What if the key to healing isn’t adding more, but coming back to yourself?
In today’s episode, we slow down to reconnect with the body, the breath, and the quiet wisdom within you. I’ll share a powerful practice to release stuck emotions (yes, even if journaling isn’t your thing) and guide you into a gentle remembrance of your inner child, the version of you who knew how to move freely, feel deeply, and live with wonder.
You’ll also learn why so many of us struggle to stay consistent, and how the shift from discipline to identity can make all the difference. Together, we’ll explore how rituals, community, and presence can help you stop striving and start embodying the version of you that already knows how to heal.

This is your invitation to reset. To release. To remember who you are.
So ask yourself: What are you holding onto that it’s time to let go of?

What if the way back to health isn’t about doing more, but about listening more deeply?
In this episode, I sit down with Seamus Mullen, award-winning chef, health coach, and chronic illness thriver, to explore how true healing begins when we shift from control to connection.
Seamus shares how his journey through autoimmune illness led him to reimagine food as nourishment, not restriction. We dive into the emotional and physical reset of fasting, how detoxing from modern toxins changed his vitality, and the unexpected healing that came from reconnecting with animals and energy.
This conversation unpacks what most wellness plans overlook: the impact of environmental toxins, the spiritual dimension of healing, and the quiet power of choosing rest over hustle. Seamus reminds us that healing isn’t a destination, it’s a remembering.

Seamus Mullen is an award-winning chef, health coach, and author who transformed his life after a near-death experience with chronic autoimmune disease. Through his personal story, Seamus reminds us that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach—and that sometimes, the most powerful medicine is believing in your ability to begin again.

What if the key to healing isn’t more effort—but a shift in your frequency?
In this episode, I invite you to explore a different kind of wellness—one rooted in emotion, energy, and intention. You’ll uncover why the way you feel each morning shapes every health decision you make, and how aligning with your core values becomes your blueprint for true healing.
I dive into the science of vibration, how unprocessed emotions can block detox pathways, and why clearing must come before nourishing. I also share simple, grounded practices to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and begin healing from the inside out.
If you’ve been trying all the right things but still feel off, this episode is a permission slip to pause, go inward, and reset your inner state.
Because real healing begins not with doing more—but with feeling more aligned, clear, and calm in your own body.

What if your brain fog, cramps, or sleep issues aren’t random—but your cells calling out for minerals?

In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals, to explore why mineral depletion is one of the most overlooked causes of fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and more. We dive into how humic and fulvic minerals support cellular energy, detox, and hydration—and why our modern world quietly strips them away.
We also discuss how a few drops of plant-based minerals helped her recover from years of chronic symptoms, burnout, and gut issues—and together, we unpack how to gently restore your body’s ecosystem using nature’s original medicine.

What if the first step in healing isn’t a new supplement or test—but learning how to feel safe in your own body?
In this episode, I’m guiding you through the foundational (yet often overlooked) first step in any healing journey: regulating your nervous system. We explore why your body can’t heal when it’s stuck in fight-or-flight, how to recognize the subtle signs of chronic stress, and the ancient rituals that help us come back home to ourselves—starting with the breath.
I also share the deeply personal story of how my own health unraveled in my 20s—despite doing “everything right”—and how it took walking away from the noise of modern wellness to remember what healing truly feels like.
This episode is an invitation to soften. To get curious. To stop chasing protocols and start listening to your inner wisdom. We’ll walk through breathwork, circadian rhythms, and the power of building your own sanctuary for rest—because you deserve to feel good again.
If your symptoms feel confusing, your stress feels constant, or you just need a moment of grounding... this is for you.

What if your anxiety isn’t just emotional—but something deeper starting in your gut?
In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Uma Naidoo, Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist and bestselling author of Calm Your Mind with Food, to explore the powerful link between what we eat and how we feel. We unpack how artificial sweeteners, processed foods, and even “healthy” snacks can silently disrupt your gut-brain connection—impacting mood, focus, and emotional resilience.
Uma shares her own healing journey through cancer, and how simple, grounding meals became her medicine. You’ll learn why your microbiome matters, how to spot food-mood triggers, and which everyday habits can help soothe anxiety from the inside out.

What if your brain fog isn’t just stress—or your anxiety isn’t just “in your head”? What if it’s inflammation quietly hijacking your mind and body?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Perlmutter to uncover the hidden epidemic of neuroinflammation and how modern life is silently reshaping our brain health.

What if the reason you’re feeling foggy, inflamed, or hormonally off is sitting right in your liver?

In today’s episode, I sit down with liver health expert Siggi Clavien to explore why this master organ holds the key to so much more than detoxification.

And if you’ve ever found yourself wondering: “Why does this stress seem to hit me harder than it should?”, then this episode is for you!
