  Nicole Brignolle, a beloved friend, mentor mom in the Restoration Home Community, and creator of the Lovely Bits Substack, joins Jennifer to talk about lessons learned from Christmas in Tuscany. The conversation with Nicole strikes right at the heart of so many values we espouse at the Restoration Home: quietness, rest, the gift of quiet, and shifting our values to gratefulness and connection.

• Healthy, Fit, and Nourished During the Holidays with Evgeniia Arasim

  Welcome to episode 162 with Evegniia Arasim. Evgenia joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about nourishing your body and your spirit during the Holidays. The Holidays can be so much about celebration that it can we almost feel pressure to "celebrate", sometimes to the detriment of our peace, our health, nourishing our bodies, and feeding our souls. ` This episode is all about ways you can nourish yourself body, soul, and spirit by enjoying good food in the Holidays in a way that maximises health and feeling good, removing distractions in lieu of rest, carving out quiet time with God, and choosing long term nourishment over immediate pleasure.  Health is not about a number. Health is about feeling alive and well, having energy and waking rested. It is not about deprivation or avoidance. Instead, it is about making all of your systems better: better sleep, timing walks after meals, removing distractions, choosing rest.  We hope that you enjoy this episode and that it inspires you to take authority over your health and well-being during the Holidays.
