What comes to mind when you think of psychoanalysis? While you may be familiar with traditional talk therapy, today's episode delves into the deeper, often misunderstood world of psychoanalysis.
Joining me today is Dr. Mariela Shibley, a seasoned psychologist and psychoanalyst based in San Diego. Dr. Shibley will explain what psychoanalysis really is and how it differs from traditional talk therapy.

When you were first prescribed the pill, how much information were you given about it? If you are like most of us, I’m going to say not a lot. That’s why I am excited to be joined by Maddie Ginder Scannapieco to discuss the truth about birth control. 
Maddie Scannapieco is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner specializing in women's gut and hormone health. She helps women get to the root cause of and heal frustrating symptoms like acne, PMS, IBS, thyroid conditions, infertility struggles and more by understanding the "why" and restoring function in the body to get back to optimal health.
We are answering all the questions you might have, including what is birth control. What is it prescribed for, and does it actually fix those problems? What are some misconceptions about birth control? How can we transition off safely? Also, we are going to learn more about your cycles, so you can feel confident not needing birth control. And so much more! 
Join us for a conversation that is long overdue. Whether you're considering discontinuing the pill or just want to educate yourself on your cycle, this episode is for you.

Do you find yourself wondering, ‘What is wrong with me’ after every failed diet attempt? If you want to peel back the layers and find out why you just can’t seem to stick to a diet, then this is the episode for you!
I am joined by Gina Worful, the founder of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute. While she’s a classically trained registered dietitian, her work is far from conventional. Gina’s frustration with the diet industry’s notoriously poor success rate drove her to dive deeper into human behavior to understand why we sometimes resist or sabotage diets.
We’ll cover how to get off this dieting roller coaster that you may be stuck on, overcoming self-sabotage blocks and resistance to health. We’ll also explore food cravings, how to come to peace with your food, and how to use the power of mindfulness to transform health from the inside out.
So if you are ready for a different approach to the dieting world, then tune in and learn how to leverage mindfulness to transform your health from the inside out.

Are you stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting? Are you ready for an approach that will fuel your body and make you feel your best? In this episode, I am joined by double-certified nutrition coach Dani Marenburg to explore macronutrients and their phases. 
Dani specializes in optimizing macronutrients and lifestyle habits and is passionate about helping other women reach their ultimate body transformation goals, all while enjoying a life well lived through following a macro-focused diet. Dani was a past yo-yo dieter, cardio junkie who transformed her body and entire life by ditching past diet culture mentalities and learning how to eat for her body.
We’re chatting all things protein and answering the question of how much of it you should be having. We also dive into rebuilding your metabolism if you've been chronically undereating for years and are unable to lose weight. Plus, we’ll explore calorie counting versus the macro approach and its four phases.  
Tune in to discover how tracking macronutrients might just be the key to breaking free from restrictive eating and fostering a nourishing relationship with food.
