Episode 069 - 13 Going on 39....What Did You Wish For?

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast, it's 13 Going On 30 (okay 39 over here! ) Grab your Razzles and dust on your metallic eye shadow as I throw back to the year 1995 when I turned 13. I'm reflecting on what I wished for as I now become the parent of a teenager. (Cassidy turns 13 on February 15!) What the what?! My 13th birthday was my first party that I invited boys, the first feelings of flutters in my heart at the idea that someone I like might like me back, the fun and laughter that came with hanging out with my best girlfriends (some of which I still have the pleasure of being friends with today!) Life is moving at warp speed, even amidst the world still being shut down. Where do you need to find more fun? What did you wish for when you were 13 that still holds a place of longing in your heart? Tune in on Monday to remind yourself of all the things that are good in your life so that you can actually recognize it as life passes us by.

It is Shaklee’s goal to empower people to take responsibility as much as possible for their own health. She recognizes that our healthcare system is bursting at the seams. It is our goal to be an instrument of change, working at the grass roots level to move our ailing “healthcare” system from “sick care” to well care” Tune in as we chat all about my 30 Day Prove It Challenge, what I learned and how I’m feeling now as well as our honest discussion on some really uncomfortable and awkward experiences I’ve had with friends who have tried to sell me stuff and how not all Direct Sales companies are the same.

Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast is a proud member of the The Saskatchewan Podcast Network which is supported by the MINISTRY OF HIGHWAYS. You know me and Winter is not my favorite season, but I’m so grateful for our highway workers who operate our snow plows to keep our highways as safe as they can be, despite our awful winter weather. Did you know that Snow Plows pull over every 10-15 kms for you to pass safely. This means, that even if you are as impatient as I can, you know that you giving the snow plow some space in order to pass safely, can keep everyone safe on the roads. When passing, treat snow plows the same way you would an emergency vehicle. If a plow is pulled over and has lights flashing, slow to 60 and pass with caution. Always check the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline before travelling.

Take your time, be patient and safe. Visit saskatchewan.ca/snowzone for more information.

Episode 056 - Getting Through What's Holding You Back with Julia Kristina

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast we are going deep and chatting with my therapist & coach Julia Kristina. You know me….I’m always up for an honest and real conversation and this one is extra special. Julia believes that we need to stop shying away from looking at and talking about the deep things that make us tick as human beings, and doing so doesn’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable. From the moment Julia Kristina learned that there was such thing as a job where one could help another human being grow, heal and make changes that would transform their lives, and thus the lives of generations to come, she knew she had to do whatever it took to become a therapist. Julia is a world class therapist, teacher and speaker who has a natural ability to connect with both individuals and groups because of how she is able to bring deep conversations to the surface, and bring clarity to the complex things that make us perfectly imperfect beings. Tune in for our honest and real conversation all about getting unstuck and figuring out what’s holding you back, so tune in!

Episode 055 - Embracing Your Nutrition Intuition with Melanie Samuels

Melanie is a holistic nutritionist and wellness enthusiast based in Los Angeles, CA. I had the pleasure of meeting Melanie on the set of Fuller House back in 2016 when we were their on Cassidy’s Wish Trip. Her and I instantly connected and have now re-connected as she moved out of Television Production in the last few years and is now the owner of Choose Well with Mel. This company grew out of Melanie’s fascination for health, nutrition, and living a confident life. Using a bio-individual and sustainable approach, Melanie helps clients improve their health by ditching the diet and embracing their intuition around food. This includes developing realistic habits and a deep understanding of the importance of choosing the right foods for your body. Melanie pivoted her career to Nutrition after years of working in Television Production where she first met a few of her current clients, including Jodie Sweetin from Fuller House. In addition to her 1:1 work, she has developed nutrition courses and mini-trainings. Melanie is also the co-founder of Mel and Mel Co., a wellness and lifestyle brand she started with her business partner, client, and dear friend, Melissa Coulier. They are currently in development of their first wellness book, as well as other lifestyle products. Outside of work, she loves being a wife, cooking and creating healthy recipes in her kitchen, moving her body, spending time with friends, being creative, and watching guilty pleasure reality TV. You are going to love Mel’s approach to lifestyle, living well and nutrition, so tune in!
