This one’s for the stepmoms. In this Hotline episode, we’re diving deep into the emotional complexities of blended families with expert (and co-parent) Stephanie Therapy. Together, we unpack the unique challenges stepmothers face — from navigating feelings of resentment and abandonment to managing the realities of co-parenting (or parallel parenting) with an ex, their family, all while balancing the impact it (and the other parent) can have on your current relationship. This one’s honest, validating, and for anyone who’s ever thought… Why does this feel so hard?

Do you feel a silent but relentless drive to prove yourself—to prove that you can do it, that you're enough, that you're capable, that you can get where you want to go? Do you sometimes wonder if others have it “easier” or wish that things were simpler or easier for you? This week, I dive into all things “Underdog Mindset” because it’s something I know all too well.

Born out of my own sibling rivalry with my brother, I’ve lived this & it still pervades every aspect of my life today - driving my insane ambition, overworking and drive for success. I dive into this, Tom Brady’s journey from underdog to champion, and how this trait can be a blessing and a curse (did someone say alienated, isolated, and angry?). If you can relate, you’re not alone and I’ve got you.

Guys, I FELL OFF!!! 😭 Life update time—let’s talk about what’s been really going on. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of stress—financial stress, relationship stress, career uncertainty, and the absolute emotional rollercoaster of relocating cities (yep, from Tulum to Mexico City) at the drop of a hat. Did someone say cross-country road trip with four cats and my entire life packed into a car? Yep, that happened.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by change, unsure of your next move, or just completely burnt out, this episode is for you—because when you fall off, sometimes it feels impossible to get back on.

I’m also sharing my Shift List—a simple but powerful 3-step method that helps me break through the overwhelm and start moving in the right direction even when I want to give up entirely.

It always starts out so good, right? The butterflies, the excitement, the electric pull. But what happens next? In this episode, Louise takes you on a deep dive into the psychology and biology of love—from the euphoric highs of initial lust and those heart-racing fanny flutters to the more grounded, regulated, and lasting stages of falling and being in love (yes, there’s a difference!) and then falling out of love.

She’s breaking down every stage of the love cycle, exploring attachment, hormones, and subconscious patterns that shape our relationships. If you’re currently obsessing over someone new or wondering ‘Is this still working for me?’, this episode is for you so you can get clear on all stages of the love cycle.

The oversharing hangover is real AF. Ever feel like you’ve said way too much and been left with that “Whyyyy did I just say that?” or "WTF is wrong with me?" shame spiral? Same, honey.

In this episode of Healing Honeys, I’m diving into oversharing—why we do it, how it’s tied to our nervous system (hello, fight, flight, fawn!) and neurodivergency too. From hilarious college stories (yes, I REALLY said that on the back of a wedding bus) to unpacking the emotional drivers behind oversharing, I’m serving up a mix of my life to help you understand yours, so you can move on from “why did I say that?” to feeling more empowered about what you choose to share—and with whom.

#192 Wait, there’s a connection between PCOS & lack of boundaries? Yep—let’s talk about it. In this episode of Healing Honeys, Louise welcomes Miranda Popen, a hormone nutritionist, to discuss Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and why SO many women are struggling with it today.

We dive into:

✨ The link between stress, cortisol, and PCOS symptoms

✨ How people-pleasing and perfectionism impact your hormones

✨ Why your attachment style & inner child wounds play a role in PCOS

✨ The different types of PCOS (yes, there’s more than one!)

✨ Why supplements alone won’t fix it—and what actually helps

✨ Morning & evening routines for hormone balance

✨ Nutrition tips for managing PCOS

✨ The power of boundaries in regulating your nervous system

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by conflicting advice or overwhelmed by how to manage your PCOS symptoms, this episode will bring clarity, validation, and REAL solutions. Miranda and Louise keep it practical, giving you actionable steps to support your hormones, lower stress, and reclaim your health.

Today, I’m chatting about the root causes of PMDD. Following my powerful conversation with Sophie Milner, where she shared her raw and vulnerable experience with PMDD, I’m breaking down what the doctors might not be telling you —hormonal imbalances, stress, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and more. We'll explore how chronic stress and high cortisol levels disrupt estrogen and progesterone, how blood sugar regulation impacts your symptoms, and why your body's detox pathways play a crucial role in balancing hormones. 

I’m also sharing holistic tools—from nutrition and supplements to somatic therapy and nervous system regulation—that can help you feel more in control of your body and emotions. If you’ve been struggling with PMDD and are looking for alternative ways to heal beyond traditional medicine, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and healing is possible.

Do you feel like a different person for half the month? Are you being told ‘it’s just PMS’ when it feels like SO much more?

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions, thoughts, and mental health are completely hijacked every single month—and no one seems to understand—you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Milner to talk about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), a condition that affects 1 in 20 women but is wildly underdiagnosed and misunderstood.

We get into:

🔬 What PMDD actually is (and why it’s NOT ‘just bad PMS’).

🧠 The emotional & mental toll of feeling like a different person every cycle.

💊 Hormones, medication & treatment options (and why many doctors dismiss women’s pain).

⚡ How to start advocating for yourself & getting the right help.

💊 Sophie’s top tips and supplements; and

💡 Somatic healing & nervous system regulation to support PMDD symptoms.

Sophie shares her personal experience with PMDD, the rollercoaster of misdiagnosis, and its impact on her relationships, career, and self-worth. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or gaslit about your hormonal symptoms, this episode is your permission slip to take them seriously.
