Fertility is so much more than just the physical functioning of your body. When conception doesn't happen right away - what do we do? We go to the doctor and the diagnostic tests begin. While for some this can uncover helpful information - it's only 1/3 of the story. Join me this week as I sit down with author Khristee Rich of @thedancingcurtain as we discuss all the facets of the fertil...

Join me this week as I sit down with author Susan Salenger as we talk about the importance of a second opinion, common challenges in our current health care system and how trusting your body&a...

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!) We go in search of solutions when we don't feel like we are getting the answers we seek. It is normal to do this and it is an attempt to empower ourselves. The challenge is whether the information "Dr. Google&...

Breast soreness, cramping, fatigue, irritability...sounds like I'm describing premenstrual syndrome, right? For some women, they believe their period is coming just a few days after their bleed because they experience these symptoms only to feel them disappear after a few days and the bleed doesn't arrive until two weeks later. Why does this happen?  Join me this week to learn why we can...

Pain, irritability, breast tenderness, fatigue - sounds like your period is about to arrive, right? Do you feel these things a week or so after your bleed finishes only to not have your period arrive again?

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 the...

I’ve been following @kristinhauser for a long time now and was thrilled she agreed to join me for an episode!

Join us this week as we talk about how the model invites predicted outcomes and we are offering another perspective. M...

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. Interested to learn more about offer...

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.  Join me this week to learn more about how the emotional and physical symptoms that...

Tampons are one of the most popular products used to "manage" the bleeding days of the period. They are quick, easy to stash in pockets and everywhere else and discreet. Did you know that your tampon use has a down side? Yes - even if you use organic tampons, there is a downside to their use.  If you are a tampon user and/or you struggle with cramping during your period this is an episod...

As someone who really struggled with postpartum recovery with my first child, I am passionate about giving you all the teas about this phase of your life. 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.

Join me this week as we talk about sound as a healing modality and how it transforms all the spaces and places inside of you to come into right relationship and foster an environment of t...

Mythbusting time! If I had a nickel for every time I had a person tell me that birth control regulates their period - I'd be a very rich woman. The truth is - this understanding is not true.  In fact, you aren't even HAVING a period on birth control. Not only is it not regulating your cycle but you aren't even having one. Sound sus? Join me this week and find out just what I'm...
