SO👏🏾THRILLED👏🏾 TO👏🏾PRESENT👏🏾THIS👏🏾EPISODE!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Having the opportunity to present a round-table conversation on a wellness-related topic has been a dream of ours since we started recording episodes a couple of years ago.

For our (hopefully) first round table episode, we invited 3 previous podcast guests--our brother Junior and our dear friends/brothers Shon and Wylie--to join us for a conversation about resilience, an ability currently being heavily considered in multiple fields as necessary to withstand and thrive despite environmental pressures and circumstances that may be beyond individual control.

Did we enjoy our time? YES.
Did the conversation get real? YES.
Is the episode worth a listen? YES.

Are we open to ideas on what wellness related topic we should discuss during our next round table conversation? OH MY GOODNESS YES.

We invite you to listen in and share your thoughts!!
Be well!

We round out Mental Health Awareness Month with our friend Karina Solis, a licensed mental health counselor who offers her clients mental health support outside of the traditional clinical office setting.

For a conversation on the barriers to receiving mental health treatment, we really enjoyed ourselves--and we hope you enjoy the conversation too!

We are thankful for Karina's expertise and experience from her time as a therapist in Massachusetts and Florida--she provided helpful information on ways to move past the circumstances that can keep us from treating our mental health, so that we can experience life to the fullest.

We're excited to share this episode with you--you'll love Karina's view of therapy and the creative ways she connects to her clients!

We invite you to listen in and share your thoughts. Be well!

For our second episode this season, Nicole and Coach John sat down for a conversation with Pablo del Real, Chair and Chief Strategist of Soil & Soul, a powerful organization in Delray Beach, Florida with the mission of bringing mindfulness to the local community in creative ways, like Family Mindfulness Circles and Mindfulness Clubs in schools.

We are thrilled to present this episode to our audience, where listeners will gain a greater understanding of mindfulness as the supervision and training of attention.

The conversation in this episode will help emphasize the peace of mind that comes along with mindfulness, how mindfulness can be supportive through suffering, and the powerful influence of teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We fully enjoyed this conversation! It was encouraging to discuss the importance connecting to the inner self and to others in the community that practice mindfulness. Join us as we reflect on how mindfulness has personally eased access to own moral, ancestral, cultural, and spiritual resources.

Welcome Pablo and Soil & Soul to the Well Self Community! We invite everyone to join the conversation by listening in and sharing your thoughts with us!

Be Well!

Join our hosts Nicole and John as they announce a new season for the podcast and a new season in their personal and professional lives. The couple honestly reflect on how they have explored their own personal changes and expanded their wellness, how their changes have inspired their desire to inspire others to move toward their goals and chase their own dreams. As they consider the events of the last few years, John and Nicole celebrate the launching of Harmony Coaching and Wellness, their coaching practice where they encourage others to move positively through the transitions and development of life. Listen and be encouraged as they share their offerings and their hopes for this season!

Join this enthusiastic conversation on the benefits weight training with John, Nicole, and Doctor of Physical Therapy Amanda Yu, where they discuss the possibilities of getting stronger, healthier, and preventing injury through weight training!
Listen as Dr. Yu shares how her personal and professional observations have guided her philosophy, helping to create the passion she currently has in this area.
From clients looking to transition from injury and physical therapy and back to the gym, to those looking to increase skill, definition, or intensity with their workouts, Dr. Yu's guidance is cultivated by her own commitment to developing bodies, depending heavily not only on her training, but also personal losses and gains.
The conversation discusses myths that can cause resistance to weight training, as well as moving past misinformation from diet culture and social media. We hope this episode helps encourage our listeners to view movement and weight training from a different perspective!

Listeners get the opportunity to take in this interesting conversation between our hosts Nicole and Coach John and their guest Reverend Dr. Wylie Hughes, Pastor of Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, who is also a Reiki healer. The trio reflect on their individual spiritual upbringings and how they responded when their deeply held traditions were challenged. Considering their experiences, honest questions, and spiritual journeys, they openly compare the resistance they’ve each felt toward healing modalities outside of the traditional Christian experience. This meaningful, reflective conversation will encourage listeners to consider practices that could positively impact their wellness, and how practices are more connected across faiths and philosophies than we may be led to recognize. You’re welcome to join in on this powerful conversation with your likes, comments and shares!

Cecilia and Nicole have an honest conversation about the pros and cons of social media, a primary avenue people across the world use as a source for information, entertainment, and communication.

Our hosts honestly reflect on how social media has impacted their lives, the time consuming nature of social media, and learning to recognize the difference between social media relationships and relationships that develop through other avenues.

Listeners will appreciate their sincere discussion of authenticity and the importance of creating connections to people outside of social media platforms.

We encourage our audience to listen in as the pair reflect on social media’s influence on promoting positivity, motivational ideas, and knowledge of wellness related topics, while still contributing to mindsets that can negatively impact self esteem and behavior.

Join Nicole and producer John as they have a conversation with Junior Walker, owner of Reliable Debt Consultants, regarding the impact medical debt can have on our finances. This empathetic and personal conversation is meant to increase listener awareness surrounding this sensitive topic. The discussion centers on steps that can be taken to address medical bills, how individuals can negotiate medical bills in a way that considers household income, as well as an honest discussion of how vulnerability can play a part in debt negotiation. Financial wellness is always an important topic, and we are proud to bring this conversation to our listeners!
