Women’s Health Part I: Awareness and Advocacy
Dec 17, 202400:45:49Tap to summarizeFrom toxins in tampons, to the constant battles that those with endometriosis fight, it can be challenging to advocate for ourselves within systems and within a society that has not and does not prioritize women’s health. Yet, in spite of this, we always know that we can count on other women. The Women’s Health Coalition is an organization that is “advancing a movement to speak openly, learn, and engage, to address barriers, gaps, and biases in menstrual, reproductive, and sexual health.” We are lucky to have Carmen Wyton, chair and founder of the Women's Health Coalition to share why women’s stories are so integral to its advocacy work.

Transcribe →Wellness in Spite of...
Dec 3, 202400:40:52Tap to summarizeLooking after ourselves is often viewed as an add-on, a reward, or hope for the future. It’s rare that we tune into the information our bodies are giving us until we’re starving, exhausted, or sick. And simply forget about honouring your spirit or tuning into what your souls need until vacation! Nora Weston-Stuart has created an online space that focuses on holistic wellness for teachers, but much of what she explores is relevant to every person moving through the world.

Transcribe →Solo Fertility Journey
Nov 26, 202400:43:29Tap to summarizeMore and more women are finding themselves in doctor’s offices and fertility clinics trying to do the one thing they did everything to avoid in their teens and 20s: getting pregnant. Thankfully, many are sharing their stories of the wait times, the frustration, but also of the immense joy. And we’re so grateful to hear a story of one woman taking the fertility path on her own.

Transcribe →Architectures of Our Lives
Nov 19, 202401:40:42Tap to summarizeAs Millennials, we love to search for labels and systems to help us understand ourselves, but this can sometimes create a maze of lingo with no ‘aha’ in sight. We have our counselors and therapists on call, but find that we’re stuck in the same narratives and leave feeling frustrated. So what if we were able to integrate our tools and systems and feel more empowered in the process? We are joined by Jaime McClintock, life and purpose coach with Kindred Roots Therapy to understand more about human design and how it can give us the blueprint to build lives in which we thrive.

Transcribe →Hair Therapy
Oct 29, 202400:53:46Tap to summarizeWe would argue that our relationship with our hair stylist is just as important as our significant others - sorry guys. And although we haven’t been through couple’s counseling, we know there’s some shit we’ve got to work through. We’ve done enough personal growth and reflection to know that our generation’s co-dependence and habitual people-pleasing could get in the way of our best hair and we can’t go back to the trauma of box dye and highlight caps.

Transcribe →Us + Alcohol
Oct 22, 202400:26:49Tap to summarizeAlyssa and Megan take a trip down memory lane when it comes to their relationships to alcohol. Although a lot has changed, there’s still an ongoing internal and external dialogue about the role that substances have in their lives. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod
Transcribe →Millennial Momming
Oct 15, 202400:31:06Tap to summarizeWe are often in awe of the people in our lives who are mothers. It seems like so much has changed in the way that people are parenting, but one thing hasn’t, and it’s how much that it changes people’s lives. We asked our mom friends what they have space for and what they don’t. What can be flexible and what’s non-negotiable? We’re so grateful for their candor and their time.

Alyssa shares an epiphany she had this past summer about how good it felt to ask for help, and asks the question: "Why don't I do this more often?"
