What if vibrant health and lasting joy could be cultivated through a few simple, daily practices? In this uplifting and energizing episode, I welcome longtime colleague and renowned wellness expert Susan Smith Jones, PhD, for a conversation filled with wisdom, warmth, and inspiration.

Susan and I were born in the same year and met in the 1970s when we called the health side of vegan living "Natural Hygiene" and when this was a very unusual life choice indeed!

Drawing on decades of experience in holistic health, Susan shares her signature W.O.N.D.E.R.S. framework, seven powerful pillars designed to support healing, vitality, and a positive, balanced life at any age. With humor, heartfelt stories, and practical guidance, she reminds us that true wellness is both an art and a daily choice.

This special episode also celebrates Susan and Victoria’s long-standing friendship and shared history in the wellness world, making for a truly joyful and meaningful exchange.
