🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨
Relationships aren’t just “nice to have”… they’re core to wellness.

In today’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, I’m joined by Michelle Garraway, RSW (PACT therapist + founder of The Relationship Agency) for a powerful conversation on why interpersonal connection impacts everything—from stress and resilience to sleep and overall health.

🎥 This magic clip starts right here: “It really is at the core of everything…”
…and in just 31 seconds, you’ll hear why strong relationships aren’t extra—they’re essential.

✨ In the full episode, we talk about:
• What “secure functioning” looks like in real life
• Why agreements can be more effective than boundaries
• Co-regulation + the nervous system (and why it matters)
• Simple daily practices to feel more connected

💧 “You don’t have to be perfect to execute.”

That powerful line came from my conversation with Nita Talwar, founder of Uppy!, in this week’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami.

Yes — we talk about hydration, dehydration symptoms, electrolytes, morning water before coffee, and how even mild dehydration can affect your energy, focus, mood, and sleep.

But we also talked about something deeper:
✨ You don’t need perfection to improve your health.
✨ You don’t need all the answers to start.
✨ You just need one small step.

Hydration is one of the simplest, most overlooked foundations of wellness — and you don’t have to do it perfectly to benefit from it.

Start with one glass of water tomorrow morning.
Start imperfectly.
Start anyway.

✨ New episode of Thursday Tea with Sami is live ✨

I’m so excited to share this conversation with Kristin Derus Dore, a biofeedback practitioner who beautifully explains how stress shows up in the body — and how we can support our nervous system instead of constantly pushing through.

In this episode, we talk about:
☕ Why sleep is one of the most powerful stress tools
🧠 Fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-digest
🌿 What biofeedback actually is (in real, everyday language)
🤍 Simple ways to calm your nervous system that actually feel doable

Kristin’s approach is grounded, compassionate, and incredibly practical. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or just curious about how stress impacts your body, this one is for you.

Sleep struggles are more common than we think — and often have more to do with stress and routine than we realize.

This thoughtful article from Bailey Sleep shares practical insights on short-term insomnia and small changes that can make a real difference. I was grateful to contribute a few thoughts to the piece.

If sleep has felt elusive lately, this is a helpful read.

✨ “You know your body.” ✨

What if the plant you keep walking past is actually trying to tell you something?

In this clip from Thursday Tea with Sami, herbalist Michelle McAninch reminds us of something we’ve been taught to forget:
👉 Your body knows.
👉 Curiosity is powerful.
👉 Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes healing starts with listening… and noticing what’s growing right in front of us 🌱

🌱 A new year invites reflection — not pressure.

The latest episode of Thursday Tea with Sami is live, and it’s a conversation I think many of us need right now.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sandeep Nath about renewal, energy, and reconnecting with what gives life meaning — beyond productivity, hustle, or constant striving.

This episode is especially timely as we move into a new year and ask ourselves:
👉 How do I want to feel this year?
👉 What actually restores me?

I’d love to hear what stood out for you.

At Dignus Wellness, we often remind people that wellness isn’t about chasing a number on the scale or striving for perfection. It’s about building strength, resilience, and habits that fit into real life — especially when life is busy, stressful, or unpredictable.

In this week’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, Dr. Samia Estrada sits down with wellness professional Fjorino Musaku to talk about what sustainable, strength-centered wellness really looks like. From reframing movement as something you get to do (not something you’re punished with), to approaching nutrition without guilt or obsession, this conversation offers a compassionate and practical approach to long-term health.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of dieting, burnout, or starting over, this episode may offer a new perspective — one rooted in strength, self-compassion, and consistency rather than restriction.

Because wellness isn’t a destination. It’s a relationship you build with your body — one sustainable choice at a time.

🎙️ Today’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami is live!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Haley Parker, an integrative medicine leader and educator, to talk about East Asian Medicine, acupuncture, stress, burnout, pain, and what it really means to live in balance.

One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation:
👉 Balance isn’t something you reach and stay in — it’s something you practice in motion.

We also talk about:
• What acupuncture really feels like
• Why stress shows up in the body
• Movement as medicine
• Women’s health across the lifespan
• Prevention and early education in healthcare
