trimester zero: how I'm prepping my body for pregnancy

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been nervous to share: trimester zero (aka the three months before trying to conceive) and how I’m prepping my body for pregnancy without spiraling, biohacking my life, or turning this into a full-time job. ✨ In this episode: * The supplements I’ve added and what I’ve phased out * Why I’m focusing on nervous system > optimization * The reminder that your body is not a project If you’re thinking about trying soon, already in the thick of it, or just feeling the pressure that women put on themselves in this season, this is me holding your hand through it. 🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast for mindset, growth, and the messy process of becoming your highest self.

episode how to get your spark back artwork

how to get your spark back

In this episode, I’m talking about something I know so many of us go through but don’t always have language for: losing your spark. That feeling when everything feels harder, your energy is dull, and you just don’t quite feel like yourself. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about clearing what’s blocking the version of you that’s already there. ✨ In this episode: * The role hormones, overstimulation, and life transitions play in burnout * The honesty practice that changed everything for me * Small habits that rebuild self-trust and momentum If you’ve been feeling off, disconnected, or like you’ve lost your energy lately, this episode is for you. Your spark isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for you to come back to yourself. 🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast for mindset, growth, and the messy process of becoming your highest self.

simple tweaks that can change your day

In this episode, I share the small but powerful tweaks I’ve been making to my morning and night routines that have created a huge shift in how I feel. From hydration and hormones to sleep and nervous system regulation, I’m walking you through the micro-habits that are helping me feel more grounded, energized, and radiant from the inside out. ✨ In this episode: * The morning routine tweaks that actually boosted my energy and digestion * Why I’m drinking bone broth before caffeine (and limiting matcha) * The supplements and hormone support I’m experimenting with If you’re trying to feel better in your body, build routines that actually stick, or create more calm and radiance in your daily life, this one’s for you.

episode things I no longer pretend to enjoy artwork

things I no longer pretend to enjoy

In this episode, I dive into an unhinged, yet very honest list of things I’m officially done pretending to enjoy. From wellness trends and productivity habits to fashion, food, and modern communication norms, this is your permission slip to stop liking things just because everyone else does. ✨ In this episode: * Why I’ll never do a cold plunge (and why that’s okay) * The peace that comes from zero phone notifications * My beef with hard pants, protein bars, and overtracking health data If you’ve ever caught yourself pretending to like something just to keep up, this episode is your sign to let it go. 🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast for mindset, growth, and the messy process of becoming your highest self.

episode the advice I always give brides artwork

the advice I always give brides

In this episode, I talk about the advice I always end up giving brides: not about seating charts or timelines, but about how to actually feel on your wedding day. This is more of a mindset conversation around pressure, emotions, and how to stay present when everything feels big and fast and overwhelming. ✨ In this episode: * A realization that completely changed how I thought about my wedding * The part of weddings that no one really prepares you for emotionally * What actually helps you stay present when the day is flying by If you’re engaged, have a wedding coming up, or just feel like you’re heading into a really meaningful moment and don’t want to blink and miss it, this one’s for you. 🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast about mindset, growth, and figuring things out as you go.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
