This isn't just a story about hormones. It's a story about honesty, healing, and finally giving yourself permission to slow down.

Like so many women, she was focused on performance, ambition, and chasing her goals — until her body forced her to listen. What started as a search for physical healing quickly be...

Pregnancy is hard as fuck. There is so much change in such a short period of time, major hormonal shifts, financial stress and pressure, relationships being tested, weight gain, physical discomfort, fear of birth, miscarriages, stillbirths, challenging family dynamics, postpartum, anxiety about being perfect, etc, etc.  I get it, I see you, and all of these fears, worries, anxieties, and emotions...

I'm afraid of birth, I'm afraid of becoming a mother, I'm afraid of how this will change my life, my marriage, and my work. And yet, I'm doing it all anyways.  Fear is the emotion that holds us back, it is paralyzing and keeps us stuck in our comfort zone. Even if we're unhappy in our relationships, in our work, in our pain at least it's familiar, right?  Fear requires us to be brave, to take acti...

I often meet women when they're in the midst of an unexpected crisis whether it be a major health issue, the end of a relationship, being let go from a job, etc. In our work together I help them reclaim their sense of control so that they can grow, heal, and transform through their experiences instead of continuing to feel like a victim to unforeseen circumstances. I hope that this podcast episode...

Why do we have such a hard time letting go? When we experience grief from losing someone we love, heartbreak, contending with major disappointment after failing, etc there is a secondary emotion that emerges - guilt. We feel guilty for not feeling the way we were supposed to, guilty for continuing to live when someone else has passed on, guilty for feeling angry and resentful, guilty for letting p...

Disappointment, frustration, limitations, and defeat start to eat away at our sense of hope when it comes to healing. By the time most women find me they have explored so many other options like diets, medications, exercise routines, therapies, etc and placed their trust in doctors, books, and other healers only to end up doubtful, cynical, and pessimistic because they STILL don't have the results...

Are we ever done healing? This question sparked a conversation between me and my husband, Jeff, which led to us immediately sitting down to record an episode.  Throughout his life Jeff has experienced extraordinary loss, grief, fear, and self-doubt which ultimately led to him becoming the single most resilient, resourceful, and strong-willed man I've ever known.  In this conversation we explore th...

Honestly, this is an episode I was nervous to share because I open up about experiences and challenges that very few women outside of my Balanced Woman community, even my closest friends and family members, know very much about. I offer it to you now because I recognize that part of me becoming a mother is leaving my shame, guilt, and fear in the past where it belongs so that my joy, gratitude, an...

I just got back from spending 3 weeks with my family which has me reflecting on just how far our relationships have come.

As the warm haze of sleep washes over you, you smile knowing that when you wake up you'll feel revitalized, restored, and ready for your day.  Difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep is one of the most common concerns clien...

Sometimes we don't realize just how much we need to rest until we finally have the time and space to fully surrender our responsibilities, burdens, stress, and worries. A good night of sleep, daily naps, and the occasional weekend getaway all help to maintain our wellbeing, but more profound healing requires a devotion of time and attention.  In the podcast episode I'm joined by one of my extraord...

If so, chances are there is some unresolved anger at the root of what you're feeling and experiencing.  In this episode I shed light on the toxic loop of repressing our anger and how this...

Out of the blue, I had a seizure and lost consciousness this past weekend. As we move through our healing journeys there may be moments that feel like we're falling back into old patterns, behaviors, illnesses and we'll experience flare ups of symptoms. This can lead to a lot of doubt and questions about whether we're doing things right, where this is coming from, and what the next steps are. In t...
