In 2012, JJ Virgin was in a hospital room next to her sixteen-year-old son who was struck by a hit-and-run driver and left for dead. She was told by doctors that he wouldn’t last through the night and to let him go.
With every reason to give up, JJ chose instead to invest her energy into the hope that her son would not just survive, but thrive.
In the latest episode of Food Heals, she shares the journey of overcoming the worst moment of her life.
It’s a story of western medicine and holistic healing modalities working together to heal a young man and a mom that wouldn’t take no for an answer.
During this difficult time, JJ learned valuable personal lessons that helped her rebuild her life and find success and purpose in herself, her work, and teach her sons and community how to face their own obstacles and trials.
JJ believes that inside every mother is a fierce, resilient, intuitive woman who has the ability to tap into an indomitable mindset and create heroic outcomes—for her children, her family, her community and for herself—she is a Warrior Mom!

What is the true impact of Stress and Fatigue on aging, recovery and metabolism? And how can reverse the negative effects of stress?
That's what today's guest, Janoah Van Kekem, is here to share with us! Janoah is a Meditation Coach and the Founder of two businesses, Mind Maverick and The Momentum Lifestyle Project.
Janoah takes a slightly different approach to his coaching than many of the ‘purests’ you see in the space and is not your average meditation teacher… (and don't call him a guru!)
A former self-proclaimed, “directionless party boy,” Janoah re-invented himself as an Entrepreneur, Mentor and Meditation Teacher (who still loves a good time.)

Life is more than the hustle – life’s about community. It’s about finding your tribe, the people with keys that open up parts of yourself you never knew were there.
Lori Harder grew up without that tribe…
…in a small town, in an overweight family who believed they were victims of their genes. She was home schooled and had zero friends outside of her family religion. She was lonely, repressed and depressed. And even though fitness eventually set her free, both in her diet and in her spirit, it was a long journey and full of obstacles. Despite changing her body, winning competitions, and being successful, Lori still couldn’t shake how miserable she felt.
This is something so many of us struggle with. We think we’ll be happy when we get that job, lose 10 pounds, get married, buy a house…but if we don’t confront and heal the inner stories that run in our mental background, happiness will always be elusive and short-lived.
Lori had to stop and figure out what was blocking her from feeling true joy and lasting happiness. Suddenly she knew she wanted something she’d never had: community. She wanted to give women somewhere to go, a place to feel accepted and connected.
As host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, founder of the Bliss Project, and author of A Tribe Called Bliss, Lori now helps women to find their tribe, connect with their communities, and manifest their dream life.
Enjoy this #classis #throwback episode co-hosted by Suzy Hardy!
