What if vulnerability isn’t weakness—but the very thing that makes you powerful, magnetic, and deeply trustworthy?

In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn explores why vulnerability feels unsafe to practice in ourselves, yet incredibly compelling when we see it in others. From childhood conditioning to survival instincts, she unpacks why so many of us equate openness with danger—and how that belief quietly keeps us disconnected, stressed, and stuck.

Through personal reflection, storytelling, and relatable examples from books, relationships, and real life, Autumn explains how vulnerability shifts communication from head-to-head to heart-to-heart. When someone speaks openly and authentically, it bypasses our mental defenses and creates genuine connection. That connection, she explains, is often what allows clarity, healing, and growth to finally happen.

This episode also weaves in the relationship between vulnerability and shame, drawing on trauma-informed insight to explain why sharing our inner experiences with safe people can dissolve the distorted narratives we carry alone. Autumn discusses how vulnerability helps us identify who is safe, how it allows us to zoom out when we’re stuck inside our own perspective, and why honest, loving “no-BS” conversations are sometimes the most supportive ones we can have.

If you’ve ever struggled to open up, feared being misunderstood, or felt disconnected from yourself or others, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate path forward—one small step at a time.

Here’s a polished, ready-to-paste Episode 175 description (150–300 words) for “How to Think and Grow Younger”, based tightly on your transcript + Jody’s intake form, with her real CTA + handles built in.

In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter sits down with Jody L. Teiche—a certified holistic health coach, homeopath, and energy medicine practitioner—who is living proof that aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down. Jody shares how she feels more vibrant and mentally sharp at 70 than she did during her high-pressure years running nonstop in New York City… and why that shift starts with what we’re repeatedly telling ourselves.

You’ll hear a powerful truth early on: we become what we think about all day. If the subconscious is constantly fed “I’m old” or “I’m falling apart,” the body often follows that script. Together, Autumn and Jody explore what it really looks like to “age backward” through a holistic lens—mind mastery, gut health, immune resilience, and nervous system repair—and why so many people (and even pets) are getting sick younger than ever.

This conversation also touches the raw reality of stress and grief when Autumn vulnerably shares her family’s recent news about their dog’s cancer diagnosis, and how this season has deepened her commitment to prevention, nourishment, and long-term quality of life.

If you’re craving a grounded, hopeful reset—one that blends science, energy, and real-life tools—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop trying to “fix” everything—especially yourself—and let wellness be simple again.

In this solo episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn shares a bit of the heart behind why she started the podcast: to “manage her fixer,” create space for people to feel safe, and offer guidance without rushing past the root of what’s really going on. From there, she dives into a practical, back-to-basics topic that’s showing up everywhere lately—saunas—and why they can be a powerful (and surprisingly accessible) support for stress recovery, detox support, and overall wellbeing.

Autumn talks through how she’s been using sauna sessions alongside her own health protocols (including supporting her body as it detoxes), and why you don’t need an expensive retreat or fancy wellness gadget to benefit. You’ll hear a simple, realistic starting point: 15 minutes, 2–3 times per week, and how to make it sustainable using tools like habit stacking, the stages of change, and small “rubber bumper” supports that keep you from falling off your routine.

And if a sauna isn’t available? Autumn offers grounded alternatives like hot Epsom salt baths, foot soaks, and magnesium support options—plus the bigger reminder: your body gives feedback when you slow down long enough to listen.
