Today on the Podcast, Getting to the Root:

My mama likes to joke that of all her three children, I was the one who couldn't stop asking questions. She'd answer one and I'd roll right in with another ... and another ... and another. "But, why? What then? How come? Who, mama? Where? When?" On and on it would go. Gotta love kids!

Turns out that curiosity would serve me well later on in life, although my husband would tell you our first date (thanks to Match.com, believe it or not) was like an inquisition. So, there's that. Every strength has its weakness, but, I digress ...

Keep Asking Questions:

If you're anything like me and you're also hungry to understand why, to see the big picture, to discover how it's all interconnected than you, too, may hit up against some real edges sitting in an overworked hospital where (too often, not always) the focus is on numbing the symptoms versus treating the cause and you're out the door in 15minutes flat.

Which is why I've relished the times I've gotten to connect with wellness practitioners whose working environment, business model, and wholistic education allow for more time to slow down and truly hear their patients' histories, current circumstances, and intuition. To take an approach that integrates Mind, Body, Spirit.

Hearing Inner Wisdom:

Speaking with new friend, Dr. Emily FitzGerald, is no different. Emily is a Naturopathic Doctor based out of Toronto who brings a lightness and a confidence to her patients, despite them feeling burned out or overwhelmed. And while we have very different specialities, totally different educational backgrounds, what I loved about our conversation was just how much overlap there was between our approach and our clients.

If you've ever struggled with the roller coaster of dieting, the devastation of infertility, the day-to-day decision fatigue of running a business or the pressures of always feeling "on" even when you're not — than this is the episode for you. Emily brings an empathy and an enthusiasm that is as comforting as it is contagious.

• Why women are running on empty now more than ever
