The results are in from the poll on social media! I asked, and you answered, and I'm diving in today to talk about social media and how it shapes the way we view our health. There are ways that we can leverage the power of social media without letting it control us. Tune in today to hear more about the impact that social media is having on our physiology and how we can use it intentionally to better ourselves.

The calcium shell occurs in our bodies as a defense mechanism, serving to harden our tissues as a way of protecting us. We can feel the effects of this hardening in various places in our physiology, and it can even be seen in our emotions. Working through calcification is not only about balancing our macro minerals but also working through the mineral patterns that have been imprinted in our emotional patterns. When breaking out of our calcium shells, we may be confronted with emotions and feelings that we were not able to feel and process before.

Nourishment is an initiation. It is just the beginning of the healing that our bodies need to experience, but we can’t begin to heal without being in a place of nourishment. Sometimes, these healing experiences can feel like a roller coaster. Sometimes, we feel better; other times, we feel worse. But you have to trust the process, trust your body, and surrender to the healing that your body is crying out for.

With the rise in diet fads such as fasting and ketogenic diets, it is crucial to understand the role that glucose plays in our bodies and how nourishing our cells at a metabolic level is the key to moving away from stress and burnout. Listen in today to hear more about the key to managing your low blood sugar and how it can help you manage your stress, step away from burnout, and get back to a place of healing.

We’re back for Part 2 of our discussion on Beautiful vs The Beauty Standard, and today, we’re talking about Vanity vs Wisdom and how the beauty standard has upended our values as a society. Tune in today for a deeper dive into vanity and wisdom and the shift that the women in our society need to make to begin to truly value themselves and define what beauty is to them.

The pressure to be beautiful has been a battle that women have been fighting for the last century. Beauty standards have shifted in so many different ways over the last several decades, and women have always been searching for ways to fit the standard that society has created for them to be identified as “beautiful.”
Tune in today to dive deeper into what true beauty is and how it contrasts with the beauty standard of society. You are beautiful, regardless of how you align with today’s beauty standards

We’re back for part two of our discussion about feminine libido! Join me today as we get down to the nitty-gritty of the feminine libido and the steps that you can take to get back on track with your nourishment, your feminine energy, and your partner.

The female libido is one of the most requested topics in this community, so we’re diving in head-first today to look at the deeper intricacies of the female libido and the different physiological factors that influence it. Join me today in this episode, where we dive deeper into the roots of the feminine libido and the changes we need to make to re-align our bodies with our feminine energy.

Boundaries have been a hot topic for quite a while in the health and wellness space. One of the ways that we misunderstand boundaries is that, rather than imposing our feelings on someone else under the guise of a “boundary,” boundaries should really be more about understanding where the line lies between one person and another. Tune in today to hear more about what it really means to have boundaries that go beyond just saying no and help us truly tap into our feminine power and potential.

Tune in to this episode to hear more about the needs we have for community, guidance, and nurturing and how we can find our way back to our feminine energy by focusing on being present and focusing on what truly matters.

Healing from trauma is a process that requires a nourished body and a shift into your feminine energy. Many women are finding themselves in a state of burnout in high masculine energy and are struggling to heal from their trauma as a result. We have to shift back to our core nature as women to truly process and heal from our traumas.
This episode is such a deep cleansing dive that can help us take a deeper look at why and how we operate the way that we do and start to lean into the importance of nurturing ourselves, even if we never really learned how to.

Over the last few years, trauma healing has come to center stage and gotten a lot of attention. So much so that we’re beginning to label any experience that proved to be difficult as ‘trauma.’ And for experiences that we’ve had that are traumatic, we aren’t healing from it or processing it appropriately.
Because of this, our trauma starts to become part of our identity, and instead of moving on, we hold it with us as we move through life.

I dive head first into burnout this week and break down what burnout is and what it does to our bodies on a deeper level. Burnout puts us in a state of fight or flight, and for those of us who have been experiencing burnout for several years, the physiological effects can be extreme.

This week I explore our complicated relationship with the female appetite from a cultural and physiological perspective. I walk through the demonization of appetite and women’s disassociation from their body’s needs as well as the important role appetite plays in hormones, regulating reproduction, and blood sugar.

A holistic and critical exploration of the “pro-metabolic diet” – what it is, what it’s not, where it came from, why so many people are drawn to it, and how some people have “hurt” themselves with it.

The Pro-metabolic Diet done right…. and oh so wrong. Why dieting and seeing food this way inevitably hurts us. Breaking the dieting cycle. Why people look at diets to save them. Why health is more complex than just eating a certain way and taking supplements. Looking at influencer culture and social media and how unhealthy people approach food.
