A Coach, a Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk Into a Podcast

Today, Halloween is more about dressing up in costumes and trick-or-treating. In the past, it was referred to as Samhain and All Hallows Eve, it marked the return of the spirits of the dead to their homes; wearing costumes or disguises (building bonfires and gathering in groups) was meant to protect oneself from spirits intent on harm. The day(s) after Halloween was—and is—known to many cultures as a day to remember and honor loved ones who have passed.
Expert-in-Residence Athanasia Medenas, spiritual guide, joins Mike and Dr. Helena Fowler, DCN on A Coach, a Nutritionist, and an Expert Walk Into a Podcast to talk about our connection to our ancestors.
We dive into the profound connections that link us to our ancestry and explore the deep—and often unspoken—bonds that start, stay, and end within the family. We are who we are because of the generations who came before us. That may be a source of pride, curiosity, indifference, sadness or so many other emotions for us … it may even be a complete unknown.
