There’s a trend going around Instagram—“health advice I’d give you if I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings.”

So, naturally… I had to do an episode on it :)

This isn’t about shame or judgment—it’s real talk. The kind of honest advice I’d give my best friend who’s doing all the things and still not feeling great.

We’re breaking down the wellness myths, calling out the fluff, and getting back to what actually works in real life.

▪️ The “I’ll start Monday” mindset

▪️ Why supplements aren’t magic

▪️ Hormone disruptors in your skincare + candles

▪️ Cheap supplements vs. effective ones (and gummies, too)

▪️ What you really need to feel good

▪️ Mental clutter and comparison culture

You’re not broken, lazy, or doing it wrong — your subconscious is just running an outdated program… and today, we’re rewriting it.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be doing more — more present, more patient, more “perfect” — even when you’re already stretched thin… this episode is your exhale.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Emily King — Mindset + Hypnosis Coach, Money Mentor, and fellow mom — as we unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface of mom guilt. We’re diving deep into subconscious rewiring, inherited beliefs, and what it takes to finally feel like enough.

And if you’ve ever wondered why you still feel guilty even when you know better — Emily’s insights on the subconscious mind will completely shift how you see yourself, your worth, and your motherhood.

🧠 Listener Journal Prompt:

“What do I consciously believe… that my subconscious still resists?” (e.g., “I believe I’m enough — but I still feel like I have to prove it.”)

🎁 Bonus:

Stick around until the end for a calming, powerful hypnosis audio guided by Emily to help you begin rewiring those thoughts that say you’re not enough.

Is collagen just a wellness trend—or actually worth adding to your daily routine?

In this episode of Supplements Uncomplicated, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about (and googled!) supplements out there: collagen. You’ll learn what it is, how it works in your body, and whether it’s really helping your skin, joints, and hair—or just disappearing into your smoothie.

Hi friends! Today’s episode kicks off a brand-new mini-series called Supplements Uncomplicated — because let’s be honest, the supplement world can feel way too overwhelming. This series is designed to simplify it.

We’re starting with one of the most underrated but essential nutrients: magnesium. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one supplement… it might just be this one.

Inside this episode:

• What magnesium actually does in the body (hint: it supports over 300 processes!)
• The different forms (bisglycinate vs. citrate vs. threonate — decoded!)
• Why kids might benefit from magnesium too
• Magnesium-rich foods to add to your plate
• My top Canadian magnesium brands I trust and recommend at Natural Vibe

Whether you’re struggling with sleep, stress, hormones, energy, or digestion — magnesium could be the quiet powerhouse your body’s been craving.

✨ Reminder: This isn’t medical advice, but it is real talk — helping you feel more confident and less overwhelmed when it comes to making informed wellness choices.
