What if your anxiety, insomnia, acne, or hormone imbalances aren’t just physical… but emotional?

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most overlooked truths in healing: your emotions are shaping your health.

Through the lens of Chinese Medicine — and my own story of anxiety, anger, and emotional shutdown — I’ll walk you through how suppressed emotions like grief, fear, and frustration can manifest as real physical symptoms: from PMS and digestive issues to skin flare-ups, sleep problems, and chronic tension.

You’ll hear:

The emotional patterns behind stubborn physical symptoms

How Chinese Medicine connects emotions to specific organs (and what that means for you)

Why being “too sensitive” might actually be your superpower

What emotional mastery really looks like (hint: it’s not perfection)

There comes a moment on every healing journey when we realize the life we’ve built no longer fits — and we’re standing at a powerful crossroads. In this episode, I’m joined by Edit B Kiss, a former petroleum engineer turned holistic therapist and Reiki Master, whose story of self-healing, overcoming anxiety, and stepping into her purpose is a beacon for every woman feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of her next step.

Edit opens up about her struggles with panic attacks, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt, and how her own healing journey — learning Reiki, clearing emotional baggage, and staying consistent with her inner work — led her to become the healer and teacher she was always meant to be.

If you’re feeling called to step into your purpose, but fear, overwhelm, or self-doubt are keeping you stuck, this conversation will light the path forward. And remember — before we can guide others, we have to do the deep work of healing ourselves.

 Listen in for:

• The signs the universe sends when it’s time to reinvent yourself
• Why self-healing is the first step to becoming a healer
• How to work through imposter syndrome (and trust you’re ready)
• The importance of consistency, support, and community on your path

If you felt a spark of recognition during this conversation — like Edit was speaking directly to your heart — I encourage you to connect with her and explore her incredible tools and teachings.

Pregnancy is hard as fuck. There is so much change in such a short period of time, major hormonal shifts, financial stress and pressure, relationships being tested, weight gain, physical discomfort, fear of birth, miscarriages, stillbirths, challenging family dynamics, postpartum, anxiety about being perfect, etc, etc. 

I get it, I see you, and all of these fears, worries, anxieties, and emotions are all absolutely valid. 

This episode is devoted to helping you feel the way you ACTUALLY want to feel throughout every stage of pregnancy - joyful, connected, grateful, blissful, and beautiful. Plus, I guide you through the practice that gave me the mental fortitude to overcome even my most challenging moments in pregnancy. 

I’m afraid of birth, I’m afraid of becoming a mother, I’m afraid of how this will change my life, my marriage, and my work. And yet, I’m doing it all anyways. 

Fear is the emotion that holds us back, it is paralyzing and keeps us stuck in our comfort zone. Even if we’re unhappy in our relationships, in our work, in our pain at least it’s familiar, right? 

Fear requires us to be brave, to take action, and step into the abyss and the unknown. In this episode I explore the connection between pregnancy, childbirth, and ayahuasca, how to identify where fear is stored in the body, and most importantly how to master and befriend your fear so that you can purposefully create a life that you love. 

I often meet women when they’re in the midst of an unexpected crisis whether it be a major health issue, the end of a relationship, being let go from a job, etc. In our work together I help them reclaim their sense of control so that they can grow, heal, and transform through their experiences instead of continuing to feel like a victim to unforeseen circumstances.

I hope that this podcast episode will offer you key insights as to how you can navigate your unique challenges with a greater sense of confidence, ease, and faith that ultimately the universe has your back and there is a greater purpose to your pain and suffering.  

Why do we have such a hard time letting go? When we experience grief from losing someone we love, heartbreak, contending with major disappointment after failing, etc there is a secondary emotion that emerges - guilt. We feel guilty for not feeling the way we were supposed to, guilty for continuing to live when someone else has passed on, guilty for feeling angry and resentful, guilty for letting people down, and more. 

Tune into this episode to learn more about how these grief and guilt are stored in the body, the patterns they evolve into over time, and a guided meditation at the end to help you release these emotions and create space for more joy, resilience, and faith. 

If you’re in the midst of a particularly dark moment in your life, presently emerging from one, or seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges you’ve been through, this episode is for you.

I know what it’s like to be stuck, lost, and lonely in the isolation that comes with these experiences and through my own personal journey and my work with women I also know what it takes to feel light, free, empowered, and full of joy again. 

Chinese Medicine has a masterful understanding of both the dark and the light, the yin and the yang, and more importantly how to harness the extraordinary power of your darkest moments to cultivate unstoppable inner fire and strength. 

Disappointment, frustration, limitations, and defeat start to eat away at our sense of hope when it comes to healing. By the time most women find me they have explored so many other options like diets, medications, exercise routines, therapies, etc and placed their trust in doctors, books, and other healers only to end up doubtful, cynical, and pessimistic because they STILL don’t have the results they want.    My years as an acupuncturist, teacher, and community leader have illuminated what it takes to reclaim our sense of hope so that we can finally experience profound healing and transformation that lasts a lifetime. Tune into this episode to discover how to create these changes for yourself!

Are we ever done healing? This question sparked a conversation between me and my husband, Jeff, which led to us immediately sitting down to record an episode. 

Throughout his life Jeff has experienced extraordinary loss, grief, fear, and self-doubt which ultimately led to him becoming the single most resilient, resourceful, and strong-willed man I’ve ever known. 

In this conversation we explore the many practices, tools, and necessary shifts he has made over the past several decades to equip him with the courage he has now to step into the unknown abyss that is fatherhood. 

If you know what it is like to be held back by your fears and you ready to create a life that is full of presence, joy, and confidence…give this episode a listen!
