• S5E4: Fertility Myths Debunked: How Your Nervous System & Environment Impact Conception with Dr. Aumatma Simmons
    Aug 4 2025

    Have you ever been told your fertility 'drops off a cliff at 35'—only to feel your body scream otherwise?

    Dr. Aumatma Simmons is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist revolutionizing fertility care. After witnessing countless couples struggle with invasive treatments, she pioneered a functional approach that addresses root causes—without drugs or financial strain. She's helped hundreds of "medically hopeless" couples conceive naturally. Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Aumatma has trained hundreds of physicians, authored a best-selling book, is host of an award-winning podcast, and created Madre Fertility—the world's first Smart Fertility Analysis. Featured across major networks as the leading Holistic Fertility Expert, she's expanding her "fertile systems" approach to help professionals create abundance without burnout.

    Join us to unravel why this myth (traced to 1800s France!) is dangerously outdated—and how your nervous system, gut health, and even your relationship dynamics might be the real keys to conception.


    Episode Highlights:

    • Debunking the 1800s fertility myth (life expectancy was 33!)
    • Why your nervous system blocks pregnancy in "unsafe" conditions
    • Men's fertility health: Beyond "normal" sperm counts
    • Gut-fertility connection & surprising IVF reversals
    • Stress resilience tools: 5-minute body scans, women's circles
    • Manifestation requires action + mindset shifts

    And many more!

  • S5E2: Manifestation, Nervous System Healing & Finding Your Flow After Rock Bottom with Mayssa Chehata
    Jul 7 2025

    What if hitting rock bottom wasn’t the end - but the brutal, messy beginning of your rebirth?

    In this episode, Mayssa Chehata (founder of Behave Candy) pulls back the curtain on her breakdown-to-breakthrough journey: from burnout, self-sabotage, and maxed-out credit cards to rebuilding her nervous system, business, and self-worth from scratch.

    No sugarcoating here. Mayssa shares:

    • Why her lowest point became the catalyst she needed (even when it felt like the universe had abandoned her).
    • How unprocessed childhood rage masqueraded as exhaustion, sugar addiction, and chaotic relationships.
    • The actual tools that rewired her subconscious (spoiler: it involved screaming into pillows and ugly-crying through meditations).


    If you’ve ever…

    ✔ ️ Fake "fine" while feeling spiritually bankrupt…

    ✔ ️ Watch your dreams stall because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode…

    ✔ ️ Or wondered if healing is just a luxury for people with "calmer" trauma…

    …this episode is your proof: Transformation isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up to the mess and trusting the fall is part of the rise.

  • PMDD AWARENESS MONTH SPECIAL: Your Questions Answered with Mandy Rother, RD
    Apr 30 2025

    Hey friends, welcome back to the Flow State Podcast!

    This episode is a special one, not just because it’s PMDD Awareness Month, but because we’re joined again by someone you’ve probably heard and loved before: functional dietitian and PMDD advocate, Mandy Rother.

    If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a mountain of supplements, wondering why nothing’s working… or feeling overwhelmed by all the advice out there on how to manage PMDD. This episode is for you. It’s part myth-busting, part deep-dive, and all heart. ❤️

    Monica and Mandy talk candidly about:

    • Why not all supplements are created equal (and how to know the difference)


    • How PMDD symptoms are tied to much more than hormones


    • The role of nutrition, rest, rhythms, and deeper purpose in the healing journey


    • What it really takes to see sustainable change


    • Plus: the behind-the-scenes story of Marea’s PMS Elixir — how it was created, tested, and continues to evolve

    And many more!

    Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing symptoms for years, or supporting someone with PMDD, you’ll walk away from this conversation with clarity, compassion, and a few “a-ha!” moments.

    💡 Bonus: Mandy shares 4 major reasons why supplements might not be working for you and what to do instead.

    We’d love to keep this Q&A style going, so if you’ve got questions we didn’t get to, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you - always.
