Yaglin Medina, The Food Conscious Coach, talks to us about her journey into become more conscious about her health choices which started with the realization that her breast implants were making her extremely sick. According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020 over 36,000 women elected to get their breast implants removed in a procedure known as an "explant" and Yaglin was one of them. She talks about how realizing that something she chose to put in her body was "killing her slowly" and that led to her learning about healing from within.
This conversation is inspiring to say the least and I hope every listener leaves with at least one piece of valuable information to implement into their daily lives.

Episode 23: Is there any area in your life right now where you feel stuck? In survival mode? Like you are just living day by day trying to survive? I hear ya because that was me 10 years ago. Being 23 was a very hard year for me, but I turned 33 last month and I am blown away when I reflect back to my life 10 years ago and how far I have come. I always knew that the life I was living wasn't how life was meant to be lived. And although I know I am constantly growing every day I am so grateful for how far I have come.
A prequel to this episode: Dream Chasers and Change Makers Episode 8
P.s. This episode being number 23 and being about how far I have come since I was 23 was a big coincidence! I love when that happens ;)

Episode 17: Crunchy mom! Silky mom! Velcro mom! Almond Mom!
From the second we get that positive pregnancy test until forever we are constantly making choices for our child(ren) and those choices we make sometimes put us into boxes! From being a silky mom who prefers modern medicine and whatever clothes is cutest and cheapest, to crunchy moms who bond through extended breastfeeding and bed sharing, to working moms who have their child in daycare no one warned us that just like in Mean Girls motherhood also comes with secret groups you sometimes don't even know you belong to!
In this episode we discuss what it means to just want the best for our kids whether we are a scrungy mom or a dolphin mom.

Our kids are going to love us no matter what and we need to embrace that!
