Intentionally Well

Send Vanessa a Text MessageIn this episode, I have a beautiful and thought-provoking sit down with Michelle Piccione, founder and face behind Mushaboom Traditional Midwifery and Sovereign Birth. Serving families and mothers entirely outside of the allopathic medical system, she practices outside of the medicalized midwife community as well. This show is jam-packed with truths surrounding the differences between the types of midwifery and caretakers, as well as valuable information regarding the the physiological birthing experience. We chat about her own journey and what led her to this line of work, the potential fears surrounding home births, and she gives an abundance of advice to those who may want to explore this topic, or simply just gain knowledge on birthing options outside of a hospital setting. There is no right way to do things surrounding pregnancy and the birth process, and I believe today's show is a wonderful and gracious reminder that as a whole, we are not always aware of ALL of our options regarding big health decisions. I personally learned so much during this very candid, very honest conversation, and I am certain you will find this episode an informational and intriguing one.Michelle Piccione on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mushaboomyyc/Website: www.mushaboomyyc.comPDF resource on Interview Questions for Your Midwife: www.mushaboomyyc.com/single-post/resource-getting-clear-on-your-birth-vision-interviewing-your-birth-support Book recommendation: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering by Sarah J.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageIn this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of speaking with Jenn Merrick, who is currently a Functional Nutritional Therapy/Restorative Wellness Practitioner, as well as the owner of Jenn Merrick Wellness. Before diving into this side of root-cause health care, Jenn was practicing as a paramedical esthetician for 15 years, and worked with hundreds of people who were challenged with minor to severe skin issues. Her path changed however, after she realized that the health of the skin was definitely an inside job, and passionately sought out on a quest to educate herself further in order to help clients with their overall metabolic health. Jenn is full of knowledge and really highlights the fact that the conditions we face are just a symptom of a deeper imbalance, and that healing is absolutely possible. This show is full of wonderful reminders and easy-to-implement takeaways when it comes to skin health and  improving the state of our metabolism from a foundational and cellular level.Jenn Merrick on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennmerrickwellness/ Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageThis episode is a very personal one for me, and it's one I hope will shed a little light as to why I'm so passionate about health and overall well-being. Here, I share a more detailed overview of my past and the events that have led me to this moment in time. My journey is undoubtedly the catalyst to this podcast, and I felt it was important to share my story a bit more intimately, so that you could simply get to know me a bit better. My goal is to also flood you with hope if you (or someone you know) is challenged with what seems like an impossible mountain to climb. We don't always understand why we're faced with the circumstances presented to us and FOR us, but there is always a bigger plan at play. As we walk the path, we continue to turn over stones that help disclose the true purpose behind our struggles, which can ultimately aid in the healing of our body, mind, but most importantly...our soul.Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Blog Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.

Send Vanessa a Text MessageIn this episode, I sit down with Jared Ralsky, current NBA scout and certified Holistic Health Coach, to talk about "getting back to the fundamentals" when it comes to our health. Many of us find ourselves chasing the latest and greatest tools, gadgets, therapies, supplements, etc., and while these things can be useful, we often skip the foundational basics of healing. We discuss many common (but not always thought of) speed bumps that hinder our health journeys, the effects of social media on our well-being, tips for purchasing real food in today's modern world, and MUCH more.Jared Ralsky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.health.goat/Jared's free recipe e-book: https://subscribepage.io/2wEm1D Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/well.with.vanessa/Vanessa Lopez on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiftofgoods/Vanessa's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegiftofgoodsEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.
