Thank you for being part of this space - and for being with me for 100 episodes, it means a lot.

In today's episode, we're going through the ads we see on social media that claim to fix your life and give each a breakdown.. .

We’re talking through some of the buzziest wellness products making the rounds online—from mouth taping to NAD IV drips—and I’m giving my honest, no-BS take on what’s worth trying, what still needs more research, and what might just be excessive marketing.

We’re covering:

• Grounding sheets: what they are, how they’re supposed to work, and why some people swear by them
• Sea moss
• NAD+ supplements and IVs: why they’re being called “anti-aging in a bottle” and what I’d try first instead
• Mouth taping for sleep: the pros, the cons, and how to test it safely
• Non-alcoholic calming drops: what’s actually in them and how to DIY your own for way cheaper
• The importance of not approaching wellness from a place of lack
• A feelgood thing inspired by a kind stranger and a little oxytocin boost

Today's episode is for the days when you’re feeling stuck, or are feeling so overwhelmed that your brain can't make a single decision. . .

Maybe work is piling up, or maybe it’s just a boring laundry day that’s draining you. Either way, you’re not quite sure how to break out of it.

Today, I'm gonna break down a perspective shift that’s been helping me lately, a way to step out of the stress, the what-ifs, or the boredom, and see everything with fresh eyes. Because when you can shift your perspective—even just a little—it can make life feel just a little easier.

We’re covering:

• Perspective shift for your consideration
• The ripple effect of that perspective shift
• Why even the boring, mundane moments matter in the bigger picture
• How to use this tool in daily life—no matter what you’re dealing with

If you’ve ever found yourself caught up in the noise of your own thoughts, this one’s for you.

And if this shift clicks for you? Amazing. If not, that’s okay too. As always, take what you need and leave the rest.

We're doing a quick allergy q&a today! Because even though there's been some personal travel lately, I still wanted to say hello!

It’s a shorty but a goodie. Let’s get into it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why dry, itchy eyes get worse in allergy season—and 2 ways to support them from the inside out
✔️ The Vaseline-in-your-nose trick—is it helpful or hype?
✔️ My most underrated tip for allergy relief (hint: it’s not a supplement)
✔️ A natural option for eye drops that I keep in my own kit
✔️ Today’s feel-good thing
✔️ The one thing your body needs more of when pollen is in the air

See you soon!

If you've ever wanted to make a change but just couldn't . . . .today's episode is for you.

We're talking with Jaclyn Pritchard — a Registered Dietitian and Behaviour Change Expert at Cleveland Clinic Canada — to unpack behaviour change.

Whether it’s your nutrition, your workouts, or just feeling stuck in a loop of “starting over,” this episode dives into what’s really going on in your brain, why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how to work with your habits instead of constantly fighting them.

Jaclyn’s approach is compassionate, realistic, and full of strategies that actually work — even if you’ve tried and failed before.

We’re Covering:

• Why knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to do it
• What the “trans-theoretical model of change” is and how it can help you
• The surprising role your unconscious mind plays in daily decisions
• Why “falling off track” is actually part of the process
• How to rewire your brain with simple tools like habit tracking, repetition, and self-talk
• Nighttime snacking, environmental triggers, and what to do instead
• How to find (and keep sight of) your “why”
• Jaclyn’s feelgood thing

If you’ve ever felt like you were the problem, like change just doesn’t stick for you, or like self-compassion just isn’t in your DNA—this one will reframe the way you see it all.
