Are you feeling “anxious, frustrated, or "not enough” lately?
Do you wake up wishing the day was over before it began?
For so many, mornings are the hardest. Instead of excitement, there’s anxiety. Rather than walking with confidence, you're held back by the worry of what others might say. And without a supportive community, feeling connected can be tough to come by.
Now, what if your morning started with a sense of purpose, calm, and clarity? A day where you’re moving through the day without hesitation or fear of judgment. And one where you're surrounded by people who make you feel accepted and seen.
In this episode, I chat with my friend, Military Veteran, and Mindset Coach, Melanie Kasten. Mel shares her journey of releasing past fears and embracing authenticity, to quiet the negative chatter in her mind, and overcome self-sabotaging behaviors.
It's so easy to get stuck in a cycle of worry, fear, and negative self-talk. But Mel's story shows that it is possible to break free and cultivate a healthier, more empowered mindset.

As a mom of 3 boys, a military veteran, and a loving wife to Jason, she has been on a self-discovery path for the last 4 years and has smashed through limiting beliefs, negative thought patterns, grief, and becoming the best version of herself.
She has been a health and wellness coach for the last 17 years and found her love and passion in mindset coaching.

You're at your breaking point. The pain lingers, your energy is drained, and no matter how hard you try, your wellness plans don't seem to work.
You've tried the diets, the detoxes, and the supplements. But every time, it’s the same result: exhaustion, frustration, and disappointment.
In this episode, I share a therapy, which I have been using intermittently over the years in various ways. It is called PEMF, and my special guest, Joe LeHotay, shares insights about what PEMF is, how it works, and its benefits for our well-being.
Whether you’re in pain, managing stress, or just seeking to raise your energy, there’s hope. With PEMF therapy, you can energize your cells, power up your recovery, and build a stronger foundation for your health. Tune in now!

It's rare for a month to go by without me discussing saunas (honestly, I could talk about them all day! lol), particularly Clearlight's Infrared Sauna.
I love Clearlight®️ because they created what I think are the safest and most effective infrared saunas on the market. Their mission goes beyond just producing a product; it revolves around promoting total wellness. Over the years, they've also developed various accessories and features that enhance the health benefits of their saunas, creating a powerful combination for a truly positive therapeutic experience.
Today, I am sharing more tips to enhance your sauna experience with these add-ons: essential oils, an AromaOne diffuser, and the HaloOne Salt Machine. Whether you’re there to unwind, boost your immunity, or treat yourself to self-care, these sauna enhancements make every session feel like a wellness retreat.

Waking up each day can feel tough when it brings the same discomfort that never ends. Inflammation keeps your body stiff. Anxiety keeps your thoughts spinning. And no matter how much you sleep, it’s never enough.
You’ve tried everything—medications, treatments, even those fad wellness trends. Yet nothing seems to get to the root of your health struggles. The weight of anger, tiredness, and hopelessness are things you know all too well.
Could there be a natural way to help your body heal? Something that didn’t have harsh side effects or add more stress to your already busy life?
In this episode, my special guest, Ethan Pompeo of Green Valley Nutrition shared his journey with PANDAS and how he found life-changing relief from CBD.
CBD also helps reduce inflammation, eases anxiety, and improves sleep. It can be a great addition to your health toolbox, but for the best results, it should be part of a bigger wellness plan. It’s not a quick fix. It's a way to support your body as you make other positive changes.
This episode is really a must-listen episode for anyone facing similar challenges. Tune in now!

With the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's no wonder many of us feel stressed and exhausted.
But what if the reason we're feeling worn out and not sleeping well is our living spaces?
In the rush of daily life, our home should be a safe place for rest and recovery. However, with electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and everyday stress sneaking into our surroundings, creating a relaxing environment has never been more important.
Today, I share some tips on how to shield your home from harmful electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) exposure and declutter your space. I also touch on natural tools like orgonites and crystals to bring balance back to your home.
If you want to create a space that promotes better sleep, reduces stress, and supports well-being, this is for you.

Are you feeling constrained by unexplained behaviors in the present?
Often, we carry emotional baggage in ways we don’t even realize, and this manifests physically—whether it’s through weight issues, chronic illness, or anxiety.
In this episode, I share a mind-body therapy called Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). It is capable of healing intergenerational trauma and rewriting your inner programming.
I also share my RTT session with Carey Weiss, an RTT Practitioner. The session helped me uncover childhood memories that shaped my self-image and relationship with food. Understanding these memories allowed me to release long-held beliefs and embrace a healthier mindset.
Healing is a journey. Sometimes, the roadblocks we run into come from sources we can't see. Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) offers to understand the unknown roots of our struggles. It helps mend old wounds and lets us take control of our health.
Tune in now and discover the benefits of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT).

Infrared saunas offer numerous health benefits. They're excellent for healing from an injury, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and even aiding in the recovery from brain trauma, such as concussions.
While I'm not a medical expert, I’ve experienced firsthand how this therapy can promote unbelievable healing, especially when combined with red light therapy. If you’re dealing with pain, or inflammation, or just looking for ways to boost your overall wellness, an infrared sauna might be worth considering.
In this episode, I'm answering these three questions:
I also shared bits and pieces of my recent travels especially my soul adventure in Banff, Canada. I would not have experienced Banff if I had not used a few specific therapies routinely over the years, and one of those is my Clearlight®️ infrared sauna.
Whether you’re an athlete or simply someone who wants to feel better in your body, the combination of heat and light therapy is a powerful tool.
Don’t forget that your health is your wealth, and making these small, mindful additions to your routine can truly change your life.

I’m coming to you today with an update on what's been happening in my world lately.
Over the past few months, I've been taking a step back to assess my projects and goals. So, I've intentionally set aside September to take a break from work and the day-to-day hustle, getting a little quiet with myself, and thinking about what I want to achieve with the Homes That Heal podcast.
September turned out to be all about travel, family, and discovery. It was absolutely amazing,
First off, Mom and I took a fabulous annual mother-daughter trip up to Bayfield, Wisconsin. Our special getaway is filled with relaxation, reminiscing, and rejuvenation.
Second, Mark and I went to West Palm Beach, Florida. We attended an event hosted by our amazing coaches Bob Burg, Kim Angeli, and Jeff West. More than an event, it’s an experience. It was all about connecting, sharing, living in gratitude, and creating a sense of support.
Lastly, I give you a heads-up of some of the exciting projects & upcoming episodes that I think you'll love.
So, what are you waiting for? Tune in now!

Managing your weight can feel like a challenging, daily task.
You check the mirror, hoping for progress, but the same reflection stares back. Every pound feels heavier, and you start to believe that your weight measures your value. There’s always a back-and-forth between not feeling good enough and wishing you could make a change.
How would it feel to finally escape this cycle? As the pounds fall away, so does the stress and anxiety that’s been holding you down. You wake up each day feeling lighter, confident, and full of self-love.

"Healing isn’t about levels or quick fixes; it’s about holding the frequency, elevating yourself, and embodying the work."
Those are the words of my friend Megan Zechel, who is sharing her family's health journey in this episode.
Megan's health struggles, including rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, and food allergies, led her down a path of self-discovery and holistic healing. She didn't find the answers she needed in traditional medicine, so she embarked on a journey of self-education, diving into holistic nutrition, herbalism, and other natural modalities. Her daughter's health issues led her to work with holistic practitioners to uncover the root causes, and the entire family made changes. Through this process, the whole family made significant lifestyle changes to detoxify their home and diet. Megan's husband also faced health challenges, including ulcerative colitis. Again, Megan refused to settle for conventional treatments and explored a more holistic approach, incorporating music therapy, plant medicine, and emotional healing work. The family's dedication to their well-being is truly inspiring.
Tune in now and be inspired to start taking on your healing journey with intention.
