Warriors, these are unprecedented, scary times for sure.  We are all doing the best we can to stay safe and understand how our world is changing. Many Americans are have lost their jobs and are unsure when they will have an income again, it's scary.  In this episode, I sit down with Money Coach and founder of Greatest Worth, Nicole Rule.  She is a self-proclaimed recovering budget avoider and Target run addict.  She started her journey of helping others find joy in managing their money after she and her husband paid off over $100,000 in debt in just 26 months.  She wants to help others avoid going into debt, as well as create healthy budgets to live the life they want to live.   

She also has an amazing e-course available now, the Emergecy Budget Blueprint.  It is available on her website and is a "pay what feels good" course.  In this time of crisis, Nicole wants everyone to have access to the tools and strategies that she provides in the course, even if you can't pay for it right now.  It's all about paying it forward.

Hey Warriors-

While we are all stuck at home, that does not mean that we can't stay physically (and mentally) strong!  In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Wightman, fitness instructor, QVC On-Air Host, and an amazing mom.  Carrie tells us why she believes your mental transformation (aka mindset!) paves he way for your physical transformation.  We discuss how being home and not having access to the gym, yoga studio, or spin studio does not mean that we stop moving!   Now more than ever we need to keep our energy up and our bodies moving! Carrie helps us do just that! Take a listen now.

Hey Warriors- 

I hope you are staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented and crazy time.  We are all navigating unchartered waters, with worry and fear driving our thoughts each day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental wellness and daily practices to stay mentally strong. 

In this episode, mindful mommy Bizette Gailewicz, shares her health journey with us and how focusing on positivity and mindfulness helped her heal.  At 27 years-old she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. She then battled pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, cardiac and kidney failure, and years of major flare-ups of lupus.  Throughout her journey, she refused to accept the diagnosis she was given and was determined not to let it define her.  She reached out to holistic healers and used practices such as mindfulness and meditation to help guide her through her journey.  Today, she is healed and has dedicated her life to empowering children to help control big emotions so they grow into healthier and happier adults. She teaches meditation to children and has written a children’s book on meditation. She believes giving them the tools they need at a young age will help them to deal with the challenges that we all inevitably experience in life. I couldn’t argee more! Take a listen to this inspiring episode to hear how Bizettte healed herself by focusing on what she could control in her life, her mindset!

Hey Warriors-

I hope that everyone is staying healthy, safe, and sane as we all adhere to social distancing and do our best to support our local healthcare providers and all essential workers at this time.  They are truly our heroes, keeping business moving and leaving their homes so that we can have food, medicine, and all the essentials that we need. We are extremely grateful for you! 

This is a scary and devastating time for many business owners. Many of us live in a small town where the local businesses are the heart and soul of our town.  They are there for us, supporting our community, and brining us together through their food, services or entertainment.  In this weeks special episode of Suburban Warrior Podcast, I interview two small business owners from very different businesses.  Sean Coyle, owner of The Goat's Beard Restaurant in Manayunk and Wayne, PA and Maureen Doron, owner of SKIRT Fashion Boutique in Bryn Mawr & Philadelphia, PA and Stone Harbor, NJ.  Two very different businesses, both forced to reevaluate how they do business during a shut down.   These brave owners share their journey of how they had to instantly and consistently pivot their business model just to keep the lights on.  And not only are they thinking outside the box as to how they can still serve their customers, but they are giving back to the community as well, putting those less fortunate first and extending a hand to neighbors in need.  A true example of what it means to be a small business and support a community.  Take a listen!  My hope is that if you own a business of your own, this may help you to think differently as to how you can support your customer base and if you are a customer or a client, please consider supporting a small business if you can.  Now more than ever, they need us just as much as we've always needed them.

In this episode, I sit down with the amazingly talented Art Director, Alexis Kern, and she shares with us her warrior story and how she feels as if she now has a second chance at life! 

One day Alexis woke up and felt sick, like she had the flu. We have all been there, right?  Except after days of antibiotics, not only was she not getting better, she was getting worse!  A virus was attacking her heart and she had no idea.  Thank goodness for the quick thinking of her doctors, she is alive to tell her story today.  

Did you know that heart disease kills one in 4 women?  Signs and symptoms can range  from chest tightness and shortness of breath, to heartburn, to symptoms like Alexis experienced.  It's crucial that we know all the facts.

I am excited to welcome a returning guest to the podcast, Dr. Jenn Simmons. In this episode, Dr. Jenn shares her expertise and insights on breast cancer screening, treatment, and the revolutionary QT Imaging technology.

Dr. Jenn, originally a renowned breast surgeon, describes her transformative journey into functional medicine following her own health crisis. Her story is not only inspiring but a beacon of hope for many facing similar battles. 

We dive deep into the impact of unnecessary biopsies, over-treatment of benign conditions, and the emotional and financial burdens placed on women due to traditional breast cancer screening practices.

But the most exciting part is Dr. Jenn's announcement of opening multiple PerfeQTion Imaging Centers across the country featuring the innovative QT Imaging technology. Dr. Jenn also shares insights from her newly released book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," which has already become a bestseller on Amazon.

Be sure to visit Dr. Jenn's website, www.RealHealthMD.com to explore more resources and information about her mission to empower women in their breast cancer journey.

Hey there warriors!

You may think this is all woo-woo, but we all have an inner voice that sometimes we choose to block out...and sometimes we listen.  What if we all knew how to better communicate with that inner voice?

Michelle Young is an enlightened woman. Her gifts started presenting themselves in childhood and were always prevalent in her life. Recent events that impacted Michelle involved the death of a family friend. Michelle was aware of extenuating circumstances around this tragic event. As spirit would have it, Michelle found a wonderful mentor to help her understand her gifts and how to nurture and develop them. One mentor lead to another, and step by step, Michelle has been guided both with personal mentorship and spiritual mentorship with her pen.  She is a medium, a mom, a reiki practitioner and she channels messages from heaven.  

Michelle believes that we are all enlightened.  That each and every one of us has gifts and we can learn to tap into them, to listen to our inner voice/intuition.  Going deeper and learning how to tap into that place inside all of us all gives us the ability to develop, nurture, and thrive in all areas (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually) all the days of our lives.  Giving us the ability to show up as our most authentic selves.

Hey Warriors!

In this episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Board certified OBGYN and creator of The Galveston Diet tells us how she unlocked the secret to combating middle-age weight gain through her own life struggles.  When Dr. Haver was experiencing the weight gain associated with menopause she decided that the solutions available were unacceptable and she had to discover another, more effective way! The Galveston Diet has helped thousands of women who battle weight gain to due to menopause but certainly translates to anyone experiencing battles with their weight.  

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do. As her patient population aged, she was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn’t until she, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn’t work.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is the founder and creator of The Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition.  In an effort to learn as much as she could about medical nutrition, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019.

She has been married to her husband, Christopher Haver since 1996 and they are raising two teenage girls, the loves of their lives.

In this inspiring episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tara Marino, the visionary founder and CEO of Elegant Femme. Tara shared her profound journey of healing and discovery following the tragic loss of her newborn son, which led her to uncover her life's purpose: to help women reconnect with their feminine souls.

Tara introduced us to the concept of "Femme Types," a system she developed to aid her healing and personal growth. Each represents a different aspect of a woman's psyche and helps balance being, enjoying, and doing. Tara's approach emphasizes the importance of aligning these elements to achieve a harmonious and empowered life.

Tara's insights are a beacon for anyone looking to navigate their healing journey or simply striving to embrace their full potential. Her methods are not just about recovery but about thriving through intentional living and self-compassion.

Hey Suburban Warriors, welcome to another episode! Back by popular demand, I am speaking with Michelle Young, modern-day mystic, medium psychic, and a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. You can go back to episode 5 in season 1 to listen to my first conversation with Michelle.

She has been practicing as a holistic energy practitioner for over eight years. She is currently in the BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner Program with esteemed doctors who have dedicated their lives to creating new alternatives in healthcare. She is a Reiki Master/Teacher, certified in CFT, and she channels messages daily in the form of poems.

Her practice is not a conventional energy session. She uses all of her gifts, her connection to the mystic, her channeling, her education, and her sensitivity to energy to educate and coach her clients, encouraging them to chillax into the life of their dreams.

You can reach Michelle by going to her website www.LOVEONELOVE.com or find her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/michelle.young.lol.
