    The Power of a Woman Who Listens to Herself: Choosing Ourselves, Showing Our Daughters What’s Possible, Body Wisdom & Lymphatic Health with Jackie Hagan Gross RN

    In this episode of Meant for More, Mary Sarah sits down with Jackie Hagan Gross for a deeply personal conversation about body wisdom, boundaries, breaking generational patterns, choosing yourself, and learning to trust what your body and inner voice have been trying to tell you all along. Jackie’s story has taken her through motherhood at a young age, a career in nursing, leaving an abusive marriage, navigating years of health challenges and autoimmune diagnoses, and ultimately beginning to see her body and her life through an entirely different lens. One of the most powerful shifts in Jackie’s journey was beginning to consider that her body wasn’t betraying her. It was communicating with her. That realization opened the door to a much bigger conversation about stress, relationships, the nervous system, boundaries, and what can happen when we finally become willing to listen to ourselves. Mary Sarah and Jackie talk about the courage it takes to break patterns that have existed for generations, the moment Jackie realized she wanted something different for herself and her daughter, and the importance of surrounding yourself with women who encourage you to become more fully who you are. They also explore journaling, creativity, women’s circles, authenticity, feminine leadership, and the experiences that ultimately led Jackie toward her work with manual lymphatic drainage and the creation of Soma Flow. At the heart of Jackie’s story is a beautiful reminder: Your body is part of the conversation. And sometimes choosing yourself begins simply by becoming quiet enough to hear what it’s been saying. In this episode, we explore: • Learning to listen to your body instead of fighting against it • The relationship between stress, relationships, and well-being • Jackie’s personal health journey and changing relationship with her body • Breaking generational patterns • Boundaries and learning to advocate for yourself • Choosing yourself—even when it’s difficult • Motherhood and the courage to create a different path • The power of supportive women and community • Journaling, creativity, and The Artist’s Way • Authenticity and feminine leadership • Discovering purpose through unexpected chapters of life • Jackie’s path to manual lymphatic drainage and Soma Flow If you’ve spent years overriding your own needs, questioning yourself, or feeling disconnected from your body, this conversation is an invitation to get curious.

    The Power of Being Unapologetically You with Lindsay Kearns - Human Design, Self Love and What's Everyone doing to Bring in the Feminine Nowadays?

    What if the parts of yourself you’ve spent years trying to change aren’t flaws at all—but clues to how you’re actually designed to live? In this episode of Meant for More, I sit down with Lindsay for a beautiful conversation about Human Design, Emotional Polarity Technique (EPT), breathwork, boundaries, and what it means to truly listen to yourself. Lindsay has spent more than 20 years in education and counseling, but alongside that traditional career, she has followed her curiosity into yoga, EPT, Human Design, breathwork, and other mind-body practices that have helped her better understand her energy, her body, and the path that feels uniquely hers. We talk about how yoga first taught her to create boundaries and pay attention to what her body was telling her, how EPT opened another door into mind-body healing, and how discovering Human Design—specifically learning that she is a Projector—gave her language for patterns she had experienced throughout her life. Rather than believing she needed to change who she was, she began learning how to honor the way she naturally moves through the world. We also explore the balance between masculine structure and feminine flow, protecting your energy, making space for creativity and nature, finding community, and allowing yourself to continue growing and evolving—even when the people around you don’t fully understand your path. At the heart of this conversation is a question that goes far beyond any one modality: How well do you actually know yourself—and do you trust what you hear when you listen? Because becoming more of yourself may not be about finding one perfect path. It may be about staying curious, learning your own rhythms, and trusting yourself enough to follow what feels true. In this episode, we explore: • Human Design and Lindsay’s experience as a Projector • Emotional Polarity Technique (EPT) and the mind-body connection • Yoga and breathwork as tools for self-awareness • Listening to your body’s signals • Setting boundaries and honoring your energy • Masculine structure and feminine flow • Following curiosity instead of a prescribed path • Creativity, nature, and the importance of community • Giving yourself permission to evolve • Trusting your path even when others don’t understand it If you’ve ever felt like the life, pace, or path that works for everyone else doesn’t quite fit you, this conversation is an invitation to become curious about what does. You don’t have to be understood to be yourself.

    In this episode, Mary Sarah sits down with globally admired teacher and healer, Samantha Rose for a deeply moving conversation on what it truly means to listen to your inner voice and trust the unfolding of your life. Samantha shares her journey — beginning with her travels to Saudi Arabia, where she first began to reconnect with her body through nourishment, discovering how whole foods supported her energy, hormones, and menstrual cycle.
