Each solo episode explores a pattern that many of us carry, as both a subconscious program installed early in life and a protective part through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Because these patterns live beneath conscious awareness, understanding them intellectually is never quite enough. That's why every episode ends with an integration practice, a gentle, guided experience designed to give your nervous system something new to work with. Not more information to carry, but an actual felt sense to shift the pattern. This is how neuroplasticity works, the brain's ability to form new neural pathways, not through insight alone, but through new experience, repeated over time.

In this episode, I explore what is really underneath imposter syndrome and why success does not always make it disappear. I share how subconscious beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong here” and “I don’t deserve this” can shape our experience, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand imposter syndrome as a protective part rather than something we need to fight.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why imposter syndrome can persist even when you are successful.
• How subconscious beliefs can shape confidence, belonging and self-worth.
• Why perfectionism and overpreparing can be protective strategies.
• How IFS helps us understand and support our protector parts.
• How subconscious work can help create deeper safety and self-trust.
• A guided practice to connect with the part of you that still feels the need to prove itself.

Imposter syndrome does not mean you do not belong. When we understand what this pattern is protecting, we can begin to soften the pressure, trust ourselves more deeply and create space for confidence, ease and self-worth.

Tune in to this episode for an empowering conversation about imposter syndrome, subconscious beliefs, IFS and learning to trust that you are already enough.

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Elizabeth Ziessler, hydration coach, holistic health practitioner and founder of the Electrolyzed Reduced Water Project.

After six years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force and years of struggling with brain fog, IBS, anxiety and exhaustion, Elizabeth discovered electrolyzed reduced water and began questioning everything she thought she knew about hydration. We talk about water as life force, the connection between hydration and our bioelectric health, her journey from feeling lost and disconnected to finding purpose, and what can happen when we become willing to listen to our bodies, trust what resonates and follow where we feel called.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why drinking more water may not be the same as becoming truly hydrated.
• How Elizabeth’s own health struggles led her to question what she had been taught about water.
• The connection between hydration, energy, bioelectric health and how we feel in our bodies.
• How feeling lost, leaving the military and navigating a spiritual awakening helped Elizabeth reconnect with God and her purpose.
• Why our past experiences, interests and even our hardest seasons can become part of the work we are here to do.
• What it looks like to stop searching outside ourselves for wholeness and begin listening to what our bodies already know.

Elizabeth’s story is a reminder that the path back to ourselves can begin in unexpected places, and that staying curious can lead us toward greater health, clarity and purpose.

Tune in for an empowering conversation about hydration, healing, spirituality and trusting where life is leading you.

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I explore what is really underneath people pleasing and why it is more than simply being kind or accommodating. I share how this pattern can become a protective strategy rooted in our nervous system, childhood experiences and subconscious beliefs about love, safety and belonging. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and subconscious work, I explain how we can begin to understand the part of us that says yes when we really mean no, and start creating healthier boundaries without guilt.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why people pleasing is a protective strategy, not a personality trait.
• How fear of disapproval can make saying no feel unsafe.
• Why boundaries alone do not always change the deeper pattern.
• How IFS helps us understand and support our protective parts.
• How subconscious beliefs can keep us stuck in overgiving.
• A guided practice to connect with your people-pleasing part.

People pleasing can look like kindness on the outside while creating resentment, exhaustion and disconnection on the inside. When we understand what this pattern is protecting, we can begin to create safety within ourselves, honour our needs and show up more fully in our relationships.

Tune in to this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found for an empowering conversation about people pleasing, boundaries, self-worth and learning to say no without guilt.

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Rachel Hinnen, an entrepreneur, acupuncturist and sex worker who has spent 12 years stripping while building an innovative premium beef business. Rachel shares how these seemingly separate worlds are connected through embodiment, agency, business and a deep respect for individuality. We talk about transforming retired dairy cows through regenerative farming, entering a male-populated industry as a first-generation farmer and the unexpected lessons the sex industry taught her about self-worth, boundaries, mentorship and human connection.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we do not have to fit into one identity.
• How Chinese medicine shapes Rachel’s approach to farming.
• Challenging tradition in a male-populated industry.
• What stripping taught Rachel about self-worth and business.
• Reclaiming agency through embodiment and sisterhood.
• Finding connection beyond labels and stigma.

Rachel’s story is a powerful reminder that the path back to ourselves does not have to look conventional, linear or easily understood by other people. When we stop shrinking to fit inside someone else’s expectations, we create space to honour every part of who we are, trust our ideas and build a life that feels fully our own.

Tune in to this episode for an honest, bold and empowering conversation about self-worth, entrepreneurship, embodiment and having the courage to create your own lane.

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I explore where the inner critic comes from, why it can feel so convincing and how we can begin working with it through Internal Family Systems, subconscious healing and compassionate self-awareness.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the inner critic is often a protective part rather than a personal flaw.
• How early experiences can shape subconscious beliefs such as “I’m not enough” or “I have to be perfect.”
• Why fighting, silencing or arguing with the inner critic can make it louder.
• How Internal Family Systems helps protective parts feel seen, understood and safe enough to soften.
• The role of neuroplasticity and subconscious work in creating new beliefs and patterns.
• A simple grounding practice to reconnect with your body, cultivate curiosity and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”

Your inner critic is not trying to destroy you. It is often an exhausted part of you that learned to protect deeper wounds in the only way it knew how. When we meet that part with presence instead of resistance, we create space for greater trust, compassion and lasting change.

Tune in to this episode to understand the voice beneath your self-criticism and begin building a more supportive relationship with yourself. Follow, subscribe and share the episode with someone who may need this reminder.

In this first official episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I sit down with Dr. Sienna Olson, founder of SLO Rx, a concierge metabolic optimization and peptide coaching practice for women, with Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Master's in Sports Medicine. She shares about her deeply personal journey through body image struggles, hormone disruption and healing. What began as a pursuit of fitness led to a powerful transformation from the inside out. We also unpack the growing world of peptides, what they are, how they work, and why a thoughtful, personalised approach matters.

In this episode, we explore:

• Dr. Sienna's journey from disordered eating to lasting healing.
• Why mindset is just as important as physical transformation.
• What peptides are, and how they differ from GLP-1 medications.
• How inflammation, sleep and stress impact overall health.
• Why a low and slow approach leads to better long-term results.
• The importance of working with trusted practitioners and making informed choices.

Healing isn't about chasing who we used to be. It's about reconnecting with ourselves and creating a future that feels strong, healthy and aligned. I hope this conversation gives you a fresh perspective on what's possible when we combine science with self-awareness.

Tune in to this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found and join us for an honest conversation about healing, resilience and finding a path that truly supports your health.
