We’re welcoming the dirty 30’s with open arms baby in this discussion about mental health, the true power of a good support system, how to build confidence even through the rejections, manifesting dreams, & more.
We get into the power of feeling your emotions- that it’s okay not to be okay, and you're not alone. Your emotions are validated. Confidence building may look different for everyone- it’s about finding what works best for you. We talk about how important it is to surround yourself around people in your life who encourage you and have your best interests at heart. Whatever your passion is– GO AFTER IT. No matter what your schedule looks like, even if you’re working full time in healthcare or are busy with kids- if you’re passionate about something, you will find time to work on it, even if for only a couple of minutes a day. You need to take care of yourself first in order to show up for everyone else in your life.
We dive deep into Sports Illustrated! We talk about multi-passionate entrepreneur and Sport’s Illustrated Swimsuit model Kate Bock – who shows us you don’t need to put yourself in “one box”. As Olivia says in this episode- you don’t find your identity in your career, what others think, or your looks. Kate Bock launched Pompette, a sparkling water and healthier alternative to traditional wines and beers that makes you feel like you’re laying by the Mediterranean Coast (hmm, sounds dreamy). We dive into the role models AND Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models Katie Austin and Christen Harper on building confidence and finding yourself, the importance of cheering one another on, & always staying true to you. #girlpower #notyouraveragepharmacist #therapyIScool #mentalhealthawareness #manifestyourdreams

Welcome to the Mermaid's Medicine Cabinet Podcast! In this first episode, I dove deep into the birth of MMC and our mission. We exist to help you take control of your health and happiness, living authentically and in the moment, while feeling radiant and confident in the skin you're in. My mission is to help you find your #islandmind - no matter where you are. We get into how Functional and Integrative Medicine has impacted the lives of my family, friends, patients, as well as my own. Functional Medicine determines how and why an illness occurs, and focuses on the root cause of the disease. An Integrative Medicine approach combines both conventional therapies with the addition of more complementary therapies to treat and heal the whole person- the mind, body, & soul. Plus I am personally passionate with getting more of us into the water! Thank you for tuning in & please don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share with a friend!
