Never Miss A Monday

Never Miss A Monday

Join me, Stacey Garcia, Mom, Personal Trainer, Reiki Master Practitioner, Integrative Health Coach, Cancer Survivor/Thriver, and your host of Never Miss A Monday. In this podcast, we discuss and dissect the intersection of mind, body, and spirit. I have always believed Mondays are magic… they set the tone for the week ahead of you. I’ve always lived a healthy life, so when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, it was explained to me that my lifestyle choices gave me a strong chance to live with this diagnosis. I was to continue my non-negotiables: plant-based eating, exercising, meditating, reading, connecting with loved ones, and making time for self-care—especially on Monday. This season, you will hear uplifting and transformative stories from incredible individuals who will share valuable insights and practical tips on not just making it through tough times but indeed flourishing in the face of adversity. Are you ready to transform and thrive through exploring alternative healing methods? If so, this podcast is for you. Whether you are currently grappling with a health issue, seeking effective strategies to enhance your overall well-being, or a seasoned wellness enthusiast looking to deepen your knowledge, join us as we explore the journey of resilience and empowerment together.
