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 093: Establishing A Solid Foundation for Health
Would you run before you can walk? Just like you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet, you also can’t medicate or even supplement your way out of one either.
If you want to address the root causes of your health complaints and find a resolution for them, then the environment that your symptoms and illness manifested itself in needs to be addressed.
A sensible, flexible and bio-individual way to do this is through the Functional Nutrition framework. This is the framework that I’ve structured my health coaching services around and take all of my clients through.

What went well during their treatments and what they found lacking
And how they’re filling that gap for cancer patients by collaborating on a new program they’ve created that launches in just a few weeks called, “The Cancer Survivor’s Course.”
It takes a special kind of vulnerability to share such personal experiences and I’m grateful that these women are brave enough to do so.
