The Grind & Be Grateful Podcast With Marie Wold

This week, we’re diving deep into holistic wellness, including non-toxic living, breast implant illness, adaptogenics, and cannabis, PLUS a general conversation around how to make informed choices about your health and wellbeing instead of just going with fads or trusting things because they’re the “norm”. I had to pleasure of sitting down to chat with Karissa Pukas, who is a Canadian content creator and entrepreneur, and as you’ll find out, she is a total badass. Karissa has built a YouTube audience of almost 750 THOUSAND subscribes, plus hundreds of thousands of more followers on Instagram and Twitter. She is also the co-owner of a vegan & handmade false eyelash company, called Social Eyes. While she initially garnered a following through beauty and fashion videos, Karissa eventually became just as known for her honest takes on young adulthood, mindfulness, wellness, and recently, she’s received a lot of attention in the media for sharing her struggles with Breast Implant Illness and we’re gonna cover i

You’re listening to episode number 35 of the grind and be grateful podcast, and today it’s just you and me! I’m going to take you guys through my 8 pillars of total confidence and wellness and I’m SO excited for it because unlocking these 8 things is truly just life-changing for anyone that commits to it. And for a little background as to how these came about, a while back, I was looking for a framework or curriculum to take my coaching clients through that would help them integrate MENTAL transformation into their health + fitness journeys, because simply giving them workouts, a nutrition plan, and answering their questions wasn’t ENOUGH, it wasn’t giving the life-changing transformations that I knew I could help them create. Basically, I couldn't find anything that made sense for my coaching philosophy and what I knew would be the most transformative... so I created my own, and over time I edited it, refined it, and eventually it became what I call the 8 Pillars of Total Confidence + Wellness. There are 8 p

If you’re anything like me, your Instagram feed is full of perfectly arranged smoothie bowls, beautiful, rainbow salads with avocado art on top, super intense adaptogenic concoctions with all sorts of superfoods, mushrooms, and who knows what else, from wellness influencers who make it look so effortless and EASY, Being a content creator and influencer myself, I should KNOW better than to take all of that stuff at face value, but the truth is, I STILL struggle with comparing myself with other influencers because it seems like they have it all together, all the time. THANKFULLY, there are women like today’s guest, Gracie Gordon of Hungry Blonde, who are SUPER real and honest about what “real life wellness” looks like behind the scenes of the perfectly curated content that we usually see. Gracie’s approach to food and wellness is super honest, approachable, and refreshing, and I know that you’ll love her message as much as I do! I can’t wait for you to hear from her!   We chatted all about: - Her experiences li

In case you haven’t noticed, this show has had EXCLUSIVELY female guests for the 8 months of its existence, but this week, we are taking girl talk to another level because we are talking ALL things hormonal health, periods, and birth control. Think of this episode as a super empowering, mind-blowing upgrade in place of what high school health class SHOULD have taught you. I sat down with the incredible, Dr. Jolene Brighten, who is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Medical Doctor and the founder of Rubus Health, a women’s medicine clinic that specializes in women's hormones. She is recognized as a leading expert in Post-Birth Control Syndrome and the long-term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives. Dr. Brighten is the best selling author, speaker and regular contributor to several online publications and health apps.   I’m SO grateful for the work Dr. Brighten is doing in women’s health and she has SO much knowledge to share in this episode. We talked all about: - Women's experience with tradit

With it being mid January right now, New Year’s resolutions are either going strong, or starting to fizzle out no matter how GOOD our intentions were. The other day, I was reading an artcile about New Year’s resolutions and they had polled over a 1000 people… among that sample, almost HALF of them had diet resolutions, with the top approaches being low carb, basic calorie restriction (which could include just eating healthier), keto, and low-fat. As a wellness coach, I DEFINITELY have my own opinions about all of those approaches, cough cough especially keto, but I wanted to bring on someone even more specialized to chat about diets,  nutrition, and how they fit into a healthy lifestyle this week, so I brought on a registered dietitian, and WNBF bikini pro, Kara Corey! Kara really specializes in providing science-based, accurate nutrition information for the fitness community, and she does so through her YouTube channel, Kara Corey Fit Life, where she has a dietitian talk series, documents her competition pre

This week we are turning the lights ON and getting real about sex! Our guest, Devon Day Moretti, is a women’s health and fitness coach that focuses on confidence and self-love, and one of the BIG topics she focuses on with her clients and her content is sex. She encourages women to start having sex with the lights on and feel empowered in the bedroom. Whether we’re talking openly about it or not, I think SO many women struggle with this aspect of their confidence and self-love, so I’m really excited for you to hear from Devon today and I know that you’re gonna grow a TON just by hearing her story and the actionable steps she’s sharing with us.   SHOW NOTES:http://grindandbegratefulpodcast.com/episodes   Follow Devon: @devondaymoretti Follow Marie: @marieewold Follow the show: @grindandbegratefulpodcast

You’re listening to episode number 28 of The Grind & Be Grateful Podcast. Minimalism… manifestation… abundance mindset… if you’ve been hanging out in my corner of the internet for a while, I know that you’ve HEARD those words before, but I also know that they can be super confusing if you haven’t had a chance to really learn about what they mean and how to actually PRACTICE them in real life. So today, I brought on an EXPERT across all three of those things, and she’s going to explain them all and teach us how to apply them in our own lives-- sound good?! This week, we’re hanging out with Alyse Brautigam, who is the founder of Raw Alignment – a platform focused on empowerment and self-love   SHOW NOTES: http://grindandbegratefulpodcast.com   Follow Alyse: https://www.instagram.com/rawalignment Follow Marie: https://www.instagram.com/marieewold Follow the show: https://www.instagram.com/grindandbegratefulpodcast

Today we’re talking about something you either love, or love to hate… Instagram. Whether you use the app to grow your business, build a following, or stay connected to your friends and family, you’re probably scrolling and double tapping on the daily. You probably already know that I’ve been on Instagram FOREVER (my 8 year insta-versary was in October), but I wanted to bring in my friend and Instagram growth guru, Isabella Silverio to break down the strategies and hacks for Instagram success. You might know her as Isabella Guava, and she is a content enthusiast, social media master and full-time business consultant for her company, Guava Empowerment. She’s been involved in the launches of 10+ global startups since the age of 18, and her expertise spans from the tech, fitness, personal branding and influencer marketing industries. Her passion of empowering entrepreneurially-minded women is a driving force for her and her business, and I cannot wait for you to hear her story and learn all of her Instagram exper

I am SO excited to have you here today, because this week’s show is nothing short of life changing. You know those moments in life where something just clicks and you find greater clarity?? This episode single-handedly has MANY of those moments, and I know that you’ll experience them just as strongly as I did during this interview. Now you’re probably wondering who the heck our guest is this week-- who could possibly create such rapid change-- and that is the incredible Danette May. Danette is a fitness icon, entrepreneur, leader, world-renowned speaker, former celebrity trainer, creator of the Rise movement, and best-selling author, wife, and moth, who has an incredibly inspiring story-- the life and empire that she has built, was built on rock bottom. By sharing her story and the lessons she’s learned along the way, Danette has changed the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives of millions of people around the world. She focuses on the transformational power of healing foods, healing movement, and

For my Americans listening, this week’s show is just in time for one of my personal favorite holidays, THANKSGIVING. Obviously since this is the grind & be GRATEFUL podcast, gratitude is super important and I love that it’s so central during this time of year. Sometimes the magic of the holiday season can be overshadowed by our own personal struggles though, particularly around food and exercise. Sometimes we get SO wrapped up in our diet or exercise plan that we lose sight of that magic-- food and body concerns take your focus off of being present, enjoying your loved ones, enjoying the celebrations and the food, and if you are currently like “holy crap, this is me” right now-- if you have spent past holidays worried about eating the right things, or not eating too much, or working off your food-- then this episode is for you. I sat down with my friend Jessi Jean, who is a certified eating psychology and she helps women evolve their relationship with food, ditch dieting, and reclaim their health and happ

You are in for a super soulful, life-giving conversation today! I sat down with my longtime friend, Valentina Esteban, to talk allllll about her journey of uncovering her truth, and how you can do the same. Val is truly one of the coolest people I know. She has a background as Canada’s youngest professional bikini competitor-- she rose through the competitive bodybuilding ranks at a very young age and was on track to have a super successful career in fitness, until she decided that it just wasn’t for her and literally walked away from everything she had built because she realized that it wasn’t her TRUTH. She has had some crazy cool experiences while traveling the world which we’ll talk about in the episode, and she has some really amazing insights on how we can all cultivate stillness and truth in our own lives. You will literally feel like you just stood in the sunshine after hearing Val speak, and I’m so excited for you to get to know her! SHOW NOTES: http://grindandbegratefulpodcast.com FOLLOW THE SHOW: h
