Sister Science Stories

In this episode of Sister Science Stories, Jill sits down with skin whisperer Melanie Nelson, founder of U Retreat in Victoria. Together, they explore skin not as something to fix, control, or perfect, but as a messenger, a boundary, and a living reflection of what’s happening inside us. Melanie shares her philosophy as a holistic aesthetician trained in herbalism, lymphatic drainage, and facial reflexology, and explains why presence - and not just products - is the missing ingredient in modern skincare. From ritual to routine, to how touch resets the nervous system, to why skin issues like acne, eczema, and dryness often mirror stress, hormones, and emotional boundaries, this conversation reframes skincare as a relationship with self. You’ll hear how simple daily practices - like cleansing your face with intention, choosing products your body actually likes, and using your hands as a listening tool - can reconnect you to your intuition, support your lymph and nervous system, and restore a sense of nourishment that goes far beyond beauty standards. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of fighting their body, overwhelmed by skincare rules, or quietly longing to feel more at home in their own skin. In this episode, we explore: Why skin is a storyteller and early warning system The difference between routine and ritual How touch helps regulate the nervous system Skin as a boundary: what’s coming in, what’s ready to go Ayurvedic parallels to holistic skincare and abhyanga Why beauty deepens in community, not comparison If your skin has been asking for more kindness, more listening, and less fixing, this conversation is for you. Listen now and let your skin teach you. You can find Melanie and her amazing team at U Retreat in Victoria, on Instagram at SkinWisdoms

What makes a life stable when everything is changing? In this deeply honest episode of Sister Science, Jill and Chelsea explore the metaphor of building a solid foundation, in construction terms, and as a way of understanding truth, authenticity, and resilience in real life. Using the elements of water, wind, fire, and seismic pressure, they unpack what actually destabilizes us: emotional overwhelm, external opinions, unexpressed truth, identity loss, and life’s inevitable curveballs. Together, they explore what it means to build a life - and a body - on solid ground rather than constant repair. This conversation weaves together: Emotional intelligence and our relationship with feelings Nervous system regulation and grounding practices Ayurveda’s wisdom on Vata, Prana, and Agni (fire) The cost of people-pleasing and performance-based living Why some things must burn down so something truer can grow How community, habits, and daily rituals become the “rebar” that helps us flex instead of collapse This is not about blaming the past or judging old choices. It’s about asking a powerful question: If you were rebuilding your life now - what would you build it on? A conversation for anyone navigating transition, uncertainty, growth, or the quiet knowing that the old foundation no longer fits. Listen in, reflect honestly, and consider what kind of structure you’re ready to build next.

When you step into the muck and try to force your way out, the more stuck you become. In mud and life, how you approach it can make all the difference.  Feeling stuck isn’t a failure, it is the feedback we need in this human form to choose another path forward. In this episode, Jill Novak and Chelsey Beda explore the physics of stuckness, why force makes it worse, and how gentle intention creates real change. Through metaphor, nervous system wisdom, and lived experience, they offer a grounded approach to getting unstuck without burning out.

In this episode of Sister Science Stories, we explore what happens when a seed of inspiration becomes a fully embodied practice. My guest, Lucas Arnatt, is the creator of 7th Breath Yoga - his divinely downloaded, modern system that weaves conscious breath, mantra, sacred geometry, and the mystical power of the number seven into a living, breathing practice where intention meets manifestation.  Together, we dive into the tension of creation, the sacred space where intuition meets action, and the Feminine flow finds her home within the Masculine container. Lucas shares how this practice has evolved over the past seven years since its conception in 2018 and why structure serves as a necessary container for spirit. We also explore how this approach can offer an antidote to modern society’s challenges. 7th Breath Yoga offers a powerful practice for a world rediscovering the need to slow down and turn inward.  This conversation is your reminder that the breath itself is the bridge between the masculine and feminine, between the inner and outer realms. 7th Breath Yoga offers a container to reconnect, explore, and amplify the manifestation of your chosen intentions. It does so within a sacred space created by four ancient spiritual principles, yoked together as one uniquely transformative experience.

We’ve all heard the language of masculine and feminine energies - but what if those words are stereotyped to much? In this episode of Sister Science Stories, Jill sits down with Andre Benoit, a Registered Psychologist who bridges evidence-based therapy with nature connection, mindfulness, and iRest Yoga Nidra. Together, they unpack how our culture has distorted the language of masculine and feminine, falling victim to 'bad branding' we may need to return to the language like eeper Yin and Yang that we can define, give meaning to, and allow to guide us back to balance. Andre shares candid reflections from his clinical work and personal life: how he’s learned to honour intuition as much as intellect, why many men fear their own emotional depth, and what true strength looks like when it’s rooted in gentleness. This episode invites reflection on how imbalance shows up in our lives - when productivity becomes overdrive, when sensitivity is silenced, when cultural expectations drown out inner truth - and how we might reexamine the lens through which we measure success and strength. If you’ve ever felt the tug between doing more and being more, this conversation offers grounded wisdom, gentle challenge, and a reminder that true power is found in balance. Tune in to hear how both modern psychology and ancient wisdom point us back to the same truth: healing happens in wholeness.

Do you remember those first years after high school? Twelve years of structure behind you - bells, time blocks, assignments, productivity measured and graded. Then suddenly, what now? The system is designed to funnel us neatly into the next institution: university, corporate jobs, more of the same structure. But Noah, at 20 years old, is choosing another way. He’s following an inner calling - one that demands his attention, rewarding him with rich experiences and beautiful music when he follows. At the same time he can feel the flow of creativity needs a container, a, different kind of structure. Not the rigid systems of school or a 9-to-5, but a steady reliable set up, something strong enough to hold the art wanting to flow through him. In this episode, you’ll hear from a young man, still altruistic and deeply tuned to his inner wisdom, navigating the question of how to trust that journey and what he’s building to support it. Listen in, and maybe you’ll recognize parts of your own story in Noah’s.  This season I decided it was important to start getting some male perspectives on this whole Yin Yang balancing act. Important to reinforce the narrative that is goes well beyond a gender stereotype or issue. That each of us works best when we honour the Yin and the Yang, the Feminine and the Masculine energies, in us.  Join us at SisterScience.ca to start your own powerful healing journey. The Year of YOU is our signature year-long self discovery course, or book a call to bite off just one small first step.

A path of self-discovery. A journey of enrichment. Before we hit record, Dollie shared her advice for anyone navigating change: Be interested. Pay attention. Explore. And don’t wait—do it now. In this episode, she shares how she moved from overwhelm after the loss of her father… into the surprising reality of getting exactly what she asked for from life. The catch? She didn’t recognize it right away - and instead found herself cranky and resistant, old patterns  coming in to taunt her, as her far-off dreams landed squarely in the present. Through amused acceptance, she reflects on how she may have orchestrated the whole thing - step by step - by simply voicing her needs, sharing her vision, and communicating her inner wisdom. Join us as we laugh at how fickle the universe can be, and explore how sometimes the life you want arrives - whether you are ready and willing or not.  Come, play with us at SisterScience.ca and keep moving through your own powerful healing journey with our love and support. The Year of YOU is our signature year-long self discovery course, or book a call to bite off just one small first step.

Today Chelsey and I are having a really honest conversation about something that a lot of people carry heavy on their hearts: What happens when we realize that staying tied to old family patterns - especially with our parents - means staying small, staying stuck, or staying in pain? Our conversation today will focus on Chelsey’s journey and the necessary severing of the relationship with her mother. And I use the word necessary very intentionally here. Because sometimes, preserving your own spirit, your own growth, requires stepping away. We want to explore that tension between honouring where we come from - the lineage, the people who shaped us - and also being brave enough to say: 'I’m not here to protect old beliefs or repeat patterns that hurt me. I’m here to grow, to evolve, and to pave something healthier for the next generation.' Are we supposed to protect our parents’ beliefs? The blood is thicker than water story line runs deep in us and we can often prioritize affirming and letting our parents be comfortable and safe in story lines that do not allow us to step into our growth, the evolution of our kids. Are we buying into the past, or investing in the future? How do we create boundaries that are both loving and firm enough to hold the growth we need, without staying chained to systems that harm us - even if those systems wear the familiar face of family? It’s a radical act to build boundaries that protect your present and your becoming, even if it means not honouring traditions that kept generations before you small. Honoring where we come from doesn’t mean we have to repeat it. And maybe that’s the heart of it: we can bless the path that brought us here, without agreeing to walk it forever.

Anger isn’t a problem to fix, but a messenger to listen to. In this fiery and tender episode, Jill and Chelsey crack open the topic of anger, not as something to suppress or explode, but as a force - with deep intelligence. They explore how anger, when honoured, can become a tool for protection, boundary repair, and even healing. Jill shares her experience of precision anger; how words can become weapons when her inner fire rises fast to protect her before anyone else can hurt her. Chelsey brings the opposite pattern: years of anger suppressed, buried so deeply it became physically unbearable—until letting it out felt like a matter of survival. Together, they unpack: *The purpose of anger as fuel, body wisdom, and justice *The cost of unexpressed anger—how it morphs into shame, illness, resentment *Embodiment tools to move anger safely through the body *The deep unmet needs anger is often pointing to *How anger may not ever be expressed perfectly, and it just demands to be expressed.  You’ll hear raw truth, laughter, and insight, and our powerful invitation to reflect: “When I’m angry, what am I protecting?" What is the deepest truth I wish someone could understand? Whether you tend to lash out or shut down, how can you reclaim anger as a sacred ally and to learn how to walk with fire through to the release/relief/exhale on the other side. What could the Mantra “My anger is not a problem—it’s a compass" offer you?  Join us at SisterScience.ca to start your own powerful healing journey. The Year of YOU is our signature year-long self discovery course, or book a call to bite off just one small first step.

What happens when the world around you subtly teaches you not to trust yourself? In this powerful episode, Chelsey and Jill explore how microaggressions—those seemingly small, often unintentional jabs from institutions, relationships, and even your own inner dialogue—can disrupt your connection to your inner wisdom. We unpack the invisible tension created when what you feel in your body conflicts with what the medical or education system can quantify, record, or diagnose. We talk about how even a loved one’s eye roll or dismissive comment can shake your self-trust. And we shine a light on how internalized voices—the ones trained to seek approval and avoid judgment—keep us quiet, compliant, and out of alignment with what we know to be true. This conversation is a call to slow down, get honest, and reclaim the sacred authority of your own experience. Because the cost of ignoring your intuition is too high. And the world doesn’t need more well-behaved women—it needs embodied ones.

What does it mean to live true to your own design — even when society pulls you in another direction? In this conversation, Jill Novak and Chelsey Beda explore how finding your sovereignty often means risking the loss of traditional belonging — and why it's worth it. Using Human Design as a lens, Chelsey explains how each of us has an innate energetic blueprint, much like Ayurveda’s Doshas reveal our constitutional nature. Human Design draws on your birth chart to uncover how you are naturally meant to operate — whether you're a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector. We explore how social conditioning encourages conformity, but how travel, exposure to different cultures, and inner work can reveal the unconscious patterns we've absorbed — and offer a path to reclaiming our true essence. Chelsey also shares the unique Energy Strategies of the five Human Design types, highlighting how honoring our individual designs fosters not just personal freedom, but deeper cooperation and cohesion in community. When each of us shows up as who we were truly meant to be, we create cultures rooted in authenticity, mutual support, and the celebration of each other’s innate gifts. Topics Covered: How Human Design complements the wisdom of Ayurveda Why fitting in can cost you your authenticity The role of travel and exposure in breaking societal conditioning The 5 Aura Types of Human Design and their unique strategies How true belonging begins with sovereign self-expression Join us for this empowering exploration of sovereignty, intuition, and the courage to live as your true self.

What if five minutes of movement could change your entire day — or your life? In this playful and powerful episode, Jill is joined by Lea Wiens, founder of MovementMentor.org, a passionate movement educator, physical literacy advocate, and the creator of Movement Snacks — short, joyful movement breaks designed to reset your body and mind in just five minutes. Lea’s journey spans decades of teaching—from lifeguarding and running high-energy Fit Chicks classes to now guiding individuals, workplaces, and elite organizations to reconnect with movement as a form of nourishment, not punishment. Her teaching is rooted in physiology and evidence-based research, but fueled by heart, humor, and the belief that movement should be fun, inclusive, and deeply healing. Together, Jill and Lea unpack the science behind these powerful mini-breaks and challenge the outdated "no pain, no gain" mentality that still dominates our culture. They explore: Why movement is medicine for body, mind, and spirit The importance of physical literacy and fun — especially for those who feel “unathletic” How yoga and movement support emotional resilience and stress regulation The impact of social connection and community-based fitness Why every small movement matters — and how to start where you are Lea’s work isn’t about crushing workouts or burning calories. It’s about reconnecting with your body, building sustainable habits, and shifting the reason we move in the first place — from punishment to pleasure, from performance to presence. 🌟 You’ll leave this episode inspired to take just five minutes — and maybe even a dance break — to change the course of your day. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Lea’s website: MovementMentor.org Here is the link to Lea's  YouTube channel   Join us for a live Movement Snack session in the Sister Science Community
