| 8/26/25 | Best of: Why I was numb and how I learned to feel again | Solo episode | This is one of my favorite solo episodes, and I wanted to bring it back for anyone who missed it the first time—or anyone who needs a reminder that feeling disconnected or “numb” is often a sign of a nervous system doing its best to protect you. In this episode, I share a bit of my own story of living for years feeling flat and disconnected, why that happens, and what it can look like to slowly come back to yourself.

| 8/20/25 | When Nervous System Work Isn't Working | We often hear about healing the nervous system, finding calm through breathwork, or shifting into a regulated state. But what about when those practices don’t seem to work - when they don’t bring peace, and sometimes even highlight what isn’t working in our lives? In this episode, I talk about: Why calming tools can’t fix situations that aren’t right for usHow regulation can reveal where change is neededWhat it really means to “come home” to ourselves Links: Work with Rande Free Spirit A... | 10m 41s | ||||||
| 8/5/25 | When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Abandonment | In this solo episode, I’m sharing some of my own story: like years of rigid routines, juice fasts, and trying to follow every “right” ritual to become someone who finally felt free, healed, and whole. But what I found was that all the "being good" didn’t actually leave me feeling at home in myself. You'll hear me talk about: - How "self-improvement" can sometimes be a subtle form of self-rejection - Why rushing or “shoulds” on our healing or growth path tends to keep us loop... | 14m 28s | ||||||
| 7/22/25 | How Trauma Impacted My Relationship With Food and My Body | If you’ve been listening for any length of time, you know I believe that food struggles are never just about food. They’re often symptoms of something deeper - like trying to feel some sense of control after trauma or long-term stress, trying to survive in a culture that profits off us hating our bodies, or simply trying to make living inside ourselves bearable. This episode touches on: - My 15+ year struggle with food control and binge eating. - The impact of religious trauma, diet, ... | 13m 21s | ||||||
| 7/8/25 | Coming Home to Yourself After Religious Trauma | If you’ve ever felt the lingering impact of religious trauma - especially from high-control, fear-based systems - this episode is for you. I’m sharing from my personal experience growing up in the Seventh-Day Adventist church, and exploring seven common factors that can create deep disconnection from your body, your needs, and your sense of self. This episode touches on: • Why trauma isn’t just about what happened, but how it lives in the body • How messages like “you’re born sinf... | 9m 02s | ||||||
| 6/17/25 | Coming Out and Leaving the Church with my High School Sweetheart. | Today I have something a little different for you. Last year, I went to my 20th high school reunion. I attended a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school, and going back felt like stepping into another lifetime. If I’d thought about religious trauma before that experience, I’ve been thinking about it a lot more since. You’ll hear me talk about that today, but what’s different is that this episode is actually from a brand new podcast I co-host called Ask Me a Question. I created this podcast wit... | 1h 00m 14s | ||||||
| 8/31/23 | The Top 10 Mistakes I Made On My Healing Journey. | THE TOP 10 MISTAKES I’VE MADE ON MY HEALING JOURNEY: Honestly, I cringe a bit using the words "healing" OR "journey" because the internet is so oversaturated with wellness or spiritual teachers. I'm not interested in making "healing" my whole personality, but simultaneously I have always had this deep interest in why things hurt. What any kind of pain, emotional, mental, or physical, is saying. and coming from a background of religious and family trauma, being queer and undiagnosed neurodiver... | 16m 59s | ||||||
| 7/13/23 | My Body is Not a Project | Solo Episode | I love a project. I love working towards something. I think that's pretty human. But for a long time my body was my project. I grew up in a holistic, Seventh-Day Adventist, vegetarian home. we used homeopathy and natural remedies and drank carrot juice and ate homemade bread. To this day I LOVE the taste of barley green powder because I have early memories of drinking it as something that would support my health. I wanted to know about all the supplements in the kitchen cupboard and what they... | 10m 07s | ||||||
| 6/29/23 | Unlearning shame after a lifetime of binge eating | Solo episode | Today I'm talking about the ways that shame lived in my body and fed into the cycle of binge eating and disembodied practices with food. I'll also talk about making my body safe enough to finally feel the shamed parts of me so that they could be understood and come to a more whole and free place.

| 8/25/22 | Food is Medicine, But it isn't Everything with Sarah Hook | Today I'm speaking with Holistic Health and Root Cause Practitioner Sarah Hook. Sarah and I have been connected online since our early wellness blogging days when we were certain we had it all figured out. Some years ago Sarah was bit by a tick and developed severe Lyme disease, causing her to question what she knew about wellness. We talk about what it's like to need food restrictions after healing from an eating disorder as well as the ways in which we can get in our own way with our atte... | 53m 38s | ||||||
| 11/9/21 | Chronic Illness, Healing Diets, & Disordered Eating | Solo Episode | Is it possible to take on a healing diet or a supportive protocol with a history of disordered eating? Is there a way to have a healthy, alive relationship with food that's also intentional? Is restriction 100% bad news in all cases? Today I'm sharing my personal experiences with chronic illness, having a background of disordered eating from a young age. I'm excited to share this with you and hope it brings you more peace and freedom in your relationship with food and your body! L... | 12m 05s | ||||||
| 7/19/21 |  Loving Oneself through Chronic Illness | Solo Episode | On today's episode I'm talking a bit about the autoimmune diagnoses I got earlier this year. This is a shorty ep but includes: ...why it took me so long to see medical professionals and get tested. ...the wide range of feelings post-diagnosis. ...the pre-self-love I had to do before I had any answers. ...the promises I made myself once I had something concrete to work with. ...my thoughts on medication, etc. ...the complex journey that is illness and a disordered eating history. Lin... | 12m 23s | ||||||
| 7/12/21 |  When Rebellion isn't Freedom | Lena Wegener | Hello friends, today I'm talking to my friend Lena, an eating disorder recovery coach who also understands firsthand months of juice fasting, pure raw food diets, and even using diet to heal illness - complicated by her many years of disordered eating that didn't stop once she got into raw foods. Throughout this conversation, we make some simple connections about how and why her eating disorder developed but there could certainly be many more factors one could look at. - We'll discuss ... | 1h 07m 18s | ||||||
| 6/21/21 |  Doing Everything "Right" and Still Feeling Unwell | Theresa Piela | After well over a year, the Free Spirit Academy Podcast is BACK! I begin this episode with a health update of my own - and talk about the balance between maintaining a peaceful relationship with food and my body, while also supporting my body's very specific needs. That will lead us into a conversation with colon hydrotherapist and trauma-informed coach, Theresa Piela. Theresa is exceedingly familiar with chronic illness herself, and also knows well what it's like to do everything 'ri... | 1h 01m 49s | ||||||
| 4/14/20 |  Self-Parenting In Quarantine | Marlena Torres | Here's what you can expect from today's episode: ...how the anxiety of our current circumstances can trigger any anxiety already living within us. ...the question of whether or not we'll ever be going back to 'normal'. ...we'll talk about the pressure to always be growing, creating, being productive, and going to our max. ...the idea that the universe is saying one thing to all humans right now. ...working with the feeling that there's constantly not enough ti... | 36m 11s | ||||||
