How to Incorporate Blenderized Tube Feedings (Real Food) for Your Healing, Holistic and Herbal Journey
Wednesday, August 13, 2025 • Duration 59:16
As a former NICU and GI Nurse, G tubes and Blenderized Feeding are a match made in heaven.
Typical formula blends like ensure are a mix of sugar, processed oils, and synthetic vitamins. I would bet my bottom dollar that anyone who was on those long term would have chronic constipation/diarrhea, reflux, indigestion, poor wound healing, and overall poor health.
This is all to common for tube families, but real food is an option to everyone and a way to get deep nourishment in the body.
Whether you take food by mouth or by tube...real food should be accessible to us all.
In this episode we are talking about
-what is tube feeding
-how real, blenderized feeds can support digestion, the microbiome, gut healing which in turn supports overall health.
-how to transition to blenderized feeds
-how herbal medicine can be apart of your g tube journey
HEALING ALWAYS my tubie families <3

CHAKRA SERIES- Healing the ROOT.
Monday, June 9, 2025 • Duration 59:32
Healing the Root.
When we buy a home one of the first questions we ask is ...how is the foundation?
Why? Because if the foundation is shaky, we risk collapse.
Healing our root chakra and our foundation is the same, and necessary for integrated healing.
The root is responsible for our right to be here, our basic safety needs being met, nourishment, feeling safe, and overall health and vitality.
If you feel like you constantly have a bee in your bonnet, hypervigilant, anxious thoughts, crispy and burnout, and fear spirals and are unable to ground your energy
OR
feeling like heavy, stuck, I can't get going, rigid boundaries, I have no energy.
Then this episode is for you.
As humans we are capable of creativity, manifestation, joy, peace, happiness, vitality, and wellness, but in order to get into those elevated states we have to have a foundation that can support us.
Healing our root chakra is the first chakra and first level to healing.
When the root is healed we feel rooted, grounded, good energy and vitality, we feel safe and capable of handling ANY situation that comes our way. At the end of the day we can't control external factors, but we can control how we show up in the world.
You deserve to be here. You are strong. Your body is safe and capable of healing. Your needs are worthy of being met. You are enough.

Understanding Spring's Energy to Manifest your Dream, Desires, and Intentions for the Year.
Thursday, March 20, 2025 • Duration 26:53
If you are living in alignment with the seasons then Spring is the perfecto time to begin to plant your seeds in order to harvest your desired intentions throughout the year.
A lot of times we make empty statements like "I want to eat better" or "I need a new job" but we need to get clear on WHY that is important for you - what would that healthier life look like? More vitality, energy, clarity of mind? Why is a new job important to you, what would that mean? More flexibility, work life balance, more dolla dolla bills?
Either way, if we want to manifest something, if we want to "enjoy the harvest" we must first make a plan, plant the seeds and take action steps to get there.
What better time to do that then Spring? When the soil is fertile for our truest desires?

Healing Our Hearts to Overcome Hate and Find more Peace and Healing...and some Herbs for the Heart
Wednesday, March 5, 2025 • Duration 55:31
why during this fearful times - love is the only answer, and the harder life gets, the more I lean into Creator and love.
life is short, how do you want to show up? fearful, angry, resentful, shutdown or peaceful, compassionate, and unconditionally loving?
While it feels like hating those who hate us or smack talking against those who are "them" is "right" - the only person that affects is you. The only person who holds that low vibration, tense energy is yourself.
Instead, let us learn to love ourselves deeper, love ourselves unconditionally, have compassion and forgiveness for ourselves so we can have compassionate, peace, love for those who are different than us and bring some healing to ourselves, families, and this world.
we all need this and are deserving of this regardless of our race, culture, religion, political affiliation, gender.
the heart is the seat of the soul and our ability to connect to our fellow humans, the Earth, and the divine.
happy healing <3
Balancing Your Hormones Through Understanding Natures Cycles
Tuesday, February 11, 2025 • Duration 49:53
I LOVE talking cycle health because most of us women were NEVER educated on it We may have gotten a period talk in 8th grade and shown how to use a tampon, but that's about it.
Womp womp.
My young girlies used to come into the hospital having no idea what normal was (nor did the hospital residents I worked with) and that transpired into women in there 30's and 40's being diagnosed with endo, PCOS, debilitating period pain, hysterectomies, etc. WHAT GIVES?! That is not our normal and we don't have to live like that.
Tune in to this months podcast to learn
-What is a normal cycle
-Why knowing our normal matters
-Why cycles get out of rhythm and what abnormal looks like (hormonal migraines, heavy periods, infertility, skipped periods, irregular periods)
-Learn some first steps about how to bring your cycles back into balance
-Oh...and some much needed validation that we are indeed cycle as women...which means we don't always show up the same. Yes indeedy I am hormonal, it's apart of my DNA.
