In this episode, I shared about kids in burnout so more mommas can be better equipped. Even if you are a mom in burnout with kids in burnout, you can set a good example for your kiddos and help them recover too. I shared my story, some signs of burnout, why it's more common than we care to admit and what you can do about it.Â

Over the years of working with other moms to help their kiddos I've seen a growing trend of burnout through hair tissue mineral analysis. To me this is no longer 'shocking' news. It's where we are at collectively in light of multiple factors. Understanding the big picture of what we are up against when it comes to our health and well being is so important.Â
Once we understand this we can start to take action. Work to remove the roadblocks (poor nutrition, toxins, clean up our water, stress...) and include more of the building blocks (nutrient dens...
Often times we create more stress when we TRY to do a super clinical protocol after diagnosis of an illness. I truly believe burnout can occur from getting way to caught up in extreme healing protocols.Â
In this podcast episode, I have an amazing in depth conversation with Cathy Eason. A colleague and educator who is also recovering from mold illness. We both realized along the way on our journey that FUN and JOY were key to our recovery.Â

Listen to the Podcast version of this blog post : Find: A Joy To Be Me on iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify Episode 41: A year in review: What are you moving towards?Â
We are heading into a NEW YEAR, Â but does that mean we have to suddenly FIX all the things in our life come January 1st.Â
I’m not setting any New Year’s resolutions or buying some kind of 2021 planner or doing a cleanse or detox
Instead I’m reviewing the year as I always do, reflecting on what I learned and what I still want to learn more about and just moving more towards what lights me up!
I am remembering the freedom to be here and live an enjoyable life!
My purpose is to be in joy and reinvent fun, express who I am, inspire through my being - have fun. Life has already been way too heavy for far too long.Â
No planning to fulfill my potential. I’m organizing around pleasure.
How about you? Are you tired of the pressure to be so productive?

Episode #219: How maternal microbiomes charge immune healthÂ

In this episode, I chat with microbiologist Kiran Krishnan all about immune health. He talks about how our immune system is designed by nature to have all of the traits and capability to handle a virus like Covid. The question is, is your immune system in a condition where it can.
Kiran digs into what can throw off the immune response and condition that makes you more susceptible to Covid. He shares the two large components (innate and adaptive) of your immune system so you can understand better how your body works.
There are lots of tools our immune system has -when it comes to Covid the innate response is coming in and basically over-responding (which is what makes you feel sick). The symptoms you feel, come from the immune response to the pathogen. It's not necessarily the pathogen itself. The pathogen is trying to do it's thing and multiply and then your immune system comes al...
In episode 33 of my podcast, I chat with Marie Houlden about her new book; I Choose To Be Happy.Â
Marie is an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner who helps women who want more in life and aren't sure how to have it.
{Learn more about Marie and her work HERE, find her on Instagram HERE}
A little over 4 years ago, Marie helped me when I was in a deep dark 'funk'. I had parked my ass in my bed in my room for almost a month. I couldn't get up or out, I literally felt glued to the bed and doomed to my depression. I had gained 12 pounds and literally wasn't sure how I would pull out of it all.
I found Marie from several colleagues recommendation. One night in a dream, I saw her face vividly and heard her name audibly. I woke up that morning knowing I had to book a session with her right away, and so I did.
Shortly after working with her (and a life coach and transformation coach), I pulled out of my funk. I even met an amazing man and fell in love. Life started to have meaning and joy aga...
In episode #31 of the podcast, I'm sharing thoughts and resources to help you deal with imposter syndrome. A psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".
Imposter syndrome is when you doubt yourself, your skills, talents or accomplishments. You may have a persistent ongoing internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". This can happen in many areas of your life.
Imposter syndrome can be DEBILITATING. It can cause stress, anxiety, low self confidence, shame and even depression.Â
One of it's biggest limits is that it affects your ability to go after what you want in life.
BUT what if impostor syndrome could help you pave the way to success and your big beautiful dreams? What if you could learn how to use it to your advantage?
Remember your brain is always trying to keep you SAFE.
So if you learn to listen to what your imposter syndrome voice is really trying to say and l...
In this podcast episode, I'm talking about how to get in sync with your cycle, your infradian rhythm. A woman's 28 day cycle rhythm.
When you really know your cycle, the ebbs and flows of your hormones and how that changes your brain over the course of the month, you can work with the shifts instead of against yourself. Understanding how you ebb and flow during your cycle can become a huge source of freedom and energy for you.Â
A few years back I had a cycle that woke me up in a big way. It went REALLY long and hit REALLY hard. Not only that I noticed how dramatically differently I felt in the different phases of my cycle. I had also started getting headaches that coincided with a specific time of the month. I noticed my energy starting to dip significantly during my luteal phase and after being in burnout for so long I paid attention to my body cues so I could SLOW down.
I decided to get to know my cycle more intimately and study the hormones, the cycles and even set an intention to ge...
In this podcast episode, I'm diving into how to flow with your feminine energy to avoid burning out trying to hustle in your 'masculine' energy too much.
The masculine energy likes to DO, and the feminine energy craves to just BE. If you've hung out with me at all on the podcast or social you'll have heard me time and time again encouraging women to stop DOING so much and start BEING more.
I personally got burned the heck out as a single mother and sole-preneur because I spent a lot of time learning how to operate in my masculine energy. It took me a long time to figure this part of my health out and when I did it brought so much relief. It freed up so much energy to allow myself to operate more in my natural energy which is my feminine energy. I began to FLOW in my life, work and relationships.
I have seen this tendency for the modern woman and mother to be very hyper-vigilant which is more of a masculine energy. Losing sight of the beauty and freedom to be more in their true feminine...
In this podcast episode (#28), I have a dynamic conversation with Kris Kross who owns a Red Light company called EMR-tek. We talk about what red light therapy is, why we need it for your health, how blue light harms us as well as some practical steps you can take to swap your light. If you want to learn how to turbo charge your cells and reduce harm from excess blue light definitely give this episode a listen.
Blue light also causes you to use up your glutathione reserves, so you end up leaking energy and wasting your glutathione. If we could just swap out our light we can give ourselves a better fighting chance.
It's all about Harm Reduction
Blue light is toxic to you the worst part is oxidative stress and free radical damage. You can turbo charge your ATP with red light (the correct spectrum of light for human health).
The #1 thing you can start to do today to help with harm reduction is swap your light (at home and in your work environment to the degree it’s possible).
Here is a star...
And why is it sucking away my joy? It won't once you learn more about YOUR own histamine symptoms and how to support your body in light of them. In this episode, I'm dishing out a super quick high level overview on histamine intolerance. What it is, what the symptoms are and what some of the root issues are.
This way you can take a more holistic approach to support your health as well as recover. Instead of just taking a 'bandaid' approach, like OTC meds which never get to the root cause of your symptoms. News flash; there are no quick fixes so stop looking for them. Learn to embrace the learning curve so you can get ot the root and save yourself a lot of future time spent being 'ill' or having to constantly find 'work arounds'Â for your health flare ups. There is so much joy waiting to be experienced when you have a fully alive body.
