  1. Heal Bloating Through the Mind-Gut Connection

    Heal Bloating Through the Mind-Gut Connection

    GI disorders affect more than 40% of people globally, yet many people struggling with bloating or IBS are still searching for answers that actually address the root cause. In this week's episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I visit with gut health coach Heather Van Tassel of Neurofit Nutrition to explore the powerful connection between the mind and the gut, and why healing bloating requires more than simply changing what you eat. Together, we unpack how stress, nervous system dysregulation, and gut imbalance work together to create symptoms many people believe are “normal.” We also explore practical ways to calm the nervous system, support digestion, and reconnect with the body’s natural healing intelligence. If you’ve ever struggled with digestive discomfort, unexplained bloating, brain fog, or anxiety around food, this conversation offers a thoughtful and hopeful place to begin understanding what your body may be trying to tell you. Guest Bio Heather Van Tassel is a gut health coach helping women heal IBS holistically after her own gut health journey. With a background in biochemistry and neuroscience, she focuses on supporting both nutrition and nervous system health to restore the body’s natural balance. She believes that the body is intelligent and capable of healing when given the right support. Her work helps women address the root causes of gut issues so they can reclaim their health and live with greater energy and freedom. Hey! Want to get in touch with Heather?

    Your Moment, Your Move: Shift How You Show Up to Own What Matters

    There is a moment between stimulus and response, and inside that moment is your choice point. In this week's episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Michael Loftin, Founder of Choice Point Protocol and creator of the ALPS system, to explore how recognizing your “choice point” can shift how you show up in the moments that matter most. Rather than trying to change your whole life at once, this conversation offers a more practical and powerful insight: transformation begins in a single moment. The space between what happens to you and how you respond holds more agency than most people realize. If you’ve ever wished you had handled a moment differently,  this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a practical way forward. Guest Bio Michael Loftin is the Founder of Choice Point Protocol and creator of the ALPS system. He teaches people how to change their lives by mastering the moments of their day that matter.

  5. Entering Your Next Chapter (Without Losing Yourself to Pressure and Expectations)

    FEB 9

    Entering Your Next Chapter (Without Losing Yourself to Pressure and Expectations)

    In life, we enter countless new chapters — and almost every new beginning comes with expectations that aren’t fully your own. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Growth Coach Christa B. Downey to explore how to stay connected to yourself as you move into what comes next - without letting pressure take the reins. Whether you’re stepping into college, taking a new job, pivoting careers, or becoming a founder/CEO… pressure can come from every direction: family, friends, colleagues, mentors, finances, and the fear of being judged. In this episode, you’ll hear:      -Why pressure is real — and why pretending it isn’t doesn’t help      -How expectations can quietly pull you out of alignment (even when people       “mean well”)       -The role of clarity, boundaries, and freedom in choosing your next chapter      -A powerful reframe for navigating loved ones’ pressure: “I love you, and I’m       afraid.” The small action question that can shift everything: What happens if you don’t pursue it? Guest Bio Christa B. Downey is a growth coach and owner of Christa B. Downey Coaching & Consulting. She partners with purpose-driven, high-achieving people entering new, often unfamiliar spaces — and helps them thrive once they arrive.  Want to get in touch with Christa?
