When life falls apart, how do you begin again? In this deeply moving episode, Autumn sits down with Vickie Menendez, a self-described Soul Midwife, to talk about what it means to rebuild your life when everything has changed.

Vickie shares how her lived experience with profound grief, including the loss of four children at different stages of life, shaped the work she now offers others through self-care, breathwork, ritual, energy work, and nervous system support. Together, Autumn and Vickie explore what it looks like to reconnect with your true self, move through transition with more grace, and listen to the wisdom your body has been trying to share all along.

They also talk about shadow work, intuition, emotional healing, childhood patterns, and why self-care is so much deeper than surface-level habits. This conversation is especially powerful for anyone walking through grief, identity shifts, burnout, or a season where life no longer looks the way it once did.

What if living to 100 wasn’t about luck—but about how you live today?

In this episode, Autumn Carter explores the powerful lessons behind the world’s Blue Zones—regions where people don’t just live longer, they live better. We’re talking about vibrant, active, purpose-filled lives well into their 90s and beyond. But instead of overwhelming you with rigid rules, this episode invites you into something more sustainable: curiosity, awareness, and small, meaningful shifts.

You’ll walk through the core habits these communities share—from natural daily movement and a strong sense of purpose (ikigai), to stress-reducing rituals, plant-forward eating, and deeply rooted social connections. Autumn breaks down what actually matters, what might be overhyped, and how to realistically apply these insights to your own life—without guilt or perfection.

This episode also connects Blue Zone principles to the 8 dimensions of wellness, helping you see how one positive change can ripple into multiple areas of your life. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your current lifestyle, your environment, your relationships, and your future—especially how you want to age and what kind of life you want to be living decades from now.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or just not fully alive in your day-to-day… this is your nudge. Not to overhaul everything overnight—but to begin.

If you’re feeling stuck on your purpose or unsure where to start, Autumn invites you to connect and explore that together.

What if the beliefs holding you back are not facts at all—but simply old brain patterns that can be changed?

In Episode 204 of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter sits down with Adele Spraggon—award-winning author, thought leader, and expert in neuroplasticity, mindset, and transformation—to explore how negative beliefs are formed and, more importantly, how they can be undone. Together, they unpack why so many people stay stuck in thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” even after years of personal development, therapy, or trying to push harder.

Adele shares her powerful perspective that limiting beliefs are not proof that something is wrong with you. They are patterns in the brain. This conversation dives into how those patterns show up through physical sensation, emotion, and thought, why overanalyzing them can keep them alive, and how re-patterning the brain can open the door to real freedom and lasting change. Autumn also connects the conversation to parenting, coaching, trauma recovery, and the importance of speaking to ourselves with more compassion.

This episode is a deep but hopeful reminder that you are not broken, and you do not have to stay trapped in old mental loops. If you are ready to stop fighting yourself and start building new pathways forward, this one is worth a listen.

Together, Autumn and Deborah unpack what burnout can look like across different lived realities—including ADHD, autism, medical professions, and workaholic culture—plus how to spot your early warning signs before you crash.

What if low magnesium is only part of the story—and the real issue is everything your body has been carrying for too long?

In Episode 201 of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter unpacks the connection between magnesium deficiency, chronic stress, burnout, and the deeper patterns that can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, foggy, twitchy, and completely out of sync. This episode explores why magnesium gets so much attention, what low magnesium can actually feel like in the body, and why supplements alone may not solve the bigger picture.

Autumn breaks down common symptoms like muscle tension, poor sleep, heart palpitations, constipation, and feeling “wired but tired,” while also widening the lens to include nervous system dysregulation, blood sugar instability, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and emotional overload. She also shares practical support strategies, including magnesium-rich foods, meals that support a stressed-out body, Epsom salt baths and foot soaks, and simple ways to reduce stress at the root instead of only managing symptoms on the surface.

This episode is a grounded reminder that your body is not broken. It is communicating. If you have been trying to “fix” yourself with one solution while your whole system is crying out for nourishment, rest, rhythm, and recovery, this conversation will help you slow down and listen differently.

What happens when grief cracks life wide open and leads you toward a completely different kind of healing?

In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn sits down with Tracy Searight—educator, yoga teacher, Reiki Master, business owner, author, and podcaster—to explore Reiki, yoga, energy work, and the many ways healing can unfold. Tracy shares the deeply personal story behind Feather Sister, how the loss of her sister shaped her path, and how that grief eventually led her into Reiki as a tool for stress relief, self-regulation, and spiritual connection.

Together, Autumn and Tracy unpack what Reiki actually is, clear up common misconceptions, and talk about how energy healing can work alongside other supportive practices like yoga, massage, acupuncture, sound healing, and breathwork. They also dive into the importance of intention, the value of trying different healing tools, and why wellness is rarely one-size-fits-all. From Beep Beep The Yoga Jeep to laughter yoga, animal Reiki, and finding the right practice for your season of life, this conversation is full of warmth, curiosity, and practical insight.

Feeling constantly exhausted—but being told everything looks “normal”? This episode helps you finally make sense of that disconnect.

In Episode 199 of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn Carter unpacks the often-confused conversation around adrenal fatigue and burnout—what they mean, why one is medically recognized and the other isn’t, and why your experience is still valid no matter what label is used. You’ll learn how chronic stress impacts your body through the HPA axis, why your system can feel completely off even when labs come back “fine,” and how burnout goes far beyond just feeling tired.

This episode dives into the real root of what’s happening: stress system dysregulation. Autumn walks you through common signs your body is overwhelmed—from brain fog and poor sleep to feeling “wired and tired”—and helps you connect the dots between your daily habits, emotional load, and energy levels. She also reframes healing in a powerful way, shifting from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What does my body need?”

You’ll walk away with practical, supportive steps to begin restoring your rhythm—like improving sleep consistency, regulating your nervous system, reducing invisible load, and honoring your limits—plus reflective coaching questions to help you tune back into your body.

If you’re ready to stop pushing through exhaustion and start rebuilding your energy with intention, this episode is for you. Learn more and explore coaching at wellnessineveryseason.com, and connect with Autumn on Instagram @wellnessineveryseason.
