Episode 127: How To Be A Conscious Parent with Nina Cruz
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Parenting is hard and we have talked recently about helping our teens through challenges, supporting our LGBTQIA+ youth and teens, as well as parenting highly sensitive children. Today we are going to dig into a parenting approach called Conscious Parenting.
Nina Cruz is a certified Conscious Parent Coach, Social Worker (BSW), and Meditation Teacher who’s made it her mission to support parents through shifting archaic parental paradigms, many of which contribute to increased stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and feelings of disconnection for themselves, their partners, and their children.
Nina's approach to coaching revolves around trauma-informed care that puts others at-ease, providing a safe space for everyone to facilitate their individual healing and growth.

Episode 125: How to Parent Through Trauma with Stephanie Duesing
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
This week we are back into the parenting sphere. We have Stephanie Duesing joining us, a mother who is also a former music teacher and now an author as well. She is going to tell us a unique story about her son and his experience with visual impairment and their journey to find answers. I think there will be much that we can learn from this story as parents and as people.
She not only parented through this challenging time but also wrote a book about the experience called “Eyeless Mind: A Memoir About Seeing and Being Seen” which was a finalist in the Chicago Writers Association Book of the Year Contest in 2020.

Marriage or partnership with another human is one of our biggest relationships in life. It can be a source of vitality in our lives, and it can change and also be a huge challenge in our life. Sometimes, for various reasons, we get out of sync with our partner and can even lead into discussions on divorce and separation. This is challenging because our marriage or partnership is a key cornerstone of our whole life.
I am happy to dig more into these important relationships with Wendy Capewell. Wendy has over 15 years of experience in working with couples as a Psychotherapist and Relationship Counsellor
Today we are going to hear her thoughts on relationships and more information on how to make it work and when to move on.

Episode 117: How to Love Food & Fitness (in that order!) with Sam Gwaz
Tuesday May 31, 2022
Tuesday May 31, 2022
This week I am so excited to interview someone that I have been loving on Instagram for quite some time now. As I have been through my own journey of body acceptance, trying to find a balance between working out for the right reasons, and then eating in a healthful way, that doesn’t focus on my body size, body fat percentage or how my muscles pop in photos, I stumbled across Sam.
Sam Gwaz is a Virtual Coach with a B.S. Nutrition and M.S. in Kinesiology & Sports Nutrition. She has been putting great vibes out into the world and on Instagram in particular where she shows her tough workouts, how she hits her protein goals, but also how she actually eats foods that she loves and enjoys life. This week we pick her brain about her approach since this is really where I aspire to be!
