Is your life owning you or do you own it? Big question, right?

After years of studying our experiences, emotions, and behaviors, there’s one thing that I know with absolute certainty and clarity, our personal history, our stories, have incredible, therapeutic healing power.

The problem is most of us do not use this power to our advantage. There is a tool that each of us has access to that is self-directed and requires nothing more than your thoughts, a pen, and a piece of paper.

When was the last time you took a full, deep breath?

I bet it’s been a while, and to be honest, you are not alone! Breathing is a vital part of life, yet most of us underestimate how a simple inhale and exhale can dramatically shift what is happening within. The shift is so significant it’s safe to say that proper, deep, therapeutic breathwork is the most potent and influential function your body has when it comes to regulating your nervous system, thought patterns, and bringing your mind, body, and spirit connection into alignment. The best part is that this ability is already within you and accessible. With such a great tool already at your fingertips, it’s time to use it to your benefit.

Ladies, it’s time to revolutionize our thoughts around physical health! Let me ask you a question: do you understand the inner workings of your body? As in, the natural rhythm of your hormones or even the daily and monthly cycles? How about how many calories you should intake or even when you should actually be eating? How about what it takes to sustain your energy and keep your weight in check? With so much noise and the “do this, not that” culture, it’s time to break down factual, honest answers to reach our ultimate health. In this week’s episode, we do just that with Registered Dietitian Victoria Coglianese.

Life is best lived when in balance, but for most women, achieving balance is the equivalent of walking a tightrope without a safety net underneath—it’s tricky at best and, for many, a definite struggle. This is especially true for working mothers. In this week’s episode, we take on our relationship with work and family while trying to achieve and be quote “good enough mothers” with retired neonatologist Dr. Susan Landers. She walks us through the lessons she learned about work/life balance as a high-achieving physician. Those lessons have now been parlayed into a mission to educate women to show up as their best selves, be present, and own their accomplishments as wives, mothers, and career-driven women.

In this week’s episode, we take on our relationship with food in a deep dive conversation with nutritional, IBS, anxiety, and gut expert Laura Patricia Martin. After all, ’tis the season to overindulgence, leaning into an imbalanced mindset of eating, and of course, we are just weeks away from setting those New Year’s fitness resolutions.
