    Ep. 30 - Breaking Up with Postpartum Anxiety

    Please note: This episode was originally published in October 2023. I switched podcast hosting platforms and had to re-upload past episodes, so some links, resources, or offers mentioned in this episode may no longer be active or available. Today we are talking all about postpartum anxiety with Dr. Jenna, who, as a mom of 3, understands the whirlwind that is postpartum and motherhood. With every pregnancy, not only is a baby born, but a mother is too. This time called Matrescence (the process of becoming a mother) is a time of massive physical, mental and spiritual change. Despite how the current care of mothers is set up, healing does not end at 6 weeks postpartum. The mother needs just as much care as the baby (if not more) during those initial months. This is exactly where Dr. Jenna’s passion lies: helping women recover and thrive during such an overwhelming time of life. Postpartum depression and anxiety can occur beyond the first six weeks after giving birth, often peaking at around 6 to 9 months. Recognize this and remember these feelings don’t reflect your abilities as a mother. Instead, this is influenced by hormonal changes, increased stress levels, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar dysregulation, the demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding on the body, and the lack of support for new moms. None of this reflects a mother’s ability to cope; it’s a physiological response that proper support can address. Which is exactly what we cover in today’s episode!

    Ep. 25 - Alcohol, Anxiety & Living a Substance-Free Life

    Please note: This episode was originally published in August 2023. I switched podcast hosting platforms and had to re-upload past episodes, so some links, resources, or offers mentioned in this episode may no longer be active or available. It’s been 130 days since I decided to remove alcohol from my life. I had been thinking about it for a while, and although I no longer have a “problem” with it, it wasn’t serving me physically, mentally or spiritually. I actually felt like it was holding me back from all that I could do and be. I also grew up watching somebody I love very much struggle with alcohol, and because of that, a part of me always knew I didn’t want alcohol in my life, even just casually. If you’re starting to evaluate your relationship with alcohol or there’s someone in your life that you would like to learn more about how you could support them, this episode is for you! Today, I am joined by my amazing colleague Dr. Arianna, a trauma-informed functional health consultant with a specialization in depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, who shares her inspiring journey of substance abuse and recovery. Arianna and I talk about our personal experiences with substance abuse, the impact of alcohol on gut and mental health, our thoughts on moderate alcohol consumption, overcoming fear of judgment, the hard decisions we have had to make to heal, trusting yourself, letting go of regret, the philosophy behind intuitive sobriety, microdosing, emotional regulation strategies to process and move past any lingering hurt or trauma, practical tools and suggestions for leading a healthier, substance-free life, and so much more! Warning: This episode discusses topics surrounding suicide, substance abuse, drugsand alcohol.

    Ep. 24 - Overcoming Anxiety & Trauma with Plant Medicine

    Please note: This episode was originally published in August 2023. I switched podcast hosting platforms and had to re-upload past episodes, so some links, resources, or offers mentioned in this episode may no longer be active or available. Lauren spent almost her whole life in denial that she had anxiety. She was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 26 years old, and this diagnosis became the catalyst for change in the rest of her life. She turned her pain into purpose, transitioning from a career in finance to becoming a holistic nutritionist and a master mindset coach with a specialization in breast cancer. As Lauren embarked on her personal healing journey, addressing both physical and mental health, she found herself drawn to plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca, which became instrumental in overcoming her own mental health struggles. Today, she leads women’s mushroom retreats and is a certified plant medicine integration coach. In this episode, Lauren and I chat about her realization of living with anxiety for years, her journey of recovering from breast cancer, the profound impact of ayahuasca and plant medicine, recognizing and shifting unconscious patterns, the concept of our bodies keeping score, somatic work, the power of therapy, dissociation, mindfulness practices, listening to our bodies, building a solid foundation for change, and the importance of supporting the physical body when dealing with an anxiety disorder. We also discuss the importance of emotional and mental support in the healing process.
