With the Thanksgiving holiday right on the horizon, it’s a good time to take a moment to really reflect on everything that’s been happening in our lives.  Ultimately, we all wish to be better people, and we each have our own interpretation of what that looks like and our own journey in how to get there.  In this episode, I share how community and meditation have profoundly shaped what that path has looked like for me this year, particularly in the exploration of how to practice non-judgment (spoiler alert: it’s super hard), finding courage in forgiveness, and acceptance, and healing through vulnerability. You’ll hear me discuss: Using meditation for self-healing Exploring non-judgment, forgiveness, and acceptance (especially towards ourselves) How self-gratitude is a form of self-care READ THE SHOW NOTES: http://www.livefablife.com/151 ASK A QUESTION: http://www.livefablife.com/podcast  LEARN MORE ABOUT WORKING WITH ME: http://www.livefablife.com/services CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/livefablifewithnaomi

After I first started on my journey to better health, I hit a plateau when I felt I wasn’t progressing as timely as expected. When I consulted my doctor about it, I learned that sometimes the devil is in the details-- and I might not have been making the best decisions in the products I was using daily.  My doctor asked me, “What about toxins in your home? What’s in your tap water? Your everyday things?” and that’s what got me on this journey to discover the better, safer alternatives to my everyday products.  From makeup and personal care products to the Teflon pans and cookware we use. Though we may not be exposed to large quantities at a time, using these things daily exposes us to harmful chemicals that add to our toxic load, so much so that we can eventually feel its effects on our health. In this episode you’ll hear me discuss: My journey and struggles to better health and how environmental toxins landed on my radar Everyday products that you’re using that can affect your health Reducing our toxic load Shifting to clean beauty and the unexpected but welcomed improvements it had on my skin and my confidence READ THE SHOW NOTES: http://www.livefablife.com/150 ASK A QUESTION: http://www.livefablife.com/podcast  LEARN MORE ABOUT WORKING WITH ME: http://www.livefablife.com/services CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/livefablifewithnaomi

As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.  Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calorie that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.  Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good. In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life. You’ll hear me discuss: My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health The aha moment when my weight plateaued How I’ve come full circle with macros READ THE SHOW NOTES: http://www.livefablife.com/148 ASK A QUESTION: http://www.livefablife.com/podcast  WORK WITH ME: http://www.livefablife.com/services CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/livefablifewithnaomi

This pandemic has had me asking myself many times over, ”How can I look at this situation differently?” What is normal now is uncertainty. This is one of the big battles that we’re facing at this time. We’re uncertain of what will happen to our jobs, our businesses, our families, and basically our entire lives. And all this uncertainty is causing us stress.  But what if we "think differently?" What could happen if we let go of all the mental, emotional and physical burdens that stress brings? Easier said than done, I know, but how about, instead of accepting stress as a part of the new normal, let’s take a different approach and learn ways to reframe it in a positive way.  In this episode, I share my personal experiences with stress in the first few months of the quarantine and how I’ve dealt with it. You’ll hear me discuss: Work stress Facing the possibility of being laid off Dealing with uncertainties My personal experiences in feeling unbalanced, out of control, and defeated  How I took a different approach  READ THE SHOW NOTES: http://www.livefablife.com/147 ASK A QUESTION: http://www.livefablife.com/podcast  LEARN MORE ABOUT WORKING WITH ME: http://www.livefablife.com/services CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/livefablifewithnaomi

It’s easy to think that we’re pretty healthy when we take supplements. This is true to some extent, but taking supplements is only one part of living a healthy life, and at times, can be overprescribed. In this episode, I highlight supplementation and share my journey of how I started taking them back in 2013 when I began my self-healing journey to improve my overall health. I share how supplements helped me achieve optimal health over the years together, along with eating a well-nourished diet, practicing healthy lifestyle habits, and taking an integrative approach with prescriptions from medical and wellness experts.

In this episode, I share how to get your internal self into a good place through self-awareness and mindset shifts. Oftentimes, we focus on different factors that hinder us from being successful in whatever it is we want to do when all along we’re standing in our own way.  There is no greater way of taking care of your health and your well-being than by shifting your mindset through self-awareness so you’re able to release the stress that’s been burdening you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  This is what allows ourselves to truly feel and thrive as happy healthy people.

Since learning about Human Design, I’ve been curious about the systems it’s based upon, astrology is one of them.

Anxiety can be paralyzing and if not managed well, becomes uncontrollable. It induces nervous energy that drains us mentally, physically, and emotionally.

What do you do when you’ve tried all of the conventional and holistic strategies but yet your health issues haven’t completely been resolved? Sometimes it deep inner work is required, especially if you’re struggling with Adrenal Fatigue and burnout. But if you’re someone who just can’t slow down, what’s the likelihood of you taking the time to explore this inner work? One positive thing that quarantine life has given me is the gift of time to do this inner work that I may have never done otherwise.

A native Californian, growing up in St. Helena, Natalie came back to the Napa Valley after graduating college and fell back in love with the beauty of the Napa Valley. Growing up with a Master Sommelier father, she knew if she wanted to change career paths to the wine industry she would need to do something different. Natalie did a harvest at Etude in 2010, embracing the long hours, manual labor, and comradery that comes with cleaning. She was hooked! Natalie spent the first part of the 2011 vintage in the Southern Hemisphere at Villa Maria in New Zealand and the second part of 2011 at Littorai in Sebastopol, getting her first experience with biodynamics working under Ted Lemon. Not knowing where to go next, a conversation with her longtime friend, Samantha Rudd, turned into an opportunity to work harvest at Rudd Oakville Estate in 2012. “It was like finally coming home”, Natalie says. “I grew up playing in the vineyards and running around the property as a kid. Something just felt right.” When harvest finished, Natalie began hosting guests who were visiting the Estate, hoping to continue working at Rudd in any area she could. In 2014, Natalie joined the Winemaking team fulltime as a cellar hand and became the oenologist in 2016. An opportunity of a lifetime presented itself, allowing Natalie to travel overseas to work harvest at Château Pétrus in 2016. Coming back from her travels refreshed and rejuvenated, Natalie became the Assistant Winemaker in 2017 at Rudd Estate, and the following year the lead Winemaker for Crossroads.

If today was your last day on earth, are you happy? Whether you go into an office or work from home, you likely spend the majority of your time “at work” with colleagues. So if you’re not happy at your work, chances are, you’re not happy in life, which is not a healthy way to live. And when you peel back the layers, many times it can be attributed to a misalignment between your priorities and your work, a lack of boundaries, and/or poor communication. The good news is, these things are all fixable! Joining me in this episode is my colleague and former manager, Terri Quinn. Terri started her career in the tech industry 25 years ago and was one of the early pioneers of the TME (Technical Marketing Engineer) role. You’ll hear Terri share what it was like starting her career as a young wife and mother in a male-dominated, fast-paced, highly-demanding industry. She discusses how it taught her the importance of knowing what your priorities are (because not everyone does) and owning them without guilt. You’ll also hear us discuss how to establish boundaries in the workplace by: Understanding your priorities and using them as a guide in setting boundaries Recognizing your power within and asking for what you want Self-marketing yourself with effective communication This episode is a mirror of the daily discussions that Terri and I had every day for the three years that she was my manager. While always supportive, she constantly challenged my way of thinking. Her influence had a profound impact on how I approach my work and my attitude towards it, which has changed my outlook and how I communicate with others beyond the job.

In this episode, I’m continuing the solo series of walking you through my own personal health journey, and my aim for doing this is to illustrate the things that seemed so common, but yet weren’t normal. Today, we’re talking about a condition that approximately half of all digestive and intestinal complaints are attributed to - Irritable Bowel Syndrome aka “IBS.” It’s the most common of digestive complaints. But IBS is an “umbrella” term meaning that it can be applied to a number of different things. So if you have IBS, there’s a likelihood that there’s an underlying issue going on.
