That might have been added to people’s religious or spiritual practices without knowing or further research being done, especially with the influence of social media and things becoming popular and influenced in our feeds. This episode is to encourage people to do their research instead of following blindly into a situation.

This week we are diving into daily Ayurvedic habits that you can introduce into your life and your routines that can help you live a more balanced or even more stimulating life. With Ayurveda and adapting or adding Ayurvedic habits into your life, you need to figure out which doshas are aligned with you. You will either be a Pitta, Kapha, or Vata. And of course the deeper you get into Ayurveda the more layers that pertain to this culture.

This week we are diving into the history of victory gardens. This subject came to me during the middle of COVID-19. I’ve had family and I have kept gardens before COVID-19, and it was interesting to see the burst of new people coming onto the gardening scene. Which had some perplexing similarities to the history of victory gardens in a disconnected way. So we are going back to the time of victory gardens, especially during World War I and II. You might just get the garden bug yourself.

This week we are diving into understanding Miscarriage. To start us on the right foot and to give a content warning, Miscarriage is much more common than people know or talk about. This is a heavy topic to navigate as there is much unnecessary taboo and shame placed on individuals. Especially when it happens much more than it is educated to individuals on, we will navigate an overview of what a miscarriage is, common symptoms, busting myths, risk factors, prevention, and more.
