Podcast: EP 114 The First Wealth is Health with Rachel Scheer

Podcast: EP 114 The First Wealth is Health with Rachel Scheer

by | Sep 12, 2023 | Podcast, Self Care

Without our health, it’s hard to focus on anything else.

 

I met today’s guest at a good friend’s event, and it has been a joy to get to know her since. She appears like a super success from the outside, but when you hear her authentic story, you’ll understand what it’s taken for her to create her current life and business.

Rachel Scheer is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics and became certified in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. Rachel’s journey as a nutritionist began in bodybuilding and athletic performance, however, a couple years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS.) After many false diagnoses, spending thousands of dollars on doctor visits and tests, and one doctor even suggesting the removal of her entire large intestine, Rachel decided to take her health into her own hands.

 

Rachel says “using a functional approach and focusing on the health of the gut microbiome saved [her] life. All disease begins and ends in the gut, so rather than putting a ‘band-aid’ over an issue I.e. medications/drugs/surgery, we need to get to the root cause and that’s what functional medicine comes in. My gut issues came from a bacteria imbalance or gut dysbiosis, and once I was able to address that through diet, stress, supplements, and lifestyle changes I was able to heal my body, avoid surgery, and come off dozens of medications I was put on over the years.”

 
In this episode, Rachel shares how she learned to create a growth mindset, heal her body, grow an aligned business, and become the leader she is today.

“I’m going to be the one who’s going to have to fight for myself if I want to truly heal.”

    Podcast: EP 110 Thriving Relationships with Kathryn Gordon

    Podcast: EP 110 Thriving Relationships with Kathryn Gordon

    by | Jun 13, 2023 | Podcast, Self Care

    Would you like your relationships to be better?

     

    I met today’s guest earlier this year at two events and I love her wisdom and real talk about relationships. She is a podcaster and an author, but she’s also a real woman who is here to help if you want your relationships to be better.

    Kathryn Gordon is a wife, a mother, businesswoman, real estate investor, movie producer, best-selling author of Relationship Grit and host of the Kathryn for Real podcast.  Her story is woven with the imperfections, struggles and joys of motherhood and marriage.
     
    Her book, Relationship GRIT, was inspired through conversations at the grocery store in the produce department where friends would share how they were struggling in their marriage. She realized that many couples, no matter how long they were married, needed guidance in building strong, lasting communication and connection in their relationships. She started her podcast “Kathryn for Real” because she calls it like she sees it and loves giving real relationship advice as well as tips to get better in all facets of life.
     
    In this episode, Kathryn shares time-tested wisdom she has learned about making relationships better, helping your partner and yourself thrive, and how to stay together and be happy.

    “It doesn’t matter where you’re at in your relationship, it can always get better.”

      Podcast: EP 108 God Has Your Back

      by | Jun 2, 2023 | Podcast, Self Care

      Let’s talk about god.

       

      I felt prompted to record a different kind of episode on the show this week, so I’m honoring it. I’m talking about God and spirituality and intimacy with spirit and how much you are loved by the Divine. I hope this message serves you no matter where you are at with these things, because I know it can.

      In this episode, I share a personal story that reminded me in a powerful way that there is a God, they have my back, and we can believe that good things are coming.

      “True spiritual teachers turn you back into yourself, meaning come back home to yourself.”

      Podcast: EP 105 Coaching Conversations: Real talk on activating abundance, your worth, and permission for more

      by | May 11, 2023 | Podcast, Self Care

      I did something special to celebrate 100 episodes on the podcast — this is part 2.

       

      A few weeks ago, I hosted an evening event called Coaching and Charcuterie — and that’s just what it was. I gathered with about 20 podcast listeners at my producer’s studio and we recorded a live Q&A style podcast episode where I coached guests in the hot seat about whatever they had questions on. It was so fun and I am already looking forward to the next time.

      In this episode, you’ll hear me coach guests on how to live in and think in abundance as well as a juicy question about aligning your public persona with who you really are. We talked for almost 2 hours, so I broke this special recording into two episodes – be sure to catch the first part in EP 104! And if you want to know about the next time I host this event, be sure to get on my email list and follow me on social media.

      by | Mar 27, 2023 | Podcast, Self Care

      I love this woman’s vivacious energy.

       

      You know when you meet someone and immediately feel a connection with their spirit and energy? That’s what happened when I met Erica, and I invited her as a guest on the show for a couple of reasons. She hosts an awesome podcast that I love listening to and she has a powerful story about learning to love herself and live authentically that I think will really inspire you.

      Erica Lippy is a Los Angeles Native, Life + Wellness Coach, renowned fit model, and the creator of Passion Love Pursuit; an intentional movement that encourages you to become your best self—living a vibrant life more passionately and purposefully. Her 16 years of expertise and vast knowledge in design, fit, and technical detail has made Erica one of the most sought after fit models (not to be mistaken for a fitness model) in Los Angeles. Having reached success in being known for her body and curves, she knows she has a much bigger purpose to serve.

      As the host for Passion Love Pursuit podcast, Erica’s intention is to bring on guests that inspire us to become our best self, so that we might step into life more confidently, and live more passionately, and purposefully. Erica continues to strive to improve her mental and physical well-being. She shares her story openly and vulnerably, hoping that it may inspire others to find strength in their weakness, and love themselves just as they are so that they too, may flourish in life.

      In this episode, Erica shares the stories of learning to love herself after years spent in unhealthy romantic relationships, how life coaching impacted her in huge ways, and her best tips for living authentically in today’s world.

      “You cannot intervene in a world you cannot see.”
