Today's guest is Ashley Searing. She teaches kindergarten and owns RejuveNate - Plants & Wellness. RejuveNATE debuted in July 2020 after she lost her brother Nate to mental illness in February 2020. After Nate passed, she wanted to do something to reach people who may also struggle with similar things in their life so she created RejuveNate. They therapeutically hand-paint all the pottery that comes out of the shop and pair them with plants to bring awareness to mental health & to instill positive outlets into people's lives to combat symptoms. Ashley shares her story and some tangible advice for simple self-care and mental health aids. We get a little spiritual and discuss the signs we get from the "other side", and overall just keep it real and raw about mental health.

The Shut the Gut Up podcast is back for a limited time, limited series release. For the next 10 weeks, I will be dropping new episodes every Thursday. And the theme? Healing girl era. We are all healing in some form. I think the healing girl era gets this persona that you’ve recently been broken up with or left a relationship and you’re on a journey back to yourself. But truthfully, we can “lose ourselves” in this journey of life simply because there are a lot of freaking opinions, contradicting research, changing circumstances, what have you out there and it’s sometimes hard to remember who we are underneath that all. To stick with our personal values and philosophy when the world is set up to make us question ourselves. So this limited series healing girl era will dive deep into topics like confidence and boundaries, where often the deeper self-work comes into play. But also the metaphorical healing shit, like a bomb-ass episode on keeping plants alive and working with nature, which can so deeply resemble human life. Thanks for coming along on this journey. shutthegutup.com
