When I was in my 30s, I used to run half marathons. I just loved the discipline and feeling so fit and strong … developing my cardiovascular fitness was amazing. I used to hate the idea of running and avoid it at all costs!

After a couple of years of running, I started developing nagging injuries that knocked me off the road.

I used Zyflamend, an awesome anti-inflammatory, to control the swelling, and while it helped, ultimately, I had a problem with my form that had to be corrected so I wouldn’t keep injuring myself. .

To help my body heal, I was referred to an amazing massage therapist who explained how all of this muscular tissue all over my whole body functions as one whole organism, called fascia.

And how, for us to fix the fascia around my joints that was overly-tight, he was going to have to work on the fascia on the opposite side (and end!) of my body!

Today we're going to talk to my friend Shivan Sarna about fascia. This is going to be a fantastic conversation if:

• You have been dealing with chronic pain in your life
• You’re experiencing these little nagging injuries from working out
• You're dealing with something bigger, like pain that might be tied to an autoimmune condition
• You’ve got a lot of scar tissue that is creating other issues for you
• You're getting older, and you just feel like everything's stiff and brittle
  
  

Shivan is going to teach us about fascia, how it stores trauma and stress, and what we need to help it heal and recover. In this episode:

Just how important are our lungs?

Women naturally bring supportive energy to relationships. 

And because of social conditioning plus the heart and soul we put into what we are creating, we also become overly accountable for others’ happiness and well-being.

We do it all…

This pushes us to keep giving, giving, giving that supportive energy … and we often lose track of our own needs. We give more than we’re getting. 

This is depleting and soul-crushing, leading to cycles of burnout and stress that aren’t good for our bodies or our health.

This was especially true for me in my early adult life.

I had a belief that I was really strong and capable. I could handle a lot of things. 

And people could count on me. I was resilient. I never gave up easily.

I was a natural leader who didn't know how to hold others accountable or to make sure that my needs were met, too.

Over time, the stress created so much burnout.

When I started to realize that I wasn’t managing my life well, I began making big shifts around what I expected if I was going to assume leadership or be accountable for results. 

Have you been in a situation where others relied on you for accountability and support… bringing you to the edge of burnout?. 

This episode with my fabulous friend, Dr. Deborah Fryer will shift your mindset around creating support when you’re stressed to the max… to help you more powerfully receive what you need to keep showing up powerfully for others. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

• How to make yourself visible, valuable and valid to create mutually fulfilling relationships
• One liberating way to communicate and get what you need without feeling guilt, shame and selfishness
• The common misconception about getting the support you need–and how these toxic beliefs keep you stuck
•  2 effective ways to make a relationship work when it’s too important to let go
• A handy worksheet that will help you let go of disappointment, anger and frustration towards others to relieve stress and avoid burnout

Have you ever felt like life was an uphill battle … or felt exhausted from swimming upstream?

In 2018, I had a life-changing conversation with Human Design Expert and Astrologer Barbara Ditlow… She helped me understand how my energetic imprint was designed to work with flow and ease…

She decoded so many aspects of my experience so I could ra-align with the energy of those around me to get the support I needed to lead more effectively and end the cycles of burnout that I’d been experiencing the previous 7 years.

Understanding who you are so that you can live more peacefully, powerfully and authentically is life changing, and I want this for all my sisters! 

When you aren’t in flow, when you live in fear and resistance every day, you create cycles of stress and burnout that break your body down and keep you from healing. 

Barbara helped me find my flow, and I’m so excited to share some of her magic with you today!

In this interview, you will learn:

• How Human Design can help you end the cycles of burnout
• The 4 energy types and the easiest way to know yours

It’s been almost three years since the world lockdown. And yet, despite things “returning to normal,” we are still dealing with the adverse side effects of the pandemic.

I was devastated when it was first announced that schools would close and everyone should stay at home. 

I remember thinking, “what about those families where home isn't a safe place?”

“What about the women who are going to be locked in with an abusive husband?”

“What about the children locked down with parents with marriage struggles, who witness lots of fighting and now whose parents can’t escape each other?”

This pandemic has inflicted a lot of psychological trauma. And not only that, it has also  created moraeus health issues. 

Many women inside the Healing Rosie FB Group have lamented gaining 20-40lbs during the lockdown. 

Not having a normal routine, not moving regularly, and being afraid and unable  to cope well has led many of us to stress eat. 

We’ve seen a lot of families broken apart, marriages disintegrate and people dealing with relentless depression and anxiety. 

Collectively we are just starting to rebuild our lives from the ashes of a really destructive time, and many are still struggling to cope. 

If you’re struggling, I want you to have some guiding light to help you find your way out of these struggles. 

How do we manage all of this stress and anxiety and depression and the dissonance that we're feeling in our heads from a really traumatic time?

I invited Dr. Lindsey Elmore, a leader in the mental wellness movement, to show us how to reduce the risk of mental health challenges.

We’re going to explore:

• The shocking statistics on mental illness that resulted from the pandemic
• What they should have told us to do during the pandemic instead of spreading panic
• Gained weight during the pandemic?  Take this to help  shred belly fat
  

• 4 easy steps to reducing stress. HINT: These steps also help your mental well being
  

• How healing this part of your body will help your mental health

I went over 144 hours (that’s over 6 days) with no sleep. I was coming unraveled emotionally, weepy and overwhelmed… Why can’t I sleep???

I tried every trick to get some shut-eye after a botched operation. I was at my wit’s end, so  I called a dear friend and high performance coach for help.

After hearing about my story and telling him everything that’s happened to me, he told me:  you need to breathe.
He told me the breath pattern I needed to do while meditating, and I hung up, laid down on the floor in my bedroom and started practicing.

In about an hour, I felt myself dozing off. So I got up from the floor and crawled into bed.

That was the first time since my surgery that I was able to sleep. 

When I started hearing my colleagues talk about the amazing benefits of breathwork, and even incorporating it as a spiritual practice, I knew this was something powerful that we all need to learn!

In this interview, I’m talking with my friend Josh Trent about the power of breathwork for re-regulating your nervous system so you can induce a parasympathetic response to get better sleep, manage stress and start healing.

Together, we explore:

• Start your day right! Why “Circular Breathing” is a crucial
  practice to add to your morning routine
  
  
• If you’re new to breathwork, learn this  simple strategy to get you started
  
  
• Need to reconnect with your partner? This breathing exercise done together will help you feel more connected with each other
  
  
• Get BETTER sleep in less than 5 minutes! Use this breathing technique to prime your parasympathetic nervous system for great  sleep
  
  
• Bye-bye depression! Use the “two-part breath” exercise to release negative emotions and feel at peace

There is a piece to this whole puzzle that has been baffling to me as a patient for the last decade.

For years, I have struggled to get past the biohacking “props” like thyroid and hormone support, along with so many supplements to support energy and help me with my symptoms…


We were damming the waters, but not uncovering why we needed a dam in the first place.  

I knew something deeper was going on, but I didn’t know how to uncover what that was.


And the doctors didn’t help. 

But even after I learned about upstream stressors, I didn’t know how to uncover what was going on with me …


Or what I should do if we found anything.


When you start asking around, you’ll find that very few functional medicine practitioners actually know how to go this deep and help you heal.  

Ashley Smith has been working with Dr. Dan Pompa for years as his head health coach, and she pulled out the stops with this interview to share her best tips with us!  In this interview, we’ll be tackling questions like…

What are upstream stressors and how do I properly test for them??

What should I be looking for when vetting for practitioners to help me?

How do I heal these stressors? 

I want you to feel empowered around finding someone who can help you in this journey. 

Most importantly, you are the person who’s ultimately responsible for your health. So I want you to be aware of the root causes of why 90% of us are dealing with symptoms. 

At the end of the day, it’s your body… and when you know what’s happening inside, you can take charge and create your healing.
