• 158 | SUBMISSION: Is Trauma Stored in the Hips? How to Release Stuck Emotions Through Felt Senses and Somatic Healing
    2025/11/03

    You’ve probably heard it before - “your trauma is stored in your hips.” But what does that really mean, and how do you actually release it?

    Thanks to this listener’s submission, let’s unpack the deeper science and energetics behind the concept of trauma being stored in the body. You’ll learn:

    • Why trauma can imprint in the hips - and other parts of the body too
    • How the body holds emotional and energetic imprints
    • The difference between top-down and bottom-up healing approaches
    • Gentle, embodied ways to support release
    • Why every nervous system - and every processing - is beautifully bio-individual

    You’ll also hear why this kind of work goes far beyond our cognitive awareness, and how attuning to your body is one of the most powerful ways to come home to yourself.

    I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

  • 157 | 9 Tips for Authentic Nervous System Regulation: How Being the Most Authentic, Regulated Version of You Dissolves Stress Naturally
    2025/10/27

    Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Your nervous system isn’t asking you to do more.. it’s asking you to be more you.

    Sometimes the missing link isn’t another routine or mindset shift.. it’s about learning how to close the loops - those energetic, emotional, and mental cycles that keep us in survival mode - and come back into regulation.

    In this episode, we explore what it means to embody authentic nervous system regulation.. where your healing isn’t about pushing harder, but about returning to your natural rhythm, safety, and truth within.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why authenticity and regulation go hand in hand
    • How survival identities (pleaser, perfectionist, overachiever) pull us out of alignment
    • 9 grounded tools for supporting your mind-body connection
    • The power of somatic awareness and working with a practitioner to help you come home to your body
    • How the Scorpio energy of death and rebirth mirrors your emotional alchemy process

    When you meet yourself honestly, that stress, overwhelm, and disconnection will begin to dissolve naturally.

    I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

  • 156 | Medicinal Mushrooms for Women’s Health: Nature’s Medicine for Hormones, Vitality & Gut Support Across Every Life Stage with Dr. Anna Sitkoff
    2025/10/20

    I could’ve talked to Dr. Anna Sitkoff for hours, and in this episode, I get to share her incredible wisdom on medicinal mushrooms for women’s health.

    Dr. Anna is a naturopathic doctor, medicinal mushroom researcher, and co-founder of Lucidum Medicinals. She blends science, nature, and intuition to help women support their hormones, immunity, gut health, and nervous system.. and she does it in a way that’s grounded, approachable, and practical.

    We dive into:

    • Dr. Anna’s personal journey into naturopathic medicine and medicinal mushrooms
    • How different mushrooms can support women at every life stage: puberty, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause
    • The science behind mushrooms’ synergy with the body’s systems: hormone regulation, gut health, nervous system support, and immunity
    • How to choose a quality mushroom supplement - and which species are especially supportive
    • Practical ways to integrate medicinal mushrooms into your daily life with both intention and ease

    I was completely nerding out during this conversation - Dr. Anna’s knowledge is next-level, and the insights she shares will leave you feeling inspired, informed, and possibly ready to experiment with medicinal mushrooms in your own wellness routine.

    I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,

  • 155 | Understanding Trauma as a Spectrum | Healing Through a Trauma-Informed Lens to Shift Trauma from a Disorder to Adaptation
    2025/10/13

    When you think of trauma, do you picture only big life events? Or have you ever considered how trauma influences your life, often in ways you may not even realize?

    Join me as we explore the nuances of trauma, from the big events that shape our experiences to the subtle, everyday occurrences that can leave lasting imprints. You'll learn how to reframe your understanding of trauma and recognize it as a natural part of being human, rather than a disorder or weakness.

    You’ll learn why trauma is not something “wrong” with you..rather an intelligent adaptation of your nervous system designed to keep you safe. I share how trauma is stored in the body [ not just the mind ], how survival patterns form, and why true healing requires working with both the mind and the body.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why trauma is part of the human condition
    • The difference between 'big T' and 'little t' trauma, and why both matter
    • How trauma adaptations shape our behaviors
    • The role of the nervous system in trauma responses
    • Practical steps to begin noticing and processing your own trauma responses.

  • 151 | 4 Ways to Anchor Yourself When Life Feels Heavy: Intentional Practices to Ground Yourself and Cultivate Inner Safety in Uncertain Times
    2025/09/15

    This episode is a reminder I needed… that it’s okay to feel both. You can be excited and still feel sad. You can be celebrating and grieving. You can be ready to move forward and still need space to process what’s behind you.

    Life has felt heavy lately.. the change of seasons, the back-to-school rush, and the swirl of world events. It’s easy to get swept up in the noise, to keep pushing forward, and to forget to pause, reconnect, and reflect on how this impacts our lives.

    This week, I’m inviting you to slow down with me. In this episode, we’re talking about 4 ways to anchor yourself when life feels heavy.. simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system, ground your energy, and create space for peace, even in the middle of uncertainty.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • How to bring safety to your body and shift from fight-or-flight to calm
    • Grounding practices to pull yourself into the present moment
    • Why it’s okay [and necessary] to take a break from social media + the news
    • Ways to actually feel, process, and release your emotions

    This is your reminder that you are more than your productivity, more than your schedule, and more than the weight of the world. Tune in and come back home to yourself.

    I pray this episode will grow and help you in some way. Sending my love and light,
