On this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, 👋 It’s been a minute since it’s just been me on the mic, and wow… I’ve got a spicy, controversial topic for you today. Before we get into it, though, I’ve got some incredible guests lined up—including the amazing Dr. Wendy Sellens (aka @estrogenfree 🩷). We’re going to dive into all things breast health, women’s health, and phytoestrogens soon—but today? We’re talking sunglasses.

Yep. Sunglasses.
For decades, we’ve been told to grab our sunnies before stepping outside, but more and more experts are challenging that idea. I’m breaking down the growing conversation around what happens when we block our eyes from natural sunlight—and how that might be throwing off everything from our circadian rhythm to melanin production, hormone signaling, and even vitamin D synthesis.

☀️ Here’s what I get into:

• Why morning and evening sunlight is key for your body’s natural rhythm.
  
  
• How sunglasses can confuse your mitochondria and hormone signaling.
  
  
• What wellness voices like Dr. Paul Saladino, Gary Brecka, and Jack Kruse are saying.
  
  
• My personal experience with floaters and how castor oil unexpectedly helped.
  
  
• Why “fashion vs. function” might be a conversation worth having.
  
  
• A few practical takeaways on when it actually makes sense to wear shades.
  
  

I know this one might ruffle a few feathers 😎 but messy conversations are my favorite kind. We can’t grow if we only talk about what’s comfortable.

🌿 My takeaway: Our bodies are incredible. They were designed to work with the sun—not against it. I’m not saying toss out your Ray-Bans forever, but maybe… let that morning light in.

💬 Let’s chat:
Do you wear sunglasses every day? Have you noticed how natural light affects your mood or energy? And bonus question—should we keep doing time changes or ditch them altogether? Drop me a comment or DM me your thoughts!

🎧 Thanks for tuning in to Everything’s Messy Podcast. Remember: it’s not about perfect—it’s about staying curious, getting a little messy, and taking better care of ourselves along the way.

In this powerful episode, of Everything's Messy Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and transformational guide Ina Segal (The Secret Language of Your Body) to unpack how unprocessed emotions—and even generational trauma—can manifest as very real physical symptoms. Ina shares her story of immigrating from Eastern Europe, growing up with constant anxiety, back pain, psoriasis, and severe digestive issues, and the devastating loss of a child that became a turning point. Through one raw, honest night of “listening” to her body, breath by breath, she began to decode its language, ask for God’s help, and unwind pain connected to family history, wartime survival, money stress, and buried grief. Together, Sarah and Ina explore why the nervous system must be stabilized before deep trauma work, how compassion beats force every time, and why shifting from victimhood to courageous curiosity can change everything. You’ll also hear moving stories of Ina’s grandparents—a reminder of the Greatest/Silent Generation’s resilience—and a stunning moment when visualization helped her grandfather reclaim lightness and connection after years of decline. If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in symptoms that don’t make sense, this conversation reframes healing as a braid of mind, body, and spirit—one gentle, intentional strand at a time. ✨

On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast 🎧 I’m joined by certified health coach Anthony Guastella, and wow—his story is the definition of grit. Diagnosed with Lyme at 16, Anthony chose victor over victim and spent six years rebuilding his health from the inside out. We dig into the real foundations of wellness—mastering your mind first, then dialing in the “boring but magic” basics: real food, sunlight, movement, stress reduction, and sleep you fiercely protect. Anthony breaks down why Lyme can lie dormant for years, how nervous-system health is everything, and why tools like hyperbaric oxygen, smart fasting (hello, autophagy!), and 80/20 living can change your life. We talk epigenetics (yes, your daily choices matter), hormetic stressors that make you tougher, and choosing your hard so you can claim your freedom. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your mess, consider this your permission slip with purpose: show up, shiv-it (shift + pivot 😉), and keep going.

You’ll hear: how to build belief when the outside world says “you can’t,” the sleep routines that actually stick, personalized nutrition without the dogma, energy “boosters” you can stack through your day, and why growth + service = purpose. Plus, a pep talk on legacy, leadership, and refusing to outsource your health.
