I started this podcast in 2017 — not to shout into the void, but to start the kinds of conversations I wished existed. The ones that name the real reasons women feel off, even when they “do everything right.”
As a Projector, I lead with pattern recognition. As a Human Design + functional nutrition practitioner, I give language to what your body’s already been whispering.
This show is about unlearning the noise — and rebuilding self-trust, one episode at a time.

Episode 164: Facial Reflexology & Holistic Skincare with Sonia Vargas
Our skin is the biggest organ in the body, a big indicator of what might be going on internally, and one of the first things people see when they meet us -- so it's important to take care of it.
Today I brought along Sonia Vargas, a licensed aesthetician and skincare healer, who specializes in holistic treatment and practices. Her drive to keep learning and her passion for helping others manifest themselves in her certifications, namely; Sculptural Lifting Technique & Buccal Facial Massage, Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Connective Tissue Massage, and Reiki.
She believes that skin treatments go beyond the surface and that it’s deeply rooted in the systems of the whole body. She believes that our bodies are capable of healing themselves naturally, leading to improvement in many skin-related conditions.
Episode Highlights:
The difference between Holistic aestheticians and traditional ones
What Reflexology is and what it can do for you
Sonia’s recommended daily skincare regimen
How other body systems can affect our skin
Episode 162: A Recap of my 7-Day Gut Reset
If you feel like there’s something that feels off within your body, don’t doubt yourself. Take inventory on what those changes are and what’s changed.
Recently, I felt like my gut could use some support. So, I decided to do the 7-Day Gut Reset, created by Mary Shenouda of Paleo Chef.
In this episode, I share my experience with this program. You’ll hear me share:
Why I felt that my gut needed some repair
What the program is and how it aligned with a healing protocol prescribed to me three years before that I never did
A day-by-day recap of the experience
The outcomes and my post-reset experience
Pairing this program with new exercises and meditation, got me in tune with my body again. I believe this is a program you should try - it doesn’t have to be just for when you’re feeling something wrong, but also if you feel like your body just needs a boost!
Episode 120: The Truth About IBS (and what to do about it!)
In this episode, I’m continuing the solo series of walking you through my own personal health journey, and my aim for doing this is to illustrate the things that seemed so common, but yet weren’t normal.
Today, we’re talking about a condition that approximately half of all digestive and intestinal complaints are attributed to - Irritable Bowel Syndrome aka “IBS.” It’s the most common of digestive complaints.
But IBS is an “umbrella” term meaning that it can be applied to a number of different things. So if you have IBS, there’s a likelihood that there’s an underlying issue going on.
I had pretty severe IBS that had a significant impact on how I lived my life on a daily basis. So in this episode, I share with you:
What IBS is and common causes of it
What my life was like, suffering from it
What things I did to to overcome it
