This episode might not be for everyone—it’s not your usual upbeat, happy-go-lucky vibe. Instead, it’s raw, real, and maybe just what you need to hear right now.

This year has been a mix of blessings and tough times—moments where we’ve all felt at our lowest. Times when we’ve been so hard on ourselves that we’ve made ourselves feel inadequate. It’s okay to feel down. It’s okay to feel “meh.” Navigating the murky waters of emotions, thoughts, and communication—whether with others or ourselves—is never easy.

My hope is that this episode resonates with you.

If it does, and you feel up for it, leaving a review would mean the world to me.

With love and light, my friends.

Welcome back you lovely listeners! I am your host Gabrielle Brown and in this episode we chat about the communication signals our bodies share with us in order to know what we are needing to function properly.

Not only physically but mentally we are consistently dealing with stress day in and day out. This can easily become more manageable by starting your journey in listening to your bodies' needs and signals in order for you to feel more in control in your day to day life.

Lets become more in tune with our mind, body, and soul as you tune in and reconnect with yourself and nature. We further discuss ways that taking care of ourselves can spark respect and interest into taking better care of our environment and our oceans. Simple changes at home can heavily redirect our dying coral reefs and shark populations into protected and healthy ones.
