Hello, fabulous readers! Catherine here, and I’m beyond excited to share with you the stories and lessons that have come out of our premier podcast episode featuring the dynamic duo – Julie Clark Nutrition and yours truly. Brace yourselves for a compelling journey through the intricacies of holistic wellness and the defiance of conventional ageing. We’ve laid bare our personal experiences with health struggles, from chronic fatigue to acute anxiety, and spilt the beans on how we’ve embraced alternative health solutions and community leadership to transform our lives.
In today’s fast-paced world, chronic fatigue and mental health issues are like uninvited guests overstaying their welcome. Julie’s initial encounter with chronic fatigue and her bold decision to turn away from antidepressants set her on an enlightening path of self-discovery. My own term with acute anxiety, intensified by the chaos of personal and work life, led me to seek solace in Pilates and other movement and other holistic practices such as meditation and breathwork. Our shared experiences underscore the importance of listening to our bodies and the transformative power of alternative therapies.
Our story takes you deep into the heart of Whitstable, where vibrant communities thrive, defying age stereotypes with every cold sea lap with the Whitstable Bubbletits, affectionately known as the Bubbletits, and every harmonious choir note at our beloved UK Soul Choir sessions on Friday afternoons.
My commitment to environmental activism with SOS Whitstable, dedication to fitness and well-being, and Julie’s bottomless knowledge of nutrition and mindset and its seemingly magical effects underscore our roles as leaders in the wellness space. Armed with expertise in nutritional medicine, subconscious transformation training, breathwork, and more, Julie and I are on a mission to challenge the ageing status quo.
As staunch advocates for mental health, we emphasize the value of addressing it openly and finding individual paths to empowered well-being. Our philosophy revolves around refusing to conform to typical narratives of ageing and health. We passionately believe in going against the grain, rewriting the old stories that all too often surround women, and are determined to inspire others to do the same.
We consistently extend a warm invitation to listeners to shake off old narratives and join our feisty quest for a vivacious and health-filled existence. We’re on a mission to empower you to take control of your health and well-being by sharing our knowledge and experiences.
Our qualifications in health disciplines, including nutritional medicine, subconscious transformation training, and breathwork, underpin our mission to inspire others to make healthier choices. We offer insights into how we’ve harnessed these disciplines to support our bodies and defy societal expectations of ageing and health.
Our podcast and this blog are not just a conversation; they’re a celebration of life’s fabulousness and the transformative power of wellness. Our stories are not only inspiring but also a testament to the fact that it’s possible to live a vibrant, healthy life at any age. Our message is crystal clear: embrace your fabulousness, defy age, and become leaders in your own wellness journey.
In conclusion, I hope that this serves as a beacon of hope and a guide for those looking to embrace holistic wellness and defy ageing norms. Our journey is a powerful reminder of the strength of grace and grit in overcoming health hurdles. We invite you to join us in transforming health setbacks into celebrations of life and becoming part of a community that values ageless vitality.
Cheers to embracing your fabulous self and living your healthiest, most vibrant life!
