On this weeks podcast join me, Nicole Sjostedt, as I chat to my Personal Trainer, Published Wellness Expert, Actor and Friend Nik Andrews. We jump into all sorts of health and wellness life lessons from Nik's MMA background to his now personal training and nutrition businesses. We talk about his journey into his acting career, the highs, the lows and jumping off, leaving the marketing arena and focusing on his life long pursuit in film. His unwavering, persistence and staggering will has shown time and time again this man isn't going anywhere but the direction he's headed towards. Push him down, step in his way, try to out run this guy.. he'll pivot and come back swinging "bloody nose and all"! He builds me up every week and so I share the love back with you. It's a great listen with some even greater laughs- Enjoy!

THIS is an episode you won't want to miss. Join me, Nicole Sjostedt, as I chat with my dear friend, my pilates instructor and cheerleader extraordinaire Travis Cheney. We dive into all sorts of great topics such as growing up in a small town, the trials and tribulations of school, the dynamics of friends, moving on and grabbing independence in the BIG city- YVR. Bullying, taking charge of your own narrative, being an advocate for your own belief systems, health and wellness including exercise, dieting and motivation. Being authentically yourself, knowing your worth and really just living your BEST life to the best of your abilities- no apologies! PS let's not forget Britney Spears... just saying, in Travis's own words "She's an icon!"

Join me Nicole Sjostedt and special guest Marlayna Pincott as we dive deep into a conversation about our personal experiences of being women of mixed race.
Adoption playing a huge role in both of our paths detaching both of us from our culture and knowledge of our ancestral lineage. We talk about growing up feeling, as some would say, "other" and walk you through our different journeys from childhood experiences straight through to adulthood. We talk about finding out our heritages through DNA testing and from there starting to connect the dots piece by piece. We chat about the affects of feeling overlooked, misunderstood, denied and silenced by family, friends and society. We walk you through some pretty eye-opening experiences we endured as children being shuffled into the "other category". We also open up about overcoming fear of stepping into our identity and reconnecting with our cultures
* Trigger warning as we respect that this could bring up some challenging mixed emotions for people that are at a different stage of their acceptance and healing around some of these topics.

In this week's episode, we discuss how to find balance by embracing both our masculine and feminine energy. We all have masculine and feminine energy within us and through our life experiences, we can develop one more than the other. Where masculine energy is more action-based, analytical and of the mind; feminine energy is more centered within the body, feeling-based and intuitive. It's normal to possess both and for most, it takes time to uncover what you need to lean into. With this awareness and framework, we look to see our imbalances and discuss ways to adjust the volume controls.

Things we’re exploring:

• Can we value intellect and intuition more equally?
• Nicole working on embracing masculine energy to become stronger and more confident
• Christina learning to tune more into the feminine
• Shifting the patriarchy to matriarchy

Times have changed. Our society and culture have evolved and yet marriage has essentially stayed the same. Kind of crazy, when you think about it. We want and expect choices in every other area of our lives, so why not in love relationships? Let’s get creative and find more ways of doing modern love that work for modern times.

We swipe right on some of these ideas:

• Married but not living together
• Weekends and wednesdays
• Platonic Life Partners
• Situationships
• Polyamory
