Ylani Talks | Redefining Self-Care & Love for Your Mental Health Ylani Salcedo, Host & Copywriter

Today I am joined by Vineeta Prasad, a Registered Clinical Counselor in British Columbia and the founder of Feeling & Healing Wellness. Vineeta is a wellness enthusiast and has built a community through mindfulness techniques such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork. All three have the power to heal wounds, provide a routine for the uncentered, and allow for self-awareness.

Vineeta’s community combines fact-based therapy with holistic wellness practices. Instead of offering two separate entities, Vineeta bridges the gap to understand the individual and match wellness practices to the circumstance. It is not a one size fits all program because everyone in the community has a different story. Vineeta breaks it down in a safe space with coping skills to take home. Today, we learn healing is ongoing, and we need multiple mechanisms on our journey.

Join me on today’s episode as Vineeta shares what led her to create her wellness brand and why community is so important in healing your past trauma.

Topics Covered:


Healing is a continuous process and travels at its own pace
Holistic wellness encompasses a variety of practices for every day
Self awareness is vital on your healing journey
Always have a routine to recenter your mindset
You are in full control of how you heal
Bridging the gap between fact-based therapy and a holistic approach

Today I am joined by Alexandra Cohl, a PR and Marketing consultant for podcasters and podcast host of The Pod Broads. Her background as a writer and educator led her to a natural talent for research and analysis to create her company, POD.DRALAND.

Alexandra’s story is one of individuality and strife. She takes her life experiences and shapes them to discover more about herself and her passions at heart. She knows immediately when something is not hitting the mark, and she pivots just as quickly to adjust her reality to something brighter and more majestic. She is committed to evolving and improving herself and thereby offering the same to others through her work.

As Alexandra’s story unfolds, we learn to lean into our passions from the start, to be unafraid of learning new things, and to share our hardships with like-minded individuals to empower us to continue to grow and transform our lives.

Topics Covered:


Life experiences can shape your interests and career choices
Words and stories mean something and should be intentional
Collective trauma and the potential to heal those wounds

Today I am joined by Lisa Caprelli, author of the Children’s Unicorn Book Series, Unicorn Jazz. Lisa started her dream career in a Benjamin Button fashion in 2018. She went from working with CEOs and professors to elementary school children and even babies, teaching one best marketing practices and the other how to celebrate their differences and self-regulate their emotions.

Lisa begs the question, are you fulfilled in your life? It’s the constant growth and adaptation of our being that shows us it’s meant to be. She tells us to do things you love and you will be happy, and even better, then you can pour that happiness into others.

Join me on today’s episode as Lisa illustrates how Unicorn Jazz isn’t only for children, but also for the CEO and everyone in between.

Topics Covered:


Learning to self-regulate emotions
Celebrating different perspectives
How to be fulfilled in life
