19. HOLISTIC APPROACH w/ CHARLOTTE CAUNTER- CHARLOTTE’S JOURNEY WITH SURVIVING CANCER, HOLISTIC HEALING AND STRESS/ BURN OUT.

Hey guys, we’re back! Better late then never we always say!

On Thursday we released a different kind of episode with a special guest, Charlotte Caunter. Charlotte is a “burnt out specialist” based in Canada. We were lucky enough to chat to Charlotte about her story, from being diagnosed with cancer, to her medical treatment to finding a new and holistic approach to treatment. We delve into viewing the world in a holistic way and living life with a holistic approach. We were able to learn some new things along the way and hope you can too!

To find out more about Charlottes story, check out her website https://healthshero.com

Let us know what you think by sharing, liking and leaving a review or comment.

Peace and love, as always

18. EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS - PURPOSE OF LIFE, MOVING FORWARD AND ACCEPTING

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ - su***de, mental health -

Hey guys, we are back!
Today we tried something new, honest and raw. We chucked our mics on record and decided to chat freely and man we got deep.
One of the boys, Ethan, opens up about how he has recently been thinking about the question of life, what we are, who we are and why we are. We try to open the conversation about the meaning of life and create a comfortable and supportive environment to help our each other and our listeners!

Hope you’re able to get something out of being so open, raw and honest! A special shout out to our boy Eth for being so vulnerable. It takes on small step to start big change.

We try to provide some advice and insight into how we’ve been able to overcome some of our own struggles with this topic.
