Episode 23- Hormones, Fatigue, Identity Loss & Healing Naturally with Brittany Cano

What if the exhaustion, brain fog, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and feeling of not recognizing yourself anymore isn’t just part of getting older?

In this powerful episode of Two Girls and a Cup of Wellness, we sit down with wellness strategist Brittany Cano, who is changing the conversation around women’s health, aging, and what true healing actually looks like.

Episode 22- Burned Out? Here’s Why You Need to Get Away More Often with Crissy and Marie

What happens when you finally step away from the noise of everyday life and remember what it feels like to simply be? In this episode, Marie and Crissy share reflections from their recent travels through Italy and Spain, but this conversation goes far beyond beautiful scenery and unforgettable meals. It became a powerful reminder of how disconnected many of us have become from the way life was actually meant to feel. From long dinners without rushing, walking everywhere, spending time in nature, connecting with different cultures, and truly being present… traveling opened our eyes to something bigger: wellness isn’t always found in another supplement, workout plan, or quick fix. Sometimes healing begins when we slow down enough to actually experience life. We talk about why so many European cultures prioritize rest, connection, vacation, and joy as part of everyday living, while so many people here live in a constant state of stress, overworking, and burnout. In this conversation we explore: • Why getting away is essential for mental, emotional, and physical health • The powerful connection between slowing down and nervous system regulation • What different cultures can teach us about joy, presence, and longevity • Why food, movement, and living simply often create better health outcomes • How changing your environment can completely shift your perspective on life This episode is a reminder that wellness is not just about what you’re doing to heal your body… it’s also about how you’re living your life. Maybe the reset you’ve been looking for isn’t complicated. Maybe you just need to slow down, disconnect, and start living a little differently. Because life was never meant to be rushed. Tune in and come travel with us.

Episode 21- Surviving was never the Goal, HEALING was with Tiffany Roth

What if healing after cancer meant more than just getting through treatment? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Tiffany Roth to talk about her experience navigating breast cancer and how her diagnosis became the catalyst for completely rethinking what true healing really means. We dive into the conversations that do not happen enough in the cancer world… the connection between emotional health, gut health, lifestyle, nervous system regulation, alternative therapies, and learning how to become your own biggest advocate. Tiffany shares how her diagnosis forced her to look deeper, make radical changes, rebuild trust with her body, and begin healing in ways that went far beyond conventional treatment. This conversation is for anyone who has been touched by cancer, whether you are walking through it yourself, supporting someone you love, or learning how to take a more proactive role in your own health. Because healing is not just about surviving. It is about understanding the body, processing emotions, creating an internal environment for wellness, and learning how to truly thrive. Inside this episode we talk about: ✨ Breast cancer and early detection ✨ Gut health and the body’s internal terrain ✨ Emotional healing and unresolved stress ✨ Alternative and integrative healing approaches ✨ Learning to advocate for yourself ✨ Moving from survival mode into true healing At Two Girls and a Cup of Wellness, we believe these conversations matter. Our goal is to empower women with education, awareness, and a deeper understanding that healing is never one dimensional. Because surviving was never the goal. Healing was. #BreastCancerHealing #HolisticHealth #CancerRecovery #GutHealth #EmotionalHealing #BreastCancerAwareness #HealingJourney #IntegrativeHealth #WellnessPodcast #CancerThrivers
