Podcasts about nourishment

Send us a textAs women, we've been told that feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, or disconnected from our bodies is just part of life — or worse, something we need to hustle harder to fix.More workouts.More food restriction.More rules.More willpower.But what if being a woman wasn't supposed to feel like a full-time job?In today's episode, I'm having a heart-to-heart conversation with you — the kind you'd have with a close friend — about why so many women feel overwhelmed by their health, and how we can step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and calm instead of pressure and perfection.This episode is about simplifying hormonal health, reconnecting to your body, and choosing alignment over burnout.In this episode, we talk about:•Why women feel overloaded by health advice — and why it's not your fault•How symptoms are messages, not failures•The biggest mistake women make when trying to “fix” their hormones•Why doing less (but doing it intentionally) often leads to better results•How stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly sabotage hormone balance•What hormone-aligned living actually looks like in real lifeThe 4 Best Gifts You Can Give Your Hormones This Year:1.Consistency over perfection — why small daily habits matter more than extremes2.Nourishment, not restriction — eating to support blood sugar, metabolism, and hormones3.Movement that supports your cycle and life stage — not punishes your body4.Planned rest, joy, and creativity — because your nervous system needs it to healI also share why I'm being incredibly intentional this year about scheduling rest, creativity, and connection first — before life fills the calendar for me — and how you can do the same without guilt.A Special InvitationIf you're craving space to slow down, learn how your hormones actually work, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, beautiful environment, I'd love to personally invite you to the Mixhers Retreat.This retreat is designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or midlife hormone shifts — especially those who feel stuck, frustrated, or unseen.

The mix of travel, heavier meals and unpredictable schedules can make your body feel different fast, but those shifts are not the setback your mind tells you they are.In this episode we talk about how your strength responds during chaotic seasons, why momentum matters more than perfect structure and how small anchors like movement snacks, protein and hydration keep you connected to yourself when everything else feels messy.We also break down the body image triggers that tend to show up this time of year.

Thank you for joining us this Sunday! For more information please visit www.flourishinggrace.org. In this Week 3 Advent message on Joy, we turn to Isaiah 55:1–11 and hear one of the most generous invitations in all of Scripture: “Come, everyone who thirsts.” This sermon explores what it means to receive joy not as something we manufacture or consume, but as something that flows from communion with God. Set during Advent, this message reminds us that most of our prayers are actually Advent prayers. We pray for hope, peace, joy, and love in moments of suffering, anxiety, loneliness, and exhaustion. But instead of sending us quick fixes or temporary solutions, God gives us Himself. He does not merely provide joy—He is joy. He does not simply send peace—He is peace. Using Isaiah's imagery of water, milk, and wine, this sermon invites us to examine what we are truly thirsty for. Are we longing for refreshment? Nourishment? Delight? And where are we trying to satisfy that thirst? Isaiah challenges a self-sufficient, busy, consuming people—much like us—to slow down, admit our need, and stop spending our lives chasing what never satisfies. This message also confronts the cost of constant consumption. When we live from our own provision rather than God's, we may look successful on the outside but feel empty on the inside. As the sermon unpacks Isaiah 5 and Isaiah 55, we are reminded of a sobering truth: the more we consume, the less we commune. And yet, God's invitation remains wide open. Rather than a checklist or spiritual self-improvement plan, this sermon emphasizes God's initiative. He draws near first. He provides first. He invites us to live from His abundance, not our striving. From that place, Isaiah offers four simple but deeply challenging practices for seeking the Lord: calling upon Him, confessing and returning, humbly trusting His perspective, and allowing His Word to nourish us. The promise at the end of Isaiah 55 is breathtaking. When we live in communion with God, joy and peace are no longer things we chase—they are realities we are led into. Creation itself responds. Landscapes change. Lives are transformed. If you are tired of living from your own strength, if your joy feels depleted, if you are thirsty but unsure what for, this message is for you. You are invited—not to do more—but to come, receive, and live.

Holiday Parenting Tips for Kids:  (Less Stress, More Connection)This week on the podcast, we're wrapping up the year with a short, gentle episode designed to meet you exactly where you are right now — tired, busy, and likely juggling a lot.As the final episode of the year, we share a heartfelt reminder that the holiday season isn't about getting everything “right” with your kids' health. It's about connection, presence, and doing the best you can with the capacity you have. This episode is intentionally light, supportive, and realistic for families navigating the end-of-year rush.Rather than focusing on rules or restrictions, we talk about coming back to simple foundations that support family health without adding more pressure to your plate.Here's what we cover:Why perfection isn't the goal during the holidays and how letting go of unrealistic expectations can ease stress for the whole family.The foundational health basics that matter most right now, including sleep, simple nourishment, and gentle movement.How to reduce emotional overload during a season that can bring grief, complex family dynamics, and self-imposed pressure.Ways to prioritise connection and joy, even when things feel busy, messy, or far from Instagram-perfect.

In this follow-up to “Lord, I've Had Enough”, we look at the next stage of Elijah's journey, the moment when he believes his calling is over. This episode focuses on how easily we misread our circumstances, assume something has ended too soon, and forget that God alone determines our seasons and assignments. Elijah thought he was finished. But God wasn't done with him. We'll explore how God corrects Elijah's perspective, renews his purpose, restores his strength, and leads him into a fresh assignment. If you feel like quitting, questioning your season, or wondering if your purpose has run out, this teaching will help you see the situation through God's eyes. It's not over until God says it's over. Where to dive in: 00:00 – Welcome and Why This Episode Follows the Last One 01:12 – When Life Looks “Over”: Elijah's Perspective Problem 04:01 – Necessary Endings vs. Quitting Too Soon 07:22 – Seeing Yourself in Elijah's Exhaustion 10:44 – How Wrong Thoughts Shape Our Season 12:19 – God Restores Elijah: Rest, Nourishment, Presence 22:20 – Hearing God Clearly and Receiving New Purpose 32:10 – “It's Not Over Until God Says It's Over” About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

a little divine thing that happened yesterday. The words ROOTS and NOURISHMENT were on my mind… and then it got texted to me!!! how “ironic”. be blessed by this audio. ✝️

The provided text is an excerpt from a sermon titled "Peace” which focuses on the theme of peace during the Advent season. The speaker uses Psalm 23:2 ("He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.") as the central biblical text to illustrate how the guidance of the Shepherd (God) produces the blessing of peace. This peace is explored through three key points: I can have peace because my needs are met, my mind is content, and my soul is fed. The sermon incorporates personal anecdotes, contrasts the world's chaos with divine rest, and emphasizes that spiritual nourishment is essential for maintaining peace amidst life's struggles.Support the showThanks for listening!

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.

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.

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. We talked to Zach Rodvold with Second Harvest Heartland on the latest with this, how people can help and the overall importance of these benefits!

“I believe what we're doing is based on something that's good for healing people and healing the planet. So, we're always organic and we're always working with regenerative organic farmers. 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. What if the values that ground us—nourishment, balance, and purpose—were also the very things that drive sustainable success? An acupuncturist turned entrepreneur, Neka Pasquale has built Urban Remedy from her kitchen into a movement by pairing holistic values with smart business. 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. Since founding Urban Remedy over 13 years ago, she has grown the company from a local business in Marin, California, to a national brand featured in Whole Foods and other major retailers.

 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.

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.
