Where wellness becomes a way of being. Reconditioned is the podcast for wellness seekers ready to rise—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Hosted by master holistic health & life coach, wellness expert, speaker, and former wheelchair user Lauren Vaknine, this show cuts through the noise of wellness trends to bring you grounded, integrative and genuine holistic guidance for true, lasting transformation. After healing herself from the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis she’d had since infancy that left her wheelchair-bound by 18, through deep self-study and holistic living, Lauren has made it her mission to help others recondition—to return to their most empowered, vibrant selves. Whether you’re navigating chronic health challenges, raising conscious children, or simply craving a more aligned, fulfilling life, this podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration and actionable insight. Expect expert interviews, solo episodes, and soulful conversations that bridge science, spirituality, and self-mastery. Because wellness isn’t a destination—it’s your foundation for everything.

As we record this, we are in the very midst of the Covid-19 crisis. Here in the UK we are on week 2 of enforced lockdown and while the mainstream media feed us nothing but fear, we’re left wondering if any of the myriad conspiracy theories are true, if the mainstream media have any of it right, or if we really are as much in the dark as we feel we are. What we do know is that people are witnessing a lot of suffering – both physical and emotional, and though many of us are finding the light beyond the shadow and the life-changing positives that are coming out of this, some people are still shrouded by a lot of tragedy and some people are feeling very lost, anxious and vulnerable.
We began recording season 2 before this all started, and based on the energy at the time, we decided to put the podcast on hold. We were worried about not being able to continue recording as a duo, or meet our guests in person, and felt that releasing episodes that had been pre-recorded and weren’t currently relevant might be inappropriate.
But then we realised that that was crazy! More than ever, people are seeking a connection to wellness – in all aspects of the word – as we navigate these testing times, and that’s exactly what we started this podcast for; to bring information about wellness to the forefront and make it more accessible. So we will be recording this season from our own homes, remotely, and our guests will be joining us in the same way. It won’t be perfect, there may be some glitches along the way, but we felt very strongly about bringing you current, relevant, pragmatic and uplifting information to help ease us through this challenging time.
There was one, very special person who came to mind when we thought about how we could possibly kick off a season in such circumstance. More so than medical doctors or even holistic health practitioners, we feel that people are in real need of spiritual and emotional guidance.
To that end, we were truly honoured to have spoken to Chloe Garcia Ponce, a Mexican healer, or Curandera, medicine woman, or perhaps shaman, with gifts too complex and special for us to be able to befittingly articulate here and do her justice, so do listen on to hear how she guides us in how to help our children through this time, why fear will harm us, how we can support those grieving, and how we need to now look to the plant kingdom for guidance. It is a truly illuminative and expansive episode right in the height of such profound change and anyone listening will surely benefit from Chloe’s teachings.
You can find Chloe at http://nomadicsonglines.com/ and her Instagram @nomadicsonglines.
What are we into:
Chloe: getting back into the kitchen, making food, tinctures and medicines again
Lauren: learning the names of plants and trees, having more plants at home
Tilly: playing board games and card games at home
