Are you suffering from painful periods? Is perimenopause and menopause shifting your whole world? If you are looking for a holistic alternative, this episode is for you! Join us as we interview Terri Long, CEO of Hemplily to discuss how hemp works in the body, what the endocannabinoid system is and how hemp can support re-balancing your hormones.
Hemplily is located in North Carolina and all of Hemplily's products are proudly made in the USA. Hemplily was born out of a need for an alternative to synthetic "remedies" that only mask issues instead of getting to the root cause. Hemp helps to restore, heal and support the body naturally with little to no risk of side effects. The more we learn about the endocannabinoid system and how our bodies have been deficient for over 80 years, the more we realize the need to educate and support women to get back on track the way nature intended.
Terri Long is the CEO and founder of Hemplily. Terri started her natural wellness journey after a 15 year battle with Fibromyalgia, then shortly after, finding herself with symptoms of peri-menopause. In 2017 she created Hemplily specifically to help address those symptoms naturally. Hemp is a wonderful and still widely misunderstood plant that offers so much relief with less risk of side effects than most OTC medicines. Hemplily offers a free product trial plus free lifetime consultations and a satisfaction guarantee! If you’re looking for a natural alternative to the prescription or HRT rollercoaster, go to Hemplily.com to learn more or chat or give them a call.”

GUEST BIOS:
Jacqueline Aiello is a mom to two sons, lives on Long Island, and is an attorney by trade. For Jacqueline, The Nesting Place is the lemonade that resulted from the lemons she found herself with as a new mom and returning to work. Struggling with the pressures of being a new mom, sleep deprivation, and anxiety, Jacqueline knew that moms needed a place to feel supported. With that in mind, Jacqueline wanted to form a community-based space that women could come in to meet other moms, hear their stories, offer support and maybe offer a bit of guidance. She believes there is something so empowering about a group of mothers together, sharing their truth and lifting each other up with a healthy dose of mama wisdom and perspective. Jacqueline hopes that women find The Nesting Place to be their solace, their place of guidance and support, and community.
Laura Siddons has had a passion for moms and babies since she can remember. She became a certified birth doula in 2008 and since then has supported many mothers and families. She currently works as a birth and postpartum doula and teaches childbirth education classes at The Nesting Place.
Through her work as a doula and her own experience in becoming a mother, her passion has only continued to grow. Laura believes in connecting families with resources and face-to-face support services to help them make informed decisions throughout their unique journey.
Laura is the current co-president of the Long Island Doula Association. Laura lives in Suffolk County with her husband and three children. She believes that a mom can never have enough information and support around her; and she is honored to have the opportunity to realize her dream of opening a safe space where moms can gather, share, find and give support.
This week we interview a fellow FNTP, Morgan Simon, who is a Holistic Nutritionist and Wellness Expert based in Austin, TX. Morgan believes deeply in an evidence-based approach to personalized nutrition, discovering bio-individual needs, and creating healthy family, home, and work environments. In this fun-filled episode, we discuss what postpartum health is and why optimal nourishment is so important during this phase in a woman's life.
Morgan provides our listeners with clear-cut suggestions and easy to incorporate tips that you can use if you are embarking on a postpartum journey or, if you have a loved one or friend who is in the throes of postpartum health. We also discuss the importance of nutrient-dense foods for baby, baby's first foods and how to avoid the "mom hustle"! Enjoy!

Join Kristen & Ciara for part one of this two part series where we lay the foundation for setting up a whole foods kitchen. We break down everything you'll need to know to fill your kitchen and pantry with nutrient-dense, organic foods. In this episode we cover all of your dry goods and spices, vinegars and condiments, and begin to talk about how the freezer should be your best friend.
