Stand Up And Shine

Sometimes we are lucky and blessed to meet people who are truly gifted and talented.  Especially when they use their gifts and talents to help serve others.  I had the pleasure of meeting such a wonderful soul.  I first met Brenda Bell under the artistic name Badia Star in a belly dancing class as my teacher.  I must say that I have never met any other teacher match her talent and skill.  On this episode Brenda shares her story on how she got on the path of health and wellness.  She will share with us some tools she uses to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  She lives and breathes wellness and practices what she preaches.  She is a healer, a teacher, and an artist.  I consider her to be a true Health and Wellness Renaissance Woman.  We need more people like her in this world.  She shines her light everywhere she goes and inspires others to do the same.  Brenda also owns and operates Brenda Bell Wellness and offers services such as Reiki, yoga, belly dance and much more.  Brenda Bell can be found at http://www.bre

In today's world we are under so much stress and pressure to succeed.  We work hard and sometimes we work so hard we forget ourselves to our own deteriment, our health suffers and we don't do anyone any favours by burning ourselves out.  I had the honour to interview Sylwia Domanski, an inspiring and amazing woman.  She is a modern day woman, who's a mom, a wife and entrepreneur.  She wears many hats in her daily life and is able to maintain a balance and inner peace.  She shares her story with us, how she was able to overcome her own health issues and find her balance and inner peace and works daily at maintaining a balanced lifestyle.  

  There comes a time in ones life when going through the motions isn't enough.  You look around and aren't fullfilled and don't know what to do, except to do the same thing that has lead up to this point.  You feel stuck in a midlife crisis and trying to figure out how to get out of the midlife crisis.  Joel Ingram is an inspiring person who did just that.  He had a midlife crisis and decided to work toward his transforamtion.  He is a husband, father and son who is not only trying to improve his life but that of his family.  He is aspiring to create a life of adventure and eperieinces.  Ultimately, he hopes to leave the world better for having been in it.Joel Ingram can be found on:website:  https://themidlifecrisisman.com/Facebook at Midlife Crisis Man  https://www.facebook.com/TheMidlifeCrisisMan/ For iPhone users: iTunes Podcast: Midlife Crisis Manhttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-midlife-crisis-man/id1368546484?mt=2For Android users: Shout Engine: Midlif Crisis Manhttp://shoutengine.com/TheMidlifeC

Life can be busy and sometimes chaotic, that we can forget to breathe.  Join me as I interview an amazing and inspiring woman Juliane Husner from "Breathwork Project" podcast.  She is a breathwork coach and has witnessed first hand how the breath can change you from the inside out.  The first things we do when we enter this world is to breathe.  Breathing is the very thing that keeps us alive and yet many of us take it for granted and many don't truly know how to breathe and perhaps how to live life.  Lets take a moment and remember to breathe with Juliane Husner.  

Having a chat with my lovely sister Stella.  Growing up my little sister was the petite one and I was the big one.  As we have grown and matured, we both have our struggle with weight.  We talk about family, food and farm families. From greens to our grandmother, listen in on how we weigh in on our weight issues.
