    07/02/2018 Duración: 59min

    A few months ago a couple of you requested that we bring a relationship coach/expert onto the podcast and after Georgia and I jumped into the research we discovered Susana Frioni. Immediately I know we had to have her on the show. Susana's journey has taken many unexpected turns and from this she's built Love, Sex, Desire, a podcast and coaching business that has helped thousands of women come to terms with their own sexuality and relationships.

  • Episode 46: Plant Medicine + How to Enhance Your Yoga Practice with Cannabis with Dee Dussault from Ganja Yoga

    24/01/2018 Duración: 49min

    This is a topic of conversation that has come up frequently in my friend groups lately, so I figured it was about time we discuss it on the show. I know there are a lot of opinions around cannabis use and all I ask is that you go into this episode with an open mind. So much research has come out in the last 20 years showing the benefits of cannabis use so we'll be focusing on those, but also some of the reasons cannabis-use has been stigmatized. As more and more countries and states legalize it, I truly believe education around cannabis will become increasingly important and my hope is that it can start for some of you on the podcast today. Besides Dee's knowledge around cannabis in the wellness scene, she is also an experienced yogi with over 20 years of teaching experience under her belt. She has a deep understanding of the human body and the importance of supporting it holistically. She's also super articulate and I truly feel she did the best job explaining ganja yoga for all to understand. Here are a few

    It is no secret that I adore Imperfect Produce. Besides the fact that they save me SO much money each month on my grocery bill, I love that I get access to fresh fruits and veggies, all while saving the planet. Yes...it is THAT amazing. It's one of those companies that seems so obvious in concept, you wonder why it didn't exist sooner. But more on that in the episode... I wanted to bring on a member of the Imperfect team to not only share all about IP's mission, but also talk about the huge issue that is food waste in this country. It's not as simple as those soggy carrots at the bottom of your produce drawer. It goes so much deeper than that. So today's episode is talking about the many points of intersection when it comes to food waste and how to manage it in this country.

    10/01/2018 Duración: 59min

    I'm so excited to welcome my friend and wellness guru, Beth Manos Brickey from Tasty Yummies to the show! It's hard to really describe how amazing Beth is, you kind of have to see it to believe it! She's one of those people who literally radiates to a point where you actually wonder if she's somehow figured out how to apply the beauty filter mask to herself at all times.And I can say this with confidence having met her last fall. But before we met, I was an avid follower of Beth's and have loved keeping up with her wellness journey as it evolves. She's a huge inspiration in this community and even though I don't make the same diet choices that she does, I love her overwhelming sentiment of self-love and compassion and her motto "eyes on your own plate". In today's episode we discuss a bunch of different topics including Beth's decision to go gluten-free over 12 years ago. How she continues to experiment with her diet as well as what she does to support her health beyond just what she eats. Here are a few othe

     I'm honored, grateful and SO excited to welcome Ella Mills from Deliciously Ella to the show! I thought Ella would be the perfect person to intro a new year of the podcast. Her balanced approach to health is what has amassed her millions of followers, successful cookbooks (I own all 3!) and many many other ventures including a product line and 3 restaurants! If this woman doesn't inspire you, I'm not sure who will! Besides how much Ella has inspired me, I thought she'd be a huge inspiration for you, especially as you set your intentions for this year!

  • Episode 42: From Orthorexia to Intuitive Eating, How To Stop Obsessing Over Your Health with Christy Harrison

    20/12/2017 Duración: 01h05min

    Welcome to the final podcast of 2017! I'm so excited to welcome Christy Harrison, an intuitive eating and anti-diet dietitian to the show today to chat about, well, anti-dieting and intuitive eating! It felt fitting to have Christy on the show during the holidays as I know many of you guys struggle with how to navigate them as you sort out your own health and eating journeys. It isn't easy with so many triggers and messaging telling you to work off that turkey dinner or set weight-loss goals for the new year. I feel you and I'm with you. Last year around this time I ended up unfollowing so many people because I couldn't handle all of the messaging making me feel inadequate being exactly where I am. So hopefully this episode helps to remind you that the holiday season is so much more than food and your body. Beyond being a perfect guest for this season, Christy has also been one of the most highly requested guests. She runs a very successful podcast herself so she's no stranger to this world. As a result this

  • Episode 41: Can You Really Talk to Your Animals? + High-Vibe Living + Law of Attraction with Ana Maria Vasquez of Intention Training

    13/12/2017 Duración: 01h03min

    I'll be honest, I was highly skeptical when I first started chatting with Ana Maria Vasquez from Intention Training. I was introduced to her at the yoga retreat I attended earlier this year and since then have followed her closely, while also keeping her teachings at a distance. A piece of me wanted to believe her, but the realist in me didn't. Today's podcast episode with her was enlightening...to say the least! Ana Maria is a self-described multi-sensory animal and nature intuitive. What does this mean? Through various types of sensory energy, she is able to communicate with plants and animals. Pretty cool, right? It gets cooler...Ana Maria also believes that all of us are capable of these abilities, it's just a matter of tapping into the right frequency. How does she do this? Well you'll have to listen to the episode... Beyond her ability to communicate with plants and animals, we discuss in-depth all about energy healing, why animals and nature are good for our health and what we can learn from our pets.

On today's episode we're exploring meditation, what it means to Ellie, the different types of meditation practices available and tips for new and experienced meditators to explore and deepen their practices. As someone who has a love-hate relationship with meditation, I'm happy to say that this episode inspired me to rekindle my practice more consistently, and I even signed up for my first meditation class! Since I know the new year is just around the corner, and lots of you are setting goals and resolutions, my hope with this episode is that it inspires you to develop a meditation practice or explore the possibility of it in 2018. Here's a breakdown of some of the stuff we talked about: Ellie's journey and how she got started on her spiritual path How she met her co-founder, Lodro and launched MNDFL The different types of meditation and how she recommends finding the one that wo

    22/11/2017 Duración: 50min

    Happy (almost) Thanksgiving! I thought today's episode would be perfect for those of you traveling today or are on your way to a family function to tune in and bring a little sunshine to your life. Because that's what Alison Wu is, pure, radiant sunshine.  But beyond that, she's also an incredibly talented food, prop, and wardrobe stylist who specializes in healthy recipe development and making smoothies look out of this world good...that taste great too! A lot of the episodes lately have been quite heavy or science-loaded, so I wanted a lighter episode that highlighted someone who brings positivity, creativity and art to the wellness space. Alison is one of those people who you just want to be friends with. And I not so secretly hope that bringing her on the podcast was the first step in becoming her friend! Alison is just a ray of sunshine who delivers helpful tips in such a relatable way. Today's episode is no exception. Here are some things we chatted about: Alison's journey and how she found herself as

    15/11/2017 Duración: 55min

    I love every single podcast episode I've recorded, but there are certain ones I never want to come to an end. Today's conversation with Dr. Will Cole was one of them.  I invited Dr. Cole on to chat all things functional medicine, but what I got was so much more. We jumped into topics like hormone health, adrenal fatigue, our microbiome and the importance of FAT, among many other things. It was an enlightening and inspiring conversation, that unfortunately only last one hour. I wish we could have chatted all day! Dr. Cole is an influential functional medicine doctor who has worked with many large publications so I'm thrilled he made the time to come onto the show. Here are some things we discussed: Dr. Cole's journey and how he decided to focus on functional medicine What is functional medicine and how does it differ from mainstream western medicine?

  • Episode 36: Body Positive Photography + Becoming Comfortable In Your Own Skin with Alexa Mazzarello

    08/11/2017 Duración: 52min

    A couple of years ago on a dark January day, I walked into a storefront on Kings Street in Toronto with little knowledge of how transformative the contents inside would be. It was called Body Thoughts and it was a traveling art show-experience focused on creating dialogue and expanding our knowledge of how we perceive our bodies. Run by two young women, each of whom had their own body image struggles and conversations to share, Body Thoughts ended up being one of my highlights of 2016 and an experience I haven't forgotten.  Fast-forward to today and one of the founders of Body Thoughts and the creative vision behind it, Alexa Mazzarello is on the podcast today to chat about that experience, her struggles with body image and how her perception of her body has changed since taking on photography full-time.  Alexa is an insanely talented photographer, body positive creative and a friend. It's been a year in the making bringing her on the show and I'm so happy to have her on board today! Here are some things we d

    01/11/2017 Duración: 01h09min

    WHEW! Coming up with a title for this episode was a real struggle. Why? Because on today's episode, I'm chatting with Lauren Geersten from Empowered Sustenance and Meo Energetics about everything! No really, everything. Lauren is a wealth of knowledge and since starting the podcast I have wanted to bring her on the show. I had an hour of her time and I really tried to make the most of it so we covered a lot of ground. From her struggles with ulcerative colitis, her healing journey, mental health and chronic illness, energy medicine, and what it means to be an "empath", we're talking about it all.  At 24 years old, Lauren's journey is nothing short of inspirational. She is currently writing a book and I am eagerly waiting for it to come out. In the meantime, I have today's episode to listen to on repeat. Here are just a few of the things we discussed: Lauren's journey and how she launched Empowered Sustenance Her struggles with ulcerative colitis and how she healed her body with food The healing archetype and

  • Episode 34: What Is a Quarter Life Crisis and Are You Having One? With Kali Rogers from Blush Life Coaching

    25/10/2017 Duración: 55min

    The dreaded quarter life crisis...have you ever had one? I most certainly did and I can assure you that this blog would never exist if I hadn't had one. Silver lining? In today's episode, we're welcoming Kali Rogers from Blush Life Coaching to talk about the quarter life crisis and how to navigate it if you feel like you're having one.  What I love about Kali is that she always keeps it real. This isn't some mumbo jumbo "go after your dreams" speech - it's real, effective strategies to navigate a very stressful period in your life. Usually these periods are just bumpy transitions, but it certainly helps to have someone holding your hand as you make your way to other side.  In this week's episode, we hear how Kali got started in the life coaching world and how to identify if you're having a quarter-life crisis. And even if you aren't, I think this episode will be helpful to anyone going through a transition phase. Because life certainly isn't stagnant so we all have that to relate to.  Here are just a few of t

    18/10/2017 Duración: 01h01min

    Welcome back to to Episode #33 of That's So Maven! After a 5 day trip to NYC, I'm so happy to be back home and continuing to interview some incredible humans making waves in the wellness community. Today's guest, Jessamyn Stanley is no exception.  From Jessamyn's bio: "Jessamyn Stanley is a yoga teacher, body positivity advocate, and writer based in Durham, North Carolina. Jessamyn uses high energy vinyasa flow as a way to move past mental and emotional barriers. Her classes provide a body positive approach to yoga which celebrates students' bodies and encourages them to ask 'How do I feel?' rather than 'How do I look?' when practicing yoga." This perfectly sums up Jessamyn and exactly the message she is advocating for. It was such a pleasure to talk with her and breakdown the prejudice that exists in the yoga community and beyond.  Here are just a few of the things we discussed:  Jessamyn's journey and how she discovered yoga Why she thinks there is a lack of body diversity in the yoga community Body image

    11/10/2017 Duración: 58min

    Thank you all so much for your kind words on last week's return of the podcast! It felt so nice to take a break and I'm feeling better than ever about the kick-off of this season. It certainly helps to have an epic lineup of guests, including this week's lady on the hot seat, Sahara Rose.  Now I'm not entirely sure how I feel about manifestation, but it seems to be that when I think and talk a lot about wanting to have a certain guest on the podcast, it comes to fruition. I'm kind of an Ayurveda geek, but I have so much more to learn. As a result, I knew I wanted to bring on an Ayurvedic expert to let me pick their brain on the show.  In this week's episode, we cover a lot of ground. But what I love most is how grounded Sahara is making her able to communicate what Ayurveda means within the context of our world. She's taking an ancient tradition and showing us how we can apply it to our everyday lives and that is something I can get down with.    Here are just a few of the things we discussed: Sahara's own h

    04/10/2017 Duración: 57min

    For those of you who have been following The Healthy Maven for awhile now, you know I am a HUGE fan of Barre3 and the company's founder, Sadie Lincoln. I love how Barre3 advocates for listening to your body and practicing intuitive movement -  a message that has really resonated with me as my relationship with exercise has evolved over the past several years. Sadie is someone I have admired both as a businesswomen and as a leading voice for intuitive living and body love, and I've been dying to have her on the show! Here's what we chatted about:  Her unconventional upbringing as a "hippie" kid How she fell into the fitness industry and discovered her love of group exercise The role of intuition in shaping her career path as an entrepreneur The importance of slowing down, and how this idea plays a role in both her professional and personal lives Sadie's toolbox of self-care practices Her thoughts on developing and modeling a healthy relationship with social media Using the power of education to maintain Barre
