I Am Power

TW: Suicide and Suicidal Ideation
May is mental health awareness month and the topic of this weeks episode is probably one of the most important ones we could bring to you.

It seems the more I dive into this subject the more I see that so many people have been touched by suicide or suicidal ideation.

This week we have the honor of talking to Aly McNair @alymcnair founder of The Glow Stick Project as she shares her personal experience with suicide and how it’s led her towards using her voice to spread awareness and encourage change.

In this episode we discuss the importance of communication and breaking the disgrace behind sharing feelings or intrusive thoughts. As well as how we can spot struggles and be the help for ourselves and our loved ones.

The message of hope and love that Aly is spreading is one we wish all ears could hear.

Together we want to let you know that if you are not feeling well, or if you are struggling with your mental health, we encourage you to please reach out to a trusted friend, family member or The National Suicide Prevention Hot Line at 1-800-273-8255

The world is a better place because you are here. You are loved!

Have you ever heard of Amniotic fluid embolism? I hadn’t until one of Nicole’s videos showed up on my for you page. 

Nicole survived maternal death. Sounds wild and impossible, right? It’s true, she experienced this rare condition that affected her just moments before she was set to deliver her third baby. 

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an extremely rare, but life-threatening complication that affects pregnant women shortly before, during, or immediately following labor and childbirth. And tragically a lot of women never make it. Nicole is a part of that extremely small percentage of women who experienced this and is here to share her story about it. 

This week we have the honor of hearing Nicole’s story of AFE first hand as she shares her incredible story of survival and how she was able to literally survive death. She’s using her experience to spread awareness, empowerment and education to all women in hopes of bringing peace to families who may have been touched by this condition as well as disseminating life saving knowledge. 

We are truly thankful she is here with us today and honored to share her story with you!

We’re honored to start off season 3 with the incredible Dr. Ingrid Clayton. In this episode we talk about complex PTSD, trauma bonding and her personal healing journey with childhood, narcissistic abuse and the events that led her to creating her memoir.

Ingrid shares about her survival and her deep awakening to her own truth with trauma and the abuse she faced as a child. She explains, through this discovery, how she is finally able to take advantage of the tools she’s learned and used to help so many other people in her practice and apply them to her own experiences to begin healing herself.

Through much of this healing, Ingrid also shares the details that led to her unintentional memoir and in doing so, for the first time how she was able to see her trauma story through the lenses of a psychologist.

This episode is full of actionable steps and advice for your own healing journey as well as bringing awareness and understanding about trauma.

Gabriella helps guide us on a path towards finding the right therapist for ourselves based on our needs & the therapists specialties. Did you know you can really custom order your therapist? She helps us to really figure out what questions to ask & things to look for in our search for our search for a mental health professional that is best suited for our needs.

What if I told you that your body can heal itself. Would you believe me? Your body has an inborn ability to heal itself, naturally. But what if that power supply is cut off by let’s say, trauma. What happens then?

This week we are finding out as we talk to Caytlyn Dee a pelvic care practitioner as she shares her wealth of knowledge and how she is helping women on their journey towards self discovery and self healing through integrative pelvic healing.

You might be thinking what the heck is pelvic healing and why should I care? I know I did! Caytlyn shares with us how the body’s intricate design can be affected by any source of trauma or toxins therefore leaving parts of us sick in its wake. Sounds crazy but oddly sensible. This interview had my mind running rampant with curiosity and left me feeling like I’ve been living in a shell for 30 years with zero connection to who I really am. Physically and mentally.
Caytlyn shares with us how healing the core of our body is not just a mindset but a true physical action. She’s helping women emotionally, mentally and physically reclaim their health, body and mind with this powerful holistic practice.

Paving the way for women to have a deeper relationship with their bodies, teaching us to release societal and ancestral shame so we can center and heal our divine. Don’t miss this POWERFUL message!

Letting go of old habits and negative thought patterns is hard. Breaking the cycle of addiction is (probably) even harder.

This week we talk to the inspiring Patsy Berridge who did both and is using her new life to empower others do the same.

Patsy takes us on a journey of growth when she shares with us the details of her childhood and how negative thought patterns coupled with an addiction to alcohol led her down a path of darkness and how she was able to rise above it all.

She bravely shares with us how the death of her brother sent her spiraling deeper into addiction, hoping to drown her pain. For years she found herself traveling down a path towards self distraction until the day she made the powerful decision to cut ties with the drink and take control of her future.

We learn how Patsy was able to tap into her inner-self and gain control of her life through positive reinforcements from her husband and the power that was already inside her. We learn sobriety looks different for everyone and she shares tips on how we can regain control of our physical, mental and emotional-self through easy, consistent practices. How having a realistic, positive approach to life and all it has to offer us is all the ingredients we need to grow our most beautiful, successful and powerful existence.

She’s promoting freedom through emotions and encouraging us to not sit in our traumas but to learn from them, accept them and grow from them.

Can you have more than one? It’s a question we’ve probably all asked ourselves at some point.

I’ve had this topic brewing in my head about friendships ever since I seen an Instagram post about “grieving lost friendships.” And I thought, who else to talk to about this, than my very one friend, Sheena.

It’s scientifically proven that we are social creatures. We have an innate desire to connect, so why is that so hard sometimes?

This week we dive into the topic of friendships and discuss our personal experiences with the good, the bad and the ugly and why sometimes it’s just so damn hard to connect.

Sheena shares her personal and professional advice on the topic and we both get the opportunity to share our first impressions of each other and how our friendship was able to blossom in just 3 short years!

We get a little intimate, and share our experiences with loss, navigating past a toxic friendship and how to open up for future relationships.

If you love a good girl chat, this is the episode for you!

A Pregnancy Story
One women’s story of Adoption, IUI, IVF, And a Near Fatal Delivery.

Sarah Brenay
Wife and Mother of Three


This week is all about building families and the beauty and hope of an unconventional approach to parenthood.

*We talk with Sarah Brenay, wife and mother of three as she walks us through her heartwarming story of infertility, adoption and a near fatal delivery with twins.

Soon after marriage, Sarah and her husband had an immediate desire to start a family but they were quickly faced with the reality that this may never be a possibility when doctors discovered their infertility.

Sarah bravely shares with us her personal experiences with failed fertility treatments, IUIs, IVFs and a touching story of adoption when her good friend becomes pregnant and makes the heartwarming decision to place her baby with Sarah and her husband.

Shortly after her completed adoption Sarah and her husband decided to explore more fertility treatments in hopes of parenting biological children when a successful IVF landed them pregnant with twins and elated with the possibility of a bigger family!
It was late in the pregnancy when Sarah began to notice complications and was forced to deliver early. Those complications left Sarah with a life or death decision.

Sarah shares her story to bring hope to those who may also be struggling with infertility and bringing light to the beauty of the unconventional ways of parenthood.

From fashion stylist to CEO Danielle walks us through the steps she took that landed her entrepreneurial spirit into her self made, women ran business. 

Migrating to the US from the Philippines at the age of three with her family, Danielle saw first hand what it takes to be successful in America and the inequality that is inherently laid out for women in the work force. Seeing her mother work just as hard as her male counterparts to receive equal recognition, Danielle knew at a young age the disadvantages that she would face in the coming years. 

Fast forward, Danielle finds her passion for the arts and despite her family’s wishes she graduates seeking work in the fashion industry. Landing a highly sought after career, she quickly discovers what it’s like “working for the man” when she’s pressured into working unhealthy hours in unfavorable conditions. 

When the pandemic hit and emotions where running high for everyone, Danielle suffered the loss of her best friend and mother. This loss and the realization that what she wanted out of life was more than what her corporate job was willing to offer her, she cut ties with the large corporation to seek out her life’s potential and thus created her very own, women founded and ran marketing agency. 

She expresses that it wasn’t easy. With no money and no support, Danielle left her full-time job to be a CEO of an all-female digital marketing agency. Her goal for sharing her story is to inspire and motivate females and minorities to start pursuing their dreams. 

Taking her experiences and knowledge coupled with her desire to be the boss she never had, Danielle is setting the precedent for bosses across the globe.

Fillers, nips, tucks, and implants. Plastic surgery is being served up to women on silver platters at an alarming rate with breast augmentation being the number one elected surgery. 

Oddly enough, a quick google search on plastic surgery you may find it tough to find any negative talk of these procedures. You may have to do a little digging. Unfortunately, for a lot of women who face complications for such surgery’s like our guest Dr. Amanda Savage Brown, you may never find the connection to illnesses linked to plastic surgery (specifically breast implants, which we now know are NOT lifetime devices) until you’re faced with the illness itself. And even then you may have to dig even deeper to find the support backing your symptoms and intuitions. 

This week we talk to an incredibly strong soul, Dr. Amanda who has dedicated her life’s practice to helping women reclaim their bodies and minds from society’s beauty standards and breast implant illness.

Dr. Amanda bravely shares with us her personal experience with breast implant illness (BII) that lead her down a path of disability and pain. She shares how she was able to make the connection to her illness, what explant looked like for her and how she is embracing her own experiences to help women all over battle toxic trends and body dysmorphia. 

She has a powerful message we feel every woman should hear!
