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 065: 10 Simple Ways to Slow Down for Type-A People
Are you a Type A person who's always-on-the-go, crossing off *our* (because I’m one of ‘em 🙋🏻♀️) to-do lists and attached to your phone, tablet, or laptop - or maybe even all three at once?
Then when you start to shows signs of stress, like breakouts, fatigue and other health issues and you’re asked, “How’s your stress levels?” you might not even realize that you're stressed...#amright? 👀
So we’re told that we have to slow down and take it easy, but neither comes naturally to us. In fact, it’s a learned behavior that we have to constantly and actively work on. 💆🏻♀️
In this episode, I'm sharing ten simple ways to slow down for Type-A people!
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 063: What's A Detox & Healthy Ways to Detox Safely
The word “detox” has gotten a bad rap because there’s been so much “noise” out there about how to detox, AND there’s different ways to do it.
In this week’s podcast episode, I break down:
What a detox really is
Why its essential in this modern world we live in
The three ways toxins enter your body
And I share ten practical and tactical tips for your detox!
Episode 062: How Your Liver Is the Workhorse Of Your Body
What do acne and breakouts, weight gain, allergies, arthritis, even and heart disease have in common?
Well, when you peel back and layers and tease out what’s actually going on, at the root of all these things is the health of your liver and how it’s functioning (or not functioning).
About four or five years ago, I learned that I had a fatty liver, and despite doing all the things, when I got a repeat MRI earlier this year, we learned there had been no improvement.
My doc and I have spent most of this year searching and tweaking things to find answers and when I got the organic acids and other industrial toxins lab work back, all the pieces started to come together.
Because at the root of this is how well my body is able to move toxins out of it and the liver is one of the main filters in the human body.
So in this episode, I share:
How I came to learn I have a fatty liver
What the liver does
Signs of liver congestion and how this happens
What to do to support the liver
Now, I know that liver is not the most exciting topic to talk about. I mean, *I’m* fascinated by it, but for most people, it’s not a general topic of conversation.
But, you know what is?
Weight loss, hormones, fatigue, gut health and yes, even how to get clear skin.
So the next time you these things are a problem for you, and you’re thinking about what to do about it, I want you to *think functionally* and uncover what the root causes of it are — and more often than not, how your liver is functioning will be part of that equation.
Episode 061: An Introduction to Cranial Sacral Therapy
When you look for the root causes for illnesses and diseases and even skin problems like acne, eczema or even psoriasis, you always want look at one’s diet, their gut health, what kinds of toxins they’re exposed to, and the root cause of all root causes stress!
We can avoid foods that cause inflammation, avoid using products with harmful ingredients, but when we need stress relief we typically head straight to the spa for a massage. #AmIright
But there’s other types of “body work” and in this episode, we’re going to learn about CranialSacral therapy.
Prior to this episode I didn’t know what cranial sacral therapy was so we’re going to learn about it together.
So joining me to teach us about it is, Mindy Totten, a CranialSacral therapist who’s been practicing for the past 15 years.
In this episode, you’ll hear Mindy share:
How she went from being an English and Humanities teacher to becoming a cranial sacral therapist
What is cranial sacral therapy and how its different from other types of body work.
Who it’s best for, how does it work, and even how to find a legit cranial sacral therapist and what to expect in your first appointment.

We’re now hearing, more than ever before, on how toxins in consumer products that we use every day, inside of our homes and on our bodies, contain harmful ingredients that’s damaging our health. They can cause confusion in our bodies, inflammation and wreak havoc on our hormones.

Episode 057: How to Support A Loved One with Cancer
There have been too many times when I’ve found out that someone that I cared about was diagnosed with cancer and I didn’t know what to say or what to do that would be appropriate and supportive.
I didn’t want to sound trite or generic. I didn’t want to overstep my boundaries, especially if it wasn’t a close family member. And I certainly didn’t want to be intrusive. But I genuinely wanted to do something, yet there were times when I ended up doing nothing.
In this episode, Katie Leadbetter, of Clean Eating with Katie, is back for her second of three episodes this month, this time, with some words of advice for anyone who has a loved one who is fighting cancer. Katie wrote a blog post titled, “Five Things You Can Do for Someone with Cancer” and in this episode, we discuss what those five things are and more!
