In this thought-provoking episode, Autumn Carter explores the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence and asks a timely, complex question: Can AI truly replace the guidance of a human coach, consultant, or therapist? As a certified life and parenting coach, Autumn shares personal insights, real-world examples, and even a conversation between ChatGPT and her own child to highlight what AI can and cannot offer when it comes to emotional support, intuitive insight, and meaningful change.

You’ll hear about the subtle nuances that separate human mentors from machines—empathy, memory, ethical responsibility, and the ability to hold space for discomfort and growth. Autumn walks through scenarios where AI may offer convenience but falls short in offering connection, accountability, and transformational breakthroughs. She also provides a mindful grounding practice to explore how you’re personally reacting to AI’s increasing presence in your world.

If you’ve been leaning on AI tools for answers, this episode will gently challenge you to reflect on where real support still matters—and why your human experiences deserve to be witnessed by another human. With coaching questions and practical takeaways, Autumn reminds us that technology is powerful, but presence is irreplaceable.

In Episode 121 of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter sits down with Lori Brand, author of the gripping thriller Bodies to Die For, for a raw and eye-opening conversation about the often invisible yet deeply damaging war women wage on their bodies—and each other. Lori brings a fascinating perspective drawn from her journey as a former gymnast, stripper, bodybuilder, and fitness writer turned engineer and novelist. Her lived experience weaves through every part of this episode as she unpacks how diet culture, societal expectations, and the pursuit of unattainable beauty ideals leave lasting scars, even on those who appear to have “made it.”

Together, Lori and Autumn dig into the quiet cruelties women endure and perpetuate—often without even realizing it. They talk about the haunting impact of early body shame, the power of strength training to reclaim self-worth, and the internal shifts that come when we stop chasing someone else’s version of beauty and finally come home to our own power. Lori shares the chilling inspiration behind her novel, revealing how real-life internet comment wars sparked her fictional body war thriller, and how the story speaks to the deeper truth that getting strong is the answer—not shrinking.

This episode is more than just a conversation about a book. It’s a call to examine how we talk to ourselves, how we model self-worth to our children, and how healing begins when we stop measuring our value by a number on a scale or likes on a post. Whether you’ve struggled with body image, are trying to raise body-positive kids, or just want to be part of changing the culture for the next generation, this conversation will stir your heart and awaken something fierce and liberating within you.

To follow Lori Brand’s work, you can find her on Instagram at @loribrandwritesandlifts and visit her website at LoriBrandWrites.com.

In Episode 120 of Wellness in Every Season, we take a heartfelt dive into a subject that touches nearly every home but is often overlooked—the unequal distribution of chores and child-rearing responsibilities. Autumn Carter, certified wellness and parenting coach, opens up about her personal journey through the lens of the Fair Play Method, and explores why it often falls short in practice, especially for women and primary caregivers.

Autumn shares vivid stories from her own life, including the early days of motherhood, her educational path in applied health, and the shift from feeling overwhelmed and unseen to reclaiming balance and structure through intentional delegation. This episode offers both a reality check and a call to action: how can families truly share the mental load, rather than simply reshuffling responsibilities in a way that continues to burden the more nurturing or feminine partner?

With real-world examples, scientific insight, and reflective coaching questions, Autumn challenges listeners to rethink what “help” in the household should look like and why including children in the chore dynamic isn’t just helpful, it’s essential for their growth. She paints an emotionally resonant picture of what it feels like to have a never-ending to-do list filled with things that drain rather than energize you, and she invites listeners to pause, visualize, and reimagine their homes as spaces of shared responsibility and personal empowerment.

Listeners are guided through a gentle mindfulness exercise to explore what’s not working, where energy is leaking, and what needs to be released in order to make room for deeper family unity, personal self-care, and even long-held dreams. Whether you’re part of a two-parent household, a single parent navigating it all, or somewhere in between, this episode offers compassionate insight and real solutions.

Explore how chore equity can become a path to wellness, deeper intimacy, and stronger family bonds—and discover how Autumn’s upcoming program aims to make this process work for every member of the household, not just the most overwhelmed one.

We will explore wellness for moms by going on a dive deep into a powerful concept that can transform your life: the stages of change.

Picture this: You have dreams, goals, and aspirations for a healthier and happier life, but you may feel stuck or unsure of where to start. That's where the stages of change come in. Developed by psychologists James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente, these stages offer a roadmap to guide you through the process of making positive changes.

Understanding these stages is like having a secret weapon in your wellness journey. It empowers you to identify where you are, set realistic expectations, and find the support and strategies that suit your unique needs. You'll gain insights into your readiness for change, address resistance and ambivalence, and celebrate the progress you make along the way.

Through examples, practical tips, and thought-provoking discussions, we'll help you navigate these stages and unlock your full potential. Whether you're looking to improve your physical health, boost your emotional well-being, or enhance your ov erall quality of life, the stages of change will be your guiding light.

So, get ready to embark on a transformative adventure. We'll explore the stages of change, weaving them into the tapestry of your wellness journey as a mom. It's time to embrace change, step by step, and embrace the vibrant, fulfilling life you deserve. Let's get started!

As moms, we often put others before ourselves, but it's crucial to understand the foundation of well-being and personal development, not just for ourselves, but for our families too because we are the ultimate example. We'll start by explaining what hierarchy is and then dive into Maslow's groundbreaking theory, which highlights the progressive nature of our needs. By addressing and fulfilling these foundational needs, we create a solid groundwork for higher levels of well-being and growth.

But what does this mean for us as moms? How can we ensure that we are nurturing all aspects of our lives while also taking care of our families? That's where the 8 Dimensions of Wellness we talked about in the past 9 episodes come in. We'll explore how each dimension, from physical and emotional wellness to social connections, intellectual stimulation, and spiritual fulfillment, plays a vital role in our journey towards self-actualization and living a truly fulfilling life as mothers.

We'll end with some questions to help you discover where you are currently at on your journey towards total wellness as a mom. So sit back, relax, and join us as we unravel the complexities of human motivation, well-being, and personal growth. Together, we'll explore practical applications of these theories in various domains, empowering you to thrive in all dimensions of wellness and embark on a transformative wellness journey like never before. Happy Mother's Day!

In Episode 111 of Wellness in Every Season, I’m inviting you into a conversation that I truly believe could change the way you view pain and your body’s ability to heal. I know so many of you are carrying the weight of chronic pain—whether it’s a constant ache in your back, tension in your shoulders that never quite goes away, or something deeper that painkillers only seem to mask but never truly fix. I get it because I’ve been there too. After my car accident, I found myself desperate for relief, and I know firsthand how exhausting it can be to feel like nothing is working. That’s why I’m so grateful to bring you this conversation with Dr. Njideka Olatunde.

Dr. Njideka is a naturopathic healthcare practitioner with over forty years of experience helping people break free from pain without relying on medication. Her approach is gentle yet powerful—she works with the natural systems of the body through reflexology and the power of touch to unlock the body’s own healing capabilities. But what stood out to me the most during our conversation was her deep understanding that pain is not just physical. It’s connected to our stress, our emotions, and the way we carry the burdens of life in our bodies.

This episode is for you if you’re tired of feeling stuck in the cycle of pain and pills. It’s for you if you’re ready to listen to your body in a way you maybe never have before. It’s for you if you’re longing for relief but also craving a deeper connection to yourself and your well-being.

Dr. Njideka’s wisdom reminded me that we all have this beautiful, built-in power to care for ourselves. Sometimes we just need someone to show us how to tap into it. So, if you’re struggling, I want you to know—you are not alone. There is hope. There is another way. And I am so glad you’re here.

Tune in to learn more about reflexology, the power of touch, and how you can start feeling better—naturally. If this conversation speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you. You can find me at wellnessineveryseason.com, and Dr. Njideka is available at focusonhealing.com. She’s also offering a special gift to our listeners—a free download called Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness, which you can grab here.

You deserve to feel good. You deserve to feel cared for. Let this be the first step toward finding that relief. I’m cheering you on every step of the way.

Have you ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like something inside you is quietly urging you toward change? Maybe you’ve wondered if it’s too late to rewrite your story or pursue a dream that’s been tugging at your heart. In this episode, we dive into the journey of questioning who we are and redefining our path—because it’s never too late to shift directions and align with the life you’re meant to live.

Host Autumn Carter, certified life and parenting coach, shares her personal reflections on navigating identity shifts, the weight of unfulfilled purpose, and the discomfort that often accompanies growth.

Through storytelling and gentle guidance, this episode explores:

• The power of small, consistent adjustments over drastic leaps.

• How to recognize when you’re out of alignment and what that discontent is trying to tell you.

• Rewriting limiting beliefs and giving yourself permission to start anew.

• A mindfulness practice designed to help you realign with your purpose and identify your next small step forward.

Whether you’re navigating a career change, seeking clarity in your personal life, or simply feeling the pull toward something more, this episode offers reassurance that you are not alone. You are a masterpiece in progress, capable of evolving and creating a life that reflects your truest self.

In this transformative episode, I sit down with Dr. Flora Waples, an Ivy League-trained physician with over 15 years of experience in aesthetics, wellness, and hormone replacement therapy. Together, we unravel the journey that led Dr. Waples from the high-stakes world of emergency medicine to opening RESTOR Medical Spa, a sanctuary for regenerative and non-toxic aesthetic solutions.

Dr. Waples opens up about her personal health struggles during perimenopause, detailing how weight gain, exhaustion, and the emotional toll of her demanding career pushed her to seek a better path. She shares how this journey ultimately led her to regenerative medicine—a field focused on working with the body’s natural processes to rejuvenate from the inside out. From innovative bio-fillers created from your own blood plasma to hormone optimization that can reverse the metabolic decline so many experience in midlife, Dr. Waples describes how we can age with vitality, beauty, and strength.

We discuss what makes regenerative aesthetics different from traditional injectables and how these treatments help the body rebuild its own tissues for a more natural and lasting result. Dr. Waples also explains the pivotal role hormones play in energy levels, weight management, and overall well-being. She shares her expertise on GLP-1 medications and their life-changing impact on metabolic health, emphasizing that these advancements are not just about appearance—they are about reducing inflammation and giving people their lives back.

Whether you’re curious about non-toxic beauty treatments, seeking answers to unexplained fatigue, or searching for ways to reclaim your vitality, this conversation offers hope and practical solutions. Dr. Waples reminds us that while we can’t control the passage of time, we have more power than ever to decide how we age.
