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 109: Using Qi Gong to Create A Sustainable Practice of Self-Care with Dr. Kate DeVarney

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kate DeVarney, a Neuroscientist, Holistic Wellness Coach, and Qigong teacher. You’ll hear Kate share:

In Kate’s words: “The incredible practice of Qigong, together with important lifestyle changes, and the support I received through creating a healing community, helped me transform my stress, pain, and trauma into a sense of peace, healing, and renewed energy. I discovered the strength and the life-changing tools I needed to finish treatment, thrive, and create a life I truly love.”

Now, Kate’s mission is to coach other women living with cancer in this powerful, comprehensive system of self-care, that teaches how to integrate simple, mind and body practices into a sustainable self-healing lifestyle.

Episode 042: How To Train For A Marathon After Overtraining with Jessica Hofheimer

While some may view success by the time they finished the race in, Jess’ mindset has shifted.

In this follow-up episode, you’ll hear her share:
