- The postpartum closet meltdown nobody warns you about and why it costs you more than time

- How Lorissa went from always being "the smallest" to gaining 80 lbs and completely rebuilding her relationship with her body

We have our first guest ever on the pod, Dr. Sam Riley. He's a chiropractor who practices frequency medicine, which means he looks at the whole person: structural, emotional, and biochemical.

We get into why "fixing your nervous system" might be missing the point, what's actually behind high cortisol and that tired-but-wired feeling, and why emotions show up in the body more than most people realize.

What we cover:

→ Dr. Sam's origin story (and the moment he walked out of his allergist's office at 14)

→ What frequency medicine actually is and how it differs from Western medicine

→ Why your nervous system might be doing exactly what it's supposed to do

→ The connection between emotions and physical symptoms

→ Alex's fertility journey and what shifted when she addressed a subconscious block

→ High cortisol, fight or flight, and the "tired but wired" cycle

→ Blood sugar, hydration, and minerals—the foundations most people skip

→ Why working on emotional trauma is just as important as seeing a chiropractor

→ Practical takeaways for high-achieving women who can't overhaul their lives overnight

We're back for Episode 2, and today we're getting into delegation - why it's so hard for high achievers, where perfectionism sneaks in, and how to figure out what to hold close versus what to let go.

We also go off on some tangents (as we do) about childhood, how our pasts shape our parenting, what it means to keep growing instead of chasing "perfect," and why nothing has to be permanent.

What we cover:

→ Why the most successful people struggle the most with delegating

→ The two buckets for deciding what to outsource

→ How we approach childcare completely differently (and why both work)

→ The real reason perfectionism keeps you stuck

→ The myth of "balance" and why gray area is the goal
