    Finding softness during times of stress

    When short-term stressors become long-term stressors our brains and bodies go into a chronic state of sympathetic nervous system activation also known as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This becomes our new homeostasis and getting out of this can become quite uncomfortable because this state becomes so familiar and almost comfortable for many of us. Sometimes we may not even realize it because it has become our normal. In this conversation, Dr. Kristy Lewis and Pamyna Bourgeois will discuss the following: What happens when short-term stressors become long-term stressors The difference between how stress impacts the body vs. the mind/emotion How our stress responses have changed over time How to live alongside long-term stress How this is specifically showing up for women in caregiver roles, aka moms How to find relief amounts all this stress Find out more about Pamyna’s services at https://drkristylewis.ca/

    We are still talking about stress

    Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. Without it, we ultimately would not be able to survive in our environment. It allows us to detect danger and perform the appropriate response to save ourselves. But what happens when it goes too long? Our evolutionary adaptation has not caught up to the stressors of modern civilization. This can have a profound effect on us physically and mentally. Dr. Kristy, ND, and Dr. Viinberg, ND, speak about the consequences of unmanaged stress, share some of their personal experiences, and go over simple tips to break the endless cycle.  You don't want to miss this one!

    The Perimenopause women during the Pandemic

    It's not your imagination.  You are more reactive! Over these past few years, the external stressors and situational challenges have impacted your hormone health.  When your body is already experiencing internal uncertainty, the pandemic was especially difficult for peri-menopausal women. Full disclosure, this episode does not offer the magic solution; however, it does validate what has been going on in your body that may be contributing to the aggravation of peri-menopause symptoms. My first intention with this solo recording is to affirm the experience and allow you to bring an understanding and language to what you have been suffering with. This short and sweet episode is dedicated to all the peri-menopausal women impacted by the pandemic.  You are not alone! xo

    One year later, getting caught up with Amy Longard

    I was over the moon to connect with Amy Longard in this special Mother's Day edition one year later. During this interview, Amy shares how this year has changed her, the lessons she has learned, and the clarity she has gained in her role as a mother.   Amy's recognition of the value and importance of herself and all mothers is incredible.   She aims to shift societal norms and expectations for all people in a primary caregiver role or who identify as mothers.  She discusses how her self-care patterns have evolved and how she is able to prioritize what is essential to her health and let go of the things that no longer matter. Genuinely a heartwarming conversation that I know you will enjoy. **Giveaway Alert** listen in and follow us on socials to learn how you can enter for a $2200 Mother's Day giveaway package.  Contest closes May 7, 2022
