  60. The Career Mindset Shift Every High-Achieving Woman Needs with Karishma Wadhwani

  Aug 18, 202645 min

  Your career should support your life—not consume it. When success comes at the expense of your health, relationships, and peace of mind, it's time to redefine what achievement really looks like. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with holistic career coach Karishma Wadhwani to explore the powerful connection between career, identity, and overall well-being. After spending 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before becoming an entrepreneur, Karishma shares why hustle culture keeps so many high-achieving women stuck in burnout and how outdated beliefs around work can quietly sabotage our health. Together, they discuss why your job title isn't your identity, how to create healthier boundaries at work and at home, and why intentional career growth should support your nervous system—not overwhelm it. Whether you're navigating burnout, considering a career pivot, searching for a new role, or simply trying to find better balance, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building success without sacrificing yourself. In this episode: Why your job is only one part of your overall life—not your identity How hustle culture contributes to chronic stress and burnout The importance of aligning your career with your current season of life Why "setting expectations" can feel more empowering than setting boundaries How to communicate effectively with your boss, partner, and support system Why taking time to pause can actually improve long-term success The connection between career satisfaction, nervous system health, and overall wellness How fear and old conditioning can keep you stuck in unhealthy work patterns Practical mindset shifts to help you build a sustainable career Connect with Karishma: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.careercoach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holisticcareercoachkarishmawadhwani/ https://www.facebook.com/karishma.wadhwani/ Freebie: https://stan.store/karishmawadhwani/p/2026-job-search-blueprint-in-30-days Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  59. Eating Less and Cutting out Foods is NOT the Solution with Rita Utterback

  Aug 11, 202649 min

  Women have been taught that healing means eating less, cutting out more foods, and following increasingly restrictive diets. The truth is, those well-intentioned food rules may be doing far more harm than good. In this episode of Healthy Buzz, I sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and certified holistic nutritionist Rita Utterback to unpack the hidden consequences of elimination diets, diet culture, and food fear—especially for women navigating PCOS, endometriosis, Hashimoto's, and chronic digestive issues. Drawing from both her personal experience with endometriosis and her work with clients, Rita shares how years of restrictive eating left her with worsening gut health, depleted beneficial bacteria, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Together, we discuss why true healing requires looking beyond food restrictions and addressing the deeper root causes of digestive dysfunction, hormone imbalances, stress, and nervous system regulation. If you've been overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice or feel like you're constantly chasing the next diet that promises to "fix" your hormones, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why eliminating more foods isn't always the answer to healing PCOS, endometriosis, and gut issues How restrictive diets can damage your gut microbiome and increase food sensitivities Why stress, under-eating, and nervous system dysregulation often drive digestive symptoms The truth about Low FODMAP, keto, carnivore, and other popular elimination diets Why SIBO is a symptom—not the root cause—and what often gets overlooked How under-eating impacts metabolism, thyroid function, hormones, and gut health Why healing your relationship with food is essential for physical healing The role beneficial gut bacteria play in hormone balance, immunity, and nutrient absorption How to safely begin reintroducing foods and rebuild trust in your body Why personalized nutrition will always outperform one-size-fits-all diet advice Connect with Rita Website: https://www.radiatewithrita.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radiatewithrita/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@radiatewithrita Podcast: https://www.radiatewithrita.com/podcast Free Resource | Gut & Hormone Root Cause Scorecard: https://www.radiatewithrita.com/rootcausescorecard Connect with me: Website: https://beecollectivewellness.com Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Work with me: ⁠⁠ https://beecollectivewellness.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  58. Unpacking Grief & Finding Your Way Forward with Tamara Kubacki

  Aug 4, 202646 min

  Grief has been heavy in my world lately — I recently lost my sweet dog Van, my constant shadow in this office. Since so many of you are carrying your own losses too, I'm re-airing episode 3, Unpacking Grief and Finding Your Way Forward, with my dear friend and grief coach. Wherever you are in your grief, this one's for you. Grief is universal—but often deeply isolating. In this episode, I sit down with Certified Grief Educator Tamara Kubacki, founder of Listening to Grief, to explore the many layers of loss—and why learning to grieve openly can be one of the most healing things we do. Tamara shares her personal story of losing both parents and her sister, how that shaped her understanding of grief, and the tools she now uses to support others through one-on-one coaching and communal experiences like her popular grief walks. Through her work, Tamara provides empathetic, storytelling-based grief coaching and creates events that bring people together to grieve in natural and creative spaces. Her work has been featured in The Seattle Times and West Seattle Blog, and she actively collaborates with artists, yoga instructors, herbalists, and more to destigmatize grief and make it less lonely.

  57. Perimenopause Deserves More Than "Just Deal With It": The Truth No One Prepared Us For with Megan Bird

  Jul 28, 202643 min

  Perimenopause isn't confusing because your body is failing—it's confusing because women have been left to piece together answers on their own. In this episode, Brandee sits down with Megan Bird, founder of Uplift Menopause Coaching and co-host of the Coming of Rage podcast, for an honest conversation about navigating perimenopause without the overwhelm. Together, they unpack why so many women feel dismissed by the healthcare system, how social media can both help and hurt, and why education, self-advocacy, and community are essential during this stage of life. Megan shares her own journey through perimenopause, what led her to become a menopause coach, and how finding evidence-based education completely changed the way she viewed her symptoms. If you've been wondering whether what you're experiencing is "normal," feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, or searching for a more compassionate approach to midlife health, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and far less alone. What You'll Learn Why perimenopause is rarely a one-size-fits-all experience How to filter through the overwhelming amount of menopause information online The importance of building a healthcare team that truly listens Why hormone therapy can be a helpful tool—but not a magic solution How community, self-advocacy, and self-compassion can transform the perimenopause journey Connect with Megan: Website: https://www.upliftmenopausecoaching.com/ Website: https://www.comingofrage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comingofrage_podcast/ Podcast: https://www.comingofrage.com/episodes Connect with me: Sign up for my newsletter: https://bcw.beecollectivewellness.com/newsletter-signup Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com

  56. Beyond Kegels: Why Your Pelvic Floor Is the Missing Link Between Nervous System, Hormones, and Healing with Dr. Tara Morrison

  Jul 21, 202649 min

  We often chase symptoms, the pain, the flare-up, and try to silence them with medication, surgery, or a standard round of physical therapy. But what if the real work is looking at the fire underneath the alarm? In this episode of Healthy Buzz, Brandee sits down with Dr. Tara Morrison, doctor of physical therapy and creator of Somatic Pelvic Care, to explore why traditional pelvic floor therapy doesn't always create lasting results. Together, they unpack the powerful connection between the pelvic floor, nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, lymphatic health, emotional wellbeing, and the body's ability to heal. Dr. Tara explains why symptoms like urinary leakage, constipation, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and low libido are often signs of deeper imbalances—not problems to simply "fix" with exercises alone. She shares how survival patterns, chronic stress, trauma, and even blood sugar instability can influence pelvic floor function, and why slowing down to reconnect with your body may be the missing piece so many women have been searching for. This conversation is for any woman who's been told her symptoms are "normal," has tried multiple treatments without lasting relief, or wants a more holistic understanding of pelvic health that addresses the whole person—not just the muscles. In This Episode: Why traditional pelvic floor therapy often falls short The connection between the nervous system and chronic pelvic tension How urinary leakage, constipation, and pelvic pain can share the same root causes Why blood sugar balance matters for hormones, healing, and pelvic health The surprising link between stress, libido, and the pelvic floor How somatic awareness helps the body heal beyond exercises alone Why foundational habits like movement, sleep, hydration, and sunlight still matter most Small, sustainable changes that create meaningful progress without overwhelm Connect with Tara: Website: https://sacredbloompelviccare.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtaramorrison/ Connect with me: Sign up for my newsletter: https://bcw.beecollectivewellness.com/newsletter-signup Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/beecollectivewellness/ Produced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com
