Curious what I think about the Oura ring, vaccines, my best parenting tips and my favorite low-tox skincare products? You’ve come to the right place because I’m answering YOUR questions today! 

This episode is also very special because we are wrapping up Season 2 for me to take a break this summer!

This is my first summer as a mom who isn’t working full-time, and it’s a surreal experience. I’ve always dreamed of being present with my kids during the summer, making memories and enjoying adventures together. I realized that taking a pause from the podcast aligns with my desire to be fully present in this season of my life.

I’ll be back in the fall with more episodes, fresh insights, and exciting updates about my life and the journey we’re all on together. Until then, stay connected with me on Instagram!

Now, let’s get into the heart of this episode: your questions! I received so many great inquiries, and I’m excited to share my thoughts!

What if the root cause of your skin issues was deeper than your hormones… What if the answer lies in your cells?  My guest is Jessica Kane Berman, who’s on a mission to help us connect the dots between the products we use every day and how we feel—mentally, physically, and energetically. 

Jess is the Chief Brand Officer and co-owner of BodyBio, a third-generation, family-owned company that’s been pioneering science-backed supplements for cellular health.  But her work goes way beyond capsules and bottles!

With a fierce commitment to transparency and wellness rooted in real science, Jess is breaking down complicated concepts around toxicity and cellular repair so that we, as consumers, can make informed choices without fear or overwhelm.

In this episode, Jess is revealing the hidden ways we’re exposed to toxins every day, how to reduce your toxic load without going broke or bonkers, and the surprising truth about cellular health and why it’s the foundation for your energy, hormones, focus, and even aging. 

Whether you’re deep in your wellness journey or just getting started, this episode will give you clear, practical tips you can act on today. Click play and let’s get started!

Is it burnout, or is it hormones? If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—the workouts, the greens, the morning routine—but still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or just not quite like yourself, you are not alone.

My guest today, Margaret Powell, is a functional diagnostic nutritionist who specializes in helping women 35 and up navigate one of the most confusing, frustrating, and under-discussed seasons of life: perimenopause.

Margaret has built a thriving practice helping women decode their symptoms, understand the hormonal shifts happening in their bodies, and create personalized, root-cause solutions that actually work. She doesn’t do band-aid fixes or generic advice; her approach is all about data, lab testing, and empowering women to feel in control of their health again.

In today’s conversation, Margaret is breaking down what’s really happening to our hormones after 35, the most common symptoms that get dismissed or misdiagnosed, and what you can actually do about it. So, if you’ve been feeling “off” lately but can’t quite explain it, or you’ve been told “it’s just part of getting older,” this episode is going to change the game. Click play and let’s dive in!

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’ve had two home births, and I’ve shared the behind-the-scenes details of both of them before. But today’s episode is going to be different. 

Instead of just telling my birth stories, I want to give you the tactical, real-life how-to of preparing for a home birth—everything from deciding if it’s right for you, to setting up your space, to making sure you have the right support team in place.

Because let’s be real… there is so much misinformation out there about home birth. Some people think it’s unsafe, others think it’s only for super crunchy, all-natural moms, and some just don’t even know it’s an option! 

But here’s the truth: With the right preparation, home birth can be a safe, empowering, and deeply transformative experience.

So whether you’re seriously considering it, just curious, or maybe even a little skeptical, I want this episode to be a resource for you. I’ll be sharing what worked for me, what I learned the hard way, and what I wish I had known before my first home birth. Let’s dive in!

Over the past few months, I’ve had some incredible interviews with amazing guests, but today, I want to take a moment to share some personal updates and insights that I think many of you might resonate with.

Specifically, I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind a lot lately: change. 

Have you ever felt like you’re not quite the same person you were just a few months ago? Maybe you’re sitting there wondering what you truly want for your life or what the future holds. Trust me, you’re not alone in feeling this way. I’ve been on quite a journey myself, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

So grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let’s dive into this conversation together. I promise it’ll be insightful, relatable, and hopefully, a little comforting as we explore the ups and downs of life, motherhood, and everything in between!

Have you ever considered that the way you breathe could be affecting your overall health? From sleep quality to jaw development, airway health plays a crucial role in our well-being… And yet, it’s often overlooked in traditional dentistry.

My guest today, Dr. Kalli Hale, is on a mission to change that. As an airway-centered dentist and the founder of Toothpillow, Dr. Hale is passionate about helping both children and adults identify and address airway issues that impact their sleep, breathing, and overall health.

She’s also a Clinical Advocate for VIVOS Therapeutics, where she works to educate and train other dental professionals on the importance of airway-focused care.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your breathing patterns or your child’s dental development could be affecting more than just their smile, this episode is for you. 

We’re diving into the signs of sleep-disordered breathing, why airway health is the missing piece in many health diagnoses, and how Dr. Hale’s innovative approach is changing lives!

As parents, we all want to do what’s best for our kids, especially when they’re sick. But so often, the default response is to grab Tylenol, antibiotics, or conventional over-the-counter meds—without really questioning what’s in them or how they impact long-term health. What if there was a better way?

My guest today, Kate Tietje, is on a mission to provide truly clean, natural, and effective alternatives to conventional medicine. Her and her husband Ben are the founders of Earthley, a company dedicated to making herbal remedies accessible to all—without the synthetic fillers, preservatives, and isolated compounds that dominate the wellness market. 

With over 16 years of experience in herbalism, they believe in harnessing the whole plant for healing, rather than isolating compounds like Western medicine does.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why so many kids seem to be sick all the time, how conventional medicine can sometimes create an endless cycle of illness, and the natural remedies that can support kids’ immune systems without harmful side effects. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to swap out Tylenol, support your child after antibiotics, or build a natural medicine cabinet that actually works, this episode is for you!

We all know that what we eat matters—but when it comes to the food we feed our kids, do we really know what’s in it? So many of today’s packaged foods are loaded with additives, artificial ingredients, and even chemicals designed to make kids addicted—all while contributing to rising rates of ADHD, mood disorders, and long-term health issues.

My guest today, Parker Brook, saw this problem firsthand while working in the big food industry. Instead of turning a blind eye, he left his corporate job to start Lovebird Foods, a company on a mission to clean up breakfast with real food and fight childhood cancer in the process. 

Lovebird isn’t just about making better cereal—it’s about proving that businesses can be both profitable and purposeful.

Today, we’re diving into what’s really hiding in our kids’ food, the ingredients parents need to watch out for, and how the food industry tricks us into thinking certain products are healthy when they’re not. We’ll also talk about how food impacts behavior, mood, and development, and what we can do to start making simple, real-food swaps that will set our kids up for long-term health. 

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by ingredient labels, confused by misleading marketing, or just frustrated with the state of food today, this episode is a MUST listen. Click play now!

We all know that brushing and flossing are important—but what if everything you thought you knew about dental care wasn’t actually the full truth?  Dr. Lauren Poole is on a mission to change the way we think about oral health at Sweet Truth Dental, a holistic dental practice in Brentwood that focuses on safe, non-toxic, whole-body dentistry. 

As a mom of three, Lauren is passionate about empowering families to make better choices for their kids’ oral health. Today, we’re talking about simple, practical ways to optimize your daily dental routine, whether you’re an adult looking to uplevel your habits or a parent wondering how to best care for your child’s teeth.  We’re covering fluoride, jaw development, when kids should start seeing a dentist, and the biggest myths about oral health!

I know I personally left the conversation feeling empowered and informed about how to take better care of my family's dental health, and I can’t wait for you to feel the same. Click play now and let’s dive in!

Have you ever wondered why boys and girls seem to develop so differently? Why they respond to discipline, encouragement, and even school environments in such unique ways? And in today’s world, where boys are struggling with identity, confidence, and resilience more than ever before, how can we ensure they grow into strong, capable men?

My guest today, Dr. Meg Meeker, has spent over 30 years working directly with kids and families as a pediatrician, helping parents understand these exact challenges. She’s a best-selling author, an international speaker, and the host of the popular podcast Parenting Great Kids. 

You might know her from her book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, which was turned into a major motion picture. Her work is centered on providing practical, research-backed strategies to help parents raise strong, confident kids—especially when it comes to understanding the differences between boys and girls.

In this conversation, we’re tackling the real issues boys are facing today, how cultural shifts have impacted their identity, and why boys and girls need different approaches when it comes to parenting. Dr. Meeker will break down the research on what boys need to thrive, how they learn differently from girls, and the crucial role fathers play in their development. 

If you’re raising a son, mentoring young men, or just curious about how we can better equip the next generation, this episode is for you!
