Trust Issues: A Lifestyle, Business & Wellness Podcast with Erika Auckland – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

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!

Should you send your child to daycare? If you asked my guest today, she’d say absolutely NOT.

She’s also the author of several books, including Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters and has appeared on major media networks such as CBS, ABC, FOX, and NPR.

I first discovered Erica’s work on Instagram – she was interviewed on Alex Clark’s “The Spillover Podcast” and I came across a clip on her feed of Erica talking about the emotional effects of sending infants to daycare, and I just knew I had to have her on the show.

Today, we are diving deep into one of my favorite topics:  preparing for pregnancy! My guest, Loren Sofia of Innate Fertility, has played a significant role in my own pregnancy journey and I can’t wait for you to hear her insights on what most doctors don’t tell you, how to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy, and nourishing your body through postpartum!

After healing herself from the birth control pill Loren knew she wanted to empower both women and men with the tools and knowledge to optimize their fertility and wellbeing, putting their best food forward as they step into a thriving pregnancy, a resilient postpartum, and joyful parenthood.

Her methodology is rooted in deep understanding and respect for the physiology of the body, combining the wisdom of traditional nutrition with a bio-energetic, pro-metabolic, and bio-individual approach.

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.
