Wellness conversations that cut through the noise.

Whether it's energy mapping, burnout, digestion, or Human Design — we talk about what's real, not what's trending.

318: You’re Not the Problem: Why Most Wellness Advice Doesn’t Work for Your Energy
This episode kicks off a series of foundational conversations — the kind that remind you: it’s not you.
It’s the systems you were handed. We’re unpacking what happens when you try to follow all the “right” wellness rules and still feel exhausted, bloated, or like something’s off — and why Human Design and functional nutrition offer a new way to listen, rebuild, and reclaim.
This is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself — and start working with your body, not against it.

Episode 115: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?
What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
As women, we spend so much time living in fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of being judged and of what others might think, fear of not having or being enough, fear of failure.
But what could happen if we release those fears? What’s possible for you, if you weren’t afraid? What would you do? How far would you let yourself dream?
In this episode I explore:
How living in fear holds us back and limits us from reaching our potential
What happens if we don’t release our fears
What’s possible if, instead of giving what we fear power over us, we let our drive to pursue our dreams outweigh it
And I even share a personal story and my best tips of how to work through fear and stop being afraid.
Episode 114: The Reality of Burnout (and What To Do About It)
If I were, to sum up, the last year, it would be “the year of burnout.” During that time, I’ve come to surmise that burnout is simply the misappropriation of energy and time.
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes and share with you what burnout looked like for me - the bad and ugly parts of it (hint: it’s probably not much different what it looks like for you), what steps I took to bring myself out of it and what lessons I took away from the experience.
Episode 110: What Will Be Your Catalyst for Change?
It’s the time of year where we want to be healthier, we want to be wealthier, we want to make all our dreams come true, and it feels like anything is possible! It’s also the time of year where feelings of inadequacies, lacking, and not being enough can surface.
I fully advocate you doing you - embracing who you are, fully and unapologetically. But I also believe there’s nothing wrong with aspiring for more - of yourself and for yourself.
So what will be your catalyst for change? What will be the thing that will keep you steadfast and focused on whatever “that thing” is that you want for yourself?
In this episode:
I talk about mindset, self-growth, personal development and share what tools have helped me do this work over the past decade.
I share a few things I’m going to focus on in 2020 (and what the proudest goal I’ve achieved for myself has been thus far)
And I ask a few thought-provoking questions to help you figure out what your catalyst of change is going to be.
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 107: Viewing Your Health From A New Perspective
