    Divine Intuition and Purpose

    When You Listen Within: Trusting Your Body to Lead You to What You Need Nineteen years ago, Michelle Gilbert suffered severe burns to her face, ears, and chest. Doctors told her she would never fully heal, and despite trying countless products, she couldn’t find anything that relieved her pain or truly helped her skin recover. Then, in a moment of inspiration, she felt prompted to try something simple: olive oil. What happened next changed the course of her life. The relief she experienced led Michelle on a journey of researching natural oils, studying their healing properties, and following the intuitive nudges that continued to guide her. Those discoveries eventually led to remedies that completely transformed her skin—and unexpectedly became the foundation for her own natural skincare company, creating products to support acne, burns, and many other skin concerns. But Michelle’s greatest discovery wasn’t just about skincare. It was learning to listen to her own body and trust the wisdom within her. In this beautiful conversation, Michelle and I talk about what it means to slow down, tune in, and recognize the quiet guidance that can lead us toward exactly what we need in each unique moment. Her story is a powerful reminder that we are not powerless in our healing or in creating the life we desire. There is wisdom within us, and when we learn to listen, trust, and follow it, we can be led toward healing, purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Sometimes the answer isn’t outside of us. Sometimes, we simply need to become quiet enough to hear what is already within.Michelle is a trained Master Herbalist, Iridologist, Essential Oil Specialist, Health Coach, and Speaker.

    Fill Your Cup First

    In this episode, we’re talking about the importance of nourishing yourself—mind, body, and soul—so you can show up more fully in your life and for the people you love.Learning about healing at the root lit Kelli up! It led her to showing up for herself and attending to her needs. She knew she was called to share this life-changing support with others. She had no idea that her support and expertise would change lives. And that helping others would change hers.  As women, it can be easy to give everything we have to our families, careers, responsibilities, and everyone around us while leaving ourselves with whatever is left over. But when we continually pour from an empty cup, we eventually have less of ourselves to give. We’ll talk about what it looks like to honor your own needs, keep the promises you make to yourself, and create space for inspiration, peace, and connection. We’ll also explore letting go of guilt and perfectionism and embracing the beautiful truth that every moment gives us another opportunity to choose again. You don’t have to get it perfect. You simply have to keep choosing yourself, one small step at a time. An when you do you will find you have capacity to show up for others. This life is about getting what you need and giving what others need.  When you nourish yourself first, you don’t have less to give—you have more of your true light to share with the world.Connect with Kelli Proctor on instagram @Mindfullyfit_trainer

    Root Healing Through Self Love

    What if your body wasn’t betraying you… but trying to save you? In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Christy Jex Gerlach to share her remarkable journey through a life-altering health crisis. From the outside, she appeared to have it all—a thriving career, a loving marriage, incredible children, and the dream home she had worked so hard to build. After years of pouring herself into her family, her career, and everyone around her, she believed she was living the life she had always wanted. Then her health began to unravel. What initially felt like her body failing her became an invitation to discover something much deeper: she had been abandoning herself on the deepest level for years. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about how her health crisis became the catalyst for profound healing. She shares how she learned to love herself, set healthy boundaries, reconnect with her authentic self, and create a life rooted in peace, hope, calm, and personal power. If you’ve ever found yourself constantly caring for everyone else while quietly losing yourself, this conversation will remind you that healing isn’t just about restoring your health—it’s about coming home to yourself. Christy teaches a powerful principle- choosing to live with curiosity and compassion for yourself. A life-changing perspective that supports your truest and deepest needs.  🎧 Tune in for a story that will inspire you to listen to your body, honor your needs, and believe that it’s never too late to create a life rooted in your authentic self.Connect with Christy Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/radiantpeacecollective?utm_source=qr Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/17fxb1zDRA/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Healing Generational Trauma

    In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Hartle — life coach, neurofeedback practitioner, and speaker specializing in trauma-informed healing and nervous system regulation. Together, we have an honest and empowering conversation about uncovering healing generational patterns, buried trauma, recognizing the pain that continues to show up in our lives, and learning how to truly attend to our own needs instead of constantly abandoning ourselves. We discuss the importance of boundaries, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and the courage it takes to finally show up for yourself in a deeper way. We also dive into the surprising gifts that can come during perimenopause — including getting a little more “sassy.” Lisa shares how this season of life can actually help women stop suppressing their needs, speak up for themselves, and develop the strength to create healthier relationships and stronger self-respect. This episode is full of wisdom, validation, healing, and encouragement for women navigating emotional healing, personal growth, relationship patterns, and the transitions of midlife. Lisa brings decades of experience helping individuals navigate betrayal, transition, recovery, and transformation with compassion, accountability, and practical tools for healing.Purchase her book,  I Was Never Broken, A Chainbreakers Guide to Healing Unhealthy Generational Patterns https://a.co/d/0axuyloH Follow Lisa on Instagram: Lisa Hartle Coachingand connect with her at https://neurofeedbackofsouthernutah.com/

    Why You’ve Tried Everything… But Still Don’t Feel Better

    In this episode, we explore why so many women feel like they’ve tried everything to improve their health—yet still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, mood swings, inflammation, and feeling disconnected from themselves. We dive into how chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system can keep the body stuck in survival mode, especially during perimenopause and menopause. You’ll learn why healing isn’t always about doing more, but often about slowing down, listening inward, and creating safety within the body.Plus, I’ll share a simple 3-step daily practice to help support nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and reconnecting with yourself again so you can finally get the results you are looking for.

    Your Body Is Not Working Against You: Understanding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hormone Healing

    In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (recently referred to as Polycystic Metabolic Syndrome), hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, stress, and the deeper emotional side of feeling disconnected from your body. I share why symptoms like fatigue, cravings, weight gain, acne, irregular cycles, and anxiety are often signals from the body — not personal failures. We talk about blood sugar balance, nervous system support, inflammation, movement, sleep, and learning how to work with the body instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a reminder that healing is not about punishment or perfection, but about nourishment, consistency, and reconnecting with yourself in a more compassionate way.

    What If You Are Just Recalibrating?

    Sometimes growth feels less like becoming… and more like losing your footing in a life that no longer fits the old version of you. Midlife has a way of making you question yourself—but what if you’re not lost… you’re just recalibrating? I had a moment recently where I felt disconnected from my own wisdom. Turns out, I’m just learning how to apply it in a new, upgraded version of my life. It takes practice. It takes patience. And it’s worth it. You’re not starting over—you’re rising into something new. 🤍 Carl Fung said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are… and it’s never too late to begin.”
