What if the glass of wine you reach for at night isn’t harmless, but the thing keeping you from your full awakening?

In this solo episode, I get deeply personal about my sober curious journey and why walking away from alcohol became one of the most radical acts of self-love in my midlife. I unpack the cultural lies that glorify drinking, the coping mechanisms hiding beneath every pour, and how alcohol quietly disconnects us from our bodies, our clarity, and our healing.

This isn’t a lecture: it’s an invitation. I share the messy truths, the awkward social moments, and the profound empowerment I found after 90 days sober. If you’ve ever wondered what life could feel like without numbing, this episode is your permission slip to find out.

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your child’s autism diagnosis wasn’t just therapy hours, but healing their body from the inside out?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with pediatric dietitian and holistic health trailblazer Greer McGuinness to unpack the journey that began with her own son’s autism diagnosis. We explore the biochemistry, environmental factors, and overlooked medical pieces that can influence autism symptoms, and how addressing them can unlock a child’s potential.

Greer shares the integrative tools she’s used in her practice and her own home: biomedical testing, gut healing, detoxification, and nutrient optimization. We also talk about the roadblocks parents face in the conventional system, and why trusting your instincts as a parent might be your most valuable tool of all.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of a diagnosis, this episode will show you there is always more you can do and that your child’s story is still being written.

What if the story of your trauma, your resilience, and your rebirth has been living in your pelvis all along?

In this transformative episode, I sit down with Sophianic medicine woman and visionary mentor Caytlyn Dee to explore the power of pelvic work as a gateway to healing. We talk about how trauma imprints in the fascia, why women armor their bodies to survive, and what it really takes to feel safe enough to soften back into yourself.

Caytlyn shares her own story of trauma and healing, the gentle practices that begin to release what’s been locked away, and why creating safe, sacred community is essential for the journey. From nervous system science to womb wisdom, this conversation is both a map and an initiation.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, numbed out, or afraid of your own softness, this episode will remind you that your body isn’t betraying you. It’s carrying your story, waiting for you to set it free.

What if your fatigue, mood swings, and period problems aren’t random… but rooted in your minerals?

In this game-changing episode, I sit down with Amanda Montalvo, hormone healer, educator, and founder of Master Your Minerals, to talk about the missing link in most women’s health care: mineral balance. Amanda breaks down how birth control, copper toxicity, and undiagnosed deficiencies quietly wreck your hormones and why testing (not guessing) is the real revolution.

We cover everything from postpartum depletion to perimenopause chaos, thyroid issues, and why even “clean” diets can keep women sick if mineral loss isn’t addressed. Amanda’s journey from PCOS and hypothyroidism to full-body healing through mineral testing is the proof that knowledge + nourishment = power.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by your labs, this episode will show you the data behind the dysfunction and what to do about it.

What if the very movement that promised to free us is now keeping us guarded, resentful, and disconnected from our deepest desires?

In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the shadow side of modern feminism, how it’s shifted from empowering women to perform independence, to subtly shaming softness, safety, and the desire to be held. I dive into my own journey with polarity, partnership, and nervous system healing, and why reclaiming the soft woman is the most radical rebellion of all.

We talk about healthy leadership in relationships, mutual growth (without the mothering), and the difference between self-responsibility and hyper-independence masked as empowerment. If you’ve ever felt torn between being the strong one and secretly craving to be led: you are so not alone.

This is your permission slip to be safe, supported, and still sovereign.

What if puberty wasn’t a crisis to manage, but a sacred initiation to honor?

In this deeply needed episode, I sit down with Dr. Tara Rawana, naturopathic doctor, youth educator, and co-founder of All About Mental Empowerment, to talk about what it really takes to raise emotionally grounded, confident daughters in today’s hyper-connected world.

We unpack the five stages of puberty, the impact of social media on body image, and the difference between just “educating” our daughters vs emotionally attuning to them. From shame-free sexuality talks to building trust and family connection, this episode is both a guide and a healing space for every parent navigating this rite of passage.

If you’re raising a daughter, or healing the girl you once were, this conversation is a must.

What if the most radical healing of your life didn’t come in a white coat but in your own kitchen, your own soul, and your refusal to give up?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Doris Kun, aka Detoxing Dori, who said no to conventional cancer treatment and yes to trusting her body. After a thyroid cancer diagnosis, Dori forged her own healing path through deep detox, emotional release, energetic healing, and fierce commitment to holistic wellness.

We dive into the limitations of the Western medical model, the metaphysical roots of illness, and the mind-body connection most doctors never mention. Dori shares how she created her own protocol, went into remission, and now helps others do the same by remembering that true healing is not just physical… it’s personal.

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s another way, this episode is your reminder that your body already knows the way.

What if your “mental health solution” quietly stole the very essence of who you are?

In this raw and riveting episode, I sit down with Amanda Burnett, a 30-year-old nurse turned activist, to talk about what happened after one panic attack led to a decade on Lexapro. From the initial relief to the soul-numbing side effects, Amanda shares the harrowing truth about SSRI withdrawal, the silence surrounding it, and the system that never taught her how to come off safely.

This isn’t anti-medication, it’s pro-informed consent. We talk about lifestyle shifts, the power of community, and the urgency of honest conversations around psychiatric drugs. Amanda’s story is one of grief, grit, and deep reclamation and her voice is one every woman needs in her healing arsenal.

If you’ve ever questioned your meds, your symptoms, or the silence surrounding both, this is your sign to start asking the deeper questions.

What happens when the woman who holds everyone else together finally breaks?

In this deeply resonant episode, I sit down with Jen Wernicke, holistic nurse, nervous system expert, and founder of The Calm Mom Comeback, to talk about what happens when the caregiving system breaks you. Jen shares her raw story of leaving conventional nursing to save her own mental health, reclaim her body, and create a new legacy for her family.

We explore the crushing weight of silent survival mode, the trauma patterns no one talks about in motherhood, and how healing the nervous system (not just “self-care”) is the key to becoming the calm, connected woman and mother you were always meant to be.

If you’ve been holding it all together while secretly falling apart, this episode is your lifeline.
