In this solo episode, I’m talking to my mamas. Mother’s Day was already on my mind, and then a random trip to the dog park turned into one of those weirdly perfect divine timing moments that makes you go, “Okay, I see what’s happening here.” New mom, tiny baby, French bulldog, lactation consultant from 13 years ago, the whole thing.

This episode is about motherhood, surrender, faith, emotional outsourcing and remembering that you do not have to hold every single piece of life together with your bare hands.

You are allowed to ask for help. You are allowed to set something down. You are allowed to let God, the universe, your people and your own wisdom meet you where you are.

Highlights:

(01:51) - Why this Mother’s Day episode took an unexpected turn

(03:10) - Meeting a brand-new mom at the dog park

(07:30) - Why community can absolutely save your ass

(09:28) - The prayer that helps you set down what is not yours to carry

(11:49) - What emotional outsourcing does to moms

(13:09) - How surrender creates space for the right support to show up

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with peptides, what they are, how I’ve used them, and why they’ve made such a big difference in the way I feel.

I talk about GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and CJC-1295, what they are meant to support, and what I’ve noticed in my own body through recovery, sleep, training, and healing.

This is not a medical deep dive, and it is definitely not advice from a doctor. It is a real conversation about what has helped me, what surprised me, and why I think peptides are worth understanding if you care about performance, recovery, and aging well.

Highlights:

(02:06) - What peptides actually are, and why they are not the same as GLP-1s

(04:35) - My experience with GHK-Cu for skin, hair, and recovery

(08:49) - Why BPC-157 impressed me so much for injury healing

(13:12) - How CJC-1295 supports growth hormone, sleep, and recovery

(14:56) - The changes I noticed in my body within the first couple of weeks

(21:54) - The back pain story that made me a believer in peptides

In this solo episode, I’m talking about the kind of prayer that feels powerful, honest, and a little terrifying. I share a deeply personal story about dating, gut instinct, and the moment I prayed for something to be removed from my life if it was not truly meant for me.

What followed was fast, sharp, and impossible to ignore.

This conversation is about faith, surrender, and the discomfort that can come with getting exactly what you asked for. I also talk about grieving the illusion of what you thought you wanted, trusting divine intervention, and finding peace in the belief that what is truly meant for you will not miss you.

Highlights:

(02:06) - The dating pattern shift that made my gut speak up

(03:03) - The "finality prayer" that changed everything in 36 hours

(05:13) - Why answered prayers can still hurt like hell

(05:55) - Grieving the illusion of what you thought was meant for you

(07:03) - If it is not for me, I do not want it

(07:48) - The prayer we say when we are ready to let go

In this episode, I’m joined by Keegan Downer for a fascinating, honest conversation about mushrooms, mental health, and what healing can look like when the usual paths are not enough.

We talk about trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and how Keegan’s own story led him from deep personal struggle into building Mindful Meds and helping other people explore new possibilities for support and growth.

We also get into psilocybin, microdosing, Lion’s Mane, natural supplements, and the science behind why mushrooms are getting so much attention right now.

This one is such a helpful 101 conversation if you have been curious but did not know where to start. It is personal, hopeful, and full of those moments that make you think maybe healing can look different than you thought.

Highlights:

(03:34) - Keegan shares the childhood wounds that shaped his early life

(08:26) - How microdosing first became part of his healing journey

(14:50) - The study that made him realize this could help other people too

(27:46) - Why the safety profile of mushrooms surprised me so much

(32:01) - What psilocybin is actually doing in the brain

(36:24) - Why this work can gently bring trauma to the surface to be processed

In this episode, I’m joined by Sam and Ash, founders of The Unfiltered Life Co for a real, funny, and deeply honest conversation about healing, identity, and what it actually means to feel your life instead of just performing it.

We talk about the heart behind our April 18 event, but this goes way beyond logistics. It is really about the stories we carry, the labels we pick up, and the survival patterns that can quietly run the show for years.

We also get into stories of origin, emotional literacy, people pleasing, self-soothing, and the cost of staying comfortable in patterns that are no longer serving you.

This one is full of laughter, truth, and those moments that make you stop and think, oh wow, that is me. It is a beautiful reminder that healing is not about becoming someone else, it is about getting honest enough to come back to yourself.

Highlights:

(08:24) - Why we have to understand our story before we can shift the patterns

(14:42) - The truth about being “fine,” and what is usually sitting underneath it

(22:26) - If you can't name it, you can't metabolize it

(29:03) - The cost of comfort, and the habits that quietly keep us stuck

(40:51) - Why this work is not about fixing yourself, but getting honest with yourself

(46:53) - The reminder, we are not leaving anyone in shambles, we are ending on a high

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my best friends, Sam Warner and Ashley Chaney, for a lively, honest conversation about the April 18 Sweat, Stillness and Feel event in Torrance, California.

What starts as a chat about the event quickly turns into something bigger, why midlife can feel so confusing, why so many women are stuck in survival mode, and why being in the right room with the right people can be deeply healing.

We talk about emotional safety, nervous system regulation, movement, music, journaling, and the power of being seen without having to perform. This one is warm, funny, and full of heart, with real reminders that healing does not have to be dramatic to be meaningful.

Sometimes it starts with simply being in a space where you can breathe, feel, and know you are not the only one carrying hard things.

Highlights:

(02:50) - What this event is really creating for women in midlife

(05:00) - Why female community can lower stress and open the door to healing

(07:50) - The truth, you cannot outrun yourself, even with a whole new postcode

(10:00) - Why this is not about transformation, but remembering what you can hold

(15:00) - What it means to feel everything instead of shutting down

(20:53) - What the day will actually look like, from movement to stillness to feeling

In this episode, I’m joined by Eva Hooft for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to heal at the root.

We talk about chronic health struggles, nervous system overload, gut issues, mineral balance, and why doing all the “right” wellness things can still leave you feeling terrible when the deeper picture is being missed.

We also get into parasites, trauma, emotional release, and Ava’s realignment method, which brings together physical healing with somatic and nervous system work.

This one is layered, honest, and full of those moments that make you stop and rethink what health, safety, and true healing actually look like.

Highlights:

(04:01) - Eva shares how modeling and chronic illness collided

(11:26) - Why “doing everything right” can still be a trap

(16:30) - When parasite cleanses help, and when they do not

(22:21) - Why so many people stay stuck in fight or flight

(32:35) - Eva explains her realignment method

(43:17) - What healthy means to her now

In this episode, I’m joined by David Gerber for one of those conversations that grabs you by the shoulders and wakes you up. We talk about lion tracking, heartbreak, leadership, courage, and the kind of aliveness that can only happen when you stop sleepwalking through your own life.

David shares how a devastating divorce became the turning point that led him into the wild, and eventually into deeper purpose.

We also get into what leaders can learn from fear, why so many people are winning at lives they secretly resent, and how the cage we think we are stuck in may have been open all along.

It is raw, moving, and full of those moments that make you want to live a little braver and a little truer.

Highlights:

(03:39) - How lion tracking first found David

(06:55) - The heartbreak that changed his path

(22:13) - What courage feels like in real time

(22:48) - Why so many people sleepwalk through life

(39:20) - The cage door may have been open all along

(50:42) - What freedom really feels like
