In this episode, we talk about the approaches and exercises to that can redirect you to the purest aspect of your heart and soul, 2020 energy and finding our truth and the illusion of spiritual perfection.

In Part II of the episode with Spiritual Advisor Aiyah Maraka of MySpiritualDiet, we talk about the self-inflicted pressure to 'hustle' and succeed we experience as millennials and allowing the natural flow of life in to prepare ourselves for what we are meant to receive. We explore the depth of anxious mentality and thoughts and how those can manifest in physical imbalance as well as navigating modern life mindfully.In the episode, we also touch on the concept of divine timings and the paradox of why everything you want is not always what is meant for you, divine messengers and why situations can have a repetitive pattern to teach us more about ourselves.Aiyah shares her philosophy of the 'Beauty and the Beast' living inside each one of us and why we shouldn't run away from negative feelings.Listen to Part I - Perfectly Imperfect with Aiyah Maraka Mentioned in this episode: MySpiritualDiet Aiyah's Range of Bolo Tie Crystals The Beauty and the Beast Paradox What makes you spiritually perfect?

I am back with a solo episode a week away from February - it’s around this time that most of us will start feeling resentful or stressed for not having met the expectations we set out for ourselves in the new year. While setting intentions is a powerful tool to align with the thoughts that you want to manifest and in this episode I discuss how we can re-align with our goals when January’s motivational buzz starts wearing off or simply when we wake up feeling slightly detached from the ‘hustle’ mentality. This episode is all about re-igniting your amazing ability to experience such different nuances in the day to day in your personal growth journey - no two days will be the same, we experience different intensities of motivation and creative consciousness and that is not directly related to how much we want to reach a goal or how much we strive to achieve. The good news here? You get 339 other shots at it from today! In episode 4 of the Life Tonic Podcast, I talked about the importance of self-reflection to awaken your inner warrior in 2020 and manifesting all your goals and how mistakes = lessons and lessons = growth.

“Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain and feelings are the vocabulary of the body. How we think and feel becomes our state of being.” In this episode, I try to answer what it means when our body speak to us and manifests imbalance.I attempt to apply the tools for connecting to your inner power, heal negative behaviours, patterns and habits and let go of what no longer serves you through aligning mind and body.In what is a slightly controversial episode topic, I open up about chronic breakouts, my experience with energy healing and what it means to go through the experience of body talk with a holistic practitioner.I also touch on some lifestyle changes I will be implementing to bring out my most glowing self and work on the next best version of her!Mentioned in this episode: My London Naturopath and Body Talk PractitionerThe Natural Dispensary Follow me Instagram: @LifeTonicPodcast @JoannaoStylist Tune in for more TonicSpotifyApple Podcasts

Coming into this episode, I recommend to do so with a clean slate - much like San Francisco-based Sex and Relationship coach Myisha Battle does it with her clients...by the end of this two-part episode however, you would have hopefully arrived home to yourself.This is what is unique about Myisha's work - she explores the various sex and dating tales with her clients and takes them on a journey from self-discovery, acceptance and eventually adventure. Free of judgement or need for incessant advice, Myisha has mastered something we don't do very much as humans - to hold space and provide an external perspective to help people grow into their sexual power.In Part I, we talk about what's 'normal' when to comes to orgasms and pleasure, getting to know your body and harnessing your power to ask for what you want, both sexually and in relationship, as well as why it’s important to date someone who isn’t your ‘type’.We also tackle the ultimate question - are millennials the least sexually active generation? About the guestMyisha is a certified sex and dating coach, feminist and founder of Sex for Life, LLC, which is home to her sex and dating coaching practice and my sex-positive podcast Down for Whatever, which explores almost every aspect of human sexuality.Follow Myisha on Instagram to learn more about her work and join her monthly Q&A on sex and relationships.Mentioned in this episodeTune in to two upcoming classes with Myisha Battle on All Bodies this month.
