    74 - What Your Hair Is Trying to Tell You with Karen Gordon

    From Grief To GrowthIn this heartfelt conversation, Joanne sits down with Karen Gordon, a certified trichologist, educator and founder of Karen Gordon Hair Loss Solutions. After spending more than four decades in the beauty industry, Karen reflects on the profound loss of her husband, renowned hairstylist Jerry Gordon, founder of the double-shifting salon system and a respected mentor who influenced generations of hair professionals. She shares how grief reshaped her life, leading her to embrace evolution over reinvention and inspiring a more compassionate way of living. Through her journey, Karen reminds us that learning to trust ourselves, spend time alone and allow life to unfold naturally can become some of our greatest teachers.What Your Hair Is Trying To Tell YouKaren explains why hair loss is rarely just about hair. From hormonal shifts, thyroid conditions, stress, PCOS and nutritional deficiencies to the impact of inflammation and overall health, she reveals how our hair often reflects what's happening beneath the surface. Rather than focusing only on external treatments, she encourages listeners to look for the root cause and understand that, in many cases, hair loss is not hopeless. With patience, personalized care and a whole-body approach, healthy hair can often be restored while supporting overall wellness.Listening To The Wisdom WithinBeyond the science of hair health, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing begins when we learn to listen more deeply to our bodies, our intuition and our own needs. Karen shares how giving herself permission to say no, travel alone and trust life's unfolding became part of her own healing journey. Whether you're navigating hair loss, grief, a season of uncertainty or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, this episode offers gentle wisdom for honoring where you've been while embracing the person you're continually becoming.Visit the Karen Gordon Hair WebsiteFollow Karen Gordon Hair on InstagramFollow Karen Gordon Hair on FacebookConnect with Karen Gordon on LinkedInChapters00:00 The Journey of Healing and Growth01:59 Karen's Personal Story and Professional Journey04:30 Understanding Grief and Its Surprises06:07 Evolution vs. Reinvention: A New Perspective07:42 Self-Compassion and the Importance of Alone Time09:14 The Process of Writing a Book11:20 Giving Ourselves Permission to Evolve13:06 Understanding Hair Loss: A Deeper Look15:18 Hidden Factors Influencing Hair and Scalp Health17:59 The Emotional Impact of Hair Loss19:55 Discovering Strengths Through Healing21:57 Cultural Significance of Hair25:05 The Empowering Field of Hair Replacement26:48 Listening to Your Inner VoiceLet’s chat!

    73 - Karen "ZuZu" Ziemer Armes On Reversing Epilepsy And Trusting Your Body

    From Epilepsy To EmpowermentIn this inspiring conversation, Joanne sits down with holistic health educator, author, speaker and co-founder of Holistic Health Educators and Lilly Fields Wellness Center, Karen "ZuZu" Ziemer Armes. As a young girl living with epilepsy, Zuzu carried a bell with her everywhere in case a seizure struck without warning. Years later, after discovering she was pregnant with her first child, she felt called to find a different path for her health. That journey sparked a deep exploration into nutrition and the body's innate ability to heal, ultimately changing the course of her life. Today, she helps others uncover the root causes of their symptoms while inspiring hope that our bodies possess an extraordinary capacity for healing when given the support they need.Every Symptom Has A StoryOne of Zuzu's core beliefs is that symptoms are not mistakes but clues pointing us toward imbalance. Together, Joanne and Zuzu explore why healing begins by asking "why" instead of simply masking discomfort. From gut health and hydration to chiropractic care, acupuncture, nutrient-dense foods and reducing everyday toxins, she explains how small, intentional changes can create profound shifts in our wellbeing. Her message is both empowering and deeply hopeful: when we learn to listen to our bodies instead of fighting them, they often show us exactly what they need.Choosing Life Every Single DayDrawing on more than four decades of studying natural health, raising twelve children and helping thousands of people transform their wellbeing, Zuzu shares practical wisdom for living a vibrant, healthy life. She offers simple ways to prepare nourishing meals, reduce toxic exposures and make wellness feel achievable even in the busiest seasons. She also introduces Lilly Fields Wellness Center, where people can immerse themselves in hands-on healing experiences that reconnect them with the wisdom of their own bodies. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing isn't about perfection. It's about becoming curious, honoring your body's messages and choosing life, one small step at a time.Learn More about Holistic Health EducatorsGet Your Free EMPOWERED 4-Hour Holistic Health Educator Course!

    71- Dr. Mao Shing Ni on Taoist Wisdom, Longevity & Holistic Wellness

    Returning To Balance Through Ancient WisdomIn this inspiring conversation, Joanne sits down with 38th-generation doctor of Chinese medicine, integrative health pioneer, author and co-founder of the Tao of Wellness and Yo San University, Dr. Mao Shing Ni. Dr. Mao shares the remarkable story that shaped his life's work after surviving a devastating fall as a young child that left him in a coma and temporarily paralyzed. Through the unwavering belief of his father and the healing power of acupuncture, herbal medicine, food, Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation, he made a full recovery. That journey became the foundation of his lifelong mission to help others rediscover their body's extraordinary ability to heal.The Body Is Always SpeakingDr. Mao shares one of the greatest lessons his father ever taught him: "Symptoms are simply the body out of balance." Rather than suppressing symptoms, Chinese medicine seeks to restore harmony at the root. He explains that food is medicine, just as acupuncture, herbal medicine, movement and meditation are all forms of medicine that support the body's natural healing abilities. Together, Joanne and Dr. Mao explore why prevention matters, how stress quietly impacts our health and how simple practices like walking after meals and creating moments of stillness can help bring us back into balance.Healing Is A PartnershipDrawing from more than a thousand years of family wisdom, Dr. Mao offers a refreshing vision of healthcare where ancient traditions and modern science work together. He reminds us that doctors don't heal the body; the body heals itself when given the right support. This conversation is a beautiful invitation to trust your body's innate intelligence, embrace prevention over reaction, and remember that true longevity is about living each day with greater balance, awareness and harmony.Ask Dr. Mao Learn More About Tao of WellnessDr. Mao’s Secrets of Longevity, 2nd Edition Dr. Mao’s Secrets of Self HealingDr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity Cookbook: Eat to Thrive, Live Long, and Be HealthyAbout Yo San UniversityChapters00:00 Introduction to Wellness and Healing01:51 The Journey into Chinese Medicine06:19 Building Yo-San University08:12 Integrating Eastern and Western Medicine12:51 Food as Medicine15:32 Preventative Healthcare vs. Reactive Medicine18:46 Connecting with Natural Rhythms20:40 Understanding Symptoms as Messages24:09 The Mind-Body Connection28:25 Daily Practices for Longevity30:10 The Future of Integrative Medicine33:39 Wisdom from AncestryLet’s chat!

    70 - Dr. Janelle Kim On The Korean Art Of Living Well

    Ancient Wisdom For Modern WellbeingIn this deeply grounding conversation, Joanne sits down with ninth-generation doctor of herbal medicine, wellness expert, author and founder of JBK Wellness Labs, Dr. Jenelle Kim. Drawing from a lineage spanning thousands of years, Dr. Kim shares how true beauty isn't about resisting aging, but about cultivating balance, vitality, and longevity from the inside out. Together, they explore how Eastern medicine views beauty as a reflection of our emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing, reminding us that when we nourish ourselves from within, our outer radiance naturally follows.Returning To Yourself Through Everyday RitualsDr. Kim introduces the three pillars that have guided her life and work—medicine, movement, and mindset—and explains why lasting wellness is built through simple, consistent rituals. She shares why taking time to truly enjoy a nourishing meal is a powerful act of self-care and how many of us have forgotten how to breathe deeply into our bellies instead of taking shallow breaths from our chests. Through breathwork, Qigong and mindful daily practices, she reveals how we can calm the nervous system, restore our energy, and reconnect with ourselves—one intentional breath at a time.Be Like BambooDr. Kim also shares the inspiration behind her book, The Korean Art of Living Well, written in honor of her late father and the wisdom passed down through generations of her family. One of her most beautiful teachings, "Be like bamboo," reminds us to stay deeply rooted while remaining flexible enough to bend with life's inevitable storms. She also offers a simple grounding practice anyone can begin today, leaving us with a gentle reminder that true wellness, resilience and beauty all begin within.Official Website of Dr. Jenelle Kim The SABU Wellness Experience Follow.

    69 - How Allison Evans of Branch Basics Healed Herself | Gut Health, Toxic Load & Clean Living

    Healing PCOS By Going Back To BasicsWhen Allison Evans was diagnosed with one of the most severe cases of PCOS her doctor had ever seen, she was told she would likely never conceive naturally and would need medical intervention to have children. Years later, after developing chronic pain, neurological symptoms and finding herself dependent on multiple medications with no real answers, Allison’s search for healing led her to her Aunt Marilee in the Texas Hill Country. Through real food, reducing toxic exposures and creating a healthier home environment, her body began to heal. When she returned to her OB-GYN years later, he was stunned by what he saw. The ovaries once covered in cysts looked completely different, and not long after, Allison experienced her second natural menstrual cycle of her life. Today, after once being told pregnancy wasn't possible, she is the mother of four children.The Power Of A Healthy HomeIn this eye-opening conversation, Allison shares the remarkable story of her Aunt Marilee's work helping families uncover the hidden impact of environmental toxins. From pesticides to everyday household products, she explains how many of the substances we've normalized may be quietly affecting our health. One of the biggest offenders, she says, is synthetic fragrance, a nearly unavoidable ingredient found in everything from laundry detergent to personal care products. Allison explains how these chemicals can disrupt hormones and contribute to inflammation, while also offering hope: our bodies are constantly working to detoxify and restore balance. Through natural processes like sweating, elimination, and healthy hormonal cycles, the body is continually clearing what doesn't belong. Together, Joanne and Allison explore why healing often begins not by adding more, but by removing what no longer serves us.Turning Personal Healing Into A MissionWhat started as Allison’s own healing journey eventually grew into Branch Basics, the company she co-founded alongside her best friend Kelly Love and Aunt Marilee. Built on the belief that wellness should be simple, accessible and effective, Branch Basics helps families reduce toxic exposures without sacrificing performance. Allison also shares how these same principles supported her through mold exposure, chronic Lyme symptoms and the many seasons of motherhood. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our bodies are designed to heal, that small changes can create profound shifts, and that sometimes the path back to wellness begins with something as simple as opening a window, choosing real food or removing a hidden toxin from our everyday environment.Connect with Allison Evans on LinkedInToss the Toxins Free e-Course Browse Branch Basics Starter Kits | Save 20% on Starter Kits Code: INNERSENSE20 Follow Branch Basics on Facebook ‘Follow Branch Basics on Instagram Follow Branch Basics on TikTok Follow Branch Basics on LinkedInChapters00:00 Alison's Journey to Healing09:03 The Impact of Environment on Health12:48 The Power of Clean Living16:08 The Birth of Branch Basics21:33 Current Health and Family Life22:41 The Journey to Wellness and Fertility24:41 The Birth of a Brand: Branch Basics28:08 The Impact of Synthetic Fragrances30:13 Rethinking Germs and Cleaning Products32:06 Laundry: The Hidden Health Hazard35:53 Innovations in Cleaning: The Branch Basics Approach38:59 Future Aspirations and Sustainable PracticesLet’s chat!

    68 - Survival, Self-Worth, Healing Trauma & Reinvention with Jolie Love Laroux

    Surviving What Was Meant To Break HerIn this deeply inspiring conversation, Joanne sits down with entrepreneur, hairstylist, public speaker, survivalist, and content creator Jolie Love Laroux. Jolie shares the winding path that shaped her life. From a childhood marked by instability, abuse and homelessness to building successful businesses and creating a life rooted in purpose and self-discovery. With remarkable honesty, she reflects on the loneliness that followed her through much of her early life, while also sharing the profound spiritual experiences that reminded her she was never truly alone. From angelic encounters as a child to an unwavering sense that something greater was guiding her path, Jolie reveals how those unseen forces helped carry her through some of life’s darkest moments.The Journey Back To Self-WorthAfter years of overcoming obstacles yet still finding herself repeating familiar patterns, Jolie reached a profound turning point. She opens up about the relationships, betrayals and life changes that forced her to look beyond external circumstances and examine the deeper beliefs she held about herself. What followed was a powerful season of self-discovery, where she began rebuilding her life from the inside out, confronting issues of worthiness, and learning to truly choose herself. Her story is a beautiful reminder that healing often begins when we stop looking outward for answers and start turning inward with honesty and compassion.Finding Freedom Through Adventure And LoveJolie also shares the extraordinary experiences that came from competing on Naked and Afraid, where surviving in the wilderness became a mirror for the lessons she was learning in everyday life. From digging wells and building boats to navigating difficult partnerships, the experience revealed a simple but life-changing truth: everything she needed was already within her. She also shares the unexpected love story that unfolded with fellow survivalist and Alone star Dub Paetz, a connection built on mutual respect, resilience and deep personal growth. Together, they now document their adventures through their growing YouTube channels, embracing a life guided by curiosity, freedom and trust. This conversation is a soulful reminder that when we release limiting stories and follow what lights us up, life often becomes more beautiful than we could have planned.Follow Jolie Love Laroux on InstagramConnect with Jolie Love Laroux on Facebook Watch Wild Together Adventures on YouTubeChapters00:00 Introduction to Resilience and Transformation06:04 Spiritual Awakening and Inner Guidance12:06 The Turning Point: Embracing Self-Improvement19:43 Defining Moments of 202324:57 Facing Fears: The Challenge of Naked and Afraid31:18 Realizations in Vulnerability: What Survival Teaches Us37:40 Adventures Ahead: Building a YouTube Channel TogetherLet’s chat!

    67 - What Your Body Is Trying To Tell You With Dr. Heidi Olson

    Healing Begins When We ListenIn this deeply grounding conversation, Joanne sits down with longtime chiropractor and integrative wellness practitioner Dr. Heidi Olson to explore what becomes possible when we stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them. Dr. Olson shares the powerful story that first led her to chiropractic care at just 12 years old, when a sudden and debilitating experience left her unable to move, only to walk out of a chiropractor’s office with a completely different understanding of healing. What followed was a lifetime devoted to helping others reconnect with the innate wisdom of their bodies.The Messages Hidden Beneath The SymptomsTogether, Joanne and Dr. Olson explore the connection between physical pain, emotional stress, nervous system regulation and the patterns we carry through life. Rather than viewing symptoms as something to silence or fight against, Dr. Olson invites us to see them as messages from the body asking for attention and care. Through stories from her practice and her own healing journey, she shares why true wellness often begins when we become curious about what lies beneath the surface and learn to trust the quiet signals before they become louder ones.Releasing What The Body Has Been HoldingThe conversation also dives into Dr. Olson’s work with Quantum Neuro Reset Technique (QNRT), a powerful modality designed to help release unresolved stress and stored emotional patterns from the nervous system. From intuitive insights that arrive during patient sessions to her passion for helping people uncover the root causes behind chronic symptoms, Dr. Olson offers a beautiful perspective on healing that is physical, emotional and deeply personal. This episode is a reminder that the body is never working against us. It is always communicating, protecting and guiding us back toward balance.Visit Dr. Heidi in Concord, California Check Out Dr. Heidi’s YouTube ChannelFollow Dr. Heidi on FacebookChapters00:00 Introduction to Healing and Chiropractic Care06:35 The Journey to Chiropractic: Personal Stories12:29 Understanding the Body's Communication19:25 Exploring Quantum Neuro Reset Technique (QNRT)25:50 Healing Without Drugs: Alternative Therapies32:27 The Emotional Component of HealingLet’s chat!

    66 - Marie DeJournette on Purpose, Perseverance and Finding Your Calling

    Finding Purpose On The MountainWhat began as a single climb up Mount Shasta in 2007 became a life-changing path for Marie DeJournette. In this heartfelt conversation, Marie shares how a simple invitation to join Climb Against The Odds opened the door to a deeper connection with Breast Cancer Prevention Partners and a mission that would shape the next chapter of her life. From her early days as a climber to eventually leading outdoor fundraising events around the world, Marie reflects on the powerful intersection of adventure, advocacy, and purpose.The Transformative Power Of Doing Hard ThingsOver the years, Marie has witnessed hundreds of people step far beyond what they believed was possible. In this episode, she shares inspiring stories of climbers who arrived as complete beginners, breast cancer survivors who defied the odds and individuals who discovered strength they never knew they had. Through these powerful experiences, Marie reflects on the courage, vulnerability and community that emerge when people come together around a shared mission. Her stories are a beautiful reminder that transformation often begins long before we reach the summit.Closing One Chapter, Trusting The NextAs Marie prepares for her final Climb Against The Odds and looks ahead to walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through Spain, she reflects on the lessons she's gathered from a lifetime of adventure, advocacy, and service. She shares how this next journey feels especially meaningful, as she will carry her mother’s ashes with her along the trail, honoring her presence every step of the way before scattering the last of them near her grandmother’s hometown.

    65 - BONUS EPISODE Building a More Inclusive World Through Barbering with Henry Tribes

    Creating Calm In Spaces That Once Felt OverwhelmingIn this deeply moving conversation, Joanne sits down with barber, educator and inventor Henry Tribes to explore how one simple idea became a powerful act of care for neurodivergent children and their families. What began with a weighted blanket at home slowly evolved into The Weighted Cape, a sensory-informed innovation designed to bring calm, grounding and emotional safety into the haircut experience. Henry shares how his own journey through fatherhood softened his understanding of patience, presence and what it truly means to make someone feel safe in their body.More Than A Haircut, A Sense Of BelongingAs Henry began working with neurodivergent children, everything about the haircut experience shifted for him. No longer focused solely on the final result, he focused above all else on care, trust, regulation and emotional safety. Through compassion, deep listening and sensory-safe environments, Henry explains how even something as everyday as a haircut can become deeply healing, not only for the child sitting in the chair, but for the parents carrying years of stress, fear and exhaustion. This conversation beautifully reminds us that true inclusion is not about fixing people; it’s about creating spaces where they can fully belong exactly as they are.Following The Quiet Inner Nudges Toward PurposeHenry also opens up about leaving behind the expectations of corporate success to follow a path that felt far more aligned with his heart and purpose. From teaching sensory-inclusive haircut techniques through the Sensory Society to building Trimmies, a sensory oasis intentionally designed for neurodivergent families, his work is rooted in the belief that healing often begins with the smallest acts of kindness and human connection. This episode is a powerful reminder that when we slow down, lead with compassion and trust those quiet inner nudges, we create ripple effects far bigger than we could ever imagine.How the Weighted Cape Works Help Fund Sensory-Friendly Haircut Experiences for Neurodivergent ChildrenConnect with Henry Tribes on Instagram Follow Trimmy’s World on Instagram Sensory Society Friendly ResourcesRead About Henry Tribes in Modern SalonWatch Henry Tribes on KERA News, NPR for North TexasChapters00:00 Introduction to Henry Tribes and His Mission03:01 The Journey of Becoming a Barber06:01 The Evolution of Barbering and Personal Growth09:06 The Impact of Societal Perception on Barbering12:03 The Importance of Care in Barbering15:02 Creating Safe Spaces for Neurodivergent Children17:59 The Birth of the Weighted Cape21:04 Understanding Neurodivergent Needs in Haircuts23:32 The Journey Begins: First Experiences with Neurodivergent Clients26:13 Understanding Sensory-Friendly Haircuts31:48 Creating Trimmies: A Sensory Oasis35:00 Fundraising for Sensory-Friendly Haircuts37:10 Lessons on Humanity and Shared Experience41:44 A Call to Action: Supporting the Neurodivergent CommunityLet’s chat!

    64 - Understanding Williams Syndrome: Beauty, Humanity & Connection

    Holding Space For The Williams Syndrome JourneyIn honor of Williams Syndrome Awareness Month, Joanne sits down with Jessica Connor, Dr. Jocelyn Krebs and Dr. Kristin Kouvel for a conversation rooted in compassion, advocacy, and the deeply human experience of raising and supporting individuals with Williams syndrome. Together, they explore the many layers of the diagnosis, from medical complexity and anxiety to the beauty, individuality and emotional depth that lives inside this extraordinary community. This episode gently reminds us that no two journeys ever unfold the same way and that true understanding begins when we move beyond labels and really see the person standing in front of us.The Quiet Knowing Mothers CarryJessica and Dr. Jocelyn Krebs both reflect on the early moments of motherhood when something inside quietly whispered that their children needed deeper answers. Dr. Jocelyn Krebs shares the surreal experience of being both a genetic researcher studying Williams syndrome and later becoming the mother of a son with the condition herself. Jessica opens up about the long road toward her daughter Ava’s diagnosis and the emotional weight of hearing the words “Williams syndrome” for the very first time. Their stories speak so beautifully to the intuition mothers carry and how inner sense continues to guide even when the path feels uncertain.Finding Hope Through Connection And CareThe conversation also moves into Ava’s recent scoliosis journey and the specialized care that surrounded her spinal fusion surgery. Dr. Kristin Kouvel compassionately explains the connective tissue differences tied to Williams syndrome and why scoliosis can become part of the picture for some families.

With honesty, humor, and incredible wisdom, she shares what she wishes people understood about disability: individuals with Williams syndrome are capable of building meaningful lives, relationships, careers and dreams, even if the path looks a little different. From her experience on Love on the Spectrum to spreading kindness everywhere she goes, Callie’s joy and compassion radiate throughout the conversation.Creating A Legacy Of True LoveInspired by Callie’s desire to help others, the family created the True Love Foundation to support individuals with Williams syndrome and their families through resources, experiences, connection and encouragement.

    62 - A Mother’s Mission: Camille Fortunato on Advocacy, Hope, And Williams Syndrome

    A Mother’s Intuition Through The UnknownWhen Camille Fortunato’s son Anthony was diagnosed with Williams syndrome at just two years old, her world changed forever. What began as a mother’s quiet feeling that something wasn’t right became a journey through complex medical challenges and frightening cardiac episodes. Camille shares the moment she realized she could physically feel Anthony’s heart racing at a dangerous speed, which led her to call 911 and uncover severe tachycardia.Turning Grief Into Purpose And AdvocacyAs Camille learned more about the cardiovascular risks tied to Williams syndrome, including sudden cardiac arrest and anesthesia complications, she discovered how little research and guidance existed for families. Rather than staying in fear, she transformed that pain into action by launching the Anthony Filippozzo Grant for Williams Syndrome Research and Advancement (AGF), helping fund critical research. She also shares how her love expanded from one child to a whole community of families.Hope, Healing, And The FutureCamille also discusses research breakthroughs offering hope, including studies focused on cardiovascular disease and arrhythmias in Williams syndrome.

    59 - From Ireland’s Sacred Lands to Awakening Your Inner Knowing

    A Journey Across Sacred Land and SelfJoanne takes you back through her time in Ireland and Scotland, beginning with the awe of standing among ancient sites like Newgrange and moving through the lush landscapes surrounding Limerick and Galway. From walking the land to sitting in sacred spaces, each location offered its own kind of activation. Along the way, she experienced moments of deep connection—not only to the earth, but to the group of women she traveled with, including time spent learning and gathering in community spaces like the BB Collective, where shared presence and intention added another layer of meaning to the journey.Moments That Stay in the BodyAs the days unfolded, the experiences deepened—from visiting sacred stones and participating in ceremony to a powerful candle gazing meditation that brought forth a vivid third-eye experience filled with crystalline colors and sensation. Joanne shares how these moments built upon one another, culminating in a profound sense of clarity and calm. By the time the group closed their journey with a fire ceremony back in Ireland, something had shifted. The constant mind chatter had softened, replaced with a deeper trust, a gentler perspective, and a feeling of being more connected—to herself, to others, and to the world around her.You Are Not Starting Over You Are ReturningReturning home didn’t mark the end—it revealed the true beginning. Joanne reflects on how the lessons from the land and the journey now live within her, showing up in how she moves through everyday life. With a gentle guided reflection, she invites you to consider what in your own life is asking to be remembered. Not repeated, but reclaimed. Because the sacred isn’t only found in places like Ireland—it’s here, in your breath, your relationships, and your awareness. You’re not starting over… you’re returning, wiser, softer, and more connected.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey05:29 Sacred Sites and Ceremonies in Ireland12:02 Reflections on the Cliffs of Moher and Nature's Power26:01 The Hill of Ishnach and the Navel of Ireland33:43 Transition to Scotland and Educational Experiences41:29 Ceremony and Personal Growth through ExperienceLet’s chat!

    Title: The Sacred Spiral Journey with Louise KeaneShow notes:Sacred Land Sacred Memory with Louise KeaneJoanne sits down with Louise Keane, guide and space-holder at Sacred Spiral Retreat Centre in Ireland, for a conversation that feels like stepping into another realm. Together, they revisit Joanne’s deeply personal experience on retreat—where ancient land, sacred sites, and unseen energies come alive in ways that are hard to explain but impossible to forget. From the moment Joanne stood beside Ireland’s revered fairy trees, she felt something shift—an invitation into a world where myth, memory, and nature intertwine.Portals Symbols and the Magic Beneath the SurfaceLouise shares the rich lore of Ireland’s fairy trees—sacred hawthorn trees believed to be portals to other realms—and the very real consequences locals associate with disturbing them. She also explores the deeper meaning of the spiral, a symbol found across ancient sites like Newgrange, representing both a portal through time and a journey back home to oneself. Through stories of ancient temples, sound frequencies, and the resonance of stone, this conversation opens curiosity around what we’ve been taught to dismiss as myth—and what may actually hold deep, ancestral truth.Coming Home to YourselfAt its heart, this conversation is an invitation—to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you truly are. Louise reflects on the power of shared experience during the retreat, where a group of women came together in deep presence and connection, activating something greater than themselves.

    52 - The Sacred Season of Perimenopause with Dr. Amy Day

    Hormone Wisdom Before the PauseJoanne sits down with Dr. Amy Day for a deeply affirming conversation about perimenopause, hormone shifts, and what so many women experience in their 30s and 40s without clear guidance. After navigating her own journey with endometriosis, Dr. Day devoted her career to helping women understand their bodies sooner. She unpacks the early signs of imbalance—fatigue, anxiety, sleep disruption, mood changes—and reminds you that these are not random inconveniences but signals asking to be heard.The Pyramid of Foundational SupportDr. Day shares the pyramid model she uses to support her patients, beginning with foundational lifestyle pillars like sleep, nutrition, stress regulation, and gut health before layering in targeted supplementation and, when appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy. She explains how estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and inflammation interact in a delicate ecosystem, and why treating symptoms without addressing the base of the pyramid often leaves women stuck. This grounded, step-by-step approach reframes hormone care as proactive and personalized rather than reactive.Before the PauseBeyond the clinic, Dr. Day is part of a growing movement to bring hormone education into the mainstream through the documentary M Factor II: Before the Pause. She encourages you to look for it at a local screening or watch for it on PBS.

    36 - The Face as a Healing Map: Facial Reflexology with Jackie Van Ruler

    A Facial AwakeningJoanne opens the episode by sharing how facial reflexology, discovered during her sauna sessions at the height of the pandemic, became a powerful part of her wellness practice. Her guest, Jackie Van Ruler, takes us back to the beginning—how she left a 20-year nursing career and stumbled upon facial reflexology through a random book search and a gut feeling she couldn’t ignore. That intuitive pull led her from a tiny class in a coffee shop to a lifelong mission to share this transformative healing modality.Beauty Meets Body WisdomJackie explains how facial reflexology taps into the autonomic nervous system, using precise points on the face to restore balance, improve health, and shift emotional states. Listeners will hear how this gentle technique has helped people stop gallbladder attacks, heal chronic pain, and even reduce their use of Botox—all while creating visible changes like glowing skin and brighter eyes. The conversation dives into the emotional layers too, exploring how anger, grief, and repressed energy show up on the face and how releasing tension can offer deep emotional relief.Tools, Tips, and TransformationJoanne and Jackie discuss the magic behind the stainless steel detector—lovingly dubbed the “magic wand”—and how it activates healing through microcurrents and awareness. Jackie offers simple ways for beginners to get started without needing to memorize maps or protocols, and shares powerful success stories from both clients and students. If you’re curious about learning more or want to try it yourself, Jackie’s YouTube videos, classes, and Instagram are an open door to this healing art that truly begins with trusting your inner sense.Check Out Jackie Van Ruler: MindBodyBeautyInstitute.com, on IG:@JackieVanRuler and YouTube: @JackieVanRulerChapters00:00 Introduction to Facial Reflexology02:44 The Science Behind Facial Reflexology05:58 Personal Journey and Career Transition08:53 Benefits Beyond Aesthetics11:55 Understanding the Body's Signals14:56 The Magic Wand: Tools of the Trade17:52 Emotional Healing Through Reflexology20:56 Teaching and Training Others23:51 Success Stories and Real-Life Applications26:52 Addressing Common Health Concerns29:50 Getting Started with Facial ReflexologyLet’s chat!

    The Heart Of Leadership With Britt SevaJoanne Starkman and co-host Casey Voss sit down with beauty industry strategist Britt Seva for a conversation that left them feeling a little star struck—especially Casey, made even more memorable by the chance to chat with Britt Seva, mentor to thousands of Thrivers From the very first question, the energy was honest, playful, and full of admiration for a woman who has helped reshape what leadership looks like in the salon world.Owning Your Lane In The IndustryBritt shares how her journey started—not with a pair of shears, but with the realization that haircuts weren’t her strength. Instead, her salon owner recognized her standout skills in marketing and management, inviting her to step away from the chair and into the business side of beauty. Joanne and Casey light up as Britt explains how owning her lane early on allowed her to build a path that empowered others to do the same.Raising The Next Generation With IntegrityThe conversation turns tender as Britt opens up about her daughter, Emily, and her own entrepreneurial path in the beauty industry. From starting young to now preparing to rent her own booth, Emily’s story is a reflection of grounded parenting and personal drive. Britt shares candidly how she’s supported her daughter’s journey—without financially spoiling her—and what it means to raise a leader with confidence, clarity, and compassion.Connect with Britt Seva: Business Education for Beauty ProfessionalsIG: @brittsevaIG: The Thriving Stylist (@thethrivingstylist)Chapters02:45 The Journey of a Stylist and Educator05:56 Defining Wealth and Success in the Beauty Industry08:55 The Importance of Community and Real Conversations12:04 Navigating Leadership and Team Dynamics14:55 Financial Intelligence in the Beauty Business17:50 Parenting and Mentoring in the Industry20:53 Generational Differences in Work Ethic23:48 Books and Resources for GrowthLet’s chat!

    26 - A Day Witnessing Love in Action with Lipstick Angels

    A Day Of Presence And CareTo kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Joanne reflects on her time shadowing the Lipstick Angels at UCSF, a nonprofit offering beauty and healing services to cancer patients receiving treatment in hospitals. What she witnessed went far beyond makeup—it was about dignity, presence, and the kind of human connection that doesn’t require fixing. Each act of care was a reminder that even in sterile, clinical spaces, beauty and compassion can thrive.When Touch Becomes HealingLipstick Angels create space for healing not just through beauty, but through the quiet power of touch. Joanne shares what it was like to offer hand and scalp massages—simple, grounding moments that opened the door to deep connection. These interactions weren’t just for the patients, but often for caregivers too, offering relief and presence to those who rarely receive it. In a world of constant doing, this work is a powerful reminder that just being—with your hands, your eyes, your heart—can be enough.Learning To Trust Humanity AgainThis experience stayed with Joanne long after she left the hospital. In a world that often rushes past suffering, the Lipstick Angels slow down and bear witness. Their work reminds us that presence is medicine too. This episode is an invitation to look for beauty in unexpected places—and to remember how deeply we all long to be seen.Ep. 14 Beauty With a Purpose: The Healing Mission of Lipstick AngelsCheck Out Lipstick AngelsConnect on Instagram: Lipstick Angels (@lipstickangels) or LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lipstick-angels/Chapters05:05 The Impact of Beauty and Self-Care in Healthcare09:45 Lessons in Vulnerability and Resilience14:51 The Power of Compassion and Self-CareLet’s chat!
