Many women, including myself, struggle with hormonal issues. Whether it’s not getting enough sleep, brain fog, or memory loss, these issues can take over our everyday lives. And sometimes the medication we’re prescribed is just a cover-up of our symptoms, not actual solutions. So how do we get access to the solutions that will actually solve the root of our problems? 

This week’s guest is Dr. Komal Yadav. She is a triple board-certified physician in Family Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine. After years of working in traditional primary care, she pursued Functional Medicine to move beyond quick-fix approaches and address root causes. She now specializes in women’s health and hormones, integrating Eastern and Western healing to support whole-person wellness and inspire sustainable lifestyle change.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about women’s health, hormone balance, and whole-person wellness. Too many women are living in shame and confusion because the treatment they get does not solve their health problems; it’s just covering them up. But Dr. Komal Yadav works with a mix of both Western and Eastern medicine, allowing her to address her patients' symptoms while also addressing the root cause of their issues. If you’re feeling the effects of your hormonal issues and want to learn how to heal your whole body, listen to Dr. Komal Yadav’s episode for more information!

Today, I’m clearing up any misunderstandings there are about coaching. Because not everyone knows what coaching is, they don't know what they’re going to get before they book a session. Let’s start with what it's not. Coaching is not me giving you advice, and it’s not me giving you a pep talk. We’re way past that in our growth journey. 

It is my job as a coach  to help you become the calmest, clearest, most grounded, most powerful version of yourself. It’s my job to sit with you regularly, look you in the eye, and say, “Let's design your life and your relationship with intention on purpose so that you can actually feel the way that you wanna feel.” Most people don't know what that's like to have someone like that in their corner. And they don't realize the impact of having that kind of support until they experience it for themselves. 

In this week’s episode, we’re working on understanding coaching and why coaching can be a game changer to create lasting transformation. My clients know that they need coaching when they’re ready for an exciting new change. Their old lives don’t serve them anymore, and they know I can help them design a life and a love that will. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about coaching and how I support my clients!

There is magic in living a multifaceted life. Your life was never meant to be one thing. We can be mothers, and at the same time, we can be actresses, models, and animal activists all in one. It is possible, as long as we design our lives with intention and learn how to make everyday magic. This week’s guest knows how to do exactly that, and we’re going to pick her brain to find out how you can design a magical, multifaceted life too. 

Julana Dizon is a Los Angeles–based model, actor, and TV host known for her vibrant personality and adventurous spirit. She began her career in 2010 as a model, and after being fortunate enough to travel the world and work with some of her favorite brands, she later expanded into TV/commercials and hosting. From celebrity interviews to red carpets to live talk shows and soap operas, she's always chasing the next fun opportunity. And as a new mom with a passion for family adventures, she believes in a work-life blend and encourages women and moms to dream big while embracing everyday magic.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking to Julana about how she’s making everyday magic. Julana has to make some tough decisions about her career, her kids, and her life in general. She always knew that she wanted to design and live out her life with intention, but logistical roadblocks come along when you’re actually living that life. Through it all, Julana has learned to trust her gut and lean into intentionality when it comes to choosing her life paths. Tune in to hear how Julana blends her work life and her family life, and makes it work no matter where she is in the world.

Storytelling is one of the great ways we protect ourselves, especially as women. If you take a look at your bloodline, you’ll probably find very powerful women who had to go through so much adversity to get to where they are today. Our families carry stories of resilience and strength, but they are rarely ever written down or acknowledged. It’s time we honor these stories, and this week’s guest is a speaker who specializes in empowering women to recognize their strengths and share their stories.

Desire Cruz is a woman of faith, purpose, and passion. A devoted daughter of the Most High, she is blessed to walk alongside her husband, Jesse Cruz, and is a proud mother to three beautiful daughters — Haleigh, Mariah, and Faith — who are the heartbeat of her world. Desire serves as the Co-CEO of MERGE Worldwide and is the leading author of Warrior Women, a powerful testament to resilience and sisterhood. Beyond her literary accomplishments, Desire is an international world traveler, event planner, transformation coach, and keynote speaker. Her life’s mission is deeply rooted in empowering women to rise into their fullest potential. Whether she’s inspiring audiences from stages around the globe or creating life-changing experiences through her events, Desire’s heart beats for women’s empowerment and personal transformation. In her quiet moments, she enjoys connecting with nature, which offers her peace and reflection amid her busy life of service and leadership.

In this week’s episode, Desire and I talk about her book, Warrior Women, and why your story matters. Desire opens up about her ideas of legacy, and why the lessons we learn from our mothers and grandmothers should be written down and taught for generations to come. And she’s not just talking about her family; everyone has valuable lessons that they can leave behind for their families. But to do that, you have to first acknowledge your own story and the warrior woman within you.

Sometimes we have to get to rock bottom before we make a change. My life coaching clients will sometimes come to me, telling me about the worst ways they’ve ever treated themselves, and they feel so incredibly guilty about it. They feel guilty because they didn’t trust themselves to make the right decision, and they don’t know how to find that worthiness in themselves again. Today, we’re going to work on how to listen to your body and restore that sense of self-worth, together, with a little help from this week’s guest.

Jen Aks, is an embodiment coach, author, thought leader, and founder of The Power of Gesture®, a groundbreaking bodyset practice that has helped thousands of women since its 2020 inception. While mindset helps us shape what we think, bodyset connects us to what we feel—offering a direct path to authenticity, presence, and confidence.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to listen to your body and get back to who you truly are. Jen Aks argues that we are not broken, and this practice of listening to our body is not about fixing ourselves, but restoring what is already within us. By listening to our bodies, we can start to heal the worthiness wound that we’ve been ignoring for too long. Tune in to Jen’s episode to hear all about her rock bottom moment and how she’s been restoring her self-worth for herself and for her coaching clients.

Have you and your partner ever dealt with infidelity? I typically help my clients before it ever gets to that point. Infidelity typically happens because there is a problem in the relationship. My clients and I work together on the everyday patterns and disconnections that, if not addressed, can slowly erode a marriage over time. But my good friend and guest on this week’s podcast episode, Luke Shillings, helps his clients after the affair has happened. I invited Luke onto the podcast to pick his brain about what happens after the affair, and if there’s a way to move forward after a spouse has been betrayed.

Luke Shillings is a relationship and infidelity recovery coach and the host of The After the Affair Podcast. Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching individuals and couples, Luke helps people move from emotional chaos to clarity after betrayal. His work blends compassion with practicality, helping clients rebuild trust, identity, and authentic connection, whether they stay or leave.

In this week’s episode, we talk about healing and rebuilding after infidelity. Luke’s story is special because he has been through infidelity himself. His wife betrayed him, they separated and divorced, and years later, they reconnected and rebuilt a life together, even though they chose not to remarry. So infidelity doesn’t always mean the end of the relationship. If both parties want to work towards reconciliation, it can be the start of better communication, answering questions, and building an even stronger relationship than the one they had before. Listen to Luke’s episode to hear his thoughts on rebuilding after infidelity and how both parties can take responsibility for their part in the relationship.

We will all go through hot and cold phases in our marriage. It’s inevitable. Whether you're exhausted from chasing around the kids or you feel like you’re stuck in the roommate phase, there will be long stretches of time where you look around and realize the spark is gone. And on top of that, you have no idea how to get it back. 

I want you to know that this is more normal than you think. Life is not like the movies; we don’t always have the same level of romance in every phase of our relationship. But if you feel like it’s time to get the spark back, then we can do it together. 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to reignite the spark in your marriage. We’re also going to talk about how to keep that spark alive once you’ve found it. Relationships take a little bit of work, just like everything else in life. So let’s get you two back together and fix this disconnect in your marriage.

Communication is a huge part of whether or not we have happy and healthy relationships. Not only because communication is a part of our daily lives, but it also builds every kind of intimacy we have. Emotional, mental, and physical intimacy all hinge on how we speak to each other. 

So when we’re out of touch with our partner, it can feel like the entire relationship is out of whack. You want to fix it, but you don’t know how, you don’t know what to say, and you don’t know why what you’re saying isn’t getting through to your partner. So what can you do when it feels like nothing is working?

In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to address our needs and frustrations efficiently and with care. The way we talk to each other is our daily foundation for our relationships. If we ever want to build our emotional, mental, and physical connection, we have to start with our communication.
