From Holistic Cults To a Hysterectomy

Inside Out 3

Today, my dear friend Meikell sheds light on her work as a transformational coach, where she helps individuals and business employees tap into their own intuition to self-heal and navigate this human experience from a place of self-love rather than self-criticism. We discuss how to sit with anger and grief, along with what the world would look like if we viewed everything through a neutral lens. Dive down to the subconscious with us—it's basically a sneak peek of the next Inside Out movie.

Don't Resist The Flow, My Girl.

We flooded our house on two separate occasions over the past ten days. Yes, you heard that right. Both were user-error incidents where my husband and I caused more water damage than a low-level hurricane. This week on the pod, I'll be discussing how surrendering to my cycle has taught me to swim with unwanted currents and why resisting the flow only causes more harm. Join me in learning how to float on top of the absolute raginggg waters of life; it's a lot nicer up here, promise.

From Holistic Cults To a Hysterectomy

Today, my friend Lena and I delve into the intricacies of Eastern and Western medicine. Lena talks about how getting a hysterectomy pulled her out of the holistic extremism she found herself in, and why living a nuanced life has improved her overall wellbeing. We explore what it was like for her to make this life-changing decision and discuss ways we can support other women facing similar health issues. To know Lena is to love her—and I'm confident that everyone who tunes in this week will feel the same. *The following is not intended to diagnose or treat any mental health or physical condition or disease.

Rom-Com Rotting— the New Cold Plunge

This week, I'm sharing the tip you didn't know you needed. When you're feeling low, I have the perfect solution—and no, it's not about sitting with your emotions. I'm learning that sometimes our over-analyzing little brains need a break, and rom-com rotting is my new go-to. You'll feel like you just stepped out of a therapy session after adding this mental health tool to your belt. Trust me.

Bloopers From My Most-listened-to Episode Plus a Female Flow Update!

This week, I'm bringing you a fun summer send-off episode, featuring bloopers from my most-listened-to episode.
