THE RAW VIBE

In Part 1, Angie Feuerstein shared the storms she has faced and the experiences that shaped her journey. In Part 2 of our conversation on The Raw Vibe, we move from the story to the tools that can help us navigate our own storms.Angie, author of Navigating the Storm: Journal to Action for the Sensitive Soul, shares practical ways to find steadiness when life feels overwhelming. We explore the power of stillness, journaling, grounding, accepting reality, and activating faith—and how these simple but meaningful practices can help us process difficult emotions rather than become consumed by them.We also talk about letting go of what we cannot change, finding peace in the middle of uncertainty, and discovering that living “fully alive” doesn't mean having a life without problems. Sometimes, it means learning how to move through the storms while still making room for joy, purpose, hope, and peace.Angie's message is ultimately about more than surviving adversity. It's about discovering practical ways to keep moving forward and becoming more intentional about how we live—even when the waters around us aren't calm.If you're going through a difficult season, or know someone who is, this conversation offers perspective, encouragement, and tools you can begin putting into practice.🎙️ Part 2 of my conversation with Angie Feuerstein on The Raw Vibe.

Navigating Life’s Storms with Angie Feuerstein — Part 1What happens when life takes you through a storm you never expected—and you find yourself struggling just to keep moving forward?In Part 1 of this powerful conversation on The Raw Vibe, I sit down with Angie Feuerstein, author of Navigating the Storm: Journal to Action for the Sensitive Soul and a two-time breast cancer survivor.Angie opens up about her personal journey through difficult seasons of life, including the eight-year period she describes as a time of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and emotionally storm-tossed. We talk about what it means to acknowledge pain rather than ignore it, how surviving cancer can change your perspective on life, and why simply getting through a difficult experience isn't always the same as truly healing.We also explore Angie’s experience as a highly sensitive person and how heightened emotions can sometimes feel overwhelming—but can also become a source of strength and deeper awareness.This is an honest conversation about breast cancer, resilience, emotional challenges, sensitivity, faith, and finding a way forward when life doesn't go according to plan.And this is only Part 1.🎙️ Join us for Part 1 of my conversation with Angie Feuerstein on The Raw Vibe.

What if your skin is telling you a story about what’s happening inside your body?I’m joined by Natalie Novak-Bauss, Co-Founder, celebrity aesthetician, certified aesthetician, master organic gardener, and clean beauty pioneer, and Ron Webb, Co-Founder, aerospace engineer, and formulation scientist behind KPS Essentials.Natalie’s journey into clean beauty began with a startling question. In 1987, while working for a high-end skincare brand, she witnessed a product dissolve carpet after an earthquake. It made her wonder: if these chemicals can damage fabric, what are they doing to our skin? That moment sparked more than 30 years of work developing skincare designed to nourish rather than disrupt the skin.Ron came to skincare from a completely different world. With a background in aerospace engineering at The Boeing Company, Ron brought his experience with precision science into plant-drug research and holistic animal wound care. That unique combination of engineering and botanical science ultimately led to the development of DermaNū Technology®, KPS Essentials’ proprietary approach to nutrient delivery.Together, Natalie and Ron challenge the idea that skincare is simply about looking good.We explore the fascinating connection between chronic stress, the nervous system, inflammation, lymphatic health, environmental toxins, aging, and the condition of our skin. We also discuss how systemic health and lifestyle choices can influence what we see on the outside—and whether the future of skincare may be less about covering up problems and more about understanding what the body is communicating.In This Episode, We Explore:• How chronic stress can affect skin health and contribute to visible changes• The connection between the nervous system, inflammation, and skin• Why your skin can provide clues about your internal health• How environmental factors and potentially irritating ingredients can affect the skin• The role of the lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage in overall wellness• What makes organic, nutrient-focused skincare different• The science and development behind DermaNū Technology®• How nutrient micronization may influence topical delivery• The relationship between skin health, systemic wellness, and healthy aging• Why addressing what's happening inside the body may be an important part of caring for what's happening on the outsideThis conversation goes far beyond beauty. It's about understanding the relationship between skin health and overall wellness, and asking a bigger question:Is your skin simply something you see—or is it communicating something you need to hear?If you're interested in skin health, chronic stress, inflammation, organic skincare, holistic health, functional wellness, healthy aging, skincare technology, lymphatic health, or the connection between the nervous system and the skin, this episode is for you.🎧 Subscribe to The Raw Vibe Podcast for more conversations, and explore the ideas that can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us.About Our GuestsNatalie Novak-BaussCo-Founder • Celebrity Aesthetician • Clean Beauty PioneerWith more than three decades in the aesthetics and skincare industry, Natalie has dedicated her career to developing clean, effective skincare while making professional-level results more accessible.

When Caring for Someone With Dementia Means Learning to Care for Yourself TooAlzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia don’t just change the life of the person diagnosed—they can transform the lives of everyone who loves and cares for them.In this powerful episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, Chuck Tuck sits down with James Sylvan Russell and Carol Hosler for an honest and deeply personal conversation about Alzheimer’s, dementia caregiving, family, love, loss, resilience, and the importance of supporting the caregiver as much as the person receiving care.James shares his firsthand experience caring for a loved one with dementia and the lessons he learned about the emotional and practical challenges caregivers face. We explore the loneliness, stress, exhaustion, and uncertainty that can accompany dementia caregiving—and why caregivers need their own support system to avoid becoming isolated and overwhelmed.A central part of our conversation is the four pillars of a Love Team: Care, Prepare, Share, and Repair.These four principles offer a practical framework for building a community around someone living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia while also giving the primary caregiver the support they desperately need.CARE — Commit to being present and providing meaningful support.PREPARE — Learn how to connect with someone living with dementia through memories, music, stories, photographs, familiar objects, and meaningful experiences.SHARE — Communicate with other members of the support team, share experiences, celebrate successes, and learn from challenges.REPAIR — Recognize when something isn't working, adapt, try new approaches, and continually improve the caregiving experience.Carol and Jim also share their deeply personal journey of love, caregiving, loss, and finding meaning through one of life's most difficult chapters.This conversation is about much more than Alzheimer’s or dementia. It's about human connection, compassion, community, and the understanding that no caregiver should have to do this alone.Whether you are caring for a parent, spouse, partner, family member, or friend living with dementia—or know someone who is—this episode offers hope, perspective, and practical ideas for creating a stronger support network.🎧 Listen to or watch this important conversation on The Raw Vibe Podcast.If this episode helps you or someone you know, please LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to The Raw Vibe Podcast.
