When it comes to personal wellness and holistic living, there really is no “one-size fits all” approach to take. Each and every one of us is different, whether it be our bodies, our mindsets, or even our personal capacities to deal with life’s challenges. The key is to truly know ourselves and identify where our choices are when creating a holistic life. Our guest today is Alexa Schuman, a holistic lifestyle expert, and certified integrative nutrition health coach and women’s health advocate who turned her own experience and passion for the women’s wellness movement into a collective space for new mothers to live holistically.
Motherhood greatly shifted her mindset around the connection of our everyday choices to our well-being. Her intention is to help women confidently navigate a more organic approach with ease so it doesn’t overtake their lives and they feel more whole in the process!
Inside this episode, we talk about Alexa’s two new initiatives and how these business ventures have equipped her in her journey to helping women and holding a space for them to become healthy, thriving humans. We also dive into what it means to make conscious choices, letting your journey fuel your motivation. Finally, we take a look at the missed benefits that used to be evident in tribe communities, a misdiagnosed miscarriage that jump-started Alexa’s path, and why it is essential to get back to eating nutrient-dense whole foods for establishing your holistic life. Stay tuned for all this and more!
