  • 37. Why I Left Social Media -- Reading as Rebellion
    2025/11/19

    The best marketing strategy? Telling the truth. Your truth is your success.

    I'm sharing why I left Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok — and what I’m doing instead: reading, creating, and focusing on meaningful work. I dive into the books that transformed my life, art, and healing, including: The Ultimate Coach, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, In the FLO, WomanCode, and The Artist’s Way.

    Our time and energy are the only things we truly own — and I’m reclaiming mine.

    👉 I am ridiculously excited to hear from you.

  • 36. Life Doesn't Stop When You Start - OhmBody Holistic Period Pain Relief
    2025/10/15

     If you've ever gone to the emergency room begging to be prescribed Loratab or Oxycodone, or if you've ever gone painkiller drug dealer shopping  just to not have pain on your period, this episode is for you.

    OhmBody's technology helps the body remember what safety feels like using gentle neurostimulation to calm the nervous system and reconnect you to your own rhythm. It's not about numbing pain. It is about retraining your body to trust itself again.

    In this conversation we're going deep into opioids, trauma, blood loss, and the nervous system. And what happens when we stop overriding our biology and we actually start listening to it.

    Amy Gaston drives strategic growth and brand visibility at OhmBody. Leading partnerships, advocacy, and public relations. While serving as the company's public face, a proven entrepreneur and former director of experiential marketing at Magnolia, she brings extensive experience in building businesses, revitalizing event strategies post COVID and developing marketing campaigns that elevate brand engagement across sectors outside of work. She fuels her competitive spirit on the tennis court, supports her community as a nonprofit board member, and explores the world with her husband.

    🖼️The art of this episode is a crossroads.

    Created with Musou Black Paint—one of the darkest substances on Earth—this work lives between ovulation and the luteal phase, and between Leo’s golden fire, Virgo’s refining eye, and Libra’s gentle balance.

    Born from a season of grief not for what happened, but for what never did, it’s a visual meditation on shadow, release, and rebirth.

    In this episode with OhmBody, we explore how the body becomes our greatest teacher—transmuting pain into presence, and darkness into creation.

  • 35. Skin Deep: Disrupting Toxic Beauty with Elle Black of SAME Skincare
    2025/09/17

    What if the beauty & skin products (even the anti-aging ones) you put on every day were actually the reason you feel tired, look older, or that your period sucks every month?

    Today we’re talking about just that – the hidden toxins in mainstream beauty, how clean products can be part of healing, and how your skin is a mirror for what’s happening hormonally.

    If you’ve ever questioned what “beauty” really means—or how your skin reflects your health—you won’t want to miss this conversation.

    Our guest is Elle Shelley Black, founder of SAME Skincare. After an emergency surgery and a devastating Stage 4 Endometriosis diagnosis upended her life, Elle began tracing the deep connections between hormones, daily self-care choices, and her skin.

    What started as a personal quest to balance her hormones soon became a rigorous practice of elimination, optimization, and attunement—adapting her skincare to match the changing needs of her cycle. This journey led to the creation of SAME Skincare: a brand designed to educate, empower, and give women a personalized protocol for aligning their skin with their cycle, mood, and life’s changes.

    🖼️Our skin is our body's art piece.

    Mimosas with Todd was inspired by my late mentor, Todd Murphy’s Dress Series, created through a channeled conversation with him.

    That dialogue shaped the piece you see here. A delicate white bodice suspended above a skirt of mimosa branches, made as a cyanotype with the sun, and threaded with shimmering gold leaf.

      This piece reminds us that our radiance isn't manufactured in a bottle. Quite the opposite. It's natural, it's cyclical, it's sacred and worth protecting.

      As you listen, let this piece be an invitation to reclaim beauty on our own terms.

  • 34. Spilling the Tea on Cycle-Syncing with Sync Botanicals
    2025/08/20

    Great minds are syncing alike today as we we uncover how to turn the hormonal chaos that many of us face into a superpower with Amy Thomas, founder of Sync Botanicals.

    Forget about the quick-fix pills; we’re chatting about the transformative power of herbs, mindfulness, and the importance of including men in this conversation about cyclical healing.

    Whether you've been writhing in pain on your bathroom floor or just curious about what cycle-syncing even means, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to help you reclaim your energy and health.

    So grab your tea, get comfy, and let’s get into it!

    🖼️The art of this episode is spilling the tea & water-breaking.

    When the Water Breaks (30x45 Original, resin on panel) explores the courage to reclaim your rhythm, the brilliance of ovulation, and the ways cyclical living brings us closer to ourselves and to one another (both women AND men).

    I was inspired to create this work after photographing the birth of my friend’s son (which you can see photos of here). What struck me most was when she told me,

    "I love you so much, I'm so glad you were there. Not just because of the photos though, I'm glad you were there because you made me feel like I could do it."

    If you’ve ever wondered how your hormones could be your greatest ally, this one’s for you.

    💊Do you take 20 Advil a day or ignore the crazy signs your body is giving you during your period because you think, "who cares? I’m not trying to get pregnant anyway."

  • 31. Fasting without Starving w/ Renee Fitton of ProLon & Fitton Nutrition

    What if, to slow aging, lose weight, and boost your overall energy you only needed to do this one health practice for a total of 15 days a year? And that is it.

    You may think I’m talking about fasting, but I’m talking about getting the same benefits of fasting without having to have ZERO food.

    If you’re a woman with a period, you don’t want to do this in the luteal or menstrual phase, but do it in the first half of your cycle to reap all the benefits.
