WE ARE BACK!!!

The holiday season is a time for family, faith, food, giving, and stress.

It is a wonderful time of year for experiencing a wide range of emotions.

Emotions are a natural part of the human experience. These complex reactions that involve feelings, behaviors, and physiological changes impact almost every aspect of our existence.

The National Center for Emotional Wellness defines emotional wellness as "an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our feelings, and our ability to manage effectively through challenges and change."

Understanding emotions can help us unlock our true potential, live our best lives more consistently…and enjoy our holiday season to its fullest.

Welcome to SEASON THREE of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!!

In this special premier episode, we sat down with Dr Elisha Goldstein, a prominent mindfulness teacher and clinical psychologist. He is the author of numerous bestselling books, creator of a popular YouTube channel, and founder of the breakthrough emotional health therapeutic coaching program Uncover the Power Within.

For the last 20 years, he has been at the forefront of integrating curriculum and training in the art and science of mindful living.

Join us as we speak to Elisha about his connection to the natural world, his journey through adversity to find purpose in helping others, and his incredible mental and emotional health work.

He discusses the importance of getting outside to enhance emotional wellness, the power of building a strong community, and how our current lifestyle can leave us feeling overwhelmed.

We found ourselves "feeling all the feels" in this incredible conversation.

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

One of the most common challenges I hear from both patients and providers is that the health and wellness fields "operate in silos."

When teams, departments, organizations, or individual providers work together, we can create the strongest and safest care systems.

But how do we bridge the gap? How do we "come together?"

Welcome to this SPECIAL EDITION of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.

The Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) and the National Wellness Institute (NWI) came together to host the August 2024 Annual Wellness Summit in Chicago.

Mark had another opportunity to gather with hundreds of wellness professionals and sat down with multiple speakers, leaders, and change-makers who made the Annual Wellness Summit successful.

He even led a nature walk for around 60 attendees and was blown away by the continued excitement about bringing nature into mainstream wellness programming.

Join us as we speak with WELCOA Executive Director Ryan Picarella, Speaker and Author Kristen Hadeed, Physician Eduardo Sanchez, Kaleidoscope Training Center's Jesse Greenfield, and Jenie Michael, Workplace Wellness Authority Ryan Wolf, Behavioral Coach and Best-selling Author Sean Foy, Registered Dietitian and Speaker Lauren Fleck, and wellness leadership expert Stephanie Gularte.

These powerful conversations were truly inspiring- covering topics ranging from developing through failure, learning through play, the need for numbers and stories in research, finding your approach to increased well-being, and how "none of us is as good as all of us."

There is also a HUGE announcement that is certain to change the landscape of the wellness industry…

Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. We are trying to get these fantastic guest conversations to as many people as possible.

Stay tuned. Season Three is right around the corner...

We appreciate you all.

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, “Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.”

It is always tough to let go of a season of this podcast, the amazing guests and conversations, the continued learning and developing, and getting time to talk about such personally meaningful topics.

I found a bit of solace in the above quote today. Letting go of a season only allows us to rest, recharge, and grow beyond our current state.

We are beyond humbled by the response to season two. Not only are we hearing from exponentially more listeners from around the world, but amazing humans keep revealing themselves as potential guests.

One of our hopes for this project is to offer an experience that is “different and fun” for all of our guests. We are almost at 100% of our guests saying some version of this phrase, with so many asking if they can come back on. As an interviewer, there is no greater honor.

Welcome to Episode FIFTY of the Nature of Wellness™️ Podcast.

We wanted to again sit down and catch up with one another, discuss why this season has been successful, and some of the behind-the-scenes happenings of the show.

Join us as we answer listener questions, and discuss the power of change and harvest, the need for community, and some of our favorite moments from the season.

We dive into some of our guest conversations, how we have grown during this season, and a bit of “what’s next” for season three.

Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. It will help us extend the reach of these powerful messages.

Also, please make sure to follow us across social media @natureofwellness to get updates, new content, and a compilation episode we recorded at events in 2024.

Make sure to spend some time in the natural world. We will hopefully see you out there.

We appreciate you all.
