This episode features my guest Dawn Wiggins, a licensed marriage and family therapist (and Aries moon!) who is passionate about helping divorced women rediscover their true selves. Dawn uses therapies like EMDR, subconscious healing, homeopathy and energy work to help her patients heal from trauma and embark on a path to self-discovery.
She also sheds light on her personal journey and spiritual awakening that came with her own divorce, which led her into creating her popular podcast, 'Dear Divorce Diary.'
This detailed and engaging discussion covers a range of topics from human design to astrology, healing after divorce, and different attachment styles. Dawn's personable approach to these topics provides a unique blend of expertise and compassion as she shares from her own experiences and approaches to healing.

In this episode, I welcome back my dear friend Dr. Ailish Sheard, aka The Organic Professor, making her second appearance on the show. We dive right into an eye-opening conversation about the alarming ingredients hiding in our food and disrupting our health. We talk about artificial food colors and flavors, the dangers of seed oils, and how they all link to the alarming statistics of obesity among children and adults in America. We chat about GLP-1's like Ozempic, and discuss some surprising benefits that these drugs offer - as well as some serious concerns around their safety and risk for misuse. We talk about the implication of medications like these on women's emotional and physical health, are they helpful or harmful? Are there enough parameters in place in how they are being prescribed, and to who? We chat about what it means to prioritize not just your physical health, but your emotional and spiritual health, as we work towards living the best and most full expressions of ourselves - into our 40's and beyond.
