The Thyroid-Cycle Connection: TCM Root Causes Behind Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism

If you have Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and you're still not feeling well on medication, this episode is for you. In 2023, my thyroid crashed at the same time as my divorce. I couldn't fold laundry without breaking down. I couldn't lift my leg in downward dog. I was losing my words mid-sentence. I had been diagnosed since I was 13, medicated for years, and still had no idea how bad things had gotten until I hit absolute rock bottom. This episode is the physical side of that story, and more importantly, what actually changed things for me. I'm walking you through how your thyroid connects to your cycle, your liver, your gut, and your hormones, why you can be "in range" on your labs and still feel absolutely terrible, and the TCM root causes that Western medicine doesn't have a framework for addressing. Plus the client who went from debilitating brain fog and hair loss to consistently lifting weights and feeling like everything was finally working, in six months. Your thyroid is shaped like a butterfly for a reason. This is your butterfly moment.

Divorce, Long-Term Love & the Advice We're Done Listening To ft. Sydni of Sacred Reclamation

Unpopular opinion: most relationship advice is garbage. And Sydni and I are here to say it. In this unfiltered episode, my dear friend and herbalist Sydni of Sacred Reclamation joins me for one of our favorite things — hitting record on a conversation we were already having. We get into my divorce and why I've never once seen myself as a victim of it, her eight-year relationship and the really hard season she moved through this past winter, and all the tired relationship tropes we are so done hearing. We also talk about what it actually looks like to take space in a long-term relationship, calling your energy back to yourself, the victim mindset and how to move through it without living there, and the kind of female friendship that holds you down when everything falls apart. No perfect answers here. Just two women being really honest about love.

Learning to Feel Again: Krista’s Journey from Numbness Back to her Body

What does it actually look like to go from chronically numbed out, medicated, and disconnected — to doing the most embodied, soul-level healing work of your life? In this episode, I sit down with Krista McGuigan, somatic body worker and pelvic care practitioner, who takes us on the full journey: from tomboy teen mortified by her first bleed, to software engineer in San Francisco on four medications, to solo traveling the world and finding herself — landing in Colorado doing the most grounded, tissue-deep work with women. We talk about breakfast as a spiritual practice, the hungry ghost energy of seeking without substance, what plant medicine and ayahuasca cracked open for her, and how her entire life has been a journey of learning to actually feel herself as a woman. Plus — Krista shares how she works with women through somatic self-touch, pelvic care, and her upcoming live class, Belly Tending (May 8th).
