Priestess of Motherhood with Dania Foster

For years I felt frustrated that I couldn't get an answer why I had irregular periods.

I got the same advice over and over - lose weight, go on the pill...

I had to dig deeper into my own research... PCOS and Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) came to my attention...

But I didn't have the markers for PCOS and I wasn't underweight or an elite athlete... isn't that what you must be for HA to be relevant??

Here’s the truth: irregular cycles aren’t just about PCOS or “being too skinny” with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). You can have HA in a bigger body. You can be dismissed, misdiagnosed, and left unheard.

There's more to this story.

In this episode of The Priestess of Motherhood Podcast, I rip the bandaid off these myths and share what really drives missing periods — and how to finally come home to your body.

• Why missing periods aren’t just about weight loss or being underweight
• The difference between PCOS and HA — and why I didn’t fit either “box”
• How HA can happen in any body size when the brain thinks you’re under threat
• Tests to ask for: LH, FSH, prolactin, thyroid, and more.
• The emotional and lifestyle patterns that can disrupt your cycles
• How we explore this deeply in Priestess of Motherhood Mentorship
• The real path to cycle healing: nourishment, rhythm, emotional work, and sacred connection

You’ve tried it all—and your body still feels heavy, bloated, broken.

Priestess of Motherhood Podcast with Dania Foster Season 2 Episode 21The hidden roots to stubborn body fat.

This isn’t a “fix your body” episode.
It’s a “hear her truth” episode.

We’re exploring how unprocessed shame, grief, and self-loathing get coded into our hormones, our weight, our cycles—and why the solution isn’t more control, but more compassion and clarity.

I’m not speaking from a mountaintop.
I’m in this work with you.

I haven’t ‘arrived’—but I have a map, and it’s working.
This is what I use to pull myself out when I spiral into self-rejection.

This is how I mother myself when my period wipes me out.

This is the path I walk with my clients—and I want to walk it with you too.

Healing isn’t linear and you’re not behind.

Season 2 Episode 19
When You Can’t See Progress - Zoom OUT

If you’re questioning whether all your inner work is actually working, this episode is the recognition your soul has been asking for.

Because progress isn’t always visible. Sometimes it looks like stillness. Softness. Choosing rest over collapse.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what true transformation really looks like - and how to stop measuring it by surface level results.

We explore:

• Why the “messy middle” is where the deepest healing unfolds

• How to track your progress through nervous system shifts, symptom scaling and not what it looks like from within the eye of the storm.

• Real-life examples of spiral healing and sacred recalibration

• The power of viewing your journey in seasons, not checklists

If you’ve been spiralling in doubt or shame... it’s time to zoom out.

You’re growing roots right now. Let it be slow. Let them be deep.

They say happiness comes from within... but what if you've got nothing left to make it??

Season 2 Episode 18
Fuelling for Happiness — Emotional, Energetic, Nutritional

Let me say it loud: You are not underperforming. You are undernourished.

In this episode, I break down why emotional and energetic resilience starts with what’s on your plate, in your rituals, and flowing through your cells.

We explore:

• The biochemical roots of happiness (and why mindset alone won’t cut it)

• Why the nervous system can’t access joy in a state of depletion

• How to use food, herbs, minerals, and rest to rewire your emotional baseline

• The exact morning questions and rituals I teach my clients to reclaim energy + joy

This is your permission slip to stop pushing and start nourishing.

Because when your body is fed, your joy becomes inevitable.

Season 2 Episode 17
Generational Lineage Healing to Break Maternal Rage Cycles

You’re not broken. You’re carrying inherited trauma. And your rage? It’s not shameful it's a sacred messenger. It’s asking to be witnessed, understood, and transmuted.

In this episode, we talk about maternal rage as a doorway, not a flaw. We explore what it means to carry the wounds of the women before you and how to finally lay them down.

We explore:

• Why rage is often the final mask of unprocessed grief and unmet needs

• The nervous system link between generational trauma and reactive mothering

• How to become the cycle breaker without abandoning yourself

• Somatic and energetic tools I use to alchemise rage into power

This episode is for the woman who’s done with shame.

Who’s ready to stop hiding.

And who’s here to raise her children from a place of embodied, liberated love.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered who you’ve become, this episode is a call to return home—to the version of you that existed before the masks, before the survival mode, before the world told you who to be.

Season 2 Episode 16

Why I Prescribe Music in Your Daily Rituals

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognised the woman staring back?

She’s done all the right things. She’s held it all together. But somewhere along the way… she disappeared under the masks of motherhood, people-pleasing, hustle, and surviving.

In this raw and revealing episode, I’m sharing why music is a tool I prescribe daily—for nervous system healing, for emotional expression, and for coming home to the real you.

We explore:

• How masking and people-pleasing create a disconnect between your body, identity, and joy

• Why regulating the vagus nerve is a key to healing your gut, hormones, and emotional wellbeing

• The science behind music’s effect on the brain and nervous system

• How shadow work, deep emotion, and YOUR music tastes can become a sacred part of your rituals

This episode is for the woman who’s tired of pretending.
The one who craves truth, depth, and the safety to feel it all.
You don’t need to become someone new—you just need to remember who you already are.
