I have been meaning to make this episode about gut health for 2 years and it finally happened. 🙌🏻 I recently watched the new Netflix Documentary "Hack Your Health: Secrets of the Gut" and that was the motivation I needed to re-share an Instagram live that I did a couple of years ago that is packed with info that is going to surprise you when it comes to gut health. The reality is that most people are pretty hush hush when it comes to bathroom habits, which means most people don't even kn...

Last month, I did a major update to my Game Changer and added an audio option to each lesson so that you have the option to listen to your daily 10-15 minutes lesson during your commute, while going for a walk, or while washing dishes or folding laundry instead of having to sit down and read. My goal is to make this journey as easy as possible for you.  Since I now have the audio, this is a glimpse of one of the first lessons in the Game Changer that teaches a...

A lot has happened since my last episode! I'm starting this season with a review and reflections from 2023 (which was a huge year of learning, growth, and creation - especially when it comes to all things MIND like self-directed neuroplasticity, memory reconsolidation, and hypnosis ) and then I dive into 2024 which has already been a wild ride in unexpected, scary, but also eye-opening and exciting ways. Some of the things mentioned in this episode: The Game Changer The 6 Month Mentorship...

Any time I tell someone outside of the veterinary profession about the high burnout and suicide rate, they're surprised. And that's totally understandable - from the outside being a vet seems like a really fun gig. We get to see puppies and kittens, after all! But there is a darker side of vet med that's important to talk about in order for it to change. Once someone learns about the high burnout and suicide rate, their next question is WHY. This podcast episode dives into the root issues of...

In the span of a few weeks, Hannah called off her engagement, moved out of the home she loved, packed up her Subaru, and went on a solo 6 week cross country road trip to hike in National Parks and to start living the life she wanted instead of continuing down the "easier" path everyone expected.  The week leading up to the trip she felt "so anxious...terrified". 6 weeks later as she finished her trip, she thought "This is 100% what I should have done. I regret nothing." Listen to the episode...
