I started this podcast in 2017 ā 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 ādo everything right.ā
As a Projector, I lead with pattern recognition. As a Human Design + functional nutrition practitioner, I give language to what your bodyās already been whispering.
This show is about unlearning the noise ā and rebuilding self-trust, one episode at a time.

Episode 110: What Will Be Your Catalyst for Change?
Itās 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! Itās 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 thereās 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 āthat thingā 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 Iām going to focus on in 2020 (and what the proudest goal Iāve achieved for myself has been thus far)

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.

Youāll hear me share how Iām using conventional and functional approaches to repair hormonal imbalances, and also, how Iām doing some inner work to address deeply rooted behaviors, tendencies, and mindsets thatās kept me in a fight + flight state, so I can bring myself back into balance in a more rested + digested state.

Episode 107: Viewing Your Health From A New Perspective

Episode 106: Marrying Macros with Mindful Eating with Katie Garces
If youāve 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 donāt typically go together.
That is unless youāre Katie Garces.

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.
