Unveiling the Beast

What up, Beasts. This episode of Unveiling the Beast was pure soul fuel. I sat down with the radiant Tylynn Mackenzie, a modern day medicine woman whose healing powers stretch across lifetimes, literally. From massage therapy and Reiki to past life regressions and astrology, Tylynn’s work is all about helping people peel back the layers of pain, trauma, and old patterns to uncover their truest selves. And y’all know that speaks to my whole brand. Those protective layers we build up over time? She’s helping people shed them with intention and grace. Her story of escaping an abusive relationship, discovering massage as a path to heal her own body, and then letting that path crack open all her other spiritual gifts? Goosebumps. Straight-up goosebumps.

We also got real about postpartum healing, how our society fails moms, and why self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s survival. Tylynn reminded us that healing is never one size fits all. It’s layered, it's messy, and it’s sacred. She beautifully explained how modalities like Reiki and astrology aren’t just “woo,” they're tools for self-discovery and empowerment. And listen, if you’ve ever felt like your soul’s been here before, her take on past lives and soul patterns might just blow your mind wide open. This episode was like a warm hug, a wake-up call, and a cosmic pep talk all in one. So if you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just curious about what your body’s trying to say, this is your sign to tune in and start unveiling your own beast.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts. This interview with Alicia hit me right in the soul, and I mean the deep, buried-under-layers-of-conditioning part of my soul. Alicia’s story is such a powerful reminder that the work we do on ourselves ripples outward, often in ways we don't even see at first. She shared how growing up in a fear-based, religious household led to years of carrying wounds that showed up in her relationships, business, and sense of self-worth. But it wasn’t until she dug into inner child work, reconnecting with little Alicia, that real transformation happened. Her healing journey wasn’t linear, and it didn’t come with a 10-step guide or a six-figure launch plan. It came with curiosity, surrender, and an openness to things like energy healing and breathwork, even when the logical mind didn’t fully get it yet.

What really stuck with me was how Alicia explained the connection between unhealed emotional wounds and the physical body. As someone who coaches people through their relationships with food and movement, I felt that deep. So many of us are trying to white-knuckle our way through workouts and kale salads, thinking that will fix everything, but we’re ignoring the little voice inside that's still holding onto fear, guilt, or shame. Alicia said it best: it’s like trying to swim with a bag of rocks tied to your waist. The goal isn’t just to look strong, it’s to feel strong and safe in our bodies, minds, and spirits. And when we stop tying our worth to external validation, whether it's a scale, a salary, or someone else’s approval, we finally get to live from a place of freedom and truth.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts. This episode is a heart-hitter in the best way. I sat down with the brilliant Gabby Mottershead, a cancer thriver, coach, and total powerhouse who shared her story of being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer at 44, and how it completely changed the way she shows up for her life. From leaving behind a high-powered (and high-stress) corporate finance career to rediscovering herself through healing, mindset shifts, and some real talk with her own inner critic, Gabby opened up about what it means to not just survive, but actually live after trauma. Spoiler alert: it’s not a quick “ring the bell and move on” kind of vibe. It’s layered, like onions and emotional lasagna.

We got into the messy magic of post-traumatic growth, how people-pleasing and mom guilt can sneak into every corner of life, and why so many of us have been sprinting on the hamster wheel of “not enoughness.” Gabby dropped gems about boundaries, self-kindness, and making empowering choices, like unfollowing toxic social media accounts or finally saying “no” without an apology. This convo will hit home if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things and still losing yourself in the process. So grab your favorite mug, get cozy, and let’s dive deep into healing, hustle detoxing, and becoming your own damn best friend.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts! In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Mitchell, a nurse practitioner turned health and wellness coach who is on a mission to help people prevent, treat, and even reverse the effects of heart disease. With years of experience in cardiology, Hannah saw firsthand how many people wished they had made lifestyle changes before ending up in the hospital. That realization led her to create Heart Health Coaches, where she now helps people take a proactive approach to their health instead of waiting until it’s too late. We dive into everything from heart-healthy nutrition to the underestimated power of daily movement, stress management, and even the role our environment plays in our overall wellness.

But this episode isn’t just about heart health—it’s about taking control of your life. Hannah shares her personal journey of shifting her mindset from small-town limitations to realizing she could create a life of purpose, success, and impact. We talk about why consistency beats perfection, how small changes add up, and why your circle of people matters more than you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of all-or-nothing thinking when it comes to your health, this conversation is your permission slip to embrace the messy middle and start making sustainable choices. Hit play and let’s get into it!

What up, Beasts! Get ready for a mind-blowing conversation with Atara Parkinson, a marriage and family therapist turned health coach who’s on a mission to bridge the gap between mental and physical health. She shares her personal story of burnout, binge drinking, and the wake-up call that led her to discover the power of minerals. We talk about the wild ways stress, diet culture, and postpartum struggles can throw our bodies completely out of whack, and how getting your minerals in check might just be the missing piece to feeling like yourself again. Plus, we go deep into why your body is basically begging you for nutrients, not punishment, and why bacon might just be the secret superfood we all need (yes, you read that right).

We also dive into the sneaky signs of mineral imbalances like sugar cravings, brain fog, and that fun little habit of mentally spiraling about your morning alarm screw-up. Atara breaks down the crucial four minerals (magnesium, sodium, calcium, and potassium), how they impact everything from stress levels to decision-making, and simple ways to start rebalancing your body without feeling like you need a PhD in nutrition. If you've ever felt like your cravings, moods, or exhaustion are running the show, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting your body and start fueling it the way it actually needs. Tune in, take notes, and maybe, just maybe, embrace the bacon.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Atara is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and has been practicing in the field of mental health for 14 years. She's continued her education by becoming a certified integrative practitioner.

Revitalization and rebalancing client's are core goals in Atara's work.

What up, Beasts! Today, I’m sitting down with an absolute powerhouse in the world of bodywork, someone who’s been at this game for over 30 years, way beyond the industry average. She’s an integrated bodywork therapist who has combined manual therapy, movement, and a bit of witchy intuition to develop her own proprietary method for healing musculoskeletal pain at its root. We talk about how she went from working in orthopedic clinics to training other practitioners, the unexpected twists (like an HGTV moment!) that led her back to bodywork, and why longevity in this field is so rare, but totally possible when you do it right.

We also dive into the mind-body connection and why blaming your muscles for your pain is basically like blaming your Wi-Fi when your laptop dies (you gotta look at the real issue). She shares how trauma, stress, and movement patterns all play a role in pain and healing, and why practitioners need to stop looking for a checklist and start truly seeing their clients. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, or if you're a movement professional who wants to help clients on a deeper level, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and get ready for some serious knowledge bombs!

What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show. In this episode of Unveiling the Beast, I sat down with the incredible Jennifer Patenaude, a sleep and wellness coach who’s not only transforming lives through better sleep but also navigating her second chapter as an entrepreneur. Jennifer shared how her journey into health coaching began just before the world turned upside down in 2020, and how she decided to focus on sleep after discovering its undeniable impact on everything from gut health to brain function. Her approach to sleep isn’t just about catching more Z’s—it’s about treating sleep as an investment in our health, relationships, and businesses. We dove deep into the realities of hustle culture and why "I'll sleep when I'm dead" is a mantra that might just speed up that timeline.

We also explored practical sleep tips, breaking them down into three key areas: environment, routine, and the stories we tell ourselves about sleep. I loved Jennifer’s take on how simple changes, like embracing natural light or creating a consistent sleep schedule, can make a massive difference. We even got into the power of affirmations and how rewiring our bedtime thoughts can transform our sleep quality. I threw in my own love for Disney’s Inside Out as a perfect visual for how our brains process memories while we sleep. Trust me—whether you’re struggling with sleep or just want to up your wellness game, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and real-life strategies to help you thrive.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Bio: Jen Patenaude is the founder of Jennifer Eve Wellness. With a passion for guiding entrepreneurs and busy executives to their best selves, she specializes in transforming sleep from a mere afterthought to the cornerstone of peak performance and wellness.

 As a sleep and wellness coach, Jen has seen firsthand the power of restorative sleep in unlocking one's full potential. Her mission is to help driven individuals harness that power.

Through personalized sleep strategies that slide seamlessly into a packed schedule, Jen will show you how reclaiming those precious hours of rest is not just possible, but essential.

Beyond the coach, she’s a mom, a wife, and your biggest cheerleader. When she’s not decoding the mysteries of the circadian rhythm, you can find Jen snuggled up with her dogs, cheering on her kids at their sports games, or losing herself in a good book.

What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show. In this episode, I had an enlightening conversation with inspiring dietician and holistic health coach, Leah Tarleton. She shared her transformative journey from working in telehealth nutrition with Nourish to founding her own venture, The Nourish Sensitive. Based in Maine and deeply attuned to her own sensitivity, she spoke about how her personal evolution and self-discovery have reshaped her approach to health. Our discussion explored how genuine, empathetic relationships—not just the traditional metrics of food and exercise—are key to true wellness, and how her unique work with highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals has allowed her to create a space where holistic healing can truly flourish.

What truly resonated with me was her bold departure from the standard “eat less, move more” mantra. Through her certification in mind-body eating and the adoption of intuitive eating practices, she revealed a paradigm shift that challenges the damaging effects of diet culture. She introduced me to a holistic framework built around nine nourishing elements spanning mind, body, and spirit—covering everything from emotional health and self-empowerment to holistic nutrition and digestive wellness. This conversation deepened my understanding of health and reaffirmed my commitment to an integrative, compassionate view of wellness—one that recognizes the complexity of our mind, body, and spirit far beyond just numbers and calories.

Bio: Leah Tarleton, MS, RDN is a registered dietitian, certified holistic health and mind- body eating coach, and the founder of The Nourished Sensitive—a wellness community and coaching practice dedicated to supporting sensitive individuals on their journeys to vibrant health and self- empowerment through blending principles of evidence-based nutrition, dynamic eating psychology, and holistic wellness with compassionate, person-centered coaching. 

Leah’s definition of health and wellness goes beyond diet and exercise to encompass emotional well-being, embodiment, ritual, spiritual exploration, and creative expression.

Through her signature 9 Elements of Nourishment framework, Leah helps sensitive humans put themselves first, harness their sensitivities as strengths, and find a creative expression that serves their community and the world, enabling them to lead a more authentic and purposeful life.

What up, Beasts! Welcome back to the show. Today, I sit down with the incredible Karen Sarmento, a nurse practitioner turned mindset mentor, who shares her powerful story of transformation. Karen takes us through the moment her life was turned upside down after an unexpected loss and how she found herself stuck in a cycle of grief, guilt, and self-destruction. But through deep self-reflection and support, she chose a different path—one of healing, growth, and empowerment. We dive into the all-too-familiar checklist of life, questioning whether we’re truly living for ourselves or just following what society says we should do. Karen reminds us that real change begins when we stop running on autopilot and start intentionally designing a life that actually aligns with who we are.

We also explore the heavy weight of shame and guilt—how they keep us isolated and small, and why releasing them is key to moving forward. Karen offers powerful insights on self-worth, the lifelong journey of healing, and the importance of listening to that inner voice nudging us toward something greater. Plus, we talk about the connection between mindset and health, how self-respect influences the way we care for our bodies, and why giving ourselves grace is just as important as striving for growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re playing small, doubting yourself, or stuck in a cycle of regret, this episode is for you. Listen in and remember: everything you need is already within you—you just have to listen.

Bio: Karen Sarmento is a dynamic Success Strategist for high-achieving women who are ready to redefine success on their own terms. She specializes in guiding accomplished women who have checked all the success boxes, but feel disconnected from their soul's true purpose. Karen helps them transform from feeling unfulfilled and small to living with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the host of the "We Are Meant for More" podcast, Karen empowers women to tune into their inner voice and silence the self-critic that holds them back. Through her unique framework, which integrates the power of the subconscious mind and manifestation techniques, she enables her clients to create a life that reflects their deepest desires and fullest potential.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs on your heart-strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What up, Beasts! On today’s episode of Unveiling the Beast, I’m joined by Sharon McCaskill, an intuitive eating-informed registered dietitian with a passion for helping people heal their relationships with food—especially those navigating medical dietary restrictions. Sharon shares her journey into the field, which was inspired by her husband’s battle with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes, as well as her own experience overcoming an eating disorder. We dive deep into the misconceptions about intuitive eating, including the misunderstood concept of unconditional permission to eat, and why truly honoring your body means both enjoyment and nourishment.

We also tackle the complicated history and flaws of BMI, why focusing on behaviors over weight leads to better health outcomes, and how diet culture has skewed our understanding of nutrition. Sharon emphasizes the power of small, sustainable habits and how intuitive eating allows for a stress-free, joy-filled approach to food. If you’ve ever felt like food rules have controlled your life or struggled to balance nutrition with freedom, this episode is packed with the insight and reassurance you need.

As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs on your heart-strings and/or I hope you laugh.

Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.
