    Cyclical Eating for Hormone Balance: What to Eat and When

    Most nutrition advice treats your body like it's the same every day. It's not. You move through four completely different hormonal environments every single month  and what your body needs nutritionally in each one is genuinely different. Eating the same way all month is like wearing a winter coat in summer. It just doesn't fit. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly what to eat in each phase of your cycle and why — from blood-building foods during your bleed to the antioxidants your body needs at ovulation to the complex carbs that will actually save your luteal phase. Practical, simple, and deeply impactful.

    What Brown Blood and Clots Actually Mean (It's Not Just 'Old Blood')

    If you've ever looked down and seen brown blood at the start of your period and just... kept moving, or Googled it, got a bunch of scary results, and immediately closed the tab, this episode is the middle ground you’ve been seeking. Because that brown blood isn't nothing. It's actually one of the most informative things your body shows you every single month. And today I'm decoding it for you through a TCM root cause lens.

Plus the story of a client who came to me with a week of dark brown spotting before every period, clots, and that feeling of being "dry and stuck" in her body... and what shifted when we got to the root of it.

    Healing What No One Could Diagnose: Pelvic Floor Health, Lyme Disease & Learning to Trust Your Body ft. Stacy Stern

    What happens when your body shuts down at 14 and nobody can tell you why?  In this episode, I sit down with Stacy Stern, holistic pelvic floor physical therapist based in Los Angeles, who lost her period for two years in high school — not knowing she had Lyme disease — and spent years rebuilding her health from the ground up. We talk about how her own healing journey shaped the way she shows up for women in her practice, why pelvic floor health is so much more than kegel exercises, and what it really means to treat the whole body instead of just the symptom. Plus the fascinating connection between your lymphatic system, your pelvic organs, and your hormonal health. This one is for you if you've ever felt gaslit by a doctor, wondered what a pelvic floor physio actually does, or are ready to understand your body as the connected, intelligent system it actually is.

    The Thyroid-Cycle Connection: TCM Root Causes Behind Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism

    If you have Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and you're still not feeling well on medication, this episode is for you. In 2023, my thyroid crashed at the same time as my divorce. I couldn't fold laundry without breaking down. I couldn't lift my leg in downward dog. I was losing my words mid-sentence. I had been diagnosed since I was 13, medicated for years, and still had no idea how bad things had gotten until I hit absolute rock bottom. This episode is the physical side of that story, and more importantly, what actually changed things for me. I'm walking you through how your thyroid connects to your cycle, your liver, your gut, and your hormones, why you can be "in range" on your labs and still feel absolutely terrible, and the TCM root causes that Western medicine doesn't have a framework for addressing. Plus the client who went from debilitating brain fog and hair loss to consistently lifting weights and feeling like everything was finally working, in six months. Your thyroid is shaped like a butterfly for a reason. This is your butterfly moment. In this episode… 00:00 Welcome to Moon Baby Magic 01:26 My Hashimoto's Backstory 02:58 The 2023 Crash Point 05:21 Going All In on Healing 08:22 Thyroid Basics Explained 10:05 Thyroid and Your Cycle 13:27 Labs and Being In Range 14:48 Hypo vs Hyper Patterns 16:39 TCM Root Causes Framework 17:27 Client Healing Case Study 18:44 Butterfly Transformation 19:43 Masterclass Invitation 20:52 Final Thanks and Next Steps A new episode is released every Wednesday, so go ahead and subscribe for your new favorite ritual.

    Divorce, Long-Term Love & the Advice We're Done Listening To ft. Sydni of Sacred Reclamation

    Unpopular opinion: most relationship advice is garbage. And Sydni and I are here to say it. In this unfiltered episode, my dear friend and herbalist Sydni of Sacred Reclamation joins me for one of our favorite things — hitting record on a conversation we were already having. We get into my divorce and why I've never once seen myself as a victim of it, her eight-year relationship and the really hard season she moved through this past winter, and all the tired relationship tropes we are so done hearing. We also talk about what it actually looks like to take space in a long-term relationship, calling your energy back to yourself, the victim mindset and how to move through it without living there, and the kind of female friendship that holds you down when everything falls apart. No perfect answers here. Just two women being really honest about love.

    Learning to Feel Again: Krista’s Journey from Numbness Back to her Body

    What does it actually look like to go from chronically numbed out, medicated, and disconnected — to doing the most embodied, soul-level healing work of your life? In this episode, I sit down with Krista McGuigan, somatic body worker and pelvic care practitioner, who takes us on the full journey: from tomboy teen mortified by her first bleed, to software engineer in San Francisco on four medications, to solo traveling the world and finding herself — landing in Colorado doing the most grounded, tissue-deep work with women. We talk about breakfast as a spiritual practice, the hungry ghost energy of seeking without substance, what plant medicine and ayahuasca cracked open for her, and how her entire life has been a journey of learning to actually feel herself as a woman. Plus — Krista shares how she works with women through somatic self-touch, pelvic care, and her upcoming live class, Belly Tending (May 8th).
