To say many of us, especially women, have a complicated relationship with food would probably be a bit of an understatement.

S1 Ep 37Identifying the signs of burnout
In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Amy Lindsey - naturopathic doctor and mental health advocate. She is also the founder of Craft & Clinic, where clinical science meets the art of crafted care. She is passionate about treating patients as a whole and complete human beings with unique genetics, environment lifestyle & their own choices in their health. Dr. Amy and I chat about everything from industrialization versus evolution, to the sneaky signs of burnout, to the ways that perfectionism shows up in the ways we care for ourselves. Perimenopause is something so many of us struggle with, but don't really talk enough about - and Dr. Amy is here to change that. She shares her audacity by being a compassionate advocate for women's health and challenging our current care systems. We chatted about: →Noticing the signs of burnout →Being proactive about our care →The mind-body connection →Compassionate care → And more!

S1 Ep 36Shining With Social
Tamar Lyons is the founder of Lyons Digital Marketing - a full-service digital marketing company that helps brands clarify their message. Getting her start in lifestyle and documentary television, Tamar took the skills she developed in one industry and built the career (and life) of her dreams. In today's episode, Tamar (who just happens to be my social media guru) and I talk about taking leaps of faith in order to find our happiness. The plans we make for ourselves very rarely go exactly the way we want them to - and for good reason. Once we let go of the things that are no longer working for us and jump in with both feet, it can be incredible what opportunities open up for us. Tamar shares her audacity by being the proof that you can have everything you want, and more - you just have to be open to it. We chatted about: →Being intentional about how you show up in the world →The value of good storytelling →Turning a side hustle into a career →Leaps of faith →And more!
