In this conversation, Travis and I continue to dig into what modern birth gets wrong.  We dive into how the culture at large has created a medical diagnosis and procedure out of a natural physiological process, how so many of the interventions used in the hospital are the exact cause of so many negative labor and delivery outomes, and how to educate yourself so that you can have an empowering experience.  

Travis is known as the doula.dude on Instagram! He and his wife had a freebirth and he now shares his insight and wisdom to other men and women on how we have been duped on birth, how to navigate your way through the medical model of what we know pregnancy and birth today and how to support women through pregnancy and birthing (whether at home or in a hospital).

What happens when an old wound, fear, grief, or pattern suddenly shows up again—and you find yourself thinking, Wait, I thought I already healed this?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leslie B. Newman, positive psychology expert, author, speaker, and longtime student of mindfulness and holistic well-being.

We talk about why personal growth isn't a straight line and explore Leslie's concept of The Spiral Path—the idea that returning to an old struggle doesn't necessarily mean we're moving backward. Sometimes we're meeting the same experience from a completely different place, with more awareness, wisdom, compassion, and choice.

We dive into self-trust, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, inner guidance, limiting beliefs, and the small shifts that can change the way we respond to life's challenges.

We also explore what it means to stop judging ourselves for where we "should" be and instead recognize the growth that has already taken place.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don't have to have everything figured out to be growing. Sometimes the path brings us back around so we can see just how far we've come.

What if the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide, suppress, or judge are actually inviting us into greater wholeness?

In this episode, we’re talking about the upcoming Sacred Shadow Festival, presented by Body Mind Soul Productions. Happening October 10, 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky, the festival is described as “An Exploration of Shadow and Light: A Journey into Wholeness.” 

We explore what it means to meet our shadow—the emotions, experiences, patterns, and pieces of ourselves we may have pushed away—and why embracing both our darkness and our light can be an important part of becoming more fully ourselves.

We also dive into what you can expect at the festival, including workshops, one-on-one healing sessions, mainstage experiences, and experiential vendors, all designed to create opportunities for exploration, connection, and self-discovery. 

This conversation is an invitation to get curious about the parts of yourself you may have been avoiding and consider a different question: What if your shadow isn't something to get rid of, but something to listen to?

What if healing requires us to look beyond our thoughts and address the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit?

In this episode, I sit down with Cristine Hull, PhD, an integrative mental health practitioner, author, and creator of the Love Solve Method. Cristine's background includes substance-abuse therapy, school psychology, clinical mental-health counseling, EMDR training, and a doctorate in Natural Medicine. Her work combines conventional psychological approaches with complementary and spiritual practices. 

We talk about why healing isn't always one-size-fits-all and explore the connection between our physical health, thought patterns, emotions, relationships, and spiritual lives.

Cristine also shares pieces of her own story—including walking away from a life that no longer felt authentic, stepping into the unknown, deepening her faith, and ultimately creating a very different life for herself. 

We dive into self-awareness, trauma, relationships, brain chemistry, emotional patterns, holistic mental health, faith, and what it can mean to come back into alignment with yourself.

This conversation is an invitation to get curious about your own healing: Are you treating individual symptoms, or are you paying attention to the whole you?

In this episode, I sit down with Travis Stroud, the Doula Dude, for a thought-provoking conversation about pregnancy, childbirth, and the questions many families are beginning to ask. We explore common beliefs surrounding pregnancy, the role of medical interventions during labor, how birth has evolved within modern healthcare, and why informed choice matters. Travis shares why he believes pregnancy is a normal physiological process rather than an illness, his passion for educating and supporting families, and his mission to help parents feel more confident, empowered, and informed as they navigate one of life's most transformative experiences.

This conversation encourages listeners to ask questions, explore the available evidence, understand their options, and become active participants in making the birth decisions that feel right for them and their families.

When Martha Carlin's husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at just 44 years old, she was told there was little that could be done beyond managing symptoms. Instead of accepting that answer, Martha embarked on a decades-long journey to uncover the hidden causes of chronic disease—a journey that would transform her life and contribute to the rapidly evolving field of microbiome science. 

In this thought-provoking conversation, Martha shares the deeply personal story behind her new book, Connected: Love, Loss, and the Unseen Forces Behind Chronic Disease, exploring how the trillions of microbes living within us may influence everything from digestion and immunity to brain health, inflammation, metabolism, and even neurological disease. 

Together, we discuss why chronic illness is often a systems problem rather than an isolated diagnosis, how environmental toxins, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle impact our internal ecosystem, and why asking better questions may be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our health. Martha also offers practical insights into supporting a healthier microbiome and explains why personalized approaches are essential—because there is no one-size-fits-all path to wellness. 

Whether you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for someone you love, or simply curious about the science behind gut health, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it truly means to be connected.

In this episode, you'll learn:

•  How love and loss led Martha into the world of microbiome research. 
•  Why the gut and brain are far more connected than most people realize. 
•  The surprising relationship between Parkinson's disease and gut health. 
•  How environmental toxins and modern lifestyles may influence chronic illness. 
•  Why missing beneficial microbes may affect long-term health. 
•  The role stress and emotional well-being play in physical health. 
•  Practical ways to support a healthier microbiome through everyday choices. 
•  Why curiosity, resilience, and questioning conventional wisdom can open the door to new possibilities in healing. 

A question to leave you with:

What if the answers to better health aren't about treating isolated symptoms—but about understanding how everything in your body is connected?

In this powerful conversation, I sits down with Betsy Pake to discuss self-trust, personal transformation, and what happens when women stop abandoning themselves in order to keep everyone else comfortable. Drawing from her work as a master coach and creator of the Navigate Method™, Betsy shares how our greatest challenges can become invitations to reconnect with who we truly are. 

Together, we explore the patterns that keep women stuck, the courage it takes to listen to your inner voice, and why true freedom begins when you stop looking outside yourself for permission. Betsy's blend of neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, and personal experience offers a refreshing perspective on healing, relationships, and creating a life that feels aligned and authentic. 

In This Episode, We Discuss:

•  Why so many women lose themselves while trying to keep the peace 
•  The importance of self-trust in making difficult life decisions 
•  Healing old patterns that keep us stuck 
•  Navigating relationship challenges from the inside out 
•  How fear and uncertainty can become catalysts for growth 
•  The connection between neuroscience, mindset, and transformation 
•  Learning to listen to your intuition and inner wisdom 
•  Creating a life that feels authentic, aligned, and fulfilling 

Key Takeaways:

✨ You cannot create a fulfilling life while abandoning yourself.

✨ Clarity comes from turning inward, not seeking more outside advice.

✨ Growth often begins when we're willing to tell ourselves the truth.

✨ The most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself.

The Truth About Seed Oils with Cherie Calbom, MS ("The Juice Lady")

Are seed oils really the heart-healthy staples we've been told they are? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with nutrition expert, bestselling author, and wellness pioneer Cherie Calbom to explore one of the most controversial topics in modern nutrition.

Known worldwide as "The Juice Lady," Cherie has spent decades helping people reclaim their health through whole-food nutrition and natural healing. In her newest book, The Truth About Seed Oils, she challenges conventional wisdom surrounding industrial seed oils and examines how these highly processed fats became a dominant part of the modern food supply. 

In our conversation, we discuss:

•  How seed oils became a staple in the American diet 
•  The history behind the "heart-healthy" messaging surrounding vegetable oils 
•  What happens during the industrial processing of seed oils 
•  The growing debate around inflammation, oxidation, and metabolic health 
•  Why omega-6 and omega-3 balance matters 
•  Hidden sources of seed oils in everyday foods 
•  How to become a more informed consumer when reading food labels 
•  Healthier fat alternatives for cooking and food preparation 
•  Cherie's personal healing journey and what inspired her life's work in nutrition 
•  Practical steps to create a more nutrient-dense, whole-food lifestyle 

Whether you're curious about the science, confused by conflicting nutrition advice, or simply looking for ways to optimize your health, this episode will challenge you to think differently about the oils and fats you consume every day.
