    How to Eat Well Without Losing Your Mind w/ Lisa Parda

    What if eating well didn't have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming? In this episode, Lisa Parda and I geek out about real food, how to cook for a busy life, why batch cooking is a game-changer, and how to stop villainizing yourself over a cookie. We also talk about why American processed food tastes different (and not in a good way), how to navigate the grocery store without overwhelm, and why labels are for cans, not people. In this episode, we cover: Why every meal doesn't have to be a culinary feast The magic of batch cooking and freezing in glass jars How to use the Dirty Dozen / Clean 15 list (and when to just buy the damn berries) Why frozen fruits and vegetables are your secret weapon The truth about protein yes, you can have too much Why community cooking might save your week (and your sanity) Resources & Links: Lisa's cookbook: My Love Language Is Food Follow Lisa on Instagram: @starsatnightpublishing EWG.org (Dirty Dozen / Clean 15 list) Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss (recommended book) 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here: 🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com 📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson 🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup 📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson

    Let’s Go to the Wild, Fun, Free Side - Matching Their Energy, Time Audits & Opting Out of the System

    What if you stopped pretending? What if you matched their energy instead of burning out, and used that freed-up time for what actually makes you happy? This episode is an invitation to the wild, fun, free side of life. I get real about the collective exhaustion we’re all feeling, why loyalty at work is a one-way street, and the time audit that frees up hours every week. Plus, how I’m trying to retire without a retirement plan, and why I’m bringing you along for the ride. In this episode, I cover: Why matching their energy is the path to freedom The 7-day time audit (free up 3–4 hours for joy) Opting out of the biggest scam in history How to figure out what actually makes you happy My new podcast direction: interviewing wild, unconventional humans & of course Self-care and Nervous System Regulation as well! 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here: 🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com 📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson 🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup 📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson Xo, T

  3. 10 Small Shifts to Calm Your Nervous System & Live in Your Purpose (Big Announcement)

    10 Small Shifts to Calm Your Nervous System & Live in Your Purpose (Big Announcement)

    I'm back with a solo episode to share a big shift happening inside my business, and inside my own life. After interviewing experts and going through my own transformation, I've realized something important: Self-care isn't enough if your lifestyle doesn't change too. So today, I'm walking you through the 4 pillars of this new direction and giving you 10 small, unique shifts you can start using right now. Listen to find out: Why self-care alone keeps you pushing a boulder uphill The 4 pillars of a truly aligned life (unlearning, rebuilding, real alternatives, + human needs) How to shift your lifestyle without blowing up your life 10 nervous-system-supporting practices you can do today The 10 Shifts I Cover: Humming – stimulates the vagus nerve and increases nasal nitric oxide (great for sinuses!) Holding the gratitude – asking "What am I grateful for today?" keeps it expansive Naming your future self – "What would future T do?" Using the sun to cleanse your energy – close your eyes and let it burn away the clutter Allowing yourself to feel the feelings – my "pity party" method that actually works Going to sleep as the best version of you – fall asleep in your favorite moment of the day Slowing down during pleasurable activities – bees, gardens, and savoring Taking a few deep breaths before meals – move into rest + digest before you eat Honoring your body – check in and actually listen Accepting yourself as you are right now – not some future version Connect with Tina: 📧 Email list –https://www.tinastinson.com/hbl-blog-sign-up – get notified for blogs, podcasts, and the next Soul Aligned Life Retreat 🧭 Mentorship inquiry – Free "get to know me" call – https://calendly.com/tinastinson/free-intro-to-private-coaching 🌐 Website transition – Moving to Soul Aligned Life in August (email list stays with me!) it will still be https://www.tinastinson.com Mentioned in this episode: "If you're interested in shifting your lifestyle and don't know how to get started, this is the type of mentorship I'm moving into.

    Get Quiet (But Make It Active): Healing Your Nervous System in Midlife (Bonus Meditation) w/Elaine Glass

    Feeling burnt out? Like you are just "should-ing" all over yourself? In this episode, Elaine Glass returns to the podcast to blow up the myth that meditation has to be still and silent. She introduces the Nemus Code, an energy medicine modality born from a dream and a 20-year career in healthcare. Elaine shares how she healed from burnout and Hashimoto's as a single mom by learning to actively get quiet. We discuss why you can't move forward until your nervous system feels safe, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and why those "random" obsessions (like pattern-making or art) are actually your soul guiding you home. What You’ll Learn: 00:05 Why "Get Quiet" is actually a walking meditation (not just sitting still). 05:15 The science of why you can't heal until your body feels safe. 12:40 How to stop the "hustle mentality" in your 50s and tune into your body. 18:30 The origin story of the Nemus Code (and the dream that started it all). 25:00 The 8 energy points to unlock your own inner guru (Guided practice inside). 32:00 Why following a short-lived obsession (like Etsy silver sets) is vital for your health.

You are your own psychic. You are your own medium. The guidance comes in the quiet." — Elaine Glass "We think happiness is a big, bang experience. Actually, it's just tiny little joyful moments that add up to heal your life." — Elaine Glass 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here: 🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com 📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson 🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup 📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson

    How Grief Became a Widow’s Greatest Creative Collaboration (with Ksenia J. Merck)

    What happens when the person you love most leaves, and leaves behind an unfinished story? For Ksenia J. Merck, the answer wasn't to pack away her husband's manuscript. It was to pick up her paintbrush. In this episode, Ksenia opens up about losing her husband Bill in March 2024, and how finishing his science fiction novel Ghost Flower became her lifeline. She painted the cover. She illustrated the interior. She wrote a companion journal. And along the way, she discovered that grief can be a doorway into something unexpected: collaboration that doesn't end when a heartbeat does. If you've ever lost someone and wondered if they're still with you, or if you're sitting on a creative project that feels too painful to touch, this conversation is for you. What You'll Learn 🎨 How Ksenia felt Bill's presence while painting the Ghost Flower cover, and why she knows it wasn't just imagination 📖 What the Ghost Flower Companion Journal is (and how it helps readers go deeper into the novel's themes) ⏳ The book's central question: Would you time travel to save humanity knowing you couldn't come back? 🧠 Why purpose might be the most underrated tool for navigating grief 🌿 How nature, art, and solitude helped Ksenia rebuild after loss ✨ The concept of "soul contracts" and why Ksenia believes this project was always meant for her 🎭 The difference between structured architectural work and free creative expression—and why she needs both Resources & Links 🌐 Ksenia's Website: https://www.merckiipress.com/ 📸 Instagram: @merck2press 💼 LinkedIn: Ksenia Merck 📘 Facebook: Merck2Press 🙏 Thank you for tuning in to the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast! ✨ If you loved this episode, please: Subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode Share it with a friend who needs this message If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts, leave a quick review to help this show reach more amazing women like you 💜 🔗 Connect with me here: 🌐 Website: https://www.tinastinson.com 📌 Patreon (support the podcast & receive exclusive practices + monthly resets): https://www.patreon.com/tinastinson 🎁 Freebie: The Self Healing Toolkit - stop burnout, stress, and overwhelm in their tracks & start to regulate your nervous system: https://www.tinastinson.com/signup 📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SASCTinaStinson
