    Your Permission Slip to Be More You: Human Design + Living Your Purpose with Alexandra Cole

    In this episode, I sit down with Alexandra Cole, Human Design coach and guide, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to live your purpose, not by becoming someone new, but by remembering who you already are. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing, pushing, or trying to fit into a version of success that doesn’t feel natural, this conversation is your permission slip to soften, realign, and be more you. We explore how Human Design can help you understand your energetic blueprint, build deeper self-trust, and create a life and business that feels aligned instead of forced. This episode is about coming home to yourself and living in alignment with your design. What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhat Human Design actually isHow to use Human Design as a tool for self-trust and clarityThe difference between conditioning and your true energetic blueprintWhy so many people feel stuck when they’re living out of alignment with their design and purposeHow to make aligned decisions based on your authorityLiving your purpose without hustle or self-abandonmentReleasing comparison and embracing your unique rhythmWhy being “more you” is the true path to impact and magnetism More than anything, this episode is a reminder: You don’t need to become someone else to live your purpose. You need to return to yourself.

    The Vibration of You: Sovereignty, Somatics, + Authentic Expression with Rachael Blumberg

    In this episode, I sit down with Rachael Blumberg, founder of PLATEFIT, embodiment guide, and community builder, for a deeply grounding conversation on sovereignty, somatics, and authentic expression. Rachael shares her journey of following an inner pull that didn’t always make sense, from leaving a traditional career path, to building a movement-based community rooted in vibration and nervous system regulation, to navigating collapse, rebirth, and reclamation of self. This conversation is about what happens when you stop performing, start listening to your body, and allow your truth to lead. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, leaking energy, or living according to expectations that no longer fit, this episode is an invitation to return to the vibration of you, the version of you that feels grounded, expressed, and sovereign. We talk about: • What sovereignty really means and how to stop leaking your energy• Somatic awareness and why the body knows before the mind• Nervous system regulation as the foundation of alignment and magnetism• Vibration, embodiment, and presence as pathways to healing• Authentic expression and releasing old identities• The power of the pause, and why clarity often comes when we stop forcing• Community as a mirror and amplifier of truth• Following your inner pull even when it doesn’t make logical sense• Rebuilding life and business from self-trust, not fear• Living, leading, and creating from alignment This episode is a reminder that alignment isn’t something you chase, it’s something you remember. When you come home to yourself, everything else reorganizes around you.

    Why Joy Is a Success Tool (Not a Bonus): Nourishing Your Life from the Inside Out with DJ Blatner

    In this episode, I sit down with DJ Blatner, registered dietitian, author, media nutrition expert, and one of the most radiant humans I know, for a powerful conversation about why joy is not a bonus you earn after success, but a tool that actually creates it. If you’ve been doing all the “right” things, working hard, checking the boxes, chasing goals, but still feel depleted or disconnected, this conversation is your permission slip to pause and reorient. DJ shares the moment she realized her life looked incredibly successful on the outside, yet felt empty on the inside, and how that wake-up call led her to redefine nourishment, presence, and success itself. We explore why joy is a nutrient, how fun fuels creativity and opportunity, and why small moments of aliveness matter more than we’ve been taught. This is a grounded, refreshing, soul-meets-real-life episode about slowing down, noticing the glimmers, and nourishing your life from the inside out. We talk about: • Why joy is a success tool, not a reward• How presence amplifies creativity and opportunity• DJ’s “Joy Hustle” and the power of noticing small glimmers• Why fun isn’t fluff, it’s essential for sustainable success• Single-tasking vs. multitasking and nervous system nourishment• How to rethink nourishment starting with desire, not discipline• The cost of hustle when it disconnects us from what we love• Why doing less can actually create more alignment and momentum• How joy supports health, energy, and resilience over time Living well isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about feeling more alive while you do it. When joy leads, everything else begins to work better.

    In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Harris—founder, intuitive guide, and host of the Expander’s Club Podcast—for a powerful conversation on the energetic forecast for 2026 and how intuition, alignment, and identity shifts will shape our lives and businesses in the year ahead. If you’ve been feeling a pull toward expansion, reinvention, or a deeper trust in your inner wisdom, this conversation is your permission slip to lean in.

We talk about:The energetic themes of 2026 and what they mean for life, love, and businessWhy intuition is the most underrated business and life strategyAlignment vs. hustle: how to move into expansion without burnoutIdentity shifts and why quantum leaps require becoming someone newThe nervous system’s role in manifestation, success, and magnetismHow to read signs, synchronicities, and intuitive hits with discernmentPractical ways to integrate intuition into daily decision-makingWhy “remembering your magic” is the foundation of aligned successHow to create space for aligned opportunities to find youBrooke’s perspective on blending spirituality, strategy, and leadership2026 is not about forcing expansion—it’s about becoming the version of you who can receive it.

    It’s Not About the Food: Why Diets Fail Us and What Actually Works with Dietician Kim Shapira

    In this episode, I sit down with Kim Shapira, dietitian, author, and nutrition therapist, to unpack what most people get wrong about “healthy eating.” If you’ve ever felt like food has become confusing, moralized, or loaded, this conversation is your permission slip to simplify. Kim shares why it’s never really about the food, how stress changes the way we digest and crave, and the small practices that rebuild self-trust when your relationship with eating (and your body) has felt fractured for years. This is a nourishing, real-talk episode about coming home to yourself, one meal at a time. We talk about:How Kim’s childhood illness shaped her path into health + nutritionThe surprising link between shopping, numbing, and emotional eatingWhy dieting can be harmful physically, emotionally, and spirituallyWhat people are actually hungry for underneath restriction + control“Vacation mode eating”: why food feels different when your nervous system is relaxedThe simplest pre-meal resetKim’s 6 rules (and why rules aren’t the enemy when they build trust)The difference between hunger vs cravings (and how to tell in your body)GLP-1s: what they help, what they don’t, and why relationship with food still mattersHow to rebuild trust with your body through tiny experiments + evidenceWhy “eat without distractions” is the rule most people need right now Food isn’t the problem, the disconnection is.

    Why You’re Still Stuck (Even After Years of Self-Work) with Somatic Therapist Megan Sherer

    I’m joined by Megan Sherer, somatic therapist, author of Choose Yourself, and nervous-system–informed guide, for a powerful conversation about why so many women still feel stuck, even after years of therapy, healing, and personal development. This episode gently names something many of us feel but rarely say out loud: doing all the self-work doesn’t always lead to feeling more alive, embodied, or free. Megan and I explore why that happens and how somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and embodied self-trust offer a different path forward. If you’ve ever thought “I’ve done the work… so why doesn’t my life feel better?” - this conversation will land deeply. What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy talk therapy and mindset work alone often aren’t enoughThe hidden cost of over-regulating, over-performing, and “doing healing right”How emotional numbness forms — and how aliveness returnsWhat somatic therapy actually is (and what it’s not)The difference between safety, shutdown, and true embodimentWhy slowing down can feel threatening and why it’s often the medicineRebuilding self-trust after years of people-pleasing and self-abandonmentHow emotions live in the body (and why they need movement, not management)Simple ways to reconnect with your body without overwhelm or perfectionThis Episode Is For You If…You’ve done years of self-work but still feel stuck or disconnectedYou feel emotionally numb, chronically tense, or overwhelmedYou struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-abandonmentYou want to feel safer, more grounded, and more youYou’re ready to move from coping → embodying → livingWays to Be SupportedConnect with Megan: https://megansherer.comFollow Megan on Instagram: @meganshererFollow us on Instagram: @weshinewellJoin our Substack community for deeper reflections, guided prompts, and community conversationsWays to Support the ShowFollow or subscribe wherever you listenRate + review to help more women find this spaceShare this episode with a friend who’s done “all the work” and still feels stuck Thank you for being here.

    I’m joined by Dr. Sasha Hakman — double board-certified OBGYN and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI) specialist and host of Trying to Conceive with Dr. Sasha Hakman — for an empowering, myth-busting conversation on fertility, hormones, and what it actually takes to support reproductive health.
