🎙️ Embracing Virtue and Resetting During Pregnancy: A Conversation with Megna Mystery — Episode 27 of The YAM Podcast

In this intimate and healing episode, I sit down with Megna Mystery — writer, mother, and community storyteller — to explore how pregnancy’s intense challenges can become portals to deeper self-reflection and transformation.

Megna bravely shares her personal journey through hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe and often isolating condition that challenged her sense of identity and well-being. She describes how this experience pushed her to embrace daily practices of self-forgiveness, spiritual reset, and aligning with virtues that nourish the soul.

We reflect on the power of using tools like the Virtues Project — a character education initiative that inspires the daily practice of moral excellence — to cultivate a sense of grounded purpose, especially during times of upheaval. Megna’s vivid image of “third-eye resets” becomes a metaphor for pausing, breathing, and stepping into each new moment with clarity and grace.

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 Megna’s journey with hyperemesis gravidarum and the lessons it revealed

🔹 The role of daily virtues-based reflections in navigating overwhelming seasons

🔹 How visualizing a “third-eye reset” can help shift energy and open new possibilities

🔹 The difference between resetting and forgetting: integrating reflection with self-compassion

🔹 Why virtue — moral excellence — is a foundation for healing and community-building

🔹 How to carry the message of virtues into homes, communities, and workplaces

💬 This episode is for anyone who has faced a season of profound challenge — whether in pregnancy, parenting, or simply in life — and seeks a gentle reminder that you can begin again, at any moment.

🎙️ Centered Identity in an Uncentered World

with Dr. Elena Mustakova — Episode 25 of The YAM Podcast

In this soul-stretching conversation, I sit down with Dr. Elena Mustakova — scholar, spiritual psychologist, and author — to explore what it means to stay centered in an increasingly fragmented world.

As systems crumble, ideologies clash, and anxiety grows — how do we hold onto a sense of deep purpose, identity, and inner stillness? Dr. Elena invites us into a deeper inquiry: What if this turbulence is not just chaos, but a call to conscious evolution?

Drawing on decades of integrative research in moral psychology, collective healing, and the evolution of consciousness, Dr. Elena offers a profound reframe of our inner lives. We talk about the power of spiritual coherence — that quiet alignment between what you believe and how you live. We explore the muscle of self-observation, the sacred pause between trigger and response, and how this awareness helps us reclaim our agency in the most disorienting times.

💬 This episode is less about fixing the outer world — and more about transforming the inner lens through which we meet it.

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 What it means to cultivate a centered identity in a turbulent world
🔹 How modern society fragments our sense of self — and how to reclaim wholeness
🔹 The importance of spiritual coherence as a foundation for personal and collective healing
🔹 Why awareness and witnessing consciousness are essential for resilience
🔹 How to parent, lead, and love from a place of clarity and spiritual presence
🔹 Why self-observation is the true muscle of transformation — and how to strengthen it

Dr. Elena’s wisdom is both scholarly and soul-deep. She bridges psychology, spirituality, and social healing in a way that grounds you — and calls you forward. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world, this episode offers a luminous path inward.

🎙️ Episode 24: Intuitive Eating & Emotional Healing — Navigating Food, Culture, and Motherhood with Raz Grammer

In this soulful and thought-provoking episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down with registered dietitian Raz Grammer to explore the nuanced intersections of food, identity, emotional health, and motherhood.

While Raz’s formal training centers around nutrition science (her thesis explored the effects of apples and plums on bone density), her real-life relationship with food is anything but clinical. It’s intuitive, cultural, tender — and deeply human. In this conversation, she invites us into the heart of her kitchen, her motherhood, and her healing.

We talk about the emotional layers that live in our relationship with food — especially as mothers. How grief and control can show up on our plates. How children have a deep wisdom when it comes to food, and how we as parents can create a supportive environment that honours both body and soul.

Raz also opens up about her personal evolution — from being the kind of person who needed a plan, to becoming someone who could lean into flow, trust, and deep listening. It’s a shift many of us are craving… and she models it with such grace.

💬 This episode is less about food rules, and more about food wisdom. Less about doing it “right,” and more about doing it real.

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 Why intuitive eating is more than just a method — it’s a mindset
🔹 How motherhood reshapes our relationship to control, nourishment, and rest
🔹 The invisible stories we carry around food, especially in different cultures
🔹 Science and intuition — and how they can coexist at the table
🔹 The grief that sometimes underlies our food patterns
🔹 Creating connection, permission, and healing through how we feed ourselves and our children

Raz brings curiosity, depth, and calm — plus a book list you’ll want to dive into immediately (scroll down for that!). Whether you’re navigating your own healing, raising intuitive eaters, or just craving a more grounded relationship with food — this episode offers a warm, thoughtful pause.

Why This Conversation Matters

So often, we’re handed either a strict diet or complete disconnection — especially in motherhood. But what if food could be intuitive? Healing? Emotional? Spiritual?

This episode is your reminder that nourishment is more than nutrients. It’s about how we feel. How we feed ourselves and our families with presence. How we release control, welcome grace, and honor what’s true for us in each season.

🎙️ Episode 23: A Second Birth, a Miscarriage & the Making of a Super Solid Mom Friend
with Carly El Kassaby

In this tender and honest episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down once again with Carly El Kassaby to explore the next chapter in her motherhood journey — one shaped by empowered birth, deep loss, and the quiet creation of a movement rooted in real, unfiltered connection.

Carly’s second birth took place in the U.S., in a hospital, supported by compassionate professionals — but the power didn’t come from the setting. It came from within. After a traumatic first experience (shared in Episode 22), Carly stepped into this birth with a quiet knowing: she was the one doing it. This time, she felt supported and sovereign. It was a birth story written in her own voice — and it became a powerful reclaiming of trust, strength, and self.

But life had more to unfold. What followed was a miscarriage — quiet, painful, and held mostly in silence. As she moved through grief while parenting two young children, Carly began to notice how few spaces truly existed for mothers to be raw, imperfect, and emotionally honest.

And so, she birthed something new: @supersolidmomfriend — a space where moms can show up as they are, be held in their mess, and find comfort in the company of others who get it.

This episode is not just about birth or loss — it’s about the in-between. The invisible transitions. The strength found in softness. And the reminder that motherhood doesn’t always ask for perfection — it asks for presence.

In This Episode, We Explore:
🔹 What it means to reclaim your power in birth, even in a hospital setting
🔹 How miscarriage reshapes motherhood and identity
🔹 The invisible grief that so many mothers carry silently
🔹 Why emotional honesty is the foundation of real mom friendships
🔹 The origin story of Super Solid Mom Friend
🔹 How connection becomes a form of healing

Carly brings her signature blend of humor, heart, and deep insight — offering listeners a moment to breathe, reflect, and remember that we’re allowed to do motherhood in our own way.

Why This Conversation Matters

There are so many parts of motherhood that don’t get named — especially the parts that happen after loss, after birth, or in the quiet hours when no one’s watching.

This conversation is a call back to presence — and a reminder that even in grief, even in uncertainty, you are still becoming. Still growing. Still held.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to keep it all together… this one’s for you.

In this powerful episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down with Carly El Kassaby to explore two birth stories that unfold on opposite ends of the spectrum — one filled with surrender to chaos, the other rooted in healing, choice, and quiet strength.

Carly’s first birth took place in Montenegro, where she was met with language barriers, cultural gaps, and unexpected interventions — including a missed IV, a surprise enema, and a nurse calmly repeating “No problem” as her body pushed through contractions and confusion. It was a birth she didn’t feel she “did right,” and one that left her with lingering self-doubt.

Her second birth in the U.S. was a reclamation. With the support of a compassionate midwife who told her, “You can do it. You will do it. And then you’ll decide,” Carly stepped into a new story — one of empowerment, autonomy, and trust. She gave birth on her own terms and emerged with a renewed sense of strength she didn’t know she still had.

This episode is about more than birth — it’s about what happens when a woman returns to her own knowing after a moment that took it away.

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 What it’s like to give birth abroad when language and expectations don’t align
🔹 The emotional aftermath of birth trauma and how it shows up in later pregnancies
🔹 The importance of midwifery care rooted in validation and agency
🔹 Why so many women silently carry the belief they didn’t “do birth right”
🔹 The quiet power of reclaiming your birth story — even years later
🔹 The sacred reminder that you can do it — and that you’re allowed to define what that means

Carly shares with a mix of humor, honesty, and deep insight — offering every listener a moment to reflect on the stories we hold about our own strength, and how we can soften them into something truer.

Why This Conversation Matters

So many women birth in silence. Not just the physical act — but the emotional landscape that follows.

This conversation is a reminder that birth doesn’t have to be perfect to be sacred. And even if your first experience left you feeling powerless, there is always a path to come home to yourself — through the body, through presence, through voice.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing from one, or simply holding space for others — this episode will meet you where you are.

In this eye-opening episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down once again with Chirag Davi, a storyteller and truth-seeker, to explore the deeper wisdom of Ekadashi fasting—a bi-monthly, moon-aligned spiritual practice that invites ongoing clarity, energy renewal, and deeper connection to the body.

While many of us approach fasting as a seasonal or religious ritual—like the Baha’i Fast or Ramadan—this episode explores what it means to live the fast, to carry the benefits beyond the 19 or 30 days, and to align ourselves with the moon’s natural rhythm.

Fasting is often misunderstood as extreme or unsustainable—but what if it was the most gentle, intelligent thing you could do for your body?

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 What happens inside the body after 8.1 hours of fasting (when the magic begins)
🔹 How the body shifts from glucose to fat-burning—and unlocks the “treasure box”
🔹 Why the 16–24 hour fasting window is key for deep healing and immune regeneration
🔹 How T-cells and B-cells are produced in starvation mode—and why this matters for long-term health and disease prevention
🔹 Why Ekadashi—fasting on the 11th day after each new and full moon—offers a sacred, accessible rhythm to fast all year
🔹 The deeper why of fasting: presence, clarity, devotion, and embodied awareness
🔹 What most people get wrong about the Baha’i Fast—and how to bring intention to your fast, no matter your faith
🔹 How to make fasting livable, especially for women and modern rhythms

Chirag brings deep reverence and grounded wisdom, sharing fasting insights that blend science, soul, and practicality. His gentle storytelling invites you to view fasting not as deprivation, but as a form of preventive maintenance—a sacred pause for your body and spirit.

Why This Conversation Matters

We often treat fasting like a challenge to conquer or a seasonal duty to check off. But this conversation shifts that mindset completely. Fasting, when aligned with the moon and practiced with intention, can become a healing rhythm—a way of living with more clarity, energy, and spiritual connection.

If you’ve ever felt curious about fasting but unsure how to approach it, or if you’ve done the Baha’i Fast or Ramadan but wished you could carry that clarity into the rest of the year—this episode is your guide.

🎙️ Thyroid, Stress & Motherhood: Healing Your Energy with Dr. Bradley Campbell

In this eye-opening episode of The YAM Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Bradley Campbell, a holistic physician and chiropractor, to break down everything you need to know about thyroid health—from nutrition and hormone balance to the deep connection between stress, adrenal fatigue, and motherhood.

Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most overlooked health issues today, and women—especially mothers—are often the first to experience its effects. Whether it’s fatigue, brain fog, weight struggles, or mood swings, many moms suffer from thyroid imbalances without even realizing it.

In this episode, Dr. Campbell explains how lifestyle, stress, and underlying health conditions impact the thyroid, and shares practical strategies to restore balance and reclaim energy.

In This Episode, We Explore:

🔹 The key nutrients for thyroid health (iodine, selenium, iron & more)
🔹 Why most doctors only test for TSH—and what markers you REALLY need
🔹 The stress-thyroid connection and how adrenal fatigue plays a role
🔹 How gluten, gut health, and inflammation affect thyroid function
🔹 Why postpartum moms are at the highest risk for thyroid dysfunction

Why This Conversation Matters

For too long, women—especially mothers—have been told that feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and burned out is just part of life. But what if your thyroid is the missing piece?

Many women go years without realizing they have a thyroid issue because symptoms like:
✅ Constant fatigue
✅ Brain fog & forgetfulness
✅ Weight struggles (gain or loss)
✅ Hair thinning & dry skin
✅ Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
…are dismissed as normal postpartum struggles, aging, or stress.

The reality? Your thyroid plays a critical role in your energy, hormones, and mental clarity—and when it’s out of balance, everything else feels harder.

This conversation will help you understand the warning signs, advocate for better testing, and take proactive steps to heal your thyroid naturally.
