I love chatting with interesting people about being well. It's one of my favourite things and one of the reasons why this podcast exists! Today I got to have a conversation alllllll about relaxation and sound healing, two things I feel we could all use a little (lot) more of! I chatted with Craig Goldberg, a Relaxation Expert and Technologist on a quest to help humanity achieve a deeper sense of inner calmness through the use of sound and vibration technology.

This conversation is SO IMPORTANT, especially if you're a woman. I LOVE chatting with empowered women about empowering topics like hormones, stress, blood sugar imbalances, burnout, hustle culture and autoimmune disorders. "But Marie," you may be thinking, "those don't feel like very empowered topics." Au contraire, mon ami.

It's one thing to be mindful of who you are being and how you are acting when you're around other people. We do this naturally - usually from a place of self consciousness and often, insecurity.  But, that's not what I'm interested in. Anybody can put on a mask for other people. The real question is: who are you being when NO ONE is watching? Who are you being when no one is there to congratulate you, validate you, like or comment on your "stuff"? Who is the person you are cultivating...

This conversation is so timely + supportive. It's a big ole' exhale that many people need. "It's the fastest way to calm yourself down." - Kelly It isn't often that I meet other humans who have read most of the same books I have and deliver mindfulness and meditation teaching in the same way as I do. In fact, up until recently I hadn't met anyone like this. Until Kelly Ryan came into my life, that is. The conversation that followed was POWERFUL. Kelly Ryan went from a chronically ill,...

I was chatting with a friend about food sensitivities, something I have struggled with for many, many years. And she asked me, "Marie, how do you navigate your food sensitivities around other peoples' cooking? How do you embrace living in a sensitive body?" This conversation is inspired by that question. And what came up and out because of it is an important discussion on self worth and what it looks like to feel worthy of feeling good in the first place. Feeling good is your...

Supplementation is an incredible way to support your overall well-being in conjunction with a balanced lifestyle. But not all supplements are created the same. I agree wholeheartedly with Max Marion, my guest on the podcast today, who believes "it should be done properly." This conversation is an incredible reminder that you are 100% responsible for you and when you take charge of your health, you naturally improve your quality of life. I've been using and loving Aqua Omega's algae-based...

This conversation is so timely. Sensuality, sexuality, pleasure, connecting with your body in meaningful ways - these are all very real, important, day to day experiences and yet, often 'swept-under-the-rug-because-we're-scared-of-judgement' topics. I truly feel that we are living in an age where the 'Divine Feminine" energy is rising and leading. And I am here for it! Feminine energy is nurturing, open, receptive, creative, loving and powerful.

After a summer sabbatical, I'm baaaaack, baby! Today's conversation is all about the lessons in abundance I discovered while picking raspberries with my family later this summer.

Erin Claire Jones...

What happens when the "honeymoon phase" of your new determination to create new habits wanes off... You know, the 2 week mark after you've begun a new workout program, or a new way of eating, or a journal habit, etc. etc. etc. First thing's first: Our brains are literally designed to keep things consistent. And our old habits have been running deep grooves for a long time, for many of us, our entire lives. So, how do we create and cultivate new habits that serve us and let go of the ones...

Do you practice rituals? Of course you do. You may just not recognize them by that name. Rituals are the daily practices we engage in for ourselves to find comfort and healing.

It's easy to forget just how far you've come. But the craziest thing is, more often than not, we are living lives that we only once dreamed of. Today's quick chat is my response to a lovely woman on IG who told me I was "so much more committed" than she is. It felt important to record my thoughts on this one. Did it help?

Every once in awhile, an email will come across my inbox that makes me stop and then makes me smile in deep appreciation. The way Judy Machado connected with me was just like that. I opened my email inbox to find the most genuine, thoughtful, loving message from this total stranger about how impactful my podcast is and how beautiful my mission of empowering women is. I was immediately drawn to this woman's kindness and then, when we got to dive into her zone of genius: sacred cacao, I was...
