  • Ep. 149 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Marty Makary, a healthcare advocate, surgeon, and New York Times best-selling author, to dissect the complex web of our current healthcare system and its impact on everyday health. Dr. Marty pulls back the curtain on major blind spots in healthcare, from women's health to food safety issues like food dyes and seed oils in baby formula. We dive into the powerful effects of chronic illness and lifestyle choices, discussing the influence of school lunch programs, hormone disruptors, and the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Marty also shares how cultural obedience within the healthcare system can delay necessary change and offers practical steps for optimizing family health, especially for children. This episode is an eye-opener on preventative care, the root causes of chronic issues, and the importance of community and purpose in maintaining overall well-being.

  • Ep. #141 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with the amazing Sami Spalter to chat about all things fitness, nutrition, friendships, and healing. We dig into our fitness journeys, the highs and lows of finding what works for our bodies, and the struggles of navigating trauma, coping mechanisms, and saying “yes” to life’s challenges. We also dive into the power of female friendships, how to build your support circle, and why it’s crucial to nurture your “front row” who cheer you on. From hitting rock bottom to lifting weights, we talk about finding confidence, feeling grounded, and embracing our unique paths. Plus, we get real about food choices, hormones, and why moving your body is a privilege worth celebrating!

  • Ep. #139 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I dive deep into the journey of financial freedom and wellness with our incredible guest, Shamina Taylor. We explore how fears around finances can hold us back and discuss the impact of childhood trauma on our relationship with money. We talk about the victim mentality versus taking accountability and how to overcome feelings of shame and guilt. Shamina shares practical tips on saving, breaking generational scarcity, and creating a wealthy mindset, as well as how to find your purpose and start small. We even dive into the fun (and slightly cheeky) topic of sugar daddies, how to embrace the art of receiving, and what it really means to redefine wellness when it comes to financial freedom and abundance.

  • Ep. # 137 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m joined by Nikki Novo. You might remember that I recently had a soul reading, and I found it so impactful so I had to bring Nikki on to talk to you all. We get really spiritual and talk about how to find your life purpose, tapping into your own intuition, and how to fully align to your higher self. Nikki talks more about “spirit babies” and some of the thoughts behind miscarriages, as well as breaking down how ancestry enters the equation and what it’s like to break away from your lineage. Lastly, we talk about how to know when you’ve found a soul mate and the various types of relationships you can have. Today is a good one, so let’s jump in!
