Do not try to textbook copy someone else’s life because social media portrays a certain preview … do not try to copy the way someone is feeding or supporting their health, solely off of what one is choosing to share with the public.” This solo episode covers a variety of topics including: · The pros and cons of social media influencers · Our easily influenced society · Getting caught in wellness trends · The high-protein trend going around · Moving from a vegan diet to a meat-based diet · Vegan vs. Plant-Based · The healing properties of various whole foods from the earth · Healing protocols vs. dietary trends · A bio-individual viewpoint to health and wellness · Discerning your body’s individual needs and cues · Remaining open to change and evolution in a human experience “But in return of this movement, it’s pushed our society to get creative and really change up the conventional farming as it pertains to meat. Suddenly labels started shifting and a couple companies got creative in finding ways to get clean, healthy variations of meat out to more of the general public …” “I simply encourage you to give yourself permission to experiment with the various styles of food available to you and your unique body. Experiment, have fun, enjoy the process – it’s a privilege to be able to eat food, truly. And try to not label yourself. Try to not get caught up in fads, trends, and the lingering diet culture that still exists in our culture today, and remember to nourish yourself from the inside out at all times.” For more fun stuff follow the links below: Enjoy 20% off Energybits spirulina tablets with code: LYOS at Take $20 off your first Cymbiotika order over $150 at Enjoy quality protein from CrowdCow with $25 off your first order at - /episode/index/show/lovingyourownsoul/id/26918271

Fighting to Feel Good | A New Mom's Guide to Inner Peace Stepping into the role of the mother brought Britt to the depths of her soul, guiding her through a spiritual journey of self-discovery like none other. Becoming a mom came with so many blissful and lifelong, memory-making moments in correlation with other darker and sometimes scarier thought-induced moments of reality too. As Britt has learned along the way, this change can bring up our shadows and sides of ourselves we don’t always like to be confronted with. In today’s solo episode Britt openly shares about some of the not so pretty moments she encountered in her initial transition and what she did to bring herself back to more of her baseline, conscious self. It was important for Britt to share this piece of her journey so that other mom’s out there will feel less alone in their experience. For as Britt witnessed, the initial transition into motherhood can feel lonelier than one may realize. As always, the intention behind this conversation is to inspire and guide you along a mindful exploration to living a more fluid life through a deeper connection to the soul. “Stepping into motherhood and navigating the early postpartum waters of suddenly having another being directly dependent on me has been deeply beautiful AND equally challenging. I sit with both high stress and deep gratitude simultaneously, all of the time.” This solo episode covers a variety of topics including: · Mom rage and the associated guilt · Moving through a dysregulated nervous system · Lessons of motherhood and life transitions · A 3-step process to feeling good with yourself as a new mom · Reasons to disconnect from social media · Cultivating an impactful meditation practice · Seeking one-on-one therapeutic support “It’s okay for your journey to look different than that of others. It’s okay to normalize the not so shiny moments of this human experience. In fact, I encourage you to love and normalize all parts of you. And to always remember to celebrate how far you’ve come.” For more fun stuff follow the links below: Join me for a meditation or Pilates flow on Enjoy 20% off Energybits spirulina tablets with code: LYOS at Take $20 off your first Cymbiotika order over $150 at - /episode/index/show/lovingyourownsoul/id/26807508

A Lesson on The Variances of Your Body | Food + Pregnancy Edition 04/19/2023

A Lesson on The Variances of Your Body | Food + Pregnancy Edition Throughout Britt’s recent journey with growing and birthing a human into this world, she’s been shown the true power of the body and all that it is capable of. In today’s solo Britt shares her varying perspectives on physical health from food to cravings, body image, and nourishing the body with loving compassion. While she comes to this solo from mostly a pregnancy lens, however, she feels the information is still relevant to anyone’s wellness journey, pregnant or not. “Proper nutrition is a lifeline. And with nutrition also comes proper supplementation and ensuring you are feeding your individual body with the specific nutrients your individual body needs. What we consume is vital and becoming conscious of what we consume is so life giving. I’m going to specifically be referencing food today, but consumption also comes in the form of toxins, news, media, relationships, words, etc.” This solo episode covers a variety of topics including: · Observing the health of the female body · Pregnancy cravings, nutrition, and supplementation · Nutrition for overall female health · Intrinsic cravings vs. extrinsic wants · The role presence plays in connecting to your body · Listening to the body’s cues · A bio-individual viewpoint to health · Developing a loving relationship with your body “I feel the entirety of my experiences in this department provided such an important lesson on staying present enough to listen to the cues we are being given. I wasn’t eating much meat going into pregnancy, got pregnant and suddenly needed meat – would have killed for meat a couple times, literally. It was a primal urge, a signal from my body, not mental at all. Completely different. Cravings and our ways of eating often get so blurred as we try to understand what our bodies vs. our minds are communicating to us.” For more fun stuff follow the links below: Learn more about presence via Enjoy 20% off Energybits spirulina tablets with code: LYOS at Take $20 off your first Cymbiotika order over $150 at Enjoy quality protein from CrowdCow with $25 off your first order at - /episode/index/show/lovingyourownsoul/id/26525577

Birthing A New Chapter. Welcoming In the Here & Now. 04/14/2023

Birthing A New Chapter. Welcoming In the Here & Now. After a very intentional (and unintentional) sacred pause, Britt Olson is overjoyed to bring you the Loving Your Own Soul podcast once again. In today’s solo episode Britt provides a brief recap as to where she’s been the last 18 months, her learnings, and a very special creation she’s birthed into the world. “I believe we are all meant to fall head over heels in love with our life. I believe the gift of experiencing joy is not only our birthright, but the secret to total wellbeing, abundance, and vitality. I believe that your current life is made up of a series of choices and if you don’t like your current life, you just have to choose differently.” This solo episode covers a variety of topics including: · A practice on reflection · A reintroduction to Britt Olson and the Loving Your Own Soul podcast · The series of choices that brings us to our current reality · Showing up for ourselves with daily rituals · A reminder that it’s okay and necessary to pause · Transitioning into motherhood and a new location · A spiritual wellness retreat paired with 1st trimester nausea · Experiencing supreme beauty and challenge at the same time. “There’s never a timeline on a transition or what that phase will look like … so to spare yourself major anxiety and possible depression, if you are going through a transition right now yourself, don’t pressure yourself to move through it too quickly or for it to look a certain way. Allow it to be, to transpire as it should, and to remember that life doesn’t have to be so serious or planned out.” Journal prompts: Looking back to _______ moment of time: Who were you in that moment of time vs. who are you now? What were your future visions and do any of them match where you are now? Would you back then have ever guessed you’d be where you are right now in this very moment? What have you learned? What have you grown through? Can you count your blessings or compare your wins and losses?
