The Essentials, Ep 1: My Personal Healing Story

EPISODE #50 — JUL 25, 2025

This week kicks off “The Essentials” — a special throwback series in honor of our 50th episode!

Each episode in this 5-part series has been thoughtfully selected from the archives to illuminate a different foundational layer of women’s health. From hormones and gut health to nervous system regulation and daily rhythm, these episodes will help you reconnect with your body, make sense of your symptoms, and start healing from the root.

In this week’s episode, I reveal the story behind my own healing path. Throughout the episode, I recount pivotal moments in my life that fueled my healing process. I discuss my search for the root cause of my health issues and the limitations of conventional medicine in supporting me, eventually bringing me full circle to where I am today: helping other women navigate their own healing paths. I share the three key factors that helped me heal and the secrets I’ve learned along the way about the connections between mind, body, and soul. This episode is a raw and honest reflection on the winding path to healing and the magic that happens along the way.
