Hair falling out in clumps since starting Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro? You're not alone - and you're not stuck with it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason GLP-1 medications trigger hair loss (hint: it's metabolic stress + nutrient depletion), plus the exact protocol I use with clients to minimize shedding and support regrowth.

From protein targets to strategic supplementation, we're covering what actually works—not just "wait it out" advice. If you're on a GLP-1 med or considering one, this is your roadmap to protecting your hair while your body transforms. No fluff, all strategy.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

✓ Why hair loss happens on GLP-1 medications

✓ The exact nutrients your hair follicles need during rapid weight loss

✓ A strategic supplementation protocol

✓ How stress, inflammation, and under-eating sabotage your progress

✓ Realistic timelines for regrowth + what to focus on NOW to see results in 3-6 months

✓ Red flags that your provider isn't supporting you through this process

Self-love says "I love me" and self-care says "prove it"—but are your daily habits actually proving it, or are they just helping you forget you need healing? In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between true self-care and the numbing techniques society has rebranded as empowerment. From nightly wine rituals to doom-scrolling sessions, we're calling out the self-soothing traps that keep high-performing women stuck in burnout cycles while thinking they're "taking care of themselves."

You'll learn why your body doesn't distinguish between deserved indulgence and physiological stress, how to spot the difference between dopamine hits and actual restoration, and what intentional self-care actually looks like when you're ready to invest in long-term health instead of temporary relief. This isn't about perfection—it's about pattern recognition and proving to yourself through your daily choices that you're worth the discomfort of real growth.

If you've ever justified another glass of wine as self-care or wondered why you still feel exhausted despite all your "wellness" habits, this episode is your wake-up call.

New year, new... burnout? Let's talk about why your body might be side-eyeing your ambitious January goals.

In this episode, I'm getting real about the cultural pressure to "start strong" when your body is literally screaming for rest. We're diving into why winter goal-setting feels like swimming upstream, how your menstrual cycle is secretly your best planning tool, and why that 3 PM energy crash might be telling you something way more important than your to-do list. If you're a high-performer who's been white-knuckling your way through rigid routines, or you're wondering why every January feels like a setup for failure—this one's for you, babe.

Plus: Updates on my brand new website (finally!), free sourdough guide, and 2026 journal prompts to start your year with actual self-awareness instead of another failed protocol.
