I created this podcast to help smart, successful women like you finally get everything you want in love—and in life—by turning your attention inward, where real transformation begins. Because the truth is: when you change, everything does. This isn’t another podcast about how to “fix yourself” to be chosen. It’s about becoming so whole, grounded, and self-led that you choose what—and who—gets to be in your life. As a former psychotherapist turned truth-teller and life disrupter, I’m not here ...

--
Stop guessing what's holding back your metabolism, fat loss, or muscle gains.
Learn how to use performance bloodwork analysis to identify your body's biggest constraint and fix it using the engineering principle of Constraint Theory.
Main Takeaways:
- Your body is an engineering system limited by its weakest link
- Performance bloodwork uses optimal ranges (not just "normal" disease-prevention ranges) to identify constraints
- Pattern recognition reveals hidden issues that standard bloodwork misses (like being both inflamed and dehydrated)
- Max impact interventions can improve 5-7 biomarkers at once instead of chasing individual symptoms
- The most efficient improvement comes from using a feedback loop to identify your constraints
