SHOCK & Y’ALL

Okay friends, this one’s big. 

Today I’m sitting down with Kathryn Henry - on the actual day her beautiful book A Dime to Say I Love You launches into the world (and yep, it’s already sold out on Amazon). 

What makes this episode even more meaningful? 

It’s also the birthday of her late wife, Lisa, who the book is all about. 

We talk about love, loss, and those unexplainable little moments that somehow remind you you’re still connected. 

Kathryn shares so honestly and with so much heart - you’re going to feel this one.

Highlights:

(01:15) Book launch + Lisa’s birthday = divine timing

(08:42) What grief really feels like in the body

(15:30) The meaning behind “dime moments”

(24:55) Strength training as emotional processing tool

(32:10) Why AFGOs are actually a gift

(44:40) Writing the book with Lisa still present

So, apparently all it takes is four emails telling me you liked the solo episode for me to get back on the mic - here we are. 

Today’s episode is short, slightly chaotic, and all about the difference between suffering and hard work. 

Big topic, big feelings, but don’t worry, it’s under 13 minutes and I manage to spiral only once or twice. 

If you’ve ever found yourself pushing through something just because that’s what you were taught to do, this one’s for you. 

Lets dive right in.

Highlights:

(00:40) Only took four compliments to get me back

(02:05) Suffering vs. hard work - know the difference

(04:48) You can literally choose discomfort. Wild, right?

(06:32) Your actions are louder than your words

(09:10) Maybe you’re living someone else’s values. Oof

(12:25) Suffering? Or just good old discipline? Decide

Oh hey - it’s a solo cast, y’all. 

Just you, me, and possibly my dryer in the background. 

I’m talking about how strength training has quite literally changed my insides - not just my body, but my breath, my thoughts, my actual sense of self. 

We’re getting into the real stuff - how movement becomes a mirror, a portal, and sometimes a straight-up punch in the gut... in the best way. 

If you’ve ever trained through heartbreak, exhaustion, or just sheer stubbornness, you’re gonna feel this one.

Highlights:

(02:41) You are the compass, not the noise

(06:55) Training makes old versions of you die

(10:08) Grief, workouts, and going full dark mode

(14:33) EMDR therapy legit saved my life

(19:05) Stop romanticising red light, start training

(29:40) Just survive an hour, then something shifts

Oh hey y’all. 

Today’s episode is raw, hilarious, and full of heart - just like my guest.

Jen Pastiloff is one of my dearest friends, and somehow this conversation manages to be both wildly unfiltered and deeply wise.

We get into everything: her new book Proof of Life, choosing “sober-ish,” the magic of her retreats, being a deaf lip-reading unicorn, and what it really means to live without permission slips. 

It’s messy, magical, and totally Jen.

Highlights:

(03:12) She’s deaf, raw, hilarious, and magic

(12:45) Pre-orders, panic, and doing love

(22:19) Proof of Life isn’t what you think

(34:50) Community is where I find God

(42:06) Screw happy, I want joy

(49:11) Money, safety, and hustling for worth

Okay y’all, today’s episode is personal. 

I’m talking with my hormone doctor, Dr. Christine Ibrahim - yes, the one who changed my actual life. 

She’s the first person who made sense of what was going on in my body and didn’t dismiss me with a “you’re fine” when I clearly wasn’t. 

We’re getting into the real stuff: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, what those blood panels actually mean, the difference between peri and menopause, and why your mental health might be taking a hit. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things and still don’t feel like yourself - this one’s for you.

Highlights:

(03:50) When bloodwork says “fine” but you feel awful

(07:42) Why Dr. Christine treats people, not numbers

(14:19) The IGF marker and feeling younger inside

(22:06) Cortisol steal: stress messing with your hormones

(28:45) 70+ symptoms of peri and menopause (yes, 70)

(38:10) The truth about that scary hormone study

Oh hey y’all - today’s guest is the brilliant Kim Shapira, and we are getting real about what wellness actually looks like. 

Spoiler: obsessing over every bite you eat isn’t it. 

Kim’s a registered dietitian with decades of experience, and her approach is all about peace around food, trust in your body, and getting out of the all-or-nothing mindset. 

We covered a lot - from why diets don’t work to how your nervous system plays a role in your cravings. 

This one felt like a reset for me, and I think you’re gonna feel that too.

Highlights: 

(04:43) Why obsessing over health isn’t actual wellness

(11:32) Shopping became the first coping mechanism

(18:18) Diets don’t fix what’s really going on

(24:48) “Start with half” - the first food rule

(36:02) The truth about GLP-1s and muscle loss

(44:50) What real freedom with food actually feels like

Hey Y’all.

This conversation with Cathy Heller felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket of truth. 

We talked about what it really means to live from abundance - not as something to chase, but something that's already yours. 

Cathy shares so beautifully about nervous system safety, trusting that the universe has you, and choosing presence over pressure. 

It’s one of those episodes that’ll land in your body as much as your mind. 

Highlights: 

(04:22) Abundance isn’t earned - it already includes you

(09:53) Safety is the strategy your body needs

(15:08)) Let your worth lead, not your hustle

(22:38) The universe only knows how to say yes

(31:07) Create from peace, not pressure

(38:27) Presence is the most powerful practice

Okay y’all, I need to brace you for this one. 

I’ve got Danelle Delgado on the show, and I’m doing everything I can to keep my inner fangirl in check. 

This woman? She’s a powerhouse - single mum, cancer survivor, business coach, author of I Choose Joy - and she somehow manages to serve up the truth with equal parts fire and heart. 

We talk about what it really means to have no zero days, why choosing joy isn’t fluff, and how pain has a seat at the growth table. 

Honestly, this conversation shook me in the best way. 

Let’s dive right in.

Highlights:

(04:18) No zero days - where it all began

(10:42) Everyone left. That’s when I heard myself

(22:05) Money on my terms. Period

(28:47) Tim Grover’s text that floored me

(40:10) You don’t need a big audience

(47:19) Your voice is your mic - use it well
