• EP 47: The Joy Revival Series: Reclaiming Your Pleasure with Julia Casillas

    What if everything you were taught about your sexuality was wrong, and what if the shame you've been carrying isn't yours to keep? In this episode, we sit down with Julia Casillas, sex coach for midlife women and couples, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why so many women feel broken, disconnected, and like it's "too late" for them, and what it actually looks like to come back to yourself.

    Julia shares her winding, fascinating path to this work, from a polarized upbringing with mixed messages about sex, to exotic dancing, energy healing, dominatrix training, and ultimately becoming a certified sex coach. And she makes a compelling case that the way back to joy, creativity, and aliveness isn't as complicated (or as scary) as it sounds.

    Whether you're kink-curious, feeling numb, or just sense that something is missing, this conversation is for you.


    Julia is a Certified Kink Informed Sex Coach through AASECT Approved Sexual Health Alliance. She is your guide to help you unleash your innate power through radical truth-telling, especially the uncomfortable, messy, and fierce truths society has taught you to silence. Through our work, you can reclaim your sexuality and break free from the ā€˜good girlā€™ and ā€˜bad girlā€™ masks to discover what you truly desire.

    Drawing from her own journey of sexual healing and awakening, Julia creates a space where you can learn that your most powerful truth might be a whispered ā€˜yes,ā€™ a bold ā€˜no,ā€™ or an unapologetic ā€˜F you.ā€™ Her mission is to help you shed sexual shame, reclaim your right to pleasure in and out of the bedroom and help you discover that your authentic power flows not from playing by the rules, but from honoring your deepest truths.

  • EP 46: The Joy Revival Series: The Power of a Rockstar Mindset with Anna Wilson

    What if the reason every diet has failed you isn't your willpower; it's your identity? In this episode, we sit down with Anna Wilson, certified fitness and nutrition coach, former nurse, and founder of Rock That Fitness, to talk about why so many women stay stuck in the cycle of losing and regaining weight, and what it actually takes to break free for good.

    Anna shares her own remarkable story: at 46, over 60 pounds overweight, she made a decision that changed everything. But what she discovered wasn't just a better fitness plan; it was a completely different way of thinking about herself. Now at 55, she's helping thousands of women do the same.

    This episode is equal parts practical and deeply personal, and it will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about getting healthy.


    Anna Wilson is an Online Coach, Registered Nurse, and founder of Rock That Fitness, where she helps women over 40 build strong bodies, powerful minds, and deeply fulfilling lives.

    After losing over 60 pounds and transforming her own health in her 40s, Anna discovered that true transformation goes far beyond physical results. Today, she helps women break free from all-or-nothing thinking, reconnect with themselves, and create sustainable habits that support both their body and their joy.

    Her work blends strength training, nutrition, and identity-based mindset coaching to help women show up with more energy, confidence, and fulfillmentā€”in their health, their relationships, and their lives.

  • EP 45: The Joy Revival Series: Somatic Healing and Returning to Your Body with Amy Shine

    What if joy isn't something you find outside of yourself, but something you unlock from within? In this episode, we sit down with Amy Shine, somatic healing practitioner and movement coach, for a fascinating conversation about how the body holds the key to healing, why so many women are living in "functional freeze" without even knowing it, and how intentional movement can create the kind of ecstatic joy most of us have been searching for everywhere else.

    Amy shares her own remarkable journey, from a dark mental health crisis at 21, to dancing alone on a golf course in Ireland, to discovering five rhythms movement and experiencing a level of joy she'd only previously known from drugs. Now she helps women come back to their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and access the aliveness that's been there all along.

    What's here will shift the way you think about your body, your stress, and what healing actually looks like. There was simply too much to cover in an hour, so I hope to have Amy back for another episode.Ā

    What's really holding you back, and what would it take to finally move forward? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rachel Lee, consultant clinical psychologist and founder of Born to Be Bold, for a rich, practical conversation about why ambitious women get stuck, what imposter syndrome is really about, and how to build the kind of boldness that actually lasts.

    Dr. Rachel made her own bold move in 2022 when she left a 20-year career in the NHS to set up her private practice; and she did it scared, with all the anxious thoughts and late-night worries that come with a big leap. Now she helps successful, driven women do the same: stretch into the next version of themselves, trust their inner wisdom, and take courageous action in line with what truly matters to them.

    If you've ever felt held back, stuck, or like you need to "feel ready" before you can move forward, this episode will shift something for you.

    What happens when you've checked every box - career, marriage, kids - and still feel like something is missing? In this episode, we sit down with life coach and founder of Pines & Soul, Priscila Stein, to talk about one of the most common struggles women face: losing themselves in the process of taking care of everyone else.

    Priscila shares her own journey from feeling disconnected and overwhelmed to rediscovering joy through nature, adventure, and inner work; and how she now helps other women do the same through hiking groups, retreats, and one-on-one coaching.

    If you've ever asked yourself, "Where am I in all of this?" ā€” this episode is for you.


    Priscila (known as "Pri") is originally from Brazil and now lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, Claudio, and their two adventure-loving kids.Ā 

    She has a full time corporate job and loves to travel and since 2021 shares their family's Pacific Northwest adventures and love for the outdoors on their family Instagram account.

    In 2022, she started joining womenā€™s adventure trips and has experienced firsthand the power of adventure and connection to spark transformation, helping her rediscover the fearless adventurer within.

    In 2024, she became a certified Adult Chair Life Coach and now, through Pines and Souls, helps women get unstuck, build confidence, and step into the lives and dreams they've been longing for through the healing power of nature.

  • EP 42: Pleasure, Permission, and the Power of Curiosity with Julia Casillas

    In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Iā€™m joined by sex coach and sexologist Julia Casillas to explore the transformative role of pleasure in rebuilding self-trust, connection, and emotional freedom. Together, we unpack why so many women feel disconnected from pleasure, how shame quietly shapes our choices and relationships, and why giving yourself permission to feel, to want, and to be is the first step toward healing.

    Julia is a Certified Kink Informed Sex Coach through AASECT Approved Sexual Health Alliance. She is your guide to help you unleash your innate power through radical truth-telling, especially the uncomfortable, messy, and fierce truths society has taught you to silence.

    ā€œNature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.ā€ - Terence McKenna

  • EP 41: Your Truth is Not My Truth

    In this episode, I'm diving into the wild and powerful concept of perception - how nothing ā€œout thereā€ actually changes, yet everything can shift when we change the way we look at it. From a too-small kitchen that suddenly felt just right, to movies, books, restaurants, and even arguments that spark totally different reactions in different people, this episode explores how our past experiences, expectations, moods, and wounds shape what we see as ā€œtruth.ā€

    I talk about how perception fuels conflict, how small language shifts (like using ā€œIā€ statements) can transform communication, and why curiosity creates connection while judgment creates division. This episode is an invitation to notice when youā€™re presenting your experience as fact, to get curious about your reactions, and to remember that your truth is not the only truth; itā€™s simply yours.

  • EP 40: When is YOUR New Year

    In this grounding and reflective solo episode, I explore the pressure so many of us feel around New Yearā€™s resolutions, productivity, and the belief that January 1st is the moment weā€™re supposed to ā€œstart over.ā€ I gently challenge that conditioning and invite you to reconnect with your own natural rhythm instead of societyā€™s timeline.

    I talk about New Yearā€™s traditions, productivity culture, rest, seasonal energy, and why feeling unmotivated or low at the start of the year doesnā€™t mean youā€™re failing. I share why resolutions often donā€™t work, how comparison disconnects us from ourselves, and why growth can be quiet, internal, and still deeply meaningful.

    This episode is for anyone who feels behind, pressured, or ā€œnot enoughā€ when a new year begins ā€” and is ready to release expectations that no longer serve them.

    In this episode, youā€™ll learn:

    ā€¢ Why January 1st doesnā€™t have to be your new beginning

    ā€¢ How cultural conditioning shapes our relationship with productivity and success

    ā€¢ Why resolutions often fail and why intentions feel more supportive

    ā€¢ How rest is an essential part of growth, not a lack of it

    ā€¢ Why productivity looks different in different seasons of life

    ā€¢ How comparison pulls you out of alignment with yourself

    ā€¢ How to identify when your personal ā€œnew yearā€ actually is

    ā€¢ Simple ways to honor your energy without guilt or pressure


    Ā Mentioned in This Episode

    I reference an episode that really stayed with me:

    Call Me When You Get This ā€” Episode 6: Stop Trying to Be Productive All the Time.

    Itā€™s a beautiful reminder that growth happens in seasons ā€” even when it isnā€™t visible.

  • EP 38: Growth Over Getting Over It

    In this powerful and heart-centered solo episode, we explore why ā€œgetting over itā€ is not the path to real healing ā€” and how choosing growth creates lasting change. This conversation gently invites you to slow down, feel what you feel, and move through life transitions with compassion instead of pressure.

    We talk about heartbreak, loss, major life changes, and the quiet ways we often try to run from our pain. You will learn why distraction is not the same as healing, how growth asks for honesty instead of rushing, and what it truly means to integrate your experiences instead of suppressing them.

    This episode is for anyone who has felt the pressure to ā€œmove on,ā€ but knows deep down they need space to truly heal.

    In this episode, youā€™ll learn:

    ā€¢ Why ā€œgetting over itā€ often delays real healing

    ā€¢ How distraction can keep emotional wounds unhealed

    ā€¢ What healthy growth looks like after loss and change

    ā€¢ How to feel your feelings without getting stuck in them

    ā€¢ Why healing has no timeline and does not need to be rushed

    ā€¢ How to recognize when you are truly healing, not just coping

    ā€¢ Simple ways to support yourself through grief and emotional transitions

    ā€¢ Why growth is about becoming, not going back

  • EP 37: Lessons from the Trees: Resilience, Rest & Re-Rooting Yourself

    In this gentle, grounding solo episode, I explore the unexpected ā€” yet deeply human ā€” wisdom we can learn from trees. From the underground networks that nourish them, to the rings that reveal their hardest seasons, to the way they rest, adapt, and grow toward the light, trees mirror so much of what we move through in our own healing journeys.

    We talk about connection, boundaries, resilience, letting go, and why so much of your growth is happening in the places no one can see yet. This episode is a reminder that youā€™re not behind, youā€™re not broken, and youā€™re not meant to do life alone. Youā€™re growing ā€” in your own time, in your own way.

    This conversation is for anyone whoā€™s in a tender season, rebuilding after loss, or learning to trust themselves again.

    In this episode, youā€™ll learn:

    ā€¢ Why trees thrive in community ā€” and what that teaches us about receiving support.

    ā€¢ How your ā€œgrowth ringsā€ reflect the seasons that shaped you.

    ā€¢ What fall shows us about releasing what no longer serves us.

    ā€¢ Why rest is not regression, but preparation for your next season.

    ā€¢ How trees grow around obstacles ā€” and why resilience isnā€™t about bouncing back.

    ā€¢ A new way to understand emotional wounds and the scars that make you stronger.

    ā€¢ Why following your own light (not comparison) leads to aligned growth.

    In this warm, honest conversation, Tracy Brown and I explore why so many of us answer ā€œIā€™m fineā€ when weā€™re not ā€” and what it costs us to keep pretending. We trace the roots of that reflex back to childhood, talk about practical ways to begin feeling what youā€™re feeling (hand-on-heart, voice memos, journaling, micro-practices), and offer gentle, doable next steps for creating safer emotional space in relationships and daily life. This episode is for anyone who wants to stop abandoning themselves and start reclaiming their emotional truth.

    In this episode, youā€™ll learn

    • Why we say ā€œIā€™m fineā€ and how it quietly creates distance from ourselves and others.
    • Gentle ways to start feeling again, hand-on-heart, breathwork, journaling, or quick voice memos.
    • How naming emotions (ā€œname it to tame itā€) helps you find clarity and calm.
    • How to Ask for What You Need and Create Space to Listen Without Fixing
    • The bodyā€™s signals of suppression and simple ways to release stuck energy.
    • A real story of how emotional honesty can bring deeper connection and healing.

  • 35. From Avoidance to Awareness: Lessons from My 28-Year-Old Self

    In this solo episode, I close out the Woman Emerged series by sharing one of my most personal stories: my divorce at 28.

    Back then, I thought I was moving on by staying busy, dating, and distracting myself. But the truth is, I was avoiding my emotions, had lost my identity, and didnā€™t understand boundaries or self-care. Looking back now with compassion, I see how those years shaped me and led me to the self-awareness and emotional intelligence I have today.

    I also reflect on the incredible women I spoke with throughout this series and the resilience they showed in their own journeys. For me, the word emerge captures what happens when we rise from adversityā€”not as the same person we were, but as someone stronger, more authentic, and more aware.

    In This Episode, I Share:

    • How I avoided my feelings during my divorce and what I learned from it
    • Why distraction doesnā€™t heal painā€”it only delays it
    • What self-care, boundaries, and identity looked like for me then (and now)
    • How unprocessed emotions show up later in life if we donā€™t face them
    • Why resilience and sharing our stories are so important in healing


    If youā€™ve ever been through a breakup, loss, or any big life transition, I hope my story helps you feel less aloneā€”and reminds you that healing is possible.

  • 32. Woman Emerged Series: From Struggle to Strength: A Motherā€™s Story of Healing and Self-Discovery


    Cindi DuMond, is no stranger to deep transformation. A former nurse and funeral director turned Certified Adult ChairĀ® Master Coach, Cindiā€™s story began with a motherā€™s devotion. When her daughter became chronically ill with a controversial Lyme diagnosis, Cindi walked away from her nursing career to become her full-time caregiver ā€” only to be abandoned by her family during her most vulnerable season.

    What followed was a spiritual and emotional reckoning ā€” one that would lead her to The Adult ChairĀ® model, sacred self-trust, and ultimately, her lifeā€™s work: guiding others from emotional overwhelm to embodied peace.

    She now helps high-performing professionals, caregivers, and families move from despair to repair with presence, purpose, and deep compassion.

    When her daughterā€™s health collapsed, so did the life Cindi had built around being the caregiver, the fixer, the strong one. She left her job as a nurse to care for her child, only to be met with skepticism and silence ā€” even from her own family.

    But within the grief and abandonment, Cindi began asking deeper questions:

    • Who am I now that Iā€™m not helping everyone else?
    • What do I do with this pain I canā€™t outrun?

    ļ»æ

    These questions led her to The Adult ChairĀ® model, a trauma-informed approach that taught her how to regulate her emotions, reconnect with herself, and reimagine her future.

    Now, Cindi is a leading voice in grief literacy and emotional resilience, showing others how to reclaim their identity ā€” not in spite of loss, but through it.

  • 29. Sitting With Grief

    In this heartfelt solo episode, I share my recent reflections on grief. From the gut-wrenching experience of losing our beloved dog, Cheyenne, to attending memorials for both a childhood friend and a young child, grief has been surrounding me, and itā€™s made me think deeply about what it means and how we move through it.

    Grief is often painted as pure sadness, but as I talk about in this episode, itā€™s so much more than that. Itā€™s weird and beautiful, painful and even joyful. Itā€™s rooted in love. If youā€™ve ever lost someone, a person or a pet, I hope this conversation makes you feel seen. I also share what helped me support my kids through their first real experience with loss and how we can hold space for others who are grieving, without trying to fix it.

  • 28. What do We Expect?

    In this heartfelt solo episode, Iā€™m peeling back the layers on something so many of us wrestle with expectations we place on ourselves. If youā€™ve ever found yourself caught in a loop of doing more, being more, and still feeling like itā€™s not enoughā€¦ youā€™re not alone. Iā€™m sharing what a chaotic May taught me about honoring our limits, protecting our energy, and most importantly practicing self-compassion without guilt.

    Weā€™ll talk about the quiet pressure to overachieve, why weā€™re so quick to minimize our wins, and how shifting your focus from ā€œwhat didnā€™t get doneā€ to ā€œwhat didā€ can completely transform how you feel. This is your gentle reminder that your value isnā€™t measured by your productivity and that celebrating yourself is not selfish, itā€™s essential.
