In this raw and insightful episode, I sit down with the incredible Elisa Kurylowicz, former elite athlete, mindset coach, and host of the Elisa Unfiltered Podcast, to talk about the wound of feminine sisterhood—the ways in which women struggle to build, maintain, and repair deep, meaningful friendships. We unpack the hidden layers of competition vs. collaboration, the subconscious wounds many women carry from childhood, and how they manifest in adulthood—whether through betrayal, exclusion, or self-sabotage. Elisa shares her own experiences of deep sisterhood breakups,...

Into my life walks Corrie Bignell, The Unregistered Nurse / Certified Self Sabotage Coach - with a workshop all about self sabotage. I was a co-facilitator at a retreat where I had the privilege of hearing all Corrie's work and wisdom. Corrie joins me today to talk ALL about the topic of self sabotage. You are going to want to listen to this. If you asked me two weeks ago if I self sabotage myself I would've said no.

This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be. Eight weeks ago I started to practice again after a four year break. In this time I have known that many of us are struggling in our wholeness. The stress (in all its forms), unprocessed emotions and trauma have left many humans managing ... versus thriving. Simply put, I'm sharing my thoughts and views on what's happening in the world right now and how you can move into a greater...

In this episode, I share my experience of moving to Costa Rica from Canada. For some this is a much anticipated podcast episode. I talk about the reason why we moved -- including concerns about Canada's "pandemic" response and governmental control. I talk about the trucker / freedom rally and how it influenced our decision. In a way we never saw coming. I cover how and why we chose Costa Rica and the area we are in - including our many challenges along the way. Also, the residency and visa process, access to healthcare, nutritious food and...

Noteable Quotes:
"On The Origins of Homeopathic Medicine: 'Homeopathic medicine is fascinating because it's considered energy medicine because it has no molecular value left of the crude substance it is made from.'"— Jen Bishop
On The Importance of Listening to Your Body: "The body only has one way to communicate with us, and that is through symptoms."— Jen Bishop
On Homeopathy vs. Western Medicine: "With homeopathy, you really are bringing a new energy to the body and a new, healthier, more balanced energy to the body."— Jen Bishop
On The Balance of Healing: "I really, truly believe that we are already healed. We have what we need within ourselves. But really, what if healing is more about balance than anything else?"— Jen Bishop
On The Energy of Anxiety: "I feel like it's something that's happening in the world energetically, where there's a lot of fight or flight energy, which I've experienced in my life and done a lot of work on, and it's coming to the surface for a lot of people at the moment."— Jen Bishop
On The Power of Homeopathy in Healing Mental Health: "So homeopathy is a beautiful thing, and it's capable of a lot of stuff, especially in mental health and especially with mental emotional symptoms. But it is, again, just a piece of the puzzle to support you in your well being."— Jen Bishop
On The Beauty of Homeopathy: "But this is the beauty of what I know about homeopathy is that gap, that space, that opening that it creates for you is an opening for you to walk through. And without that tap on the shoulder and that opening, it's sometimes difficult to find that space to walk."— Laura Foster
On The Healing Process: "Often times our symptoms, aka signals, are actually healing signals... so much of what goes on in the body is actually signs of healing already occurring."— Laura Foster
On The Power of a Holistic Approach: "The humans in my practice who had a holistic full body approach to how they support their body always got better. Often got better, faster or more completely because everything was working together."— Laura Foster
