Ready to talk healing, purpose, and the real reasons sex, death, and money make us squirm? 

In this episode of the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Marie-Elizabeth Mali—relationship alchemist, coach, and taboo-breaker extraordinaire. We’re diving deep into the wild intersections of healing work, self-discovery, and the three topics most people avoid (but secretly crave more clarity around). 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re here for something more—and you’re ready to reclaim your power, your pleasure, and your voice—this conversation is your permission slip to do just that.
