14 FEB 2022 · Negative social media posts. Frightening headlines. Workplace challenges. These are all things that Pamela Gail Johnson, the founder of the Society of Happy People, would label “Happiness Zappers,” and they are a fact of life.

11 FEB 2022 · The dreaded question moms hear every day, "What's for dinner?" Who knew that a big part of adulting was figuring out what to have for dinner every night? Linda Lederman has the secret to a Balaboosta's success. Wait...a what? A Balaboosta is a mom who, after a crazy, demanding day, has no need or time for Martha Stewart’s precision or perfection. Without adhering to rigid rules, she knows how to whip up quick and delicious meals her family actually wants to eat (having conquered the” what’s for dinner demons” once and for all) and then serves it up with side dishes of family fun and clever conversation (yes, enjoying your kids at dinner…really!). Sound exhausting? Impossible? It’s not…if you know the secrets.

10 FEB 2022 · We have a sixth sense. Some call it our "gut instinct". Others call it intuition.  Candice Smiley calls it, "the niggle". Whatever you call it, that feeling is almost never wrong.  When you listen to your inner self, and trust her, you learn to live from a place of truth. 

9 FEB 2022 · Let's talk about why it's time to drop out of diet culture. It can seem like a radical act to choose to love and nurture your body just as it is, but it's the best way to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.

8 FEB 2022 · When it comes to our pelvic function (bowel, bladder, menses, sex), we are taught the bare minimum, with a healthy dose of shame and fear. At the same time, childbearing is both revered (are you really a woman if you don't have kids?) and feared (cue every Hollywood scene of a red-faced screaming mom and dopey dad just trying his best). As a pelvic PT, Annie Hopkins sees how little education, support, and empowerment there is in the perinatal period, and all the focus and care is for baby, not the beautiful birthgiver. She provides education about our pelvic anatomy and function (she meets people who think pee comes from the vagina), how the pelvic floor works during birth + how to help it recover postpartum, "common but not normal" conditions postpartum people are told are just a part of motherhood (leaking pee, painful sex, abdominal separation, prolapse, etc) and how to heal them, how societal norms are harmful to mothers (Pinterest-perfect, bounce back culture, etc), and so much more!

7 FEB 2022 · Obesity robs us of identity and authenticity. We eat to express and suppress emotion instead of to satisfy physical hunger. Food is not joy, culture, entertainment, an activity, fun, family, friends. It is nutrition. Nourishment. Period. When you habitually (whether it's consciously, unconsciously, subconsciously) eat for reasons other than hunger, like Michelle Petties did for 40 years, you end up in bondage to food enslaved in a body and life that does not serve your truest intention, serve your purpose or speak to the deepest desires of your heart. After four decades of gaining and losing 700 plus pounds, Michelle finally discovered the “secret” to ending the battle between her mind, body and hunger.

3 FEB 2022 · Are you a slave to food, your weight or appearance?  Perhaps you worry about every calorie that enters your mouth or give yourself a hard time for having no will power. Have you spent years trying every new fad diet? Perhaps you’re unable to break free from the endless cycle of yo- yo dieting, binge eating or constantly overeating. Maybe you numb your emotions with food - feeling more of a failure every time that happens. Would you try anything at any cost to shrink your body size? Perhaps you have been driven out of desperation to lose weight, to try diet, after diet, after diet. If you feel this way, you are certainly not alone. But how would you feel if you learned that the action you are taking now, might actually be causing you to gain weight in the long term? Marcelle Rose is on a mission to help women make peace with their body and heal their relationship with food so they can live their fullest life. She is going to help us to dismantle the diet mindset and begin the process of breaking free from dieting, binge eating or emotional eating. Fix your complicated relationship with food and say goodbye to yo-yo dieting and digestive distress.

2 FEB 2022 · Despite what media will tell you, light bladder leakage is NOT ‘just part of being a woman’. Incontinence, chronic back pain, and organ prolapse are common challenges for women, but they are not something you need to live with or accept as normal. It all has to do with your pelvic floor. Your pelvic floor is the foundation of your core and is fundamental to SO MANY ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE. You have most likely never been told that the pelvic floor is responsible for your continence. Or that the pelvic floor plays a role in pelvic and spinal control and stability. What about how the pelvic floor plays a role in your sexual response? Did you know the pelvic floor is responsible for supporting your internal organs (bladder, uterus and rectum)? It's time for pelvic health to be discussed and offered to all vagina owners! It's time to break through taboos and redefine how we think about women’s health ...and just to be clear... Light Bladder Leakage is NOT 'just part of being a woman'. You CAN overcome challenges like incontinence and organ prolapse and regain a sense of control and confidence in your life.  Kim Vopni, Your Vagina Coach, is here to dispel the myths and misinformation around incontinence and so much more. 

1 FEB 2022 · Michelle Hoglan was diagnosed with breast cancer September 12, 2016. Like most women who have been diagnosed Michelle will never forget that phone call...“you have breast cancer”....it was a sucker punch to the gut! Michelle is the type of person who likes to plan and have things run smoothly, and this put her in a whole new place full of chaos. Once it sunk in and she was able to meet with her doctors, Michelle decided that if she was going to get through this, she needed support and a sense of humor. Wanting to keep her friends and family updated with her progress she created a private Facebook Group called The Boob Report! This is where that sense of humor kicked in! But when Michelle saw that other women in the group were getting their mammograms and sharing their experiences, her husband said that she needed to turn this into something that provides info for women going through this journey! There is a ton of information out there but when you receive a life altering diagnosis you need all the help and support you can get. The Boob Report is a safe place to get information, share your story and connect with other women who are going through their journey. Whether you are going the traditional treatment route or have decided on a more natural homeopathic route, there will be information for everyone!
