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 113: Half the Sugar, All the Love with Jennifer Tyler Lee
In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Tyler Lee. Jennifer is an award-winning author, game creator, self-trained home cook, and healthy eating advocate.
Her first book, The 52 New Foods Challenge, was nominated for an IACP Cookbook Award, and her nutrition game, Crunch a Color®: The Healthy Eating Game, was named one of Dr. Toy’s “10 Best” Children’s Products and received the Parent-Tested Parent-Approved seal of approval.
In her newest book is called Half the Sugar, All the Love.
Jennifer and I connected on Instagram as we both help people with sugar addiction. But as you’ll hear in this episode, we have different approaches. I coach people through the 21-Day Sugar Detox where they learn how to stop eating sugar to change their palette (and mindset) so they no longer crave sweet things.
Jennifer shares delicious low-sugar recipes to show that reducing added sugar doesn’t mean completely giving up the foods you love. She shows you how to sweeten foods, both savory and sweet, naturally with fruits and vegetables instead of added sugar.
Jennifer’s easy, healthy recipes have also been spotlighted by Jessica Alba, Jamie Oliver, Michael Pollan, Oprah, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn Kids, Whole Foods, Parents Magazine, and US Weekly, among many others. She is a featured contributor at Red Tricycle and shares her recipes each week on her blog, www.52newfoods.com.
Episode 112: Answering Frequently Asked Questions about the 21-Day Sugar Detox
In this episode, I answer the most frequently and uniquely asked questions I’ve received as a 21-Day Sugar Detox coach, about the 21-Day Sugar Detox program. You’ll hear questions and answers about Yes/No foods and why, tips on how to navigate the program, and we even have some real talk about your mindset, and how and why it matters in how you approach this program.
Episode 111: Common Mistakes Made on the 21-Day Sugar Detox
As a 21-Day Sugar Detox coach, I’ve led dozens of people through the program. And over the years, I’ve seen the same mistakes made over and over again.
So in this episode, I’ve pulled together a collective list of the ten of the most common missteps made and how to avoid them.
Episode 107: Viewing Your Health From A New Perspective
Over the past 2+ years of the show, I’ve shared my health journey in a number of episodes, but recently I had an experience that shifted the context of how I view my health.
It’s had such a profound impact on me so, in this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes with an update of what’s going on in my health and how a slightly different approach in tracking is helping me to get to know my body in a whole new way with a fresh perspective.
Episode 106: Marrying Macros with Mindful Eating with Katie Garces
If you’ve ever tried macros eating and/or mindful, intuitive eating, then you know that these two approaches are on opposite ends of the spectrum. And to most of us, they don’t typically go together.
That is unless you’re Katie Garces.
Katie is a Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who focuses on a “real foods framework” to maximize health. Katie blends her professional background in traditional healthcare, wellness, and nutrition, with her passion for the healing power of spiritual wholeness to provide customized advice and life balance solutions for women.
She also believes that macros and mindful eating can be blended together and offers this service in her practice.
In this episode, we examine how she brings these two vastly different approaches together simply and sensibly. We discuss how slight tweaks to your macros can have profound effects and the role and impact that body wisdom, curiosity, and even nutrient density can play.
Episode 104: Intermittent Fasting, the Keto Diet and Athletic Training with Jamie Dant
Have you heard of Intermittent Fasting and wondered why it's supposedly good for you? Or how about why you often hear it associated with the Ketogenic Diet? Or have you heard how these things, and being a "fat-adapted" athlete can improve your athletic performance, but aren't quite sure how it works?
In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Dant, a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist & Board Certified Nutrition Specialist. For the past 13 years, Jamie has worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach & the owner and operator of her own gym.
Jamie specializes in helping female athletes nourish their minds and bodies without restrictive dieting or tons of cardio so they can achieve optimal health and performance.
You'll hear us discuss:
What is intermittent fasting, it's benefits & how to ease into it
The relationship between intermittent fasting, the Keto diet & Weight Loss
How nutrition impacts athletic training & performance
The role of mindset
And so much more.
