Conversations about food, health + wellness, culture, spirituality, community & trad lifestyle. Our goal is to share our experiences, and build a community focused on alternative health and ancestral, traditional living. "Paisanas" means country-women, or two women from the same country. For Vincenza + Kiki, this word represents not only our shared hometown connection, but also our mutual interests, and connotes an element of trust and openness, which we hope translates in our conversations.

<p>After a month-long hiatus, Vin & Kiki back with the hottest of topics! Breath, or breathwork, seems to be EVERYWHERE these days. Every wellness-inclined person (& their mom!) seems to be exploring the world of breath, which we believe to be a super powerful tool! In this episode, we share:</p> <p>- why we need to “learn” how to breathe<br> - how to incorporate breathwork into daily life<br> - breath supporting fitness routines and challenges<br> - why being a "mouth breather" is a bad thing (sorry, not sorry!)<br> - air quality, posture, and lack of strength has led to poor breathing<br> - jaw development and mewing (hint: everything comes back to your diet!!)<br> - <a href="https://twitter.com/hoodhealer/status/1250796197939343360">if you have breath, you have options</a><br> - breath as a mechanism for self-regulation<br> - the transmutation of energy through breath<br> - the vulnerability of breathing</p> <p><br> <strong>Tools & Resources mentioned:<br> </strong><a href="https://www.jrepodcast.com/episode/joe-rogan-experience-1506-james-nestor/">Joe Rogan Experience #1506 - James Nestor</a> - Vin's recommendation to dive deeper on the topic of breath<br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH8Bhws7cFU">Cat Meffan Yoga Breathing & Pranayama</a> - "all about breathing, starting with the basics"<br> <br> <strong>Additional sources of inspiration and info:<br> </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLqyReT479Q&list=PLBfRLLhSBb-CzEL15oT9KxgBU1MO9pP-B ">Breathe & Flow Breathwork playlist</a> - the next step in your intentional breathwork journey<br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Breath-New-Science-Lost-Art/dp/0735213615">James Nestor: Breathe: The New Science of a Lost Art</a> - "Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.

<p>This episode is brought to you by the courage to be uncomfortable! Freshly back a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico for Vin and with an upcoming trip to Mexico City for Kiki, the discussion of travel quickly evolved into a dissection of how our own self-image plays a part in the way we experience the world. We get into: <br> <br> - the judgement surrounding your destination or itinerary<br> - gaining perspective on your identity <br> - the ego-death that occurs when embracing the unknown<br> - the dissolution of the American or Canadian dream<br> - media manipulation on what is "safe" or "dangerous"<br> - implications of increasing globalism<br> - how Toronto has changed recently<br> - letting go of the need to be perfect, clean, or sterile <br> - our deep admiration for ESL immigrants<br> - the multicultural gift that is a restaurant's BOH </p> <p>And a big shout out to everyone's favourite... <br> <br> ""Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." - Anthony Bourdain ♥ <br> <br> <strong>Tools & Resources for travelling: <br> </strong><a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/">Atlas Obscura</a><strong> </strong>- the weirdest and the most wonderful travel destinations<strong><br> </strong><a href="https://www.theoutbound.com/kylefrost/anthony-bourdain-taught-us-how-to-travel">Anthony Bourdain Taught Us How To Travel</a> by Kyle Force - "His shows weren't about food, they were about embracing the "weirdness" of other cultures and not being afraid of what's different."<br> <a href="https://www.legalnomads.com/travel-resources/">Legal Nomads Travel Resources</a> - covers everything including accommodations, visas, emergency preparedness, safety, packing, and more<br> <a href="https://quoimedia.com/immigrants-face-crisis-of-the-withering-canadian-dream/">Immigrants Face Crisis of the Withering Canadian Dream</a> by Claudia Hepburn and Irfhan Rawji - Is the Canadian dream dead? <br> <br> <strong>Find us: <br> </strong><a href="https://instagram.com/paisanaspodcast">@paisanaspodcast</a> on Instagram <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/paisanaspodcast">@paisanaspodcast</a> on Twitter<br> </p> <p><br></p>
