Wellness begins with listening to your body, and in this inspiring episode, host Janice Saunders welcomes Monife' Marshall, founder of Yoga by Monife'  and certified nutritional wellness coach. Monife' shares her powerful healing journey—from chronic pain after a near-fatal car accident to discovering yoga as a path toward physical and emotional freedom. Together, they explore the connection between body and mind, the importance of breathwork, the healing power of touch, and practical ways to honor your body through self-awareness, posture, and daily mindfulness. This conversation reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s about slowing down, tuning in, and creating space for wellness in every season of life.   ⏱ Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and Replay Intro 00:31 Spring Into Health Challenge 01:19 Podcast Mission and Host Intro 03:29 Meet Monifa Marshall 04:27 Self-Hug and Self-Care 05:51 Car Accident to Chronic Pain 11:09 Yoga Heals and Lifestyle Shift 17:22 Mind Body Tools and Chakras 22:42 Mudras Assists and Accessibility 25:07 Chronic Pain Facts and Tips 27:01 Yoga Basics for Pain Relief 31:45 Posture Breathing and Body Scan 33:14 Chair Yoga Access 34:24 Pain Relief Options 35:31 Protein For Strength 37:25 Hydration Habit Stack 39:04 Breakfast Bio Individuality 41:17 Build A Balanced Plate 42:57 Sandwiching And Compassion 47:56 Moderation And Yuka App 51:09 Sleep As Wellness Pillar 52:17 Love And Wellness Partnership 56:27 Positive Self Talk Gratitude 58:26 Final Thanks And Share   💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How yoga can relieve chronic pain and strengthen the mind-body connection The importance of posture, breathwork, and self-awareness in daily health How to listen to your body and practice mindfulness through movement Simple tips for hydration, balanced eating, and reducing processed foods The role of positive self-talk and gratitude in lasting wellness   🔗 Resources & Mentions: Yoga by Monifa: www.yogabymonife.com YUKA App: Scan food labels for nutritional quality and safer alternatives Mudra Deck Recommendation: Learn hand mudras for meditation and healing Seasonal Sisters Wellness Manifestation Toolkit – Janice’s coaching course for holistic self-care   Featured Invitation Join the Spring Into Health Five-Day Challenge March 16–20 Five simple, soulful actions to refresh your energy, reset your habits, and reconnect with your wellbeing — inside a supportive community of Seasonal Sisters.
