, we examined both humorous and serious examples of marital "weeds"—habits, attitudes, and priorities that undermine intimacy and unity. We discussed the importance of giving marriage its own space, maintaining proper priorities (God, spouse, then children), and the dangers of boredom, hidden agendas, and selfishness. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we were challenged to examine our own hearts, seek God's guidance, and intentionally invest in our marriages with honesty, humility, and selfless love.

I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns. But part of food recovery has to include explorations around food itself. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How food can be a role model for the felt sense of safetyWhy eating is a somatic practice What to look out for when using food as a safety cue How to know when you're ready for this kind of somatic practice You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-food-choices-can-remind-your-body-how-to-feel-safeThis current Somatic Eating® Program class is already filling up! In the Somatic Eating® Program:Receive weekly live classes for 3 months3 Somatic Eating® Community Meals to practice what you're learningDiscover a somatic, trauma, nervous system, and nutritional approach to food behaviors like binge eating, chronic emotional eating, yo yo dieting, restriction, and body image concernsIncrease your understanding of your body through my Safety-Satiety Sequence to create a safe, secure, and satiated relationship with foodIf you can't attend the live classes, all calls are recorded to watch the replay and you can reach out between classes in a group space for additional support.There are 12 days left to sign up and I would love to get to connect with you for the next 3 months exploring your food patterns together. Sign up here: https://www.somaticeating.com/I hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

So many aspects of the current government shutdown have come to light - one of them this week is the stoppage of SNAP benefits for those in need of food that cannot afford it.

And we're sticking to that mission and values, which is really important to me, because those are things that are always going to be good for you and for the…planet.” —Neka Pasquale   Sometimes, wellness feels like a luxury instead of a way of life. Between the stress of business, family, and bills, it's easy to put health last until the cost of burnout catches up.

Her journey shows that growth doesn't come from chasing trends but from honoring what genuinely heals and sustains people. This week, Justine and Neka provide clear, usable lessons about product-first growth, sourcing, hiring leadership, bootstrapped problem-solving, pivoting retail models, investor trade-offs, and how to scale without losing the values that made you special.   Meet Neka: Neka Pasquale is the founder of Urban Remedy, a nationally recognized organic food company rooted in the philosophy of food as medicine. With a background as a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Neka has dedicated her career to promoting health and wellness through functional, organic, and healing foods.

As the crisp air settles in and the leaves begin to fall, there's an undeniable pull to hustle — to get ready for the holidays, to finish up the year's goals, to be productive. But here's the truth: autumn is not the time to rush. It's a season for nourishment, for slowing down, and for truly recharging both your body and soul. In today's episode of The Slow Living Podcast, we're diving deep into the beauty of using autumn as a time to nurture yourself — not as a luxury, but as a necessity.

 In this sermon, we continued our journey through Ephesians 5, focusing on the metaphor of marriage as a garden, specifically the role of "water"—the nurturing influence wives bring to the relationship. We explored how words and attitudes can either nourish or poison the marriage, using the story of David and Michal from 2 Samuel 6 as a cautionary tale about how even well-intentioned correction can go terribly wrong if delivered without grace. The message highlighted the unique power wives have to build up or tear down their husbands through their words, and the deep insecurities men often carry as a result of the fall. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we were challenged to use our words to bless, not curse, and to focus on moving forward together rather than digging up the past. The call was to be intentional in nurturing our marriages, choosing grace, encouragement, and a forward-looking perspective.

Fall is here, and it's one of my favorite times to reset, slow down, and reconnect with what feels grounding and good. In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite fall things, from the foods that nourish your body to the cozy routines that support your mind and mood. You'll learn how to support your immune system naturally, eat in rhythm with the season, and bring more intention into your movement and daily routines. Think warm soups, slow walks, breathwork, and gratitude... the simple things that make this time of year feel balanced and alive.

This week's intention feels both simple and wildly challenging: I will nourish myself first.We're taught that putting ourselves first is selfish, even wrong. But as I've been reminded again and again, when I fill my own cup—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—what flows out into the world is more authentic, more generous, and far less effortful. Nourishment from the inside radiates outward.In this episode, I share how I'm practicing this in small but powerful ways. These moments may seem small, but they ripple out in big ways.So this week I invite you to ask yourself: What does it look like to nourish yourself first? Remember, we're the only ones that can give ourselves what we truly need. It starts with us.LINKS:* Pre-Order Nicki's new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/weekly-intention-3* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Podcast episode with Meggan Watterson: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/meggan-watterson This is a public episode.

Today, my guest is Katherine Arnston, founder of Energy Bits, who shares her personal journey of turning a family health crisis into a mission to empower women through nutrition. Katherine discusses the incredible benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, as potent superfoods that can enhance women's health, especially during menopause. She delves into the science behind these microalgae, their nutritional value, and their role in combating inflammation and supporting mitochondrial health. Today's conversation emphasizes the importance of lifestyle choices, including sleep and movement, in achieving optimal health and longevity. Katherine's passion for educating others about the power of algae shines through, making a compelling case for its inclusion in daily diets.   Time Stamps:   (00:29) From Crisis to Calling: The Birth of Energy Bits (07:59) Understanding Algae: Nature's Superfood for Longevity (15:28) The Role of Algae in Women's Health and Menopause (22:52) Mitochondria and Inflammation: The Hidden Connection (28:48) Nourishment and Cravings: The Nutritional Gap (31:10) Understanding Nutrition and Toxins (36:10) The Role of Mitochondria in Energy Production (40:04) It's Never Too Late to Start (43:17) The Importance of Sleep and Movement (48:31) The Benefits of Spirulina and Chlorella (54:20) Algae: A Nutritional Powerhouse ------------------- Website: https://energybits.com Code CAROLCOVINO for 20% off   Energy Bits Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/energybits/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catharinearnston/ ------------------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/ -------------------- My YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/@carolcovinofitness -------------------- My Book:  FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PAUSE

Today's message focused on the metaphor of marriage as a garden, specifically on the importance of “watering” it with our words, as described in Ephesians 5:25-29. We explored what it means for husbands to “wash” their wives with the water of the word—not just through Bible study, but through the daily spoken words that affirm, cleanse, and sanctify. Drawing from Genesis and the Song of Solomon, we saw how words have the power to shape reality, heal wounds from the curse, and create a world of grace in marriage. The sermon challenged husbands to use their words to affirm and accentuate their wives, rather than focusing on faults, and to be intentional in building up rather than tearing down. For those who are single or whose spouse is absent, the message pointed to the ultimate Shepherd King—Jesus—who speaks love and affirmation over us, making us secure in His love.

You may not think twice about paying that extra fee for canned soda, beer, seltzer, and other drinks at the grocery store, but how often do you bring the cans back to the store to get your money back? Over the years, Jeff Dinneen of Needham has made it his mission to collect those cans, redeem them, and use the money to supply the Needham Community Council with much-needed food and milk for local residents in need. He talks with Nichole this week about his inspiration, his process, and how you can help keep the project going.

Revitalizing Life Through Food with Cloe Parker | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this compelling episode of the Hopeaholics podcast, we sat down with Cloe Parker, the young owner of Parker Pastures, a regenerative agriculture meat company dedicated to providing clean, nutrient-dense beef, bison, lamb, pork, and chicken. Cloe opened up about her journey, growing up on a ranch, grappling with severe teenage anxiety and depression that led to suicidal thoughts, and finding faith and purpose through a transformative encounter with a deer and her fawns. She shared how, at 19, she returned home to manage the family ranch after her mother's stage 4 cancer diagnosis, taking over Parker Pastures just before her mother's passing, and facing near bankruptcy in the first year while navigating grief and a broken food system. The hosts and Cloe dove into the corruption of the U.S. food industry, discussing misleading labels like "grass-fed" versus "grass-finished," the harmful use of chemicals and corn feed that disrupts animal health and soil vitality, and the power of regenerative grazing to restore ecosystems and produce healthier meat. Chad shared how clean eating, inspired by Cloe and biohacker Gary Brecka, normalized his high blood pressure without medication, while Natalie reflected on her hunting experiences, emphasizing the gratitude and spiritual connection to ethically sourced food. They explored how modern disconnection—fueled by processed foods, social media, and lack of community—contributes to mental health issues like anxiety and addiction, with Cloe advocating for knowing your food's source through local farmers.If you are interested in purchasing grass-fed & finished meat check out:https://parkerpastures.com#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Today's podcast might be the most powerful one yet. ✨ I sit down with feminist theologian + bestselling author Meggan Watterson to talk about embodiment, rage, and the radical nourishment of the early Christ movement.What struck me most is how Meggan reframes personal power—not as dominance, but as the courage to embody our truth. We also talk about rage, not as something to suppress, but as critical information guiding us toward love.And then there's nourishment. The early Christ followers gathered in small supper clubs—not to proselytize dogma, but to break bread, feed one another, and create spaces of safety and belonging. Their focus was on sustenance, both physical and spiritual.This kind of communion, Meggan reminds us, creates an alchemy that fuels imagination and creativity, helping us step into the world as our truest selves—and as agents of change. This episode is truly soul food—fuel for imagination, creativity, and stepping into your own power.

Dr. Courtney shares insights from her work with athletes and perinatal clients, along with lived experience of pregnancy nausea, food aversions, and postpartum adjustment. We also explore how neurodiversity, ADHD, and autistic sensory needs shape care, and why weight-inclusive, consent-based support matters for parents. What You'll Learn How pregnancy, medical monitoring, and rapid body changes can activate perfectionism, control seeking, and body dissatisfaction The effects of weight stigma in prenatal and postpartum care, and what weight-inclusive providers do differently Why severe nausea and food aversions can persist after birth, and how to support flexible, adequate nourishment Breastfeeding, pumping, and formula choices through a nonjudgmental, mental health first lens Sensory overload in pregnancy and the fourth trimester, including smell sensitivity and tactile overwhelm Athletes, performance culture, and disordered eating patterns that can resurface in the perinatal period How to protect recovery when social media pushes “bounce back” messages Building a trusted, affirming care team that honors intersectionality and neurodiversity Key Takeaways Your body will change during pregnancy and after birth, and that reality deserves compassion, not comparison. Weight-inclusive prenatal and postpartum care improves outcomes by removing shame and centering consent. Feeding decisions work best when they support the caregiver's mental health and the baby's needs, not a rigid ideal. Sensory supports reduce distress. Use smell blockers, quieter environments, comfortable fabrics, and predictable routines. Curate your feeds. Unfollow “get your body back” influencers and follow licensed, values-aligned clinicians. Recovery helps you show up for your baby and for yourself. Nourishment and rest are part of caring for your family.

Somatic Therapy, Nervous System Regulation, and Expanding Capacity for Rest: An Interview with Linda Thai Curt and Katie chat with Linda Thai, LMSW, ERYT-200 about practical, culturally aware somatic tools therapists can use, helping clients (and themselves) expand capacity for rest, and integrating bottom-up work ethically when working with trauma survivors and adult children of refugees and immigrants. Full show notes and transcripts available at mtsgpodcast.com. About Our Guest: Linda Thai, LMSW, ERYT-200 Linda Thai is a trauma therapist and educator specializing in brain- and body-based modalities for addressing complex developmental trauma. She teaches mindfulness, grief tending, and somatic practices with a special focus on adult children of refugees and immigrants. Linda has assisted Dr. Bessel van der Kolk in psychotherapy workshops on attachment trauma and offers trainings and courses worldwide. Key Takeaways for Therapists Gentle rocking and orienting to distance are accessible entry points for regulation. Track SUNs (Subjective Units of Nourishment) as well as distress in sessions. Somatic work expands capacity for rest, not just activation. Therapists must contextualize disembodiment within colonization, hustle culture, and systemic exploitation. Choose teachers and communities that match your style before committing to long trainings.
