Episode #5: Conversations with Spirit | How to Listen to Your Intuition Interview with Michelle Young

Copy of IG post templates.png

Hey there warriors!

You may think this is all woo-woo, but we all have an inner voice that sometimes we choose to block out...and sometimes we listen.  What if we all knew how to better communicate with that inner voice? Michelle Young is an enlightened woman. Her gifts started presenting themselves in childhood and were always prevalent in her life. Recent events that impacted Michelle involved the death of a family friend. Michelle was aware of extenuating circumstances around this tragic event. As spirit would have it, Michelle found a wonderful mentor to help her understand her gifts and how to nurture and develop them. One mentor lead to another, and step by step, Michelle has been guided both with personal mentorship and spiritual mentorship with her pen.  She is a medium, a mom, a reiki practitioner and she channels messages from heaven.  

Michelle believes that we are all enlightened.  That each and every one of us has gifts and we can learn to tap into them, to listen to our inner voice/intuition.  Going deeper and learning how to tap into that place inside all of us all gives us the ability to develop, nurture, and thrive in all areas (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually) all the days of our lives.  Giving us the ability to show up as our most authentic selves.

Episode #4: How To Reclaim Your Power Over Weight Gain Interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver

IG post templates (3).png

Hey Warriors!

In this episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Board certified OBGYN and creator of The Galveston Diet tells us how she unlocked the secret to combating middle-age weight gain through her own life struggles.  When Dr. Haver was experiencing the weight gain associated with menopause she decided that the solutions available were unacceptable and she had to discover another more effective way! The Galveston Diet has helped thousands of women who battle weight gain to due to menopause but certainly translates to anyone experiencing battles with their weight.  

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do. As her patient population aged, she was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn’t until she, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn’t work.

Dr. Mary Claire Haver is the founder and creator of The Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition.  In an effort to learn as much as she could about medical nutrition, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019.

She has been married to her husband, Christopher Haver since 1996 and they are raising two teenage girls, the loves of their lives.
