In this powerful and honest episode of The FitZen Project, host Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Dr. Laure DeMattia to explore the deeply personal relationship between food, health, mindset, and self-discovery. Together, they unpack the noise of diet culture, the rise of weight-loss medications, and the importance of learning how to truly listen to your body in a wListeners walk away with grounded, actionable insights, including:

• Recognizing personal triggers around food
• Using portion awareness without shame
• Practicing presence during meals
• Making gradual changes that support long-term health

✨ Key Takeaways

• Health is not defined by appearance
• Mindful eating begins with awareness, not restriction
• Your body is constantly communicating—learning to listen is the work
• Sustainable change beats short-term fixes every time

This episode is a reminder that your health journey is deeply personal. When you shift from control to curiosity, food becomes a tool for nourishment, regulation, and self-respect.

This conversation is part of Rachel’s January Regulation Series, focusing on health regulation through awareness, compassion, and sustainable self-care.

Rachel and Dr. DeMattia discuss how food is one of the most overlooked forms of self-care. With more than half of meals consumed outside the home, they explore how processed foods, marketing tactics, and convenience culture impact our health—and how mindfulness can shift that relationship without restriction.

What if financial planning wasn’t about chasing a number—but about designing a life that actually feels aligned?

In this episode of The FitZen Project, I’m joined by Mike Milligan, author, Certified Financial Planner®, and Founder of 1 Oak Financial—a firm dedicated to helping pre-retirees and new retirees build intentional, values-driven financial futures.

As part of the FitZen Regulation Series, this conversation explores financial regulation through the lens of conscious leadership. Mike challenges the traditional obsession with “Return on Investment” and instead introduces a more grounded, human approach he calls “Return on Life.”

We talk about money as energy, clarity, and stewardship—and how financial decisions are deeply influenced by the nervous system, self-trust, and personal values. Rather than chasing a generic number or timeline, Mike shares how to design a financial plan that supports your unique life purpose, seasons, and capacity.

In this episode, we explore:

• Financial regulation and why calm creates better money decisions
• The shift from Return on Investment to Return on Life
• Money as energy management, not just math
• How conscious leadership applies to wealth and legacy
• Designing a financial plan that supports the life you actually want to live

This conversation is for anyone seeking clarity over chaos, alignment over accumulation, and a financial approach that feels supportive—not stressful.

If you’re ready to regulate your relationship with money and lead your financial life with intention, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Deepak Chari, a biofeedback engineer and healer whose work blends technology, voice frequency, and emotional intelligence to help people relieve anxiety, clear subconscious patterns, and create lasting transformation.

Deepak shares his personal journey—from childhood bullying and an engineering career to pioneering a healing approach rooted in biofeedback and voice technology. Together, they explore how emotional imprinting from the womb, early childhood, and parental relationships shapes adult behavior, relationships, and self-worth.

This episode dives deep into the science and intuition behind emotional healing, generational trauma, and the “quantum leaps” that occur when limiting beliefs are identified and cleared. Deepak also shares real-life success stories from clients who have experienced profound changes in their relationships, confidence, health, and opportunities.

If you’re curious about how your voice, subconscious mind, and emotional history influence the life you’re living today—and how to access unlimited possibilities—this conversation is a must-listen.

✨ Key Takeaways

• How subconscious emotional patterns formed in childhood shape adult relationships, anxiety, and self-worth
• Why voice technology and biofeedback can identify and clear limiting beliefs at the nervous-system level
• The connection between generational trauma, emotional imprinting, and repeated life patterns
• What “quantum leaps” in healing look like when emotional blocks are released
• How blending science, intuition, and frequency creates lasting personal transformation

What does it truly mean to make your life count?

In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Bill Goodwin, author of Priority Living: Seven Pillars to Make Your Life Count, to explore intentional living, personal growth, and the deeper purpose behind how we spend our time, energy, and attention.

Bill shares the life-changing experience that led him to develop the Seven Pillars of Priority Living—a framework designed to help people stop merely accepting their lives and start leading them with clarity and intention. Together, they unpack what it means to live with purpose, create impact, cultivate meaningful connection, embrace generosity, and build a legacy that extends beyond personal success.

This episode challenges the hustle-driven mindset of “doing more” and instead invites listeners into a rhythm of being, growth, exploration, and contribution. If you’ve ever felt called to slow down, realign your priorities, or pursue a life rooted in significance rather than achievement, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

✨ Key themes include:
intentional living, life purpose, personal growth, impact, rhythm over schedules, connection, generosity, legacy, and making your life count.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• You don’t have to face death to start living intentionally
• Most people accept their lives instead of leading them
• Goals are seasonal, but growth is lifelong
• Success is what we gain; significance is what we give away
• You can’t give away what you don’t have
• Living in rhythm creates more fulfillment than rigid schedules
• Wonder, exploration, and generosity are essential to a meaningful life

What does it truly mean to awaken — not just spiritually, but embodied in how you live, love, and lead?

In this deeply moving conversation, Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Regan to explore the lifelong journey of spiritual awakening, divine presence, and the radical responsibility of living with integrity.

✨ Listen with an open heart.
 ✨ Stay present.
 ✨ Choose integrity.

🌿 Key Takeaways

• Love and forgiveness have the power to heal generational and relational wounds
• Daily spiritual practices keep us connected to divine presence
• Health crises can act as catalysts for miraculous transformation
• Urgent spiritual “calls” often arrive when we’re ready to realign

• Culture reflects our collective spiritual responsibility

What if the anxiety you’ve been fighting… is actually the doorway you’ve been avoiding?

In this powerful conversation, Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Sari Cowsert for a raw and revealing journey through chronic anxiety, panic attacks, identity shifts, and the uncomfortable truth of what happens when your entire sense of self begins to unravel.

Sari shares the reality of living in a constant survival state—waiting for the next panic wave, searching for validation, and trying to build an identity around other people’s perceptions. What unfolds is a story of vulnerability, self-love, and remembering who you were before fear took over.

Together, Rachel and Sari explore:

• How anxiety shapes your identity (and how to take it back)
• The power of vulnerability as a healing tool
• What really happens when your nervous system has been in survival mode for years
• Why validation becomes addictive—and how to break the cycle
• Meditation and the spiritual practices that helped quiet the internal chaos
• Rebuilding trust in humanity when life has shaken your faith
• The beauty of tearing down the old self to meet the real you

This episode is an invitation:
 Not to overcome anxiety… but to understand it.
 Not to eliminate fear… but to walk through it.
 Not to fight the portal… but to step into it.

If you’ve ever felt lost inside your own mind, questioned your identity, or wondered if you’d ever feel “normal” again—this one will land in your bones.
