Stress is part of life—but living in a constant state of stress doesn’t have to be. In this episode of Women of Wellness, we sit down with life coach Yasmin Bleik to talk about how to recognize the signs of stress, understand what’s really driving it, and find practical ways to feel calmer and more in control.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or simply ready to create more balance in your life, this conversation offers realistic strategies you can start using right away.
Because wellness isn’t just about taking care of your body—it’s also about taking care of your mind.
In this episode, Dr. Darlene Gustin ND, and co-host Donna Cappuccitti explore the transformative power of life coaching and how it can help you reconnect with yourself, define what truly matters, and create meaningful change in your life.
Our guest, a life coach dedicated to helping people grow and thrive, shares how setting healthy boundaries can improve relationships, protect your energy, and help you stop putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. We discuss why so many women struggle with saying no, how to recognize patterns that keep us stuck, and how coaching can provide the clarity, accountability, and support needed to move forward.
Whether you are navigating a major life transition, looking to build confidence, seeking more balance, or simply wanting to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are today, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration.
Because wellness isn’t just about caring for your body — it’s also about honouring your values, your time, and your own well-being.

Naturopathic doctors treat a variety of chronic conditions, and there is a strategy to finding the right practitioner for you. Aside from their years of experience, ask if your naturopath has any areas of “special interest”. This means they have taken additional professional education in a specific modality or health condition. Naturopaths may also have equipment in their office for assessment or treatment, such as microscopes, BIA machines, or electrodermal testing. Interestingly, Google reviews and written testimonials are not allowed by their advertising regulations, so word of mouth is best!
If you have any questions, feel free to email Dr. Gustin or message us here. Thank you for listening and please subscribe.
