19. You Are Your Own Superhero, You Have The Power To Heal With Kerry Umphrey
Season 1 · Episode 19
Tuesday, May 17, 2022 • Duration 01:13:11
Is it possible to eat the most nutritious food in the world and still not be healthy?
It’s not just food itself, it’s the state of our bodies. If our bodies aren’t able to receive, food is no longer medicine and we aren’t able to heal.
Listen to today’s episode with Kerry Umphrey to see what you can do to make sure your body is in the proper state to fully receive nutrients.
Your body and mind have the power to heal, all you have to do is give it what it requires.
With her degree in Psychology and Developmental Training, Kerry Umphrey has been working with people for over 30 years beginning with children and teens in Play Therapy and later Business & Life Coaching for Women of all ages - all the while battling severe health challenges for which Traditional Medicine offered little help. Currently, as an Independent Health Care Practitioner, she is a Motivational Wellness Speaker, Life Coach, and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach with specialized functional medicine training. She specializes in Digestive Wellness, Motherhood Wellness, and Childhood Wellness. A few years ago, she went from 95lbs and bedridden to rock climbing with her son. Kerry hopes that everyone remembers that whether you are coping with change or choosing to make a change, you are brave for continuing to try.
DM Kerry on her Instagram page @simplehumansgirl if you are interested in receiving free support in reducing anxiety, stress, and/or digestive issues. She is completing training and is looking for 8 volunteers to complete the 1:1 Practicuum Sessions and possibly a few small group sessions. Volunteers may participate in both 1:1 and group sessions, or just one or the other. Let her know you are an interested AWWH listener.
If you follow me on social media, you know that season 1 of the podcast is winding down to an end. There is only 1 more episode left of the season! But don’t worry, I’ll be back in the fall with more amazing episodes to help guide you on your healing journey.

17. Food Is Medicine-Creating More Ease In The Kitchen With Susie Miles
Season 1 · Episode 17
Tuesday, May 3, 2022 • Duration 47:42
Before you dive into this episode, I just want to warn you, that you may become hungry while listening to this episode with our guest, Susie Miles.
Since food is medicine, I asked Susie to come on the show to give us ideas and pointers for navigating the kitchen.
We have so much stress in our lives, adding one more thing, like cooking to our to-do list can increase our stress levels and that is the last thing we need because stress is what helped us get sick in the first place.
The intention of this episode is to alleviate this stress and give you ideas to make your experience in the kitchen less overwhelming and so delicious!
If you are new at cooking, we highly recommend starting with simple meals until you get the hang of it.
Susie Miles lives in Northern Virginia with her husband & two children. She is the host of the 'Cooking and Convos’ podcast.
Susie has also written a children’s book (published in 2021) ‘My Friend, the Light’. The book is available online at Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes and Noble. She’s in the process of writing her 2nd book in the ‘My Friend’ series.
Susie has been so gracious to offer her kitchen tool list and her recipe for turkey sausage pasta with peppers & onions to us.
**Note: If you are on an anti-inflammatory diet or meatless diet, you will need to find alternatives for certain ingredients in Susie’s recipe. For example, use gluten-free pasta or spaghetti squash as an alternative to regular pasta.
When it comes to eating for enjoyment and to nourish your body, it is all about getting creative and finding alternative ingredients that support your mind, body, & soul.

Do you feel like life is a constant struggle for you?
Do you find yourself putting yourself last?
Do you push through your pain and fatigue?
Or do you get creative and find ways to give yourself what you need & also take care of your responsibilities and stay true to your promises?
For this week‘s episode, this is exactly what I had to do. I had to get creative and allow myself the grace to show up as my authentic self in the moment.
I’m on a healing journey just like all of you. I want to be an example for you all, to show you what it means to fully take care of yourself & to love yourself so that you can heal.
In this episode, I get honest with you & model for you the real process that is needed when it comes to healing.
We all tend to make things harder than what it has to be.
This habit of ours leads to unnecessary stress that can lead to chronic illness.
How about we break this bad habit that has gotten us sick in the first place and do the opposite?
Let’s make things as easy as possible by allowing things to be as they should (this means surrendering, trusting & believing in yourself & that you will always be taken care of, & receiving flow & ease into your life) & allow your inner guidance to lead you.
Your inner guidance will never steer you in the wrong direction even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment.
There will be many times during the healing process when you need to listen to your body and slow down. It’s important to do this.
This is what I needed to do this week.
This whole healing journey is about learning who you are & what you need, so you can properly support yourself to get back to homeostasis where the healing happens.
It’s about filling up your cup so you can fully show up in this world as your best self where everyone receives the best parts of you.

Marcia Lee decided enough was enough and she was going to make changes in her life to start feeling better no matter what.

There are no excuses that could ever measure up to keep you from living a great life in your body.

She is starting her podcast, My Season, Your Reason to help people who have been struggling with their physical and mental health, especially in communities of color.
Marcia’s Tips to Live A Healthy Lifestyle On A Budget:
Tip #1: Look into free exercise classes–your parks and recreations department is a good place to start
Tip #2: Utilize the things around you for exercise–for example, go for a walk in nature, workout with videos on YouTube, or use equipment you have in your house and other household items and workout in your home
Tip #3: If you qualify, you can go to your local food pantry/distribution and get free healthy food items
Tip #4: Shop around for discounted groceries
Tip #5: Cook your meals at home–eating out gets expensive on your wallet and your medical bills
Tip #6: If you need healthy recipe ideas to cook at home, you can find free, easy, delicious recipes online
Tip #7: Keep healthy snacks with you while out and about to prevent you from slipping up and eating convenience food

11. Feeling Empowered in Your Body With Dr. Sara Vogel
Season 1 · Episode 11
Tuesday, March 22, 2022 • Duration 01:00:01
Learning to feel safe in your body through sexuality, trauma, & motherhood.
In today’s episode, I have a deep and vulnerable conversation with Dr. Sara Vogel. I’d like to warn you in advance, the topics we talk about and some of the language in this episode may not be suitable for children. These topics may be hard to listen to because they often are not discussed every day, because we like to hide them away in the darkest corners of our minds, because they make us feel shameful.
But the opposite is what should actually be done, due to the fact that we experience them every day and holding onto the feelings that accompany these experiences are negatively affecting our mental and physical health. Studies and data show trauma can trigger autoimmune diseases.
Fully coming into ourselves, embodying and loving who we are, including our sexuality is an area we must address if we are to heal completely and become vibrant.
Dr. Sara Vogel is a dynamic, trauma-informed educator, who is focused on creating a world where women understand their potential, value, power, and worth.
She spent the past five years working with survivors of sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking. Dr. Vogel is now democratizing her education and research, by bringing her teaching outside of the university walls and into the world.
She is the host ofLadybits and Leadership, a fun, sassy, and female-powered podcast that focuses on helping women unlearn shame and find power in their bodies, sexuality, sensuality, and motherhood. She also coaches clients one-on-one to help them have and build lives filled with power, pleasure, and joy, and loves hosting educational presentations on finding joy, the importance of the female orgasm, and women finding their value, worth, and power.
