We remember the birthdays and the anniversaries. We make sure the sports jersey is clean for the game the next day. We plan the grocery list, shuttle the kids and make thousands of little decisions a day. This mental load takes a toll on our health and wellbeing.  Join me this week as we take a look at how the Invisible Load of Womanhood creates a breeding ground for menstrual cycle challenges and...

I am so excited to welcome Emma Moon of @cosmicallynourished onto the show as...

Rebooting Your Favorite Episodes of 2024: How often do you drop into your body and truly listen to what lies there? Many of us are disconnected from our body wisdom and it is one of the big reasons we struggle with our health, decision making and more.

Rebooting Your Favorite Episodes of 2024: I’ve been following @kristinhauser for a long time now and was thrilled she agreed to join me for an episode! Kristin is a fellow Chinese medicine practitioner and we sat down to discuss the technocratic approach to women’s health. What is the technocratic approach, you might ask? Join us as we talk about how the model invites predicted outcomes and we are...

Rebooting Your Favorite Episodes of 2024: How do we measure our worth? Is it by how productive we are? How clean our house is? How we dress? What has become incredibly clear to me as a practitioner over the years is that women don't feel they are "worthy" of rest. They believe they are defined by how much they do, appearances (both physical and in the home) and if they pause for a m...

When you think of period problems like cramps and heavy flow - how many of you think “how do I feel emotionally?” In Western culture the default is to assume there is something physically wrong when we have pain and disharmony but rarely do we consider emotions as a potential root cause. Join me this week as I make this connection between emotions and symptoms and why it’s so important to take car...

For many of us expectations and reality are vastly different. We set ourselves up for failure with “to do” lists that can never be accomplished in a day. We try to tackle these lists on less than 8 hours of sleep grabbing whatever we can for food on the go. Join me this week as I reflect on my postpartum recovery and how it’s served as a microcosm of the bigger struggle - we feel shame to rest. Wh...

Do you feel like you can’t ask for help? Are you worried you put people out when you express your need for an extra set of hands? Women always did things in sisterhood and in villages of support before the modern era.    Trying to do everything solo is not only unreasonable to expect of ourselves but simply impossible.    In this week’s episode we look at why we feel shame around our need for a vi...

There are so many myths around birth. I am excited to share with you this week the conversation I had with author and child birth advocate Khristee Rich. We talked about common misconceptions and set the record straight so you have the teas on your fertility journey. Khristee Rich helps women to prioritize their health and wellness before conception so they not only conceive naturally past 35, but...

This election has stirred so many feelings for so many of us. This week’s episode is not another political analysis (I’m over them - who’s with me?!) but a look at history and how we will prevail even when it feels dark. Join me this week as I offer hope for a bleak future and invite you to rise in the face of adversity. Moon Essence® : Holistic solutions for a symptom free life. Join The Rebel Fr...

Those who give their light, their expertise and their energy to others on a regular basis often put their needs at a lower priority in service to others. Today I sit down with Dr. Lisa Parsons as we talk about healers needing love and support too. Moon Essence® : Holistic solutions for a symptom free life.

Pregnancy is a journey for everyone. For some the fertility journey is a long road to hold their little miracle at the end. My journey to hold my son is the creation story of my practice Moon Essence® and a journey many have asked about.   Join me and Allycia Kimball this week as we talk about the birth story of my son. His birth was ferocious, powerful and transformational on so many levels. Moon...

I have seen so much chatter in mom's groups lately about girls starting their periods between 9 and 11. There are post after post questioning body development, are they too early/on track, when should the period arrive and more. The media outlets are doing more reports on girls starting their periods earlier than any other time in history. We are on the brink of some very unhealthy shifts in...

It is so easy to feel like a failure when you experience a pregnancy loss. You feel like you failed to carry a baby. Your body didn't show up for the job and there has to be a reason or a "thing to be fixed" in order to prevent it in the future. You aren't a failure. Your body didn't fail. There can be physical, emotional and spiritual reasons that the spirit didn't i...

Approximately 1 in 8 pregnancies will result in a loss. It is so much more common than people think and many of us suffer in silence when it occurs. If you have been following Reproductive Rebel for a while you know that I've been very open about my journey through loss to let others know 1) they are not alone and 2) there is healing and light down the tunnel after a loss.  I am so blessed to...

October is pregnancy and infant loss remembrance month. It is so common and yet for those of us who have experienced it we often feel like we are going through it alone. This month there are several episodes that look at this topic from a holistic perspective - emotional, spiritual and physical. I have been dying to share this juicy episode since we recorded because it offers a spiritual look at w...

In Ep 6 of Reproductive Rebel this season I had a beautiful conversation with Katie Ama Rose of @spiritremembered about a heart centered existence and how that is a guiding force in life and in health. It was SUCH a juicy conversation we decided we had to get back to the mic and do it again.  Join us this week as we talk about the magical portal of the womb that lives with in us and how we hold li...

Your body is the movie projector of your life. It holds all the stories, intergenerational trauma and more that shape how our bodies show up for us today. Many people don't give the emotional and spiritual body much focus as causes for the illnesses or symptoms they experience.  Join me this week as I sit down with Jennifer Takagi and we talk about the important role emotions, beliefs and the...

There are so many women looking for a "holistic OB/GYN" and they are truly hard to find. Sometimes they might brand themselves that way and when you get into the office you find they are far more traditional in their approach than you expected or wanted. While "holistic" tends to be a buzz word when looking for care in a post COVID era, what does that kind of care truly look li...

What does it mean to be authentic? It takes courage and strength when most people think authenticity and vulnerability are a weakness.  Join me and Kellie Rhymes as we talk about authentic beauty and the unstoppable force you become when you learn to step into that kind of power. Moon Essence® : Holistic solutions for a symptom free life. Join The Rebel Frequency Inner Circle to unlock bonus episo...

In season 2 of Reproductive Rebel we discussed how the postpartum period is the second golden opportunity for healing in a woman's life. I'm not one to talk about "bio hacking" but there are some practices that have been understood in ancient times and other cultures that we have lost sight of in modern times that can be the difference between 10 years of postnatal depletion (t...

Can we talk for a moment about laws that are held in regards to body sovereignty? Did you know there are NO laws governing what a man can do with their body but there is for women? Let's unpack this insanity in this week's episode.  This isn't a political discussion - its a legal one. Regardless of your political leanings this is a thought provoking episode you won't want to mi...
