  • Medical Gaslighting, Lyme & Learning to Trust Yourself with Mauryah Burattini | EP40
    Mar 10 2026

    What if the symptoms you’ve been told to ignore are actually your body begging you to listen?

    In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Mauryah Burattini for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, critical thinking, and learning how to truly advocate for your own health. Mariah opens up about being sick since childhood, the moment she realized the medical system wasn’t giving her the full picture, and how that led her into a deep journey of holistic healing. We talk about intuition, toxins, mold, nervous system regulation, foundational wellness, and why healing often starts with tiny, intentional choices.

    This episode is such an eye-opening reminder that you are allowed to question, to dig deeper, and to take your health back into your own hands.

  • Are You Living Someone Else’s Script? with Adam Guzman-Poole | EP 39
    Feb 17 2026

    In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Adam for a powerful conversation about breaking free from life scripts, trusting your inner knowing, and choosing the path that is actually yours. Adam shares his wild journey from an apprenticeship with traditional medicine people in the Amazon rainforest to taking a more “conventional” route into psychology, and why freedom is an inside job before it’s ever an outside one. We talk about the messy liminal space between who you were and who you’re becoming, how to build a real relationship with yourself, and why one minute of stillness can change everything.

    _____________________________________

    Episode Highlights: heart vs head, inner whispers, breaking life scripts, liminal space, identity death and rebirth, self-love as an investment, meditation in micro doses, journaling for clarity, nature as a nervous system reset, freedom as an inner game


    Topics Discussed

    • The “war” between certainty and inner truth
    • Liminal space and the discomfort of becoming
    • Self-love as the foundation for healthy relationships and purpose
    • Why giving from depletion leads to burnout
    • Meditation, journaling, and nature as practical tools for clarity
    • Freedom as inner peace regardless of external circumstances

  • We’re Numbing Ourselves and Calling It Normal with Luciana Santaguida | EP 38
    Feb 3 2026

    What if your next “best night ever” didn’t include alcohol… and you still left feeling HIGH on life?

    In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Luciana Santaguida for a powerful conversation about sober-curious spaces, music as medicine, and what it really means to create community with intention. We talk about why so many festivals and concerts normalize disconnection, and how Luciana is flipping the script with consciously curated events like Sunflower Garden Fest in Toronto. She shares her personal journey of walking away from partying after vocal nodules forced her to heal, and how purpose (and faith) became the catalyst for everything she’s built. If you’ve been feeling called to change your habits, find your people, or take a leap you can’t stop thinking about… this one will hit.
