Adaptogens over Alcohol

CHEERS TO A DRY JANUARY!

Hi everyone, it’s podcast host, Marissa here!


Happy New Year and welcome back to the wellness on purpose podcast.. for season 4!! I am so excited for this incredible year ahead and for our podcast to continue to support you along your wellness journey. We have so many amazing community & brand experts lined up for this season and I can’t wait to share so be sure to follow us on social and subscribe to our channel to stay up to date!! For our first episode in 2022, we are chatting all about adaptogens over alcohol. Quick backstory, I decided on January 2nd of 2021 that I was going to try living life without alcohol. What I expected to be a Dry January, turned into a year of sobriety. This was the best decision I have made for my mental health to this day. Now, I wouldn’t have made it through the year without the help of our friends at Kite which is why I have asked the founders, Michelle Tirmandi and Claudia Marion to join us for this episode.

We've all been there. You set a goal for yourself to work out more but you can't seem to get into the routine. The workouts might be too hard or you might not have the energy for it. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that at least 1 in 4 adults do not get enough physical activity. If you're inactive, you carry a 20% to 30% greater risk of premature death compared to more active lifestyles. If you have trouble finding the time or energy to work out, VILPA may be a solution for you.

Who run the world? Girls! March is Women's History Month, and March 8th is International Women’s Day. What better time than this to lift up the women around us! Because of the entrepreneurial courage of our founder Jo Anne & the continued efforts of our now owners & team (which is over 80% women), we have been serving Peterborough & The Kawarthas for over 45 years! We are thankful not only for the amazing women in our team, but for the meaningful connections we have made with so many inspiring women in our community. It is important to us to continue fostering an environment where women feel safe, supported & inspired. We are excited to look to the future and continue to evolve to meet the needs of our community.
