  • In this episode, we’re joined by Kristin Maczko — neuroscience PhD, well-being expert, and integral coach. Kristin breaks down the neurobiology behind our need for connection and how understanding your brain can deepen self-care. We discuss how childhood attachment styles shape adult relationships and how healing happens through healthy connection. Kristin also shares practical ways to calm your inner critic through self-compassion. Plus, we dive into how attachment styles can show up at work and how to support well-being in the workplace (as both an individual contributor and as a manager). If you’re seeking a more holistic approach to self-care and relationships, don’t miss this conversation.

  • Many women feel dismissed by conventional healthcare—cycling through doctors and specialists without real solutions for hormonal imbalances, gut issues, weight gain, and more. The problem? Western medicine often focuses on managing disease rather than preventing it. Holistic and Eastern medicine, on the other hand, prioritize root-cause healing through nutrition, lifestyle, herbal remedies, and functional lab testing. Integrative medicine blends the best of both, leveraging modern science while emphasizing natural healing. If you’re ready to take charge of your health, step into a more holistic approach, and seek solutions beyond the conventional system, then this episode is for you.
