Naturopathic Life and Living

Sometimes life happens causing us to be introspective and alter our views of reality, showing us a new perspective that we once resisted, but actually feeds our needs. I discuss Divine Intervention, spirituality, our needs and how they get taken care of for us and by the unseen- even something we misunderstood- when we slow down, notice the opportunities being presented to us, and are open to those possibilities. These are things I've been doing since I've not shared a podcast these past few months. Welcome back to you. and welcome back to me.  :)  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

The season of winter, with the holidays can be an immense time of overload, overwhelm and difficulty. Either with or without family members, it can be a challenge. That's okay, and it is temporary. Listen to todays episode as I discuss how and why this happens as well as how to get through it, for yourself, and to be there for those you love. Happy Holidays Everybody! We made it through almost another full year ;) ~Dr Francois --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

Halloween is my most favorite time of year. This year we encountered a warm fall day, able to accommodate trick or treating without being too cold. I reminisce a bit in the episode of my childhood Halloween memories and of Uncle Sam's Penny Candy Store, with its owners who opened the doors for me into consulting.. ;) edit: those candies came in little coffins I believe. The garbage cans came with similar tasting candies, but were shaped like trash- fish bones and other throw away-type things. Enjoy some normalcy as we wind down another season of an altered world... Happy Halloween everybody- Much love- Dr Francois --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

Naturopathic Living- wholistically addressing our healthcare needs- is a stepping stone, a gateway if you wlll, for truly living a life that feels magical. In order to embrace our true purpose, living authentically in the present moment, able to manifest our deepest desires, we need to start with honoring ourselves, completely. That comes in Sacred Living. Listen to my latest episode to discover what that means, how to do it and the simplest ways to get started on your path in living divinely. :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

Life can get pretty chaotic and seem nearly out of control at times. What do we do when this happens? When we feel pulled in different directions at once? When calls are coming through and demands keep getting placed on us and we feel like its starting to become unmanageable- doesnt matter with what, doesnt matter from what- could be family, friends, work commitments, home life tasks, our healthcare concerns... the list goes on.What can we do to get back on track? How can we refocus and make this something we can feel some semblance of regularity with?It's simple. Get back to the basics. In this episode I discuss some basics of naturopathic medicine that can be used quickly, regularly and right now- to help bring you back to a state of being.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

The only way we can see anything is from our own unique perspective, which oftentimes doesn't actually see what's right in front of us, but rather, is overshadowed by our past, our beliefs and our insecurities trying to keep us safe.When we are able to step outside of ourselves, and view things from someone else's perspective, truly seeing the world through their eyes, we can broaden our capacity for empathy, open our awareness and expand our ability to understand another.Having the potential to do this also shows that if we aren't happy with our present, or have difficulties overcoming our past, all we need to do is gain a new perspective on it, ourselves, and our dreams and we can change our lives.Good luck everybody :)Dr Francois---- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

As we get closer to reaching our goals, visions and dreams, we can feel overwhelmed at the realization that what we've wanted for so long is finally well within reach. This alone can be frightening, as merging realities of not having, to having can sometimes be incredibly scary and feel like we are not in control of the situation. This happens when the momentum we've built up takes over and change happens... leading to a dissolving of our boundaries and a resetting of our edges. Explore a little of what this looks like as well as how and why we get limited in the first place!#changehappens #levelingup #newrealities #transfomation--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

I've decided to create a YouTube Channel and call it "Dr Francois and My New Best Friend". I'll be interviewing some truly inspirational people, helping spread the word about who they are and what awesome things they do. Why? Because many people haven't learned about all the wonderful opportunities there are. By knowing certain people, and understanding age-old teachings, you'll be able to access yet to be discovered parts of yourself through the wisdom they provide. Whenever I meet someone that I find over the top that keeps me sitting on the edge of my seat, I'm going to be bring them straight to you. Before that gets in full swing though, I'm sharing the audio for the first episode. Please let me introduce you to Arja Hendrikx. I discuss how I met her, why she's so amazing, what kinds of things she's doing moving forward and why I call her #mynewbestfriendHer course starts soon!

As we continue forward beyond the havoc of 2020, we are witness to the calamity of a display of unaccountable toxic masculinity in the political arena of the United States. Toxic masculinity, as evidenced imo through Christianity (and although unmentioned, all patriarchal monotheistic religions), and therefore encouraged, enforced and downright expected from society actually causes monumental damage within society.Honoring both the feminine and masculine while owning ones choices and actions, while sitting through the discomfort of uncomfortable conversations, is the only way of being authentic. Moving forward isn't scary because of moving into the unknown, it's because we are afraid of being surprised yet again by unexpected trauma, like we've experienced in the past. Rather, let's move into the unknown of 2021, and bring with it our ability to see clearly that which we witness, calling out what we see and holding each other and ourselves accountable.

Holidays are times for sharing of experiences... multi-dimensionally- we exist in a complex way with differing dynamics. Not only in the constitutions of our families, but in how we relate to and with them, and of how we show up in that dynamic. Once we are able to recognize that we in fact exist in mind, body, heart and soul, we can allow ourselves to recognize all the ways we receive our loved ones- even well after they are no longer here with us. If CoVid has shown me anything in 2020, it's that our experiences are always our experiences and the love we've shared within our families (chosen and otherwise) exists long after they are no longer in our physical presence- for whatever reasons.Today's episode discusses this, as well as offers insight into a present I received this year- a perfect example of the reality of the life we live.Enjoy everybody, and Happy Holidays!!Much love-Dr Francois#happyholidays #presents #presence #mindbodyheartsoul #wholism #life --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

In this episode I talk with Chi, a man I recently met during the online Oneness festival. I wanted to interview Chi and have him share his story because I witnessed an amazing transformation within him that I wanted to spotlight and encourage him to grow and feel into... being his authentic self... to really support his successes moving forward. Also, to let him share his journey and the decisions he made along the way which led him to him deciding the risk was worth it to change. He attributes his inspiration, successes and decisions to Dr Donny Epstein, DC, Jiddu Krishnamurti, rapper Eyedea, with shout outs to Tony Robbins and Gary Vaynerchuk. To contact Chi and connect on discord to be a part of his hip-hop community, please find him on IG @infinite_c_h_i#oneness #tantrafestivals #onlinefestivals #transformation #change #jump #taketherisk @infinite_c_h_i #discord #community #connections #authenticity --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

Especially right now, we are in need of connecting, worldwide. The Tantra community has adapted well and is offering festivals virtually... Tantra is a way of life, of existing, being and connecting with yourself as well as others. It can involve love-making and sex but doesnt have to. Many people practice tantra without engaging in sex. It's a way of being conscious and authentic.Join me in the upcoming online tantra festivals to discover more about this wonderful world of self-exploration, self-discovery and healing so essential for us all, right now.One World Tantra Festival: tantrafestival.online is happening Nov 20-27, and the Pursuit of Pleasure: festivaltantra.com will be directly after, Nov 27-29. Check them both out- see who will be facilitating workshops, read about what you can partake in and learn. Tech and emotional support volunteer roles can be traded in lieu of purchasing a ticket (discount code available for 25% off through OWTF) .See you soon!#tantra #onlinefestivals #condrop #volunteeronline #OWTF #PoP--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

Holidays, festivities, traditions, rituals.... they provide us with a sense of normalcy, connection, community and peaceful balance so importantly necessary ESPECIALLY during times of stress like this pandemic. As we ease into another change of season including the election in the US, we can look at celebrations like Halloween to offer us some stability. An important aspect of Halloween- at least how Ive rasied my kids with it- includes the freedom and practice of offering children the opportunities to be empowered with their costumes, where they trick-or-treat at, and the management of the candies they collect... leading to them being able to make healthy decisions for themselves as they grow up rather than being dependednt on others to always make their choices.Happy Halloween everyone!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

We can plan as much as possible- really get comfortable and strategic in implementing what we want, but inevitably things happen. How long we wait to be able to adapt to those challenges determines how well we succeed or how much we get derailed by life. Despite wanting to publish my much awaited interview with a brilliant man (hopefully I can get all my technical difficulties resolved and have it up next time...), I needed to recognize it wasnt going to happen this time around, unless I really wanted to delay this episode's release... With repeated unsuccessful attempts, not happy with the quality of the recordings... I switched gears which brought us to today's episode. Much love, keep moving forward, and maybe I can focus more on how to incorporate something new to be able to offer the same expectations of my self next time around. As always... life doesnt always happen how we want, but it is much easier when we recognize the options we can work with, and move forward on our path coming from that direction.Be resilient- :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

As Mars went into retrograde last week, it's apparent that the planetary energies are reflective in society as a whole, as well as directly in my life. With the recording and publishing getting delayed from seemingly random computer issues... it's representative of the "two steps forward, one step back" commonality for right now, as well as it being a time for contemplation of past issues resurfacing- to once and for all purge them out of our systems. It's also a great time for re-affirming boundaries, getting clarity on decisions, and coming to terms with our past decisions... honoring introspection and finalizing long held intentions.Recognizing frustrations coming to a head, slow your pace and triple check before finalizing plans... we've got this world... we've got this ;)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support

CoVid has put us into quarantine- which hopefully people have utilized to be able to determine their integrity while maintaining personal boundaries.Oftentimes when we grow up learning to people please, because our childhoods have shown us we are only worthy of attention when we serve- this can lead to unhealthy controlled adult relationships that are out of integrity and violate our personal boundaries.Listen as I discuss this phenomena and explain why knowing your true self, and being able to honor that, is a healthier option.#integrity #selfhonesty #betruetoyou #beyouryou ##levelup--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-anne-francois-dornbus/support
