• EP 17 // Freedom From Mold Sensitivity: How I Retrained My Brain’s Response to Mold

  If you’ve ever felt trapped by mold sensitivity - reacting to the tiniest exposure, rearranging your entire life to avoid it, and wondering if you’ll ever feel safe again - this episode is for you. In this continuation of last week’s story, I’m sharing how I used brain retraining to rewire my brain’s response to mold and stop those extreme reactions for good. You’ll hear exactly what that process looked like, the turning point that shifted everything (yes, it happened at Disney World 🏰), and the 4-step framework I used to get from constant fear to complete freedom. You’ll learn: ✨ The real reason your brain keeps overreacting to mold ✨ How to reframe your story about mold so healing can finally happen ✨ The importance of building new, safe associations with mold ✨ How to identify and interrupt the protective patterns keeping you stuck ✨ What incremental training really looks like (and how to do it safely) Whether you’re early in your retraining journey or deep in incremental training, this episode will help you see what’s possible and encourage you to keep going!

• EP 16 // The Truth About My Experience with Mold Toxicity (CIRS): Diagnosis, Treatment, and What I Wish I’d Known Sooner

  What would you do if your body reacted to almost every building you walked into? In this episode, Katie shares the deeply personal story behind her years of living with mold toxicity - also known as CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). She opens up about her official diagnosis, the extensive testing, and the long, exhausting journey through the Shoemaker-style treatment protocols that promised recovery but left her feeling worse. Katie reflects on the physical, emotional, and financial toll of doing “everything right,” and reveals the crucial turning point that changed her understanding of chronic illness forever. If you’ve ever wondered whether mold toxicity can truly be healed - or felt trapped in a cycle of detoxes, avoidance, and fear - this episode will give you perspective, hope, and the insight she wishes she’d had from the start.

• EP 15 // The Neuroscience of Political Polarization (and How to Break Free From Us vs. Them Thinking)

  Political polarization isn’t just about ideology - it’s deeply tied to our nervous systems. When your brain perceives threat, it slips into survival mode, shutting down critical thinking and pushing you into black-and-white categories: us vs. them, safe vs. unsafe, right vs. wrong. That instinct once kept our ancestors alive, but today it can fuel division by making it harder to see nuance, connect, or think critically. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the neuroscience behind political polarization and explain why every strong opinion is NOT coming from reasoned thought. Often, it’s your primal brain (your limbic system and brainstem) driving the narrative. You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re caught in that survival loop, why your nervous system shapes the way you interpret political conflict, and most importantly, how to shift back into a calmer state that allows for empathy, curiosity, and true critical thinking. Whether politics leaves you stressed, angry, or just confused, this conversation will help you step outside of binary, “us vs. them” thinking - and see how much power you have to change the way you engage.

• EP 14 // Overwhelmed by Healing? Here’s How to Simplify and See Results

  Does your brain retraining practice ever feel… way too complicated? Like you’re drowning in tools, second-guessing every choice, or paralyzed by decision fatigue? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing why simplicity is the secret ingredient to real progress - and how stripping things down can actually help you rewire faster. We’ll talk about how overcomplicating your practice (or your healing journey in general) can keep you stuck, why your brain thrives on clarity and focus, and how to set up your practice in a way that feels doable and sustainable.  You’ll walk away with a new lens for your practice: one that makes it easier to actually show up, retrain in the moment, and see results…all without burning yourself out.
