WPR027: The Surprising Truth About Adrenal Fatigue with Jennifer Blossom
08/30/17 • 47 min
Episode Summary:
Today’s episode is close to my heart, because I went through my own experience with Adrenal Fatigue and it was ruining my life. I just thought I was tired and burned out, so I kept trying to come up with more ways to be productive, to get more done in less time. But it turns out that was just perpetuating my symptoms. I was exhausted. I was cranky. I kept landing in urgent care with what I thought was strep throat, and was about to have surgery even though my doctors didn’t have a real diagnosis for what I was experiencing. I also had trouble getting pregnant for nearly a year, which I also think was related to my own Adrenal Fatigue. I had no idea that’s what I was dealing with, and once I identified Adrenal Fatigue as the cause of my health issues, I was able to treat it and finally start feeling like myself again within a month.

She’s also expecting her own little bundle of love soon! Congratulations, Jennifer!

WPR026: Four Fundamental Shifts I Made that Changed My Life
Episode Summary:
There are a lot of things I’ve changed in my life to become happier and healthier over the years. Today I’m not going to cover surface stuff, like exercising and eating healthier or getting a better job or moving. All of those things have at times definitely improved my life at times, but today I want to talk more about the FUNDAMENTAL shifts I’ve made in the way I operate my life that have had a profound impact on my happiness. These are things that, once I made these changes, I became a different person. A more WHOLE person. A more CONTENT and peaceful person. I became a better version of myself through doing these things. When I’m having a rough day or even a stressful period of my life, it’s usually because I’ve stopped doing at least one of these 4 things.
I wanted to share these things because it took me decades and a LOT of heartache to finally learn to do these things. It took a lot of work to change habits that were causing me pain, and I wish someone had told me about these lessons earlier in my life... I think it would have saved me a lot of suffering. We sometimes have to take a long, winding road to learn deep lessons so I appreciate my own journey. But I’d still love to share this with you in case it’s helpful to you in some way right now.

WPR028: Five Steps to Finding Your Confidence as a Parent with Dr. Marie Renaud
Episode Summary:
Today we’re talking about building your confidence as a parent. If you’ve read my blog post entitled “The Hardest Thing About Being a Parent,” you’ll know that I had a very hard time adjusting to all of the new things you have to learn when you become a parent. As an overachiever in my life before kids, I was used to learning new skills and mastering them. To put it bluntly, I was used to being GOOD at things in my life. And one of the hardest things I had to do as a parent was realize that I was never going to be perfect at it. Our kids change all the time and it was really disorienting to have to adapt and adjust to every new developmental stage that my child went through, especially in those early days when he was changing so FAST. Our guest today offers some wonderful insights and 5 practical tips to build confidence, even when these little ones change the rules of the game on us.
Dr. Marie Renaud is a doctor in Clinical Psychology with 30 years of experience working in the public service in Scotland. She has particular expertise in the areas of relationships between parents and children and in fostering close relationships with babies. The focus of her work has been to collaborate with families and support them to develop and maintain the best relationships with their children. In 2011, she designed a specific program to raise awareness of the importance of the early years and the need to support parents’ well-being so that they can be truly present and available to their young children. Most recently she has been focusing on the development of her company: Mindful Evolution, and her program: "Life with New Baby" in which she shares her passion for the wonders of child development and her commitment to parents’ well-being.
