All external pressure is off ladies! It’s time to listen to the inner pull. Mastering the art of knowing when to slow down and breathe vs. when to take action. It's time we value our desires. See your value. Own it. Communicate it. It’s time to become wildly #emotionallyuncomfortable
This podcast will crack you open and force you to grow. Interviews and storytelling about business, emotional intelligence, creativity, love, being different, parenting, and more...

Emotionally Uncomfortable

Are you doing all the things—even following every functional medicine protocol—and still feel like your body is betraying you?
 
You’re a high-achieving, ambitious woman, yet suddenly, your energy, libido, performance, and drive feel like they’ve hit rock bottom.
 
Sound familiar? Welcome to perimenopause.
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Jenn Pike, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and the queen of women’s health, to discuss how perimenopause isn’t just a phase—it’s a call to reconnect with your body, unlearn everything you thought you knew, and take ownership of your health like never before.
 
Here’s what we dive into:

 • Why relying on someone else to just “tell you what to do” is holding you back from true health empowerment
 • 
The importance of regular testing to truly understand what’s happening with your body • 
 • Why there’s no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution to your health—and how to embrace what works for YOU
 
If you’ve been feeling stuck, unheard, or like you’re losing yourself, this conversation will inspire you to take back control, trust your body, and reclaim your health.

Wanna know what happens when you step into the unknown, surrender to your deepest fears, and discover parts of yourself you’ve long ignored?
 
I’m taking you behind the scenes of my first psilocybin ceremony—a solo journey that cracked open new levels of healing, self-awareness, and alignment.
 
If you’ve ever felt stuck despite doing all the "right" things—journaling, meditating, working hard—this episode is for you. I dive into how plant medicine revealed truths about myself, my work, and the woman I’ve become, and how it continues to shape my path forward.
 
Listen in as I explore:

 • The breadcrumbs of self-trust: How whispers of curiosity guide us toward our next level of healing
 • 
The fear of the unknown: Why surrendering control is the gateway to transformation • 
 • Radical self-care: Realizing that neglecting your own needs is the ultimate selfish act
 • The healing power of psilocybin: How this experience helped me feel lighter, more connected, and less triggered in daily life
 • The messy truth of growth: Why embracing life’s messiness is essential for true alignment and joy
 
Whether you’re curious about plant medicine or simply looking for inspiration to reconnect with yourself, this episode will leave you with practical insights and profound encouragement to lean into your own whispers.
