S3 Ep 42Meghan Pherrill Gordon Wants You To Find Balance in Your Life
In today's conversation, we are joined by Meghan Pherrill Gordon. In this conversation with Meghan, we cover a lot of ground. She's a podcast host, she has a yoga business, and she teaches us about Human Design. But the part of this interview that I really enjoyed, and I think you're going to love, is the deep dive into her personal experience with being diagnosed with extreme anxiety and OCD at a very young age. Her experiences with that and how she overcame it are really inspirational. Meghan explains how she built her own practice and then began sharing what she learned through yoga and meditation with others, step by step and piece by piece. It is a great conversation about trying new things, finding balance, and finding the things that light you up and work for you. In this episode you will hear: Overcoming anxiety and OCD. Deciding to make the changes that you want in your life and then working on those changes. The power of yoga and meditation to change your life. Revising good things to find what works for you. How Human Design can help you to understand the nature of your being. Finding the thing that lights you up now. Meghan Pherrill Gordon is the creator of Balance by Meghan, an online community designed to empower and inspire you on your wellness journey so you can be the best version of yourself. Meghan is the host of the Balance Your Life Podcast, a 500-hour yoga teacher, a meditation teacher and trainer, a wellness influencer, and a Human Design reader. She lives in Nova Scotia with her husband, loves to travel (when there isn't a pandemic), practice yoga, get outside in nature, and geeks out over anything wellness.

S3 Ep 37Loren Cellentani Wants You to Manifest Your Best Self For Yourself
For today's episode, Loren joins us as we tackle the topic of anxiety. We talk about the expectations placed on us from society, from our family, and from ourselves, and how the stress of these expectations can manifest in our bodies as anxiety and can lead us away from our own, true, personal goals and desires. Most of our lives are run on autopilot by our subconscious mind, while most of the autopilot programming is done in childhood. We explore the idea of reprogramming our subconscious through small, intentional changes in our daily habits, and how this leads to higher mindfulness and awareness of self. Loren shares with us the ins and outs of her Manifesting Me program for ambitious women, with which she aims to help empower women to build awareness around their habits and emotions, build trust in their thoughts and emotions, and get down to what they truly want for their lives. We also talk about how technology has impacted our ability to grow and change, such as improving the accessibility of tools for growth and change, and the opposite side of that coin where we can get lost in the vast amount of information and easily get sucked into the online void. In this episode, you will hear: The prevalence of anxiety in our society, particularly for women Panic attacks, and anxiety in general, as a message from our bodies Rewiring our subconscious autopilot to facilitate awareness and mindfulness Becoming an observer of your own thoughts and emotions Loren's Manifesting Me program for ambitious women How technology has improved the accessibility of tools for growth and change Loren's call to action to start yourself on this journey of growth, love, and trust Loren Cellentani spent a good portion of her life feeling like her body & emotions were sabotaging any chance at a happy successful life. From crippling anxiety, chronic digestive distress, migraines and in the middle of a divorce, Loren knew something had to change! After many years of trying all the superfoods, techniques and meditations, Loren cracked the code to turn energy draining anxiety into focused confident action that helped her not only find peace of mind but also manifest her dream life. Now, Loren is a Manifestation Coach who helps ambitious women harness the power of their emotions to manifest their dreams with passion and purpose. You hear the calling of your soul to shine more, but what's keeping you from living that reality? It's time to step outside your head and into your true potential!

Lisa has joined us today to talk about Audaz, a new self-help VR software that employs the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to teach users about anxiety and help them learn methods to overcome their own anxiety. She gives us a simple breakdown of how this works, how Audaz takes a user through an anxiety-inducing situation step by step, and rewards them for each small successful action.

Lastly, Rachel shares with us her approach to a basic skincare routine which includes cleansing morning and night, with a double cleanse at night, using products free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and artificial dyes and fragrances, moisturizing your skin with a toxin-free moisturizer, using sunscreen every day, gently exfoliating 2-5 times a week with a non-abrasive exfoliating product to remove oxidative stressors from your skin, and using at-home masks or peels to help moisturize and exfoliate In this episode you will hear: Blending energy, mindset, beauty, and wellbeing Impacts of EMF on your skin EMF as the smoking of our generation Toxic bucket theory EMF mitigation strategies Five key basics to healthy skin Rachel Varga is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist since 2011 with over 20,000 procedures performed.

The Healthier Tech Podcast Season 3
bonusThe Healthier Tech Podcast is the show about building a healthier relationship with modern technology. We live in a tech-centric world. Every year, technology enters more facets of our lives. And we enjoy it. It provides us with entertainment, health care and much more; it fuels our economy and provides us with income. Technology has brought us a tremendous amount of value. But with all this tech has come a downside. Increasingly, many of us have begun to realize: maybe this is too much? Maybe my personal relationship with technology is harming my health, my quality of life, and society in general? This show is about finding that dividing line. Diving into the ways that technology adds value to our lives– AND the ways in which it can cause harm. Each week, we'll interview a different guest – a business owner, an entrepreneur, a scientist, a doctor or a thought-leader. And with each guest, we're going to get into a discussion that pinpoints where they view this dividing line, the ways in which technology is helping their audience or their clients or their customers, and the ways in which maybe their clients, customers and audience could be using tech a bit more mindfully. So if you're interested in improving your relationship with tech, this show is for you. If you want to hear from interesting voices on various facets of relating to technology, this show is for you. If you want to find a healthier, more intentional and more mindful balance with modern technology, this show is for you.
