Just A Phase Podcast

Now it’s time for the fun part: stocking stuffers. You know, the tiny gifts that somehow end up being everyone’s favorite. In this episode, we’re chatting through the things we’re actually buying (and gifting!) this year — from cozy home finds and kitchen upgrades to clean beauty faves, quirky gadgets, and the nostalgic holiday vibes we’re all craving. We also get into gratitude, giving back, and why being intentional with gifting matters way more than overbuying. It’s part holiday cheer, part chaos (because the babies are literally napping as we record), and 100% the cozy catch-up you need this week.TOPICS WE COVER:➡ Nostalgic Christmas décor: colorful lights, handmade ornaments, and reusing old favorites➡ Giving back during the holidays — gratitude, kindness, and donating over selling➡ Intentional gifting vs. filler gifts (and why less really is more)➡ Stocking stuffers under $50 we’re obsessed withRESOURCES2025 HOLIDAY GUIDESPONSORS➡ You can stack our code JUSTAPHASE on top of Cozy Earth’s sitewide sale for up to 40% OFF!!!!ABOUT USWe’re Carly, Alaina and Julie Beyar, three silly sisters helping you thrive through every phase of womanhood—cycle health, fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood—with real talk, hormone education, zero shame...and with a healthy dose of humor.

*New upload! Apologies for the technical difficulties! If you’ve ever wondered why you’re “doing everything right” on your fertility journey — tracking cycles, eating clean, taking supplements — and still not getting answers, this episode is for you.We sat down in person with our longtime teacher and healer⁠, Dr. Laura Graye⁠, to explore the energetics and spirituality of fertility and infertility.This conversation goes deep — into consciousness, self-manifested reality, spirit babies, and the true meaning of creation.We talk about how trauma, stress, and belief systems affect the body, what it means to co-create with consciousness, and why creativity and truth-telling can unblock energy in ways nothing else can.If you’re navigating infertility, trying to conceive, or simply curious about how energy and spirit shape your health, this is a conversation that will expand your mind, soothe your soul, and probably give you chills (in the best way).✨ Whether you’re in the middle of infertility, trying to conceive, or simply exploring your own spiritual awakening, this episode is a reminder: you are source.SPONSORS➡ Get 15% OFF our⁠ Clearstem⁠ favorites with code: BALANCEDBEYARSTOPICS COVERED➡ The energetic and spiritual side of fertility and infertility (and why it’s not “woo-woo”)➡ Why our generation (1990–1996) is wired for spiritual awakening➡ How trauma, stress, and belief systems influence the body and fertility➡ What it means to co-create with our higher selves (and baby souls)➡ How creativity, self-expression, and truth-telling open energy flow➡ Meditation, music, and movement as tools for healing➡ The power of nature as a “silent song” that reconnects us to source➡ Baby souls, dreams, and signs from consciousness➡ Practical ways to release energetic blockages in daily life➡ How our triggers reveal what’s asking to be healedIMPORTANT LINKS➡ Listen to Dr. Laura Graye's ⁠meditations⁠➡ Book a ⁠Fertility Appointment⁠➡ Book a ⁠Medical Intuitive Health Body Scan ⁠➡ Book ⁠Jules the Mystical Doula⁠ for miscarriage or fertility medigraytions and support➡ Read ⁠ ⁠⁠The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton⁠OTHER EPISODES TO LISTEN TO!➡ ⁠S2 E15: Healing Yourself For Motherhood With Our Medical Intuitive Metaphysician, Dr. Laura Graye⁠➡ ⁠TMHS 235: Epigenetics & The Biology of Belief with Dr. Bruce Lipton⁠ABOUT USWe’re Carly, Alaina and Julie Beyar, three silly sisters helping you thrive through every phase of womanhood—cycle health, fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood—with real talk, hormone education, zero shame...and with a healthy dose of humor.

In this episode, we’re talking about why the end-of-summer hustle leaves us feeling fried, how summer ironically mirrors our “inner summer” (aka ovulation phase) where we can easily burn out too if we're doing too much! We chat about what we can do to actually ground ourselves before we crash. Think: slowing down, cozy transitions, nervous system resets, and creating little systems that make life way less chaotic. Oh, and yes, apple cider donuts make the cut.TOPICS COVERED➡ The reality of summer burnout (and why it’s a whole vibe)➡ How your cycle’s ovulation phase = your inner summer➡ The shadow side of staying in “go-go-go” mode too long➡ Practical grounding rituals for fall (hot drinks, slower mornings, bone broth, walks, pressure mats, etc.)➡ Why setting systems calms your nervous system➡ Learning to say “joyful yeses” instead of all the yeses➡ Goals that ground you vs. goals that drain you➡ Social media boundaries + phone detox habits➡ Comparison trap (and why you don’t need to live like everyone’s Instagram)➡ The beauty of shifting seasons + cyclesRESOURCES➡ Pranamat for recovery + relaxation (code BALANCEDBEYARS)➡ Bone broth + nourishing soups (We love FOND bone broth code JUSTAPHASE!)

This week we’re kicking off a two-part series on PCOS, and it’s personal. This is part one where Alaina shares her journey of living with PCOS—from the first confusing signs as a teenager, to being given a bad bandaid solution by doctors, to finally finding her own path forward. If you’ve ever been told to “just go on the pill” or felt like your concerns weren’t taken seriously, this story will feel all too familiar.Alaina opens up about how she learned to manage her PCOS, make sense of her symptoms, and ultimately support her body in a way that led to getting pregnant naturally—something she was once told might not be possible!! This conversation is close to our hearts because PCOS is so often misunderstood, and the women who live with it are often left without answers. Sharing this story is about showing that you can take control of your health and find your way back to hope.TOPICS WE COVER:➡ Alaina’s first experiences with irregular cycles and symptoms➡ The frustration of being offered band-aid solutions (hello, birth control)➡ Why PCOS is more than just a reproductive condition➡ The emotional impact of feeling unheard in the medical system➡ How Alaina shifted from frustration to self-advocacy➡ The steps she took to better understand and manage her PCOS➡ Getting pregnant naturally after being told it might not happenRESOURCES➡ The Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden➡ 8 Steps to Reverse Your PCOS by Dr. Fiona McCulloch➡ Cycle tracking for self-awareness and advocacy ➡ Power of Periodization (take our FREE masterclass to learn tips that we teach in our program!!)

If you’re in the trenches of newborn life or you just want the unfiltered truth about what comes after birth this one’s for you. Because postpartum isn’t just a phase you “get through”… it’s a season worth talking about, laughing through, and fully living.🎁Enjoy 15% OFF Clearstem.com with code BALANCEDBEYARSIn this part 1, we’re breaking down:➡Cluster feeding, public breastfeeding, and finding your groove as a first-time mom➡Dressing your postpartum body without buying a whole new wardrobe➡Postpartum hair loss—what’s normal, when to dig deeper, and what actually helps➡Navigating formula decisions without guilt when supply dips➡Supporting partners who feel left out in the newborn stage➡Our favorite products for stretch marks (and why nutrition matters more than creams)➡Surviving sleep regressions, car seat meltdowns, and bottle refusal➡Realistic daily schedules with a newborn and older kids...PART 2 COMING OUT NEXT WEEK!Disclaimers: *In this episode we mention that epidurals may be linked to a higher risk of perineal tearing. Some studies have shown this association, but research also suggests the increased risk is often due to related factors like longer pushing stages or more assisted deliveriesrather than the epidural itself. Always discuss your personal risks and options with your care provider.*Around the 17-minute mark, we talk about holding on to “arm fat” postpartum to help with milk production. Fat reserves in this season often go to places like your hips, thighs, butt, and sometimes arms... but we just want to clarify this might not happen to you. And if it does, it’s completely normal!!RESOURCES➡ The Wonder Weeks App https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-wonder-weeks/id529815782 ➡ Sleepy World https://open.spotify.com/artist/6O26WTYB21EXGNqQz6COVo?si=aRex8rx1QxmU5Bsuur1tjw ➡ We Are Amma Nursing Cover https://go.shopmy.us/p-22901151➡ 8 Sheeps Organics hair serum (code BALANCEDBEYARS) https://8sheep.com/products/postpartum-scalp-serum?_pos=2&_sid=43ba2848c&_ss=r ➡ 8 Sheeps Organics Belly Serum https://8sheep.com/products/true-belly-serum ➡ Postpartum & breastfeeding support https://nightlightdoula.com/ ➡ Meditations we love https://www.medigraytion.com/ABOUT USWe’re Carly, Alaina and Julie Beyar, three silly sisters helping you thrive through every phase of womanhood—cycle health, fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood—with real talk, hormone education, zero shame...and with a healthy dose of humor.

In this episode, we’re joined by Lia Bartha, founder of B The Method, to talk about the misunderstood pelvic floor that impacts way more than just postpartum recovery. From smoother bowel movements to better sex, deeper core strength to birth prep—your pelvic floor is working all the time, and it’s time we stop ignoring it. Lia walks us through why low-impact movement isn’t “less effective,” how to train for longevity (not just aesthetics), and how slowing down in your workouts might actually give you more energy, better results, and a nervous system that feels safe in your body again. Whether you’re regularly cycling, TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or just want to feel stronger from the inside out, this one’s for you.TOPICS COVERED➡ Why pelvic floor health matters at every age (not just after babies)➡ The real reason your core feels off...and how to actually fix it➡ Why tight doesn’t mean strong (hi, hypertonic pelvic floors)➡ The lie that slow workouts are “easy”➡ How to use your breath to protect your spine, calm your nervous system, and unlock your power➡ Why aesthetics are fine—but inner strength has to come first➡ How Lia built B the Method to be gentle, effective, and anti-burnout➡ The shocking connection between pelvic tension and your stress response➡ The one class Lia says will change your relationship to your bodyRESOURCES➡ Use code JUSTAPHASE for 1 FREE month of B The Method workouts with Lia Bartha!! https://app.bthemethod.com/checkout/subscribe/purchase?code=justaphase&plan=monthly SPONSORS➡ Go to kalediagnostics.com and use code JUSTAPHASE for up to $325 off their packages!➡ Head to fondbonebroth.com/justaphase and use code JUSTAPHASE for 10% off your first order.
