Radically Thriving Radically Thriving Podcast

When we meet with new clients we get to hear their stories of conception, and often are saddened by the experiences of people with infertility, PCOS, and endometriosis.



We KNOW not enough research is done on women's health, and we see first hand how that affects all of us. We need to demand better. We need to make change. But we all need to understand from a young age that we WILL have to advocate for our own health.



Find a better doctor.

Demand the tests you want.

Learn your cycle, and understand nutrition.

Build a team of holistic experts to reach out to and lean on for health care support.

Andrea is a Dietician, and a Holistic Nutritionist. She is a wealth of information about how important it is to manage your stress, sleep, and gut health to help regulate your hormones.



Your hormones affect EVERYTHING. And if your stress, sleep and gut are off, your hormones are wonky, and you will get symptoms. Some are big, some are small, but some are life altering.



Take your health into your own hands, and start to understand how your body functions optimally.

In the wise words of Sheryl Crow: A change will do you good.



We're in a changing season. We are growing, adjusting, tending to our soil and trying to grow into beautiful perimenopausal dahlias. LMAO.



Today we talk about our health journeys, perimenopause, our trip to Sedona.

On today's episode we are talking with Briar Culbert.

Briar is a mother, multi-passionate learner, healer, and therapist. In her work with clients as a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) she combines her training in Spiritual Psychotherapy with her background in movement, biochemistry, and ceremony to foster a truly holistic and integrative approach. Through Briar's embodied practices, thoughtful questions, reflective space, and coaching clients are offered a unique space for their growth. In her personal life you can find Briar weaving together work, cooking nourishing meals, playing outside with her son, and constantly learning through diverse books and workshops.



Today we chat about the following:

There is so much available to us in this life, and the auto pilot for motherhood is martyrdom. We are trying to move through the mom guilt, the childhood patterns that were demonstrated to us, and we do that by only offended 1/10 listeners per week.

Please Rate, Review, and Subscribe if we leave you wanting more. Give us a follow and see more of our REAL.

A conversation with Sarah’s 12 year old son. We cover his love of engines, what farm life has been like, and what he misses from the city. We touch on what it’s like being a twin, if it’s weird knowing so much about birth, and feelings - what it’s like being a boy. Lastly we discuss what our schooling journey has looked like to date, with jumping around from unschooling, homeschooling, French immersion and English school in a small town.

On today's episode we catch up after the holidays, Sarah starts us off with some heavy topics, and then we talk about our planned sabbatical, our Sedona Trip, new years word of the year's and so much more. This episode is all over the place, which is our favorite kind!
