One of my biggest missions this past year has been to find a local like-minded community. I believe that community is a key pillar for our collective health. In these times we have lost the ways of the tribe that our ancestors long ago would have benefitted greatly from. 

In January of this year, I attended an Activation Watch Party to host the Greater Reset Virtual event held by the Freedom Cell movement. It was in Pottstown Pennsylvania and several of my local health and freedom collaborative friends attended as well. 

I met some amazing folks at that event, Jeff being one of them. Jeff and I hit it off right away with some potent convos. We found out each other hosted podcasts and I began to listen to his - the Go-Auf podcast. I was quite impressed. 

Recently we attended a weekend retreat with many others in this growing movement in this corner of our state. It was a powerful weekend and amazing experience. So Jeff and I chatted about that on this episode we recorded...

As you know I believe minerals run the show of the human body, even the microbes in your gut rely on mineral balance. Minerals & Microbes are foundational elements every one of us needs to thrive. In this episode I want to hone in on one aspect of gut health that I see as a key anyone can focus on improving to also benefit their whole health. 

Listen to episode #118 : Talking Microbes -The Impacts of low butyrate function - Find: A Joy To Be Me - On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

When the gut microbiome is running low in its keystone species this impacts systemic functionality as well. 



For example; one function I see low on all of my clients BiomeFX stool sample results is low butyrate function. It’s one of many BUT here’s why even this one function alone in the low range can impact many things. 

What is butyrate? 

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that provides fuel for the...

In this episode, I'm chatting with Christa Bevan, host of the Radical Mother Village podcast.   After multiple encounters with burnout, I knew  there had to be more and needed to find a way to start living the vibrant life I knew was possible.  Through nutritional therapy, mineral balancing, emotional freedom and transformation coaching, I began to create a life I loved and my health turned around completely.

In this episode, I tackle the subject of medical gaslighting. It needs to be spoken about and seen for what it is so we can take our power back.

Listen to episode #117 : Medical Gaslighting - Find: A Joy To Be Me - On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

This is a little bit of a heavy topic BUT a necessary one to tackle so we can break free and move towards freedom of choice out of a very corrupt and broken system.

As with common gaslighting, it causes the individual to doubt their own experiences. Medical gaslighting occurs far too often

Medical gaslighting is a real thing. It can be terrifying or traumatic  to be dismissed or told you are fine when you feel like your body and mind are falling apart.

Tune in to shine the light on this so you can address it head on and avoid it altogether.

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...

In this episode, I shared a message of clarity surrounding this new season we are shifting into. If you are struggling right now with ruminating thoughts around life's challenges and wanting to see a change this episode could bring you some much needed support and clarity. 

Listen to episode #114 : Rebirth, renewal and restoration - Find: A Joy To Be Me ; On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify 

I am leaning and learning to be at peace with myself and my present lesson of patience and self-acceptance.  The Universe has a way of providing teachable moments. The lessons may appear in the form of what seem like recurring setbacks that repeat themselves over and over until you absorb what you need to change about your mindset.

To be patient and resilient.

The last 2 days the word resilient has been hanging out with me big time. We are heading into a season of rebirth, renewal and restoration....

In this episode, I'm going back to one of the fundamentals of mineral balancing for overall health and covering MAGNESIUM.

Listen to episode #113 : Assessing Magnesium Deficiency - Find: A Joy To Be Me - ON: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify 

I've talked about it many times on the podcast in the past but I'm always having the same conversation over and over with new people coming in. So I figured it was time to revisit an approach to magnesium, so more people can be more thorough in their approach with a better comprehension. PLUS, I share a 31 question assessment to help you gauge where you are at on the magnesium deficiency scale. Be ready to jot your answers down. 

I also shared how to approach getting adequate magnesium with a LOT of caveats -you are gonna want to tune and hear.

Your biology is changed by your own energy. 
Your energy is what affects matter. 
When you change your energy you change your body. 

Joe Dispenza talks about this in his work; his books, videos and meditations. So does Bruce Lipton. 

Listen to episode #111: You are the placebo : On - iTunes, iHeartRadio, Buzzsprout, Stitcher, Spotify or anywhere you tune into podcasts. 

Between one-third and two-thirds of all healing is down to the placebo effect, not therapies, drugs, injections, shots or surgery. The placebo is just a sugar-pill where someone is healed by the belief they’ll get better: positive thinking.

Now the nocebo effect is equally powerful, caused by negative thoughts. The belief you have a terminal illness can actually cause you to die, and negative thinking is much more common collectively in society today.

You are either the placebo or the nocebo.

Listen to Episode #110: Stop using toxic products, you deserve better: Find: A Joy To Be Me; On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify

I live in a body that feels like it’s being assaulted when encountering toxins.

Particularly those with toxic scents.

When I enter any new enclosed space my radar is always up.

Will there be toxic air fresheners?
Will the bedding be covered in toxic fragrance?
Will the trash be lined with ‘scented’ bags?
Will there be perfume scented candles burning or incense?
Will the floor have been mopped with chemicals?
Will there be natural soaps available to use or scented toxic ones? 
Will the dishwasher have used non toxic detergent so there are no chemicals on the dishes I use to eat or drink from?
Will there be cat dander or litter and if so, how long will I have to be in a closed space with those things -will they affect me? Can I open the windows or will it be warm enough...
