🎙️ Episode 50: Nourishing from the Inside Out

I can't quite believe I'm sitting here recording my 50th episode 🥹 and I just feel this deep wave of gratitude washing over me. A whole year of showing up, sharing stories, and holding space — and I am so, so grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey with me. A special thank you to my husband Russell, whose quiet, steady support has meant more than words can say 💛In this solo episode, something bubbles up from inside me that I haven't spoken about openly before — and that's my deep concern about how we, as a society, are nourishing ourselves. Through my work as a support worker and in offering blissful touch massages, I spend a lot of time in one-on-one spaces with people, and what I witness has been sitting heavily in my heart lately 🌾 I want to be clear — this isn't about judgment. It's about awareness. It's about gently asking the question: what are we actually putting into our bodies, onto our skin, and into our whole being?I find myself thinking about my mum and my nan, and the simplicity of how food used to be made — flour, butter, oats, love. Real ingredients, real effort, real nourishment. And then I look at a packet of Anzac biscuits on a supermarket shelf today, and I wonder what my nan would make of it all 🍪 I share my own journey too — being coeliac, going low-carb, eventually exploring a carnivore way of eating — and how reading labels changed everything for me. Not to push my path onto anyone else, but because I genuinely believe that what we put into our bodies matters. Deeply. And I don't think we always realise just how much. 💭I also share something that moved me recently — watching someone I've known for over ten years in a nursing home, no longer in control of what she eats, and seeing the impact of that on her health. It broke something open in me. And it reminded me why I care so much about this conversation.This episode feels a little different — rawer, more of a heart-led reflection than anything else. But it's honest, and it's real, and that's what Heart Felt is all about 🌸May this episode plant a little seed of awareness in you — a gentle invitation to pause, to read the label, to feel into what truly nourishes your whole self. 💛You can find me at 🌐 Website: https://www.juliemargerison.com  📩 Subscribe to my fortnightly newsletter to stay connected https://www.juliemargerison.com/newsletter 🎧 Available now on all platforms.🔗 Stay in touch:Follow me across my social media platforms here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartfeltwithjuliemargerison Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/16kXnE4SGn/?mibextid=wwXIfr YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieMargerison-q5l LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-margerison-1a4513374 Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514174 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3IqNNE9VP8FrCZgDyhZsWK?si=5898476e481a4622 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/heart-felt-with-julie-margerison/id1824601386 #HeartFeltPodcast #NourishYourself #ConsciousLiving #WholesomeWellness #EpisodeFifty
