In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood emotions—especially for women: anger. For years, I didn’t even realize I was angry. I told myself I was “fine,” “chill,” “rational.” But under all that composure was a nervous system running on tension and suppressed emotion. And here’s the truth: when a...

In this episode, I’m joined by Jessica Baum, therapist and author of Anxiously Attached and Safe. We break down attachment theory in real, everyday terms—how early experiences shape the way you love, what “secure” actually feels like in your body, and how to move from surviv...

Ever feel like anxiety just comes out of nowhere? Your mind starts racing, your body tenses, and suddenly you’re either spiraling into overthinking or completely shutting down.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I stay and dig deeper—or is it time to go?” you’re not alone. In a world that glamorizes fresh starts, we can miss the quiet miracles of rootedness.

Why is it so hard to “switch off” at the end of the day? You close your laptop, but your mind keeps buzzing. You replay conversations, run through tomorrow’s to-dos, maybe even reach for your phone to check just one more email. And even if you try to relax with food, TV, or scrolling, the stress lingers. That’s because your nervous system doesn’t instantly reset when work ends. Without the right signals, your body stays stuck in fight-or-flight—leaving you restless, snappy, ...
You cannot heal your mind or your body in the presence of chronic stress. Full stop. And here’s the hard truth: all the money, supplements, and energy you’re spending trying to heal without addressing your stress load? It’s mostly wasted. Because stress is cumulative. It’s not just the tough conversation with your boss or the argument with your partner. It’s also the poor sleep, the endless notifications, the skipped meals, and the emotions you never process. The good news?&...
There’s nothing worse than hitting Sunday night exhausted, resentful, and already bracing for Monday. For years, my Saturdays and Sundays were one long to-do list: laundry, errands, meal prep, cleaning, maybe even “getting ahead” on work. By Sunday night, I wasn’t recharged—I was exhausted and already dreading Monday. Here’s the thing: weekends aren’t meant to just help you recover. They’re meant to restore. Recovery is passive. Restoration is active. And if you want to step into ...

If you’ve ever caught yourself chasing “work-life balance” with the perfect planner, color-coded schedule, or yet another productivity hack—only to still feel behind and burned out—you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stressed, snappy, or depleted—even when nothing “major” is wrong—your habits might be the reason. Because nervous system regulation doesn’t happen in the big, dramatic moments. It’s built in the small, daily rhythms that either anchor your body in safety… or keep it running on fumes. In this episode, I’m sharing 4 everyday habits that have completely changed my patience, energy, mood, and ability to show up—at work and at home. These aren’t flashy, b...
True transformation doesn’t come from white-knuckling your thoughts. It comes when you engage your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—to reset into peace. In this episode of Alive & Well, I’m joined by Ashriel Huber, founder of Love Moves, who helps women break free from fear, stress, and unworthiness by pairing movement, breath, prayer, and neuroscience. What started in her kindergarten classroom—where she discovered how movement transformed kids’ ability to learn—has grown into a p...
Most of us are doing it 20,000 times a day—and doing it wrong. Breathing isn’t just automatic. It’s foundational.

In this episode of Alive & Well, I’m joined by integrative physiotherapist Campbell Will, who has spent years studying the breath across ICUs, neurosurgical wards, elite athletic settings, and private practice. What he’s found is s...
