Your body is constantly speaking to you—through aches, tension, and even the way you breathe—but are you listening?

In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Aissa McGuirl, a Holistic OrthoPelvic Physical Therapist and Fitness Coach who helps people move better, live pain-free, and reconnect with their bodies. Through her unique Connect the Body Dots approach, Aissa teaches clients how every part of the body is interconnected—and how addressing the whole person is the key to lasting health.

We dive into:
🌀 Why pelvic floor health matters for everyone (yes, even if you’ve never been pregnant!)
🌀 How to spot the “hidden” movement patterns causing pain or limiting mobility
🌀 The link between your nervous system, your posture, and your overall health
🌀 The biggest myths about stretching, strengthening, and mobility work
🌀 Why small, consistent habits often beat intense short-term fixes

Whether you’re dealing with pelvic floor issues, chronic pain, or you just want to move with more strength and freedom, this episode will inspire you to stop ignoring your body’s signals and start connecting the dots for your own healing.

Sis, this one is for the woman standing at the edge of change—unsure if she’s falling apart or finally coming home to herself.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Patrice Lockhart, author of The Butterfly Knew, to talk about menopause in a way you’ve probably never heard before. This isn’t just about hot flashes, brain fog, and sleepless nights—it’s about the emotional unraveling, the spiritual awakening, and the deep rebirth of identity that this season brings.

Patrice invites us to see menopause not as an ending, but as a metamorphosis—a sacred rite of passage into our most authentic, unapologetic selves. With wisdom, warmth, and honesty, she reminds us that this is our invitation to rise, renew, and reclaim our power.

In this episode, we explore:
🦋 Why menopause is more than just a physical transition—it’s a spiritual and emotional one
🌙 The identity shifts and self-discoveries that happen during this season of life
🔥 How to move through brain fog, sleepless nights, and mood changes with grace
💖 Practical tips for reclaiming your energy, joy, and sense of self
🌸 Why this stage of life can be your most magnetic and meaningful yet

If you’ve been feeling the stirrings of change in your body and soul, this episode will remind you that you’re not breaking—you’re becoming.

What if your child’s voice is there—but just needs the right bridge to bring it into the world?

In this episode, I sit down with Elissa R. Mandel, a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD speech-language pathologist and autism clinical specialist who founded Speech Works by Elissa. Her mission? To empower parents of non-speaking and speech-delayed children with tools and strategies to help their kids talk, communicate, and truly thrive.

Elissa’s unique perspective as both a neurodivergent professional and a compassionate guide allows her to connect deeply with the children and families she serves. She’s also an expert cast member on the upcoming TV series Legacy Makers, where her work continues to inspire and educate on a bigger stage.

We explore:
🗣️ Why late diagnosis shaped her approach to communication therapy
🗣️ Common misconceptions about non-speaking children
🗣️ How parents can create a supportive communication environment at home
🗣️ The role of patience, creativity, and connection in speech development
🗣️ Why every child’s communication journey is unique—and worth celebrating

If you’re a parent, educator, or simply someone who believes in the power of every voice, this conversation will give you both hope and actionable tools to support the children in your life.
