The Next Phase

What if your home is affecting your nervous system more than you realize? In this episode, Stacey sits down with interior designer, feng shui master, and author Lisa Morton for a conversation about clutter, energy, burnout, and the surprising emotional impact of the spaces we live in. After experiencing severe burnout early in her own design career, Lisa became fascinated by the connection between our environments and our wellbeing. Today, she blends interior design, feng shui, and energy wor...

Have you ever felt like your entire life became one giant self-improvement project? In this solo episode, Stacey explores what happens when high-achieving women become trapped in a constant cycle of optimization — always trying to become healthier, calmer, more productive, more healed, more emotionally regulated, more “their best selves.” From self-help books to wellness culture to nervous system work to productivity routines… when does trying to improve yourself quietly become exhausting? St...

Lately, everything has felt like… too much. Too many activities. Too many Amazon boxes. Too many decisions. Too many tabs open in our brains. In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Seferian, host of the Sustainable Minimalists and author of Sustainable Minimalism, to talk about what minimalism actually looks like in midlife. Not the white-wall, aesthetic version. The nervous system version. We explore: • Why our generation struggles with overconsumption • The press...

Perimenopause can feel like a confusing full-body mystery… but today’s conversation is a deep exhale. I’m sitting down with Jane Barlow, an herbalist and founder of Barlow Herbal, who literally grew up in plant medicine—her dad was a college-educated medicinal botanist, and herbal healing was just normal in her house. And while Jane’s own menopause experience was basically a “nothing burger” (yes, we unpack that), she’s helped thousands of women navigate the real stuff: irregular/heavy period...

January has a way of turning us into projects. Fix your habits. Fix your body. Fix your mindset. Fix your life. In this episode, Stacey reflects on the familiar New Year self-help spiral—and why, after decades of goal-setting, optimizing, and trying to become “better,” she’s choosing something different. Through a deeply personal New Year ritual, a surprising realization, and one tiny experiment that changed how she experiences time, Stacey explores what it actually means to create more space...

After watching K-Pop Demon Hunters, my daughters asked me if they “should want abs”… and that moment changed the entire direction of this episode. Today we’re talking about meno belly — why your belly is changing in perimenopause, what’s actually happening biologically, and the stories we’ve carried since growing up as millennial girls raised on Friends, Ally McBeal, The O.C., and the Victoria’s Secret angels. This episode isn’t about flattening your stomach. It’s about healing your rel...

Between kids, work, and mom-life chaos, no one has the bandwidth to reinvent a grocery list every week based on their hormones. Today I’m teaching you how to make cycle syncing automatic with four reusable grocery lists—one for each phase. Instacart or in-store, it works either way. Just tap → add to cart → done. By the end, cycle syncing won’t be something you try—it’ll be something you actually do. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✨ Why cycle syncing works for energy, PMS, mood, metabolism &a...

What if you hit 40 and realized you still hadn’t really grown up? In this week’s episode, Stacey gets brutally honest about the behind-the-scenes chaos of adulthood — from forgotten bills and overflowing inboxes to that constant hum of anxiety that comes from not having systems in place. This isn’t a how-to or a list of tips. It’s a confession.
