In this episode, I share one simple question that has transformed how I support others and how I feel supported myself. You’ll hear the science behind why this matters for autoimmune health and how asking (or being asked) this one thing can lower stress, ease fatigue, and strengthen your relationships.

You might think "responsibility" sounds heavy, maybe even guilt-ridden. But in this episode, I’m flipping that word on its head. We’re talking about fierce responsibility—not blame, but empowerment.

We made it to Habit 100! And this one might be the most important yet. It's about gratitude—but not just any gratitude. This one’s directed at you…or more specifically, the version of you who did something hard, something helpful, something that your today-self is living the benefit of. And yes, this is also the moment when the podcast shifts—still filled with habits, still grounded in the what/why/how, but now w...

I’m sharing a real coaching session with my client, Sara, who brought this vulnerable question to me as her coach. Together, we unpack the deeper belief behind it, explore where it might be coming from, and build a real-world strategy she can use to feel more grounded and connected—inside and out.

Sometimes it’s easier to track your food than to name your feelings. But what if tuning into your emotions held the key to more energy, consistency, and even health progress with autoimmune disease?
