    How to Actually Regulate Your Nervous System with Dr. Antonia Denison

    This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help. We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work. If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps. Here's what we get into: Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your backWhat to actually look for when choosing a chiropractorThe real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxietyHow to protect your posture and health at a desk jobTech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about itHow the nervous system and chiropractic care are connectedWhy regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous systemDaily practices that actually help regulate your nervous systemTools to maintain regulation once you've gotten thereThe connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize itWhy metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)The upper cervical spine — what to knowRed light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses itCranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatment Semi Rapid Fire: Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspirationHer one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick oneShoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspectiveBook recommendations for nervous system regulationWhat to look for in a pillowMorning and night routine additions for a healthy body and mindHer best purchase this year Connect with Dr. Antonia: Follow Dr. Antonia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.antoniadenison/ Follow Dr. Antonia on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.antoniadenison Work with Dr. Antonia in San Diego: https://wellnesswavechiropractic.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/019fe80b-0c66-797a-a9e6-0fdbd0c4e679 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

    Corporate Burnout, The Art of Pivoting, Building a Pilates Brand, and Becoming an AI It Girl with Anna Rinke, Co-Founder of Homebody Studios

    This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much. We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else. Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life. We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with. Here's what we get into: Anna's path from corporate to founding HomebodyWhat burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see itAdvice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappyThe delusion it takes to build something successfulHow Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated marketThe difference between opening a studio and building a brandWhat real community actually looks likeHer take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debateThe health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by nowHow she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrongPractical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal lifeThe books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinksWhat she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consuming Connect with Anna: Follow Anna: https://www.instagram.com/annanoellerinke/?hl=en Find Anna on Substack: https://annanoellerinke.substack.com/ Follow Homebody: https://www.instagram.com/homebody__studios/?hl=en If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. 🍒

    SISTER SOLO: When it Rains it Pours: Jill’s Lyme Disease, Moving Apart & Mercury Retrograde-ing

    This week's episode is a real one. We're getting into the biggest life update we've had in a long time — Jill's Lyme disease — and everything that's come with it. The symptoms, the process of getting answers, what we're learning, how we're navigating it, and the honest reality of what it's like to be dealing with a chronic health situation while also going through massive life transitions. Because on top of all of it, we're finally moving into our own separate one-bedroom apartments after 5 years of living together. And, of course, nothing has gone perfectly. The moving debacle deserves its own segment (spoiler: it did not go smoothly). We're also catching up on our usual segments — Practitioner's Corner, Current Ins, and life updates — because life doesn't pause even when things get hard. Here's what we get into: - Jill's Lyme diagnosis — how it started, what led us to test, and what the process has been like - What Jill is doing right now to support her healing - The emotional side of a chronic diagnosis and how we're both processing it as sisters - Moving into our own apartments after 5 years — the good, the bad, and the "why is nothing going right" of it all - Practitioner's Corner - Current Ins — what we're loving right now - Life updates and how we're both holding up through all of it Connect with us: If you're in your own hard season right now, come tell us in the DMs. We see you.

    In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried.
