I had the honour of being a guest on the hormonal mama podcast this past week, and I had so much fun connecting with Cara that I had to share it with you!
We both share a deep passion for Women's Health and hormones. Two women coming together dedicated to making it known that just because it is "common" to have hormonal imbalances doesn't make it normal or ok!
I had such a great time getting to know her and am so excited to share this valuable episode with all of you. ♡

Are you taking the time to dive deeper into your experiences?
In this episode, I come at you as a hot mess, recovering from surgery because it brought up a lot for me on the importance of taking a deeper look into your experiences. I will give you some examples of what that can look like, how that can support you, why it's so important, and how using tools like your core values and guide you to look deeper. You are so deserving of a deep dive into yourself and the world around you. ♡

Have you ever thought about moving to a new city? What about a new country? What if you didn’t speak the language? Does it sound exciting or terrifying? Do you ever find yourself wishing you could do something but feel a nagging sense of self-doubt?
“Oh, I would love to do that if only I were more confident.”
If so, then this podcast is for you.
Bonnie has never walked a straight and narrow path; she is more of a wanderer – grabbing opportunities as they have come up. It all started when she was 18 and moved to Mexico for a year speaking no Spanish, other than the popular “North American phrase,” “Dos cervezas, por favor.” Since then, she has traveled to over 30 countries, living in Australia and Nicaragua for a year.
Back in Canada now, she is a coach and a teacher in a variety of arts and sports (dance, judo, diving), and through that, she recognizes a core feature that holds people of all ages back from progressing towards the life they want to live: Confidence. In this episode, she shares some simple ways to recognize, build up and protect self-confidence.

Let's break down some of these common phrases with fresh eyes! Let’s look at them from a space of growth and achievement. From a space that feels expansive, fun, and no longer in the restriction of perfectionism.

New year new you… it’s a great slogan. But instead of a new you what if you loved what already is and want to enhance it even more. Continue to evolve what is already there. Choose to continue to grow into the best version of YOU. YOU the individual. We already have one of someone else, the world needs you and your gifts. Decide this year to stop denying not only the world but your loved ones around you and the people you serve or hope to serve in the future your best self. They deserve what is best of you, not what’s left of you.
Ask yourself what if what is best for me IS what is best for everyone else.
Make this a year of diving into self-care and finding what brings you joy and fulfillment.
Discover for yourself this year how truly selfless self-care is.
I believe in you!

Dr. Bostock was drawn to Naturopathic Medicine because of its emphasis on empowering patients in their own healing process and its focus on utilizing nature’s principles in health.
From the time of his first day in practice, it has been his passion to assist patients in creating an approach that is suited to their goals and needs, that is safe and effective. With all of his patients, Dr. Bostock takes the time to listen to their concerns, educate them, connect dots where needed, and empower them with different options and treatments to reach their health goals in the shortest amount of time possible.
Most of his patients are dealing with some combination of the following: fatigue, anxiety, digestive concerns like bloating or constipation, hormone-related issues like painful periods, endometriosis, or PCOS. Depression and chronic pain are also very common. Regardless of the current symptoms, you’re having, the goal is working as a team to uncover the UNDERLYING CAUSES for why you’re not feeling your best. Once this is determined, steps are taken to address these causes--not just fix your symptoms.
Together, an individualized plan is created using natural treatments combined with modern science to restore and optimize your health. The treatment plan often includes nutrition and dietary recommendations, routine or specialty lab testing, and use of supplements integrated with movement and exercise or even use of bioidentical hormone treatment or pharmaceuticals, where necessary. Treatment is often done alongside other health care professionals to help create a treatment that compliments the strategies you already have in place.
Working in this way, life-changing results can happen. Newfound energy, waking rested, happy & stable moods…relief of lingering pain, embarrassing digestion, or skin issues. This translates to a much more healthy, vibrant life--the kind Dr. Bostock believes we’re all meant to live.
Dr. Bostock can be reached through his Instagram accounts @drclaytonbostocknd and @dr.bostocknd and his website www.drclaytonbostock.com

You all know I love women’s health from the umbrella of health, happiness, hormones, and the harmony between all of them. Helping women from this perspective has become a deep passion and purpose of mine. In this episode, I dive into the realm of habits and identity from that space. Your habits create your identity; your identity fuels your habits. What is beautiful is this is a cycle that you have control over.
Changing my identity from someone who was broken, chronically ill, and couldn't be helped to a place of empowered action taking was one of the greatest shifts of my life.
You have the control of breaking whatever cycle you are in that no longer aligns with you and change it at any moment.

Join me in today's episode as I share the deeper reasons why I do what I do and why talking about hormones is very important. If this resonates with you or with extreme symptoms that you know are not "normal" female problems, know that you are not alone. Also, know that you have all the right to persist in seeking help.

Guess who’s back for an amazing episode.....Sherysse! I am so excited to have the former co-host of The Evolution of Mom with me to dive into some important topics that I deeply believe all women need to hear. We touch on letting go and saying "No" to what is out of alignment for you, even when it’s with your closest loved ones. We dive into celebrating women (yourself and others) sacred feminine and the importance of learning more about yourself...the light and the dark.

In this week's episode, I celebrate an entrepreneurial mother who has completely transformed her life. Angela Backus is a woman who has seen her own version of "rock bottom" and has been dedicated to her growth and to letting go of what does not serve her ever since.
We get into a beautiful discussion on what it can look like when you choose to step away from what's weighing on you and isn't bringing you passion, purpose, and joy. It can truly help you shift your mental, physical and spiritual health. Finding what serves you as an individual, collaboration over competition, celebration over judgment and jealousy...we get into it all!

This week's episode dives into focussing on using what we have control over to help us get out of a state of overwhelm. We have more control over things than I think we give ourselves credit for. When we get into an unresourceful state and feeling the weight of the world, this is one of the most powerful tools that can bring us back from those big feelings (which are valid, and I get into that as well!)
Prep yourself; this may have turned a little emotional and maybe didn't even come across as I had meant - I wasn't planning on tears...but I feel the message is important.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but for humans, it can give us life. Are being curious? Are you using this tool that our brain has given us to find our passion, purpose, and joy? If not I encourage you to dive into this more! This quick episode dives into the power of curiosity and how it can lead us to the most beautiful places.

In this week’s episode, I am so excited to introduce my wonderful and magical friend, Rae-Lynn! We talked all about intuitive joy! Her gift for describing the difference between external happiness vs. internal joy is beautiful.
Make sure you listen for the incredible analogy Rae-Lynn gives on filling your cup...hint, what if there’s an EXTRA cup?!
....I know your mind will be just as blown as mine was!
Who is Rae-Lynn?
She helps women who go through life as that “strong women,” living in their masculine, always there for everyone else, “tough” yet disconnected from self to Re{Wild} - healing, feeling, shifting - connecting with self, to be present, experience joy and be embodied!

In this episode, we talk about success and defining what it looks like for you. The one thing that sets us up for failure is comparing our success over others. We have to remember that just like happiness, success is different for everybody. Make sure to find out what brings you fulfillment, passion, and joy. It also helps if you understand that success is cultivated from falling in love with the journey. How about you? What does success look like for you?

In today's episode, we are diving even deeper into the topic of the soul how it, along with our body, is continually speaking and reaching out to let us know which direction we need to go. It's important to practice listening intently to your soul and body, especially when things are hectic, scary, painful, and filled with fear. You have so much potential left untapped, and today is the perfect time to start realizing that. Start leaning into yourself authentically, and you'll thank yourself for that.

In this episode, we were joined by a life transformer and the host of SOULcleanse, Dylan Bowman. There's so much vulnerability in this episode, but also we had fun sharing our experiences, thoughts and opinions. We chatted about what it is like to be a woman and a mom, embracing and celebrating being feminine, moving through pain, triggers, self-love, and so much more.
Dylan Bowman has been training clients for over 13 years after receiving her personal training certification from the National Personal Training Institute in 2008. Next, she was certified in massage, yoga-training with specialization in yin-style, meditation, and reiki level 1 and 2 will be going for reiki master. She trained in SRI while working for a Network Spinal Analysis office. This inspired her to create her own breathwork influenced by SRI. Everything she did assisted in expanding my intuition to connect better with humans.

We wanted to talk about it from the perspective of a mother, wife or women in different stages of life.

Always, always choose yourself so you step out as the best version of yourself.

Notice how anything inferior or weak is labeled as feminine? As if being feminine is wrong. We talk about feminine energy, mindset shift, and energy flow in today's episode. We also share how we realized that leaning more into our feminine side brings us joy, abundance, pleasure, and strength. Remember that if you constantly find yourself coming from a place of scarcity and fear, it's going to hold you back from reaching your goal. Why not go out into the world, walk towards your goal with your head held high, and do it with joy.

[1:20] Living in a man's world

Today's episode ties perfectly with last week's, so make sure you check out that interview we did with Jenny McKinney as well. We wanted to talk about how we all should STOP berating ourselves over an imagined body image that's not even ideal.

We also talk about learning to accept compliments graciously and to keep your head up high. Choose to own your beauty and confidently take your space in this world.

Women and wearing makeup continue to bring controversial conversations even to this day. Women have differing opinions about makeup and fashion, and so today, we sit down with a freelance makeup artist Jenny McKinney. She talks about how makeup influences our state, which then influences how we interact with the world, and in turn, it affects the result we get. All women are innately beautiful, but pulling ourselves together, as simple as putting lip balm on, is like reminding ourselves of our magnificent.
The Okanagan's own premier freelance makeup artist Jenny Mckinney, with over twenty years experience in the beauty industry, offers a boutique-style on-site service combining her creative passion and gift of communication to help you realize your beauty goals. She has a contagious enthusiasm and unique talent for colour that will glorify your own unique beauty to its highest while still feeling like yourself.

It's been such a beautiful journey discovering all these beautiful women who share our vision, passion, and love for womanhood. Today's episode is no different because we sit down with Amy Cothren, the founder of The Mama Mindset podcast. We had such a good discussion that we lost track of time, but we're sure you'll love it! This episode is filled with nuggets of wisdom and empowerment that all women should hear! Stay tuned!
Amy is a mother of 3 beautiful girls and a wife. She left her dream job a few months after her first daughter was born to be a stay-at-home mom, and never looked back. Without a mentor or a solid community to guide or assist her on this new path, it was up to her to direct her life down the course she wanted it to go. Her passion is to shift the mama mindset, one woman at a time.
The Mama Mindset podcast was born from Amy's passion for creating a growth mindset among moms, and I feel that is the key to leading a fulfilled life. At some point, someone decided women should be talked to softly, kindly, and gently. She says we need to put a stop to all of that.

In this episode, we talk to the owner of Food Effects Nutrition about how our mindset about food can significantly affect our relationship with food. Brigitta Beer shares her journey as a child and how she struggled with certain food. The realization she made that it’s not the mindset she’d like to pass on to her kids. We also talked about the challenges of having kids who are picky eaters and what you can do as a mom to support them. More importantly, we covered the culture of dieting and how this has affected most of us negatively.
Brigitta was working towards becoming a personal trainer and in the process, started more formal training in nutrition, and it just clicked one day. She realized she needed to really undo a lot of what she thought about food and health and rebuild based on what her body told her it needed – and what was harming it. Now, she’s a registered holistic nutritionist, and she believes she can help people best by listening to their symptoms and looking at their live blood.
With advanced certification in live blood analysis, looking at a person’s blood under a microscope gives us tons of indications about what’s going on between their gut, digestion, pH balance, nutrient deficiencies, organ imbalances – plus so much more – and their overall health. When we correct the imbalances, the rest of the body falls in line. And how do we do this? With real food.

Still in keeping with the theme of health, today we talk about how our external environment directly reflects what's inside. Almost always, we make an excuse that our external factors are uncontrollable, and therefore, we are setting ourselves up to fail. What we don't realize is that we have MORE control over things than we think. The key takeaway in today's episode is understanding the power of changing our mindset, telling ourselves a different story, and shifting our inner thoughts.
Show notes:
[1:25] Making realizations that things need to shift
[6:05] The internal dialogue you do is very important

There are so many things that you can do to make you feel "healthy" physically and mentally. You can eat healthy, be physically active, have massages, go to the gym or spa, do yoga and breathwork, and so much more. But there will come a time when you will continuously feel empty or incomplete, and you'll have to dive deeper to figure that out.
In today's episode, we talk about how you can feed your soul and find a connection to yourself. You have to remember that you can't keep pouring without replenishing your happiness. At the end of this episode, you'll hopefully realize that to attain holistic stillness, you need to work on ALL aspects of your life.

Thank you for tuning in as we continue to talk about and give importance to our health. In today’s episode, we tackle yet another critical aspect of health that frequently gets neglected. The problem with mental health issues is that people can’t see anything physically wrong with you. This results in people suffering in silence and loneliness, making this specific health issue very difficult to heal. It takes a whole lot of willpower and determination to get out of the darkness on your own, which is why it’s crucial to strengthen your mental space as early and as soon as you can.
Show notes:
[1:30] To reconnect your mind and body, discover what’s going on in your mental space
[3:39] Stress brings about the survival mode in our body

[9:10] When you’re training your brain the wrong way

If you treat your employees like crap, how long do you think they’ll want to work for you? Pretty sure they’re not going to stay long, right? This is the mindset we need to have when it comes to our physical health. The slightest shift in our perspective will unequivocally result in positive changes. We need to understand and respect the complexity of health and that it is composed of different components or layers. In today’s episode, we want to urge our listeners to listen to your body intently and understand what your fire alarm is.
Show notes:
[0:00] Intro
[2:06] Physical health is one thing you have until you don’t

Today's topic is a prelude to upcoming episodes about health. We wanted to talk about health and what it is? Is it simply the absence of illness, or does health encompasses more than just your physical state? We wanted to paint a picture that physical health is just a piece of the puzzle, and there are MORE aspects in our life that we need to address. Being healthy is about your relationship with your environment, your community, and so much more. Our body is supposed to live in homeostasis, and so the connections between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states are essential.
Show notes:
[1:10] What is healthy?
[3:54] Mental and physical health — the connection
[4:58] Health professionals often ask us to focus on our physical state instead of checking other spaces
[9:33] The importance of looking outside and beyond your physical space
[11:00] Our body rewards us when to connect with others and reward yourself
[12:21] Survival isn't how we're meant to live, PLUS a powerful exercise to help with your awareness
[13:57] Breaking your health into different areas to see which areas you're neglecting
[17:01] List the things that feed the different areas in your life
[17:22] You are in charge of your health
[18:41] Strive to figure out to be better --- it's a journey

Today’s a hard topic because as humans, we are programmed to be social beings and we are taught to fit in. So having to sit down and reflect on who you have to be around is painful. It is part of “growing up” to ask, “Are the people around me helping me or hurting me?” Evaluating the people around you is a big part of self-care; whether they are taking you to your next level or pulling you down instead. Having to let go of people who aren’t influencing you to better yourself might sound selfish, but these are those moments when you are allowed to make selfish decisions for yourself.
Show notes:
[1:45] Eating with friends
[2:35] Crabs in a bucket
[4:34] The moment when the flip switches
[6:17] When you are such a giver, takers will take advantage of you
[7:45] In order to reach your higher self, you have to let some people go
[9:12] “You teach people how to treat you”
[11:56] Imposter syndrome
[13:52] Losing yourself in the process of pleasing others
[16:31] Getting uncomfortable is where growth is
[18:56] We’ve come a long way in our community
[19:58] It sometimes takes somebody believing in you for you to believe in yourself

Today’s topic is something most moms are having a hard time doing because of guilt. Unfortunately, moms are wired to think that self care is a form of selfishness and that doing so will make us “bad moms”. Thankfully it’s one of those things that we get wrong. In today’s episode, we talk about self care and how important it is especially for moms. It’s just a matter of understanding your needs and figuring out how to incorporate that into your life. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Show notes:
[1:49] Recognizing self care and what we need
[4:21] From selfish to selfless
[6:40] Breathing is valuable in self care
[10:00] Favorite forms of self care
[13:20] Don’t take on too much at once
[15:53] What does self care look like for you?

The state of overwhelm is one of those things that moms are constantly being pulled into, but it's also something that women find difficult to recognize. More often than not, we are already at the breaking point before recognizing the state we are already in. There’s so much stigma around this topic and so we wanted to open a discussion about overwhelm in today’s episode. Remember that at the end of the day what’s best for the people around you is for you to NOT pour from an empty cup.
Show notes:
[1:11] Overwhelm, a state of survival mode
[2:46] Reactive state when you’re overwhelmed and tea kettle analogy
[5:56] Postpartum depression
[7:35] Feeling safe to communicate your feelings
[8:50] Recognizing overwhelm
[11:02] State of avoidance
[11:55] Recognizing and getting yourself out of overwhelm
