Embrace Your Authentic Power with Ashley Bernardi
Ashley Bernardi is a trained journalist who has written for some of the biggest publications nationwide and the founder of the powerhouse media firm Nardi Media. When the emotions she oppressed after the traumatic death of her father at a young age began to manifest into disease and depression later in life, Ashley deepened her commitment to health, wellness, spirituality, and her own authentic power and is passionate about helping others do the same.
Listening to Your Body Through Stillness
The strategies needed to process messy emotions and trauma may be simple, but they take practice, awareness, and the desire to listen to your inner wisdom. Permitting yourself to start feeling and truly sitting in silence to listen to what your body needs can instantly change your state of panic into relaxation.
Instead of trying to numb or distract yourself from your emotions, Ashley’s work is all about honoring and accessing your wisdom from within so that you can find true transformation and healing.
You Hold Healing Power Within Yourself
Ashley has created the FEEL Framework to help people focus on their emotions, enter their emotions, experience their emotions, and listen, learn, and love that emotion. By sharing your voice, putting up boundaries, giving yourself permission to say no, and being vulnerable, you can share and address your feelings in real-time in order to heal.
Making space for brave conversations, being grateful for every emotion you feel, and knowing that everything is temporary are key constructs to Ashley’s journey to embracing her authentic power. The power to decide if life is happening to you or for you is within reach, and every one of us, all we need to do is learn how to listen.

Have you been trying everything you can to create more energy, lose that stubborn weight, and heal your hormones but aren't seeing the results you are looking for? One of the biggest factors for our overall health, longevity, and sustainable energy comes from becoming metabolically flexible and getting your body into a thermogenic state.

Stu Schaefer is a 20-year award-winning weight-loss coach who specializes in helping people reset their bodies so they can lose weight as they did in their 20’s.

He has helped thousands of people transform their bodies and empower themselves so that they can use their success to create a life worth living.
Eat More and Work Out Less
What if I told you that the secret to achieving the weight loss results you are after could come from eating more and working out less? Stu’s four food quadrants focus on not only what you are eating and the amount you are eating but also when you are eating and how you are combining foods in order to see optimal results.
Getting your body into a thermogenic state can help you burn fat like a furnace. When you can give your body the variety it needs to function optimally, you can burn fat constantly, preserve muscle, and lose weight.
Thermogenics Is Key
Each person has their own unique combination of needs in order to function optimally. However, most of us are making choices we believe to be healthy, but that is really keeping our bodies from reaching that thermogenic state.
When you know what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, how to combine foods, and when to stop with the exercise, you can stop making these common mistakes and boost your metabolic flexibility in order to get your body into fat-burning mode.
Are you ready to get your body into a thermogenic mode so that you can gain more energy, longevity, and muscle? Share which of Stu’s helpful insights surprised you most with me in the comments section of the episode page.

Essentially You Episode #229: The Truth Behind Which Foods Trigger Inflammation and Belly Fat
The sad truth is that most women know what it is like to have their symptoms be dismissed or downplayed by our medical system. The history of women being gaslit in medicine goes back centuries, which is why it is important to understand the history of bias in the medical field so that we can pave the way for policy changes today.
What It Means to Be an Unwell Woman with Dr. Elinor Cleghorn
Dr. Elinor Cleghorn has a background in feminist culture and history, a Ph.D. in humanities and cultural studies, and is the author of the new book Unwell Women. She is passionate about sharing her experience of chronic illness, debunking the myths and history surrounding the gaslighting of women, racism, and misogyny in the medical field. Dr. Cleghorn exposes how the system has been historically rigged against women and empowers others to advocate for their health and bodies.
A Historically Discriminatory System
The idea that women exaggerate their pain or are unreliable when speaking about their bodies has a long history. These prejudices are still seen today in the language used by practitioners and the dismissive attitudes embedded into the medical field in general.
This ancient sexism, racism, and misogyny in the medical system will only be corrected when research and funding are allocated to understanding the more complex issues of gender and chronic disease. While this kind of content can be challenging to hear, it is only by preparing ourselves with the knowledge necessary to advocate for ourselves and our mothers, sisters, and daughters that we can create much-needed change.
Becoming Your Own Advocate
Although the system may be rigged against us, the eternal truth is that nobody understands your body better than you do. You have the right to search for the answers and have ownership over your health because, in the end, that is what matters the most.
Everybody has the right to be respected, spoken to as they want to be spoken to, and have things explained to them. We all need to be alerted and empowered to stand up for these rights so that we can advocate for our bodies and health. If you have been made to feel like you are not reliable, that your pain is not real, or discriminated against, this episode will empower you with the information you need to become your own advocate and get the answers you deserve.
What are your experiences as a woman seeking answers in today’s modern medical system? Share your thoughts with me in the comments section of the episode page.

The Nutrition Education You Are Supposed to Know but Were Never Taught
Jenn Trepeck, a “force of nature” in wellness, is an Optimal Health Coach specializing in weight management. The Founder of Better Life Now LLC and host of Salad with a Side of Fries Podcast, Jenn works to pay her knowledge forward and reach a larger audience, teaching the nutrition education we are all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. Jenn’s mission is to change the state of healthcare as a Certified Transitions Lifestyle Coach and Consultant with nutraMetrix Custom Health Solutions.
Think Global, Act Local
Have you ever stopped to consider why the apples or bananas you are buying in the store were grown and shipped to you from the other side of the world? This is because we have lost touch with the nutritional power of eating locally and seasonally. While this started as an attempt to create efficiencies in the way we grow and access food, it has harmed the fundamental nutritional components of these foods. So even if you think you are making healthy choices, you may not be getting all the nutritional benefits you think you are. This is why it is important to make choices as a conscious consumer to feed your body better and shift how our food is produced.
Becoming a Conscious Consumer
Jenn wants you to make decisions with both your dollar and your fork by shopping local, eating seasonally, and advocating for organizations involved in providing access to fresh foods in your community.
Being a conscious food consumer does not have to be complicated or expensive; all it takes is a commitment to reverse the metabolic epidemic we are seeing in this country and seek out foods that give you proper nutrition. Food provides us energy, which in turn impacts everything else. By bridging the gap between how our food is produced and how it is serving us, we can relieve our symptoms and improve our nutrition for everyone
Quotes:
“Our system teaches us to look at everything in isolation, but the reality is everything is so connected, in nature and in the body.” (8:32)
“Even if we were to eat all of the things that we are supposed to eat, and never eat the things that deplete our body, we are still not getting the nutrients we think that we are from all of our healthy choices. And it doesn’t mean don’t eat the broccoli, of course. But it means that we might have to have an even greater commitment to nutrition, and potentially supplementation, to help support our bodies proper function.” (12:07)
“Moderation and living life, absolutely. But understanding fundamentally what we are giving our body through our food choices is paramount.” (33:31)

We can all relate to the feeling of being betrayed at some point in our life. But have you ever considered that your past traumas or betrayals could be impacting your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health? Navigating life post-betrayal takes some work, but the transformation on the other side is well worth it.
From Betrayal to Breakthrough with Dr. Debi Silber
Dr. Debi Silber, the founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute, is a holistic psychologist and health, mindset, and personal development, expert. Dr. Debi knows firsthand the impact that healing from betrayal can have on a person, which is why she has dedicated herself to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from the health, work, relationships, confidence, and happiness they want most.
The Upside of Trauma
When someone you trusted and gave you a sense of security takes that security away, it is traumatizing. But, the upside of trauma is that you can not only rebuild your life, but you can rebuild yourself into a version that never would have existed if that betrayal had not happened. Once you can move through the five stages of healing, you can grow and transform into the new you. While you cannot undo the experience you have been through, you can control what you do with it and who you become on the other side of healing.
Rebuilding Trust Brick by Brick
The only way that trust can be rebuilt is brick by brick. It takes a willingness to heal or to walk away from a situation that determines how you live your life going forward. Even if your betrayal happened a long time ago, the lingering side effects could be driving your physical and mental symptoms. Dr. Debi is here to assure you that you are not crazy, not alone, and you owe it to yourself to experience the transformation you deserve. It is time to put in the work and learn to trust yourself again so that you can live in a place of abundance.
Are you ready to move out of being stuck in stage 3 and get to the other side and live a life of abundance? Share your thoughts with me in this comments section of the episode page.

Essentially You Episode #78: How Your Biggest Crisis Reveals Your Greatest Gift with Dr. Debi Silber
One of the biggest root causes of hormone imbalance facing over 130 million Americans is metabolic dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction can lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, and a host of other chronic illnesses that you may not even realize are linked to your metabolism. The good news is that with a few mindset and lifestyle changes, you can improve your metabolism, overall health, and long-term longevity.
Take Back Control of Your Metabolic Health
Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of the metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the Internation Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Dr. Casey works to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools. Her philosophy combines smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices to help others take their metabolic health back into their own hands.
Looking at Your Metabolism Like Never Before
Through her work at Levels, Dr. Casey and her team are able to access nutritional data in a way that has never been seen before. By getting to the bottom of which foods affect you and your glucose on a personal level, you can figure out what is best for you and your body.
Knowledge is power when it comes to a lot of things, especially when it comes to your metabolic and hormonal health. Foods you may think are healthy for you could actually be causing a significant glucose response, which is why it is important to equip yourself with the information to serve your body in the best way possible.
The Key to Longevity Is Your Metabolism
As women, we need to be on top of our blood sugar more than anything. Your metabolism can impact everything from how you feel to how you age, which is why it is so crucial to identify your root causes and get them under control in order to increase your overall health and longevity.
While your average doctor may not know about the importance of focusing on metabolic health, this episode is your sign to get down to the basics and focus on your daily patterns in order to preserve your health through all stages of life.
Are you ready to focus on creating more resilience for your metabolism? Let me know which of Dr. Casey’s tips resonated the most with you in the comments section of the episode page.

As women, we visit the doctor seeking answers, pain relief, and support. Instead, we end up fighting stereotypes. Healthcare providers say our symptoms aren’t real. And we are treated as if we are overreacting.
Women are more likely to have their pain minimized, their symptoms dismissed, and tests refused. This mishandling of complaints leads to delays in diagnosis and treatment, causing more pain and health problems.
Learning how to advocate for yourself is the best thing you can do to make sure you are heard and supported. Tune in today to hear...

Top 10 Self-Care Rituals for Today's Woman
Most of us know that when we don't fill up our own cup, it becomes so much more difficult to take care of anything or anyone else. So why is it so difficult for us to take care of ourselves first? Despite what society tells you, it is never selfish to put yourself first, and with a few simple mindset changes, you can create ease in your daily life no matter how busy you are.
Putting Yourself First with Elena Brower
Elena Brower is a real force of nature when finding inner peace and putting yourself first. Elena knows firsthand the dangers of burnout as a mama, teacher, artist, bestselling author, podcast host, and yoga and meditation teacher. She has dedicated her life to helping others learn how to talk to themselves and listen to their mind, bodies, and hearts in order to be happy on the inside.
Cultivating Your Inner Peace
If you struggle with setting boundaries or being truly present in the moment, you are not alone. But the truth is, your peace belongs to you, and you alone. Elena’s practices can help you communicate with people, curate more space in your life, and choose which attributes you want to cultivate within yourself.
We are not talking about a bubble bath or a manicure here. Elena’s program is all about getting intentional about taking care of yourself and being selective about the energy that you are letting into your life.
Creating a Life You Love Through Self-Care
Life is short. We as women need to become intentional about selecting the people to whom we give our love and time and letting go of the things that don't serve us anymore. As we age, it becomes all the more clear that self-care is the only way to create a life you love and that loves you back.
When you can understand yourself and what you need in a real and practical way, you can take action every day to prioritize yourself and be of service to others in whatever way necessary.
Are you ready to start putting yourself first for at least 5 minutes every day? Because you deserve it! Share which of Elena’s practices resonated with you most with me in the comments section of the episode page.
