When we experience trauma in our lives, we often get trapped without realizing it.

It hurts my heart to meet women in their 20s through 90s  who've never released the traumas in their lives and many are deeply depressed by emotions and secrets.

Many never had safe spaces to share those secrets and had to bury them and live trapped by them.  Sadly, often those beautiful women are buried with their secrets.  Bu...

In this episode, I share some of my real and raw stories after my divorce and some of the steps that I did to help myself find LOVE again after my DIVORCE.

I know that these are emotional topics and are difficult to hear without being triggered sometimes.   Yet, I do not want to avoid them because they are common and can be healed from. 

I try to remind myself that triggers are often a dart thrown unintentionally...

Do you live in chronic, constant pain?
Do you wish you could thrive rather than barely survive?

If I can, you can heal and it is my goal that through this episode, you'll find some HOPE to HELP you HEAL (your relationship with food and your body).

I did not have a good relationship with food and trying to START choosing healthier ones based on the BLOOD TYPE eating plan was a very real challenge for me!

Do you feel like a failure?  Do you feel alone and that must be why? 

I want to share with you my truth through a difficult time in my LIFE.
Because some of my truth may be yours also. 
However, I didn't always believe the truth.
I chose to believe the lies that my mind, thoughts, and others were telling me.
The lies keep us in the darkness feeling like we are dying alone!
However, the truth will...

SELF-HEALING is so important in our lives.  Knowing our BLOOD TYPE and how it pertains to our wholeness and well-being is also important in the healing process.  

One of the most popular episodes so far is "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" inspired by the book of the same name written by Dr. D'Adamo.  So, I decided to create this episode diving deeper into the meaning and importance of our blood types and how ...

This episode was inspired by Viktor Frankl's quotes: 

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:  the last of the human FREEDOMS - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

In honor of Father's Day, I wanted to take this time to share how fathers are impacted at times of pregnancy termination or loss.  Fathers have feelings too.  However, too often they are forgotten about because of how society expects them to toughen up, suck it up, and be a "man".  I know personally how difficult the complex emotions can burden men also. 

The goal of this special episode is to let men know ...
