What happens when slowing down isn't a choice...it's forced on you at 12 feet?In this raw and reflective conversation, Kaileigh welcomes back wellness entrepreneur and former attorney Neda Shakoori to share her ongoing journey through injury, identity, and the uncomfortable art of receiving care.After leaving a demanding 20-year legal career to prioritize her health, Neda thought she'd mastered the art of slowing down. But a climbing accident that broke three bones and required surgery revealed layers of guilt, disappointment, and hyper-independence she didn't know were still running the show.A note from the host: This conversation reminded me why I do this work. So many of us are running on fumes, filling every moment with productivity, and mistaking burnout for ambition. Neda's story is a mirror - and maybe a warning - that our bodies will find a way to make us listen. The question is: will we wait for the fall, or can we choose the softness now?If this episode resonated, screenshot it and tag us on Instagram. Your stories fuel this community, and honestly? They make my whole week.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro: When Your Body Forces You to Stop09:06 "Wait, I'm High-Achieving?": The Mirror We Don't Want to Hold Up11:09 The Guilt of Not Doing: When Rest Feels Like Failure15:18 Hyper-Independence: The "I Got This" Tax16:24 Shadow Work: What Happens When You Finally Have Space24:34 The Fall: Three Broken Bones and What Came After25:53 Disappointment, Not Fear: The Emotion That Revealed Everything33:46 Learning to Receive: The Hardest Lesson for Givers37:12 Kintsugi: Filling Your Cracks with Gold38:23 Social Media vs. Spiritual Journey: The Tension We All Feel40:51 Fire to Water: Knowing Your Season47:01 Nature as Medicine: The Science of Trees and Cortisol48:03 "I Really Don't Have Time": The Narrative We All Tell50:04 "Give Me the Craziest Thing to Do": The Pattern of High-Achieving Clients53:28 "Self-Love Says 'I Love You,' Self-Care Says 'Prove It'"56:06 The Greatest Gift: Increasing Capacity to ReceiveThis episode is for you if:You pride yourself on being independent but struggle to ask for (or accept) helpSlowing down feels lazy, unproductive, or like you're falling behindYou've ever felt disappointed in yourself after an injury or health setbackYou're navigating your own "soft girl season" but the guilt is realYou're a high-achiever learning that rest is not a reward—it's a requirementNeda's Resourceshttps://shakooriwellness.com/Neda's Spring Equinox Workshop in Los Altos, CA March 15@shakooriwellness on InstagramConnect with Me@KaileighLauren on Instagram@Rebel Wellness Podcast on InstagramJoin My Monthly Wellness Newsletter
If your period pain has you canceling plans, calling out of work, or living on a heating pad for three days straight - this isn't "just how periods are." It's time we talked about endometriosis.In this episode, I'm sitting down with naturopath Kimberly Kushner (@endonaturopath), who brings 25 years of lived experience with endo plus the clinical expertise to back it up. This conversation goes deeper than "take birth control and deal with it", we're talking about the five pillars that actually move the needle, why surgery alone isn't enough, and what your doctor probably never told you about this complex condition affecting 1 in 10 women.We dive into the real origins of endometriosis, including why those endometrial-like cells may have been deposited in utero (before you were even born), the role of retrograde menstruation and immune dysfunction, and why this isn't a "lifestyle disease" - though lifestyle absolutely impacts how you experience it. Kimberly breaks down what conventional medicine gets wrong, from relying solely on birth control and pain management to the crucial difference between ablation vs. excision surgery, why a hysterectomy won't cure your endo unless you also have adenomyosis, and the red flags to watch for when advocating for proper care.We get into practical tools you can use today for acute pain management beyond heat packs—somatic therapy, counter pressure, herbal support, anti-inflammatory and low-histamine nutrition approaches, and why it takes three full cycles to see real change.This episode is not medical advice, so as always take what you learn to your health practitioners before making decisions for your own personal health journey :)Chapters00:00 Introduction to Endometriosis and Holistic Health07:05 Kimberly Kushner's Personal Journey with Endometriosis14:32 Understanding Endometriosis: Symptoms and Diagnosis20:42 The Role of Hormones and the Immune System28:28 Managing Symptoms: Pain Relief and Lifestyle Changes36:08 Surgical Options and Misconceptions41:46 Advocating for Yourself: Finding the Right Care47:45 Success Stories and Hope for Women with Endo01:03:06 Final Thoughts and Connection with Kimberly KushnerConnect with KimberlyVisit Her WebsiteWatch Her Free MasterclassFollow Her on IG @endonaturopathGood Resources + AffiliatesMy fave quality organic sports performance supps Organic Muscle [Code: COACHKAILES]Curious about GLP-1 weight-loss therapy?

I’m inviting you into a truly raw, behind-the-scenes episode today - one that’s less about macros, hormones, or fitness protocols, and more about the messy, beautiful process of slowing down, choosing alignment over constant output, and facing some hard truths about myself.If you’ve been curious how my “soft girl season” has really unfolded… well, this is it! I open up about why I decided to take a summer pause from the podcast (don’t worry, we’re coming back better than ever!), what my downtime actually looked like (hint: it wasn’t all cappuccinos and leisure reads), and how deeply this chapter has challenged my lifelong patterns of tying my worth to productivity.I also share how stepping back created the space to finally leap into grad school, sharpen my skills in clinical nutrition, and confront brewing health issues - from creeping hypothyroid trends to gut dysfunction and stubborn cortisol weight. It’s been humbling, uncomfortable, and exactly what I needed. Whether you’re a fellow high-achiever flirting with burnout, or simply someone who needs a reminder that you don’t have to earn your rest, I hope this episode gives you permission to pause and reassess what alignment looks like for you.I’d love to hear your own story of slowing down (or resisting it). DM me anytime on Instagram @kaileighlauren or @rebelwellnesspodcast. And if you’re new here, this break is just a season — dive into the archives, soak up the past episodes, and get ready for an even more impactful next chapter when we return.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Soft Girl Season08:30 Navigating the Challenges of Slowing Down19:58 Lessons Learned from the Soft Girl Season40:13 Embracing Rest and Redefining SuccessMy ResourcesDownload the 2025 journal prompts HERE FREECurious about GLP-1 weight-loss therapy?
