- Thriving! People With Periods and Those Who Support Them with Maisie Hill
This podcast is for entrepreneurs of many kinds. It's for people with periods and those who support them.
Masie and I explore all sorts of themes around creating safer healthcare - whether we’re patients or practitioners. Together we leave no stones unturned…can healthcare professionals be allies for women and those with menstrual cycles? How can patients feel safer as their own advocates? How can we as entrepreneurs allow deep vulnerability and strength to navigate life impacted by overwhelm and health challenges? How does being knowledgeable of our own cycles shape our approach to life and work?
We touch also touch on:
- How to build a new relationship with your cycle
- Altering your experience of life and business
- How you can thrive long term as someone who experiences a cycle.
A bit about Maisie

Embodied Coaching Experience
1 hr 8 min - Behind the Scenes with my Copywriter Jacqueline Paumier Part 2
Calling all healthcare professionals! Why don’t relationships with your patients last? You had one session…but you could have had 40. If you’re missing out on being trauma-informed in your practice your patients may not come back if you don’t build a trusting relationship from the start.
When we are trauma-informed, we learn ways to not add stress to an already stressed person.
This episode is a behind the scenes view of how I talk about my work and how I think about trauma-informed care in the healthcare setting. In the process of rebranding my site, I’ve hired an incredible copywriter, Jaqueline Paumier, to help me create new thoughts and ideas about how I share my work. In representing my work, in alignment with my values, I share how I view my work in trauma.
Most healthcare professionals have to armor-up pretty young in order to cope with their surroundings. A lot of my clients are doctors and midwives and have been witnessing some scary stuff throughout their experiences in their work, and the standard self care coping techniques may not really cut it.
This is why I built the course, Creating Safer Healthcare.
Trauma-informed care is about an entire team…a system…the entire team needs to be educated to provide this kind of support.
If you know a healthcare professional who could benefit from this work, please share it with them!
We didn’t know we were going to release this as a podcast so it’s super casual and not perfectly linear. Please excuse the messiness! I thought it would be fun for you to listen to anyways.
A bit about Jacqueline
Jacqueline offers a “holistic copywriting” approach. In her own brilliant words: “Look…I’m not here to give you anything you don’t already have. I’m just here to help you curate it, and get it out into the world. The right way.”

19 min - Behind the Scenes with my Copywriter Jacqueline Paumier Part 1
For coaches, therapists and facilitators of the world…this episode is a behind the scenes listen of how I talk about my work and how I think about my work.
In the process of rebranding my site, I’ve hired an incredible copywriter, Jaqueline Paumier, to help me create new thoughts and ideas about how I share my work. In representing my work, in alignment with my values, I share how I view my work in trauma.
We get into my definitions of trauma and trauma-informed care. I share about nervous systems and how we build relationships with others. We talk about how as coaches we can be strong enough to hold chaos, establish boundaries, and clarify a safe container for regulation and growth.

20 min - Visibility Medicine for Sacred Bad-Asses, Dreamers and Doers, Visionaries and Big-Hearted Healers with Danielle Cohen
We have more access to creativity, intelligence and expression when we feel safe.
In this episode I interview Danielle Cohen, a visibility coach and brand photographer. She describes how no single image COULD EVER tell the full story of who you are…and in this episode she shares with us that we can build a body of work and a body of expression to share our work with the world. We also talk about and breakdown:
- How we contribute to growing "safeness" with our clients and the groups we facilitate
- How being explicit with our roles, expectations and agreements is kind to those we are working with
- Attachment theory, CPTSD, developmental trauma and various ways to build a foundation between us and those that we support when in the role of care provider
- How to co-create space with others and acknowledge each of our individual needs for safety.
These tools are helpful for everyone - not just folks with trauma.
About Danielle:
Danielle Cohen (she/her) is a visibility coach and brand photographer with a unique approach to helping pro-social creative entrepreneurs, coaches, visionaries, and healers (aka beacons) step into and offer their greatest work by becoming more visible on their terms, owning their story and their magic, having the impact they’re here to have and thriving while doing it.

51 min - Tending to Insecurities and Comparison in Work and Life
This episode is for people who are entrepreneurs running their own coaching, therapy and wellness-based businesses.
Do you ever secretly (or not so secretly) get stuck comparing your offerings to others in your industry? Do you get stuck in freeze or get bogged down overwhelmed by what everyone else is doing?
In this episode, I share how I recently navigated this inside myself and investigate my own experience of comparison in relationship to running a coaching business. Being an entrepreneur comes with all sorts of emotions and internal processes. I share 4 ways to embrace insecurities: staying "in our lanes,” focusing on our own mission, committing to our visions and leaning into support.

27 min - 9 Tips for Your Trauma-Informed Practice
Do you ever wonder what specific things you can do and say to better support your clients who've experienced trauma?
In this episode, I go over 9 key takeaways that you can start integrating into your practice NOW (whether you're a coach, therapist, facilitator, healer or healthcare professional) to bring more trauma sensitivity into your workplace and provide trauma-informed care to your clients.
The thing is...we don't always know what trauma our clients have endured, nor do we always know how trauma shows up in the individual we work with.
These broad-spectrum tips will help you help folx who've experienced trauma - by developing trust, honoring where they're at in their journey, and establishing a safe-enough setting for healing.
As you'll discover...trust is also developed in the repair, that is...how we acknowledge, address and hold space for when we screw up.
If you don't already have it, here's access to my 7 Step Process for Revolutionary Repairs video! This is a perfect follow up lesson to my Tip #9: Trust is Built in the Repair.

59 min - When Pushing As Athletes and HSP's Becomes Too Much with Casey Hall
Casey and I find so many personal and professional similarities as we explore concepts like Slowing the F down in our work and in our trauma healing. We share:
- Our histories as highly competitive athletes, ignoring our bodies and living in a state of pushing through to perform.
- The highs and lows of being athletes from such young ages.
Casey brings her steadiness, joyfulness and spaciousness - modeling the deep embodiment and inner connection she’s gained now and is an advocate for in all of her work.

She began her career teaching nutrition and physical activity to children and adults with disabilities and was even a high school sex-ed teacher!Casey went on to teach wellness on a larger scale, focusing on disease management, weight loss, and holistic stress management.After coaching thousands of people, she recognized there was a missing piece to the holistic wellness equation.Through spending 2 years getting certified as a Sex, Love, and Relationship coach, she realized that forming a healthy relationship with your sensuality was the missing piece.Healthy sensuality means being connected to your senses, to the messages that your body is constantly giving you, and understanding how this connection plays a crucial role in your relationship to yourself and others.Sensuality is a tender topic and Casey attributes her ability to navigate it lovingly and effectively to her trauma-informed training.Casey is now a full-time Healthy Sensuality Coach and co-hosts the podcast "Slow The F Down Show".She also is co-founder of The Love School - A Group Coaching Program.Have a listen and let me know how it lands for you!

55 min - The Inner Bitch and Access to Clarity and True Connection with Ellinor Grace
Ellinor Grace and I explore what it's like to welcome the "inner bitch" part of themselves and share their past experiences of what it's like to not have access to anger, healthy boundaries and personal needs and wants. Through connected conversation, we honor the inner people pleaser and those parts that were trying so much to help us feel safe, loved and with a sense of belonging.
A bit more about Ellinor, in her words:

About Relationship As Medicine
From the publisher's feed
Relationship As Medicine with Shelby Leigh, LPC, explores healing beyond pathology — where connection is the medicine and “fixing” isn’t the goal. Rooted in somatics, trauma healing, and nervous…
system tending, it expands into neurodivergence, including high-masking Autism, ADHD/KCS/VAST, AuDHD, and neurocomplexity (Mackereth, 2023). For therapists, coaches, wellness providers, and anyone curious about their own neurotype, this is a space to unlearn, de-stigmatize, and come home to yourself — to be ignited, inspired, and met with fierce compassion, with zero interest in masking who you are.
