There is no one tougher you’d want on your side, even when she laughs at you! Though she states she has none, she most definitely has a set of laws my sisters and I call Ruthi’s Rules.

When we talk about healing we need to address the entirety of a person not just one aspect. Mind, body and spirit are interconnected and finding balance is key. Energy Medicine Practitioners Susan Hally and Maina Campos are here to help us balance and reset! This is Beek on being a HOLISTIC HEALER.</p><p><br></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Friendships are lifetime loves. The community you count on, the ones you turn to, outside of romantic relationships or family. Friendships are critical to your wellbeing. Friends are your emotional support, your course correctors, they help you grow and thrive. There is nothing more critical than the importance of friends when it comes to living a long healthy life. This podcast was inspired by my daughters and their friend groups that I have watched develop over the decades. I am in awe of their dynamic and the unconditional love they give to each other. For a Galentine’s gift we have Mollie Dixie Beek and Remi Bella Beek to discuss the importance of friendships. This is Beek on being BESTIES.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]>
