In this episode I'm thrilled to dive into a captivating conversation with the incredible Sarah Li. Together, we'll unravel the concept of pain as a messenger and explore the fascinating crossroads of physical and spiritual healing.

In a world that bombards us with messages to do and be more, many of us grapple with the toll this takes on our physical and mental well-being. We find ourselves trapped in a cycle of stress, burnout, and sometimes, even chronic pain. But what if we flipped the script? What if we viewed pain not as an adversary, but as a vital messenger guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and our purpose.

Often, we live our lives disconnected from our bodies, searching externally for answers. But what if the key to our most significant health issues lies within us, waiting to be deciphered? It's common to dismiss or downplay physical discomfort, powering through or seeking solutions externally. Today, we're challenging that narrative with the insightful Sarah Li, a Self-Healing Mentor who guides individuals to decode the language of their bodies and use pain as a compass for self-healing.

Sarah's journey and the expertise she brings is a testament to acknowledging pain as a guide, not an obstacle. Her unique perspective challenges conventional notions of body healing, promising a transformative shift in how we approach our well-being.

Through this conversation, my hope is to catalyze a shift in your perspective – from viewing pain as a roadblock to recognizing it as a sacred messenger, propelling us toward a more aligned and purposeful life.

Some of the things we cover:

• What a Self-Healing Mentor means, and who is a Self-Healing Mentor for?
• Sarah's personal healing journey and how it led to becoming a Self-Healing Mentor.
• The connection between physical pain and spiritual misalignment.
• How emotional and energetic healing contributes to physical well-being.
• The role of symbolism in understanding and healing pain.
• What is missing when people attempt to self-heal their pain but are unsuccessful.

In this episode we dive into the captivating world of fungi, exploring their remarkable medicinal powers and culinary delights. Fungi is an amazing organism. They play an essential role in ecosystems, nutrient cycling, and human health. They're not just a source of food; they hold significant potential as medicine.

For most of my life, I was familiar with the common button mushroom. However, when I started my holistic health coaching studies, I began to learn about the incredible health benefits of mushrooms like shiitake for example, which provide powerful anti-inflammatory benefits to our bodies. Since then, I've been fascinated and eager to learn more about their importance for both human health and the health of our planet.

Joining us today is Paul Lazazzera, a true fungi enthusiast with over nine years of experience foraging, studying, and cultivating mushrooms. He's not obsessed with mycology but is also dedicated to sustainable and conscious business practices through his mushroom popsicle business, Santa Cruz Fungi. Paul's passion for mushrooms is inspiring, and I can't wait to pick his brain about medicinal mushrooms, cultivation, and foraging.

Fungi are among the most important organisms in the world due to their vital roles in ecosystems, nutrient cycling, and various human applications. Beyond human health, fungi hold extraordinary diversity and significance in the natural world, with various roles in human culture and science. While we often hear about their culinary and psychedelic uses, the medicinal potential of fungi is equally remarkable. After all, the very first antibiotic, Penicillin, was derived from the fungus Penicillium.

In this episode we dive deep into a vital element that affects every aspect of our life on earth. The bloodline of our existence - water. We often hear the phrase 'water is life,' and it couldn't be truer. But in our fast-paced lives, how much attention do we really pay to the quality of water we consume and expose ourselves to daily? Today, we have an exceptional guest who's not only passionate about her health but also about the health of her community. We will be covering the connection between the quality of water you have available to you and how that effects your overall health.

Did you know that the human body is about 60% water? Water is the essence of life, the source of vitality, and a medium through which our bodies, minds, and spirits thrive. Every sip, every shower, every drop that nourishes your body plays a crucial role in your health and overall well-being. And because I always like to tie things back to ancient traditions and cultures, many have long revered water as a symbol of purification, transformation, and life force. Water ceremonies and rituals have been used for centuries to connect individuals to their inner selves and the world around them.

Today’s guest is not only passionate about her health but also about the health of her community. Whether you view it through a physical or spiritual lens, the quality of the water you consume is undeniably vital to your journey here on earth.

She's been deeply involved in the health and wellness industry from a young age and has a unique perspective on proper hydration. In 2018, Alayna discovered the transformative benefits of ionized water and has been on a mission to share this knowledge with the world.

At 52, Alayna continues to be an active athlete, competing in various sports and weight training regularly. Proper nutrition and hydration have been pivotal to her journey. She's the founder of Blue Zone Waters, a unique water store in Santa Cruz, California, where she provides free ionized water and education to her community.

Today, we'll be discussing the importance of daily water intake, how to maximize the quality of the water you drink, common contaminants to avoid, how to get your water tested, what to look for in a good water filter, and the benefits of ionized water.

We discuss:

• The role proper hydration plays in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
• How much water you should be drinking daily
• Common contaminants that people should be aware of in their tap water, and why should they be avoided.
• How individuals can find out how clean the water is that comes out of their tap at home.

In this episode I am excited to be joined by Shawna Marie, who is a true embodiment of someone who brings a lot of human into her hustle. Not only is she actively working towards making our planet a better place through her teaching of health and mindfulness as a yoga teacher, but also has a full-time role at California Certified Organic Farmers. Yoga and organic food are two topics that hold a special place in my heart, and I'm eager to hear Shawna's expertise and story.

I met Shawna at the yoga studio where I teach. Her vibrant energy and teaching style immediately caught my attention. However, as I dove deeper into her journey, I realized that there's so much more to her story.Like I mentioned, Shawna isn't just an incredible yoga teacher; she's also a Donor Relations Manager at California Certified Organic Farmers. Initially, I was curious to learn about her role in supporting organic farmers and wanted to pick her brain about organic food to help convince the masses to go organic.

However, as I prepared for today's episode, I quickly realized that her story extends far beyond that.I believe we all have a calling in our time on this earth to help make it a better place in one way or another through some kind of service or offering and she embodies that beautifully. We'll get a glimpse into how she found yoga and meditation back in 2008, her transformative travels to India and Australia, and how she seamlessly integrates the path of yoga with her dedication to safeguarding the planet through her role at California Certified Organic Farmers.

What resonates deeply with me about Shawna is that she is a wonderful example of embodying the practice of yoga both on and off the mat. Her commitment to both teaching and advocating for sustainable, holistic practices that benefit both us and the Earth is truly inspiring.

So, gear up for an engaging and authentic conversation. We'll be diving into Shawna's transition from yoga mat to farm fields, exploring how the harmony of yoga, meditation, and organic farming can pave the way for a brighter future.

On this episode I am excited to have Joe Clements join the podcast. Joe is a mindfulness meditation teacher and musician in Santa Cruz, CA. He shares the insights he has learned on his journey from addiction and self-doubt to self-acceptance and service.

Many of us who are drawn to mindfulness come into these practices for a reason, and Joe's story embodies the essence of transformation and self-discovery that is available to mindfulness practitioners.

Like me, Joe grew up in the unique coastal town of Santa Cruz, California, a place known for its stunning natural beauty filled with redwood trees and a coastline of beaches and beautiful Pacific Ocean waters. However, those who grew up here also understand the certain kind of youthful angst and restlessness that seems to hang in the air.

Growing up, there was a big punk rock scene in Santa Cruz. Weekend punk shows were the norm, and the vibes of the music matched our moods. Anger, drinking, drugs, and broken family homes united us. We needed music to match our moods, and that music was punk rock. In the '90s, Joe was the lead singer of a popular hometown punk band called Fury 66.

For many in the scene, the shadow of drugs crept in. Marajuana and drinking turned to meth and heroin. Many have been lost along the way, but Joe’s story is one of recovery and finding the path through the help of mindfulness.

For the past five years, Joe has been on a mission, facilitating mindfulness-based recovery and emotional awareness groups in rehabilitation centers, working with at-risk youth, and mentoring future generations through meditation retreats. He leads weekly meditation groups online and in person throughout the Bay Area, all while embracing his new role as a mindfulness teacher.

We discuss:

1. What mindful meditation is and how it differs from other types of meditation.
2. The similarities between Punk Rock and Mindfulness.
3. Joe's early experiences with mindfulness meditation and how it initially appealed to him during your punk rock days.
4. The role music has played in his journey, both as a source of struggle and ultimately as a form of expression and healing.
5. His struggle with the constant need for approval and sense of not being good enough and how mindfulness helped him to deal with these feelings.
6. Suggestions for how people can incorporate mindfulness into their daily routines.
7. Advice for people who are just getting started with a mindfulness practice

BONUS: We end with a short guided meditation. Not to miss!

In this episode I am excited to have New York Times best selling author Lara Love Hardin on the podcast!

Over the 10 years or so I have known Lara, I have known her as a loving mother, a devoted wife, and a powerhouse in the world of literature. Lara is well educated with an MFA in creative writing and her accomplishments are impressive. She is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life by Dave Evans and Bill Burnett, and 2018 Oprah Book Club pick, The Sun Does Shine, which she co-authored with Anthony Ray Hinton about his 30 years as an innocent man on Alabama’s death row.

In this episode we explore some of the themes from Lara's own remarkable life story, which are both astonishing and deeply relatable. In her newly released memoir, "The Many Lives of Mama Love," Lara courageously shares her journey through the intricate tapestry of addiction, self-worth struggles, and the unwavering pursuit of redemption. This memoir touches on vital themes such as mental health, navigating complex relationships, the trials and joys of motherhood, and the resilience it takes to bounce back from life's most profound mistakes.

During our conversation, we journey through Lara's experiences, from her battle with addiction and the path to recovery to the lingering shadows of childhood trauma. We'll also explore the transformative power of writing and the solace found within the pages of books. Perhaps most importantly, we'll delve into the profound subject of forgiveness and the art of healing when life veers off its expected course.

Lara Love Hardin's story is one of resilience, hope, and an unwavering belief in the capacity of the human spirit to triumph over adversity.

In this episode I’m excited to have an old friend of mine Erin Riddell on the show. Erin is kind of super human and not sure how she does it all. Not only is she a mom to four kids, but somehow also finds time to be a skincare specialist, a trainer for Oncology Spa Solutions, part of the wellness team at Blackberry Farm, a reiki master, and the owner of A Kings Lodge & Farm in the smoky mountains of Tennessee. A multitasking mama for sure! She's also a survivor of trauma, grief, and unspeakable loss. Erin's story is one of resilience and the power of the human spirit to never give up on happiness.

I am excited to have her join me to talk about how she got through some of the darkest days of her life and healed through unwavering hope, nature, horses, breath meditation, energy balance, and self-care. An inspiration for all of us to never give up on happiness and how we can use trauma and pain as a path to our purpose.

Welcome back to Coach's Corner. In this episode it is just me, Alisha Slaughter. I am a holistic health and wellness coach for spiritual high achievers and I am passionate about helping busy professionals bring more human into their hustle. This episode is for anyone who is dealing with or think they might be dealing with a hormone issue. We'll explore the role of hormones in our bodies, the effects of imbalances for both men and women, and cover some practical tips you can consider to help you support hormone balance in you life. 

Hormone health is crucial for busy professionals as it affects energy levels, focus, mood, cognitive function, sleep quality, and overall physical well-being. By maintaining balanced hormones, professionals can enhance productivity and sustain optimal performance amidst demanding schedules. 

The nature of business is often characterized by a fast-paced and stressful environment. This can be attributed to factors such as high workloads, tight deadlines, intense competition, and the need to constantly adapt to changing demands. Prolonged stress can disrupt the balance of hormones in the body, leading to imbalances and potential health issues. Prioritizing hormone health through self-care and seeking support when needed is essential for maintaining resilience and achieving success in professional endeavors and contributes to a happy, healthy and balanced life. 

As a holistic health coach, I help clients achieve hormonal balance by guiding them through the lifestyle changes that will help bring balance to their bodies systems. We work to identify imbalances and then come up with a plan to address them through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Besides using the way a person feels to identify these issues it can also be helpful for clients to work with a functional doctor for testing. We can then use this foundational data and consider symptoms to create a nutrition and lifestyle plan.

This episode covers the specific foods and lifestyle changes you can consider to help you bring your hormones into balance.

I hope you enjoy this episode! Please reach out if you have any questions or need help developing a holistic plan to address your hormone issues.

In this episode I am excited to be joined by Dr. Jay Pennock. Dr. Jay is a Functional Medicine Doctor in Santa Cruz California. We dive into functional medicine, healthy aging, and the power that our body has to heal itself. Dr. Jay was a traditional Western medical practitioner for 25 years and turned to Functional Medicine.

What I personally love about functional medicine is that it focuses on the root of the issue and not just the symptoms a person might be dealing with.

In this episode I introduce a new segment of my podcast called Coaches Corner with Alisha. Coaches Corner will be solo episodes where I’ll be sharing healthy tips that you can consider as you are working on upgrading your overall health and wellness.

We start off by diving into the power of breath as one of the main tools you should have in your wellness toolbox for optimizing your health. I share why breath is so key to your health and I offer a short guided practice to help you learn what it feels like to take a proper deep breath.

As a holistic nutritionist we are trained to look at the whole person and every aspect of their life as it applies to their health. We look at things like nutrition, movement, spirituality, lifestyle habits and stress management. All of these things matter when it comes to your health and wellness. I have been studying health and coaching clients over the past 15 years and one thing has bubbled up as more important and foundational than anything else. The quality of your breath determines the quality of your life. You can change your diet and exercise, but if you don’t know how to connect to your breath and regulate your nervous system your other efforts will be much less impactful. Connecting to your breath is the best way to quiet your mind and connect more fully to your body and how you are feeling at any given moment. This connection to self is the most important connection you can have as you go through your life.

Your breath is an important regulator of your nervous system and a daily breath practice is key to your health. I hope this episode encourages you to breathe more consciously and take good care of your body.

In this episode I share a short and sweet guided meditation that will help you start your day with intention, awareness and a commitment to your health. I suggest you practice this meditation in the morning before you start your day, however connecting to your breath and dropping into awareness is good anytime you can take a pause to do so. Even a few focused breaths can improve your wellbeing. To learn more about why the quality of your breath is so fundamental to your health check out my podcast episode Coaches Corner with Alisha : Don't Under Estimate The Power of Breath to Support Your Health.

Establishing a connection to your breath first thing in the morning is a simple yet powerful way to bring awareness into your day. Being intentional about your life means being mindful of your thoughts, actions, and decisions. It means taking the time to reflect on what you truly want and setting goals that align with your values and beliefs.

Meditation, mantras and affirmations are powerful tools that can help you set the tone for your day and bring focus and clarity to your mind. By starting your day with a few minutes of mindfulness, you can create a sense of calm and balance that will help you start your day on the right foot.
