Description

Hello and welcome to The Other Way, a women's lifestyle podcast exploring uncommon, unconventional, or alternative approaches to life, business, and health. I’m your host, Kasia; I’m the founder of In Flow, a women's wellness brand on a mission to help women reconnect to their bodies and intuition through the wisdom of their cycle. I'm also a mindfulness practitioner on a mission to harmonize “being” with “doing” and discover my most authentic and aligned self. In my experience, stepping into that kind of alignment often requires us to take the less traveled path. On this podcast, I explore those paths. Here, you can expect real, raw conversations with founders, researchers, trailblazers, experts in medicine, spiritual teachers, and all-around inspiring humans on the journey of doing things our way. It may not be “the way,” but it is the other way. So, if you’re like us and feel called to listen to that deeper voice - you’re in the right place. Welcome.

Ever felt like you're constantly running on a treadmill of productivity, yet somehow you're still not getting anywhere? I can definitely relate. As a self-proclaimed Type A - I often found myself in hyperdoing mode (wholly disconnected from my body and any part of my feminine, flowy being). What would this lead to? Burn out, disatisfaction,   and questioning the end I was running towards! Today's episode is a deep dive into this theme as we speak with Amy Natalie; feminine embodiment guide, author, and coach. We delve into Amy's profound shift from a life stifled by anxiety to one flourishing in stability and intuitive living. As she recounts her steps, Amy becomes a beacon for the kind of intentional living that can lead to personal growth and fulfillment, a journey we at Inflow hold close to our hearts.Striking a balance between the go-getter drive and the intuitive whisper is a dance many of us are still learning. Our discussion turns to the art of embodiment, where as a women's empowerment coach, I emphasize the value of connecting deeply with our bodies as the vessel for our emotions, intuition, and pleasure. We share personal narratives that challenge the 'good girl' persona and societal norms, urging listeners to realign their lives with their soul's essence. The transformation is palpable as we discuss shifting from living 'neck-up' to embracing a life sprouting from authenticity and joy, a path that leads to personal growth and a healthier society.This episode is a treasure trove for those seeking harmony in their personal and professional spheres. Amy's battle with endometriosis, which led to the creation of Inflow, exemplifies the perfect marriage of structure and flow, and it's a resource you won't want to miss. We offer you tangible steps to start practicing embodiment and give a glimpse into resources for those ready to journey deeper into this transformative work. If you're ready for a significant change or yearning for balance, this conversation is an open invitation to nurture a connection with your inner self and step into a more empowered, integrated life. To connect with Amy: IG: amynatalieco amynatalieco.com Free embodiment class  🎉Support the showTo connect with KasiaJoin our monthly newsletterwww.inflowplanner.com (use code "podcast10" for 10% off)@The_Other_Way_Podcast@InFlowPlannerSubmit topic/theme/speaker requests Support the showTo connect with Kasia Join our monthly newsletter www.inflowplanner.com (use code "podcast10" for 10% off) @The_Other_Way_Podcast @InFlowPlanner Submit topic/theme/speaker requests

Do you ever wonder about the ancient wisdom of shamanism and the profound transformation it can spur within an individual? Today, I'm thrilled to share my compelling conversation with Judy Lieblein an esteemed herbalist, reiki master teacher, visionary activist, and shamanic practitioner. Our insightful discussion unfolds around the intriguing spiritual system of shamanism and the transformative experiences that punctuate this journey, such as the intriguing phenomena of fragmentation and shamanic death. We journey deep into the heart of shamanic death, contrasting it with soul fragmentation and dissociation. Judy illuminates how this experience can trigger a profound reshaping of belief structures, leading us to the core of who we are. As we uncover these layers, we also explore how the echoes of childhood traumas and unexpressed feelings can bind us to the past, and how recognizing and breaking these patterns can imbue a fresh perspective and personal growth. As we delve into the enigmatic realm of plant medicine, Judy shares her wisdom about the romanticization and overconsumption of these potent substances. We emphasize the importance of recognizing plant medicine for its true purpose - powerful medicine, and debate the nuances of its use and distribution. Lastly, we acknowledge the potential of these plant allies to help us uncover our greatest potential and express gratitude for our shared time.

Reflecting on my teenage years, I remember flipping through magazines, testing out countless beauty products, and trying to make sense of it all. It wasn't until I started exploring health food stores and farmers' markets that I began to truly understand the connection between what we put in our bodies and how we feel about ourselves. My guest, renowned aromacologist Nadine Artemis, has taken this concept a step further, shifting the focus from external beauty to nurturing our bodies from the inside out. She calls it Renegade Beauty, and in our chat, we dive into this innovative mindset, shedding light on the science behind clean beauty and the importance of maintaining a balanced skin microbiome.As a society, we've become accustomed to unrealistic beauty standards, often shaped by the media and intensified by the pressures of social media. Nadine and I discuss the real root of skin issues like acne, and how small changes in our daily routines can lead to significant improvements in our skin health and overall wellbeing. We explore the power of essential oils, the value of a balanced diet, and the impact of modern skincare products on our skin's microbiome. We also address the toxicity of social media and the comparison trap it creates, encouraging a healthier relationship with ourselves and our bodies.But our conversation doesn't stop at skincare. We delve into more delicate topics such as body dysmorphia and the importance of self-care. We share our thoughts on the need to step away from the rat race and focus on nurturing our inner lives for outward stability. Nadine offers her insights on how to navigate beauty pressures, and we both share our experiences and advice on cultivating self-love and acceptance. Our chat is a celebration of natural beauty, self-knowledge, and nurturing the body from the inside out.
