A blend of modern Western medicine, traditional Eastern practices, and cultural "mom magic" takes center stage in this episode of the Seasonal Sisters Podcast, where Janice Saunders shares how to remix your wellness recipe to support long-term physical, mental, and social health.
Janice breaks down the myth that wellness requires painful, computer-like "optimization" or extreme routines like 40-day fasts and restrictive boot camps. Sharing her own 2022 health scare with high blood pressure during a period of intense workplace stress, she reveals how healing a "broken spirit" requires a holistic approach—combining doctor partnerships with alternate nostril breathing, acupuncture, and Qigong. She also introduces the science-backed strategy of "temptation bundling" to help you stay consistent with habits like strength training without relying on sheer willpower.
If you’re feeling exhausted from caregiver burnout, workplace stress, or extreme diets, this episode is your invitation to join the Autumn Exhale and build a sustainable wellness routine rooted in living, loving, and being loved.
