In this first part of a two-part interview, Mint delves into a candid conversation with her friend Julia Christine about her career journey. Julia had secured a job in New York City that many would envy for its apparent fun factor. Over the years, she climbed the ranks, but she began to realize that what was once enjoyable for others had lost its luster for her. Julia found herself at nearly 300 pounds, grappling with suicidal thoughts, and using work as a coping mechanism to avoid confronting her own issues. This introspective discussion sheds light on the toll that pursuing a seemingly desirable career can take on one's mental and physical health, and the importance of recognizing when a change is needed. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Mint and Julia continue their conversation about Julia's journey towards finding fulfillment and wellness.

Mint interviews Katie Farinas, a nurse, yoga teacher, and mom of two who realized, after years of burying her intuition and listening to everyone else, that her career isn't aligned with her true purpose. Listen as Katie talks about the steps she is taking to leave her nursing career, how she gained the clarity she needed, and why mindfulness and meditation will help you along the way. Katie Farinas is a mom, seasoned nurse, a yoga teacher and host of the podcast, Mom On The Verge. Katie has been passionate about all thing’s health and wellness from a young age. However, after battling postpartum depression after the birth of her first child, becoming a chronic migraine sufferer in her mid 30’s, and parenting a teenager with significant mental and physical health struggles, she was forced to examine the impact our mental health has on our physical health and how intimately those two things are connected. Taking a deep dive into the mind body connection Katie became a certified yoga teacher, a meditation facilitator and a warrior for improving mental health. Katie believes in the power of authentically, sharing our truth to help heal ourselves and others, the importance of community and how love and compassion can spread outward like ripples in a pond to create a kinder, safer and more equitable world. In her free time Katie enjoys practicing yoga, hiking, traveling, hanging with her kids and husband and reading all things spiritual. Listen to her podcast "Mom on the Verge" ⁠here⁠.

Join us as Mint interviews Heidi Low, who lost her two-year-old daughter 20 years ago to a terminal illness. She went from being a married, stay at home mom to her sweet daughter and 3 bonus children to a completely single woman working and going to school full time. She spent the next eight years researching like crazy, trying everything from therapy to energy healing. Most weren’t directly related to grief but focused on growth – using her deep pain as a catalyst for creating something good.  Born out of that work, she walked away from an established career in health care policy to start 'Ohana Oasis, a non-profit serving bereaved parents nationwide with weeklong retreats. What began as her facilitating one small retreat, has expanded to retreats held regionally across the United States, a leadership training program and new cohorts being fully supported by trained alumni leaders. Ten years later she’s developed, facilitated, and overseen more than 15 retreats.   Click here to dream up your ideal retreat. You can also find Heidi at heidilow.com or on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/heidichristinalow/.
