    Send us Fan Mail Could the medications meant to help you actually be working against you?

He also explains why most supplement brands fall short, how to navigate the prescribing cascade, and what root-cause pharmacy actually looks like in practice. He has a helpful way of explaining a complex process in terms that are easy to understand. Aaron is a featured expert in Your Wise Year, Sara's year-long wellness program, and will be hosting a masterclass on July 1st at 7:00 PM Central.

    The Return to HER Retreat with Kara Dobelis

    Send us Fan Mail The Return to HER | featuring Retreat Co-Host, Kara Dobelis, NP What happens when an Integrative Health Coach and a Medicine Woman share the same stage? Something shifts. In this episode, host Sara - health coach, yoga therapist, Human Design reader, and guide for women navigating life's deepest transitions - sits down with Kara Dobelis, nurse practitioner and master spiritual life coach, for a conversation that bridges the science of the body and the wisdom of the soul. Together, Sara and Kara bring a rare combination of gifts: Sara holds space through the body — guiding women into gentle movement, breath, and the art of letting go. Her work in Human Design helps women understand the blueprint of their soul and why they are wired the way they are. She is the steady, grounded presence that says: you are not broken, you are becoming. Kara works at the intersection of integrative medicine and feminine lore - unlocking what the body has stored, what the spirit is asking for, and what the feminine is ready to receive. Through somatic work, fascia release, and a deep intuitive gift, she meets women exactly where they are. She doesn't just see you - she sees into you. When these two come together, the result is a day that is part healing, part homecoming, and entirely for HER - the version of you that has been quietly waiting. Their upcoming retreat, Return to HER, on June 26th at Inner Space in Des Moines is not a workshop. It's not a seminar. It's a sacred container for women who are ready to stop running on empty, to shed what no longer serves them, and to return to the divine feminine wisdom that has always lived within them. If you feel the pull - trust it. That's her calling you home. 🎟 Register at yourwiseselfwithsara.com - $297 Space is intentionally limited (and it will fill up). Loved this episode?
