In this episode, Dr. Taylor Bean, a leading naturopathic doctor and informed consent advocate, joins us to dismantle the illusion of medical transparency. We explore the complexities behind vaccine protocols, childhood immunization, and the overlooked nuances of informed consent—revealing how fear, shame, and coercion have replaced curiosity and autonomy in modern healthcare. From the rise of medical mandates to the subtle erosion of patient rights, Dr. Bean breaks down what every parent, practitioner, and patient must understand. This conversation will challenge your assumptions, ignite critical thinking, and empower you to reclaim authority over your health decisions.

Dr. Taylor Bean is a Naturopathic Doctor and owner of TaylorMade Wellness in Salmon Arm BC. Becoming a mother is where her core value of achieving informed consent was born. While her profession taught her to be curious and treat each patient individually, it was her positive birthing experiences that changed her perspective on what a true doctor-patient relationship means. Her career started in Singapore where she supported patients all over SE Asia and now has been supporting Canadians since 2016. Dr. Bean has been drawn to supporting women achieve an optimal pregnancy, labour preparation, paediatric wellness to more complex ailments that involve looking into methylation, genetic variants, chronic infections to complex paediatric conditions

In this episode, I’m bringing you a powerful wake-up call—one that’s as much for me as it is for you. I dive into the raw truths of what it means to reclaim your inner fire, dismantle limiting beliefs, and take radical ownership of your life. From the exhaustion of emotional burnout to the clarity that comes through nervous system healing, I share my personal reflections on how we betray our own souls for comfort, validation, and the illusion of safety. I speak honestly about what it takes to stop sleepwalking through your relationships, habits, and dreams—and how to finally listen to that ember inside that’s been waiting to be reignited. This episode is a rally cry for anyone ready to rise.

In this episode, I share a raw and reflective recording from a recent membership call where I explore what it means to truly surrender when life isn’t going the way we planned. I open up about personal struggles—from a home renovation disaster to deeper emotional reckonings—and unpack how resistance to reality often fuels our suffering. We dive into the complexities of relational dynamics, victimhood, shadow work, and the paradox of healing. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or at war with your own experience, this episode invites you to return to presence, self-honesty, and the power of simply “chopping wood and carrying water.” It’s vulnerable, unfiltered, and an invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are.
