From Covert Agent to Spiritual Mentor: The Real Work of Integration. It’s easy to get inspired. We read the books, follow the wellness trends, listen to podcasts, and feel that spark. ✨

But the truth? Those sparks don’t last unless we integrate them into our everyday lives.

In this week’s conversation, I sit down with Sylvie (Selvia) Filteau, M.A, Rev., former covert agent with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police turned spiritual mentor, priestess, and psycho-spiritual counselor. Together, we dive into:

🌿 Why integration is integrity
🌿 How to remember you’re already whole (not broken)
🌿 The difference between knowing and truly embodying change
🌿 Practical ways to bring inspiration down to earth in your daily life

If you’ve ever started strong on a wellness goal only to fall off track, this episode will help you see why the missing piece isn’t discipline. It’s integration.

Aging asks us to shift from external validation to internal validation.

That quote from my conversation with a friend and licensed professional counselor, Istra Bauza, has been echoing in my mind.

For much of life, we’re conditioned to measure our worth by outside signals: performance at work, appearance, likes on social media, and approval from others.

But midlife has a way of calling us back inward. The old strategies stop working. The scales, the praise, the external checkboxes — they don’t tell the whole story anymore.

Instead, the invitation is this:
To honor what feels authentic.
To choose goals rooted in meaning, not applause.
To build confidence from within rather than waiting for permission from outside.

It’s not easy, but it’s where real resilience and contentment live.

👉 What practices help you shift from external to internal validation?

🌿 Menopause is more than hot flashes.

When my guest, Istra Bauza, said, “This transition isn’t the end—it’s the moment you become more of you,” I knew we had touched on something every woman deserves to hear.

In our latest conversation on the Wellness Inspired Podcast, we go beyond symptoms to explore the deeper shifts of midlife: identity, boundaries, self-acceptance, and the freedom that comes when you stop seeking external validation.

Too often, menopause is framed as something to “fix” or hide. But what if it’s actually an invitation—to pause, reassess, and live more authentically than ever before?

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
🌱 Why menopause is more than symptoms—it’s an identity shift
🌱 How hormonal changes invite emotional + psychological growth
🌱 The surprising freedom many women find from external validation
🌱 Why self-acceptance is the real key to aging well

Whether you’re navigating this transition yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and a refreshing perspective on midlife.

💚 “Menopause isn’t an ending—it’s an awakening.”

When things feel too loud, I don’t need more productivity hacks. I need a reset outside, in motion, unplugged. This is where I sort my thoughts. This is where I come back to myself. 💚

We all have different ways of grounding and recalibrating. For me, it’s nature, running or walking on the trail, and just being quiet for a minute.

⬇️ Where do you reset when life gets full?

06/25/2025

My body stretched all night like it had its own agenda.
Turns out, it did, and it might be smarter than me.

Ever notice your body reaching, yawning, or sigh-stretching without you even thinking about it? That, my friend, is pandiculation. And it’s not just some random reflex. It’s your nervous system, your muscles, and even your energy body working together to reset.

🌿 Why spontaneous stretching isn’t random
🌿 How it helps reset your nervous system + brain-body connection
🌿 What Traditional Chinese Medicine says about Liver Qi + flexibility
🌿 And yes, what your dog can teach you about stress relief

This one’s for the wellness nerds, the energy curious, and anyone craving a more intuitive way to reconnect with their body.

Join me in this episode of the "Did You Know series: Why That Unplanned Stretch Might Be More Than You Think"

Let’s be real: wellness isn’t always cheap.
But neither is ignoring your body until it screams.

The clients I work with aren’t careless. They’re just busy, stretched, and tired of quick fixes that don’t stick. They’ve spent money on the trendy supplements, the courses, the gear…

What do they really need?

🌱 Support that’s realistic
🌱 Habits that last longer than a weekend
🌱 Permission to show up as they are, not when they’re “ready”

The true cost isn’t the price of coaching, acupuncture, gym membership, healthy food, and wellness retreats. It’s the energy lost in the meantime. 💚

What’s one small shift that helps you stay well before things break down?

06/11/2025

What if wellness wasn’t about doing more, but doing less, with more curiosity?

🌟 Not less effort. Less pressure.

In a world of infrared saunas, supplements, breathwork, journaling, and cold plunges, it’s easy to feel like you're doing everything right… and still wondering why you're stuck.

I’ve been there. So have many of my patients.

In my episode of the Wellness Inspired Podcast, I shared a moment that really surprised me: a simple sound bath that gave me something I didn’t know I was looking for, clarity. 🧘‍♀️

It was the bowls, breathwork, and mindset. You see, I brought in no expectations, no checklist. Just curiosity. Since then, I’ve been approaching wellness with a little more breath and a lot less urgency.

Here’s what I’m practicing:
Starting with intention: What draws me to this?
Trying one thing at a time: Even when I’m tempted to stack.
Observing instead of fixing: What do I notice?
Releasing what doesn’t stick: Without guilt.
Reflecting often: Did this actually nourish me?

This shift away from performance and toward presence has changed how I relate to my own health. It's not perfect, but it's more sustainable. More honest.

And maybe that’s the real point of it all. 💚

Truth? A good night’s sleep wasn’t cutting it anymore.
I didn’t need rest. I needed a pause.
A full stop. A chance to let the noise settle and feel like myself again.

So before the cruise, I set one intention: pause.
And this time, I honored it.

Life had been moving fast, and challenges were taking up too much mental space. I was always “on.” Even downtime didn’t feel restful anymore.
Not even a run could clear it or a weekend getaway.

But this wellness river cruise was different.
It wasn’t an escape. It was a reset.

I wandered through the cobblestone streets of Budapest and Salzburg.
I biked Vienna’s artist canal, soaking in the architecture and quiet corners, making the city feel like a living museum.

I pedaled past apple orchards and vineyards near Krems, explored the fairytale charm of Dürnstein, and rolled through the countryside outside Passau.

And sometimes, I just wrapped up in a blanket and let the world float by.

I ate fresh, locally sourced food.
I shared meals and laughter with the best company.
I slowed down long enough to truly feel like me again.

And in that stillness, I remembered something important:
Resilience doesn’t always come from doing more.
1Sometimes it comes from pressing pause.

💬 When was the last time you gave yourself a real pause, not just rest, but space?

04/19/2025

I’ve been guiding others to set intentions for the Wellness River Cruise. So it only feels right to share mine, too.��My intention is simple, but layered:
✨ To pause.
✨ To explore.
✨ To discover.
✨ To transform.

This isn’t just a vacation. It’s a moment in time to step away from the noise and reconnect with what I value most: movement, reflection, and meaningful connection.

I created this experience with others in mind, but I’m also walking in it. As a woman, a coach, an acupuncturist, and someone who deeply believes in living with intention.

I don’t need this trip to be “life-changing.” I just want it to be real. Honest. Grounding.

So here’s to slowing down just enough to listen. So we can return with more clarity, strength, and inspiration. 💚
