I met Teshna while attending a birth in Albany, NY. My friend for whom I had traveled to Albany to assist with the birth of his fourth child had recommended I check out her practice. It was a very modest chiropractic studio, but the experience with Teshna was anything but ordinary. She introduced me to a unique blend of classical chiropractic care and other techniques meant to help me clear my limiting beliefs. She had me say out loud various phrases about my life and how I perceive love in my life, and then she used muscle testing to determine if I “really believed” what I was saying. As it turns out, I’ve been lying to myself about much that I held in my world. And then the magic trick…She corrected these incongruencies using simple touch, red light, and a few other techniques. It was like magic, and I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it myself. Meet Teshna Beaulieu, who is likely the most unusual healer I’ve ever met.

Are you ready for a power hour? You are likely already familiar with my guests on today’s episode, but if not, meet Lily and Lisa. Lily Nichols is the author of two of the most important nutritional books ever written pertaining to pregnancy: “Real Food for Pregnancy” and “Real Food for Gestational Diabetes”. Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is the author of “The Fifth Vital Sign”. Lily’s work has been most relevant once you’re already pregnant; Lisa’s work has been beloved by those trying to conceive. Naturally, Lily and Lisa have combined forces to write the new bible for fertility: “Real Food for Fertility”. Guys, when I say I have found my new favorite reference, I mean it with over 2400 citations, “Real Food for Fertility” combined nutritional and metabolic science with fertility awareness tracking. We could have chatted for 6 hours in this interview, but we had to keep it to 60 min, so we dive deep into lifestyle modification and nutrition to improve egg and sperm quality, and you’re going to be wowed!

Heather and Karina are both parents, and their age gap has provided them sufficient life experience to see the glowing gap in care provided to new mothers in our society. Meeting this need is unlikely to come through allopathic medicine and its myriad of resources because they argue - as do I - that a holistic approach is required. After working for years with women utilizing skills they have picked up in the life and health coaching industry, they then turned their attention to writing a book, “The Way Holistic”, to help new moms (and dads) work with their own stories to become better parents and raise charismatic, healthy kiddos. If you are a mother (or plan to be a parent in the future!) there is a lot of wisdom shared in this conversation!

For almost nine years, Natasha Kingsbury battled with bulimia. For years before that, she fought anorexia. The whole time, nobody knew. Her story highlights the fact that no one look signals an eating disorder. It could be the ultra-thin model, the ripped athlete, the guy always showing off his abs or the sexy Playboy Club host.

Disordered eating and body dysmorphia are something I’m seeing come up more and more in my practice and among friends and family. It’s much more common than we think, and it shows up in unexpected ways.

I am so delighted that I have a person in my life who's willing to come on and talk about this issue which is often kept under wraps. Tash's story is so illuminating, and she shared so many insights not only for people who may be struggling with disordered eating but also for those who think it might be affecting someone they love.

Ayurveda is about the nature of the universe and how that applies to human life and living. It originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and centers around prevention and the maintenance of health rather than the treatment of disease. Ayurveda helps practitioners create balance in their bodies to find optimal health and vitality based on their unique constitution.

I’m joined by Amaya Shiva, an Ayurvedic practitioner dedicating her life to helping others find their balance. We spoke about the core principles of Ayurveda, the characteristics of the three doshas and how they can help to inform your choices, and recommendations to learn more about Ayurveda.

“If you’re going to make it in this world as a couple, hard conversations are important.”

Every single person I bring to this podcast is someone who I know will be open to having the heartfelt conversations that need to happen about how we care for ourselves and one another.

What makes today different is that I’ve let go of my role as interviewer, and I’m sitting side by side with my wife, Stephanie Riley, to talk about vasectomies and healing after pregnancy loss.

In this candid and necessary dialogue, we opened up about what was a difficult time for both of us and explored how our perceptions have shifted over time as we’ve integrated the experience.

This discussion wasn’t easy, and it’s a true reflection of the flexibility that you need to have a lasting, healthy partnership. You’re not entitled to have a joyful relationship that lasts a lifetime. It takes real work. You have to be willing to be humbled and to compromise and to learn to flow together.

I hope that this conversation provides insight into how much empathy is needed on both sides when it comes to talking about contraception and whether you want to grow your family further.

The opportunity to connect with your baby’s soul energy starts long before conception.

Today’s special guest, Emily Greene, is a Psychic Medium and Spirit Baby Medium who has a beautiful ability to put clear language to something that is otherwise abstract. With her connection to spirit, Emily has helped many women conceive by opening their awareness to their innate intuitive abilities and connecting them to the souls of their children, past, present, and future.

In our conversation, we explore the transformation that spirit babies are meant to bring in our lives, how you can start communicating with your spirit baby, and why conscious conception matters.

With strict and sometimes oppressive licensing and regulatory requirements, the average midwife has to prioritize maintaining their license over the experience of the birthing person.

Today I am so grateful to introduce you to Whapio Bartlett. Whapio has been an Independent Midwife for over 30 years, attending women and families in birth and educating women in the Arts of Midwifery and Healing. She also teaches Homeopathy and is affiliated with HANA (Hahnemann Academy of North America). She speaks and frequently writes about Quantum Midwifery and Returning Birth to the Family.

In our conversation, we explore what it means to be a wisdom keeper, her wise woman midwifery care model, and how you can become a birthkeeper who meets the educational standards while maintaining the integrity of what it means to be a person attending to birth. You’re going to love this episode.

The human experience is marked at intervals by significant rites of passage. These transitions are just as important as the moments of birth and death - they’re everything that happens in between.

Holistic health and fitness expert Amy Fournier is doing remarkable things in the holistic coaching space and through her podcast Awakening Aphrodite. Amy’s journey started like many of us, disconnected from our senses, pushing forward without really living life. After burning out and transforming her life, she now helps others harmonize their masculine and feminine energies and connect to their intuition, soul, and nature.

As she's starting to transform into the Wise Woman, I wanted to bring her onto the show to share some of her insights, and she delivers in the way that only she can. This deep conversation covered topics from fitness to religion, witchcraft, ageism, and more. I know you’ll love this conversation with Amy Fournier.

Women’s sexuality is the source of their power and their magic, yet there’s still so much shame wrapped up with it.

Throughout history, the church and the state have held on to a deep fear of women’s power. Even today, society continues to condition women to scorn their sexuality and repress it. Love, sex, and relationship coach Jade Bryce is on a mission to help people to break this conditioning, feel safe to experience pleasure, and feel worthy and deserving of pleasure.

In this interview, we talk about the deep wounds left by a fear-based, religious upbringing, Jade’s realization that we are the source of our pleasure, how she reached over 70 orgasms in one week without a partner and at least half without touch, tools to connect the divine and the physical, and how to heal from birth trauma.
