Heartsong Fit With Vickie Maris | Healthy Ways to Address Stress


Heartsong Fit podcast is stress-relieving conversation for the stressed and stretched-too-thin listener. Your host, Vickie Maris, has been traveling a journey of improving fitness, mindfulness and overall health. With a busy career, farm and life as a musician, she was also involved in elder care that created a demand on her time and increased her stress levels. To address her stress and to keep "skin in the game," Vickie became a Beachbody Coach. That provided her with access to Shakeology at the coach's discounted rate. She continues to include a Shakeology shake in her morning routine and has now added a fitness program. Enjoy her stories and interviews as she shares her journey of living a less-stressed, and a healthier life.

While the primary content of this episode is recorded on location at Fox Lake Resort in Minnesota, the show starts with a story from our llama farm. You'll learn about one of my protective mama llamas, Velvet, who is still looking out for her daughter, Petals, who has long since grown into an adult llama. As I tell the story, my Connemara pony, Madison, interrupts and tries to get the attention on himself.

Then, at Fox Lake Resort, I visit with Edwin and Sheryl Olson, in Marcell, Minnesota - USA. They share the history of the resort - original structures built completely by hand without electricity by two Frenchmen in the 1930s - and the many ways people enjoy the property for fishing and nature vacations. You'll hear the sounds of a fishing line being cast from the boat during an outing to fish for large mouth bass and northern pike, as well as an eagle chirping from the bank of the lake.

Scott and I have co-written a song, "Minnesota," that is inspired by our trips to Fox Lake Resort.
