Happy Love Day, Relatives! While Valentine's Day may be wrapped in candy hearts and Hallmark sentiments, its origins are far from sweet. As NPR's Arnie Seipel reminds us, its history is "dark, bloody, and a bit muddled." In ancient Rome, Lupercalia—a violent fertility festival—was held from February 13th to 15th, perhaps explaining why red became the color of love.But today, we shift the focus away from romantic love and toward something deeper: self-love, communal love, and intergenerational healing.In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Vina Brown, the creative force behind Copper Canoe Woman. Vina, from the Heiltsuk and Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, is not only an acclaimed jewelry artist but also a scholar, currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where she studies Indigenous food sovereignty and wellness. She is also the co-founder of Rooted Resiliency, a nonprofit dedicated to reclaiming Indigenous wellness practices.Together, we dive into the messy, powerful, and transformative aspects of love. "Real love is messy," Vina reminds us. "It's not pretty, it's not perfect, but that's what makes it so beautiful." We explore self-care beyond consumerism, moving away from the capitalist version of “self-care”—think retail therapy and spa days—toward a decolonized perspective. Audre Lorde's words guide us: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."Vina shares the story of her grandmother Elsie, a residential school survivor who embarked on her healing journey later in life, breaking generational cycles by learning to love openly. We discuss the power of community healing, the necessity of platonic love, and the strength in vulnerability. "We don't heal in silos," Vina says. "We heal in community."As part of this journey, we're also hosting Reclaiming Wellness, a community event featuring Indigenous women leaders focusing on movement, meditation, and reconnecting with ancestral knowledge.Join us as we recommit to self-love, embrace relationality over individualism, and recognize that healing is a lifelong journey. As Vina reminds us, "Our ancestors knew we were interconnected. The land, the wind, the water—they all hold us."Let's reclaim love—love for ourselves, our communities, and our lands.

Most Executives clearly advocate for “work/life balance”, however what does that balance actually require; and is it a shoe size that fits all?   In 2023 how do women who have questions about balancing their desires for financial stability, luxury, family responsibilities, health, joy, and fulfilment, achieve this while pushing back against burnout and self-sacrifice? How do our diets play a role in our ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and what are the signs to be aware of that hint to onset mental, emotional and physical decline in our wellbeing?  These and other fascinating ideas will be examined by our Conductor and guest conversationalists.  

Today, it's common for people to live in a low vibrational state of stress, worry, anxiety and fear and this is where illness manifests. Once you learn how to shift your state into high vibrational states of feeling happiness, peace and joy, you can not only shift your biology, you can completely change the trajectory of your life. My guest in this episode, Mona Sharma, is the queen of helping others shift their vibration into a state that will allow their mind/body to heal.   Mona is a dynamic leader and entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry who works with high-profile clients worldwide.

Ep #202 -  Reclaiming Your Health - An Interview with Author and Wellness Coach, Jovanka Ciares. Jovanka Ciares' latest book, “Reclaiming Wellness,” is not just about reclaiming wellness but it's also about claiming yourself and becoming an empowered individual. One who owns their body and understands how their body functions. Jovanka's personal journey began in Puerto Rico, where she was raised. She and her family lived alongside the land, the rainforest, and her family's food did not travel far from its origin to reach their table. Eating the foods from the land and having them home cooked was common for Jovanka in her early years. Then she moved to New York City to pursue her education. And that's when her body gave her what she calls “a smack down.” Chronic sickness soon became part of her daily life. By her mid-twenties she was told by Western medicine that they could do nothing for her. And that she would have to learn to live in pain and discomfort for the rest of her life. Can you imagine being told that by your trusted doctor(s)? Well, that was not acceptable to Jovanka so she began to explore other options. She began by reclaiming her heritage and the foods she grew up with. She also incorporated other healing practices such as, traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbalism. Jovanka's journey involved doing a deep dive both for her personal wellness and her spiritual growth. In her book, “Reclaiming Wellness,” she gives her readers many tools for how to heal your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Some of the tools Jovanka touches on in her book include, meditation, hypnosis, journaling, acupuncture and so much more. And as we have both learned through life experience, not everything works for everybody. The important lesson here is to be open to the possibilities and be willing to try different modalities until you find what works for you. We also talked about the importance of seeing your doctor(s) as partners in your journey to heal. You are the authority of your body and the doctor may be the expert in a specific field of medicine but that does not make the doctor an expert on your body. It's all about working together so you can reach understanding and become knowledgeable in the quest to heal your body.

Wellness Expert Jovanka Ciares shows us how to reclaim wellness to live our best life. Her new book is Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom For Your Healthy, Happy and Beautiful life. Many of the most popular approaches to mind, body, and spirit wellness are rooted in age-old practices from around the world and come from communities of color. But more often than not, they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite. Certified wellness expert and author Jovanka Ciares reclaims these time- and science-proven modalities and makes them easy to implement for all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, income, or social status. "The lack of representation within the wellness industry is palpable, from practitioners and advocates to brands that seemingly cater to only one type of audience — wealthy, white Westerners," writes Ciares. "Wellness is not for the privileged few. Wellness is a state of living that applies to all living creatures — humans, animals, and plants. And the most popular wellness practices have been practiced for millennia by people worldwide." Reclaiming Wellness highlights the multicultural roots of various popular health trends and shares them to promote solidarity and inclusivity. The book includes fascinating historical context for wellness practices like herbalism, meditation, visualization, hypnosis, yoga, plant- based eating, sound healing, and more.

Because of unbalanced society standards, wellness has been dominated and almost became exclusive to white people. This must never be the case, and reclaiming wellness to become accessible to all has been the center of Jovanka Ciares' crusade. This integrative herbalist and executive health coach joins Whitney Lauritsen to share about her education initiative that gives the minority access to proper wellness knowledge. Jovanka explains the work needed in raising awareness on plant-based living in BIPOC communities and solving various issues caused by cultural appropriation in her line of work. She also discusses decolonizing the mind from the idea of achieving perfection and simply doing the best for your body.Love the show?

Wellness is a state of living that applies to all living creatures — humans, animals, and plants. And the most popular wellness practices have been practiced for millennia by people all over the world.” Ciares knows firsthand how it feels to bounce from doctor's office to doctor's office, drowning in theories, but getting no answers. After years of suffering from IBS, ulcers, and fibroids, she embraced alternative therapies like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and herbalism. Her personal fifteen-year healing journey became her motivation to inspire and support thousands of others to do the same, especially those like herself — educated women of color who are rarely represented in the billion-dollar industry of health and wellness. Reclaiming Wellness highlights the multicultural roots of a wide variety of popular health trends and shares them to promote solidarity and inclusivity. The book includes fascinating historical context for wellness practices like herbalism, meditation, visualization, hypnosis, yoga, plant-based eating, sound healing, and more. “I have written this book to help address the diversity and inclusion problem in modern wellness,” writes Ciares. “As I highlight throughout, all modern practices have roots in ancient cultures from around the world, and I hope that all people of color will feel empowered to explore, embrace, and reclaim them.” Reclaiming Wellness speaks to everyone, with an emphasis on the people of color who struggle disproportionately with preventable diseases, to offer: ? practical, affordable, and even fun ways to incorporate plant-based whole foods into even the most time-crunched routine ? lazy-proof means of movement that feel more like self-love than the dreaded “exercise” ? techniques of mindfulness, meditation, and visualization that make them meaningful everyday tools ? ways to experience nature, music, and community to heal and connect “Whether you are new to wellness or various specific practices or not, I hope this book provides you with the knowledge to create your own wellness journey,” writes Ciares. “ I encourage you to explore and to question, to increase your knowledge and to trust yourself, as you evaluate what practices might be best for you. Be curious about what could lead to a healthier, stronger, happier version of you, and pursue that curiosity to create just that.” Jovanka Ciares is the author of Reclaiming Wellness and several other titles.

"We only have one home to live in: our body," says today's guest, Jovanka Ciares who carries over a decade of personal wisdom as an integrative herbalist and nutrition expert with the life mission of "helping people reclaim natural states of wellness through practices of our lineage, our ancestry, and our birthright." I instantly graviated to her work because it highlights how we can take our power back and heal ourselves.  She writes about this in her book, "Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life." And has so much wisdom to offer us today as the founder of Solana Wellness and creator of the #ReclaimingWellness, which carries the initiative of educating BIPOC communities about the power of herbal medicine and plant-based living. In this conversation, we go DEEP and get to hear her share powerful practices to build new habits, change our taste buds, and experience a new conversation between our mind and body. We explore how her upbringing in Puerto Rico and connection to African philosophies brought her to discover a level of true wellness & connectivity we all deeply crave and deserve access to.

Hey fam, welcome back for another episode of The Brave Table! Today's guest is Jovanka Ciares, a best-selling author, wellness expert, integrative herbalist, nutrition educator, and coach. Jovanka's here to talk about optimizing your health through your ancestry and Mother Nature, how you can be brave in making better choices for yourself or when speaking to loved ones about improving their health, and to give us the scoop on her latest book, Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life.    What you'll get out of this episode…    - What is herbalism and why it's the easiest thing you can do to reclaim your health - How to find balance in your health instead of taking an all or nothing approach - What herbs, fungi, and adaptogens you can take to have more energy  - What do when you feel defeated by your diagnosis and when Western medicine has failed you  - What it means to reclaim your ancestry and what your elders can teach you about your health and diet - How to have tough conversations with family members and loved ones when you're concerned about their health and what steps you can take to help them  - What is the “Reduce and Replace” method, and how to use it to foster better habits   I met Jovanka at Burning Man right after I sold my practice, and she was exiting a big-time career as an exec in the entertainment industry. We realized we had so much in common: we were both ending our first marriages, we were total type A queens learning how to loosen the reigns on our perfectionism, and we were both on the path of searching for something that felt more aligned with this next stage of our evolution.    For Jovanka, that journey started with completely burning out. Born in Puerto Rico, she moved to New York for work, where she quickly climbed the corporate ladder. However, the long days and fast pace had her body falling apart, and she experienced a host of unpleasant and “incurable” conditions like IBS, fibroids, and ulcers. Refusing to believe there was no way to feel better, she traveled around the world to learn about ancient medicines and healing practices—like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism—and used them to heal herself of all her disorders.    Jovanka realized the healing modalities she was discovering were nothing new; they were passed down from our ancestors and became lost in our hyper externalized, materialized, and medicalized society. As a woman of color, she felt she needed to be a voice for these medicines (many of which originated among communities of color) and encourage people to reclaim their ancestry and their birthright to good health.    Her latest book, Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life, explores today's most effective wellness practices—and their multicultural sources—in a way that makes health accessible to all. It includes practical ways to incorporate plant-based whole foods into even the most hectic routines, gentle movements you can make that are centered around self-love rather than exercise, mindfulness techniques, and more. Jovanka gives us a taste of some of the most successful tips from her book in this episode, so tune in!   While you listen, I'd love for you to contemplate how you can incorporate healthy changes into your own life to optimize your wellbeing.

Creating sustainable self-care practices involves The realization that slowing down is still moving forward Replacing the habits you remove with something positive and fulfilling Asking for and receiving what you want and need Using natural solutions from plants to support your wellness practices Spending quality time in nature   Do you find it hard to carve out time for yourself every single day? Like me, I bet there are days when you feel pulled in a million different directions, tending to everyone's needs but your own. It takes dedication to stick to self-care practices while living a full, and sometimes hectic life. I get how self-care doesn't always go according to plans. That's why I brought on today's guest to share her key wellness practices to embrace despite being overscheduled and busy.   About Jovanka Ciares Jovanka Ciares is the author of Reclaiming Wellness and several other titles. A certified wellness expert, integrative herbalist, nutrition educator, and coach, she offers lectures and workshops in Spanish and English.  Jovanka studied nutrition with bestselling author T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., at his Center for Nutrition Studies (in partnership with Cornell University) and herbalism/plant medicine with Tieraona Low Dog, MD. A native of Puerto Rico, she lives in Los Angeles.   Slowing Down and Getting Support So You Can Do More For Yourself Adapting wellness practices to your life, especially when you're overwhelmed, is no simple task. Yet, as Jovanka explains, transformational habits and rituals can be integrated with ease and grace.  This involves realizing that just because you might be slowing down, you are still moving forward. It also involves replacing the habits you remove with something more fulfilling. You'll likely need to ask others to support you with this. Don't be afraid to do so because receiving in itself is an act of generosity as Jovanka explains.   FInding Natural Support from Plants and Herbs An essential part of Jovanka's process involves the medicinal nature of plants. Whether you need focus, energy, or relaxation, tapping into the power of plants can go a long way in supporting your wellness practices.  Herbs and supplements can restore your endocrine system, support your body, and give your mind what it needs. Jovanka describes how a number of specific adaptogenic herbs can help support and sustain your self-care rituals. What can support you on your path to self-care and wellness? Share your thoughts with me in the comments section of the episode page.   Quotes: “People need to start understanding that they are the experts in their body. The person you look at in the mirror every morning is the expert of you.” [11:19] “A lot of us, especially women, are very generous with our time and energy, but we don't want to receive. Nothing could be more detrimental. We have to learn that the act of receiving is also an act of generosity.” [21:27] “So you find some alternative solutions and, in combination with what your doctor recommends, there is no need for us to struggle through a lot of these hormonal changes.” [29:30] “We are part of mother nature and we need to reconnect with it. It's critical to our health and wellbeing.” [33:50]   In This Episode Understanding that you are the expert of your own body and advocating for what you need for it  [6:30] Reclaiming what fulfills you after removing what doesn't [15:30] How adaptogenic plants can help us adapt and reclaim our wellness [22:30] Why a connection with nature is an integral part of wellness [31:15]   Resources Mentioned: Use Promo Code ‘podcast' for 10% off your order at the Essentially Whole Store Here Jovanka Ciares' Website Follow Jovanka on Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | Linkedin | Twitter The Reclaiming Wellness Book   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative

But more often than not, they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite.In Reclaiming Wellness, (New World Library, April 19, 2022) Jovanka highlights the multicultural roots of a wide variety of popular health trends and shares them to promote solidarity and inclusivity. The book includes fascinating historical context for wellness practices like herbalism, meditation, visualization, hypnosis, yoga, plant-based eating, sound healing, and more. “I have written this book to help address the diversity and inclusion problem in modern wellness,” writes Ciares. “As I highlight throughout, all modern practices have roots in ancient cultures from around the world, and I hope that all people of color will feel empowered to explore, embrace, and reclaim them.”

Listen to Jovanka Ciares, author of RECLAIMING WELLNESS: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life, explain to Heather the importance and benefits of reconnecting with indigenous roots in wellness. She noticed how so many of the wellness practices today come from multicultural backgrounds from around the world. She shares her experience of being a minority in the wellness industry, and developing the desire to teach someone other than privileged people.  In the episode, Heather and Jovanka discuss: Yoga, ayurveda and food as medicine  How the indigenous is the alternative now  The challenge of moving to the big city and eating the way people with money eat The wellness smackdown The diversity and inclusion problem in the modern wellness industry  Decolonizing wellness and how to decolonize our minds  Bringing wellness to communities who don't have access right now  The need for more support for black maternal health  Why preparation is the key to success in wellness  Ending fat shaming  How receiving is also an act of generosity from someone else Jovanka Ciares is the author of Reclaiming Wellness and several other titles.

Many of the most popular approaches to mind, body, and spirit wellness are rooted in age-old practices from around the world and come from communities of color. But more often than not, they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite. In Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life certified wellness expert and author Jovanka Ciares reclaims these time- and science-proven modalities and makes them easy to implement for all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, income, or social status. “The lack of representation within the wellness industry is palpable, from practitioners and advocates to brands that seemingly cater to only one type of audience — wealthy, white Westerners,” writes Ciares. “Wellness is not for the privileged few. Wellness is a state of living that applies to all living creatures — humans, animals, and plants. And the most popular wellness practices have been practiced for millennia by people all over the world.” Ciares knows firsthand how it feels to bounce from doctor's office to doctor's office, drowning in theories, but getting no answers. After years of suffering from IBS, ulcers, and fibroids, she embraced alternative therapies like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and herbalism. Her personal fifteen-year healing journey became her motivation to inspire and support thousands of others to do the same, especially those like herself — educated women of color who are rarely represented in the billion-dollar industry of health and wellness.

Be curious about what could lead to a healthier, stronger, happier version of you, and pursue that curiosity to create just that.” Jovanka Ciares is the author of Reclaiming Wellness and several other titles.

Once you learn to love it, it's easier to implement. So I decided to write this book as an homage to my own ancestry, but also to remind people that in your ancestry lineage, chances are you're going to have some of these practices and it's important that we reclaim them in order to reclaim our natural and our rightful state of wellness."15:32 Jovanka: "With the development of social media and the way that we can communicate now and spread the word far and wide, it became very obvious especially at the beginning of the pandemic that I was also not reaching the people that I believed need this information the most. So I created the Reclaiming Wellness initiative, it's an educational initiative that essentially teaches people how to use some of these practices so I do cooking classes, how to use herbal medicine, how to prepare your own medicine at home." 21:41 Jovanka: "Spirituality and religion don't have to be at odds with each other. We could have a religious practice that has its dogmas and follows a particular set of tenets and we can be very spiritual and also take from other religions or other spiritual practices  to make our lives better." 29:56 Jovanka: "Every time I get off a phone call with a client and they have clarity about what they're supposed to do, they have hope about the fact that they can heal, it just reminds me that I'm in the right place." Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

"Inclusion is not an opportunity, it's a necessity"-The Colour Factor Growing up watching Oprah on television, Priscilla Cherry, was inspired to see women of colour in positions of power, with the hopes that she may also one day join them on stage. She pursued her passion for storytelling and has worked with ET Canada, LIVE with Kelly, and Breakfast Television, aspired to create that same feeling of connectedness for others. After experiencing several back to back losses, Priscilla took some time off to find the root of her storytelling message; mental health advocacy and making others feel a little less alone. She started working for Canada's largest mental health organization where she facilitated wellness workshops, wrote, hosted and produced #RecoveryIsPossible: A Mental Health Podcast. Today, Priscilla is the co-founder and Director of Operations at, The Colour Factor, a Non-Profit organization aimed at decolonizing and reclaiming mental health and wellness for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour.

In episode 4 of the Accessible Yoga Podcast, Jivana Heyman and Nicole Cardoza discuss: Embracing failure and the ability to try new things with resilience, even when things go wrong How looking at our work and activism with many different angles and approaches helps us stay flexible and keep the confidence to move forward and just do what needs to be done Giving ourselves grace & accountability through failure Waiting for permission vs. knowing your lane vs. taking responsibility for jumping in where you do have privilege How actually putting ourselves in the way of rejection or failure lets us get better and move forward Failure as a practice and learning from failure in asana Showing up for ourselves in difficult moments Reclaiming our right to be well and what wellness means to Nicole Lessons learned from creating the Anti-Racism Daily newsletter Today's inquiry Each week we'll leave you with a powerful question. We encourage you to sit in inquiry with this question, write about it, discuss it with another community member on this path.
