Spring may be blooming, but so are allergies. In this episode, we unpack why seasonal allergies are more common and more intense than ever, reframing them as a sign of an overwhelmed immune system rather than a standalone condition. We explore the root causes behind allergies, from gut and microbiome health to inflammation, stress, and environmental toxins, while sharing natural ways to support symptoms in the short term as healing happens long term. If you’re tired of just masking symptoms and want to understand why your body is reacting, this episode offers a refreshing, root-cause approach.

Ep 37: How to Manage Seasonal Allergies Before Allergy Season Starts

We often think about pelvic floor health during pregnancy or after having a baby,  focusing on tightening things up, preventing leaks, or recovering from everything our bodies can go through postpartum.

But pelvic floor health matters just as much during perimenopause.

In this episode, we’re joined by Sarah Symmes, a registered physiotherapist and founder of Centred Physiotherapy [https://centredphysiotherapy.com/], to help us understand what’s really going on during perimenopause and how to optimize our pelvic floor health.  We discuss common  symptoms like leakage, pelvic pain, painful sex — and dig into other symptoms you may not have even related to pelvic floor health!

We also talk honestly about how pelvic floor conversations often centre on motherhood, and why this care is just as important for those who haven’t had children. Whether you’re already experiencing symptoms or want to be proactive before they start, this episode is packed with clarity, reassurance, and expert insight.

Ep 36: Pelvic Floor Health in Perimenopause: Key Symptoms, Hormonal Changes & Optimization — with Sarah Symmes

What happens when you start changing your diet and lifestyle, and your partner isn’t on board? Inspired by a listener question, this episode explores the challenges many women face in their 30s and 40s when health becomes non-negotiable, especially during perimenopause. We talk about feeling judged for prioritizing food quality, supplements, rest, movement, and long-term health, and how to navigate differences in values without creating conflict or resentment. This conversation is about honoring your health, staying grounded in your choices, and learning how to ask for support, even when your partner isn’t on the same page.

Ep 35:  What If Your Partner Isn’t On  Board With Your Health Changes?

Strong social connections aren’t just good for your heart and happiness, they’re linked to your lifespan, brain health, and overall wellbeing. Science shows that having a supportive community lowers risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia, while boosting your immune system.

In this episode, we explore why community matters, how it shifts across life stages, and practical ways to find and nurture your people—even when it feels hard. With Valentine’s and Galentine’s around the corner, there’s no better time to invest in the power of connection.

Ep 34:  Friendship is Medicine - Why Community Matters When It Comes To Health and Longevity 

This is Part 2 of our conversation on vegan diets. In Part 1, we explored why vegan doesn’t automatically mean healthy. In this episode, we go deeper into how to make a vegan diet truly supportive for your body.

We break down the essential pillars of a healthy vegan diet (whole foods, adequate protein, mineral-rich plants, healthy fats, and variety) and explain why many people struggle when these foundations are missing. We also discuss common pitfalls like ultra-processed vegan foods, low protein intake, and trend-driven eating, and why vegan labels don’t guarantee hormone support, gut health, or blood sugar balance.

This episode is about education, flexibility, and learning how to nourish yourself in a way that supports your hormones, nervous system, and long-term health, whether you’re fully vegan or simply eating more plant-based.

Ep 33:  Part 2 - Building a Healthy Vegan Diet: What Your Body Really Needs

Veganuary isn’t about perfection, it’s about curiosity. In this episode, we break down what Veganuary actually is, why it can be powerful for health, and where people often go wrong. From the real benefits of increasing plant diversity (better gut health, reduced inflammation, improved food awareness) to the dangers of ultra-processed “vegan” convenience foods, we unpack the difference between vegan, plant-based, and truly nourishing. As Registered Holistic Nutritionists, we share how a vegan approach can be healing, or damaging, depending on how it’s done, and why vegan doesn’t automatically mean healthy. This episode sets the foundation for eating more plants in a supportive, intentional way, without labels, trends, or health washing.

Ep 32:  Vegan Doesn’t Mean Healthy - How Veganuary Can Support, or Sabotage, Your Health

Dry January isn’t about restriction — it’s about awareness. In this episode, we explore what Dry January really is, why taking a break from alcohol can be powerful for your health, and how even a short pause can help you better understand your relationship with drinking. We talk about the physical effects of alcohol, social pressure, hormones, gut health, and how to approach a reset in a way that feels supportive and intentional for YOU.

Ep 31: Dry January

In this episode, we unpack a major piece we realized we’d overlooked: fear. Beneath most excuses isn’t laziness or lack of discipline—it’s fear quietly calling the shots. We explore how fear shows up as “reasonable” excuses, keeping us stuck in our comfort zones and disconnected from the lives we want. From fear of failure and being seen to fear of success, change, and the unknown, we break down how fear operates—and how to move with it instead of waiting for it to disappear.

Journal Prompts:

 * What is fear costing me?
 * What does staying comfortable cost long term?
 * Who do I become if I keep choosing safety over growth?
 * Have I ever said I really want to do that/wish I could but I could never?  WHY?

Ep 30:  Is Fear The Real Reason For Your Excuses?

In this episode, we explore responsibility and accountability not from shame or harsh self-judgment, but from ownership and personal power. While circumstances are real, they aren’t the driver of our lives, WE are. Our results come from our choices, and when we stop making excuses, we reclaim our ability to change.

This conversation applies to every area of life: health, habits, finances, relationships, and time. Responsibility and accountability  is freedom, because when it’s on you, it’s also changeable by you.

Journal prompts:

 * Where am I not taking responsibility in my life right now?
 * What excuses do I use most often?
 * What am I blaming that actually belongs to me?
 * What would change if I stopped negotiating with myself?

Ep:  29 How Life Changes When We Stop Making Excuses

Every January, we’re surrounded by pressure to “start over,” overhaul our lives, and commit to big New Year’s resolutions. In this episode, we’re not rebelling against New Year’s goals,  we’re reframing them. We talk about setting goals that are realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your real life, and why growth doesn’t require becoming someone new.
