Just a little taste of what’s to come. First episode drops on January 1!

In this first episode, I’m sharing my story. How I got into holistic health. The struggles I have faced over the last 25 years and some actionable steps to start shifting your lifestyle. I’m so happy to finally be sharing my voice and my expertise with you. This isn’t just about reclaiming health; its about a rewritten story. One of strength, knowledge and connection. We are not alone. We are all cycling together. Let’s create a future where the conversation about our health includes our very natural, very God given cycle. After all, procreation is our superpower. Let’s own it.

Deep dive into the menstrual cycle like never before. After you hear me talk about these cycling hormones in such a fun way - you will never think of your period the same again.

PMS isn’t just an inevitable part of life—it’s your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention.

Discover how symptoms like bloating, mood swings, and fatigue are connected to deeper health issues and learn practical, natural strategies to support your body. Tune in to transform your understanding of PMS and take back control of your cycle.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the hormonal hierarchy and its profound impact on your health. Join me as we explore the HPA and HPO axes—your body’s command centers for stress and reproduction—and how key hormones like cortisol, insulin, oxytocin, estrogen, and progesterone work together to keep you balanced.

Learn how to recognize the signs of hormonal imbalance, why these feedback loops matter, and practical strategies to support your endocrine system. Whether you’re navigating stress, syncing with your cycle, or simply seeking vibrant health, this episode is packed with insights to help you thrive.

In this episode of Cultivating Her: I sit down with Wendy Mooney Smith from Mangata’s Muse to discuss sound healing.

Sound isn’t just something we hear—it’s something we feel, and its frequencies have the power to regulate our nervous system, shift our energy, and even aid in trauma healing.

Wendy and I explore:
🔹 The science behind vibrational healing and quantum energy
🔹 How sound baths can calm the nervous system and reduce stress
🔹 The connection between stored trauma, emotions, and physical health

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by stress or sensed that your body holds onto past experiences, this conversation is for you. Tune in to discover how sound can be a powerful tool for healing, alignment, and transformation.

If you want to experience a sound bath for yourself, Wendy will be out in Kinsman on February 28th @ 6:30pm. Check out my event calendar or register here

Perimenopause is a powerful transition where your hormones fluctuate, your brain rewires, and your body asks for deeper support. In this episode we’ll break down what’s really happening, why symptoms like brain fog, irregular cycles, and mood swings appear, and how to work with your body instead of against it. Plus, I’ll share holistic strategies to balance estrogen, support your adrenals, and ease this transition naturally.

Did you know that your menstrual cycle mirrors the phases of the moon? Just like the tides rise and fall with the moon’s gravitational pull, our bodies move through distinct phases that influence our energy, emotions, and even the way we eat and move.

In this episode, we explore the deep connection between the lunar cycle and the menstrual cycle, uncovering how each phase—from the new moon to the full moon—aligns with shifts in our hormones, mindset, and physical needs. By syncing with these natural rhythms, we can tap into our fullest potential, nurture our well-being, and live in harmony with our bodies instead of working against them.

Tune in to learn:
✨ How ancient civilizations relied on cycles for survival and how we can apply this wisdom today.
🌑 The four phases of the menstrual cycle and how they align with the moon.
🛤️ The best ways to eat, fast, move, and manifest in each phase.
