What does it mean to care for our whole being?

In this personal episode of Whole Mom, I reflect on completing my trauma-conscious certification and the lessons it brought into my motherhood, healing, and everyday life.

We explore:

• Whole-being well-being
• Nervous system care
• Grace and self-compassion
• Healing in community
• Processing life as it is instead of how we think it should be
• Why “it’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it.”

This conversation is an invitation to loosen the weight of the world, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and remember that your whole being and well-being matters.

What if the wisdom we’re searching for is already within us?

In this episode of Whole Mom, we're joined by Stacy Crawford, a passionate Mom, Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, an International Coaching Federation (PCC-level) Coach, faculty member and mentor coach at the Awaken Coach Institute, Leader, and founder of Klear Water Coaching & Wellness, to explore what it looks like to trust our inner knowing and lead from within.

We discuss pivoting toward what lights us up, navigating life’s challenges, and the power of a mind-body approach to healing and growth. Stacy shares her journey through motherhood, leadership, and post-traumatic growth, and the moment that gave her permission to choose herself:

“You’ve given so much to us, Mom… now it’s your time.”

This conversation is an invitation to listen to our bodies, trust the signals we're receiving, and remember true self-care is essential.

✨ What is lighting YOU up right now?

We’ve done the breathwork. We’ve tried slowing down.
And still… we find ourselves overwhelmed, reacting, or checked out in the middle of motherhood.

In this episode, we go deeper into embodiment. (If you haven't already, here is an invitation to listen to episode 53 on exploring what is embodiment.)

We explore why disconnection isn’t failure, it’s protection.
How our nervous system supports us through overwhelm, and why “just being present” isn’t always accessible.

Through a trauma-informed lens, we gently shift from forcing awareness… to creating safety within. From fixing, to allowing.

This is about learning how to come back to ourselves in small, everyday moments, together.

We hear the word “embodiment” a LOT… but what does it actually look like in real life as a Mom?

In this episode, we’re slowing down and getting really honest about what embodiment really is (and isn’t), especially in the messy, middle of motherhood. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected from our bodies, how that shows up in our daily lives, and how coming back to ourselves a little bit at a time can shift the way we respond, care for ourselves, and move throughout our day.

n this episode of Whole Mom, we sit down with Elizabeth Munoz, founder of Soul Haven, and have a conversation that so many of us need.

We explore the stories we’ve carried… the ones that tell us we’re too much or somehow not enough — and how those beliefs quietly shape the way we show up in motherhood, relationships, and within ourselves.

Together, we reflect on what it looks like to move through burnout, overgiving, and disconnection… and gently find our way back to safety, self-trust, and truth.

This isn’t about fixing ourselves.
It’s about remembering who we are underneath it all.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How we get caught in the “too much / not enough” cycle
• Why we lose connection with ourselves — and how we return
• What safety in our body can feel like
• Reclaiming the radiance that’s always been within us

This episode is an invitation…
to soften, to reconnect, and to rise — together.

What if your healing journey isn’t about fixing yourself—but about coming home to your own inner wisdom?

In this episode, we are joined by Bree Montgomery, founder of Primal Glo, Mom, Wife, and Hairstylist, to explore what it really looks like to heal from the inside out. Bree shares her deeply personal journey of nervous system regulation and healing became the gateway to reconnecting with her inner wisdom.

We talk about how our nervous system shapes the way we experience reality—and how dysregulation can keep us stuck in survival mode, disconnected from our intuition, our bodies, and our spirituality.

Bree also shares how this journey inspired the creation of Primal Glo, a skincare line rooted in ancestral wisdom and simplicity. Using ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow and therapeutic essential oils, her mission is to support the body—not override it—and to bring self-care back to something pure, intuitive, and nourishing.

This conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t linear—and that sometimes, the path to healing leads you somewhere deeper than you expected: back to yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

• What nervous system regulation actually means (and why it matters)
• How your body influences your perception of reality
• The connection between healing and spirituality

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck—this episode will gently guide you back to the wisdom that’s always been within you.

She followed the next first step.

Join us as we sit down with Michaela Rai—photographer, creator of What We Saw Collaborative, mom and step-mom—as she shares her journey of leaving a religious community that was no longer aligned and an abusive marriage and found what it meant to rebuild safety and security from within.

Through small daily steps, she began to resource her own safety, find simplicity in everyday moments, and return to her sovereignty. Along the shores of Lake Superior, she reconnected with herself in a way that feels both gentle and powerful.

This episode is a loving reminder and invitation to trust our own inner wisdom to allow it to guide us back home to our truth and well-being.

There’s something powerful about remembering we don’t have to do this alone.

In this episode, I’m joined by Rachel Gilbertson—well-being coach, author, artist, and founder of Art of Presence. She supports others in accessing trust, deepening intuition, and reconnecting with their inner wisdom through coaching, Akashic Record readings, and intentional spaces for reflection and growth.

We talk about her Re-Treat Yourself monthly virtual retreats—spaces designed to slow down, tune in, and come back home to ourselves. I also share my personal experience inside these retreats and what it’s been like to explore the Akashic Records.

This conversation is a reminder that while we are each walking our own path… we’re also walking alongside each other.

Returning to ourselves.
Trusting what we feel.
And allowing support along the way.

Join me for a gentle conversation about what it really means to come home to ourselves.

For a lot of us, healing starts with the belief that we need to fix something inside of us. That were broken or there's something wrong with us. However, over time, we learn that healing isn’t about becoming better or someone new — it’s about returning to who we already are.

In this episode, we explore healing shame, releasing the weight of old stories, and learning how to feel safe in our bodies again. I share a piece of my own journey through trauma, therapy, and the practices that helped me reconnect with my body, my heart, and my sense of self.

We also talk about the nervous system, survival patterns like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how small moments of self-acceptance can begin to bring us back to center.

If you’ve ever felt broken, lost, disconnected, or like you’re carrying pain from the past, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you are.

We’re learning how to come home to ourselves, one moment, one breath, one day at a time.

Nervous system regulation has become a popular topic of conversation lately, and there are two common misconceptions that can leave many of us feeling like we’re doing it "wrong."

That we’re supposed to be calm all the time… and that once we regulate our nervous system, we’re complete, we're healed.

In this episode, we explore a gentler and honest understanding of regulation from my perspective.

Through everyday moments like running behind, forgetting something, plans changing, or feeling like there’s not enough time, we'll talk about what it actually looks like to come back to ourselves, our center when we feel activated.

This conversation isn’t about adding another tool to your jam packed to-do list. It’s about learning to connect with ourselves in these moments of overwhelm with more awareness and compassion.

This is an invitation, a grounded reflection for moms and women learning to trust their inner wisdom and return to themselves, again and again.
