    Motherhood Changes the Nervous System: Attachment, Rupture & Repair

    Motherhood changes your nervous system.In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Tanya Cotler (parent–child attachment + intergenerational patterns) — and one of my longtime friends — to talk about what motherhood awakens in the body and in relationship. We explore attachment, nervous system regulation, rupture and repair, and how pregnancy loss and grief can open old rooms inside us. If you’re navigating motherhood, postpartum, fertility, or loss, this conversation offers grounded language for what you’re living.Learn more about Dr Tanya Cotler -Website: https://drtanyacotler.com/https://www.instagram.com/drcotler/About NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    F*CK Skinny: Breaking Up with Skinny Culture

    In this episode, I’m sitting with Melanie Richards, founder of Happy Tree and creator of the F*CK Skinny movement for an honest, deeply human conversation about body image, disordered eating, grief, and nervous system healing. We explore how skinny culture shows up everywhere, even in wellness and healing spaces shaping how we eat, breathe, move, and measure our worth.From there, we turn toward what becomes possible when we pause long enough to ask our bodies what they actually want, and how choosing embodiment over perfection can free your energy, your voice, and your sense of self.This episode is a powerful invitation for anyone ready to break up with skinny culture and come home to themselves.Get in touch with Melanie Richards:website: https://happytreeyoga.com/email [email protected]: melanie.richards.yogaJoin the F*ck Skinny Movement today https://chat.whatsapp.com/G3Vl42lpYKz66XomxZIF5Q?mode=gi_tMelanie has a 200 hr Hatha Yoga Teacher Training that begins on Feb 27th.

    Multiply & Unify: Fascia, Embryology, and the Living Matrix with Joanne Avison

    What is fascia, really?In this episode, I sit down with Joanne Avison, educator, author, and co-founder of Myofascial Magic in Action (MMIA), for a conversation that moves from the dissection lab to the stars—then straight back into the lived reality of the body.Together, we explore how fascia reshapes the way we understand anatomy, movement, pain, healing, and even language itself. Joanne shares the historical roots of “classical” anatomy, the paradigm shifts that changed how the West studied the body, and why fascia invites a deeper lens: self-organization, continuity, and the body as a living matrix.We also get practical: how hydration, breath, micro-movement, and presence support the tissues—and how being genuinely heard can shift a pattern that has felt “stuck” for years.In this conversation:Why “fascia” is an imperfect word for what it representsClassical vs contemporary anatomy: what updates revealThe body as continuity: “nothing in the body is separate”Embryology as multiply & unifyTension + compression, force transmission, and living architectureTissue memory, emotion in motion, and why presence changes structureMicro-movements, rebound/recoil, and re-organizing after stress or travelWhat MMIA is, who it’s for, and how to study with JoanneLearn more about Joanne + MMIA:Myofascial Magic in Action (MMIA): myofascialmagic.comAbout NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    The Body Isn’t Mechanical: Fascia, Movement & Living in the Round with Paul Thornley

    Guest: Paul ThornleyHost: Natalie KakonProgram: Myofascial Magic in Action (MMIA)This episode is one of those conversations that keeps unfolding after you’ve listened to it and this is exactly why MMIA is one of the most incredible courses I’ve ever taken, and why studying under Paul Thornley feels like a genuine privilege.In this episode, Paul and I explore movement through curiosity, humor, humility, and deep respect for the body as a living, adaptive system. We talk about why so many strong bodies still get injured, why forcing symmetry and bracing can backfire, and how micro-movement, breath, rotation, and spiral motion restore energy instead of draining it.Expect big “aha” moments, myth-busting, and a lot of laughter woven into serious insight.We explore:Why being “strong” doesn’t equal being resilientHow micro-movement creates massive changeWhy Paul says there is no such thing as the coreHow over-bracing disrupts breath, pressure, and pelvic healthWhy rotation and spirals are free energy for the bodyHow walking mechanics affect everything from ankles to spineThe surprising connection between feet, ankles, adductors, pelvis, and pelvic floorWhy many pelvic floor issues don’t start in the pelvis at allHow breath reorganizes the body when movement feels stuckWhy linear fitness thinking misses how living tissue actually worksResources:Learn more about Myofascial Magic in Action (MMIA): https://myofascialmagic.comExplore Paul Thornley’s work, courses, and teachings.

    The Ecosystem of Care: A roundtable Conversation

    Recorded in a warm, intimate setting with Natalie’s behind-the-scenes counsel—this episode is a live, unscripted conversation on the physiology of reward, stress, sleep, and women’s health across the cycle and life stages. A candid roundtable recorded during a “Wombat Retreat” weekend - where menstrual cycle science meets real life. With Dr. Sara Cohen Fournier, MD, Dr. Michal Waldfogel, ND, and Carina Raisman, BSc, we explore how estrogen and progesterone influence dopamine and reward, why late luteal can feel harder, and how connection, light, sleep hygiene, and breath shape nervous system resilience. We also unpack the “ecosystem” view of mental health (beyond one neurotransmitter), why community is medicine, and how to build sustainable self-care—especially as we move toward perimenopause and menopause.GuestsDr. Sara Cohen Fournier, MDSara is a practicing psychiatrist whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, physiology, and lived experience. Dr. Michal Waldfogel, NDDr. Michal Pearl Waldfogel is a licensed naturopathic doctor with a deep background in education, facilitation, and community-building.

    Missing Periods, OverTraining, Under fuelling: Understanding H.A. with Elena Gelibter

    Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. Full Stop.In this episode, I’m joined by Elena Gelibter, HA + period recovery coach, nutritionist, and yoga teacher, who supports women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) to restore their cycles and return to fertility. Elena shares her personal HA story: competitive athletics, years on the contraceptive pill, coming off birth control and realizing her cycle wasn’t returning, being misdiagnosed with PCOS, and being advised to exercise more and eat fewer carbs, advice that ultimately worsened her symptoms. From cold hands and feet to injuries, hair loss, anxiety, and the pressure of “doing everything right,” Elena describes the turning point that led her to functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, recovery, and eventually natural conception.Together we explore:What functional hypothalamic amenorrhea is, and why it’s a brain-driven energy conservation responseThe hormone cascade: GnRH pulses → LH/FSH → estradiol, and how ovulation shuts down when the brain senses low safetyHow stress and cortisol amplify HA, and why thyroid + digestion often slow down in low energy availabilityCommon lab patterns in HA (and why “normal labs” can still be misleading without a true cycle)How the brain adapts under restriction (reward circuitry, fear responses, rigidity), and why recovery is rewiring—not willpowerComing off birth control: why symptoms can emerge later, and how nutrient depletion can impact recoveryThe movement shift that supported Elena’s nervous system: from performance-based training to embodied, intuitive practiceThe first doorway back into recovery: consistent energy availability, real rest, and repetition of safety signals over timeIf you’re missing your period, navigating HA recovery, recovering from over-exercising/under-eating, or feeling dismissed by the medical system—this episode will help you feel informed, seen, and supported.Follow Elena on Instagram: @messybutmenstruating Work with Elena: 1:1 personalized coaching for HA recovery + fertility support [https://tr.ee/f-1rnozeEF]About NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    Cycle Tracking as Mental Health Care: The 5th Vital Sign with Dr. Sara Cohen Fournier, MD

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sara Cohen Fournier (MD, Psychiatry) — and one of the very first beta testers of the Get Obsessed curriculum. We explore the menstrual cycle as the “fifth vital sign,” and why cycle awareness belongs in every health conversation.This episode explores cycle literacy through a mental-health lens: the menstrual cycle as the fifth vital sign, PMS vs PMDD, emotional regulation, DBT skills, breathwork and nervous system health, inflammation and mood, and how women can build self-trust through cycle tracking and embodied awareness. We discuss perimenopause and menopause mental health, symptom tracking, family communication, and questions around HRT and mood — all in service of embodied autonomy and informed care.About NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    Iron, Ferritin, Methylation & Hormones Explained with Dr. Michal Waldfogel, ND

    What does it actually mean to feel empowered in your health?In this episode, Natalie sits down with Dr. Michal Waldfogel, ND, to explore embodied naturopathy, hormones as messengers, iron and ferritin, methylation, and how cycle awareness supports perimenopause and menopause.--In this conversation, Natalie and Dr. Michal Waldfogel, ND, dive into the embodied world of naturopathy where physiology, intuition, and lived experience meet. Together, they explore what true empowerment inside healthcare looks like, and why you are the most important person on your healthcare team.Dr. Waldfogel explains how hormones act as messengers, how mood, cravings, and energy often shift in the late luteal phase, and why serotonin, circadian rhythm, light exposure, nourishment, and nervous system support matter more than perfection.The episode goes deep into blood health and minerals, especially iron. They discuss why hemoglobin can appear normal while iron stores remain low, why ferritin is a critical lab to request, and what menstruating people should consider when donating blood. Natalie and Dr. Waldfogel also explore iron absorption, alternate-day dosing, and how fatigue is often misunderstood in menstruating and perimenopausal bodies.They then unpack B12, folate, and methylation (MTHFR) in a grounded, non-alarmist way—covering when methylated vitamins can be helpful, how to start low and go slow, and which lab markers (MCV, MMA, homocysteine) offer meaningful insight.The conversation closes with a powerful reframe: learning your body during your cycling years can create a steadier, safer transition into perimenopause and menopause—like learning to swim in the shallow end before the water deepens.Embodiment and self-advocacy in healthcareHormones as messengers across the menstrual cycleLuteal phase mood shifts, cravings, and serotoninCircadian rhythm, light exposure, vitamin D, and sleepIron deficiency vs anemia: why ferritin mattersBlood donation considerations for menstruating peopleIron absorption, bisglycinate, and alternate-day dosingB12, folate, and methylation (MTHFR) explained simplyKey labs: ferritin, CBC, MCV, MMA, homocysteinePreparing for perimenopause and menopause through body literacyGuestDr. Michal Waldfogel, NDAbout NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    Where Breath meets Pelvis with Carina Raisman

    In this episode with Carina Raisman, we explore the pelvic floor not as an isolated muscle group, but as an intelligent, responsive system deeply connected to breath, digestion, the nervous system, and the reproductive organs.Together, we unpack how container affects contents — how pressure, tension, and safety in the pelvic floor influence everything from breathing patterns and digestion to menstrual health, inflammation, and sexual vitality. We talk about the pelvic floor as both a stabilizer and a mobilizer, how chronic stress and sympathetic tone shape the body, and why high pressure in the pelvis can disrupt circulation, breath, and reproductive rhythms.This conversation weaves anatomy, physiology, and lived experience — touching on:Breath as the primary gateway to pelvic floor regulationHigh-pressure vs. low-pressure systems in the bodyThe relationship between digestion, inflammation, and the uterusWhy holding the belly in holds the pelvic floorHow Pilates, movement, and breath can either reinforce tension or restore balanceThe connection between the throat, tongue, and pelvic floorSafety, pleasure, and reclaiming connection to the pelvisRather than forcing control or “fixing” the body, this episode invites a return to trusting the body’s self-organizing intelligence — using breath, awareness, and softness as the entry point.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your pelvis, struggled with breath, digestion, cycle irregularities, or wondered how stress lives in the body — this conversation opens a new way of understanding, listening, and reconnecting.Where to study with Carina: Website: www.resourceyoga.comIG: @yoga.resourceAbout NatalieI’m Natalie Kakon — founder of The Embodied Signal Method™ and host of Get Obsessed.My work sits at the intersection of menstrual cycle physiology, nervous system regulation, and lived female experience.

    Episode #6 - Part 1: Listening Beneath the Symptoms: Autoimmunity, Hormones, Whole-Body Healing

    In this deep and nourishing conversation, I sit down with Kristal from The Happy Hormone Collective to explore what women were never taught about how our hormones, nervous system, gut, and daily rhythms shape our energy, mood, and wellbeing. Kristal shares her personal journey through years of undiagnosed symptoms before discovering she had Hashimoto’s — the autoimmune thyroid condition that ultimately led her to reclaim her health and dedicate her work to supporting women.Together, we dive into:• The hormone hierarchy and why cortisol + insulin are the foundation• How poor sleep, chronic stress, and blood sugar instability keep the body in survival mode• What Hashimoto’s really is — symptoms, testing, and how to advocate for a full thyroid panel• Why gut health and plant diversity matter (yes… the “30 plants a week” rule)• How to reduce toxic load without overwhelm• The power of community in healing• Why cyclical living gives women permission to rest, shift, and show up differently• How to choose movement based on energy, not pressure• A lightning round that leaves you feeling seen, softened, and curious about your own cycleThis episode blends science, story, and supportive truth — a reminder that you don’t have to push through or ignore what your body is trying to tell you. Kristal, the founder of The Happy Hormone Collective, brings her background in education, curriculum design, and 12 years of teaching to her six-pillar methodology — nutrition, movement, sleep, toxic load, mindset, and stress regulation — guiding women back to clarity, confidence, and vibrant energy.Connect with her on Instagram at @kristal.godin.
