Katy Whalen is on a mission to help women take back control of their health and feel their best from the inside out. 

After navigating her own long and challenging journey through infertility, miscarriages, IVF, and postpartum recovery, Katy found herself drained—fatigued, hormonal, battling brain fog, and wondering why the system that had supported her through fertility treatments seemed to stop caring once her baby was born.

By diving deep into her biomarkers, balancing her hormones, and incorporating peptides, she finally began to feel alive again—with the energy and vitality she needed to care for the family she had worked so hard to create. 

But Katy didn’t stop there. She wanted other women to experience that same transformation, so Joi Wellness was born.

Through Joi, Katy and her team empower women to manage their health holistically with innovative therapies like peptide treatments, all delivered virtually to make care accessible and personalized. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into women’s metabolic health, the game-changing benefits of peptide therapy, and some of the myths and misconceptions around GLP-1 medications like semaglutide.

If you’ve ever felt like the healthcare system left you without answers—or you’ve been curious about the buzz around peptides and treatments like Ozempic—this is the episode for you!

Let’s start taking charge of our health, one step at a time. Follow Joi Women’s Wellness on Instagram @joiwomenswellness and check out their smart supplements and peptide therapies for personalized health support on their website!

I never thought a simple change could have such a massive impact on my parenting and my three-year-old’s behavior. 

As a mom, entrepreneur, and firm believer in living life on our own terms, I’ve always leaned into a more “crunchy” and holistic approach. But despite my best efforts, I started noticing something troubling—meltdowns, restlessness, and a shift in my child’s mood that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. 

It wasn’t until I took a hard look at one seemingly harmless habit—screen time—that everything clicked. What happened next completely transformed our home, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Today I’m chatting with Jenn Thatcher, who left a successful career as an international artist to found ZEBRA. Jenn believes her children were victims of dirty products and a system that is designed to trick consumers. 

After her son Jack’s diagnosis of a brain tumor made her even more vigilant at researching every single ingredient in the products her family was using, she realized that products are really not always as natural as they seem. She decided if she wanted something truly safe, and high performance she was going to have to create it herself. 

This is how ZEBRA was born.

ZEBRA is a non-toxic, freedom-loving brand who answers to no one but the Creator himself and I LOVED our conversation about what makes ZEBRA different from other brands on the market, the ingredients she chose to include and exclude from her formulas, and most importantly: WHY.

When Kyle and I first started Trust Issues, the focus was clear: sharing conversations with incredible entrepreneurs, business experts, and inspiring leaders to help you grow, thrive, and feel empowered in whatever you’re building. 

And while I still love those kinds of conversations and absolutely plan to keep them in the mix, I’ve been feeling this pull lately—a pull toward topics that go beyond business and dig deeper into how we live and take care of ourselves.

This year, as the podcast transitioned into a solo show, it gave me a chance to reflect on the direction I want to go. And what’s been exciting me most lately is the health and wellness space. These are the kinds of topics that light me up because they connect to how we can show up as our best selves in EVERY area of life… Whether it’s motherhood, business, and anything in between!

And today, I’m diving into a solo episode to answer your burning questions. From the shifts I’m making with this podcast to your favorite health tips and business advice, we’re covering it all. So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s jump into this Q&A session!

At the end of 2023, I was feeling stuck and uninspired in my career. I was feeling like I needed to make a shift, make some pivots in my life… And although I knew what changes I needed to make, I had a ton of anxiety to actually make them, because they were a combination of big and small changes that would completely change my life.

I’m happy to report that despite being ‘scared’, I DID IT! I made small changes over time, and by the time 2024 came to a close, I had reinvented myself and my brand, and now I want to help you do it too.

If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or simply ready for a new chapter, keep listening because I’m going to share with you exactly how to reinvent yourself in 2025!

Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of raw dairy with Mark McAfee—exploring its benefits, debunking common myths, and learning about how Mark is bringing this ancient food tradition back to our tables!

Mark is an experienced dairy farmer and owner of RAW FARM, which was founded in 1998 on the belief that raw dairy products are a foundational food and could be produced safely. Since then, they have brought tested and raw dairy products across the USA. 

RAW FARM takes the most important food designed for human-kind and meticulously crafts it (but not alters it) so that our families can enjoy each savory and rich flavor. Their raw milk from seasonally grass-grazed cows is the most natural way dairy products can be produced – the same way they have naturally grazed since primal eras!

Ten years ago, I made a bold decision that altered the course of my life forever. I took a leap of faith and invested $5,000 in my first online business coach. That is a TON of money, especially at 24 years old, but really for anyone at any stage of life or business. 

It was the scariest financial commitment I had ever made. At the time, I was a personal trainer operating out of my parents' garage, driven by a burning desire for something more than the daily grind. I knew deep down that my current path wouldn't lead me to the freedom and success I craved.

However, I faced a major obstacle: my relationship with money was clouded by deep-seated fears and limiting beliefs. I was constantly worried about running out of money, and my financial decisions were driven by this fear rather than by confidence and clarity.

But that investment in my business coach marked a turning point. It forced me to confront and dismantle those limiting beliefs about money. Today, I'm here to share with you how I transformed my mindset and my life. Join me as I reveal the three powerful strategies I used to break free from scarcity thinking and pave the way to financial abundance and personal fulfillment. 

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt held back by their own beliefs about money and is ready to rewrite their financial story!

I have news for you… you’re probably making the same mistake I did and it’s ruining your income potential.

Yes, you heard me right! One of the biggest breakthroughs in my own entrepreneurship journey was realizing that simply gathering more information wasn't the solution.

Let me share a bit about my experience... I'm a lifelong learner. I love a good book, and I'll definitely have a list of podcast episodes to listen to on a road trip. But despite all this learning, I wasn’t making any money. I had pages of notes, filled notebooks, and several courses collecting dust in my inbox, yet my bank account remained stagnant.

The problem was information overload. Many of us fall into the trap of believing that the more we know, the more successful we'll be. But this is a misconception. Just learning more without taking action can create an illusion of progress, making us feel busy and productive without actually moving the needle.

Can you relate?  If so, you're not alone. In this episode, we’ll explore why more information isn't the answer and what you need to do instead to start seeing real income growth. Click play and let’s get started!

In 14 years I’ve learned a LOT about what NOT to do and what to do instead to get massive results. In this workshop, I’ll be walking you through my 3-step blueprint to go from $0 - $100k in passive income with your own digital products, courses and offers. Save your seat NOW and break through your income ceiling NOW at https://erikaauckland.myflodesk.com/passive!

In this episode, I’m sharing how I built a $10K per month online course business, even if you’re just getting started. I’ll cover the key steps to identify your most valuable skill and turn it into a profitable course, plus the importance of choosing the right niche and target market!
