    When Coping with Anxiety Becomes a Pattern: Understanding Addiction Differently

    What if the patterns you keep repeating… aren’t random? In this episode, we explore a different lens on addiction and emotional patterns—one that looks at how unmet needs in the body can drive behaviors like control, avoidance, overgiving, or emotional shutdown. Through the perspective of the body’s energy centers, you’ll start to understand how disconnection from self-worth, expression, connection, and meaning may be influencing your patterns more than you realize. This isn’t about labeling or diagnosing.It’s about building awareness—so you can start working with your body, instead of against it. In This Episode, We Explore: How emotional patterns can form as a response to unmet internal needsThe connection between addiction and self-worth (Solar Plexus)Why suppressed emotions impact the Throat Chakra (expression)How the Heart Chakra (connection) can influence emotional dependencyThe role of the Crown Chakra (meaning & purpose) in feelings of emptinessA new way to shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What do I need?” Your patterns aren’t the problem—they’re signals. When you begin to understand what your body is trying to regulate or communicate, you create space for real, lasting change. If this episode resonated with you, make sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next. And if you know someone who’s been stuck in similar patterns, share this episode with them—sometimes awareness is the first step toward change.

    Anxiety & Gut Health in Kids: Raising Resilient Children Naturally

    Anxiety in children doesn’t start in the mind — it often begins in the body. In this episode, we explore how gut health, physical development, and nervous system signals influence resilience, confidence, and emotional wellbeing in kids. In this special episode, I’m bringing together two powerful conversations with experts who support families in understanding the body-mind connection in children’s health. In the first half, chiropractor Dr. Jennifer Teasdale shares how structural imbalances and fascial restrictions can affect babies and children — from digestion and constipation to movement challenges and confidence in their bodies. In the second half, registered nurse Ninu Lammens explains how gut health shapes children’s emotional regulation, anxiety levels, and overall wellbeing from infancy through the teenage years. Together, we explore how parents can better understand the signals coming from their child’s body, and support them in building a strong foundation for lifelong resilience. In this episode we discuss: • Why babies sometimes struggle with constipation and what may be happening structurally • How fascia and physical limitations can affect a child’s confidence • The connection between gut health and anxiety in children • What parents should know about leaky gut and gluten sensitivity • Simple ways moms can support their children’s physical and emotional resilience This episode will help you see your child’s symptoms through a different lens — not as problems to fix, but as signals guiding us toward deeper understanding and healing. ______ Find Dr. Jennifer Teasdale: https://www.drjenniferteasdale.ca/ Instagram Here. _____ Find Ninu Lammens: https://www.womenshighvibehealth.com/ Instagram HERE. $100 OFF "Happy Gut Program" with Promo Code: JANELLE ______ Find Janelle Plamondon: www.wellnesstogreatness.ca Instagram HERE.
