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 088: Overcoming Orthorexia with Kate Markovitz
In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Markovitz, a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, a 21-Day Sugar Detox Coach, creator of The Mindfull Makeover program, and an Executive Director with Beautycounter, as well as a holistic lifestyle & personal growth advocate for women who are over media dogma and want to be free and confident in their own skin.
One day a few months ago over on Instagram, she shared how she struggled and overcame Orthorexia (having an unhealthy obsession with being healthy, most commonly through diet and exercise).
I connected to it because in hindsight, Orthorexia was something that I lived through too. So, I invited Kate to join me for a real-people episode to have a deeper discussion on this topic.
You’ll hear us each share:
Our stories on what led us to develop Orthorexia
What life was like as we lived through it
What were the defining moments that pulled us on the other side
And what helped us most past it
Episode 082: Understanding and Decoding the Communication of Behaviors with MegAnne Ford
Joining me on this week’s brand new episode of The Live FAB Life Podcast is parenting coach, MegAnne Ford of Be Kind Coaching.
In her work as a life and parenting coach, much of what MegAnne teaches is how to understand and decode the communication of behaviors, which isn’t limited to parent-child relationships, but to all human relationships.
When taking a functional approach to health, the goal is to uncover the root cause(s) of a problem and in many situations, especially ones rooted in emotional stress, relationships and how we communicate with each other is often at the root of the problem.
In this episode, you'll hear us:
Introduce the Mistaken Goals Chart
Discuss four behaviors and what they *really* mean
Explore misconceptions and truths when it comes to decoding behaviors
Action steps you can take immediately to put this action

How we manage and deal with unavoidable stress really comes down to how well we take care for ourselves.
Joining me for her third episode on the show is Tami Hackbarth, the 100% Guilt-Free Self-Care Coach. It was exactly one year ago, back in Episode 018, where Tami made her debut on the show and introduced us to her definition of self-care which goes well beyond the massages, manis and pedis and spa treatments that we think of when we think of self-care.
In this episode, Tami is back to sharing her observations, findings, and takeaways after a year of working with professional women, women just like you and I, on their self-care.
You’ll hear us have a deep discussion on a number of things including:
How self-care is the foundation upon which every single aspect of our lives is built on
How we get in our own way with a scarcity mindset
How to set ourselves up for success to finally achieve goals that we’ve spent a lifetime wanting
