What if the conversations you fear most are actually the doorway to deeper connection?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Kate Russell - a mediator with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate the moments we tend to avoid: the hard talks, the simmering tension, the workplace or family conflict that keeps you awake at 2am replaying every word.

Kate believes conflict isn't a sign something is broken - it's a sign something matters. And in this conversation, she shares how to turn those uncomfortable moments into opportunities for clarity, confidence and stronger relationships.

We dive into her journey into mediation, how she reframes conflict, and her practical tools for bringing up tricky conversations without triggering defensiveness.

Kate covers how to lower the temperature when things get heated, navigating conflict over text or email, and why curiosity is the most underrated relationship skill.

This episode is full of grounded, compassionate wisdom to help you communicate more openly, lead more strongly and stay connected even when things get uncomfortable.

If you've ever wished for better tools to navigate tricky conversations and conflict, this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr Thomas Cowan - one of the most influential and controversial voices in holistic medicine. Known for challenging conventional ideas about contagion, water, and even the root cause of heart attacks and stroke, Dr Cowan brings a depth of wisdom that invites us to question everything we thought we knew about health.

We explore what led him to break away from the mainstream narrative, why he believes germs aren't the enemy, what "healthy water" actually is, and the tools he uses to help the body and environment thrive. He also shares a radically different view of heart attacks and strokes, the daily practices he recommends for true heart health, and the surprising amount of water we really need.

If you're ready for a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens doors to new ways of understanding the body, this episode is for you.

Today's episode dives deep into a topic that so many women silently navigate — anxiety, control, and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. I'm joined by Dr Kaitlin N. Harkess — Clinical Psychologist, author of The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management.

Kaitlin blends psychology, yoga, and meditation to help people reconnect with their bodies and truly heal from the inside out. In this conversation, we explore what it really means when "the issues are in your tissues," how anxiety can show up emotionally, mentally, and physically, and why somatic healing is a missing piece for so many of us.

We'll unpack the driving forces behind control, what happens when we keep pushing through stress, and the first step to regulating your nervous system and building resilience — even when life feels out of control.

So if you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or ready to finally come home to your body… this episode is for you.

Let's dive in. 💫
