    234. Financial Scarcity, Debt, and Shame: How to Start Fresh with Natalia Brown (National Debt Relief)
    May 22 2025
    I know firsthand how heavy financial scarcity can feel—especially when you’re dealing with debt. It’s not just numbers on a screen; it’s fear, shame, and anxiety that can leave you frozen in place. In this episode, I’m joined by Natalia Brown, Chief Compliance and Consumer Affairs Officer at National Debt Relief, who not only brings professional expertise, but powerful lived experience growing up in Harlem and navigating financial hardship herself. We talk about the real, raw emotional toll of debt—from the societal stigma to the psychological patterns that keep us stuck. Natalia breaks down predatory lending, payday loan traps, and how to know if debt consolidation or settlement is right for you. We also dive into something so many of us feel but rarely name: financial dysmorphia. This episode is full of judgment-free, actionable advice on how to reclaim your financial power and begin again—with clarity, compassion, and a solid plan.

    232. Overcoming Anxiety to Find Your Purpose with Dr. Martha Beck
    May 12 2025
    In a world that’s constantly demanding more, learning how to quiet anxiety and reconnect with your purpose has never been more important. In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Martha Beck—bestselling author and speaker who Oprah calls “the smartest woman she knows”—to talk about something that affects so many of us: anxiety. But not just how it shows up in our lives—more importantly, how to understand it, move through it with kindness, and use it as a compass toward discovering your true purpose. Dr. Beck drops wisdom on the neuroscience of anxiety, the traps of our left-brain-dominated society, and how small acts of kindness (toward ourselves!) can lead to massive transformation. From her radical year of living without lies to the science of shaking out stress, this episode is filled with both aha moments and practical tools to move from panic to peace.

    230. 5 Practices to Find More Joy with Dr. Judith Joseph
    May 5 2025
    If you've been feeling burned out, emotionally drained, or like you're just going through the motions, this episode is for you. I sat down with board-certified psychiatrist and author Dr. Judith Joseph, and what started as a conversation about high-functioning depression turned into a much bigger discussion—about joy, trauma, people-pleasing, burnout, and the societal pressure to always be "on." Dr. Joseph breaks down the science of why so many of us feel stuck in cycles of overachieving and under-feeling—and how to break free from it. We’re not just talking theory—we’re talking real, actionable practices. Dr. Joseph shares her five-part framework to help you reconnect with what truly matters and reclaim your joy, even in the middle of a busy, demanding life.

  • 229. The Cost of Period Pain: Hormones, Endo, PCOS, and More with Kate Helen Downey

    229. The Cost of Period Pain: Hormones, Endo, PCOS, and More with Kate Helen Downey
    Apr 28 2025
    Let’s be real — periods are a huge part of life for millions of us, but we’re still taught to suffer through the pain, stay quiet about the discomfort, and not ask too many questions. In today’s episode, I'm joined by Kate Helen Downey, host of the incredible podcast CRAMPED, who is on a mission to change that. We’re getting into everything you should have been taught about your body but probably weren’t –– the truth about hormones, the reality of living with endometriosis (endo) and PCOS, why the system isn’t built for menstruating bodies, and how period pain is affecting our wallets, careers, and overall health. If you’ve ever wondered whether your pain is "normal" (hint: if it’s wrecking your day, it’s not!), or felt dismissed by doctors when you tried to get answers, this conversation will make you feel seen. We’re breaking down the phases of your hormonal cycle, what debilitating period symptoms might be telling you, and why advocating for your health — even when the system is stacked against you — is an act of radical self-care.
