Journeys with Wendy

This week on Journeys With Wendy, I talk with my good friend and zen soul sister, Jennifer Buss. She details how clean eating (no preservatives, pesticides and food dyes) significantly helped her son with behavioural issues and ended up helping her whole family in the process. You can read more about her Journey in her book on Amazon “Better, Not Bitter: A Family's Journey From S.A.D to S.M.A.R.T” https://a.co/d/8k233zB. Read Jens full bio from Amazon here: Fierce mother and advocate for individuals of differing abilities. Jennifer is a global yoga leader with a passion for health education. Jennifer was honored to spend the past two decades on the Big Island of Hawaii with her husband of twenty seven years Brian and there three children Paris, Kaden and Lotus. Jennifer serves as a fresh voice and offers new ideas of perspective to help parents turn family situations of pain into passion. Her personal shift from the S.A.D. to S.M.A.R.T has led her from the frigid midwest to the paradise island of Hawaii and back again. Jennifer is a serial entrepreneur, shaping her history with real estate investing in Wisconsin to an organic Kona Coffee and Tea Farm in Hawaii. Now the founder of Yoganics LLC and a Children's Long Term Support Provider for the state of Wisconsin.

In this episode I talk with my soul sister Sarah about her journey to becoming a Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning practitioner. It’s a unique healing modality to support children and adults with anxiety, depression, autism and general calming of the nervous system. We also touch on dating, the importance of setting boundaries and dealing with childhood healing.

On this episode I talk with 16 year old Rose Lepin about her journey to Self Love. She discusses going through bullying at elementary school and her journey to self acceptance and self love in a world that pressures us to be a certain ‘type’, that ultimately led her to compete in Miss Teen BC and Miss Teen Canada. Rose also shares her journey to becoming a journalist for her local paper where she has a column called “the Talkative Teen”. This is an uplifting and inspiring message for women or teens of any age.
