    What No One Told Me About My Hormones Part 1: Understanding the Female Body (w/ Dr. Christine White Deeble)

    Hormones are talked about constantly, but how many of us were ever actually taught what they do and how they affect us? In Part One of this two-part conversation, I sit down with Dr. Christine White-Deeble to build the foundation so many women never received. We talk about what hormones actually are, how they work together, and how they shift throughout puberty, our menstrual years, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. We also explore what’s common versus what may be worth paying attention to, why women seek support for their hormones, and the different options available when something feels off—from lifestyle and integrative approaches to medication and hormone therapy. This isn’t about giving you another list of things to “fix” about your body. It’s about finally understanding the body you’ve been living in all along—and having more information and agency when making decisions about your health.

    Coming Home to Your Body: The Path Back to Agency (w/ Prairie Wolfe)

    In this episode of She Is Not Broken, Shelby sits down with somatic practitioner and sexological bodyworker Prairie Wolfe for a conversation about what it means to come home to your body—and why learning to listen may be one of the first steps toward reclaiming your agency. So many of us have spent years learning to override the signals our body is sending us. We question what we feel, push past discomfort, disconnect from our own yes and no, and look outside ourselves for someone else to tell us what is right. Over time, it can become difficult to even recognize the language our body is speaking. Together, Shelby and Prairie, explore how trauma, motherhood, relationships, religion, culture, and the expectations placed on women can shape the way we relate to our bodies. They talk about the difference between making choices from conditioning and making them from genuine agency, how the body communicates safety, discomfort, desire, boundaries, and connection, and what it can look like to rebuild trust after years of ignoring or questioning those signals. They also explore intimacy both within sex and outside of it, how disconnection can turn us into performers or observers of our bodies instead of allowing us to fully experience them, and the importance of discernment in healing spaces that ask us to become vulnerable. This conversation is an invitation to get curious about the relationship you have with your own body. Not to make it another thing you need to master, but to begin learning its language, listening to what it has been communicating, and discovering what it feels like to make choices from a deeper sense of connection, trust, and agency.

    Coming Home to the Parts of You That Feel Alive (w/ Mattie Allred)

    In this episode of She Is Not Broken, Shelby sits down with her sister Mattie Allred, a breathwork and somatic practitioner, for a conversation about what happens when we become disconnected from the experience of being alive in our own bodies. Together, they explore why chronic stress, trauma, motherhood, and years of overriding ourselves can leave us living almost entirely from our minds—and what begins to return when the body finally feels safe enough to soften. Play. Curiosity. Creativity. Movement. Emotion. Stillness. Joy. The parts of us that can seem frivolous when there is so much to get done, but may actually tell us something important about how safe and present we feel in our lives. They also talk about the difference between understanding healing intellectually and actually experiencing it, why we can know all the “right” things and still feel disconnected from ourselves, and how simple practices like breath, movement, curiosity, and noticing the body can help us begin to come back. This isn't a conversation about escaping your responsibilities or creating a life with less to carry. It's about learning how to actually be here for the life you're already living—and remembering that the playful, expressive, curious parts of you aren't gone. They may just be waiting for enough safety to come back. Book Reference: Call of the Wild by Kimberly Ann Johnson

    Your Body Changed. So Did You. (w/ Jennifer Foelker: FIT4MOM Missoula)

    Motherhood changes our bodies, but it also changes the way we relate to them. And in a season when so many women are being told to “bounce back,” movement can easily become another place where we feel like we aren’t doing enough. In this conversation with Jen Foleker, owner of FIT4MOM Missoula, we talk about finding a different relationship with movement after motherhood—one that isn’t centered around getting your old body back. We explore how our reasons for exercising can change, what movement gives us beyond physical results, and how we can have goals for our bodies without treating them like problems that need to be fixed. We also talk about something moms need just as much as movement: other moms. Jen shares what she’s witnessed when women are given a space to show up with the babies, toddlers, snacks, interruptions, and messiness of real life—and how fitness can become a doorway into friendship, belonging, and feeling like yourself again. This conversation is a reminder that taking care of your body doesn’t have to come from wanting to change it. Sometimes movement can simply be one of the ways we care for the woman living inside it.

    From Performance to Presence (W/ Alissa Tucker)

    In this conversation with professional dancer, heels instructor, and mom Alissa Tucker, we explore how movement became less about performance and more about presence. We talk about why movement can feel so vulnerable, how shame quietly shapes the way women experience their bodies, and how culture often confuses sensuality with sexuality. We also explore how motherhood changes our relationship with our bodies, the difference between confidence and performance, and what it looks like to model self-care, self-expression, and self-acceptance for the next generation. Whether it's dancing in a studio, dancing in your kitchen, or simply learning to feel at home in your own body again, this episode is an invitation to see movement not as something you do to change yourself, but as a way of reconnecting with who you've always been.

    How Much Is Your “Ideal Body” Costing You? (w/Brooke Jessop)

    In this episode of She’s Not Broken, Shelby sits down with personal trainer, nutritionist, and mother Brooke Jessop for a deeply honest conversation about body image, motherhood, fitness, and faith. Brooke shares her journey through bodybuilding, burnout, postpartum changes, and learning to move away from performance, perfection, and self-criticism. Together, they explore what it means to come home to your body—not as something to control or constantly fix, but as a gift to care for with love, softness, and intention. They talk about the pressure women feel to stay productive and “put together,” the disconnection that can come from chasing external standards, and the healing that comes through slowing down, presence, and surrender. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your worth is not measured by your appearance, your productivity, or your body size. It’s an invitation to release fear, embrace the season you’re in, and find peace in the body and life God has given you.

    A Conversation About Movement, Expression & Womanhood (W/ Taylor Eubank)

    Movement has become something many women do to change themselves, control themselves, or earn something. But what if it was never meant to be any of those things? In this conversation with movement coach, SMASH founder, Taylor Eubank, we explore how culture has intertwined shame with movement and sensuality, leaving many women disconnected from their bodies and afraid to fully express themselves. We talk about moving because it feels good instead of because it burns calories, reclaiming sensuality from the way culture has sexualized it, the freedom of living unedited, and why expression isn't something we should have to earn. We also explore motherhood, identity, and what it looks like to model a healthy relationship with our bodies for the next generation. If you've ever felt like you've had to shrink yourself, censor yourself, or disconnect from your body in order to fit in, this conversation is an invitation to begin asking a different question: What if shame and movement were never meant to go together?

    What Parts of Yourself Have You Learned to Edit?

    In this opening episode of Season 5, I share the question that became the foundation for this entire season: When did we become so disconnected from ourselves? Together, we explore the quiet ways women learn to observe themselves instead of simply experiencing life, and how that often leads us to slowly edit who we are without even realizing it—from the beliefs we've inherited to the subtle ways we change our bodies, our voices, our joy, and our expression to fit the world around us. My hope is that as you listen, you won't leave with more answers—but with better questions.
