Together, they reveal their individual journeys into health and fitness, which has now spanned over two decades. The discussion moves into the realm of diets, from keto to paleo, and even touching on the often controversial topic of veganism. The Sissons share their personal experiences and views on these diets, highlighting the importance of sustainability and individuality when it comes to dietary choices. But we don't just stop at diets and workouts, we also venture into the sphere of endurance training, the benefits of quality wines, and foot health.Lastly, we delve into the world of entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the Sisson's latest venture, Peluva - a shoe company revolutionizing footwear for health and comfort. The Sissons explain how conventional shoes may not be the best choice for foot health and how they're seeking to change this with Peluva.

Ep. #50Imagine stepping into the shoes of someone who has faced life's darkest corners, battled addiction, confronted trauma and emerged on the other side, not just surviving, but shining with spiritual wisdom. Welcome to our space, and today, we have the privilege of having Gabby Bernstein (to speak about her book Happy Days), a spiritual teacher and author who embodies resilience and transformation, sharing her life's journey with us. She unveils her battle with addiction, her path to sobriety, and a traumatic childhood event that laid concealed for years, providing insight into how extreme behaviors, good or bad, can serve as shields protecting us from our internal struggles. Have you ever pondered how our past traumas, feelings of shame and relationship styles can affect our physical health? Together with Gabby, we delve into this fascinating territory, examining how these elements can manifest into physical issues, from digestive problems to brain fog. Gabby's insights reveal that our biologically designed shame responses, which are meant to tether us to safety, can lead to debilitating issues when suppressed. Moreover, we shed light on the enduring physical impact of trauma and stress the importance of embarking on the healing journey in a safe and timely manner.For Mari’s Instagram click here!For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram click here!For Gabby’s Instagram click here!For Gabby’s Podcast click here!For Gabby’s Coaching Membership click here!Gabrielle’s Books (to name a few): Happy Days The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith Super Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness Products Mentioned:Peter Lavine - Trauma ExpertThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
