We are taking a deep dive into some of the questions that I got from an “Ask Me Anything About Progesterone” post I made on Instagram a couple of weeks ago, and it really ties into our last couple of episodes because of the role that Progesterone plays in the many cycles that we experience in our feminine physiology. In this episode:[00:46] Welcome back to The Fully Nourished Podcast! [04:45] What are the gifting organs?[09:12] What are the hormonal interactions of Progesterone?&nbs...
There is a common theme that I see not only in the health and wellness space but all over the world, where women are striving for the moving goalposts of perfection. So many of us are trapped in the all or nothing mindset of perfection that we are missing the beauty of the gradients in our lives.When we are trapped in a perfectionist - or an all-or-nothing - mindset, it is a key indicator that we are facing some sort of dysregulation in our nervous systems. This is causing a constant survival...
The low-carb and no-carb audience has been on the scene for years now, and they’ve spread the unfair misconception that carbohydrates are bad for you. There are so many women who follow the advice of this crowd, causing them to reap the consequences of starving their bodies of the glucose that is so essential to our cellular functions. This episode today is full of so much great information surrounding the myths and fads on insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate intake. Tune in today to ge...
Today, I’m bringing you the final episode in the Heresy Heals series and arguably one of the most touchy subjects in today’s society - asking questions and being a heretic concerning restrictive diets. There are so many diets that are on the rise, and subsequently the fall, that we are supposed to subscribe to as the next best thing for our health based on what the talking heads in the health and wellness space are telling us.In this episode:[01:50] We wrap up our Heresy Heals Series with epi...
We continue our Heresy Heals series with Part 2 in this episode. We are deep diving into the roots of the word “Heresy,” and what it actually means and how it’s not as bad as the word has come to be understood. Ultimately, the root of heresy is finding your own way to the truth that is meant for you. Truth is not absolute, and we often forget that part of seeing the perspectives and truths of others is how we grow and expand as individuals. As women, we always carry our feminine ene...
Nourishment goes so much deeper than just the food we eat. I’ve talked in my other episodes about how we can nourish ourselves on a deeper level to really step into our feminine radiance, and one of those ways that we haven’t explored is spiritual nourishment.Everyone will have a different experience on their journey for truth, but I wanted to share some of what I experienced when I decided to step back from organized religion and leave the church. When we are affiliated with specific religio...
Today’s episode is so interesting and so insightful with my guest, Libby Wescombe!Libby was born into and raised in a cult in Thailand. Around puberty, she began to ask questions and see that the teachings in the cult weren’t quite aligned with what she felt was true in the real world. At 21 she made the decision to leave and move to Australia.With very little tools for success in the real world, Libby struggled to rebuild her life, find work, buy food, all while navigating being a sing...
Detoxing has become such a marketing fad that I think we have lost the meaning and importance of the word and what it actually means for our bodies. In truth, the true ways to detox don’t revolve around a certain supplement or tea or product. Detox begins within. There are three main things you can be doing to support your body’s systems for detoxification and that is general nourishment with nutrient rich foods, regular bowel movements, and reducing stress. Tune in to this episode ...
Skincare is such an exhausting journey for women all over the world, and we are often left sifting through tons of products and wasted money only to find that nothing is really working for our skin. So what gives?In this episode, I’m speaking with Sara Sumic, molecular biologist, skincare specialist, and former acne sufferer, about why so many women are struggling to find the skincare routine that fits them and that the solution isn’t more skincare – it’s less.While we have tried to pres...

I’ve made so many mistakes when it comes to my hair, but I’ve finally found the right path to see growth and beauty both within my hair and myself.

Whether it’s having bad hair days, thinning, hair lo...
There has been a long developed stigma surrounding herbs and their uses in our lives. Common marketing surrounding herbal remedies is often stamped with confusing labels like, “Not FDA approved” and “If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician.”What society has forgotten is that these herbs are the plants that our creator gave to us on this planet. They all have a purpose in our lives, from healing to beauty and everything in between—and they shouldn’t be considered dangerous if you are...
Media has always had the power to shape our outlook on life and even how we choose to behave. I recently rewatched Sex in the City and identified how it so wrongfully shaped the definition of femininity in the late '90s and early ‘00s, by portraying empowered women operating under the guise of masculine energy.Along with this, which arguably gave an extra boost to the feminist movement, we have a new spin on the definition of femininity that is coming from what is portrayed on social media be...
Today’s episode is jam packed with meaningful conversation surrounding the controversial topic of what it truly means to be a woman. It is no secret that society is desperately trying to erase what makes women different and unique, and my guest - Isabella Malbin - joins me in this episode to discuss all that is being stolen from us under the guise of transhumanism.The definition of a woman comes down to the physiology that sets us apart. As Isabella so clearly states, we are human first, then...
It’s finally here! I hope you are ready to peel back the layers of intermittent fasting and the misconceptions about it that have been plaguing female physiology and tricking us into starving ourselves. Buckle up because here we go! When we consider intermittent fasting, we see big forces at play in our metabolism. The truth is that women (or anyone, really) were not built to fast as a normal practice. The practice of fasting causes too much metabolic damage in our systems.There’s so muc...
I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies. After struggling for most of her life with chronic illnesses that doctors were unable to find the root cause of, Kaya has finally d...
I’m excited to dive into the insights and feedback of my podcast audience today! I love the collaborative community that this podcast nurtures, and thank you to all of my listeners who submit write-ins for feedback and questions to dive deeper into discovering your feminine radiance.One of the topics that came through that piqued my interest and that I thought warranted some discussion was fasting and how it doesn’t really work with female physiology. I could talk for an entire episode on thi...
As we constantly strive to find a state of regulation and resonance with our feminine energy, we are often presented with new information that may differ from what we have come to understand. In many circles, this new information could completely destroy the framework we have built, but in this episode, I’m here to encourage you that we can add layers of new information to our current knowledge without completely burning down our current framework.While there are plenty of frameworks out ther...
I speak with Belinda Marie in this episode, and we discuss the roots of feminine energy and what it looks like in different situations and in different people. She has so much profound insight to share on the topic of Feminine energy. A big part of feminine healing and soft living is having the courage to shift in the face of misalignment. Feminine energy is based on the texture behind what we are doing and how it feels to do the actions we are doing, not so much the fruits that those ac...
