    #458 Energy Leaks, Building Capacity & Martyrdom with Helen Eimers

    Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m joined by Helen Eimers for a conversation about the hidden beliefs, energy leaks, and patterns that may be keeping us stuck. We explore why so many high-achieving women find themselves exhausted despite doing all the “right” things, how self-sabotage often stems from parts of ourselves that simply want to be seen, and why healing isn’t about fixing or erasing our wounds. Helen shares her perspective on building capacity from the inside out, the role of self-compassion in lasting change, and how gratitude, curiosity, and learning to receive support can help us create more energy, fulfillment, and freedom in our lives.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: ✨ Stop fighting yourself and start getting curious ✨ Hidden beliefs may be draining more energy than you realize ✨ You can't think your way through everything—you have to feel it too ✨ Martyrdom, burnout, and people-pleasing often go hand in hand ✨ Receiving support is just as important as giving it ✨ Lasting change happens when you build capacity from the inside out ABOUT GUEST: Helen Eimers is a Success Coach, certified conscious heart hypnotherapist, speaker, and author who helps ambitious women overcome self-doubt, burnout, and inner resistance so they can create sustainable success and fulfillment.

    #457 Anxiety, Panic, Complex Trauma, Ayurveda & a functional perspective with Dr. Nicole Cain

    Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m joined by Dr. Nicole Cain for a conversation about anxiety, panic, stress, and what our symptoms might be trying to tell us. We talk about the difference between fear, anxiety, and panic, why anxiety may be more of a signal than a problem, and how chronic stress can quietly build beneath the surface long before we recognize it. Dr. Nicole shares her perspective on complex trauma, nervous system regulation, and the ways modern life constantly pulls us into reactivity without us even realizing it. We also explore why awareness is often the first step toward healing, how nature can help bring us back into balance, and why anxiety isn’t necessarily something you have to live with forever. Check out Dr. Nicole's Free Gifts here: https://drnicolecain.com/free-gifts/ KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Anxiety may be a signal rather than the problem itself  Panic often builds long before it feels like it comes out of nowhere  Chronic stress can become invisible when it feels normal  Complex trauma develops through repeated experiences over time  Nature and nervous system regulation can support healingABOUT GUEST: Dr. Nicole Cain is a naturopathic physician, EMDR-trained clinician, author, and expert in trauma-informed mental health care, holistic anxiety treatment, and panic recovery. Holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, she combines evidence-based psychology with integrative and functional medicine to help people address the root causes of anxiety and chronic stress. She is the author of Panic Proof (Rodale, 2024) and host of the Holistic Inner Balance: Natural Mental Health Podcast, where she shares research-backed strategies for emotional well-being.

    #456 Thriving with Autoimmunity with Michele Spring, CHC

    Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m joined by Michele Spring for a conversation about Hashimoto’s, autoimmune healing, and the often-overlooked role stress plays in chronic illness. We talk about why food can be a powerful tool for uncovering inflammation, how restrictive diets are meant to be temporary, and what happens when symptoms return after you've already done the work to feel better. We also explore the connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, and autoimmune disease, along with why nervous system regulation became such an important piece of Michele’s healing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Hashimoto’s is about more than thyroid hormones • Food can uncover hidden sources of inflammation • Healing often requires more than dietary changes • Overachievement and people-pleasing can fuel chronic stress • Nervous system support is a missing piece for many people ABOUT GUEST: Michele Spring is an autoimmune health coach, founder of Thriving Autoimmune, and a Hashimoto’s and Celiac disease warrior.

    #454 Two Words that can Amplify Your Authentic Self with Rianne Klein Getlink

    Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m joined by my friend and fellow mastermind member, Rianne Klein Getlink, for a conversation about authenticity, self-expression, and the subtle ways we learn to wear masks to fit into the world around us. We talk about how conditioning, professional expectations, and social pressure can slowly disconnect us from who we naturally are, along with why the things that feel most effortless to us are often the biggest clues to our authentic selves. We also explore two Dutch words that don’t have direct English translations but completely change the way we think about ease, joy, anticipation, and possibility. This episode is a reminder that reinvention is always available and that maybe the parts of yourself you’ve been trying to tone down are actually the parts that were meant to shine the brightest.  KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Many women unknowingly wear “masks” to fit in • What feels effortless may reveal your authentic self • Conditioning can disconnect us from our natural energy • Anticipation and joy are experiences worth cultivating • “Yes, and” thinking creates more creativity and possibility • Small mindset shifts can change your energy quickly • Reinvention is possible at any stage of life ABOUT GUEST: Most of us desire to BE ourselves in every context, yet as we age we create a multitude of filters and masks between who we are and how we express ourselves. Rianne (49, The Netherlands) is on a mission to bring out all and more that what makes you YOU into the world. We're all born with an innate energy that wants to be expressed and instead of dimming your light, let's amplify all that lives in you so that we get to witness the real you and in return you feel actually seen as you. A Less Stressed Life because you get to live it as YOU.

    #452 The Secret Language of Your Body with Inna Segal

    Send us Fan Mail This week, Inna Segal joins me to talk about healing in a way that goes beyond quick fixes. Instead of looking for someone else to “fix” you, we break down what it actually means to participate in your own healing and why that shift is often the turning point. We walk through the stages of healing, why people get stuck, and how the nervous system, past experiences, and overwhelm can slow progress. We also talk about how to start reconnecting with your body through simple tools like breath and awareness, and how symptoms can act as signals instead of something to suppress. If you want to go deeper, Inna offers a couple of starting points to help you begin this work: 👉 The Secret Language of Your Body Masterclass 👉 Intuitive Masterclass KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Healing requires your participation • There are stages to healing you can’t skip • The nervous system has to be ready for change • Symptoms can be signals, not just problems • Overwhelm keeps you stuck early on • Connection starts with breath, touch, and awareness  ABOUT GUEST: Inna Segal is a pioneer in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness, and the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, translated into 27 languages and sold over a million copies worldwide.
