Episode 112 Is This Why You’re Still Sick?

Trauma Lives in Your Water? The Healing You Were Never Taught

Have you ever felt like your healing was incomplete—like you’ve tried all the diets, supplements, and appointments, but something’s still off?

In this powerful conversation, Healthy Habits & Lifestyle Coach Jovonnie is joined by Heather-Ann Ferri, trauma-informed healer, author, and world record holder, who reveals the often-ignored connection between water, stored trauma, and hormone chaos. From Broadway stages to being bedridden for two years, her journey will challenge everything you thought you knew about wellness—and what’s been silently sabotaging it.

In this episode, we explore:

• How trauma gets stored in the body (and water)
• 
  
• The role of forever chemicals in disrupting hormones and energy
• 
  
• What electrolyzed reduced water really does in your healing journey
• 
  
• The unspoken emotional roots of pelvic pain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances
• 
  
• Why grief and unresolved emotions must be released, not repressed

Episode 106 Why Your Skin Is Freaking Out 

Skin Telling You Something? The Hormone-Skin Connection You Can’t Ignore in Midlife

Are you tired of midlife skin changes, unexplained puffiness, or brain fog—but told it’s all “just aging”? This episode breaks that myth wide open.

I’m joined by midlife vitality and hormone nutrition expert Alison Bladh, who shares how your skin is a mirror of your hormones, stress, and nutrition. You’ll learn:

• 3 signs your hormones are out of balance (and showing on your skin)
• Why extreme diets and overloading skincare aren’t helping
• What your body actually needs for healing in this season

Healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming—it just has to be aligned.

Think You’re Failing at Meditation? You’re Actually Closer Than You Think

• How to meditate even if your mind won’t stop racing
• The 5 Regulations (body, breath, mind, energy, spirit) and how to use them
