In this episode, I explore the complex development of chronic health issues and the need for a unique healing approach. Drawing from my personal journey through chronic illness, I emphasize the importance of fostering a safe environment for our immune systems to thrive.

I unpack the relationship between burnout—often labeled as adrenal fatigue—and the concept of "cell danger," shedding light on why many healing methods may fall short. I delve into how modern society's relentless focus on productivity contributes to a damaging sense of inadequacy and emotional debt, making it challenging for individuals with chronic health issues to prioritize healing.

As we examine the effects of toxins and nutrient deprivation on our cells, I advocate for a holistic perspective that recognizes the interconnectedness of our experiences. By understanding the "cell danger respo...

Episode #197: Let's talk about nettles & perimenopause

In this episode I'm still savoring the spring by highlighting one of my favorite wild greens, nettles. I share more about it and what it helps with particularly as a women's hormones ally. Then I opened up a conversation about perimenopause from my own personal perspective then with my practitioner hat on too. I would love to hear from you once you listen as to any take-aways you may have had.

Last year marked a significant milestone for me: I successfully harvested all my own nettles from the wild for personal use, sharing some with friends along the way. It was a goal I had set for myself, and I’m grateful to nature for her abundant nourishment. During my last harvest, I found myself singing to the nettle patch, and I've realized how important it is to connect with the plants we gather from the earth.

I’d like to share my song with you:

**Amazing Nettles**

Amazing nettles, how sw...

In this podcast episode, I explore the critical yet often overlooked topic of adrenal health and how our disconnection from nature may be contributing to a collective adrenal burnout epidemic.

The Adrenal Conversation That Started It All

While driving my teenage sons to work during a particularly blustery March day, I attempted to engage them with a meme I created featuring Gordon Ramsay shouting "NEEDS MORE SALT!" The caption explained how salt cravings can signal struggling adrenal glands and insufficient electrolytes.

When my 17-year-old admitted he didn't even know what adrenal glands were, I was momentarily horrified by what felt like a parental oversight. This led to an impromptu health lesson about these vital stress-regul...

In this episode I get into BODY VOLTAGE -what the heck that even is and why it matters. 

Healing is voltage my friends - grateful to my friend for sharing Jerry Tenant’s work with me years ago it’s been something I’ve been working on with vigilance to implement in my own life as well as to understand and even start to get others excited about too.

Without electrons, without current, without voltage we are dead so the more charged up the fuller of life we are.

So, I took a poll recently and asked what podcast episode you wanted me to do the most next and the majority of you voted for BRAIN FOG. 

Listen to episode # 115 : Let's talk about brain fog - Find: A Joy To Be Me - On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

Now here’s the thing -this episode isn't short : which may seem cruel to do to someone who is dealing with brain fog. So please listen when you have a clearer mind and fully hydrate first! 

Brain Fog is one of the most common symptoms I hear about / it’s not recognized medically - because honestly I don’t think they know what to do about it because it’s roots are many and vary from person to person (and we know the medical is very limited when it comes to doing the deeper digging *snark*). It’s also not easy to medically test for and it’s quite subjective.

Brain fog may be described as feelings of mental confusion or lack of mental clarity.  It is called brain fog becau...

In today's post, I wanted to share something that came up for me in my journaling recently. I was listening to a podcast by Rainer Wylde; I can't recall which one.

Listen to this on the podcast; Episode #112 - Detoxing your conditioning: show the mess! Find: A Joy To Be Me On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

However, It nudged me to recall a part of my past as he stated; " I am not a proponent for staying at all costs. You have to have 2 people fully committed to growth." When talking about relationships/partnerships/marriage. 

He also encouraged people to 'show the mess'. The truth is that message had already been coming through over and over and over.

At first, I was like; "I thought I already was showing the mess? I'm pretty open already."

Then it hit me; there is more I can share that I haven't yet shared and in so doing, perhaps it will liberate others. I know when I hear others have struggles that I think are unique to only me, it gives me a bit of alleviation. Not because ...

I had a couple clients bring this up this week: anything in 3s I know I need to do a podcast -so here it is. 

Listen to Episode #108: When your blood pressure is low, so are you: Find: A Joy To Be Me; On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

First person was someone who has been burning the candle at both ends since forever and just started back up training for the most intense race of her life. She was puzzled by why she couldn’t do it like she could before one day when she had shortness of breath and dizziness. I asked her to get her blood  pressure checked ASAP because off hand she did not know what it was or the last time it was checked. 

Here’s why it’s an important marker for health, especially when it’s low NAMELY because we never hear anything about what to do if it’s low or what it means if it’s low but rather are just ushered along; after hearing ‘your BP is nice and low’ 

They don’t have a medication for that (yet) so it’s clearly nothing to be concerned about…

It's not helpf...

Navigating food intolerances/sensitivities is something I have gone through myself and it’s something I have to explore with many clients as well. There can be a lot of moving parts to this food ‘allergy’ equation. It’s not as simple as ONLY avoiding or removing because then you never uncover what led to this and what can lead you back towards freedom.

That shared, in episode #106, I share some thoughts and a reframe for you as well as some considerations to start with before going straight to eliminating foods. 

Listen to Episode #106: Talking about food sensitivities & why elimination doesn't heal you: Find: A Joy To Be Me; On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

It is important to honor our bodies where they are at when they signal a NO around a food. BUT it’s equally, if not more so, important to live in a FREE body. A body that doesn’t have to view real food as a threat. That is not a joyful way to have to live.

I’ve seen some pretty amazing things happen around recovering fo...

Over the past year, I’ve been upping my preparedness game to have a good store of ‘medicines’, along with foods, to support my family's health. I may talk about preparedness in an upcoming episode if y’all are interested do let me know.

In this episode, I talk about ONE of my faves for your family’s holistic medicine cabinet; Milk Thistle.

Herbalists and physicians alike used the milk thistle for hundreds of years to treat a wide range of liver pathology, including fatty liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and to protect the liver from environmental toxins. In this episode I dive into what it can do to support the body and how it can be used. .

Here is one great study I found - if you want to do more of your own research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK541075/

In this episode, I talk about what I'm calling your inner "stress barometer" which notifies you when your mind and body are under too much strain. 

Listen to Episode #89: Your Inner Stress Barometer 
On iTunes [ HERE ] or  Spotify [ HERE ]

When you become aware of your inner stress barometer-  it can help notify you when you need to give your body more of what it needs.  In order to restore your equilibrium you have to find the right balance in your life in order to restore harmony.

Does your body "act up" when you are stressed?

Do you get strange sensations that make you worry you might have something seriously wrong with you?

Do you listen to your inner needs when you are spread too thin, or do you "power" through it, depleting yourself further?

There's a line in the Lord of Rings in which Bilbo tells Gandalf that “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” 

If you can relate to that ^ be sure to tune in for a loving, yet firm, reminder of why this is not s...
