Episode Description

In this episode, Dr. Jenny Goodman — physician, author, and Ecological Medicine doctor — joins us to unpack the deep connection between environmental toxins, chronic illness, fertility, and mental health. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Dr. Goodman explains how everyday exposure to chemicals found in our food, homes, and products contributes to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and disease — and, most importantly, explains what we can do about it.

We explore practical, evidence-based ways to reduce our toxic load, from simple dietary shifts and detox practices to choosing safe mattresses, beauty products, and cleaning supplies. Dr. Goodman also sheds light on the impact of plastics, glyphosate, and radiation on reproductive health, and why preconception detox may be the key to protecting future generations.

You’ll hear guidance for pregnant women, insight into the link between pollution and mental health, and Dr. Goodman’s empowering reminder that healing doesn’t require perfection — just small, consistent changes. Whether you’re just starting your wellness journey or looking to take your health to the next level, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and hope for a healthier body and planet.

In this episode, Trauma-Informed Coach, Aspen Robinson, joins us to explore the lasting effects of trauma from dysfunctional relationships within the family unit and how it continues to shape our adult lives. With over a decade of experience in the field and profound expertise in family dynamics, Aspen works specifically with adults who still carry the weight of childhood trauma, helping them untangle long-standing emotional patterns and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Aspen is currently studying to become a Somatic Therapy Practitioner, which allows her to address trauma that is stored in the body. In this episode, she breaks down what trauma really is, what defines a dysfunctional family, and how unhealed wounds are passed down across generations.

We also dive into how roles like the scapegoat or parentified child can shape someone's sense of self, how cultural beliefs like "boys don’t cry" can deeply impact emotional development, and how parents influence our ability to regulate emotions long after childhood ends. Aspen also shares compassionate guidance on moving through trauma, distinguishing micro vs. macro traumas, and how forgiveness can be part of a healing journey without dismissing the depth of harm experienced.

Whether you’re actively healing or just beginning to ask questions, this episode offers profound insight, clarity, and encouragement for your path forward.

Our oceans are vast, teeming with life, and critical to the health of our planet—but they’re also under increasing pressure from human activity and climate change. In this episode of People & Planet, I sit down with Dr. Brock Bergseth, an award-winning marine biologist and conservation psychologist, to explore the beauty, resilience, and challenges facing our oceans today.

Dr. Brock Bergseth tackles some of the most pressing issues facing our oceans, including overfishing, illegal fishing, and poaching. For the past 13 years, his work has focused on understanding and shaping how people interact with coral reef ecosystems, with the ultimate goal of strengthening protection measures and reducing conflicts between humans and nature. 

As humanity’s footprint continues to expand, public sentiment toward conservation has increasingly shifted toward negativity and despondency—ironically, at a time when many positive trends and scalable solutions are emerging. In response to this, Brock is currently finishing his first pop science book, Wild Hope, a story centered on optimism for our planet’s future, aimed at shifting the narrative away from doom and gloom. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

From his years studying coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef to his work tackling overfishing and illegal fishing, Dr. Bergseth shares his unique insights into marine conservation, the impact of climate change, and why hope remains for the future of our oceans.
