Wellness Simplified Podcast

Recently I had to give myself a lecture. Actually, I have to give myself a lot of lectures and this was one that I thought maybe you needed to hear too. Because putting the needs of others ahead of our own is something many of us do without thinking about it, and something we do to our own determent.

September is the "other" New Year and many people plan all summer to kick-off their new goals on September 1st. But then Sept 1st comes and goes, and Labour Day comes and goes and the next thing you know it's mid-September and you haven't started yet. Well, guess what? I think Mid-September is an EVEN better time to start than September 1st and I'll tell you why in today's episode. Join the R+R Wa...

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the reason we keep trying to fix the same things over and over is that we keep trying to solve the wrong problem? That's what today's episode is all about, that and the mystery of that always cluttered Tupperware cabinet!

After a bit of a break I'm back! Today's episode started off with the intention to be about one thing but turned into something else entirely, and I'm not mad about it. I'm talking more about how this pandemic has pushed my hand in making changes to my business that have needed making for YEARS, and how your body simply doesn't have the capacity to lie - but your mind DOES.  This episode is a bit...

With summer officially kicking off this weekend, Nova Scotia enjoying a heatwave and our restrictions lifted here this week so we can have gatherings of 10 people it really feels like party time! Today I'm dedicating the episode to all things summer including what my summer plans look like and some business talk too.

Let's not deny it, times are hard and on any given day you can experience the whole spectrum of emotions. What do you do when your normal stress-reducing activities are not an option?

It's been a hot minute since we had a regular podcast episode, but I'm finally feeling like it's time to get back to business as usual at least here! Today I want to talk a bit about perspective, and how some self-help gurus are telling people that if they shift their mindset and perspective about the pandemic it will help them get through it more easily, and I disagree. For some people yes, it's...

In today's episode, we are going to focus on a simple breathing exercise - square breathing. You may know it by a different name, it's basically the process of breathing in, pausing, exhaling, and pausing. It helps to slow and deepen your breath. Some people may find after a couple of rounds of square breathing that they need to stop and breathe normally for a few breaths, so that's what we do in...

There are so many expectations being thrown at us right now, both by friends and family, social media and from ourselves. In today's episode, I'm sharing a short meditation for forgiveness, and am reminding you that YOU ARE DOING ENOUGH. xoxo

Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep is another amazing type of meditation. Similar to the body scan we did a few weeks ago, this type of meditation allows you to focus your attention inwardly as you fall into the "in-between" state between awake and asleep. Studies have shown that a short Yoga Nidra practice is as restful on the body as an extra couple hours of sleep, making it a wonderful practice those da...

Hi friends! It's been a few weeks since my last episode and boy has the world changed. It didn't feel right to share my usual ramblings right now so instead I'm going to be bringing you some meditations for the next few weeks and we are kicking things off with a body scan. This is a great meditation for "first-timers" so I hope you enjoy it! Join my FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/gr...

Yesterday both my websites and email were down for the entire day. I think all in all I was down for around 40 hours. It was completely out of my control, web servers that went down and I had no choice but to wait around for the restoration. This was a bit of a drag, but because I don't operate all of my business from those two sites, it really only hindered a small part of my business. But it rea...

Do you know those weeks that just never seem to end? Not because they are bad weeks, or because something overly stressful is going on, but because they just physically seem LONG? I've had one of those weeks, and after talking to some of you, you have too. And you know what? That's a-ok! email: Instagram: @suziconfesses Facebook: facebook.com/confessionsofafitnessinstructor.com
