Deep Breaths & Dance Breaks

In this episode, I discuss:

• The "hot girls have IBS" trend and why I'm done normalizing it
• The difference between chronic autoimmune GI conditions (IBD, Crohn's, celiac) and everyday digestive distress that's actually fixable
• The Instagram video that inspired this episode...and why "girls, are we all like this?" is the wrong question

3 things we discuss in this episode:

• Why the best thing for you can feel wrong at first, and how to tell a false flag from your nervous system apart from a real red flag
• The four tools that help you tolerate discomfort while building a new habit: deep breaths, naming your feelings as data, recruiting support, and making the change feel like yours
• My own stories of putting in the reps with breakfast, exercise, and dating my now-husband, and what it actually took to get my nervous system to stop treating the good thing like a threat

3 things we discuss in this episode:

• The real reason restrictive diets like whole30 and paleo felt so good and it's not the one you think
• The single nutrition piece of nutrition advice I wish I could give everyone, and why it's more effective than any cookie cutter program
• Five simple additions (not subtractions) that will do more for your mood, digestion, and energy than any elimination ever did

If you've been ending your days feeling like you didn't do enough...like the day doesn't count unless you can point to a list of things you produced...this one's for you!

I've been stuck in that exact loop lately: measuring my worth by my output, my money made, my boxes ticked. And I'm done. So in this solo episode I'm sharing the new framework I'm using to decide whether i had a good day...and it has nothing to do with productivity.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why measuring your days by your output quietly runs your well dry
• The three things i'm journaling on every night instead (and why they actually predict how alive you feel)
• The one daily habit i reach for first (and why feeling good comes before getting your sh*t together, not after)
• The surprising #1 predictor of your health
• A simple nightly practice you can start tonight (no journal required)

By the end, you'll have a gentler, more honest way to measure a good day.

**Plus: Deep Breaths & Dance Breaks is back on substack — every monday, a 2–3 min breathwork practice, a song to dance to, and a little message in your inbox.

3 things we discuss in this episode:

• The three things that feel "productive" on a bad body image day but never actually work (and what to do instead)
• The two versions of yourself to consult when your body image tanks (one of them is 94, one of them is 4)
• The question that changes everything: not "what have I been feeding my body," but "what have I been feeding my brain"

3 things I talk about in this episode:

1. How I followed my intuition across continents. From leaving New York in 2022, to nomadic years in the U.S. and Europe, to settling in Lisbon and then in finally London – and how anxiety vs intuition shaped each move.

2. My real love story. How I met my husband in London after a two-year journey of solo travel, heartbreak, and self-discovery – and what it actually felt like to choose healthy love.

3. The practices that helped me trust myself. Cozy rituals, small promises, and “grounded girl era” lessons that made it possible to hear my intuition more clearly than my anxiety.

3 things we talk about in this episode:

• 1. Life in the “in-between” of trying to conceive. Magali shares openly about 16 months of navigating the two-week wait, managing hope and disappointment, and why she chose to speak publicly in real time, not just after a “happy ending.”

  
  

• 2. Finding trust without bypassing the hard stuff. How she distinguishes true trust and spiritual grounding from the “everything happens for a reason” platitude, plus the practices and tools (like the book Spirit Babies) that help her return to center.

• 3. Releasing the pressure to do everything “perfectly.” From hormone disruptor overwhelm to IVF pressure, we explore balancing supportive structure with surrender, and how that balance applies to other big life goals, not just fertility.
