Healing The Source

McLean is a mother of two, wife, Motherhood Coach, Postpartum Doula, Birth Educator, Certified Pre + Postnatal Yoga & Pilates Teacher, Certified Nutritionist, Hypnosis & Reiki Practitioner, Frequency Guide, Circle Leader and Sound Bath Facilitator. She became a Postpartum Doula in order to embody the help that she didn’t realize she needed after the birth of her first daughter in 2011.

Becoming a Postpartum Doula led her to her truest passion- to support women during their rite of passage from Maiden to Mother. She believes that Postpartum Care not only helps the new Mama heal, but also sets the entire family up to thrive. Through her Postpartum Coaching and Doula work, she helps couples come together, not drift apart. Mothers do not exist in a vacuum. And so we must look to the foundation of the entire family unit as a means for maternal health in mind, body and spirit.

McLean bows down to all of her incredible women in her life and mama friends who have held her up, made her laugh to tears, supported her work vision, inspired her and created space for immense healing.  And most importantly, she thanks her two biggest teachers- her daughters Jemima and Goldy Wolf who launched her greatest adventure, to be their Mother.

In this episode, I sit down with Darin Olien, renowned health expert, author, and co-host of Netflix's Down to Earth, to discuss his journey in wellness, sustainability, and superfoods. The conversation kicks off with how I met Darin at Expo West, where I was introduced to the superfood Barukas nuts, known for their low-water footprint, high antioxidant content, and virtually no heavy metals. Darin shares the incredible backstory behind his discovery of Barukas and how they’re revolutionizing health and sustainability.

We dive deep into Darin's perspective on staying hopeful amidst overwhelming health challenges like hidden toxins in everyday products and new pesticides in our food. We explore how people can protect themselves from these unseen dangers, even when harmful substances aren’t listed on product labels.

We also discuss what it takes to make lasting health changes, how to overcome the comfort of bad habits, and why some of us need to hit rock bottom before real transformation begins. Darin opens up about the principles he’s reevaluated over the years and reflects on staying true to his values in an era where influencers are often tempted by financial incentives over integrity.

The conversation touches on practical advice for those living in food deserts, the real impact of genetics on our health, and why humans seem to have lost their instinctive understanding of what to eat, unlike wild animals. Lastly, as fellow introverts, Darin and I reflect on the challenges of maintaining energy and empathy in a world filled with online negativity.

Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking episode that will leave you rethinking the way you approach health, sustainability, and personal growth.

I’m thrilled to welcome our special guest, Taylor Gossett, also known as Get Real, Girlfriend. 

Taylor is a women’s health educator with a background as a professionally trained birth doula. However, she left the mainstream birth world to escape rampant censorship and cancel culture, choosing instead to pursue a career aligned with her core values and passion for women’s health, truth, and authenticity.

Growing up in poverty, raised by a single mother struggling with pharmaceutical addiction, Taylor embarked on a journey of deprogramming herself from societal conditioning and overcoming chronic illness. Today, she’s dedicated to helping others overcome adversity while restoring their health and hormonal balance.

In this episode, we delve into Taylor's incredible journey, exploring the pivotal moments that led to her spiritual awakening and transformed her life. We'll also discuss the GAPS diet, childhood trauma, her experiences as a former birth doula, offering a unique perspective on pregnancy and the crucial role of nutrition and mindset in holistic health... and, of course, many controversial truth bombs are dropped along the way (like her take on modern feminism!)

Ashley Frost is a NEO EMOTIONAL RELEASE Practitioner, Anger Expert, Teacher, and former Manager of the NER Institute. Her journey into psychosomatics involved navigating the depths of the Underworld, learning to alchemize the deepest human and physical pains. She has returned as a fierce torchbearer, advocating for owning one's emotions, facing the shadow, and discovering the light from within.

As a former corporate project manager and recovering perfectionist who experienced burnout, Ashley’s exploration of anger began through the body. Years of chronic fatigue and undiagnosable pain led to many attempts at healing. The significant breakthroughs only occurred when both the mind (psycho) and body (somatics) were involved, allowing decades of pent-up emotions and pressure to be released.

Described as direct, unabashed, yet open-hearted, Ashley is dedicated to guiding others in finding their truth, especially by confronting anger and other emotions, and transforming them into lasting personal and communal change. Her vision is to contribute to a world filled with authentic, self-responsible, and kind changemakers—for the sake of evolution.

In this episode, Ashley explains how...

-in Neo Emotional Release we learn to understand the true language of the body. And because we are willing to meet them in the depth of their own humanity we can directly address the root cause of human suffering.

-ANGER is actually healthy, how to express it, why not to suppress it, and debunks myths around it

-we often wonder if we're ever done healing... is there a finish line?

-attraction to the "bad boy" may be telling you something about yourself
