Black Women’s Wellness: Inspiring Mental, Physical, and Social Health – Seasonal Sister Podcast

Acupuncture and Ancestral Wellness: A Conversation with Shareen Wilson on Healing, Intention, and Healthy Living

Episode Notes

Welcome back to the Seasonal Sisters Podcast, where being mindful of your health is not optional and preparation is queen. In this episode, host Janice Saunders welcomes Shareen Wilson, Licensed Acupuncturist and Co-Founder of ACU Vibes, for a powerful discussion on wellness, parenting, and the intentional choices that create lasting health.

Shareen shares her journey into acupuncture, inspired by personal loss, and how she now uses her expertise to help women, families, and communities thrive. From mindful parenting and sleep hygiene to grounding practices and random acts of kindness, this conversation is packed with both inspiration and practical steps.

Together, Janice and Shareen explore the idea of building a “recipe for healthy living” — filled with small, consistent actions that lead to long-term wellness. Whether you’re a mother balancing family and health, or someone looking for intentional ways to elevate your habits, this episode will encourage you to start small, be consistent, and embrace the healing wisdom of culturally inspired practices.
