Bonnie Wright's strong connection to the ocean developed in childhood, when she spent her weekends on the beach on the south coast of England. As an artist, she drew inspiration from the sea—and over time, as she witnessed the beach become ever more littered with trash and erosion and climate change  threaten the coastline, she was inspired into activism, too. On the final episode of season 1, she chats with Evanna about her book, Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet, in which she shares approachable tips on how to live more sustainably to empower readers to reduce their environmental impact. For Bonnie, going gently means combining action with care. She reveals how she softened her approach to climate advocacy while writing the book as she came to deeply understand the nuances and complexities of the issue and saw the benefits of giving people space to make their advocacy personal and sustainable. And for Harry Potter fans, Bonnie delves into her love and admiration for Ginny Weasley, the character she played in the movie franchise; how the role shaped who she is today; and why she believes the Weasley family are eco-conscious! Best known for her work as an actress playing Ginny Weasley in all eight of the Harry Potter films, Bonnie Wright has since stepped behind the camera, directing shorts, commercials, and music videos, including projects that have premiered at the Cannes and Tribeca film festivals. Her passion for storytelling has also led her to record several audiobooks.  Bonnie is a passionate advocate for ocean health and its link to our own health. Her book Go Gently was published earlier this year and explores practical and tangible ways we can take action for our environment and community. She also launched a YouTube channel examining the same themes as the book in a more intimate and diaristic form.  Bonnie is committed to using her platform to further her own education around climate and humanitarian issues and to communicate her findings in an engaging way to her followers. She is an ambassador with Greenpeace, Kiss the Ground, and the Rainforest Alliance. Check out Bonnie's book Go Gently and her accompanying YouTube channel. Follow Bonnie on Instagram and Twitter.

Lisa is joined by Marcus Bridgewater, aka Garden Marcus who talks about his book, How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture YourselfMarcus Bridgewater, widely known as Garden Marcus, is an author, plant enthusiast, and CEO & Founder of Choice Forward. He began gardening when he bought his first house nearly seven years ago. After killing nine of his original 16 plants, he found himself determined to learn how to care for all living things. He now has around 500 plants at his Texas home. He developed his internet presence by connecting his observations in his garden to greater life lessons, and has been featured in the New York Times, Vogue, and the Los Angeles Times. When he is not in his garden, he is leading presentations, workshops, and seminars with Choice Forward. His first book, “How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture Yourself,” (HarperOne, 2022) debuts May 24th.Book Description: In this transformative guide, TikTok's most popular gardener, Marcus Bridgewater—aka Garden Marcus—offers lessons for growth rooted in lessons from the plant world to help cultivate the soul.Marcus Bridgewater has been compared to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers for his soothing TikTok videos that relate botany to humanity. A gardener “who shares tips about caring for one's plants and oneself” (New York Times) and “is not only a trove of information if you're looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the world” (Vogue), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth. Centered on a trinity of wellbeing—Mental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, How to Grow weaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcus's life to help you foster personal development. With lessons rooted in his experiences gardening—from how a replanted flourishing sweet potato vine is a reminder that all living things benefit from a change of scene, to how to embrace patience to foster growth—this inspiring guide helps you do “the dirty work” (pun intended) to discover kindness, patience, and positivity within. “We cannot make anything grow,” he advises. “But we can foster an environment where it may grow.”How to Grow isn't a gardening book. It is a self-help book that draws inspiration from the garden. Original, timely, and filled with nurturing wisdom, it takes perennial knowledge from plants to teach us about ourselves and opens our eyes to what we are capable of achieving.

Aren't we all inspired by people who have taken their favorite hobby, or their little side hustle, or their craft–and they invested in it, they loved it so much that it became their main thing? In this series, we've introduced a variety of pastimes we all can enjoy this summer–the kinds of things that give us that break from the daily grind–but in doing so, we're also talking to folks who took the leap to make their pastime their career. And in this episode, we're giving a nod to a pastime that's been exploding over the past few years–a love for plants and gardening! For many, gardening has long been a part of their favorite pastimes, but we're seeing it become more accessible to weekend gardeners, others who thought they could never be good at it, or those who thought the whole proposition of keeping another living thing fed and watered was overwhelming at best. Marcus Bridgewater, aka, Garden Marcus, is our horticultural guide to the secret of growing healthy plants, and simultaneously, becoming more healthy ourselves. He presides over an insanely popular Instagram account, is a content creator and a CEO of his company Choice Forward, where he offers workshops, presentations, life coaching, and more to empower individuals and strengthen communities. Jen shares the story of her metamorphosis from becoming a plant murderer to plant mom with the advent of two little hanging plants entrusted to her by friends in a season where she was struggling to nurture herself; much less two plants. Marcus also gives us a peek into his new book, How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture Yourself, and shows that it is possible to keep ourselves, our loved ones and our plants thriving and growing.   * * * Thank you to our sponsors!   Betterhelp | Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/forthelove.   MeCourse | Save $20 on the parenting MeCourse using the code Parenting20 at mecourse.org.

Thought-Provoking Quotes   “Not to deter people from plant care, but taking care of plants can be a science in a way. There are lots of levels of thought and things to consider, lots of variables that affect them, but the rewards are so cosmic that it makes all of that effort worth it.” – Marcus Bridgewater   “Every time I walked into the garden, it made me a better teacher, it made me a better friend, a better person.” – Marcus Bridgewater “All living things respond to vibration. Your voice is a collection of vibrations, and so this means your voice can be a valuable tool if you use it wisely. So, be conscious of how you use your voice, because if you're not using your voice with kindness, chances are you're not building community.” – Marcus Bridgewater   “There's no reason to not get plants, but there is also no reason to have them and have them decline and have them cost you. They're an incredible tool and that tool can become a vice if we are not conscious.” – Marcus Bridgewater   “We need to plant seeds of love, kindness, patience, and positivity so that we can grow wholesome roots, that will yield trees of prosperity, which will then yield fruits of success that we can all enjoy. And I think that if we are more conscious of those seeds, we can live in a future that has a forest of prosperity for us to all enjoy.” – Marcus Bridgewater  Marcus's LinksWebsite Facebook  Instagram Twitter   Books & Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeChoice Forward  How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture Yourself - Marcus Bridgewater  Dana Hammarstrom - Co-Founder of Choice Forward    Plants Mentioned From Easiest to Hardest to Maintain Philodendron Giganteum Dieffenbachia Silver Sword Philodendron Asparagus Fern  Bromeliads Pothos  Sweet Potato Ivy  Snake Plants  Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's InstagramJen's Twitter Jen's FacebookJen's YouTube

Tips to Design + Flo with Love, Part 2 of 2, Ep.49   The holidays are meant to be merry and bright.  And, let's face it, sometimes they're not.  The end of the year is a natural “ending”, a goodbye that can bring up emotions of sadness, remorse, regret, and fear (even if it's a welcomed good-bye).  We remember those we have lost.  We might struggle to “buy all the things” and give gifts, which packs-a-punch to our wallets!!  We are busier, bustling, and sleep-deprived.  The more we fight those feelings, push them down and run away from them … the stronger they can become.  So, I invite you to pause…slow down (a little!).  And breathe.  Take some time to honor your experience.  Process your emotions.  Give space to your thoughts and memories.  I KNOW this helps, regardless of the season.  Trust me.   This holiday season and beyond, maximize your connection, love, and joy with these three tips: Get ReadyPrepare Pause, check in with yourself Get Real What are your expectations? Who are you going to see? What will you eat/drink? How does that usually go? Probably will go the same!! Can't control others.  You can control your response to others. Get RightWith yourself. Carry what you need. - peace, strength, protection, love, kindness, forgiveness, gratitude, confidence, etc. In your Heart, in the palm of your hand. What you carry, you also share with others.   The Design+Flo Program is here!!  I am so excited to announce and bring you this amazing opportunity to deepen your connection with yourself and enhance your ability to connect authentically with others - Body, Mind, Heart, Soul, and Spirit.  It incorporates the intention to Know Yourself.  Be Yourself.  Love Yourself.

Hello? Hello. I'm your host, Caroline Schafer, please help me welcome Karen Sammer. Karen is the owner of Your Power, Your Health, Nutrition and Health Coaching and she works as a nutritional consultant and health coach. She also volunteers as a Womenheart Champion Community Educator at Womenheart, the national coalition for women with heart disease. Welcome to The Vitality Feed. Karen, it is such a pleasure to have you here. I know your story. It is a crazy, amazing story and it is really an honor to have you. Thank you, Caroline. It's an honor to be here. I really appreciate your inviting me to talk to you today. Tell us a little bit about, about your story and, some background and your amazing triumphs. In 2009, I was going about my marriage. But I was not living it wasn't a healthy life. I was under a lot of stress. I was working at a corporate job. I was raising some kids, two kids, and I was very overweight, drank too much, ate too much work, too much, all that type of stuff. And I went from my annual mammogram and you can probably guess how that story goes. I ended up finding out that I had an invasive ductal carcinoma, which is breast cancer, but it was a very aggressive form of breast cancer. So that meant that had there not been a particular medicine that I was able to take, I would have had an 85% chance of recurrence. So fortunately there isn't a drug that was part of my chemo protocol. And so for a year I was on it, a treatment plan, I was doing chemo. I did radiation and I had to have surgery. I had to have a lumpectomy. So in that time it was a, it was kind of a challenging period of time because I felt lousy the whole time.  I decided I didn't want that to happen again. So I decided to take some steps to take control of my own health. And when I did that, I determined that processed sugar is a huge contributor to the development of certain types of cancer. One of them being breast cancer and cancer cells love sugar. So the first thing I did was I eliminated processed sugar from my diet, and that was a complete game changer. So what that did is it took away my cravings. It took away my aches and pains, and it really put me on the right path to taking back control of my health. And I lost 135 pounds. Woohoo and I changed my lifestyle completely. So I started exercising and I was fortunate enough that my employer put me in a less stressful job than when I was in prior I, prior to having developed the cancer, I was director uh, federal and state compliance and a tax department in a big pharmaceutical company. And so when I came back from having been sick, they made me director of federal audits, which was a much more manageable position. It was less deadline sensitive, and it was much easier for me to deal, which was, you know, to their credit. It was a great thing to do. So I, uh, developed this, you know, this, this healthy lifestyle, right. I was exercising. I was eating well. I was, I had eliminated initially I eliminated processed sugar from my diet, and then I incrementally took other things from my out of my eating protocol, like meat.  I don't eat meat anymore. I'm not a vegan, I'm a pescatarian. So I do eat fish. Occasionally I'll eat eggs. I don't eat any dairy. And I, uh, I also eliminated gluten from my diet because I feel better not eating gluten and there are never reasons why most of us should consider that, but we can talk about that later. So I'm going about my life and then in 2017, I was sitting in a meeting and I started to feel a sensation in the middle of my chest. That was like a burning sensation. And so, I wasn't quite sure what it was, cause it wasn't really painful. It was just kind of. And then it started to radiate out to the tops of my arms. So I happened to be in the meeting. I was in, was Toastmasters that was meeting in my local hospital. The luck of God right there for you. Right? Well, he wasn't done with me yet, apparently. So, I asked somebody to walk out with me to find some help because I figured there was something a little bit sinister going on there. So he walked out with me, found somebody that worked at the hospital. They took me over to the ER and I was having a hard time. And when they took me to the, the cath lab, they were going to, they thought they were going to have to place a stent. But what they found was my arteries are clear, but I had this weird thing happened. It's called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, that almost always happens to women. There are some men that it happens to, but mostly happens to women. They don't really know what causes it because there was no, I had no prior symptoms, you know? So oftentimes when you have a cardiac event, you have prior symptoms, you have some pain or you have some shortness of breath or whatever. So other stuff I not a bad. It just happened and, you know, spontaneously, which is why it's called that. Right. So I went and I was in the hospital for a few days. I was, apparently they had a hard time stabilizing me and then when I was released from the hospital, I found a cardiologist who I absolutely love. And she and I have, become friends. We became friendly and we were chatting a lot. So she decided that I would be a good candidate to be a WomenHeart champion. And so she sent me to the Mayo clinic to be trained, which is the mothership of, of women's heart health. And, um, they trained me to be a WomenHeart champion and community educator. So now I get to go into the community and I talk about these issues, women in specific, you know, women in heart health and what to do to prevent cardiac events because 80% of heart disease is actually preventable through lifestyle and nutrition, but also to recognize it when it's in your body, when something's happening, because we don't necessarily know what's going on ourselves because our symptoms aren't necessarily the same as men's are symptoms may not be as severe, or we just kind of power through and get through life and ignore what's going on and much to our detriment sometimes. Seems scary. It really is. Yeah. But, but I, you know, I became a health coach after my cancer diagnosis because I wanted to help other people get healthy as well, because I felt so incredibly good. I felt so I was 52 when I was diagnosed with cancer. And after I had lost all the weight and taken all those things out of my, out of my eating. I felt better than I had in probably 25 years. So yeah, it was, yeah, it was amazing how much better I felt and how, how vibrant, energetic, and just, you could bottle that and let people have like, just a spoonful of it. So that it would give him the motivation to do the work. You know, that's the ticket. That is the ticket. It's that feeling that, that, that vitality, that good energy that you've had forgotten about because you're so used to how you feel you've kind of become numb, but go ahead. I'm sorry. I just love that. Oh, that's fine. But it, but you're absolutely right, because you know, it becomes your way of life and you're just trying to get through one day at a time. And so you don't even really realize how lousy you're feeling until you don't feel that way anymore. And it's incredible the difference. Oh my gosh. I just can't even describe how, how different it is. So, I became a health coach after having the cancer and I was really working through working with people, but I had not really narrowed down who I wanted to work with, but once I had the heart attack and I found out all this stuff about women and heart, I really wanted to make that my people, you know, those are my people that I want to help, because if you are on the path of developing chronic illness, like heart disease or diabetes or any even cancer, you know, if you're on that path, you can, you can reverse course and possibly prevent, you know, if you haven't gotten too far down the path, you could prevent developing those illnesses and those chronic conditions. And so that's what I really want to do is I want to help people to not have to worry about having to take cholesterol medication or blood pressure meds, because if you can avoid going on them, it's a lot easier to avoid it than it is to convince your doctor that, to take you off of it. That's like sounds like music to my ears. My goal is to help people avoid taking medication I've had, I've had clients who have been able to do that, have brought cholesterol down by double digits by working with me. Wow. Yeah. I had one client who got her cholesterol down 70 points working. I mean, there's double digits  at 10 and there's double digits at 70. That's a huge amount of difference. Yeah. I mean, she was, it was so good. She was really good to keep it a great job. Kudos to you too, because she obviously had damn good health coaches there. That's a lot of points that really is, that's like more than make or break things, you know? Oh, absolutely significant fender off the medicine, you know, it helped her to stay off of the medication.   I know you're big into mindset and so am I, how do you keep yourself grounded and on the right path? One of the things that is so important to me is that I don't want to go back to the way it was and it, and that is still, I mean, here we are 11 years out and it's still very clear in my head how that felt when I was, well, first when I was diagnosed because the earth stood still when I was diagnosed. I got the goosebumps. When you said the world  stopped.Because I hate that people wait to that point of getting to the diagnosis cliff, don't wait to that point. Your taste buds do change and it drives me crazy when people say, oh, you deserve the piece of cake. No, you deserve not to have the piece of cake because that's worthy of you. You need to do better things for yourself, for your health, for your future, for your family and just the everyday of feeling good. Right. And the envy, just the unreal feeling of it, but also having to go through the treatment. But then even before that, like the way my body felt and not being able to get out of my own way and not just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. And now I don't feel that way. I mean, you would never, in a million years been able to get me in front of a group of people to talk, 10 years ago. Now you can't shut me up now, you know, I'll go and I'll stand in front of anybody and talk about this stuff because I'm so passionate about it. And, you have such a great story, it's so worthy to listen to. Gosh, it's so inspiring and I'm  hoping to inspire people to make the changes that you've made. But you know, so the way I stay grounded is by remembering how good it feels to be where I am right now. It's been such a long time since I've eaten this stuff that I stopped eating, that it doesn't bother me anymore. You can put it on, you can lay out a whole table full of junk food or fast food or sweet whatever. And it really does not impress me.  I don't want to go there. I don't want to feel that feeling in my body. Like you say, that's truly what drives is that that feeling of you can get up and go because yeah. I can, I can get out of bed in the morning and my body doesn't hurt. I'm not stiff.  I got up this morning at five o'clock and took a walk for, I don't know, two and a half miles or something like that, but I've been trying to do that now. I want to get my walk in before it gets too hot, but like, it's not negotiable for me. This is not. And taking care of myself is non-negotiable because that, and that's another thing, like, you know, I have a program that I use with people and one of the things that I tell them, You need to do to take care of you before you take care of anybody else, because you can't pour from an empty cup. I mean, I know that's a tired adage, but it's, it's so true. If you've got no reserves, you have nothing to give to someone else. So you are completely depleted. And you just don't, you won't have it for them. And then, and then something like what happened to me 11 years ago can happen to you or even what happened to me in 2017. I mean, you could have a heart attack due to the heart disease. Mine was different, but, but you could have, from neglect and lack of care and overstress being over stressed, because stress is a huge contributor to all of this. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, it's just important to, to make sure that you put yourself at the top of your priority list and as women, I think we're really not very, we're not very good at. No, we are not we're pretty bad at. I'll go there and say what a pretty bad at it.  I definitely am guilty of that only up until two years ago at UPW, did I start prioritizing me! So I understand completely, I know we both have done that. With a new lifestyle, I know you've made a lot of eliminations with your food: dairy, gluten, sugar, you sometimes do eggs and whatnot. I'm pretty much on that same page as I just think plants is where it's at.  How can you explain the difference in the feeling like you said with the gluten? I also do not do gluten. How, how can you explain to people the difference before and after? So gluten, it does a number of different things to your body that may not be testable and the way you find out that it's doing these things is by taking it out of your diet and once you've taken it out and you start to feel like your digestion is a little better, your head's a little clearer, you sleep a little better. Maybe your joints don't hurt as much. There are a number of things that gluten does to our body that you don't necessarily have to have celiacs disease. Correct, uh, to be sensitive to gluten, it could just be, it's a, it's a continuum for me. It's like, it goes from sensitive to intolerant, to you're going to die there, and many levels in between, but, but we don't need it. We don't need wheat gluten.  And, and the way the food is manufactured these days, if you're eating manufactured food, which to me is like an oxymoron manufactured in food should not be in the same sentence, if you're eating stuff out of a box, chances are pretty good it's got gluten in it just because it's in the preservatives, it's in the coloring, it's in the flavoring and if it has wheat in it on top of that, it's got even more gluten. So gluten is so prevalent in everything that you eat. If you're eating from a shelf, that you were probably getting way more than you. And, and it could be having an impact on your body could be causing leaky gut, where your is leaking out through perforations in your intestines. So you're not getting nutrients, they're not being properly processed to get the nutrients. And I don't think people realize it's in makeup, it's in toothpaste, it's in a lot of condiments.  And I always say  food is like a soldier. You put it in and it's either going to fight for you or against you. So it's up to you, but gluten is definitely fighting against you. It's hard , I'm Italian, from New York, you're from Jersey and I'm a professional baker. And if I can give up gluten and be Italian and from New York and a professional baker, like anybody can do it, but you're right. Your taste buds do change. People don't realize that when they start. It has such, a strong hold over you. Uh, and, and talk to me a little about the sugar. Cause that's, that's the thing that has the biggest stronghold over you is the sugar. Yeah, for sure. So the sugar is a drug. It really should be regulated. I think because there have been studies done that when they addict lab rats to sugar and cocaine, and then those rats have the choice between the sugar or the cocaine . They will always go to the sugar. What does that say? Is even more addictive than cocaine is? Although it does light up, the same part of their brain is cocaine. So it's not, you know, it has that same impact, but it has such, it has such a, an addictive quality to it. That, and it, and the food, the food that's manufactured. That'd be, they, they hire scientists. To, to hit that spot. That's going to make you come back for more . Cause if you're not coming back from where those food companies aren't gonna stay in business. So their, their goal is you'd make you come back for more and want to eat as much of their stuff as they can possibly sell you. Everything that you buy on the shelf, not almost everything I sugar in it in some way. Spaghetti sauce, uh, salad dressing. soups, Ketchup and then of course the sweet stuff, you know, a lot of it has high high-fructose corn syrup, which by the way, they have changed the name of so that you don't see high fructose corn syrup, one labeling, One of the things I give to my clients is a list of, 257 different ways that sugar is re represented on a label.. So you look at yes. Oh, holy cow. Over two in 257. So you look on a label and if you recognize these names, you will see the sugar is probably represented seven to 10 times on, on a label of something that doesn't necessarily even taste sweet to you, but because you've gotten so used to that, that tastes that refined taste. But, but also, uh, not only. Sugar as it's added, but things that are refined carbohydrates that convert to sugar in your bloodstream, very quickly things that where, where you have the flour that has had all of the nutrients taken out of it too. Cute. Yes. Bleached flour, enriched bleached flour, I know about my flour because was the baker, but yeah, all that stuff. That's, it's, it's, it's equally as bad as just having the cake. It really is. Um, people don't realize that. Bread is also your number one source for sodium, people don't realize that as well.   Your program, I know has five pillars in it. Can you explain what those are? And a little bit about that? Sure. So I have my program is, is the Five Pillars For Sustainable Weight Loss And Taking Back Control Of Your Health. And so they consist of mindset. We start with mindset because if you don't get your head in the right place, You're going to rollercoaster and yo-yo diet all over the place, you know, like everybody's just, just like we've done, many of us have done all of our adult lives is, is just going up and down the scale and great numbers. So if you don't get your head right then it's, you're probably just gonna stay on that same path. So mindset is number one. And then we do, we do talk about nutrition. So when I was in health coaching school, they gave us the concept of primary food and secondary. Secondary food is the food that you put in your mouth. The actual stuff that you put in your mouth, primary food is the other stuff in your life. It is your relationships.  It's your lifestyle. It's your exercise. It's the stress. It's the, it's all of it. It's your, it's your career, it's everything else is your primary food. Oh, that's so powerful. I love that. Yeah, that was, that was very impactful for me when I learned that it's really true. I mean, all of this nutrition, when I, when I work with people, nutrition is a small part of it. It is a very part because a lot of people don't understand how to eat well or eat the right things to, to support their body. But it's all the other stuff in your life that causes people to choose, the wrong things, you know, whatever. So nutrition, well it's. It's an important part. It's not the main part. So I have mindset. I have nutrition, lifestyle, you know, stress management, exercise, getting enough sleep, all of these things, these all play into support of your body and making the good food decisions and correct drinking enough water, that type of thing. And these are all, these are all components of, of making sure that you're nourishing yourself. And then their emotional health taking care of your emotional health. And one of the things that I realized when I lost the weight, because I was, you know, I lost the equivalent of another human. Yeah, exactly. It was like, I was carrying you around all, literally. So once I lost that weight, it was like, I took the suit of armor off and I was not wearing anything. I felt weird. It just felt so it's really important. To understand that you don't need that armor any longer, but, but to take care of your emotional health, your emotional health in a different way, not stuffing your feelings. So, we do work on that as well. And then self care, as I said before, you know, self-care is, should be primary in your life. I don't care. I don't care if you work with me or not. Self-care should be number one on your list of things that has to happen, because if you're not taking care of you, you're not taking care of other people that. Everybody's going to burn out. So it's really important to, um, to make sure that you are putting yourself at the top of your priority too. That's why, that's why they tell you when in the plane, when the oxygen masks comes out to do you first, but somehow as moms, we were really negligent in that area. Another question here into the self care.  I know we can neglect ourselves, what's a simple strategy that you use with your clients to, to help with self care. So for self care, I think one of the things you need is some me time, just time by yourself, or just time to do stuff with your girlfriends or date nights or whatever it is that that just kind of fills your cup. Okay. Take a hot bath with candles and soft music, or meditate. Uh, take a walk by yourself. It's really, you know, spend some time with yourself. Especially if you're a mom, a mom of a busy, active family, or even just a wife or a spouse, or a partner. Uh, it is important still to kind of nurture yourself without the influence of someone else. I really think that that's important. I couldn't agree more with that. And I was not very good at that at one point. And it does build up and then wreak havoc one day. Where can our listeners find out more about you? They can go to my website,  www.Yourpoweryourhealth.com and they can find me on social. I'm not really active there. I occasionally will post on Facebook, on Instagram, on LinkedIn. I'm trying to get better. I'm working with a coach trying to get consistent with that. last question here. All my foodie people, I'm making them do two questions, but if you could eliminate one process food in this world, what would it be and why? I think it would probably be almost anything in the interior of the grocery store, anything from a box or a cake. Wow. That's a lot of it. Is there one specific thing that you find is more of a culprit for people or hang up for people? I think sweet stuff, there's some people that are more salty, some are more sweet, but it's, it's the, it's the stuff that is manufactured with the express goal to get you addicted to it. So that's going to be that and the crackers and the cookies and the bags of stuff. You know, the stuff that you can stick your hand in and just keep going. Then my normal question is if there was one thing in this world that you can eliminate, what would it be and why? And it doesn't have to relate to food or anything. Tangible and intangible to heavy. There's so much hatred in this world. So much divisiveness and hatred. Yeah, that's a good one. So why would you pick that? One of the reasons I don't spend much time on social media is because of all of the nastiness and divisiveness and hatred and, and, you know, and especially in our country, even, but even across the world, I mean, this is not, it's not unique to our country. But we can eliminate hatred if we wouldn't have a lot of the problems that we have. And, you know, hatred leads to that scarcity mindset, there's enough for everybody. We just need to learn to share it better. And so I think if we didn't hate each other, if we didn't have the hatred in the in the world, I think we would be much more supportive of each other and it would be a much nicer place. After the show, I'll hook you up with some great places on social media. Cause I love my social media. I'm not very good at it, but I love it. Cause I think I'm in so many positive groups, very affirming groups that, I literally I have people asking me about my family's health and I'm going through some things right now, but it's such a nice feeling to have almost complete strangers really be so empathetic. It's it's a beautiful thing. So I'll hook you up. No problem. And thank you. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey. Gosh, I hope this really inspires some people. I mean, if you can lose 135 pounds, that is literally more than what I weigh. That is an incredible amount of weight and to keep it off, which is another whole achievement, because lots of people lose it, but they gain it back. But you are on a mission, like you said, you never want to get back there. That's extraordinary and so powerful. I absolutely love that.  That in itself is monumental, but then you overcame a heart attack and cancer!  It's mind blowing what you have overcome and you sit, sit there with a smile on your face, helping other people to inspire them to do the same. Uh, it is such a pleasure to know you and to befriend you and I am grateful. I thank you for sharing and your story. Thank you. Can I just, can I make an offer to your absolutely absolutely like to offer a free consultation to anybody who's interested. They go, if they go to my website, there is a BOOK NOW or something button on there, they can click on that and they can schedule a consultation with your website is again, www.yourpoweryourhealth.com. And I will put that in the show notes, my dear. That was lovely. Thank you again for sharing your personal journey. This has been impressive, not many people can make that many triumphs in one life. It really is crazy. And I just want to remind all our listeners out there  "Life has no remote, so get up and change it yourself!"

When we nurture others, we allow our own growth mindset to flourish. In this episode of my February Focus, I look at how when we provide nurture for others, we also allow our own mindset to grow.

Today is a day of listening, of RECEPTION. Of nurture, of PROTECTION. Hold space for others, and ALLOW YOURSELF TO RECEIVE. Trust that others will hold space for YOU in return, if and when you need it, because you choose to hold space for them, today. Today, the Queen of Clubs, ruler of knowledge and communication, ruler of September 12, implores you to also hold space for YOURSELF. Nurture YOURSELF. Listen to YOURSELF. Journal. Meditate. Spend time trying to understand your own inner workings -- who you are in the stillness. What you want most in this life. What you yearn for most deeply when you allow yourself to float away in the abyss that is our existence. This Queen of the Mind - it is said that would be our one true ruler in a perfect world, because protecting intuition and imagination and ideas -- our own and others' -- aids us in successfully elevating the consciousness of humanity. And all whom we are lucky enough to come into contact with! Serving through making space AND holding space so that TRUE expansion of the mind can take place. This is her one true message, our divine sacred nurturer, the Queen of Clubs. And when we allow that aspect of ourselves to be nurtured by our unwavering certainty that we are doing the very best we can on our spiritual journey (which is the concept represented by the 10 of Spades, the supporting card of today), we mathemagickally manifest the potent glory of the 9 of clubs, whose power allows us to TRANSFORM our ways of thinking, and thus REVOLUTIONIZE our patterns of communication, EXPANDING the ways that we are able to express ourself into more fruitful and meaningful ways, that are more in alignment with our truths and our highest selves.

We can be focusing on all other areas of our health, but if we neglect our own self-nurturing, our hormone health can take a quick nose dive. On today's episode Cody shares her personal experience of how her efforts to be "perfectly healthy" actually sabotaged her in the long run. After years of intense exercise, strict nutrition, and all "the things" we think we need to do to achieve a perfect body, her body completely broke down. She was given a strict prescription by her doctor to slow down and to nurture herself more each day. This was the first and most important pillar of health that led her through her healing journey.

Our lovely friend Keri Glassman is a fabulous celebrity nutritionist and the Founder of Nutritious Life, and today, she’s going to teach us what is up with OILS! Keri is an OG in the holistic wellness industry with over 15 years of educating both consumers and experts under her belt. As an expert on all things nutrition AND a badass lady founder, we were thrilled to sit down with her and hear what she’s done with her Nutritious Life Studio classes and then dive into some burning questions.     Discussed over Black Sesame Pie from @rawsometreats…. We’re always working on ourselves, always growing to become better, more comfortable, and more confident people... and that’s why we’re happy to trade a few wrinkles for a happier, wiser, and more confident life! How we met Keri over a decade ago, pioneers together on the front lines of wellness before juicing, yoga, and self-care became trendy. The 8 pillars of a Nutritious Life: Eat Empowered, Sweat Often, Stress Less, Sleep Deep, Live Consciously, Drink Up, Nurture Yourself, Love More. Everything you need to know about cooking and eating oils: how much fat should we be having, why is (some) fat good for us, why are some oils better than others, and why does the smoke point matter for cooking? What’s up with the controversy around coconut oil and is the widely reported on study about coconut oil credible? What the hell is canola oil, exactly, and why is it in pretty much every single packaged food? The different extraction methods used to get oils and which ones creates the healthiest, safest oils for eating. How you can use oils outside of cooking: moisturizer, lube, & oil pulling.  Chew on that!   Resources: Learn more at https://nutritiouslife.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nutritiouslifeofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KeriGlassmanNutritiousLife/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KeriGlassman   We’re having way more messages than we used to – and you can too!

Summary of Brenda’s November 9, 2018, channeled Creation Energies show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  You’ve completed the final test for the most difficult class you’ve ever experienced – clearing your 3D being – and you’re waiting for your grade. Even though everyone received an A, you’re worried your grade might be a B or C. You’re also concerned about your recently acquired free time. This free time is for you to discover your joy. Happy New Year! is the title of last week’s Brenda’s Blog – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com. The overview of Brenda's November 16, 2018, Creation Energies channel: As you transition, you'll have less interest in shoulds. If you have to make a decision, such as attending a family gathering, select the most self-nurturing action. In the future, those decisions that seem so important now will disappear as was true for the test you didn't study for in grade school. Brenda’s Creation Energies show and Brenda’s Blog contain different channeled information.
