In this nourishing conversation, Tonya sits down with Heng Ou - founder of MotherBees and author of The First Forty Days, Awakening Fertility, and The Nine Golden Months - to explore fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum as sacred portals rather than purely medical events. Together, they unpack how nourishment, ritual, emotional care, and slowness create fertile ground not only for conception and birth, but for creativity, healing, and rebirth across every stage of a woman’s life. Drawing from Traditional Chinese Medicine, ancestral wisdom, and lived experience, Heng invites us to remember that food, warmth, rest, and community are not luxuries - they are essential medicine.

In this episode, we explore:

• Fertility as an energetic, emotional, and spiritual state - not just a biological one
• How stress, modern pace, and disconnection impact conception and vitality
• The wisdom of the first 40 days postpartum as a sacred healing and bonding portal
• Why warming, nourishing foods and ritual protect mothers from depletion and burnout
• How the “40-day portal” applies to creativity, grief, rebirth, and major life transitions

In this powerful New Year’s solo episode, Tonya welcomes 2026 by unpacking its collective numerology, energetic themes, and spiritual invitations. Moving out of the heavy closure of the 9-year cycle of 2025, this conversation explores what it means to step into a 10 year: the year of the Radiant Body, the Fire Horse, and embodied leadership.

In this reflective end-of-year solo episode, Tonya shares her experiment with stepping away from alcohol and mind-altering substances, exploring what clarity, nervous system regulation, and intuitive refinement have revealed along the way. Rather than framing sobriety as an identity or moral stance, this conversation approaches it as an experiment in listening more closely to the body, the nervous system, and inner truth. Tonya weaves together personal history, cultural reflection, nervous system science, and subtle energetic awareness to examine how normalized habits shape our health, perception, relationships, and creativity. From social dynamics and “contact highs” to sleep, intuition, and spiritual depth, this episode invites listeners into honest self-inquiry as we move toward a new year with greater intention, sovereignty, and trust in the body’s wisdom.

Topics Covered:

• Exploring sobriety as an experiment in nervous system clarity rather than an identity
• How alcohol impacts the nervous system, sleep, intuition, and emotional regulation
• Sensitivity, co-regulation, and why certain environments feel louder or more draining when sober
• Navigating social situations, boundaries, and nervous system hygiene without substances
• Reflection questions for choosing habits that support clarity, creativity, and embodiment

In this expansive and energizing conversation, Tonya and holistic business strategist Abbi Miller dive deeply into the concept of the Zone of Genius or as Abbi calls it, the Zone of Aliveness. Together, they explore the embodied, intuitive, and often nonlinear journey of discovering the work that makes us feel most alive, the traps that lead to burnout, and the practices that sustain creativity over the long term. Abbi shares her personal evolution from actress to yoga teacher to business strategist, breaks down the realities of wearing every hat as an entrepreneur, and offers grounded, practical tools for staying connected to your body, time, intuition, and boundaries.

This episode is equal parts inspiring and actionable, filled with rituals, audits, cycle-syncing, and reflective questions to help listeners reconnect to their aliveness and create in a way that is sustainable, true, and distinctly their own.

Topics Covered:

• Zone of Genius vs. the Zone of Aliveness and why “feeling alive” is often easier to recognize than feeling like a “genius.”
• The real relationship between burnout, creativity, and staying in the game long enough for your work to flourish.
• A four-step scope audit to prevent overwhelm and reclaim your time.
• How cycle syncing, somatic awareness, “body before biz,” and weekly audits help entrepreneurs stay aligned and energized.
• Why innovation often makes you feel like a “freak” and why being first, different, or unconventional is actually a sign you're on the right track.
