Sister Science Stories Jill Novak The Sister Science Podcast is a place where we talk about that sacred mind.body.spirit connection and how we can practice that in our day to day lives. We discuss lifestyle choices, mindset, patterns and beliefs. Creating a place where acknowledging our connectedness to each other, nature, and the divine is normalized and lived. We honour being deeply supported, confident, and in-tune with our our own remarkable wisdom. We promote taking radical responsibility for how you move, sleep, eat, and manage energy. Learning to trust in your intuition and the sacred mind-body-spirit connection as you embark on a transformational, healing journey.We talk about how there is an ebb and flow to our ability to do this. The challenges that set us back, the fear that creeps in as we learn to be in the uncomfortable space of learning, figuring it out, trusting ourselves in a new way.
