Her Best Version

Today's episode dives deep into a topic that so many women silently navigate — anxiety, control, and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. I'm joined by Dr Kaitlin N. Harkess — Clinical Psychologist, author of The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management.

Kaitlin blends psychology, yoga, and meditation to help people reconnect with their bodies and truly heal from the inside out. In this conversation, we explore what it really means when "the issues are in your tissues," how anxiety can show up emotionally, mentally, and physically, and why somatic healing is a missing piece for so many of us.

We'll unpack the driving forces behind control, what happens when we keep pushing through stress, and the first step to regulating your nervous system and building resilience — even when life feels out of control.

So if you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or ready to finally come home to your body… this episode is for you.

Let's dive in. 💫

I am so excited to share today's soul-nourishing episode with you because we're diving deeply into something we all crave - true love, deep healing, and relationships that really work.

I'm joined by the incredible husband-and-wife team, Jes and Wes Murphy — holistic hypnotherapists, NLP practitioners, and subconscious guides who are all about helping individuals and couples transform through deep emotional healing, subconscious reprogramming, and embodied transformation.

Their work blends 1:1 and couples coaching with powerful modalities such as 9D Breathwork, in-person retreats, and online programs — all designed to help individuals break free from limiting patterns, reconnect to their true essence, and create conscious, connected relationships. Through lived experience and an intuitive, soul-led approach, Jes and Wes create safe, sacred spaces where real, lasting change begins.

In this episode, we explore their own epic love story, what brought them together, the inner work they've done and lessons they've learned in partnership, the powerful practices they use to help others cultivate conscious, connected, and fulfilling relationships.

If you're curious about what it really takes to manifest this kind of love, navigate partnership with intention, or deepen your relationship through personal healing — this one's for you. Yes, I was taking notes too!

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now?

Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been 'iron deficient'.

But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results.

You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you.

In today's chat we cover:

• The important factors to consider with diet and testing, in your preconception phase.
• The importance of optimal iron in your body for women and in pregnancy, how this supports your growing baby.
• How to check your iron levels through testing.
• If you're being told your levels are low, why you should take a second look at your blood test results .
• The real markers and levels to look for to check for an iron deficiency.
• The underlying causes to real iron deficiency in women.
• What an iron infusion is, the dose of iron included and the health implications of this therapy.
• Stephs steps to holistically prevent and overcome iron deficiency.
• The important cofactors to support your body's use of iron in your body.
• Plus examples of foods and meals for healthy iron levels.

Did you know what you place on your skin, ends up in your bloodstream? This is something I'm constantly reminding my girls when they attempt to draw on their skin.

The movement of low-tox and body skin care products is starting to gain momentum as people are finding out about the harmful ingredients that make up their fav products.

You're most likely aware of this for skin & body care products, but something that is often ignored is the fact that what you wear closest to your skin, can also impact your health, particularly your hormones.

Did the penny just drop? Are you thinking about all the items that make up your wardrobe?

Over the past couple of years, I've been much more conscious about the choices I make when purchasing clothes- opting for less, higher quality items, or those I will get the most wear from. But there'e something more important I'm looking at- the material it's made form.

Today, I discuss an overlooked but incredibly important topic: the materials we surround ourselves with daily—our clothing, bedding, and even towels—and how they can impact hormone health.

Plus, I share healthier, low-tox alternatives and practises that support your hormone health, fertility and so much more.

Are you struggling with low energy?

Having cycle issues?

Got cold hands & feet?

Hair thinning?

Do you notice lumpy or painful breasts pre-period?

Experiencing puffiness or difficulty shifting weight?

Perhaps you're trying for a baby, pregnant, breastfeeding or have little ones at your feet?

Or maybe you or a family member are exposed to chlorine regularly through pools, drinking or bathing?

Well, if you answered yes to any of these, you may be deficient in a mineral that is essential, particularly for woman, babies and children. When it becomes deficient in the body, through either inadequate intake or issues with absorption, this can lead to multiple symptoms and conditions.

In this episode you'll learn all about this critical mineral + I announce our Back To the Paddock product # 3!!

Going around in circles with your health challenges? Let me introduce you to an informative chat that may help you understand why.

Carolyn Ledowsky is the founder of MTHFR Support Australia. She is currently undertaking her PhD at the University of Technology Sydney where she is investigating methyl folate vs folic acid in women with recurrent miscarriage.

She is a health scientist, researcher, naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist whose focus is education of practitioners and how genetic susceptibility should be a cornerstone of any practice to improve patient outcomes. Her patient support programme intends to empower people to know what might be contributing to their chronic health issues.

Carolyn has spent 15 years supporting chronically ill patients from all over the world, who have searched, sometimes for decades, to find the reason behind their ill health.

Her practice specialises in genetic susceptibility and how this contributes to biochemical dysfunction and chronic health conditions.

Carolyn joins me for a very informative chat all things epigentics, MTHFR & Histamine Intolerance, in episode 126 of the 'Back To the Paddock' podcast.
