My Healing Era
My Healing Era is a therapy podcast for women who want to break free from the toxic cycles that are keeping them stuck, and end the "not good enough" narrative in their head.
This podcast covers unfiltered conversations around topics like healing from dieting, hustle culture, mental health, body image, nervous system regulation, stress, food freedom... and so much more! We'll also get right down to the nitty gritty on which wellness trends to stay clear of, and what actually works and what doesn't.
And don't worry, I'm a therapist who gets it. I'm a recovered chronic dieter, anxiety warrior, and workaholic, and now I help women just like you heal from diet culture & hustle culture!
