In this episode, host Jillian sits down with Mimi Lindquist, founder of The Medicin and co-host of The Medicin Podcast — a holistic wellness brand dedicated to educating people about the power of functional mushrooms, specifically AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound). Mimi is also a licensed dental hygienist turned wellness entrepreneur whose personal healing journey led her to become one of the most passionate and informed voices on mushroom-based immune support.

Together, Jillian and Mimi explore AHCC's unique ability to balance — not simply "boost" — the immune system, making it relevant for everything from everyday wellness to serious illness. Jillian also shares her own personal experience using AHCC to support her MS diagnosis and her son's eczema, making this a deeply personal and practical conversation.

💫 what you’ll hear in this episode:

• What AHCC actually is: a patented, fermented mycelial extract from hybridized shiitake mushrooms

• The difference between mushroom fruiting bodies and mycelium, and why it matters

• How AHCC activates and supports natural killer (NK) cells in the immune system

• Why AHCC is adaptogenic — balancing immune function rather than just "boosting" it

• AHCC for autoimmune conditions including MS, RA, Crohn's, and Sjögren's syndrome

• Using AHCC for HPV, eczema, Lyme disease, liver disease, and cancer support

• Safe and effective dosing for healthy adults, children, and pets

• Why quality matters and how ImmuneIntel AHCC differs from generic brands

• Mimi's pregnancy journey and expanding the narrative around natural birth

• The role of morning routines, nature connection, and journaling in self-care

Your body is always communicating with you — not through diagnosis codes or lab numbers, but through symptoms, sensations, and a quiet inner knowing. Before reaching for the next prescription, the next protocol, or the next answer outside of yourself, pause and ask: What has my body been trying to tell me that I haven't been willing to hear? Healing is not just a physical process — it begins the moment you choose to trust the intelligence already living inside you.

In this deeply transformative episode, host Jillian sits down with Christina Rice, intuitive energy healer, clairvoyant, host of the Multidimensional podcast, and creator of the Christina the Channel app and membership. Christina is one of the most respected voices in the energy healing and intuitive space — known for her no-nonsense approach to spirituality, her deep personal journey through chronic illness, and her ability to blend quantum physics, energetics, and emotional healing into something anyone can apply to their everyday life.

This episode is a masterclass in personal responsibility, emotional literacy, and the science of frequency. Christina and Jillian explore what it actually means to heal — not just physically, but energetically — and why most people stay stuck even when they have access to all the right information. Raw, honest, and profoundly grounding, this conversation will change how you see your body, your emotions, and your power to transform.

💫 what you’ll hear in this episode:

• Radical personal responsibility as the foundation of healing, business, and abundance

• Why people don't take action even when the answers are right in front of them

• How to stop outsourcing your healing and source from within

• The energetic development of people-pleasing and codependency in childhood

• How to use the emotion wheel and body-based feeling to process stuck emotions

• Why emotions are "energy in motion" — and what actually happens when we feel them fully

• TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and the healing power of the shaking response

• The quantum physics case for energy healing — why science and spirituality are not opposites

• How frequency affects the body the same way food, supplements, and sound do

• Why most people's nervous systems are dysregulated — and how to build inner discernment

• Communicating with your body, learning its language, and fortifying your intuition

• Christina's app and membership for guided at-home energy work and meditation

Your body has been speaking to you your entire life. It has never stopped. The question isn't whether the answers are there — it's whether you've been willing to listen. Today, find just ten minutes. No phone, no distraction. Drop into your belly, drop into your heart, and simply ask: What have I been feeling that I haven't let myself feel? What has my body been trying to tell me that I've been too afraid to hear? You don't have to fix anything. Just listen. That's where healing begins.

In this episode, host Jillian sits down with Jalisa Danielle, professional astrologer, former public school educator of 15 years, and a passionate advocate for using astrology as a tool for radical self-understanding. Jalisa brings a refreshingly grounded, no-fluff approach to astrology — blending deep chart knowledge with real-world observation, humor, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from actually studying thousands of people.

What starts as a conversation about the big three basics quickly expands into a rich exploration of progressions, Mercury compatibility, parenting through astrology, generational energy, the school system, and why knowing your chart isn't just spiritual — it's deeply practical. Jillian even gets a mini live reading of her own chart and her son's, making this episode both educational and deeply personal.

💫 what you’ll hear in this episode:

• What the "big three" are and why they're the best starting point in astrology

• Solar progressions: how your personality evolves and shifts every few decades based on your birth degree

• The rising sign as your outward personality and social mask

• How Mercury signs govern communication style — and why some conversations just don't click

• Using astrology to understand your children, including moon signs and the parent-child energy dynamic

• Modalities in astrology: cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs and how they square each other

• Aquarius energy: independence, anti-authority, and the gift of calm in chaos

• Gemini energy: curiosity, anxiety, multi-passionate living, and the gift of connection

• Why Gen Z is Sagittarius energy — and what that means for the school system

• The overlap between astrology, human design, numerology, and epigenetics

• Collaboration over gatekeeping: how sharing and tagging can change your business

The stars didn't make you — they simply reflected what was already true. Your chart is not a box to be put in or a fate to be resigned to. It's a mirror. So if something Jaleesa shared today felt uncomfortably accurate, sit with that. Ask yourself: Where in my life have I been dismissing parts of myself that my chart has been pointing to all along? And what would it feel like to finally stop fighting who I already am?

In this episode, Jillian sits down with Robyn Holm, a clinical hypnotherapist, and nervous system–informed practitioner, to explore how hypnotherapy helps people create change without forcing or fixing themselves.

Robyn shares how hypnotherapy works beneath conscious thought, why the nervous system responds so powerfully to this modality, and how awareness plus subconscious support can shift patterns that talk therapy alone often can’t reach. They talk about overstimulation, burnout, identity fatigue, and why so many people feel stuck even when they’re “doing all the right things.”

This conversation reframes healing as learning how your system works, creating safety first, and letting change happen from the inside out. It’s grounded, practical, and deeply validating for anyone who feels overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.

💫 what you’ll hear in this episode

• what hypnotherapy actually is

• how hypnotherapy supports the nervous system

• subconscious patterning and behavior change

• why awareness alone isn’t always enough

• overstimulation and burnout explained

• creating safety in the body

• how hypnotherapy complements other healing work

• permission to stop forcing change

where are you trying to think your way into change instead of allowing your nervous system to feel safe enough to shift?

This episode is equal parts tea spill and skin school. Jillian sits down with her dear friend and favorite esthetician, Stephanie Lopez, owner of Viridian Spa in Katy, Texas. Their convo dives into the real stuff no one talks about in the aesthetics world—the sales pressure, the unsafe treatments, the doctors who don’t read intake forms, and why honest skin care takes more than a magic product or quick fix.

Between the laughs, detective jokes, and monocle chaos, Stephanie opens up about her years inside day spas, wax studios, and med spas, and why she finally broke away to create a space rooted in integrity, education, and actual client care. She gets real about the difference between American and Korean skincare philosophies, why skin health starts deeper than the surface, and how consumerism traps so many people in routines that don’t make sense.

💫 what you’ll hear in this episode

• why stephanie left the med-spa world

• the wildest things she saw from doctors

• why consumer skincare feels chaotic

• the real way to build a routine

• how lifestyle impacts every skin concern

• why korean skincare hits different

• teen boy skin, sports, and chaos

• how to find a pro you can trust

• the honest truth about botox, peels, and quick fixes

If you’ve ever wondered who to trust with your skin—or why the industry feels so confusing—this one gives you clarity, humor, and the truth straight up.

Where are you trying to find a quick fix in your life when what you really need is consistency, honesty, and support?
