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 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 148: Adjusting Your Nutrition for Shifting Life Phases
As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.
Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calories that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.
Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.
In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.
You’ll hear me discuss:
My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health
The aha moment when my weight plateaued
How I’ve come full circle with macros

If you’ve ever experienced SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), are currently battling through it, suspect you might have it, or have heard about it and wanted to learn more about it, then you’ll want to listen up!
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes and sharing how I navigated through SIBO - twice! You’ll hear me share:
Why I suspected I might have SIBO
How I tried to manage it through my diet
What the testing process was like and how I prepared for it
The route I took to eradicate it
And lessons I learned from the entire experience
