- 56: The MOST important morning habit to support your nervous system, blood sugar, and hormones
Long morning routines are honestly unrealistic for most modern humans, but there is one thing that I never skip even if I’m short on time….BREAKFAST. In today’s episode I’m talking about why eating breakfast is essential for the health of your nervous system, blood sugar, hormones, and so much more. I also address the common objections I hear from clients and followers for why they don’t want to eat breakfast (fear of weight gain, not being hungry, and not having enough time).
I discuss…
- 2 non-negotiable habits of my morning routine
- The lies women have been sold about health and health routines
- The effects of living with high cortisol
- The crazy ways blood sugar dysregulation impacts your life
- How eating breakfast supports your cortisol and nervous system
- How eating breakfast supports your blood sugar for the rest of the day
- My specific breakfast recommendations for optimal balance
- What if you’re scared of gaining weight when you start eating breakfast?
- What if you’re not hungry in the morning?
- What if you have “no time” to make breakfast?

37 min - 55: Are you addicted to your struggle? Why you are doing all the right things, but still have health issues
When you are “doing all the right things” to heal some physical issue, but you still aren’t seeing improvements…it’s time to look deeper. Whether it’s acne, your relationship with food, weight loss, digestive issues, or anything else…if you don’t address the subconscious roots of that symptom, it might never go away completely. I see time and time again how we can get addicted to our struggle. We subconsciously love our symptoms, so it’s no wonder they don’t go away! I explore this more deeply in today’s episode and also share tips on how to start creating a new life that doesn’t involve your health issue.
I explore…
- Why you are “doing all the right things” to heal but are still struggling with symptoms
- How your mental/emotional/nervous system health impacts your physical health
- Why identifying with your pain or condition keeps you stuck
- Lessons from my own acne and food journey that changed everything for me
- How your cells respond to your thoughts and emotions
- Subconscious ways your illness is serving you
- The trap of health becoming your hobby
- How to create a new identity that doesn’t involve your pain
- How a lack of self worth will keep you from optimal health

If you are living your life overthinking, overanalyzing, and intellectualizing things, it might be because your body doesn’t feel safe enough to actually FEEL. And when you aren’t allowing feelings to be processed and moved through your body, you will be prone to physical and mental health issues, and life will feel much more challenging. In today’s episode, I’m sharing 7 specific signs that you’re avoiding your feelings and some of the incredible shifts that happen when your body finally unravels years of suppressed emotions.
I dive into…
- The trap of overanalyzing, overthinking, and intellectualizing things instead of feeling
- Why living in our heads is a sign of an unsafe body
- 7 specific signs you’re not feeling your feelings
- Common behaviors I see in clients/people who are avoiding their feelings
- Why learning more about emotional health is keeping you from actually changing your life
- How feeling clears space in your system for your intuition to blossom
- Why you should “feel first, think later”
- Physical health symptoms that result from not feeling your emotions
- Where do emotions go when we suppress them?

42 min - 47: Too much of a good thing is a bad thing: How perfectionism, extremes, and all or nothing thinking keeps you stuck mentally and physically
Cold plunges every morning at 5 am! No added fats in your diet! 12,000 steps per day! It’s easy to take things to the extreme in health and wellness in an attempt to feel good. But this extreme approach often backfires and doesn’t bring us the vitality we are truly looking for. Today, I’m diving into why we have parts of us that crave extremes, perfection, and all or nothing thinking. These parts of us are often protecting us from something much deeper and when we bring love and healing to that pain, then we can live our lives with much more ease and flexibility. Listen to learn how!
I discuss…
- Why so many women fall into orthorexic and extreme traps in health and wellness
- The trap of “all or nothing” thinking
- The physical health impacts of perfectionism and extremes
- The mental/emotional impact of black and white thinking
- The real reasons why you need to do things in an extreme/perfect way
- Real time parts work with these parts
- How perfectionism is protecting you from deeper pain
- Why do you think health routines have to be challenging to get results?
- How to heal and release all these parts so you can be FREE!
- How to actually heal (not just be super educated and unhealed)
- The reality of life when you’re living from your soul (not your trauma)
