In this episode of The Being Method Podcast, I sit down with Caroline Baudino for a conversation about confidence, reinvention, motherhood, aging, and what it really looks like to rebuild yourself in midlife.

Caroline shares her story of going from stay-at-home mom to building a massively successful online business in her 50s — creating a movement that inspires women to stop shrinking themselves and start fully showing up again. After years of feeling disconnected from herself, a major wake-up call involving her father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis pushed her to reclaim her independence, confidence, and purpose. ()

We talk about:

• Reinventing yourself later in life
• Confidence and identity after motherhood
• Building a business from social media
• Why women are taught to become invisible with age
• Authenticity online
• Self-worth, style, and nervous system energy
• Learning to take up space again

Caroline Baudino is a lifestyle creator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder of “Shop With Caroline,” known for motivating women to feel confident at any age. Her message of “Get up, get dressed, let’s do this” has resonated with millions of women online. ()

How Trauma Gets Stored in the Body — And Why Breathwork Helps Release It

🌀 Episode Summary:

Trauma isn’t just something we think about — it’s something we store. In this powerful solo episode, MJ dives deep into the science and spirit of trauma storage in the body, and why breathwork is one of the most effective tools for release.

You’ll learn how trauma imprints on the fascia, water content, and even the cellular and genetic layers of the body — and how breathwork creates the safety and space needed for these emotional memories to finally move.

This episode blends physiology, somatics, and spirituality — all grounded in science — to help you understand why your body holds on, and how to begin letting go.

Whether you're on a healing journey or guiding others through theirs, this episode is a must-listen.

🔍 In this episode, MJ explores:

• Why trauma is biological, not just psychological
• How fascia acts as an emotional storage system
• The role of structured water and emotional frequency
• How cellular memory and epigenetics carry trauma through generations
• What happens in the body during breathwork
• Somatic signs of emotional release: yawning, crying, shaking, and more
• Why conscious breath is a direct portal to healing

🧬 Referenced Science & Studies:

• The Body Keeps the Score – Dr. Bessel van der Kolk
• Fascia as a sensory organ – Dr. Robert Schleip
• The Fourth Phase of Water – Dr. Gerald Pollack
• Epigenetics and trauma inheritance – Yehuda et al. (2005)
• Breathwork and mental health outcomes – Rock et al. (2014)

In this episode, I’m joined by cycle-syncing expert Kasia Stiggelbout to explore how aligning your lifestyle and work with the phases of your menstrual cycle can radically transform your energy, creativity, and wellbeing.

We dive into the four phases of the cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal—and how each one offers a different superpower when it comes to rest, productivity, communication, and intuition.

Kasia shares practical tips on how to schedule your work in a more body-honoring way, how to work with your hormones instead of against them, and why this approach leads to more sustainable success and deeper self-trust.

Whether you’re brand new to cycle-syncing or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered and inspired.

We cover:

• The unique gifts of each phase of the menstrual cycle

• How to align your schedule and workload with your body’s natural rhythm

• Nutrition, movement, and breathwork tips for each phase

• How cycle syncing supports creativity, leadership, and rest

• Why syncing can be a powerful feminist and spiritual practice
