Eileen Laird: Healing Mindset
Eileen Laird of the Phoenix Helix website and podcast (2 million+ downloads) has a lot to say about mindset when it comes to healing. We talked about her new book, Healing Mindset: A Guide to the Mind-Body Connection for People with Autoimmune Disease. Some topics we covered: Grief, emotions, meditation and mindfulness, the myth the "mindset can cure everything", being in touch with your physical body, and much more. This was a beautiful conversation and so insightful, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Carrie Baquié: Empowered Advocate

Empath Mama: Advocating for your health and your children's health
Advocating for one's health can be exhausting, especially if you have chronic illness or autoimmune issues - and perhaps doubly so if you are a highly sensitive person or an empath! Heather Nardi (aka Empath Mama) and I discussed what it means to be highly sensitive, how important it is to speak up for your and your family's health at the doctor's office, and why listening to your intuition is so very important when it comes to your health and well-being.
Heather's book "The Sensitive Ones" can be found here.
Self-tests to see if you are highly sensitive can be found here.
You can find Heather at EmpathMama.com and on Instagram and Facebook.
Dr. Katy Peplin: Mindset
Endometriosis, chronic pain, a chance diagnosis, dealing with misleading medical information, grief, loss, being human while also being a scholar, the importance of meditation and breathwork, and cats. Yes, we talked about a lot in this conversation! Here are the resources Katy mentions at the end of the call:

Lauren Kim Angélil: Diabetes
Lauren is a registered physiotherapist and health coach and has helped many clients achieve remission from diabetes. During this conversation, we discussed what exactly diabetes is, tests to get to confirm or rule out diabetes, common myths and conceptions around this disease, and much more. Lauren also apparently has a penchant for puppies and "wild swimming", both of which I just had to ask her about!
