In this episode, Julissa sits down with fertility awareness educator Emma Goff to unpack what body literacy actually means in real life.

Emma explains how fertility awareness goes far beyond “tracking your period” and into understanding your body’s biomarkers, ovulation patterns, cervical changes, and reproductive health in a way most women were never taught.

Alongside fertility education, Emma shares her own life pivot — shifting away from running an in-home daycare full-time to protect her mental health and create more spaciousness for her family. The episode beautifully ties autonomy, decision-making, and body awareness together.

Talked about in this episode:

• What fertility awareness actually means
• Biomarkers and understanding ovulation
• Body literacy and why it matters
• Tracking cycles manually vs. digitally
• Cervix position changes during a cycle
• Post-birth anatomical changes
• Pelvic floor physical therapy
• Mental health and seasonal career pivots
• Choosing yourself without guilt

In this heartfelt episode of Mindset Mastery, Julissa sits down with licensed massage therapist and former firefighter/EMT Kristin Carestio to explore what it really means to pivot toward alignment.

After a 13-year career in emergency services, Kristin found herself navigating burnout, chronic migraines, motherhood without a village, and deep personal grief after losing her sister. While serving others had always been her calling, the intensity of EMS began colliding with her home life.

Kristin shares how massage therapy became not just a new career path, but a way to create healing, balance, and peace for herself and others. She opens up about building a business while “fumbling through,” navigating family transitions as her husband shifts roles in his own firefighting career, and the ongoing work of maintaining self-care during seasons of change.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that alignment doesn’t mean life becomes perfect. It means choosing the hard that honors your why.

Talked about in this episode:

• Transitioning from firefighter/EMT to massage therapist
• Burnout in first-responder careers
• Chronic migraines and stress-related health impact
• Navigating motherhood without a support system
• Creating a peaceful home environment
• Building a small business from scratch
• Self-care during seasons of adjustment
• Finding your “why” as your driving force
