Aging is a luxury.

Aging women were once seen as wise women. They were held in a place of honor. When did we start seeing aging as something to hide? To erase? When money and the beauty industry started speaking louder than our own intuition.

In this deeply personal conversation, my COO Diana, sits down with me, and discusses my choice to age naturally. We dive into why I started this journey, why I chose not to use fillers, and I share stories that have helped to strengthen my commitment to this path.

Inside this episode, we also discuss:

• Why I first said no to the beauty industry’s relentless demands, and how that “no” evolved into a profound “yes” to myself.

• The freedom, relief, and unexpected power that comes when you stop running from your own humanity.

• The mirror practice that has re-rooted me in love and reverence for my own reflection.

• The heartbreaking stories of the women who came before us - and why I refuse to let my life be remembered for how I looked.

• What it means to live as a “walking permission slip” for other women who are longing to lay down the sword and step into a truer, deeper beauty.

I hope this conversation inspires you to love the woman in the mirror. No filters. No fillers. To see the beauty in the woman reflected back and love her just as she is. Worthy.

You are allowed to age. You are allowed to be seen. You are allowed to love yourself as you are.

If this episode stirs something inside you, share it.
If you’re ready to meet yourself in the mirror - truly meet her, come join me at MAGNETIC.
Your future self is already waiting.

What if everything you’ve been told about birth was a lie?

In this unforgettable episode, I sit down with Eyla Cuenca, a sacred birthkeeper who has stood witness to over 200 births—and what she reveals will forever change how you view the process of birth, the postpartum period, and the systems that surround it. Her message is clear:
You were never meant to shrink inside the most powerful moment of your life.

This isn’t about shame. It isn’t about doing it “right.”
It’s about awakening.
To the stories we’ve inherited. To the choices we didn’t know we had.
To the wild, intelligent, ungovernable truth of the female body.

Together, we explore:

• The traumatic ripple effects of birth trauma and postpartum neglect

• Why disconnection from the body begins long before labor

• How shame and silence shape a woman’s first experiences of her own body

• The politics of pain management, C-sections, and “safe” birth narratives

• What’s truly at stake when a woman is not informed or supported in her choices

• The raw power of surrender, sovereignty, and body-led birth

This is not a birth class. This is remembering.
A return to the body.
A dismantling of every story that told you birth was something to numb, hide, fear, or endure.

This episode is not just for mothers.

It’s for every woman who’s ever handed over her power because she didn’t know she had a choice.

Listen with your whole heart.
And if it stirs something inside you—share it.

What if the illness you fear most isn’t the real disease?

In this episode of Things Your Mother Never Told You, I sit down with Anita Moorjani, who was once given just hours to live. In 2006, Anita fell into a coma from end-stage lymphoma—her organs shutting down, her family was told to say goodbye.

But in the space between life and death, she discovered a profound truth: fear is the lie, and self-abandonment is the real disease.

Anita returned to her body with a mission—and a message that would save her life:
You are not here to be small, sick, or silent.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How a lifetime of fear and self-betrayal manifested as terminal cancer

• The near-death experience that awakened her to her true power

• Why self-love isn’t selfish—it’s life-saving

• How women can reclaim their worth, voice, and vitality

This is not just a story about healing.
This conversation is a call to remember who you truly are and to live fearlessly—because your life depends on it.

If something inside you stirred, share this with a woman who’s ready to stop apologizing and start remembering who she is.
