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.

THE LATEST EPISODES
Episode 160: Reconnecting with Yourself and Choosing What You Want Out of Your Day
I fully believe that what we feel physically has a direct connection to what’s going on with us mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
In this episode, I discuss how even though we're well into the new year, I'm still feeling the effects of 2020.
You’ll hear me share:
Feeling bothersome and overwhelmed
Overcommitting and struggling with energy management
What I did to reconnect with myself
Episode 152: Self-Discovery Through Human Design & Health
In my health journey over the years, I’ve come to learn that the human body is so much more than what manifests physically.
The body has a cohesive flow that when there is disruption, can cause so much more damage to us than we realize.
In this episode, I share how 2020 was a year of self-discovery for me, especially as I learned about and leaned into my Human Design. You’ll hear me discuss:
How the pandemic gave me the time to reframe and redefine self-care
How I came to learn about Human Design and the synchronicities it has with other self-healing modalities I’d been using
How it helps me grow in all aspects of my life
How I’m incorporating it into my health coaching work
Episode 151: Self-Gratitude Is A Form of Self-Care
With the Thanksgiving holiday right on the horizon, it’s a good time to take a moment to really reflect on everything that’s been happening in our lives.
Ultimately, we all wish to be better people, and we each have our own interpretation of what that looks like, and our own journey in how to get there.
In this episode, I share how community and meditation have profoundly shaped what that path has looked like for me this year, particularly in the exploration of how to practice non-judgment (spoiler alert: it’s super hard), finding courage in forgiveness, and acceptance, and healing through vulnerability.
You’ll hear me discuss:
Using meditation for self-healing
Exploring non-judgment, forgiveness, and acceptance (especially towards ourselves)
How self-gratitude is a form of self-care
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:
What Qi Gong is and the different kinds of Qi Gong practices
How she was introduced to Qi Gong during treatment for breast cancer and the difference its made in her healing
How her daily practice of Qi Gong helps her in managing the daily pressures in her full-time corporate job
And she even walks us through her step-by-step practice of it
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 108: On Quieting the Mind and Allowing Yourself A Chance to Breathe
Being a Type-A person, managing my to-do list, meeting schedule, and borderline OCDC behavior is par for the course. But at some point, all that daily tension takes its toll.
In this episode, I’m continuing my discussion from Episode 107 with an update on the current status of my health.
You’ll hear me share how I’m using conventional and functional approaches to repair hormonal imbalances, and also, how I’m doing some inner work to address deeply rooted behaviors, tendencies, and mindsets that’s kept me in a fight + flight state, so I can bring myself back into balance in a more rested + digested state.
I share the different tools and exercises that I’m incorporation into my daily routine to reset my behaviors, build new habits and how they help to balance hormones.
Episode 064: Is Stress Really Such A Big Deal?
We deal with stress on a daily basis. We hear about all the time on the news, read about it in magazines and hear it talked about online. And we’ve become immune to it, accepting it as a normal way of life. But most of us don’t truly realize the tremendous impact daily stressors have their health.
In this episode, I'm talking all about stress, including:
What're our sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous systems
How stress affects our hormones and leads to a plethora of health problems
Five ways to manage our daily stress
Episode 041: How to Start A Meditation Practice with Melinda Mrachek Staehling

Look no further! Joining me in another “real people” episode is Melinda Mrachek Staehling. Melinda is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in-training and has been practicing meditation consistently for the past 18 years.
