The Fiercely Awakening Podcast

Last week in part one , we tore down the biggest lie in modern motherhood... that ill health is normal. And I handed you the first eight of the 15 indicators I use in my practice to read whether a child is THRIVING or whether their body is quietly asking for help. But here is what I know. It's one thing to start seeing the whispers. It's another thing entirely to know what to do once you cannot un...

What if the things you've been told are just "normal" childhood stuff... The eczema. The cavities. The headaches. The colic. The chronic ear infections. The picky eating. The constipation. The meltdowns. The bedwetting. The brain fog. The mouth breathing. What if none of that is actually normal at all? Almost one in two children today has at least one persistent health concern. That number was uni...

I was recently on a call with a Fiercely Empowered Mama who was in a perfect storm. Her body was depleted. Her hormones were a mess. Her sleep was wrecked. And she had landed in an overwhelming histamine flare. In the middle of pouring all of it out to me, she said something I'd heard before from a hundred women. "I just cannot wait to get back to MYSELF." And I get it.  But when she said it out l...

This is the episode where I take you behind the curtain. At 24, my body said NO. At 29, I found my purpose. By 30, I had a baby who would teach me more about my work than any book ever could. In part two of our conversation on the power of a wake-up call, I take you inside some of my most defining wake-up calls, plus a few I have rarely shared publicly. Each one shaped a different room of who I am...

I have watched too many women hit a wake-up call without anyone ever giving them the language for what was actually unfolding. The season that finally asked more of them than they could push through. The moment that made it clear something had to change. We are taught that hard things are punishment. We are taught that the storm means something is wrong with us. We are taught to push past, survive...

Two and a half years into a strength training journey. Seven weeks into my current, intentional, fat loss phase. And sharing every lesson I learned the hard way. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what actually changed my body. The mistakes I made in year one. The shift that happened in year two. The recovery lesson that changed everything. My current cut. And the truth about how lon...

For twenty years, carbs have been the most demonized macronutrient in the wellness world. We've been told to cut them, count them, restrict them, time them, avoid them after 6 p.m., only eat them post-workout, only eat the "right" ones, never eat them alone. And what has it gotten us, mama? Tanked thyroids. Disrupted cycles. Hair falling out. Anxiety crawling up the back of our skulls. Sleep that...

This episode is for the mama who's been quietly carrying the weight of impending doom while still showing up for breakfast and pickup line and bedtime. You feel it in so many ways. Having dinner with the friend who will not stop catastrophizing. Reading the article that lands in your inbox. Seeing a headline at the grocery store checkout. The PTSD that's still living in your body from Covid. Liste...

You are the main character of your own life. The through-line. The driver. The dreamer. The one without whom none of this happens. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to claim that energy, starting tomorrow. This is not about doing more. It's about leading more intentionally. YOU go first. Listen in to hear: Why kept promises are how confidence is actually built. The two-year project I...

This week, I did something that I tell you NOT to do. I broke my own rule, on purpose, just to see what would happen. I skipped my morning anchors. No first intentional thought. No charged water. No affirmation. No declaration. I still went outside. I still ate breakfast. But I let my brain run wild. Just to see what would happen. What unfolded was a perfectly ordinary day where my body took me on...

What if your morning didn't have to be perfect to be powerful? What if the secret to a life that feels nourished, intentional and SPACIOUS wasn't another 5 a.m. wake-up call, but a quiet, compounding practice of stacking 1%'s, day after day, until the woman you're becoming is the woman you already are? In this episode, I bring you inside my actual morning routine and show you the framework underne...

When it comes to children’s health, most of us were raised on the same story: that germs are the enemy and symptoms mean something is wrong. But what if that story isn’t true? In this episode, I’m taking you into the conversation that changes everything: the terrain of health and why every mother deserves to understand it. Listen in, and you'll learn: What “terrain” actually means, and why it’s no...

Have you ever made a decision that makes very little sense, but also makes PERFECT sense at the same time? These are always the best, most expansive decisions. But oftentimes, they’re the hardest to CLAIM.  I knew I was facing a decision like this when I got a last-minute nudge to go to Glacier National Park for our 17th wedding anniversary. And in today’s episode, I share how I decided what to do...

Do you know why you quit that healthy habit, even though it felt so good when you started it? At the beginning, you were determined to build a momentum that would last far longer than just a few weeks. And yet, you lost it.  You stopped yourself from moving in the very direction you want to go. Your brain has a sneaky way of derailing you from the progress you so badly desire. And in today’s episo...

Birth today in the US is a pretty corrupted experience. How often does it go the way mom wants? The way baby wants? This conversation is a sacred one. Birth is where it all starts. Every single one of us has a birth story. In other words, the way we came into the world IS significant. In today’s episode, I sit down with FEM Nicole Safford, RN, BCP2, BCP3, and we go deep into birth trauma. Our conv...

As you know, I’m an avid reader, rabbit hole deep-diver and researcher.  I want to know the truth. Always.  And one of my gifts is my built-in bullshit detector. My body quickly responds to and has resonance with truth and alignment, knowing when false narratives, pretty lies or fear mongering are at play. So when I started hearing and seeing highly respected and adored natural health influencers...
