Through hard times comes healing. For Kim Abbott, her healing was for herself first, and finding healing for others within that. Kim was struggling alone for some time before she had the courage and strange to reach out and say "I'm not okay." With the grace of her husband, she was able to start finding ways to heal. Through the pandemic, Kim found herself at home with two beautiful babies. Feeling a disconnect, that turned out to be postpartum depression. In learning & working through this Kim's path brought her to the healings of Reiki. Now practicing out of her home base, Kim is able to help others in their healings. Kim I want to thank you for being so open with us.Let's get well together!Host: Karla Turnerwww.KarlaTurner.caIG: @theansweriselephant & @karlaturner.wellnessadvocateFB: @The Answer is Elephant Podcast & @Karla Turner.Wellness Advocate Guest: Kimm Abbottwww.risinghearthealing.comIG: @risingheart.healingSponsored By:reFRESH Food & Drink Offering healthy lunches, smoothies, fresh juices, fresh baked pretzels, juice cleanses, kombucha on Walkers General Store Walkers General Store is a retail store for the whole family.

I so look forward to many more chats with my guest and cousin Krystal Lavoie. Trying to find answers about her body, Krystal felt stuck for most of her life. Having awareness of her body and knowing that something wasn't right. Sadly, Krystal was not taken seriously when she would voice her concerns to some of her doctors. Gratefully, she found doctors that listened and worked with her to start finding better answers. Finding bigger rooted causes, rather than masking the symptoms. As her cousin I have watched Krystal snuggle over the years. I didn't know the full story behind the struggles until now. How much do we involve others within our wellness? Krystal starting involving the right people in the right places. She trusted in her intuition and it lead her on the right path. This is part 1 of 2 episodes. Find out more about how Krystal is creating her balance now! 29.2 comes out on Wednesday, April 13th.Let's get well together!Host: Karla Turnerwww.KarlaTurner.caIG: @theansweriselephant & @karlaturner.wellnessadvocateFB: @The Answer is Elephant Podcast & @Karla Turner.Wellness Advocate Guest: Krystal LavoieIG: N/AFB: N/AYT: @Krystal LavoieSponsored By:

Yes it's true I use to be a karaoke star. The connection that you make with your regular host are relationships that leasts a life time. The host has a huge job and trust me I have seen a lot all over the world, well kinda lol any way lol. Terry is part of my family and tribe, and he was an amazing host. Every time I got another glimpse into his life, I was always blown away that his nice guy that you see on stage was really just this nice guy. Truly in such a wonderful mindset. A mindset that many people (myself included) struggle to find some days if not most. How does he do it you may ask? Well for some it's as simple as wearing your blood type proudly and living that B+ lifestyle. Even throughout his through 2 types of cancer!Cancer and any other "scary" health scares that we face, doesn't have to be scary. We each have the chooses how how we want to react to the initial news, as well as the day to day changes. Changes that can be long or short lived. Staying in this positive attitude was what a lot of his healthcare team said gave him an upper hand with his fight. Terry, I for one am very grateful that your upstanding mindset helps you everyday. I believe that's how you can help us thrive in our lives more. Or having such a lucky hand.   Let's get well together!Host: Karla Turnerwww.KarlaTurner.caIG: @theansweriselephant & @karlaturner.wellnessadvocateFB: @The Answer is Elephant Podcast & @Karla Turner.Wellness Advocate Guest: Terry Ruth   Sponsored By:reFRESH Food & Drink Offering healthy lunches, smoothies, fresh juices, fresh baked pretzels, juice cleanses, kombucha on Walkers General Store Walkers General Store is a retail store for the whole family.

From high school gal pals to two Moms still sharing love with each other. Sammi Johnson I am so thrilled to do my part of sharing you with the world! You are such an influance in so many areas of my life. Through her love of motivating others, Sammi has been following her path to do just that. I always think it's wild when someone can just does things that I work so hard at. I'm sure you have been there, when you're in awe of a friends for their gifts, skills, talents, esc. I get the feeling when I hear someone playing an instrument. I can sing a little and flow with the rhythms, but when it comes time to try the music part my brain & body just doesn't seem to understand in the same way. Be joyful for your friend and their amazing gifts, be joyful you get the chance to witness this gift that is so special. With my girl Sammi that gift is the way she can set her emotion aside and breakdown the situation best for all. Her ways of thinking outside the box to find solutions rather than panic like some of us. And yes understanding that she is human, herself too.Sometimes starting or taking the next step in your health practices, can be a scary thing. How fun would it be if you have Sammi by your side? Making sure that you understand that health can be fun and exciting. Someone who celebrates each step and goal!   Let's get well together!Host: Karla Turnerwww.KarlaTurner.caIG: @theansweriselephant & @karlaturner.wellnessadvocateFB: @The Answer is Elephant Podcast & @Karla Turner.Wellness Advocate Guest: Sammi JohnsonIG: @sammilj13 & @strong.body.empowermentFB: @Sammi JohnsonSponsored By:reFRESH Food & Drink Offering healthy lunches, smoothies, fresh juices, fresh baked pretzels, juice cleanses, kombucha on Walkers General Store Walkers General Store is a retail store for the whole family.

This human has been such an inspiration to me since the first day I smelt her! Yes I drunk on her amazing aroma before even meeting. Oddly enough I make a sugar scrub with the same lemon & patchouli combo. No wonder I was drawn to her.Living from the land and in a net-zero house, opens your eyes and mind to so many other possibilities. The amount of research and focus that was put into carting a home that could do so much in mind blowing for me. Not only is there so little use of common things that harm Mother Earth, but the house actually gives back. Every time Andrea would tell me something more about her home, I get a boost of inspiration for what I see as my role on this Earth. As we all have a unique part to play in keeping our home safe and beautiful for all. Andrea connects with all things living in such a loving way, that is refreshing to see. Taking time to reflect on how you view others and interacting with them, is so important. So many time we go on auto pilot and disconnected from others and ourselves without even realizing. I feel that Andrea connects to others on a deeper level, even if you don't realize it at the time.Let's get well together!Host: Karla Turnerwww.KarlaTurner.caIG: @theansweriselephant & @karlaturner.wellnessadvocateFB: @The Answer is Elephant Podcast & @Karla Turner.Wellness Advocate Guest: AndreaSponsored By: 

Listening to the universe for most of her life, my guest Jenn Moonflower has taken many adventures that have all helped lead her to where she is now. So where is Jenn now? Well there is a long list of tricks and tools up her sleeve. But mostly I think of Jenn as someone who is passionate about bring natural plant medicine and other healings to her community. Working with tribes to bring different medicine to Canada. Traveling has been such a blessing in Jenn's life. Now she has the itch to show this amazing world to her daughter. What a great upbringing she will have. Making custom silver jewellery with healing and love in her heart. This jewellery is such breath taking art, you must check it out. I cannot wait to see what all Jenn brings to this universe and to us as humans.

Living his life through movements has brought so much wellness to my guests life. Sam Wickstrom has a very different life style then most 23 year olds, and I love it! From sleeping in a hammock, to a few different ways of biohacking. When you take the time to let your body, mind, and spirit grow, others may grow along side you. The motivation that flows out of Sam is refreshing and contagious. Sam takes the lessons he has learnt in movement and adapting them into other areas of his life.  Sam takes his time to truly think about all that he does in his life. He takes the time to be still in order to thrive when he moves. He treats his body like a well tuned machine. We take our cars into the shop for regular maintenance, why not put that mind set into how you want your body to work? Now thriving in his life Sam might just be ready to help others find their own passion for movement. I love talking to a friend and having Sam's name come up. The smile that comes to our faces is always so inspiring. When you can improve peoples mood simply but having your name come into conversation, you have a gift. Sam my friend I believe you have a gift and I'm so excited to see how your path continues.

Life couching has been one of the best things I have done for my wellness. For my wellness then takes over all aspects of my life. Having the chance to sit down and talk with a life coach was such a pleasure for me. Learn how Diane Johnson got to be where she is today, serving others by helping them heal and thrive! Well for that we go back to her early adult years and being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. For some this we knock us down and we could very easily loss hope. Diane however was able to find extraordinary growth and opportunities. Shifting than to becoming a wife, mother, and now life coach. Taking "life tools" that she has found to help herself any others, creating programs based on these tools. Working with you to help guide you through the hiccups that can come with life. Thank you Diane Johnson for finding your true path and being in a space to serve other, as you do so well.
