Today, I’m bringing you the final episode in the Heresy Heals series and arguably one of the most touchy subjects in today’s society - asking questions and being a heretic concerning restrictive diets. There are so many diets that are on the rise, and subsequently the fall, that we are supposed to subscribe to as the next best thing for our health based on what the talking heads in the health and wellness space are telling us.

In this episode:

[01:50] We wrap up our Heresy Heals Series with episode #4 today.
[09:41] Do I still follow a pro-metabolic diet?
[14:36] Why I created Fully Nourished.
[19:41] The shift that happens when we focus on your unique metabolic journey with the focus on nourishment.
[28:26] Finding what works best for you outside of the dogma that has been defined.
[31:46] Why does our feminine nature make us more susceptible to dieting frameworks?
[42:59] How do we return to ourselves and meet our needs?
[46:17] Why is orienting ourselves with our environment so important?
[49:23] Exercise is essential to help us be on a better vibrational frequency.
[51:52] Thanks for joining me on The Fully Nourished Podcast today!

This episode is focused on the relationships and community we find in other women and how these bonds have been damaged. In today’s society, most women are in a state of burnout or wearing a more masculine mask as a defense mechanism - neither of which provides a conducive environment for making and building relationships with other women.

In this episode:

[01:50] We continue our Heresy Heals Series with Part 3 today.
[04:00] Our constant search for safety behind a masculine mask keeps us from being seen and building friendships.
[12:49] As women, our basic desire is to be seen and heard and to be safe while being seen and heard.
[15:31] We all carry our own vibrations, and we attract the energy we are putting out.
[17:25] The mistake of expecting your partner to fill the void of female connection.
[19:10] We have a deep need for a community of other women.
[22:16] We need to shift our perspective when seeking female connections to understand where other women are coming from.
[23:59] The concept of Intersexual Competition.
[28:39] Exercising caution when seeking friends to ensure you are avoiding women in a state of competition.
[32:32] We should be praying to our creator for friends instead of actively seeking friends.
[34:16] Shift your focus to connecting with women who share your values.
[39:49] Approach your relationships from the perspective of giving. Focus on what you can give instead of what you can receive.
[42:40] Periods of loneliness in your life are often lessons.

We continue our Heresy Heals series with Part 2 in this episode. We are deep diving into the roots of the word “Heresy,” and what it actually means and how it’s not as bad as the word has come to be understood.

Ultimately, the root of heresy is finding your own way to the truth that is meant for you. Truth is not absolute, and we often forget that part of seeing the perspectives and truths of others is how we grow and expand as individuals.

As women, we always carry our feminine energy, and I’m dropping the phrase “getting into your feminine energy.” We always have feminine energy; it is integrated into our physiology. The big thing we have to remember is that everything is about balance. Feminine energy isn’t the only thing we need to focus on, and masculine energy isn’t “bad.” Maintaining a balance of masculine energy and feminine energy within our being is how we can protect and nourish ourselves simultaneously.

This episode is full of so much information on how we can better balance the masculine and feminine energies within us, as well as finding our own truth and carving our own path throughout our experience and interaction with our creator. I know you’re going to love it. Tune in now!

In this episode:

[00:45] We continue our Heresy Heals Series with Part 2 today.
[03:31] The power of words and a deep dive into the word “Heresy.”
[08:32] Finding the truth for yourself as opposed to choosing either black or white extremes.
[10:45] Truth is infinite.
[14:27] The mistakes that are being made in the health and wellness space and the truth they are missing out on.
[20:34] Using your imagination is a critical component to resonating with our feminine energy.
[23:00] The misconceptions of feminine energy in the current society and why they completely miss the mark.
[25:45] I’m dropping the phrase, “getting into your feminine energy.”
[30:01] The roots of the word “Gender.”
[32:31] Reflections of masculine and feminine energy within our creator.
[37:59] The continuum of masculine and feminine energy.
[46:32] Nourishing our bodies and the feminine energy within us and making way for expansion in our lives.
[51:38] We need to Mother ourselves.

Nourishment goes so much deeper than just the food we eat. I’ve talked in my other episodes about how we can nourish ourselves on a deeper level to really step into our feminine radiance, and one of those ways that we haven’t explored is spiritual nourishment.

Everyone will have a different experience on their journey for truth, but I wanted to share some of what I experienced when I decided to step back from organized religion and leave the church. When we are affiliated with specific religions' doctrines and trying to live by the code, we can easily miss some of the elements that I believe our creator destined for us.


In this episode:

[00:02:20] Welcome to the beginning of a 4-part series: Heresy Heals.
[00:04:03] After Heresy Heals, I want to spend the rest of the summer answering your questions!
[00:06:02] Nourishing our spirits with the truth is a crucial part of our nutrition and overall nourishment.
[00:10:32] What I have learned in my quest for truth.
[00:18:32] The masculine and feminine dynamics of creation.
[00:21:17] My spiritual journey, leaving the church, and the quest for truth I experienced.
[00:32:41] What did Jesus study, and who taught him?
[00:47:56] Some background on Christian Mysticism and debunking the term “New Age.”
[00:51:46] Why physical energy and nourishment are key for us to focus on spiritual nourishment.
[00:53:38] Holding space for creation to come to fruition
[01:04:29] Thanks for joining me today on The Fully Nourished Podcast! Be sure to tune in next week for part 2!

Today’s episode is so interesting and so insightful with my guest, Libby Wescombe!

Libby was born into and raised in a cult in Thailand. Around puberty, she began to ask questions and see that the teachings in the cult weren’t quite aligned with what she felt was true in the real world. At 21 she made the decision to leave and move to Australia.

With very little tools for success in the real world, Libby struggled to rebuild her life, find work, buy food, all while navigating being a single mom. She found solace in joining a gym that allowed her to take control over an area of her life and found her passion in fitness by eventually becoming a trainer. Libby is now a very popular face in the fitness world,

Detoxing has become such a marketing fad that I think we have lost the meaning and importance of the word and what it actually means for our bodies. In truth, the true ways to detox don’t revolve around a certain supplement or tea or product. Detox begins within.

There are three main things you can be doing to support your body’s systems for detoxification and that is general nourishment with nutrient rich foods, regular bowel movements, and reducing stress.

Tune in to this episode to hear more about how your body is detoxing every single day and what you can do to support that, as well as a few anecdotal examples and some of my favorite detox practices!

In this episode:

[00:00:46] Let’s talk about detoxification
[00:08:09] Fad language surrounding detox activities.
[00:14:38] Seasonal cycles that impact the body and it’s ability to detox.
[00:22:10] The body’s way of inviting detoxification.
[00:29:31] Functionality of the lymphatic system and how it supports detoxification.
[00:33:01] The vicious cycle of toxins in fat storage and weight loss.
[00:39:50] Key pointers to encourage your body’s internal detoxification processes.
[00:44:05] Follow the lead of your body to support detoxification.
[01:11:14] I’m bringing clay packs back into the spotlight!

Skincare is such an exhausting journey for women all over the world, and we are often left sifting through tons of products and wasted money only to find that nothing is really working for our skin.

So what gives?

In this episode, I’m speaking with Sara Sumic, molecular biologist, skincare specialist, and former acne sufferer, about why so many women are struggling to find the skincare routine that fits them and that the solution isn’t more skincare – it’s less.

While we have tried to preserve and enhance our skin with the thousands of products on the market, we aren’t realizing just how many ingredients we are putting on our skin on a daily basis with these rigid routines.

To be able to reap the full benefits of any skincare product, you have to heal your skin barrier and that process is more than skin deep. Your skin is the last to heal, and without a nourished body, you won’t find that radiant, glowing skin you’re looking for.

Sara and I hit on so many major skincare topics in this episode, like sunscreen, blue light, and the use of tallow and other oils, and how each of these has a different impact on your skin. You won’t want to miss this episode.

In this episode:

[00:00:45] Thanks for joining me on The Fully Nourished Podcast.
[00:06:56] Sara shares her personal skincare journey.
[00:13:58] What is the skin barrier?
[00:15:11] Functions that the skin barrier should be performing naturally without interference.
[00:17:55] How hormonal medications, restrictive eating, and fad diets can impact your skin.
[00:20:12] Common mistakes that you are making that are perpetuating your acne.
[00:23:10] The lipids that are present in the skin barrier and how tallow or other oils can impact these lipids.
[00:28:30] Does your skincare routine need to be rigid and structured?
[00:30:41] The process of transitioning to a skin-balancing routine.
[00:34:01] The link between acne and linoleic acid deficiency.
[00:40:20] Impacts of seasonal changes and environmental pollutants on the skin.
[00:44:05] Impacts of the sun and blue light on our skin.
[00:49:53] Dietary impacts on our skin.
[00:57:42] Specific symptoms to look for to identify if you have a damaged skin barrier.

My hair care journey has been exactly that, a journey. I’ve made so many mistakes when it comes to my hair, but I’ve finally found the right path to see growth and beauty both within my hair and myself. If you’re ready to start using your hair care routine as a way to give yourself space to breathe life and joy back into your body, then listen in!

So often when we talk about our hair, we’re talking about what’s going wrong and how to fix it. Whether it’s having bad hair days, thinning, hair loss, or breakage, we’re always looking for the quick fix and if it’s natural, even better.

But your hair is usually the last thing in your health and wellness journey to show positive change.

As I started healing my metabolism, finally getting out of burnout, fixing my hormones, and changing the environment that I live in, my hair went through a bunch of changes… not all of them good.

One of the biggest mistakes I made with my own hair was not knowing my true hair type. This goes beyond having curly hair or straight, fine or thick, blonde or brown. Do you know your hair porosity?

I didn’t.

And when it comes to hair products, your porosity makes a huge difference.

Want to learn more? Listen in and hear all about my journey and what you consider as you start looking at your hair care routine and products.

In this episode:

[00:46] It’s time to add to the conversation about natural hair care.
[03:22] The state of our hair is closely related to our internal health.
[06:31] When you experience hair loss your energy shifts… in a bad way.
[08:31] Don't neglect your hair.
[23:08] Learn more about my personal hair journey.
[25:14] Scalp health and hair health are two different things.
[26:00] No matter what changes you’re making, if something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself.
[29:51] Pay attention to what your products are doing over time as well.
[32:19] Even if you’re crunchy, you don’t have to be crusty.
[33:38] Things I wish I would have known before trying to go all natural with my hair care.
[36:10] Your environment matters when it comes to hair care.
[40:21] What hair porosity is and how it impacts your hair care.
[44:36] If you have super hard or soft water, try soaking your hair with distilled water before showering.
[46:16] What it really means when a brand says it’s “sulfate free”.
[53:00] The hair care routine that is working for my hair.
[57:00] Let’s start focusing on resilience over fear.
