• Episode 129: 8 “Micro” Wins That Changed Everything – Inside the Past 20 Months of Targeted Healing & Resilience
    Aug 8 2025

    Big transformations are exciting, but the micro wins? They’re where the real magic happens.

    In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my last 20 months of targeted healing.

    This has been a season of muscle building, deep gut healing, continued mineral balancing, targeted liver cleanses, and nervous system regulation through breathwork and somatic practices.

    Along the way, I’ve experienced eight unexpected — and amazing — shifts in my body and mind:

    • Feeling braver in everyday life and adventure.
    • Waking up lit up with more energy than ever.
    • Craving movement like my body is asking for it.
    • Becoming an effortless morning person.
    • Feeling warmer… mmm, my metabolism is on fire.
    • Peeing less. (Yes, this matters!)
    • Rarely feeling bloated.
    • Zero fragility with weather or barometric changes.

    I’ll share exactly what’s behind each win and why they matter so much for your own journey.

    These aren’t just random improvements. They’re signs of deep, cellular-level healing. Because when you change your terrain, you change how you respond to everything.

    If this episode sparks something in you, share it with a friend, leave a review, or DM me on Instagram with your biggest takeaway.

    I can’t wait to celebrate your wins alongside you.

  • Episode 127: How to Bounce Back After a Freak Accident or Chaotic Plot Twists
    Jul 26 2025

    Please know that with every episode I share, there are a million nuances. The context of this episode is a MATCH for my experience and not necessarily a match for your own. I encourage you to listen with love and discernment.💜

    On the pathway to your future self and creating your dream life, you’ll inevitably encounter setbacks, obstacles and moments of self-doubt.

    In fact, you could be doing all of the “right things” and still experience wild, chaotic plot twists, including unexpected freak accidents.

    This pathway isn’t about making sure they never happen. Or trying to avoid them. Or thinking something is wrong with you when they do happen.

    It’s about your awareness when they happen. And knowing that you bounce back.

    Your perception IS key.

    In today’s episode, I share a real-life freak accident that happened FOR me during our anniversary trip to Glacier.

    I walk you through…

    • The real rawness of what was going through my mind.
    • The intense pain I was experiencing, and the primal survival mode that kicked in.
    • The signs that made me feel like “I’m going to be okay.”
    • The emotional release to process the profound sadness I was feeling.
    • The somatic exercises to move through shame and confusion.
    • The journaling to process and understand the deeper meaning.
    • The homeopathics to support the clearing.

    I also share what achieving a bounce back feels like and why achieving it allowed me to continue to have an amazing (truly epic) vacation!

    This episode is about as vulnerable as it gets!

  • Episode 126: Flow vs. Force — Tapping into Feminine Energetics to Plan Your Next Vacay
    Jul 4 2025

    Have you ever made a decision that makes very little sense, but also makes PERFECT sense at the same time?

    These are always the best, most expansive decisions.

    But oftentimes, they’re the hardest to CLAIM.

    I knew I was facing a decision like this when I got a last-minute nudge to go to Glacier National Park for our 17th wedding anniversary.

    And in today’s episode, I share how I decided what to do and everything that happened next.

    Come behind the scenes with me to see what it looks like — literally! — when you lean back and say YES to the flow that wants to come your way.

    You’ll get an up-close view of:

    • The loud and clear nudge I received.
    • Why it made very little sense to say YES.
    • Why we said YES anyway. 🙂
    • The oh-so-magical way things LINED up.
    • Details of the places we stayed, the hikes we took and the moments we shared.
    • A freak accident.
    • The unusual things I packed.
    • Why it’s sacred to declare your “bucket lists.”
    • And so much more!

    Maybe you feel a trip calling your name but you’re too afraid to claim it.

    Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to make vacations “work” and feel expansive.

    Maybe you just want to listen to high-vibe conversation.

    Whatever the reason is for you being here, enjoy!

    To help complete the picture, here’s a photo of me and Adam feeling absolute awe while hiking the Grinnell Glacier trail. Follow along on my Instagram stories to see more photos from the trip.

  • Episode 124: Healing Birth Trauma with Nicole Safford, a Fiercely Empowered Mama
    Apr 18 2025

    Birth today in the US is a pretty corrupted experience. How often does it go the way mom wants? The way baby wants?

    This conversation is a sacred one. Birth is where it all starts.

    Every single one of us has a birth story.

    In other words, the way we came into the world IS significant.

    In today’s episode, I sit down with FEM Nicole Safford and we go deep into birth trauma.

    Our conversation can help you have incredible awareness into your health story by pointing to your birth experience, your birth trauma or the birth trauma your child experienced.

    Trauma is not the event itself but the felt sense of an experience. The memory is held in the body, not the brain.

    Uncover how birth trauma imprints on the nervous system, impacting gene expression and emotional, physical and cellular well-being throughout life and across generations.

    In today’s episode, we explore:

    • How the mother-baby connection shapes resilience.
    • The lasting influence of prenatal and perinatal experiences.
    • The body’s cellular memory of trauma.
    • The science behind trauma physiology, neurodevelopment and most importantly, the pathways to healing.
    • How “the way you birth changes the earth.”

    Grab your journal — this is definitely an episode where you’ll want to jot down the awareness and connections that come through for your continued healing journey and your child's.

    About Nicole

    Nicole is a second-year Fiercely Empowered Mama and mom of two young boys. Her drive to heal her son led her to Mamahood, my natural mama pop-up Facebook group, where her medical mindset shifted, prompting her to leave her role as a registered nurse and pursue natural healing.

    Through FEM, Nicole embraced her role as the "Head of the Healthcare Table" and immersed herself in the study of birth trauma healing, retained primitive reflex integration, movement, bodywork and energy healing.

    With the support of the work we do inside FEM, along with her drive to learn, she remained focused on addressing the root causes of her son’s challenges.

    Nicole’s journey not only transformed her son’s health but also set her on a path of self-discovery and alignment.

    Now, she’s passionate about empowering other moms to trust their intuition and seek out the root causes of healing for their own children.

  • Episode 123: Unpacking Pretty Lies — Is Botox for You? With Guest Megan McCue
    Apr 11 2025
    As you know, I’m an avid reader, rabbit hole deep-diver and researcher. I want to know the truth. Always. And one of my gifts is my built-in bullshit detector. My body quickly responds to and has resonance with truth and alignment, knowing when false narratives, pretty lies or fear mongering are at play. So when I started hearing and seeing highly respected and adored natural health influencers (women who I shared many similar health values with) using it and sharing publicly to their faithful followers that it’s MORE than safe, you better believe my BS detector went off. How can the most lethal substance on the planet be used in the same sentence as the word “safe”? Let me be clear: It is not in alignment with me to receive any Botox, filler or plastic surgery. But that does not mean I don’t want to understand it more. As an advocate for informed consent with a passion for serving women, it’s my job to know the risks and side effects. Around a year ago, I added myself to numerous Botox and filler injury groups. I half-jokingly say that I did this so I never become delusional enough to think these are safe options. Promised quick fixes seldom are. But in reality, in addition to my deep dives, I wanted to have reference for anecdotal stories of injury and recovery. I wanted to understand how injured women were being treated by the medical profession and their injectors, and what tips and reference points they had to advocate for themselves. Bottom line, I wanted to understand the dark side of this everyday cosmetic procedure that continues to skyrocket in demand. In one of these groups, I came across Megan McCue’s Botox injury story. I didn’t know that she was still in the thick of her recovery journey, but I did have the gut knowing that one day, Megan would be a guest on the Fiercely Awakening podcast. And this week, the timing aligned. Join us in this episode as Megan not only walks us through her Botox injury, but also shares great detail on the context of this wonder beauty drug. She shares: The unfortunate details of what transpired the day of her injection.The many symptoms that she experienced that completely compromised her quality of life. The complexities of navigating healing and recovery from Botox injuries. The true history of this drug, including both medical and cosmetic uses, and why this is critical information to have for anyone contemplating trying Botox, no matter the reason. A reality check on just how frequent injuries — beyond cosmetic — are happening, and great details on the adverse and toxic effects.And natural options to consider for addressing the signs of aging and slowing down the aging process. Megan has three books available: Her first book, “Me Tox Pretty: A Story of Iatrogenic Botulism and The Ugly Side of Cosmetic Injections,” includes the details of her injury experience. Her second book, “Notox: The Shocking Truth About Cosmetic Injections,” includes the history of Botox. And her third and newly released book, “Iatrogenic Botulism 101: A Guide for Doctors, Nurses, & Other Healthcare Providers,” is a deep dive on all the side effects, symptoms and healing process from Botox. You can find her by following these links to her website, www.meganmccue.com, and Instagram @botoxtruths. About Megan Megan McCue is a medical speech-language pathologist and writer. She developed iatrogenic botulism after receiving a small amount of Botox once, and has since become a passionate advocate for medical informed consent and pharmaceutical transparency. When she is not thinking or writing about botulism, she can be found hanging out with her children, husband, or piano. Hooking You Up! Instantly Save $50 on the Cleansing Circle!

  • Episode 122: “Biggest Transformation of My Life” — Real Talk on All Things Cleansing with Carla Westerby
    Apr 5 2025

    Is your body craving a cleanse, but your mind keeps derailing you?

    Do you look in the mirror and wish for a natural glow-up?

    If you want a massive upgrade and transformation in your health and your life, this episode is a must-listen.

    Join me as I sit down and talk with Carla Westerby, who's now completed two Master Cleanses.

    She is PROOF that even ONE cleanse can literally change your life.

    What I love so much about this interview is that Carla shares alll the details of her cleanse experience.

    At one point she asked me, “Is this okay to say this here?”

    And my answer, of course, was “don’t hold back!”

    Listen in and prep your mind for your own cleansing glow-up as we talk about:

    • Why Carla was “deathly afraid” of doing a Master Cleanse.
    • How her brain reacted (hello, mini ego tantrum) the moment she realized her body was speaking loudly to step into one.
    • The number one motivator that made her follow through with her first cleanse. (This will motivate you, too!!)
    • The emotional, physical and spiritual upgrades that came with cleansing.
    • Why she believes her body felt safe enough to release weight and keep it off.
    • Why weight loss should never be your number one priority when it comes to saying YES to true cleansing.
    • The health risks of losing weight fast without proper support.
    • The shocking things that happened while she was on the cleanse.
    • Her top tips to set yourself for cleansing.
    • How her first cleanse JUMP-STARTED massive shifts.
    • How she kept momentum going the ENTIRE year with “unshakeable healing and wellness habits” and completely disrupted her past patterns of inconsistency.
    • And so much more…
