Q&A Part 1

12/12/24 • 26 min

Ever since I got COVID in October, it’s been a rough road to recovery. I was sick for about six weeks, and it completely caught me off guard because I’m not someone who gets sick often. It’s taken me a while to replenish my energy and find balance, but this setback has forced me to recalibrate again.

Speaking of recalibrating, I recently announced my new membership program, Philosophia Society. It’s something I’ve been working on for weeks, and I shared a preview on Instagram, which, of course, sparked a bit of controversy. But here’s the thing—I’m committed to sharing what I’ve learned, even if it’s not for everyone.

Philosophia Society is for women who are hungry for wisdom and ready to explore health, wellness, and spirituality on a deeper level. The name itself - philosophia - means the love of wisdom. It’s about moving beyond surface-level health advice and connecting to our purpose and power as women.

So, as we wrap up the year, I decided to lean into a new mini-series, starting off with a Q&A from some of our most recent episodes. One question I’ve been getting a lot is about how social media impacts us as women and mothers. I believe that social media can subtly manipulate our subconscious minds through images, words, and music, shaping our beliefs and behaviors without us realizing it.

Another topic I’ve been exploring is the Divine Feminine and its resurgence in today’s world. Wisdom, or “Sophia,” represents the feminine aspect of divinity that has been hidden and suppressed for so long. I believe we’re witnessing a return of this energy, and it’s awakening women everywhere to reclaim their power.

The Phoenix Rising, Perimenopause & Menopause

Today, we are diving into the often overlooked but crucial topic of how societal pressures can impact our self-perception, especially as we age and approach menopause. Modern media perpetuates unrealistic standards of youth and beauty, which can have damaging effects on our self-esteem, correlating youth with our true value.

Youthfulness is often glorified in the media while completely dismissing the natural and beautiful process of aging. This cultural obsession with staying young can lead many women to feel disconnected from their bodies and fearful of the natural aging process and its connotation with death.

Women should be encouraged to honor their bodies, understand their unique hormonal rhythms, and embrace the natural changes that come with aging. True well-being goes beyond just physical health—it involves a deeper connection with ourselves and a commitment to living in harmony with nature.

I’m so excited to share this episode with you, and I know you’re going to glean so much wisdom and a new outlook on embracing the aging process and menopause. Tune in today!

Next Episode

Q&A Part 2

Welcome back to part two of our Q&A! In this episode, I reflect on the journey that led my podcast to its current focus: exploring the profound connections between nutrition, health, and religion. Over the years, I’ve noticed patterns in the women I serve—patterns that point to something deeper than just physiology.

As part of this journey, I’ve been questioning cultural narratives around femininity and challenging some of the archetypes that dominate our society. From the hyper-sexualized “free spirit” to the submissive “Christian wife,” many of these roles are out of alignment with true feminine energy. Unfortunately, we’ve lost touch with the art of womanhood—an experience that goes far beyond domestic skills to encompass a deep connection with our bodies and our essence.

We dive into a question concerning weight loss, particularly the societal and generational factors influencing women’s relationships with their bodies. Beyond physical factors like metabolic health and toxin storage, psychological patterns and belief systems can drive the body’s resistance to weight loss.

Quick fixes, such as weight-loss drugs, often bypass the body’s natural safety mechanisms, which can have unintended long-term consequences. Instead, I advocate for holistic approaches that address both the physical and emotional aspects of health, including hypnotherapy to explore subconscious drivers.

As we embrace the holiday season, I encourage you to enjoy the opportunity that Christmas presents to be present with your family, be generous, and practice gratitude. See you in the next one!
