Intentionally Well

Send Vanessa a Text MessageJoin me as I sit down with international model, actress, and philanthropist Joy Corrigan, to candidly talk about her journey with Breast Implant Illness and how this experience has led her down a path towards self-discovery and deeper healing. This special episode highlights the very real issues concerning Breast Implant Illness, and how impactful the effects of implants can be on the body. Joy does a beautiful job of sharing her story, illustrating the road leading up to her decision to explant, and the emotional turbulence she experienced prior to surgery. We chat about the behind-the-scenes reality of what was physically going on for years and how her body's cues crept in little by little.This amazing conversation not only reveals the destructive nature of BII, but also calls attention to a much deeper message...as we dive into the importance of mental and emotional health, self-reflection, healing trauma, and more.Joy gives us a very raw take on how the modeling industry and it's expectations can take a massive toll on body image/self worth, and that we've all been sold a false bill of goods as to what true beauty really entails.Joy has discovered that she's been divinely called to share her journey and use her platform to help others potentially connect the dots in their own lives...while also bringing imperative awareness to the fact that authentic healing is much more than a physical venture. She shares that trial and struggle are a very real part of life despite career choices, success, status, or fame...and that it's ultimately OUR job to take agency over our health and life.You'll undoubtedly be touched by this conversation, as you're met with Joy's honesty and genuine determination to help others today and in the days ahead.Please don't forget to share this episode with someone you believe will benefit from listening, and if you feel called to share your thoughts with either Joy or myself, please don't hesitate...we'd love to hear from you.Joy Corrigan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joycorrigan/Joy Corrigan on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joycorriganShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree (Discounts etc.): https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comHelp Abused and Homeless AnimalsCUDDLY helps give animals a healthy life & a loving home.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageIn this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Patient Advocates Amanda Porta and Robyn Towt to have a much needed and detailed discussion about Breast Implant Illness.Both with remarkable stories and a passion for education, Amanda and Robynare on a prominent mission to spread truth among women across the world, in efforts to highlight the very real and COMMON happenings associated with breast implants.Amanda has worked in and throughout the beauty/plastic surgery industry for decades, and was ultimately inspired to pursue Holistic Health coaching. Now laser focused on guiding women with BII towards healing and optimal health, she has dedicated her life to redirecting the public’s view on what health and beauty really entails. As someone who never saw critical or chronic health issues prior to implants, she’s determined to use her voice and expose the darker sides of beauty procedures and the industry’s dirty secrets.Robyn—now three-time cancer survivor—became co-founder of the Global Patient Advocacy Coalition (GPAC) and is also an administrator in various online support groups for women who are suffering from BII. She’s worked extensively with Arizona legislators in passing an informed consent law for breast implant surgery, and the GPAC team has also partnered with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to develop a patient decision checklist.With both of these women having experienced BII and explant surgeries, they know firsthand how real and truly life-altering these decisions can be. They believe every patient should be given the opportunity to make an educated and informed choice, and that means having ALL of the information, not just selected information.Amanda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theholisticbeautycoach/Amanda's Lymph Website: https://www.lymphlounge.comRobyn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robyntowt/Robyn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robyn.towt.7GPAC Website:  https://www.gpacunited.org/Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree (Discounts etc.): https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comHelp Abused and Homeless AnimalsCUDDLY helps give animals a healthy life & a loving home.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageWelcome to what feels like the first episode of the INTENTIONALLY UNPREPARED Series! My current thought is to sprinkle these "couch conversations" in from time to time...as they definitely reflect a different feel than all of the other episodes here on Intentionally Well.The following is a candid chat (versus an interview) with Homeopathic Doctor, Sarah Trask...about our faith in God and healing. Life's trials and tribulations can often be very hard to bear, and we find ourselves depleted and defeated, wondering if we will ever see change. In our human quest for control and power, these trials hit our lives FOR us, despite our pain, sorrow, grief, or discomfort. The "growing pains" we face are usually great and purposeful gifts, and pave the way for both our surrendering and our salvation.In this unconventional episode, Sarah and I bring what would be a typical phone conversation of ours to the podcast mic. It is an extremely raw, imperfect, organic episode with no prep and all heart.Sarah Trask's Website: https://www.sarahtrask.com/Sarah Trask on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahtraskhomeopath/Devotional book mention: https://a.co/d/h4gV32AShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree (Discounts etc.): https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comHelp Abused and Homeless AnimalsCUDDLY helps give animals a healthy life & a loving home.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageHere I have the truest honor of sitting down with Dr. David Evans (DVM), a classically trained veterinarian who then converted over to homeopathic medicine after a unique experience with his own personal health.This discussion is dynamic, info-packed, and full of compassion, as Dr. David Evans educates on how the holistic system of homeopathy works by eliminating the underlying imbalance in an pet/animal's body, therefore eliminating unwanted or uncomfortable symptoms and rising their overall vitality.We chat about homeopathy vs. conventional vet medicine, pet susceptibilities and genetics, vaccinations, pet grief, pet loss, acute/chronic care, diets, skin concerns, flea/tick care, and so much more.Dr. David Evans wholeheartedly believes that prevention is the key for our beloved animals, and that all pet parents/owners should be aware of their options so they can make informed decisions when caring for their pet's health.Please see below for resources available to you for further information and research!Note: If you'd like to support abused/neglected animals in need, please also check out the CUDDLY link at the bottom of these show notes for further information as well.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageIn this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine specialist Nick Fransen, who's mission is to help people overcome the subconscious blocks that are keeping them STUCK. Nick has dedicated his time and efforts towards educating patients/people about the unhelpful patterns of our subconscious mind, and how breaking them can lead to healing the body and creating more peace and success in one's life.We largely discuss how the body really does "keep score," and how health conditions, sleep troubles, addictions, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and more can really be the result of subconscious programming associated with past life circumstances and/or trauma. Nick teaches us the different ways our minds become programmed,  and how it's very common to see people with chronic health conditions unintentionally held back from healing due to these hardwired beliefs, attitudes, and blocks. He shares how this also applies to other versions of feeling "stuck" in life, such as relationship/marital issues, career and financial stress, and more.This conversation is the real deal. We share a lot of candid conversation, personal stories, and more during this chat; we even talk forgiveness, harboring resentments, and the emotional toll it takes on us when we avoid this very important piece of “wellness.”Nick then gives us a great glimpse at how a specific type of homeopathy (discovered in Europe) can help guide us towards breaking these subconscious patterns, loops, and habits. When we start to address this often-missed aspect of health and healing, we open the door for long-time burdens to be alleviated, and create space for us to thrive in health and in our lives overall.Nick's Website: https://www.privianaturals.com/Practice Website: http://fransencenter.com/NOTE: Practitioners who are interested in more information, please visit the the Privia Naturals link aboveShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree (Discounts etc.): https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comHelp Abused and Homeless AnimalsCUDDLY helps give animals a healthy life & a loving home.
