Amy Marcs, Sex and (Self) Love after a Double Mastectomy:
In 2009, Amy received a breast cancer diagnosis and intuitively knew that a double mastectomy was her best option—no easy decision for "a petite Jewish girl with great boobs." (No easy decision for anyone, ever). Marcs loved her breasts—her journey through the grieving process is heartbreaking, touching, inspiring and hilarious. It's a grieving process that many sick people can relate to as all of us lose a part of our identities we were once attached to. We get down to business in this episode, intimately discussing sex and (self) love after a double mastectomy. Today, on the other side, Amy (and her new boobs) tours her one woman show, "Nice Tits," and speaks out about the specific pains of breast cancer and double mastectomies. (http://nicetitstheshow.com )
Weekly Challenge:
"Take your broken heart and make it into art" -Carrie Fisher
I love this challenge, my friends! Amy wrote as a way to move through her experience so it's only fitting that her challenge to you is to find a creative expression on your journey. I did it, and it worked wonder. Check out how creativity helped me heal in this blog post on my photo 365 challenge. You can do anything: Paint, draw, garden, take photos, write, sing, pick up an instrument, color, act, dance, knit, sew, make pottery, and the list goes on. There's no shortage on creative outlets, AND you have the time (and energy)! Commit to ten minutes a day if you can and if you're bed bound like I was then pick something low-impact.

Nichole Proffitt, mindfulness coach for women, somatic experiencing practitioner
Mindfulness and Chronic Illness:
Nichole Proffitt ( http://www.presencemindfulness.com/ ) had been
seriously practicing meditation for years when her first fibromyalgia
symptoms developed, and (plot-twist) meditation was making it all worse.
This isn’t an episode about traditional meditation and using it to heal
from illness. It’s an episode about accepting what is, seeking out
your truth, surrendering to your truth, and then being willing to let
go… of everything. The closer Nichole got to her absolute truth
( whether that truth was that she couldn’t hang out with toxic people
anymore, or eat her favorite foods, or stay up past 10pm
even though she’s always been a night owl) and the more she surrendered
to them, the healthier and happier she has become. She said, “These
truths, as hard as they are to come by, and even harder to live by, are
what give me back my life… the years, relationships, friendships, jobs
and everything I have lost.” THIS is mindfulness and chronic illness.
Nichole’s Facebook
Weekly Challenge:
Ask yourself deeper questions and become open to your own deeper
answers. What a doozy, huh? This may seem totally overwhelming. Often,
it’s those deep—DEEP—answers that we are trying to avoid so that we can
hang on tightly to our own visions. But, this week, gently try to go
inward, listen just a little closer, and allow small parts of your truth
to emerge. Tune in to the episode to hear more about how to actually do
this. Follow me @sheajackie for weekly challenge updates and more
wellness fun.

Ashley Cantley, Feng Shui expert, manifester, mama bear
Feng Shui for Health:
Ashley Cantley was drawn to this ancient Chinese practice when faced with healing from a toxic relationship. Similarly, I only started putting attention on my living space when I was sick and doing some healing of my own. Most people who have a current #lifegoal of “heal from illness” are in bed, and, in that case, shouldn’t the bedroom feel like a sanctuary? I believe that my living space is a reflection of how I am in the world, and I committed to making my whole home a giant vision board: Everything in it should make me feel good! Essentially, how to feng shui for health. That being said, I knew very little about the actual art and science of Feng Shui, so I was pretty pumped to get Ashley on and talk about practical suggestions to use Feng Shui for health and healing. How is Feng Shui an extension of holistic health? And how does it enhance other self-care practices? How can we make small changes in our home to enhance our health? Listen in here!
Find Ashley for more Feng Shui tips on IG @fengshuiash and at her blog and website here.
Weekly Challenge:
This one can be a real game-changer! Clean and de-clutter the center
of your home or living space. The center of your home is where the
health and wellness energy resides. Of course it’s in the center, right?
It can be the most important piece of our lives. After a deep clean and
serious de-clutter, purchase a swarovski crystal here and hang it.
In the episode (around minute 20) we get into the deets behind WHY
this crystal is the jam! Follow me @sheajackie on IG for weekly

Twenty years ago, on a beautiful Monday afternoon in Portland, Oregon, Megan was violently attacked and sexually assaulted by a stranger. It was luck that saved her life, but the emotional wounds carried on for years to follow. In this episode, Megan bravely shares her story and the tools she used to navigate this random act of violence. Today, in her big, full life, she is free from the power he had over her, and she has come to a place of total forgiveness.

Steamy Chick
Vaginal Steaming 101:
How many of you are shaking your heads in amusement? How many of you are doing that but also VERY curious? And how many of you are just like, this sounds weird but I am excited! After so many years dealing with periods that are so heavy I'm left chronically anemic, I had an entirely open mind when I first heard about vaginal steaming. Five months ago, a friend responded to a Facebook post I had written (Ladies! Any and all advice to slow the flow??) emphatically suggesting vaginal steaming. That was only five months ago, but the idea of steaming my uterus piqued my interest so much that I have been following around Steamy Chick on social media, reading her blogs, and steaming at home myself since. I'm so pumped that Keli Garza, founder of Steamy Chick, came on the show and now I get to share this gem with all of you!
This episode is your vaginal steaming 101 course. We discuss its ancient origin (this is not some new trend, you guys), exactly how, when, and why to steam—steaming has been shown to help with everything from infertility to missing periods to blood clots. Plus, it literally feels like a sauna for your uterus. Those of you who are following along with my period series, this episode is part II. I am still in my trial period with vaginal steaming and will have a lot more to say about it in the coming months, but, for now, ENJOY this vaginal steaming 101 course.
Weekly Challenge:
Steamy Chick challenges us to steam at home this week! You don't need to buy anything, you can steam using things you already have: A pot, some tea, salt, and water. I just finished steaming five days in a row as per Keli's suggestion, and I'm meant to wait until the end of my period to steam for three more days (find out why in this episode!). So, my steam may or may not be lining up with the weekly challenge, but I WILL be waiting to hear from all of you on this! Dear naysayers, what have you got to lose? NOTHING. Unless your pregnant then PLEASE do not do this because you absolutely have something to lose.

Cindy Kennedy
In this Lyme disease podcast episode, I interview Cindy Kennedy ( www.pursuewellness.us ). Cindy is a Nurse Practitioner who worked in women’s health for over 20 years. She practiced gynecology and has cared for thousands of patients.
Unbeknownst to her, she contracted Lyme disease. She never saw a tick, or a bullseye rash. Her symptoms were subtle at first, and then in 2011 her disease struck with vengeance. Even as a knowledgeable health care professional, the struggles to find a cause became overwhelming. In general, she discovered that health care professionals are not adequately trained to recognize and treat Lyme disease and its co-infections. She came to feel the same sinking feeling that other Lyme sufferers must bear; the endless walk down the frightening path of misdiagnosis, shattered hope, and disappointment. Resources for learning were not very credible.
As her health improved she became passionate about providing education and guidance for those seeking information about Lyme disease, health and healing. All this has led to the development of her popular Lyme disease podcast series, Living With Lyme (www.livingwithlyme.us ) and her private practice, Pursue Wellness.
Discussed in this Episode:

You are powerful, my love. Go get 'em.

Weekly Challenge:
Kristen's preventative double mastectomy opened her up to exploring a new and kinder attitude toward herself. So, this week she challenged us: Upon awakening, find and list five things you are doing well. In this culture of "not enough," we often lose sight of acknowledging ourselves for all of our growth, all of our effort, all of our step-up-to-the-plate moments—big or small. If I pause right now and think of five things, here's what I get: I showed up on time to my commitments today, I returned all of my emails, I gave a friend a hug, I paid for everything I bought today with money I have, (not on credit), I ate healthy food today, I have spread kindness and love. Simple stuff! Wouldn't it be awesome to start our days like this instead of the usual, "I didn't get enough sleep, and I don't have enough time in this day and I suck." HA! can't wait to see what happens as you make this part of your routine. Follow me and watch my journey on instagram @sheajackie
