SHOCK & Y’ALL

In this episode, I’m joined by Nathan Crane for a raw conversation about addiction, trauma, spirituality, the subconscious mind and what real healing can look like.

Nathan shares his journey from homelessness, addiction, depression and a suicide attempt as a teenager to decades of studying meditation, nervous system regulation and human potential.

We talk about why the patterns we call self-sabotage may have started as protection, how childhood experiences can shape adult behavior, and why compassion can take us deeper than constantly trying to fix ourselves.

Nathan also takes me through a po...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jason Pencek for a seriously education-dense conversation about peptides, what they actually do, why they’ve exploded into the mainstream, and where legitimate science starts getting tangled up with wellness hype.

We get into GLP-1s, metabolism, inflammation, recovery, brain health, mitochondrial function and longevity.

We also talk about sourcing, safety and why injecting something you found online is very different from taking a supplement.

Jason shares what he’s seeing clinically, where the research is promising, and why understanding what you’re taking, and having s...

In this episode, I’m joined by Sean Kane, former middle school teacher and founder of Growth Mindset Parenting, to talk about what is actually happening inside the wonderfully chaotic world of adolescence.

We get into executive function, independence, emotional development and why some of the behaviors that drive parents completely insane are often developmentally normal.

We also talk about the balance between protecting our kids and letting them struggle, why discomfort can be useful, and how we can create structure without taking over.

Sean shares the skills he wants his own sons to...

In this episode, I’m joined by Perri Chase, teacher, mystic, guide and spiritual entrepreneur, for a conversation about feminine energy, embodiment and what it really means to live in full expression.

We talk about the identities women perform, the difference between softness and suppression, and why becoming more of yourself often requires letting old versions of you fall away.

We also get into shame, nervous system work, spirituality, relationships and the ways women can disconnect from their bodies in order to feel safe or successful.

Perri shares why true embodiment is not ab...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jenn Simmons, former breast surgeon, founder of Real Health MD and Perfection Imaging, author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, and host of the Keeping A Breast podcast.

Jenn spent years working inside conventional medicine before her own health crisis pushed her to question what she had been taught and look more closely at prevention, screening and the bigger picture of women’s health.

We talk about mammograms, breast imaging, hormones, functional medicine and why women deserve more information, context and choice when making decisi...

I’m joined by Meghan Judge for a raw, funny, and deeply moving conversation about grief, trauma, complex PTSD, friendship breakups, and what it takes to keep going when life has handed you far more than your fair share.

Meghan shares how repeated loss shaped her, why humour became a survival tool, and how finally understanding her mental health changed everything.

We also talk about toxic friendships, suicidal thoughts, therapy, EMDR, and the podcast that grew out of one of Meghan’s darkest seasons.

This is not a conversation about pretending everything is fine...

I’m joined by Laura Conley for an unfiltered conversation about women, anger, work, motherhood, relationships, and the impossible choices we are often handed.

We talk about the traps hiding inside both the trad wife ideal and the boss babe fantasy, and why trying to do everything can quietly turn into exhaustion and resentment.

We also explore what happens when women keep swallowing their frustration, why expressing anger can actually create connection, and how small acts of speaking up can rebuild trust in your own voice. This one is chaotic, honest, funny, and probably a li...

I’m joined by sound healer, teacher, mentor, and entrepreneur Susy Markoe Schieffelin for a deeply honest conversation about recovery, identity, motherhood, and the healing power of sound.

Susy shares how losing her hair, struggling with addiction, and feeling disconnected from herself ultimately led her toward sobriety, self-acceptance, and a completely new life.

We also talk about the science behind sound baths, how sound can help regulate the nervous system, and why letting go is often the thing that finally sets us free.

Susy’s story is a powerful reminder that healing does not...

In this episode, I’m sharing what a ten-day adventure through Iceland taught me about fitness, consistency, and trusting my body.

I only completed one traditional workout, yet I climbed glaciers, explored lava tunnels, rode an ATV through sideways rain, and handled every adventure without feeling weak or unprepared.

This is your reminder that a workout does not always need to look like a workout. The habits you build over time show up when real life asks something of you.

And yes, they might even help when you spectacularly wipe out on wet ce...

Dr. Catharine Arnston PhD, MBA joins me to share how her sister’s cancer diagnosis led her from a corporate career into more than 15 years of algae nutrition research.

We talk about spirulina, chlorella, plant-based nutrition, cellular energy, and why she believes these tiny tablets deserve far more attention.

Catharine also explains the differences between the two types of algae, how she built EnergyBits, and what it took to step into a role she never expected to have.

This is a lively conversation about curiosity, entrepreneurship, nutrition, and following a calling that refuses to...

Someone is teaching our boys what it means to be a man, and if parents are not paying attention, it may be the internet.

I’m joined by Alex Greaner, author of Who’s Raising Your Son?, for an honest conversation about the algorithms, influencers, and cultural messages shaping young men today.

We talk about Alex’s troubled teenage years, the question that changed his life, and why masculinity must be about more than providing and achieving.

We also explore character, purpose, emotional availability, social media limits, peer influence, and how parents can stay c...

This episode is a very real life update about the day I ended up in the emergency room with atrial fibrillation. I thought I was simply tired, busy, and pushing through another packed weekend. Instead, my body was telling me something was seriously off.

I’m sharing exactly what AFib felt like, the combination of factors that may have triggered it, and why midlife requires a new level of awareness. This is not about becoming afraid of your body.

It’s about knowing it well enough to notice when something changes, trust yourself, and get help...

In this episode, I’m talking with Mike Hammond, founder of Signal Relief, about a pain relief patch that honestly sounds almost too simple to be real, until you hear the stories behind it.

Mike shares how technology originally connected to defence industry communications became a wearable tool designed to help the body deal with pain signals differently.

We talk chronic pain, inflammation, veterans, menstrual discomfort, fibromyalgia, entrepreneurship, and why non-invasive options matter so much when people are hurting.

I definitely get emotional in this one, because pain changes everything. And the possibility of...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dawn Jackson “DJ” Blatner, a registered dietitian and energy expert who somehow makes nutrition feel less like homework and more like your funniest, smartest friend giving you permission to enjoy your life.

We talk about food fear, protein, metabolism, perimenopause, joy, and why your health plan should not make you feel like a full-time wellness hostage.

DJ shares her want, balance, own approach, her Core Four for feeling good, and one of the best food stories I’ve ever heard: the cupcake effect. It is funny, honest, deeply human, a...

Hey y’all.

Today I’m talking with Katy Rexing, a meditation teacher, podcast host, chef, mother of four, yogi, and lifelong student of what it actually means to feel well.

Katy shares how she went from holding everything together on the outside while feeling like a total hot mess on the inside, to building a daily meditation practice that helped her come back to herself.

We talk about people pleasing, self-abandonment, motherhood, grief, rituals, signs, spirituality, and why meditation is not about becoming some perfectly calm person in white linen on a cush...

In this episode, I’m joined by Jen Hamilton, Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer, producer, studio owner, mother of two and one of the most grounded powerhouses I know.

We go way back, so yes, there are stories from the early dance days, but this conversation is really about what it takes to build a creative career that lasts.

We talk about dance, Hollywood sets, mentorship, motherhood, midlife, imposter syndrome, resilience and the way the entertainment industry can both make you and test every part of you.

Jen shares what she has learned from decades of...

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sasha Hakman, double board-certified OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist.

She is brilliant, deeply human, and somehow manages to explain fertility, IVF, hormones and reproductive medicine in a way that feels empowering instead of wildly overwhelming, which is honestly a gift.

We talk about IVF, infertility, egg freezing, genetic testing, needle-free IVF, paternal age, cycle tracking, stress, hormones and the very real gap between what women are taught about their bodies and what we actually need to know.

Dr. Hakman also shares her own fertility jo...

In this episode, I’m joined by Peter McLaughlin, certified hypnotherapist, life coach and founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis.

Peter has helped thousands of people work with the subconscious patterns quietly running the show, but what makes his work hit differently is that he has lived some serious chapters himself, including leukemia, Lyme disease and 15 years as a firefighter and EMT.

We talk about hypnotherapy, past life regression, spirit guides, self-sabotage, grief, near-death experiences, soul contracts and what it really means to heal the story underneath the story.

This one goes deep in th...

In this solo episode, I’m talking to my mamas. Mother’s Day was already on my mind, and then a random trip to the dog park turned into one of those weirdly perfect divine timing moments that makes you go, “Okay, I see what’s happening here.” New mom, tiny baby, French bulldog, lactation consultant from 13 years ago, the whole thing.

This episode is about motherhood, surrender, faith, emotional outsourcing and remembering that you do not have to hold every single piece of life together with your bare hands.

You are allowed to ask for help...

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with peptides, what they are, how I’ve used them, and why they’ve made such a big difference in the way I feel.

I talk about GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and CJC-1295, what they are meant to support, and what I’ve noticed in my own body through recovery, sleep, training, and healing.

This is not a medical deep dive, and it is definitely not advice from a doctor. It is a real conversation about what has helped me, what surprised me, and why I think peptides...

In this solo episode, I’m talking about the kind of prayer that feels powerful, honest, and a little terrifying. I share a deeply personal story about dating, gut instinct, and the moment I prayed for something to be removed from my life if it was not truly meant for me.

What followed was fast, sharp, and impossible to ignore.

This conversation is about faith, surrender, and the discomfort that can come with getting exactly what you asked for. I also talk about grieving the illusion of what you thought you wanted, trusting divine intervention, an...

In this episode, I’m joined by Keegan Downer for a fascinating, honest conversation about mushrooms, mental health, and what healing can look like when the usual paths are not enough.

We talk about trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and how Keegan’s own story led him from deep personal struggle into building Mindful Meds and helping other people explore new possibilities for support and growth.

We also get into psilocybin, microdosing, Lion’s Mane, natural supplements, and the science behind why mushrooms are getting so much attention right now.

This one is such a help...

In this episode, I’m joined by Sam and Ash, founders of The Unfiltered Life Co for a real, funny, and deeply honest conversation about healing, identity, and what it actually means to feel your life instead of just performing it.

We talk about the heart behind our April 18 event, but this goes way beyond logistics. It is really about the stories we carry, the labels we pick up, and the survival patterns that can quietly run the show for years.

We also get into stories of origin, emotional literacy, people pleasing, self-soothing, and the co...

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my best friends, Sam Warner and Ashley Chaney, for a lively, honest conversation about the April 18 Sweat, Stillness and Feel event in Torrance, California.

What starts as a chat about the event quickly turns into something bigger, why midlife can feel so confusing, why so many women are stuck in survival mode, and why being in the right room with the right people can be deeply healing.

We talk about emotional safety, nervous system regulation, movement, music, journaling, and the power of being seen without having to...

In this episode, I’m joined by Eva Hooft for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to heal at the root.

We talk about chronic health struggles, nervous system overload, gut issues, mineral balance, and why doing all the “right” wellness things can still leave you feeling terrible when the deeper picture is being missed.

We also get into parasites, trauma, emotional release, and Ava’s realignment method, which brings together physical healing with somatic and nervous system work.

This one is layered, honest, and full of those moments that make you stop...

In this episode, I’m joined by David Gerber for one of those conversations that grabs you by the shoulders and wakes you up. We talk about lion tracking, heartbreak, leadership, courage, and the kind of aliveness that can only happen when you stop sleepwalking through your own life.

David shares how a devastating divorce became the turning point that led him into the wild, and eventually into deeper purpose.

We also get into what leaders can learn from fear, why so many people are winning at lives they secretly resent, and how the cage we...

Oh hey y'all.

In this episode, myself and Laura Conley are talking about something that sounds simple, but can seriously change how we live, work, and show up, scheduling rest and fun like they actually matter. Because they do.

We get honest about hustle culture, guilt, productivity, and why so many of us treat joy like it has to be earned first.

We also get into presence, parenting, and what happens when I stop acting like rest is a reward and start treating it like a requirement.

There’s laughter, a fe...

This surprise solo episode came straight from the heart. After a conversation in my monthly group about how hard it can feel to justify spending money on yourself, especially as a woman, especially as a caretaker, I had to press record.

We’re talking about chronic stress, identity expansion, and why a retreat is not indulgent, it’s medicine. I share the science behind rest, neuroplasticity, and how changing your environment can literally change your brain.

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, shrinking your joy, and putting yourself last, consider this your permission slip...

Oh hey y’all.

This conversation with Michelle Doan stopped me in my tracks.

After fleeing Vietnam with her family in 1979, Michelle grew up as an immigrant in Canada and later California, struggling with cystic acne and the insecurities that came with it.

What began as a personal battle to heal her own skin transformed into a lifelong mission to help others feel confident in theirs.

From escaping Vietnam by boat as a child to building Imani Cosmetics into a global clean beauty brand, Michelle’s story is one of grit, resi...

Oh hey y’all.

This conversation with Jason Shurka stretched me in the best way. We talk about his near death experiences, surviving serious injuries, and how that journey led him into The Light System Technology and the creation of UNIFYD Healing centers around the world.

If you’ve ever felt curious about the intersection of science and spirituality, this one is going to light you up.

We break down The Light System Technology in practical terms, how color, frequency, and environment influence the body, why animals respond to this work without placebo, and...

Hey y’all. This episode is equal parts science, honesty, and real talk.

I’m joined by Michelle Kilduff, a peptide performance coach who cuts through the hype and explains what actually makes peptides work in real life.

We talk about GLP-1s, recovery peptides, longevity, and why so many people are disappointed when they expect injections to do all the heavy lifting.

Michelle shares why behavior, fueling, strength training, and consistency matter more than any protocol, plus what she sees go wrong when people chase quick fixes without support.

If you’...

Oh hey y’all.

I have wanted to have this conversation for a long time, and Dr. Scott Sherr absolutely delivered.

We get into what mitochondria actually do, why almost all of us are dealing with some level of dysfunction, and how energy production sits at the center of mental clarity, recovery, stress resilience, and overall health.

This is one of those episodes that completely shifts how you think about your body.

We also talk about methylene blue, why the internet both loves and fears it, and how to think about ne...

Oh hey y’all.

This episode is one of those conversations where you feel seen, called out and deeply reassured all at once.

I’m joined by Dr Sienna Olson, and honestly, this one goes everywhere it needs to go. We talk about strength training as identity, nervous system regulation for high performing women, and why so many of us are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted and disconnected from our bodies.

We also get into disordered eating, burnout, hormones, spirituality without bypassing the body, and what it actually looks like to lead you...

I’m joined by evidential medium Barbra Banner, and this conversation is equal parts comforting, hilarious, and honestly kind of mind-blowing.

Barbra shares how her mediumship kicked off with lights, orbs, and objects doing the absolute most, then turned into a calling she couldn’t ignore.

We talk grief, why humor can be a real bridge to healing, and what it looks like when “signs” stop being subtle. Plus, Barbra leads a simple little exercise you can try in real time, and yes, I’m already waiting on my rosebud.

Highlights:

(04:39) - The mome...

Hey y’all.

Okay, I’m just going to say it, my palms were sweating before we even started recording, because we’re talking money. Not the cute “budget tips” version, the real stuff: shame, comparison, resentment, and the sneaky little stories we tell ourselves when we feel behind.

I’m joined by Jade Warshaw from the Ramsey team, and she’s the friend who will tell you the truth, then help you take the next step without spiraling.

We get into why money hits so deep, how to stop turning mistakes into your identity...

Hey y’all.

Today I’m sitting down with Megan Lanford, founder of Points to Paradise, and I’m not being dramatic when I say this conversation messed with my brain in the best way.

If you’ve ever assumed luxury travel equals debt, trust funds, or “I’m just not that kind of person,” Megan is about to flip that story.

We talk beginner cards, how to keep it simple (no spreadsheet nightmare), and how to turn groceries and gas into real trips. Also, the moment she shares what points can actually buy, I basical...

This solo cast was such a joy to record, because I am ending 2025 with a fire in my chest about what actually shapes our lives.

I dive into the truth that your habits are profiling you every single day and that discipline is really about having an identity so clear you stop negotiating with your feelings. I talk about timelines, personal responsibility, the habits I have made non negotiable and the real shifts that happened when I stopped treating my future self like a stranger.

I break down the practices that have changed my body...

Hey y’all.

This solo episode came straight from my heart and a little bit from my nerves, because every time I hit record alone, I wonder if I actually know what I am doing. But as we approach the end of 2025, one theme keeps shouting at me from every angle. We are living through an apocalypse of average, and it is time to wake up.

I talk about the ways complacency sneaks into our lives, how autopilot becomes our default and why it is a tragedy to treat yourself like someone ordinary when you ar...

Hey ya’ll.

This episode felt like sitting down with a friend who tells the truth and somehow says exactly what you needed to hear. 

Lynn Mull shares her path from Wall Street executive to holistic midlife coach.

We talk about burnout, intuition, internal family systems, and redefining abundance in a way that actually feels good. 

It is honest, funny, a little cosmic, and perfect if you are in a who am I now season.

Highlights: 

(03:18) When the pace of Wall Street stopped feeling sustainable

(09:02) The m...

Y’all, this one lit me up. 

Talking with Chris felt like having someone finally hand me the manual for relationships that we all swear should exist, but no one ever gives us. 

He has this wildly grounded way of explaining attachment, self regulation, and emotional safety that makes you stop and go - Oh wait, that’s me. And that’s my ex. And that’s the pattern I swear I’m not repeating anymore.

This episode is honest, eye opening, and surprisingly comforting. 

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attrac...
