The ReProgram

Mark Wolynn is one of the foremost experts on inherited family trauma and the author of the award-winning It Didn't Start With You — and what he shared in this episode stopped me in my tracks more than once. We go deep on how trauma doesn't just live in our own nervous systems — it travels through generations and through our biology. Through the stories we tell ourselves about who we are a...

I have another amazing mama and woman for you today! One that was once a stranger on the other side of the internet (and country) and has now become yet another incredible woman in my orbit who has both received and provided me (and so so many others) with the life-giving, shame relieving, hope believing, exhale inducing magic that women naturally intuitively freely provide (when they're in th...

I have decided to pepper the summer with podcast episodes of the incredible women that are in my phone, that inspire, amuse and reinforce my faith daily that women are brilliant, and are absolutely gonna be alright.  You see, my phone is filled with Marco Polo groups of women that have done Safe Inside (my 6 week somatic coaching container) and Safe in the Shadow (my 6 week somatic group coaching...

I was a guest on Nicole's Podcast "Heal Out Loud," and the convo was so darn good, I wanted to copy and paste and make sure my people got to experience it too. We went deep into what it actually means to love yourself — not the aesthetic version, not the bubble bath version, but the version that makes loneliness lose its grip. The version that stops you from needing someone else in t...

Oooo this is such a timely and potent episode with the light, wise and innovative Wendy Synder, Parent Coach and author of the forthcoming book Fresh Start Your FamilyPowerful Parenting to Restore Peace in Your Home. Having been in the parenting field for roughly two decades each, Wendy and I explore what it really means to parent with both firm boundaries and deep connection without falling into...

What does somatic healing actually look like for a millennial mom in the middle of real life? In this episode I sit down with Allie McQuaid to talk about the specific emotional landscape millennial moms are navigating right now — burnout, identity, boundaries, and the societal and patriarchal pressures that shape so much of the motherhood experience without us even realizing it. We cover somatic r...

This episode with Tricia Wilson, fellow facilitator of the Circle of Security Training, hits to the root of all we need to know as parents. Circle of Security is a simple, powerful way of understanding what children actually need from us. Essentially, it shows us that kids move out into the world to explore (the top of the circle), and then come back to us for comfort, connection, and regulation (...

What an important conversation with wise seasoned clinician, writer, and somatic couples therapist Jordan Dann we have for you today. Jordan illuminates how implicit attachment dynamics play out in couples (that alone is worth the listen!), we talk about the drama triangle (something that was so powerful for me to learn and work with in the last year), shifting from codependence to interdependence...

Ready for to exhale? My goodness, my ancestral healer Kathryn Blau is here to groundedly expand our awareness into the ancestral support available to us all, and my Lord we need it more than ever down here on this motherloving earth plane. Kathryn is a mama herself, and was trained by Dr. Daniel Foor, one of the leading experts in ancestral healing for personal and cultural transformation. I wante...

MN-born Kathleen Hoagland LPC has stepped in to meet the moment of the acute and collective trauma that is happening in Minnesota and to our country at the hands of ICE. In this conversation, Kathleen inspires and soothes us by explaining the therapeutic mutual-aid she has organized for the people of MN, she empowers and educates us on the various nervous system responses that are happening for al...

This conversation with Kristina Kyser, PhD (brilliant brave neurodivergent mother of three, former psycho-therapist turned somatic-spiritual educator), came at a moment when all of our nervous systems are feeling deeply rocked by what is happening in our country. It feels (increasingly) impossible to talk about “mental health,” “normalcy,” or “healing” without naming the water we are all swimming...

I loved this conversation with the wise James Deegan, Irish intuitive healer and inner child shaman. In a world where so many women and children are still living with the consequences of unsafe masculinity, we desperately need examples of men who are willing to face their own shadows, take responsibility for harm, and become emotionally safe. His story is massive, his determination unbelievable, i...

In this conversation, I sit down with my friend, author and Declutter Coach Katy Joy Wells  to talk about something that sounds simple on the surface (decluttering) but is actually deeply emotional, psychological, and relational. In a world of tips, tricks and hacks, Katy truly gets the internal obstacles to "just get rid of the things," and meets us right there. We explore what Katy cal...

In this conversation, I sit down with intuitive astrologer Virginia Rosenberg to talk about the astrology we just passed through in 2025, and what's coming in for us in 2026. Lucky us, Virginia just wrote a whole book about the astrology of 2026 called "Convergence; the 2026 Cosmic Calendar." A long-trusted voice in the astrology space, Virginia brings astrology out of the abstract and into the bo...

In this episode, I get to sit down with my friend and kindred spirit, Marisol Collette — the brilliant therapist-turned-style-coach who somehow manages to make fashion feel like a portal to healing instead of a performance we have to nail. Marisol and I talk about what really happens when the inside of you and the outside of you don’t quite match — when your body is changing, your identity is shif...

I got to sit down with the one and only Mary Van Geffen, the wise, hilarious, caring, OG spicy one here to help the moms raising the big-feeling, strong-willed, exquisitely sensitive children, to talk about her forthcoming book, "Parenting a Spicy One; A Compassionate Guide for Raising a Deep-Feeling and Wonderfully Strong-Willed Kid." We spent this episode wandering through the real ter...

In today’s episode, I sit down with the brilliant and grounding Erin Walsh (author of "It's Their World Teens, Screens and the Science of Adolescence" and co-founder of the Spark and Stitch Institute) to talk about something every parent I know is secretly panicking about: raising humans in a digital world that evolves faster than our nervous systems can blink . Erin and I go way bey...

Calling all Recovering Golden Children! I know you are my peeps! This week, I sat down with Lauren Smallcomb, author of Golden Child —a beautiful book encapsulating and illuminating the journey from Golden Child to Scapegoat to Real Free Human. In this episode, we talk about what it means to grow up in a dysfunctional family system and how so many of us were quietly cast as the “good one,” the res...

This week I sat down with our new best friend and community-building-sherpa, Dominica Ruta for one of my favorite episodes to date. Dominica is a fellow cyclebraker, Mama, and writer of the recent novel "All the Mothers," where she explores blending families based on shared motherhood, co-carrying the load, de-shaming our shiitake and love transcending the forms we were told it comes in....

I had the joy of speaking with 66-year-old therapist and fellow mother (who’s been practicing about as long as Taylor Swift has been alive), Maureen Motley about these times we're living in, how capitalism divides the generations, and what it feels like to watch her adult child navigating a very different world than the one she came up in. Maureen is wise and deeply joyful, and her love and wi...

Today I sit down with my dear friend and powerhouse healer Dula Josephine to talk about something that lights us both up: the collective side of healing. Josephine shares her own journey from deep burnout to a life filled with creativity, community, and pleasure, that was very much sparked by her involvement with my Group Coaching container Nurtured Mama. Together we trace how group work, inner-ch...

I had the privilege of sitting down with viral poet and author David Gate to talk about his recent beautiful book Rebellion of Care —a straight-from-the-heart exploration of how self-care and mutual care are radical and urgent in a culture that prizes productivity over people. We looked at how trauma shapes our relationships, why friendship and community are survival skills, and how language and a...

In this conversation with spiritual teacher, channeler, and one of my biggest mentors Paige Turlitzi, I felt like we were tracing the invisible threads that weave healing and consciousness together. We wandered through the Akashic Records, the Hawkins scale, and that brave journey from victim to creator consciousness. BTW, The Hawkins scale, developed by Dr. David R. Hawkins, is a map of human con...

I got to sit down with writer, mother and woman-in-a-body Ruthie Ackerman to talk about her powerful memoir The Mother Code —and let me tell you, this one cracked something open in me. Ruthie is re-imagining what motherhood even means, beyond the scripts and myths we inherited. We went deep into the messy truths: maternal ambivalence (yes, it’s normal), the weight of cultural expectations, and the...

In this episode, I sit down with Psychedelic Somatic Therapist Christian Snuffer for a conversation about attunement —what it really means to be in touch with ourselves and each other, and why it’s at the heart of healing. We talk about the nervous system (of course), and about how somatic awareness—paying attention to what’s happening in our bodies—isn’t just a side practice, but the actual doorw...
