  • Eat To Heal Review

    I look forward to Sara Jane’s new episodes each week and the latest one with Serena Poon was no disappointment! I enjoyed hearing her personal story about her parents and how that led her to taking initiative to better her health from the inside out. For the past couple years I have made it a point to shop at local farmers markets and increase variation in my meals and this episode confirmed I’m on the right path towards living well. Thanks for your insight and expertise!

  • Disappointed

    For someone who has chosen to consume audio content from a podcast, don’t keep telling your listeners “you should be watching on YouTube”. If you wanted to have a YouTube channel, then do that. But don’t start an audio platform then choose topics that require a visual. You have lost a subscriber.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#68 - Two Sides of Surrogacy
Q: How did the match and the intake process feel to you as the surrogate and as an intended parent?
The process felt collaborative and transparent, with emphasis on energy and honesty during interviews, plus a structured, step-by-step policy that reduced limbo and built trust between the parties.
#68 - Two Sides of Surrogacy
Q: What does readiness feel like in your body?
The surrogate describes a physical sense of ease and a tingling sensation on the way home after deciding she's ready, followed by a calm, aligned mindset once she commits to moving forward with Twinkle.
#66 - I’m Not Your Chinese Medicine Girl: Sara Jane Answers It All
Q: Hi, Sara. As you mentioned in one of your podcasts, dabbiness is caused by a variety of reasons. Wet facial masks that you apply to your face for 10 minutes or overnight are very popular. Does this type of facial mask cause dabbiness?
No, there are different forms of dabbiness in Chinese medicine; the common internal dampness (shi qi) comes from digestion and lifestyle, not from external facial masks. The point is to look at digestion and overall balance.
#62 - The Feng Shui Guide to House Hunting — with Marie Diamond
Q: What role do pets play in assessing a home's energy during a house hunt?
Dogs tend to seek positive, active spaces indicating good energy, while cats may be drawn to negative areas, and observing their reactions helps gauge the space's balance.
#62 - The Feng Shui Guide to House Hunting — with Marie Diamond
Q: What should you do to really test a space beyond the initial impression?
Walk through the space for at least a half hour without the real estate agent, observe how different areas affect your energy and your family's comfort, and consider doing muscle testing or other intuitive checks.
