Holistic care truly is individual. While there are patterns that emerge - googling "what herb is good for cramps" often isn't a strong approach (enter an herbalist!)

The challenge is whether the information "Dr. Google" is giving you really fits you...

Is this perimenopause? I get asked this question so often by clients - and this week's guest confirms I am not the only practitioner being asked this question. It raises awareness about how little we truly know about this phase of our life and what is normal vs normalized. Join me this week as I have another awesome conversation with Dr. Andrea Smith @drdrealynn as we unpack the perimenopausal journey.

Why does this happen? 

Join me this week to learn why we can become symptomatic at ovulation (wh...

It can be really tough talking to our teens about how their body changes and challenges they will encounter as they step into adulthood. It is possible to have an age-appropriate conversation that is body literacy focused and not sex focused (contrary to popular belief in our educational system.) 

In this week's episode we tackle Tough Talk: Teens and Body Literacy as we explore just what they need to know and how as ...

What is authentic pleasure? Why do we disassociate so much as women?

 When we disconnect from an embodied experience, our pleasure is no longer spontaneous.  This impacts many levels of our being and can even be related to chronic pain.  

Join me this week for a deeper dive into why this occurs and what we can do about it with Jodi Thomas of Surrender in Motion.

PMS - everyone's favorite time of the month. No? Well, if you are in the "no" camp it is likely because these symptoms are disrupting your life. Have you ever considered they are trying to communicate something to you? No, it’s not that your "body hates you" - it’s actually a cry for help.

If you are a tampon user and/or you struggle with cramping during your period this is an episode you won't want to m...

I heard a phrase a colleague said a few years ago and it always stuck with me - help is not help, unless it is help. I unpack just what this means and how well intentioned people coming to visit the baby might not always help you in the ways you need to make a proper rec...
